Complacency and Inertia: In his first two years in Philadelphia, Archbishop Charles Chaput has witnessed “tough news” - Chaput wrote in his Sept. 6 column for CatholicPhilly.com. According to him, the archdiocese suffered the ill effects of both – quote - “well-intentioned but poor financial management” and “outright embezzlement.” The archbishop said these problems had been compounded by “complacency, inertia and too little transparency and accountability at almost every level of Church life.”

There Was No Phone Call: The Vatican firmly denied reports from France that on Friday Pope Francis telephoned a homosexual Frenchman to reassure him. Christophe Trutino lied during a newspaper interview and claimed that the Pontiff, in a personal call, told him quote, “Your homosexuality. It doesn't matter".

A Criminal Act: The Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III of Antioch, Syria, said that if the U.S. launches an attack on his country, it will be - quote - “a criminal act which will only reap more victims, in addition to the tens of thousands during these two years of war.” Gregory continued: “For the last two and a half years, Eastern and Western countries have not stopped sending weapons, money, military experts, secret service agents and Salafist fundamentalist armed gangs of thugs and criminals, who have fallen on Syria like a destructive new flood. These are far more dangerous even than destructive chemical weapons, whose use on our Syrian soil we reject on any pretext whatever.”

Don Pierpaolo Petrucci, the superior of the Italian district of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X refused to participate in Pope Francis’ prayer vigil for peace in Syria. In a press statement he expressed his surprise that the Holy Father excluded Eucharistic Adoration for that day – quote – “in order not to disturb members of other cults.” The superior stated that – quote – “it is not possible to leave Our Lord aside especially in this difficult moment in a vigil that should have been a prayer to the one true God rather than a contribution to diffuse religious relativism.”

L'aggravation de la menace d'une attaque contre la Syrie par les Etats- Unis, qui devrait aboutir à l'implication des grandes puissances du monde , a conduit le pape à organiser une veillée de prière, samedi prochain , pour demander au Seigneur de nous accorder le grand don de la paix .

Ce qui ne laisse pas de nous surprendre c’est  que le pape François semble exclure l'adoration de l'Eucharistie pour  prier ensemble avec les représentants des autres religions afin de ne pas «déranger» les membres des autres cultes. [1]

Nous croyons fermement que la paix ne peut être l'œuvre d' accords entre les hommes en dehors de Jésus-Christ , le Roi des rois et le Prince de la Paix . Il est impossible de  laisser de côté le Seigneur en ce moment extrême dans cette veillée de prière qui devait être dirigée vers le  seul vrai Dieu et qui au contraire contribuera à propager le relativisme religieux . [2]

Jésus a dit dans l'Évangile : «Sans moi vous ne pouvez rien faire» ( Jn 15,5) et encore: « Tout ce que vous demanderez au Père en mon nom, il vous le  donnera . "

Pour cette raison, la Fraternité Saint-Pie X ne sera pas présent sur ​​la Place Saint-Pierre le samedi, mais organisera une heure d'adoration devant le Saint Sacrement exposé dans tous ses prieurés italiens de 21 H 00 à 22 H 00 .

Nous invitons tout le monde à prier pour la réparation et demandons la paix de Celui qui seul peut nous l’accorder  et «non pas comme le monde la donne » (Jean 14:27 ) : le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, près de nous dans l'Hostie consacrée , fera en sorte que  nos cœurs ne craindront  pas et ne seront  pas troublés .

The growing threat of an attack against Syria by the United States, which should lead to the involvement of the great powers of the world, led the Pope to hold a prayer vigil on Saturday, to ask the Lord grant us the great gift of peace.

This does not fail to surprise us is that Pope Francis seems to exclude the adoration of the Eucharist to pray together with representatives of other religions in order not to "disturb" the members of other religions. [1]

We firmly believe that peace can not be the work of agreements between men apart from Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Prince of Peace. It is impossible to ignore the Lord in that extreme moment in this prayer vigil to be led to the one true God and instead contribute to the spread of religious relativism. [2]

Jesus says in the Gospel: "Without me you can do nothing" (Jn 15:5) and again: "Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. "

For this reason, the Society of St. Pius X is not present on the St. Peter's Square on Saturday, but will hold an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in all its Italian priories 21 H 00-22 H 00 .

