Vatican City, May 11, 2021 / 06:00 am (CNA).
The Vatican has corrected a problem on its website that meant it displayed at least two different editions of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in English.
When using an online search engine, internet users could land on two different editions of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in English, one of which was an earlier edition.
Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, told CNA last week that “it is one of those cases where the system updates are incompletely coordinated, so one page had the older version and the other the more recent one.”

Pope Francis issued an apostolic letter Tuesday formally instituting the new lay ministry of catechist.
The Vatican released the papal letter,
Antiquum ministerium (“Ancient ministry”), on May 11 in eight languages, including Italian Sign Language.
The pope said that the institution of the new lay ministry would “emphasize even more the missionary commitment proper to every baptized person, a commitment that must however be carried out in a fully ‘secular’ manner, avoiding any form of clericalization.”
The letter, issued motu proprio (“on his own impulse”), is dated May 10, the feast of the 16th-century Spanish Doctor of the Church St. John of Avila.

Philippine church bells kick off voter registration campaign
Filipinos are scheduled to go to the polls to choose a new president and vice-president on May 9, 2022.
By Robin Gomes
Bells of Catholic churches across the Philippines rang out simultaneously at midday on Sunday urging the faithful to exercise their right and duty to vote in the next presidential election to be held next year. The bells pealed for 3 minutes exactly a year before the country goes to the polls on May 9, 2022, to elect successors to President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo.
Making voices heard
According to the Philippine Constitution, Duterte is ineligible for re-election after his 6-year term. Church authorities are encouraging churchgoers, especially those who have not yet registered, to make their voices heard through their votes.
