- "The Church understands marriage as a unique relationship, with a unique definition. It’s a faithful covenant between one man and one woman for life. By its very nature, marriage is ordered not only to companionship and mutual support, but also – and even more fundamentally – to the procreation and education of children. This is why every child deserves a family where the father loves the mother, and the mother loves the father. For anyone to attempt to redefine marriage or the family as something else undermines that goal. Thus it’s vital that the Church keep working to defend the integrity of marriage. For this reason, I support the Marriage March that will take place in Washington, D.C., on June 17, 2017. For more information, please contact the Office for Life and Family or visit https://www.marriagemarch.org/. Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.Archbishop of Philadelphia"

In 1263, "a German priest, Fr. Peter of Prague,
stopped in Bolsena, Italy during a pilgrimage to Rome. The priest is
described as having been pious, but found it difficult to believe in the
real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. During his stay, the
priest was saying Mass in the Church of St. Christina in Bolsena, and
had just finished the words of consecration when blood began to seep
from the Host onto the altar and corporal....Fr. Peter
immediately journeyed to Orvieto where Pope Urban VI was residing at
the time, and informed the pontiff of what had just occurred. After
hearing the priest’s account, the pontiff absolved the priest for his
disbelief and had the host and blood-stained corporal brought to the
Cathedral in Orvieto where they are still venerated today, and
instituted the feast of 'Corpus Christi' a year later" (EWTN News, 10/7/13)