We invite everyone to pray for the repair and ask for peace from Him who alone can give it to us and "not as the world gives" (John 14:27) The Lord Jesus Christ, about us the consecrated Host, will ensure that our hearts do not fear and do not be troubled.

The city of Ma'loula in Syria, which spoke Our Lord's language of Aramaic, has been attacked by Islamists and completely destroyed - yet politicians and the press barely react.

Syria: The Christian city of Ma’loula falls into jihadist hands

The Christian city of Ma’loula, located approximately 50km [~31 miles] north of Damascus, fell on September 8th into the hands of jihadists, announced the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), based in London, UK. Attacked and overcome by Islamists shouting “Allah Akbar”, ["Allah is great"] the little pocket of Christianity — whose 3000 inhabitants still spoke in Aramaic, Our Lord’s language — no longer exists.

“Islamic rebels have broken into residences and have seized at least six young Greek Catholics. The bodies of butchered inhabitants have been abandoned in the streets as a warning to the residents,” Catholic press agency AsiaNews in Rome wrote on September 9th. The fighting between government militia and jihadists of the Al-Nusra Front has been going on since September 4 and has resulted in numerous casualties already. Islamists, of which some have ties to Al-Queda took control of the town on Sunday, September 8. The inhabitants fled as best they could, fearing reprisals. The Christian community of Ma’loula had been preparing to celebrate the traditional feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14; the majority of residents are Melkite Greek Catholics.

The Islamists proceeded to profane the churches of Ma’loula, destroying crosses and statues of Our Lady. The cross that crowned the cupola of the monastery of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus no longer exists; the churches of St. Leontius and Sts. Cosmas and Damian were affected. Hundreds of refugees have sought shelter in parishes of Damascus, but food supplies are running low. “These people are traumatized; entire families have had to abandon everything they had in Ma’loula, where they spent their whole lives. They need not only material goods such as food, water, and beds, but also spiritual help, particularly the elderly, the women and the children,” reported a local source quoted by AsiaNews.

Interviewed by Fides on September 6, Gregory III Laham, patriarch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Damascus, spoke bitterly of what he called the “latest of the innumerable tragedies of this war,” and made an emotional call “to the international community, to the conscience of the entire world, that the little village of Ma’loula be saved.” It is under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Damascus, and “is a very important symbol of Christianity in Syrian history,” he explained.

80% of the population has fled to Damascus in a state of terror. Tomorrow, on September 7, we will live the Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace in Syria, proclaimed by the Pope, in our cathedral of the Assumption in Damascus. We thank Pope Francis for this initiative, which is pricking the world’s conscience, indifferent as it has been for far too long.

The Melkite patriarch launched an appeal to the world leaders gathered in St. Petersburg for the G20:

We are crying out to the conscience of the leaders of the G20, gathered now in Russia, who are sinking in contradictions, quarrels and self-interested conflicts. (…) Village by village, Syria is going up in flames, destroyed by armed militants without faces or identities, but capable of terrorism, homicide and crimes. Now it is Ma’loula’s turn, an oasis of peace where Christians and Muslims lived in safety. Ma’loula is subject to looting, murders, massacres, Ma’loula, historic Syrian town, land where they speak in the tongue of Christ, town of churches, monasteries and shrines: why has it been under siege for months? What has been Ma’loula’s crime?

On Saturday, September 7, appointed a day of fast and prayer for peace in Syria, in the Middle East and the Far East as well as throughout the world, over 7,000 people assembled on St. Peter’s Square in Rome for the prayer vigil presided over by the Pope. Confessions began under the colonnades at 5:45 p.m. with about fifty priests. The Pope recommended that the day begin with confession, for true peace comes from hearts reconciled to God and their neighbors. The vigil began at 7 p.m. with the Veni Creator and the carrying of the icon of the Salus Populi Romani to the square by the Swiss Guard. The Holy Father led the Rosary, and the mysteries were accompanied by a reading of a poem by St. Therese of the Child Jesus to Mary, Queen of Peace. A pontifical address followed and then adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, during which the 20th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John was read. The vigil concluded with Benediction and half an hour of silent meditation.
