His new book distills centuries of Habsburg history into a slim volume of entertaining anecdotes, including family members who were exemplars of faith like Blessed Emperor Karl and Venerable Archduchess Magdalena.
One of the top stories at NCRegister.com last month was about a web platform that seeks to combat porn addictions. The project took its inspiration from an unlikely source: Blessed Carlo Acutis. Register writer Solène Tadié wrote that story. She joins us now from Rome just days after she followed Pope Francis’ travels to Hungary last weekend. Solène gives us highlights about the unique ways of evangelizing in our culture and the impact of the Holy Father on young and old alike in Hungary. Then we turn to happenings in the Church in another European country, Germany. Jonathan Liedl has more on the situation there, and we examine the question: How does the German tax influence German Catholicism?
Pope Francis touched on immigration, war in Ukraine, and gender issues in a country whose government has styled itself as a defender of Christian values.
COMMENTARY: On the choice between Brussels and Budapest, Pope Francis picked Rome — exposing reductive media accounts in the process.
‘Nothing is more unifying than hope in Jesus,’ said Father Zoltán Osztie, parish priest of the Inner City Parish Church.
The Pope also covered ecumenism and migration, among other topics, in his in-flight presser on board the papal plane from Hungary to Rome.
The Pope spoke at the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest.
‘The history of salvation does not begin with us, with our merits, our abilities, and our structures. It begins with the call of God,’ the Pope said.
The Holy Father met with thousands of young people on Saturday. He encouraged his audience to be energetic disciples of Jesus: ‘Jesus is a friend, the best of friends. ... When you pray, don’t be afraid to bring to Jesus everything that is going on in your life: your emotions and fears, your problems and expectations, your memories and hopes.’
The Pope evoked the example of Hungary’s beloved 13th-century princess-saint, known for her piety and heroic service to the poor, saying Elizabeth spoke ‘the language of charity.’
