I was delighted with the opening address of our new apostolic nuncio, Archbishop Caccia, at the recent bishops’ meeting. He didn’t scold or correct us, but rather expressed his esteem for the American church, going so far as to cite Tocqueville’s prediction that America might one day become “the core of Catholicism.” But what was most impressive in his address was his insistence, very much under the inspiration of Pope Leo, that we should return to the documents of Vatican II.
And to show precisely which of those documents he felt was most important, he made a gift to each of us: a booklet containing “Lumen Gentium” and “Dei Verbum.” That choice is quite instructive. “Lumen Gentium,” the great document on the Church teaches clearly that the essential structures of Catholicism—priesthood, episcopacy, sacraments, the Mass, etc.—are not man-made or culturally relative but rather given to us by God. Moreover, it teaches that the Church has a singular mission: to bring the light of Christ (the “Lumen”) to the nations (the “Gentes”). Its very nature, as St. Pope Paul VI put it, is missionary. The Church, accordingly, is not one participant among many in a never-ending dialogue with various conversation partners, not, as Cardinal George used to say, “a debating society.” It engages the culture to be sure, but precisely as the confident proclaimer of a message. And “Dei Verbum,” the apostolic constitution on revelation, declares that authentic Christianity is not a philosophy or a set of convictions grounded in experience, but rather the fruit of the revelation offered through God’s word. This holds off the most stubborn heresy in history, namely, Gnosticism, which manifests itself in multiple forms today.
For years, I have been urging a thoughtful return to the documents of Vatican II. This will hold off, I’ve argued, both a radical traditionalism, which sees Vatican II as fatally flawed, and a Catholic progressivism which entertains fantasies about a Church “beyond” the formulations of the Council. Again, I’m overjoyed that Pope Leo and our new nuncio seem to hold to the same conviction.

Today, during the @USCCB Plenary Assembly in the @OrlandoDiocese, we gathered before Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist for a Holy Hour of prayer and adoration. I was deeply humbled and honored to preside over this sacred time of prayer alongside my brother bishops from across our nation.
During the Holy Hour, I remembered in a special way the faithful of our beloved @DiocesePB and entrusted all of you to the loving Heart of Jesus.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

Tuve el alto honor y la inmensa alegría de unirme ayer a la comunidad de mi parroquia natal en #Moca, en el Santuario del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, para conmemorar el 70.º aniversario de este Santuario, en el contexto de la novena de las fiestas patronales de la parroquia.
Durante la misma celebración procedimos al traslado de las cenizas del Rev. P. Antonio Flores, S.D.B. (1904-1996), sacerdote salesiano oriundo de Guadalajara, México, al referido Santuario. El Padre Flores encabezó la recaudación de fondos y la construcción de este querido templo, que fue bendecido y dedicado el 8 de junio de 1956. El Padre Flores fue sobre todo el gran promotor de la devocion al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús en Moca y alrededores. Un pastor visionario e intrepido que implemento en su praxis pastoral con decadas de anticipacion muchas de las posturas del Concilio Vaticano II.
Sus restos descansan ahora en la más formidable de sus realizaciones, como signo de profundo respeto y gratitud del pueblo de Moca por su extraordinario y fecundo ministerio entre nosotros durante los difíciles años de 1945 a 1961, cuando la República Dominicana vivía bajo una dictadura violenta y opresiva. En aquellos años, el Santuario se convirtió en un signo de sanación y esperanza, no solo para Moca, sino para todo el pueblo dominicano.
Mi más sincero agradecimiento al actual Superior de la Comunidad Salesiana de Moca, el Rev. P. Jorge Santiago, S.D.B., por haberme brindado esta magnífica oportunidad. Extiendo también mi gratitud al P. Manuel y al P. Antonio, quienes trajeron las cenizas del P. Flores desde México en representación de los Salesianos de Guadalajara. Finalmente, gracias de corazón a todos mis queridos mocanos que participaron en tan gran número de la celebración de ayer.
¡Que viva el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús!
¡Que viva Moca!

“Praying keeps me young,” he said.
May the blessed Mary, the saints and all the angels receive him as he enters the gates of Heaven. Amen.
In late February, Pope Leo XIV thanked Father Bruno Kant of the Diocese of Fulda in Germany for his “many years of faithful and devoted priestly service.” Kant, the oldest priest in the world at 110 years of age, passed away on the night of Friday, May 29. He had been a priest since 1950.
In an article published on his dioceseʼs website, Bishop Michael Gerber of Fulda recalled that "just a few months ago" he had "the privilege of conveying Pope Leo XIVʼs blessing to Father Bruno Kant on the occasion of his 110th birthday."
"My encounter with him left a deep impression on me. Even at his advanced age, he radiated the humility, kindness, and spiritual depth that characterized his entire priestly life. The Diocese of Fulda remembers his work and service with great gratitude," he added.
Father Guido Pasanow of the parish in Eichenzell-Löschenrod, where Kant lived until his death, said that with the priest’s death, the parish “loses a person who was fundamental to it for many years.”
“Even after retiring from active ministry, he remained a confidant, pastor, and spiritual guide deeply cherished by many parishioners. We are grateful for all that he contributed to our community,” he added.
As reported by the Catholic news outlet katholisch in November 2025, Kant, born near Danzig in what is now Poland, had aspired to become a priest since the age of 9. He was able to begin his theological studies, but the Nazi regime thwarted his plans by conscripting him for forced labor and making him a soldier.
Kant spent four years as a prisoner of war in Russia before reuniting with his family, who had fled to the West.
He was finally ordained a priest in 1950. After decades of priestly service, he considerably curtailed his activities. He stopped driving at the age of 102, according to a report published on katholisch.de in November.
“Over the last few years, he has refrained from celebrating holy Mass with the congregation on Wednesday evenings. However, he continued visiting the sick for as long as he was able. Now, that is no longer possible for him.”
On that occasion, Kant said: “I expect to die every day. I am not far from it.” In his final years, he spent his days solving Sudokus, watching television, reading newspapers, and, of course, praying.
“Praying keeps me young,” he said.
