This is something of which many Americans are not aware. They mistakenly believe that poverty is the major reason why many young men — especially from our inner cities — end up in prison. But it’s not.

Historic Change: New cathedra, more in keeping with grandeur of cathedral, installed |
|
|
|
By RICK SNIZEK, Executive Editor, Rhode Island Catholic
PROVIDENCE — Since 1972, the same wooden cathedra has served as the seat of each bishop’s teaching authority in the Diocese of Providence.
But this Sunday, June 19, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, that 50-year tradition will change when Bishop Thomas J. Tobin blesses a newly installed marble cathedra at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul that will henceforth serve as the symbol of a bishop’s role as shepherd of all Catholics in the diocese.

The Seventh Bishop of Providence: Bishop Robert E. Mulvee

By RICK SNIZEK, Executive Editor, RI Catholic
As the Diocese of Providence celebrates its 150th anniversary through June 26, 2022, Rhode Island Catholic is featuring profiles of the men who have served as diocesan shepherds through its history.
When Bishop Kenneth A. Angell, D.D., after serving for 18 years as Bishop Louis E. Gelineau’s auxiliary in the Diocese of Providence, was appointed to lead the Diocese of Burlington, Vermont in 1992, Bishop Gelineau suddenly found himself without assistance at a time when he needed help more than ever. The arthritis he long had endured worsened to the point that he required knee replacement surgery.
It took three years for help to arrive, but in 1995, Pope John Paul II approved Bishop Gelineau’s request for a coadjutor bishop – one who assists him in his duties until his retirement or death, with the right of succession.

Eucharistic processions on feast of Corpus Christi will launch revival |
|
|
|
By Gabriella Patti, Catholic News Service
DETROIT (CNS) — Belief in the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist is waning among professed Catholics, and the U.S. bishops are trying to do something about it.
According to a 2019 Pew Research Center study, roughly two-thirds of U.S. Catholics do not believe that the bread and wine at Mass become Christ’s body and blood during the consecration — a core dogma of the Catholic faith and the “source and summit” of the church’s life, according to the catechism.
