Welcome to Starting 7, The Pillar’s new daily newsletter.
I’m Luke Coppen and I seek to guide you each weekday morning to the most interesting Catholic news and comment.
Today’s feast: St. Anthony Mary Claret.
Today’s readings: Eph 4:32–5:8 ▪ Ps 1:1-2, 3, 4 & 6 ▪ Lk 13:10-17.
Starting seven
1: French President Emmanuel Macron met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday, the day after addressing a Sant’Egidio Community peace conference (French report).
2: Australian Archbishop Julian Porteous has saidthat a dispute over a Scripture reading on marriage at a girls’ school graduation Mass suggests society is becoming “increasingly hostile to Christian beliefs.”
3: Bishop Dominique Blanchet has asked Catholics in his Diocese of Créteil to forgive his “errors of judgment” concerning his predecessor Bishop Michel Santier (French statement).
4: Questions have been raised about the abortion stances of two more members of the Pontifical Academy for Life: Roberto Dell’Oro and Sheila Tlou (FIAMC statement, Elise Ann Allen report, Phil Lawler comment).
5: Italian bishops’ conference president Cardinal Matteo Zuppi has promised “constructive dialogue” in a congratulatory message to new Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (Italian full text).
6: Andrea Gagliarducci says Pope Francis’ “permanent synod” seems to be an ecumenical council “in disguise.”
