Synod Retreat – Day 1: Homily by Archbishop Timothy Costelloe

As, in the days ahead, we grapple with the question of how to be a synodal Church in mission, we will need to keep our eyes on Christ. At times what we see will console us, at times it will confuse us, and at times it may even confront or frighten us. But in the end, to paraphrase a famous phrase of Pope Saint John XX111, the Church is Christ’s, not ours. It is him we follow, no-one else. (Read More)

In Belgium, pope apologises for clergy abuse; prime minister says words alone are insufficient

  Pope Francis on Sept. 27 kicked off a three-day trip to Belgium by asking forgiveness for the church’s shameful record on clergy abuse, but was met with a challenge by the country’s prime minister that “words alone do not suffice.” “We also need concrete steps,” said Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. “Victims need to be heard. They need to be at the center. They have a right to truth. Misdeeds need to be recognized.” The prime minister’s unusually sharp remarks spotlighted an issue that has loomed large over the pope’s visit here ever since it was first announced and where the local church is reeling from the fallout of a damning 2023 documentary on clergy abuse.

Fr Frank Brennan’s Homily for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2024

We have cause to reflect on today’s second reading from James: ‘An answer for the rich. Start crying, weep for the miseries that are coming to you.
