On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I recall the article from the now defunct satire website, The Eye of the Tiber, from a few years ago: "According to the Catholic Information Service, those 12 included one woman, a Muslim, a pet ferret named Wilbur, and a double amputee."

Canadian Miriam Lancaster, 84, went to a hospital in Vancouver late March with severe back pain. She told EWTN that before any tests or diagnosis, a doctor offered assisted suicide: “The very first thing she said to me was: ‘I would like to offer you MAiD.’” She had come for treatment and responded: “No, thank you.” Lancaster added that her husband had previously been told the same and had replied: “There is no way that we are going to take measures to end our life. That is in the hands of the Lord.” A few years later she gave the same response.
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Paola Fanelli on April 1 as Director of the Directorate for Personnel of the Holy See, a role within the Secretariat for the Economy. She takes over responsibility for personnel policy across Vatican dicasteries. There is no public record of her expressing views on Catholic teaching. She brings a background in organizational change and human resources. Her institutional background is rooted within BNL BNP Paribas (banking). Notably, she took part, as a BNL representative, in a closed-door think tank in 2018 organized by UNICEF Italy. Fanelli's position has, because of its unique weight, a somewhat unusual history. On March 6, 2020, the Holy See Press Office announced that such an office had been established, in a reform effort backed by Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich. But the next day, the same office clarified that it remained merely a proposal under consideration. The idea stalled at the time, amid internal resistance and broader reform turbulence. With …Daplü
