JMJ
So there is quite a lot of noise this past month with the publication of Fiducia Supplicans. Suffice to say that this is the Fruit of Vatican II, but deserved its own category this month.
The Spirit of the Second Vatican Council continues to disappoint with the confusion and outright audacity of the Pope and Clergy.
I will add commentary and note any updates as time allows.

Persecution of Catholics
Update 1: It is not new that persecution follows people who believe what the Catholic Church Teaches - As the Catholic Church Understands the Teachings. Bloody, economic and social persecutions have been going on for thousands of years. So as the Western World moves away from its Christian (i.e. Catholic) foundation, it will turn upon it creating a frenzy.
Were it just the World, it would be one thing, but since the Second Vatican Council, there has been a steady and continuous persecution of Catholics, by Catholics.
Why?
Simply because we wouldn't give in to the marriage of the Church and the World. (St. Thomas More).

Update 1: This could have been listed as a fruit of the Second Vatican Council, but it has garnered such a response that it calls for its own section. As with the Western Worlds rejection of Christian principles and morality, it was unavoidable that there would be pressure for the Catholic Church to change its teaching on so many topics.
These include Married Priests, Woman Priests (i.e. Priestesses), Communion for those living in a sinful state. Amoris Laetitia, was a precursor to this latest change, the blessing of same-sex couples.
I'm not certain what exactly it being blessed. A Catholic Church cannot condone sinful acts, even through God does love the Sinners as well as the Just. No matter what twisted logic is put forward in Fiducia Supplicans, this will be and has been seen as the Church condoning same-sex couples.
But ... God can draw good from evil.
A direct result is that a number of bishops had woken up from their slumber.
This latest act, taken in with the series of acts of this pontificat, cannot but help to have an impact on the next conclave.

- Update 1:The war in Israel continues its pace. The debates in the United Nations are interesting as Hamas demonstrates the efficacy of social media to manipulate public opinion. I can't help but think that for some reason people ignore or are ignorant the constant missile fire are disconnected from reality.
- The next thing is that Church Militant's "chickens have come home to roost". The result of their vendetta seems to have kicked the wrong person,who has filed suit and coupled with Michael's departure it seems that CMTV is not long for the world. From my point of view, I wonder how much good they have done vs the bad.
