Armed Priest Arrested in The Vatican & Vatican To Publish New Document On Marian Apparitions

This week's Vaticano Update reveals plans for the first Vatican hospital outside Italy, "Bambino Gesù," to be built near Cairo, Egypt, alongside a notable incident where an armed Czech priest was arrested attempting to enter St. Peter’s Square. Additionally, the Archdiocese of Naples reported the miraculous liquefaction of St. Januarius' blood, Pope Francis emphasized continuous vocational formation in his May prayer intention, and new norms on Marian apparitions will soon be published by the Vatican, updating the guidelines set in 1978.
