on the "left"? Via a comment at VoxDay - "The long and short of it, OWS was initially a movement about getting justice against those who were perceived directly responsible for the 2009 recession. It didn't take long for it to get hijacked by every liberal under the sun to be about any and all issues concerning the far left wing, including those concerned with allegations of societal sexism/racism and every other ism under the sun. Given that the people who started OWS were predominantly white and predominantly male (though not exclusively), they were ousted from their positions as the movement grew too large to control by social justice extremists through the form of "progressive stack", a type of moderation of discussion that ensures people with too much "privilege" are given less say."

With what credentials did John Paul II and Benedict XVI travel to other countries? As head of state for the Vatican City? No doubt Francis will do the same, and it is said that Benedict XVI also kept his German passport. Therefore, one should not see the renewal of his passport as a repudiation of the sovereign status of Vatican City. Still, if the pope were to renounce his political independence, should he not then be a citizen of Rome or the Italian state, if he is bishop of Rome? Where should his political loyalties be? To another polity or state or people? The pope, like all Christians, should love all, but if we hold to the order of charity, his political community would have priority over other political communities.

Edit. There is a "second-hand" report circulating that Pope Francis did indeed express his desire to travel using his Argentinian passport: BERGOGLIO, Jorge Mario. Is the source reliable? If so, does Pope Francis intend to do so and not use his official credentials as the head of Vatican City at all? Does Francis's decision, then, differ from what Benedict did? (I have not found "official" confirmation that Benedict XVI retrained his German passport but did not use it; this "fact" was repeated by various people on posts about Francis's renewal of his Argentinian passport.)

NLM: Do We Pray for "the Dead" or for "the Faithful Departed"? by Peter Kwasniewski

We should not water down the English translations of the Latin of the editio typica, but should we also add prayers for God's mercy on those who did not die as baptized Christians? Or do we need a separate day for them? You can read the objections to the narrow definition of who is to be reckoned among the faithful in the combox to the article.
