POPE LEO GREETS 30,000 ‘MARCH FOR LIFE’ PARTICIPANTS IN SLOVAKIA | SG News Around 30,000 people gathered in Bratislava on September 20 for Slovakia’s fifth National March for Life, bringing families, young people and pro-life advocates into the capital’s Freedom Square. The gathering took place under the patronage of the Slovak Bishops’ Conference and focused on the dignity of every human life, support for women and families in difficult circumstances, and opposition to surrogacy. Pope Leo XIV sent a special message to participants. His words were read by Archbishop Nicola Girasoli, Apostolic Nuncio to Slovakia. The Pope expressed his hope that the march would become a moment of prayer and public witness, awakening a renewed awareness that human life is a precious gift received from God. He called on society to welcome and protect life at every stage: From conception to natural death. Pope Leo also urged Catholics and society as a whole to build a culture capable of caring especially …Ētahi atu
Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich described (the Church’s two millennia of belief) the process of synodality initiated by Pope Francis as “irreversible.” At the same time, referring to the Church in Europe, Cardinal Hollerich told Kurier.at that this “process of decline is also a process of healing.”
Decline is destruction, which leads to death. Healing is growth, with strength and endurance, which produces good health, both spiritually and physically.
The YARN British police questioned a Christian street preacher after complaints that his Bible sermon was racist and homophobic, despite admitting they had not heard it and could not identify the offending words. He denied the claims, produced his own recording and was neither arrested nor charged in the exchange. Officers repeatedly suggested that a listener feeling harassed, alarmed or distressed could establish a public-order offence. It cannot. Section 5 of the Public Order Act requires threatening or abusive conduct likely to cause that result. Section 4A also requires intent. A complainant’s perception may trigger a hate-related police record, but it cannot create an underlying crime. Britain’s Court of Appeal exposed this danger in the Harry Miller case, finding that police guidance on non-crime hate incidents unlawfully chilled freedom of expression. Sections 29J and 29JA separately protect criticism and expressions of antipathy towards religions, beliefs and sexual conduct from …Ētahi atu
Opus Dei has rejected claims that it took the historic Virgin of Torreciudad in Spain without permission. The Diocese of Barbastro-Monzón owns the statue, but Opus Dei says agreements from 1962 and 1966 allowed it to care for the image and move it to the new Torreciudad church. It has remained there since 1975. Bishop Ángel Pérez Pueyo wants the statue returned to the old hermitage. Opus Dei says a 1966 notarial document shows that the move was authorized. The old hermitage and the new church are only a few metres apart at the same Torreciudad site. What began as a legal disagreement over old agreements and the statue’s location has developed into an increasingly bitter and personal Church dispute.
It's been said by many that Trump has something big coming. They said, it's not good either. When I read this I felt I knew why he was doing it. When he said he was going to nuke Russia he was not kidding. Just like the other day he said, he was going to wipe out Iranian people. AGAIN! So why not build two more military bases close to Russia? Just crawling closer and closer to Russia. An easy target. usnews.com/…en-two-new-military-bases-in-greenlan… Distance from Greenland to Russia is 5,017 kilometers. This air travel distance is equal to 3,117 miles.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has lashed out at the results of Russia’s parliamentary election, dismissing it as a “veneer of democracy.” The senior EU official, a noted Russia hawk who was appointed, not elected, to her post in 2024, made no mention of the 1,600 drones Ukraine launched into Russia during the vote. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to the election criticism by mocking Kallas’s earlier call for EU states not to recognize the Russian results, saying that “EU countries had stopped recognizing Kallas herself a long time ago.”
Another thing that might disappear is all the freedom journalist have in Russia. ‘I feel more free’ reporting in Russia – Rick … Video is included in article. As you can see at the bottom of this post, it says The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of RT. Which proves they have much more freedom in Russia than the US. Rick Sanchez once said, he does not have anyone forcing him to write anything or looking over his shoulders at what he was preparing. I would think that this is more than enough proof including the many posts I have put up. Why Russia’s election results left Western media …
A bakery in Chiclayo, Peru, has launched “Dulce Bendición,” a Pope-shaped version of King Kong. This local dessert is made from layers of biscuit and manjar blanco, a milk-caramel filling. The first 500, shaped like Pope Leo XIV, sold out on launch day. The bakery plans to make up to 1,000 a day in November, when Leo XIV visits Peru.

