Rorate Caeli

News notes

1. The International Una Voce Federation has posted a report on Cardinal Mayer; a Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the Cardinal in the Vatican Basilica was arranged by Una Voce.

2. The "Agenda" moves forward in Latin America: the Chamber of Deputies of the Argentine Republic approved a bill yesterday extending the civil concept of marriage to same-sex "couples" - the first national legislature in Latin America to do so. The matter now moves to the Senate.

The Episcopal Conference naturally remained almost silent during the entire process, issuing mere halfhearted statements.
