The search for tranquillity and meditation. This is what has driven monks and hermits since the 9th century to the Abbey of San Benedetto on Mount Subasio, a few kilometres from Assisi in central Italy. Restored several times after the terrible earthquake that struck central Italy in 1997, today it is run by Benedictine nuns who have entrusted its custody to its sole inhabitant: Albero Cisco.

Have you heard of the Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan? He’s the one behind the infamous “Comedian” - the ripe banana duct-taped to a wall - which was eaten by a South Korean student with an urgent hankering for protein during an exhibition. Ring a bell? He’s also the artistic mind who came up with “Him” (2001), a sculpture of a genuflecting Adolf Hitler. What about now? Surely you've heard of “America” (2016), the brilliantly satirical piece consisting of a fully functioning 18-carat gold toilet which would have shrunken Marcel Duchamp’s underwear - and which was stolen by naughty ...

The priests concerned made the remarks earlier this month in an episode of a YouTube program called "The Sacristy of the Vendée: A counter-revolutionary priestly gathering". One of them opened the episode by saying: "I also pray a lot for the Pope, so that he can go to heaven as soon as possible." As the conversation progressed, another priest later expressed support for the other's statement – and the six Spanis...

Retired Pope Benedict is “very sick,” according to Pope Francis, but remains stable. Pope Francis asked for prayers for the 95-year-old former pope at the Vatican on Wednesday. “I want to ask you all for a special prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict who sustains the Church in his silence.

The move came as a shock to many as popes do not normally retire and none had not done so in around 600 years. At the time, he ...

At a recent news conference, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended President Joe Biden‘s faith when asked about the latest rebuke from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
