AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Lay Preaching Dispute: German Bishop Peter Kohlgraf says the Vatican’s ban on lay homilies is “not entirely consistent,” and he won’t impose sanctions in Mainz even as he keeps the diocese officially observing the rule. Religious Life Leadership: LCWR president Sr. Vicky Larson tells U.S. sisters to lead through “synodal listening,” comparing religious life to a symphony of many charisms. World Day of Peace 2027: The Vatican announces Pope Leo XIV’s message will focus on “disarming technology,” stressing political responsibility and the risks of delegating war decisions to AI. Papal Travel Logistics: Air France will fly Pope Leo XIV during his September state visit to France, with Vatican branding on the aircraft and major stops including UNESCO, Lourdes and Metz. Art and AI: The Holy See unveils a new global art triennial, “Exercises in Empathy,” linking contemporary creativity to Pope Leo’s AI encyclical. Pastoral Trip Schedule: Vatican publishes Pope Leo XIV’s August 22 programme for San Marino and Rimini, including a stop at the Communion and Liberation “Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples.” Church in the Holy Land: A priest in Taybeh warns the village “must not vanish into silence” amid repeated Israeli settler incursions and harassment. Historical Letter Twist: A lost papal letter in Vatican archives is said to suggest Rome may have backed William of Normandy partly because England supported an antipope.
