Christ Or Money: The new Polish prime-minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called on the European Union to return to its values and to its traditional Christian roots. Talking to the Catholic TV Trwam he said that his dream was to “christianize the European Union again”. Poland has been threatened by the EU that it would be punished if it restricts abortion rights. Morawiecki said that the former French president François Hollande told him, “You have the values, we have the money.”

Loss of Credibility: The Boston Globe which exposed sexual abuse in the Boston Archdiocese, has published a self-report of sexual abuse of its own employees. Catholic League’s Bill Donohue pointed out that the newspaper released the story right before 6:00 p.m. on Friday in order to minimize the attention, the report would receive. Almost all Boston and U.S. media refused to discuss the story. Donohue adds, “When it comes to priests, however, many in the Boston media—none is worse than the Globe—find solidarity trying to bring down the Church. This is just one more reason why the media’s credibility is at an all-time low.”

Laws Must Be Respected: The former Archbishop of Palermo, Italy, Cardinal Salvatore Romeo, has defended the decision not to liberate the sick Marcello Dell’Utri, a former Italian politician who was condemned for collusion with the Mafia. The Cardinal’s argument - quote, "Who am I to replace a judge? Laws must be respected and applied, even when we do not like them ". One would wish that popes, bishops and cardinals would apply similar principles when it comes to Church law.

German Church: Sister Johanna Boenisch belongs to the Benedictine nuns of Kall, Germany. Talking to katholisch.de, the news-page of the German bishops, she recounted that a group of candidates for confirmation recently visited her monastery.
