Catholic Register Editorial

Pope Leo has assumed the Petrine ministry as old ecclesial divisions have reared up anew and as heightened polarization has weakened the Church's unity and mission.

If The Catholic Register were written by nattering nit pickers of negativism, we would find two unfortunate things to say about Cardinal Leo’s recent meditation about June being dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Pope Leo has committed to an AI-aware papacy. As our media expert columnist, Sr. Helena Burns, writes in this issue, nothing could be more timely or essential. Sr. Burns also has some vital advice for ways to avoid as much as possible AI scams on the Internet.

Our Holy Mother the Church has once again proven, as if proof were needed, that the “rates of yell” will not prevail against her.

Catholics globally are understandably infuriated at U.S. President Donald Trump for laughing off a disgraceful AI-generated image of himself as the Pope.

Prior to Election Night, few Canadians would have identified Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre as an embodiment of Catholic charity.

How fitting – how Francis! – that the Holy Father’s final day on earth was spent in part meeting with U.S. Vice-President JD Vance to press the case for Christian charity toward migrants and refugees.
