Today, at the conclusion of its sixth General Assembly, the Sodalitium of Christian Life, a Catholic Society of Apostolic Life founded in Lima, Peru in the 1970s by the layman Luis Fernando Figari, announced that the Holy Father Francis has suppressed the community.  Rumors of this announcement emerged a few weeks ago while the assembly was still in course in Aparecida, Brazil. The assembly quickly reprimanded two members who had leaked the information.  You can read the press release in... Read more

The immigrant experience, my experience

Last updated on: January 29, 2025 at 9:30 am   By Father Pablo Migone

I am convinced that if possible, every person prefers to remain in the country where he or she was born. There are only a few things more disruptive in a person’s life than being uprooted from everything that is familiar and attempting to replant those roots elsewhere. I will never forget the day in 1991 when my mother told my sister and me that we would leave our homeland, Peru. Bombs blasted daily in Lima, kidnappings, blackouts, murders and rampant... Read more

Today we rejoice with exciting news from Rome.  The Diocese of Savannah has issued the statement below, confirming that Pope Francis has officially recognized that the friars killed in September 1597 in coastal Georgia truly died as witnesses of the faith. I’ve been closely involved in this Cause for Beatification since 2014 when I visited the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the Postulator of the Cause in Rome with the now Archbishop of Atlanta, Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM... Read more

Vice President Vance openly criticizes U.S. Bishops

Last updated on: January 26, 2025 at 11:04 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

Vice- President JD Vance accused the US Conference of Catholic Bishops during a Face the Nation interview that their involvement in humanitarian aid toward immigrants is fueled by financial gain.  He further stated that the US Bishops have not been good partners in common sense immigration enforcement. I am not sure where to begin critiquing these points.  The worst is that he makes these statements flourishing them with indications that he is a devout Catholic.  He mentions that he is... Read more

Holy Year 2025, Open the Doors to Christ

Last updated on: January 2, 2025 at 4:58 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

Pope Francis has opened the Holy Door at Saint Peter Basilica in the Vatican.  Every twenty-five years since the year 1300, the Church has proclaimed a year of Jubilee.  This is consistent with the Jewish tradition of a jubilee when debts were pardoned and slaves were freed.  On December 30th, I had the opportunity to walk through this door which is usually sealed shut with concrete. The Holy Year is a moment in the life of the Church when the... Read more

Bishop Stephen D. Parkes, Bishop of Savannah, issued the statement below in regards to immigration issues which affect the Catholic Church in the United States.  The first, is the uncertainty of many Catholic faithful who are in the United States without proper authorization, the second, is the significant delays in the immigration process for clergy to remain in the United States once their Religious Worker Visa expires.  This second concern is causing many dioceses throughout the country to loose priests... Read more

Our Lady of Guadalupe, mother to all

The Virgin Mary appeared four times to Saint Juan Diego on December 1531, only ten years after the defeat of the Aztec empire in Mexico by the Spanish. This time period marked the integration of Spanish and native cultures which ultimately gave rise to a unique people and culture which continues to flourish today throughout Latin America. Mary’s words to Juan Diego were soon recorded in the work called Nican Mopohua written in Nahuatl, the language of the natives. Her words for... Read more
