Although its plot centers on a family of friendly witches, the romantic drama “Practical Magic 2” involves no advocacy for the dark arts. They simply exist as part of the fanciful premise. Instead, the film’s appeal, like that of its 1998 predecessor, is meant to lie in its portrayal of strong female bonding amid adversity.

While France's Lourdes shrine moves to cover mosaics by Father Marko Rupnik, Brazil's National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida in São Paulo celebrated new installations by the artist, who faces decades of allegations of sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse.
The celebration on Sept. 12 included music, prayers, biblical dramatizations and fireworks.
The installation, which surrounds the entire basilica, is credited to the Centro Aletti, the art studio founded by Father Rupnik, whose canonical trial is still under review by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
In this video, posted by TV Aparecida on Sept. 1, Redemptorist fathers who administer the shrine, place some last stones in the western - and last - facade, inaugurated Sept. 12.
As one of the prelates placed a stone at the beginning of this fragment of the video, a person standing next to him and giving instructions can be seen wearing a construction hat with the initials "MIR," and bearing a strong physical resemblance to Father (Marko) Rupnik, whose middle name is Ivan. We can't see his face, as he is hidden behind the friar.
@OSVNews' @jae_journalist reached out to the shrine's communications office Sept. 17 to confirm whether the person was Father Rupnik, since the initials matched his full name. The office was also asked what guided its decision to allow the priest to continue despite pleas from alleged victims and his ongoing canonical trial.
OSV News is awaiting a response from the shrine.
The Sept. 12 ceremony featured a blessings from retired Archbishop Orlando Brandes of Aparecida, who is also present in the video below, standing behind a person that may be Father Rupnik.

Exactly one week from today, Venerable Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified in St. Louis, marking a historic moment for the Catholic Church in the United States. Not only is Sheen the first television host to be formally recognized by the Church as “blessed,” but he also will become the first American-born bishop to be beatified.
For many of the nation’s bishops, however, Sheen’s beatification is about more than historical firsts. In interviews with OSV News, several bishops described a man whose influence as an evangelist and communicator flowed from a deeply rooted life of prayer and sacrifice — and whose example remains relevant to the Church’s mission today.
