In a move that underscores the Vatican’s stated commitment to transparency and justice in the face of clerical abuse allegations, the Holy See has formally constituted a canonical tribunal to adjudicate the case of Marko Rupnik, the former Jesuit priest and internationally known artist accused of serial abuse of religious sisters. The announcement was made on July 3 by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. In statements to the press following a press conference at the Vatican during which the new Mass form “for the care of creation” was presented, Fernández confirmed that the tribunal will be composed entirely of judges “independent and external” to the dicastery he oversees.

On the eve of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama announced that the Gaden Phodrang Trust will recognise his next reincarnation. Religious tradition will thus be respected while China will be excluded from any role. However, Beijing immediately responded by claiming control over the process. This heralds a future with two Dalai Lamas and a major legitimacy crisis that could turn into a wider geopolitical confrontation.

As the Sisters explain, beyond the numbers, there is a face cared for, and each process initiated with a woman is also a story of dignity, justice, and hope.

Crossroads of the Nations Japanese Ministry (Brentwood, TN 37027)
We are a multi-cultural and multi-congregations church worshiping God in multiple languages. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church In America (PCA). We are blessed that God would give us each other to experience Him through the richness of cultural diversity. Most of the Japanese in Middle Tennessee are here temporarily as business families or researchers. Our vision and goal is to help them see the unconditional love of Christ and hear His living Word. We are here to help their felt needs such as improving English, being a friend, and helping them to adjust. In our time together we also share the Word of God. Our prayer is for their salvation and know we can be a part of their journey if the Lord so grants. It would be great if they join the afternoon Japanese/English Sunday services to familiarize themselves with worship and fellowship. This would make it easier for them to pursue the same in Japan when they return. We can refer them to fellowships in Japan.
