By Catholic Register EditorialHere we go again. Development and Peace, an organization created by CanadaöÏÓãÊÓƵapp bishops, is back on the hot seat over allegations it failed to properly screen some overseas partners. At least 11 dioceses have withheld funds from the organization after suggestions that several of its partner agencies are offside on issues that include abortion, contraception and gender theory.

His biography cites a fondness for luxury, penchant for nepotism and persecution of Galileo, but also lauds his completion of St. PeteröÏÓãÊÓƵapp Basilica, contributions to education and the arts, encouragement of New World missionaries and the canonization St. Charles Borromeo.
