St Januarius Blood Liquefies—and Other Good News From Sept 13-20 2026


Catholic good news is breaking out across the world! This week, 600,000 people registered for Pope Leo XIV’s Mass in secular France, hundreds of thousands renewed their fidelity to Christ and Our Lady in Argentina, and England and Wales defeated another attempt to legalize assisted suicide. We also cover the liquefaction of St. Januarius’s blood in Naples, new priests and deacons ordained in Mozambique, the Korean Church’s compassionate defense of unborn life, Catholic assistance for people with disabilities in Cambodia, St. Bernadette’s relics arriving in Washington, the Vatican’s first potential Oscar contender, and the expansion of the Vatican Apostolic Library and Archives. These are the Catholic stories the mainstream media often overlooks—evidence that the Faith remains alive, charitable and capable of bringing hope to a troubled world.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
