Thursday afternoon quick news updates

Three quick updates on stories AmP has been following recently:

• Talks continue between Vatican, SSPX - Vatican, Sep. 21 - The Vatican is continuing talks with the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), still hoping to achieve reconciliation with the Lefebvrist group, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos has revealed. The prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, who has been the Vatican's chief contact in talks with the SSPX since 2000, told the I Media news agency that talks with the group are proceeding normally, unaffected by the creation of a new institute for traditionalist clerics in France.
• Burial in Kenya for nun killed in Somalia - Sister Leonella Sgorbita, the nun who was shot dead in Somalia on September 17, was laid to rest in Nazareth Hospital Cemetery near Nairobi, Kenya, according to her wish.
• Indonesia: execution delayed; condemned men denied sacraments - Authorities in Indonesia have denied three Catholic men the right to attend Mass on the day before their execution, the AsiaNews service reports. Fabianus Tibo, Marinus Riwu and Dominggus da Silva were scheduled to face a firing squad on September 21, but their execution was postponed-- apparently just for a day. Prison officials refused to allow a priest to hear the men's confessions and celebrate Mass for them one last time on Thursday. The officials' decision-- along with an accompanying decision that the bodies of the three men cannot lie in state in the Paul cathedral-- appears to violate Indonesian law, which stipulates that a prisoner's last wishes should be granted before execution. [Even more injustices it seems ... AsiaNews has more... "No Muslim has ever been convicted in connection with the religious warfare in Sulawesi." ]
