Pope Leo XIV has given permission for U.S. Cardinal Raymond L. Burke to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica during a pilgrimage in October.

A funeral Mass was offered Sept. 9 in Dunmore, Pa., for Sister Joan Golden of the Congregation of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sister Joan, formerly known as Sister M. St. Robert, died Sept. 3. She was 91.

Sixty-seven percent of French people value the option of choosing between public schools and Catholic schools under contract with the state, according to a survey published Sept. 2 by the French Institute of Public Opinion.

Pope Leo XIV formally suppressed two dioceses in China and erected a new one, which already had been operating without the Vatican’s consent.

Crying out to God during moments of extreme trial does not mark a crisis of faith but can reflect an act of total surrender to and enduring trust in God, Pope Leo XIV said.
