The controversy over blessing gay couples is just another example of synodality at work, according to Sr. Nathalie Becquart.

After the publication of "Laudato Si'," rumors circulated that Pope Francis had personally asked Leonardo Boff for his input on the writing of the encyclical. It marked an ironic turn in the theologian's long career.

For the second time in less than a week, a Chinese bishop was ordained with the approval of both Pope Francis and the Chinese government.

Pope Francis sought to clarify the declaration on blessings of couples in “irregular situations” in his address today to the plenary assembly of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In just three months at the helm of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Argentine Cardinal Victor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández has rapidly changed what was once the Vatican’s most formidable department.

Friar Paolo Benanti is the Vatican's go-to person on A.I. technology, and he has the ear of Pope Francis as well as some of Silicon Valley's top engineers and executives.
