In 1263, Father Peter "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...the pontiff...had the host and blood-stained corporal brought to the Cathedral in Orvieto [The above photo is from a 2015 pilgrimage to Orvieto.] where they are still venerated today, and instituted the feast of 'Corpus Christi' a year later" (CNA, 10/7/13)

• "The last several decades have been frustrating for traditional-minded pro-life Catholics. Whenever legislators and legislation threatened the moral law, the American bishops were inclined to sponsor various prayer initiatives. Prayer became like a government program as bishops disguised their dereliction of duty in disciplining pro-abortion Catholic politicians by calling for more public devotion and more dialogue.... A courageous celibate provides doctrinal air cover for Catholic troops on the ground. Clergy who fail to use their celibacy for the fearless proclamation of the Gospel become selfish comfortable bachelors” (Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, 5/23/22).
