Venues of Pope Leo XIV‘s Apostolic Visit to Spain Will Include the Real Madrid Stadium, the Sanctuary of Montserrat, Parliament and Time with The Spanish Sovereigns

Among the five dioceses that make up the itinerary, Leo XIV will travel approximately 2,500 kilometers during the six days of the trip, from Madrid to Barcelona and from Barcelona to Gran Canary Island and Tenerife. All the stages share three axes: charity, expressed in meetings with social assistance and reception organizations; the Eucharist, which will be the focus of each stage of the itinerary; and encounters with young people, civil society, and local Churches.

USA: Oregon slaps nearly $90K fine on Christian counselor for saying he could not bless same-sex relationships

The Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists fined licensed counselor Frank Canepa $89,636 for answering a client’s repeated demand to personally affirm same-sex relationships. Although Canepa had seen this client for over two and a half years and had never mentioned his personal views on same-sex relationships in at least 44 other sessions in which this topic came up, the client insisted for 20 minutes in one session that Canepa personally bless her same-sex relationship. Canepa eventually told her he could not personally affirm these relationships because of his Catholic faith.
