AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPapal Travel Disruption: Pope Leo XIV’s return from Spain to Rome hit a snag in Tenerife when his Iberia charter couldn’t get an engine to start, forcing passengers to disembark and delaying departure by hours. Royal Backup: Spain’s King Felipe VI stepped in, escorting the pope onto a Falcon jet for the trip home, while the rest of the delegation and journalists were sent on a separate replacement flight. Canary Islands Focus: The delay capped a week centered on migration and humanitarian care, including a final Mass in Tenerife and a stop for West African survivors of the Atlantic crossing. Vatican Travel Tip: A separate travel headache shows how strict entry rules can derail plans—one easyJet passenger was refused boarding over a UK passport issued more than 10 years earlier, costing her £700. Local Church News: In the U.S., the US bishops’ spring plenary in Orlando advanced canonization causes and approved updates to the Lectionary and Roman Missal supplement.