After more than four centuries, the Dominicans have left the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Las Caldas de Besaya in Cantabria, Spain. Last Sunday, the Dominicans formally entrusted the sanctuary to the Diocese of Santander. The church will remain a place of worship. The property continues to belong to the Dominicans. But the resident Dominican community - once one of the Order’s important houses in Spain - has come to an end. The scale of the change is captured by Fr. Francisco García Ortega OP, the last superior of the community. He entered the Dominican Order at Las Caldas 55 years ago, aged 17. At the time, the sanctuary housed Dominican philosophical studies. “We were more than 200 friars, and now we are only two,” García Ortega told DiocesisDeSantander.com. Those two are García Ortega and Fr. Fernando Serrano Pérez OP, who has served at Las Caldas for about 30 years. The Dominicans first came to Las Caldas in the early 17th century. Fr García Ortega noted that during four centuries …Ētahi atu

Vatican concludes “reflection process” with bi-ritual congregation SJM. The Vatican has formally concluded a multi-year reflection process involving the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM), a Catholic religious congregation in Austria, founded in 1988. The community celebrates both the Novus Ordo and the traditional Roman rite. It remains closely associated with the Catholic Scouts of Europe (KPE). The Vatican’s process began in late 2022, when it appointed former abbot Raimund Schreier as Apostolic Assistant. His task was to “accompany” the SJM for a period originally planned to last three years. The community examined its history, internal structures, self-understanding and its founder, former Jesuit Andreas Hönisch. In June, the community and the Apostolic Assistant submitted the relevant documents to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Religious. It has now declared the process concluded. According to the SJM, the dicastery encouraged the congregation to: - “continue promoting an open culture …Ētahi atu

So sieht die Antenne für den Empfang des Signals aus, das die Rasswet Satelliten senden. Bald bei vielen in Russland zu sehen. Der Selenskij Berater Beskrestnow befürchtet, dass Russland unerwartet schnell die Gruppe von Satelliten "Rasswet" entfalten könnte, was zu einem grossen Problem für die AFU wird, weil dieses System eine Steuerung von Drohnen und Raketen online erlaubt. "Russland ist eine Weltraum-Nation und es kann sein, dass eine Angara-Rakete (russischer Weltraumfrachter mit 25 Tonnen Nutzlast) mit nur einem Start "ganz unerwartet" die Hälfte der Satelliten Gruppe "Rasswet " in die Umlaufbahn bringen kann. Anm.d.Red. Obwohl sich Russland bedeckt hält, liegt der Schluss nahe, dass die spürbar gestiegene Effektivität und Zielgenauigkeit der Angriffe im tiefen ukrainischen Hinterland auf das bereits teilweise entfaltete "Rasswet" System zurückzuführen sind.

Church decline: Scottish bishops present plans to merge dioceses. The bishops of Scotland have presented on Monday seven options for a possible reduction in the number of dioceses. The Vatican had asked the bishops to review the diocesan structure in light of declining clergy numbers and diminishing resources. The bishops, however, say the process is “about how we can better proclaim the Gospel” and “strengthen our parishes and communities for evangelisation”. Six options envisage mergers: five would each merge two dioceses, while one would bring together three. The seventh option would retain Scotland’s current eight dioceses but provide for greater cooperation and mutual support. The eight dioceses are currently divided between the ecclesiastical provinces of Glasgow and St Andrews and Edinburgh. The proposed mergers are Argyll and the Isles with Paisley; Argyll and the Isles with Glasgow; Paisley with Galloway; Galloway with Motherwell; and St Andrews and Edinburgh with Dunkeld. A …Ētahi atu
