The victims stated that their mother had known the priest since before their birth, reinforcing the relationship of trust. Following a complaint by one of the brothers, French authorities opened a …Күбрәк

But who listens to the women who gave birth ? ➤ Christian, a woman from the United States, accepted to carry a pregnancy for a couple she wanted to help. What seemed like an act of generosity turned into a nightmare: a high-risk pregnancy, a fraudulent contract, and the loss of any contact with her child. Her story exposes the violence of a system that exploits women and commodifies children. Surrogacy is not a medical act nor a free choice – it is a global reproductive market built on economic and gender inequalities.

Pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo recently held an off-the-record meeting with select journalists about the conflict surrounding the Valle de los Caídos (Cuelgamuros). Although excluded from the meeting, the Catholic outlet Infovaticana obtained the full audio and published excerpts on January 30. In the recording, Cardinal Cobo downplays the Valley’s importance to Madrid’s Church life and admits his archdiocese has no jurisdiction over the pontifical monastery. He describes internal Church discussions about the possible expulsion of the Benedictines and the government’s plan to “resignify” the site. Cardinal Cobo recounts a meeting with Church leaders and Benedictine prior Santiago Cantera, where they split the issue into two tracks: one concerning the monks, the other the government’s political project. He claims his aim was to prevent expulsion, but admits telling the Benedictines that if they were not removed, they would have to undergo a “process of conversion.” According to …Күбрәк
I visited this enormous and edifying shrine twice. Removing monks or nuns out of monasteries and convents is NOT a positive move unless some gave sin and scandal has occurred.
I read the article. It seems to obfuscate placing the blame of Trumps Bolshevik revolution in the hands of Israel. Israel is simply a Russian KGB proxy.
The bishops in Flanders, Belgium, want to keep the debate open on allowing women to become deacons, according to CathoBel.be on January 29. They published a statement saying that the issue should not be considered closed at the local level, even after the recent Vatican study. The bishops said that church tradition should not be the deciding factor in the discussion, and that "signs of the times" should be taken seriously. This was in response to the open letter from a group of women frustrated by the recent Vatican study. The bishops replied that they "understand the women’s feelings". Furthermore, they said that women should be more closely involved in decision-making relating to theology, liturgy and pastoral care, and described women’s leadership in the Church as “an undeniable enrichment”. They added that it is not a good thing that only men carry out liturgical roles during church celebrations. They want women to have greater visibility within Church life, within existing limits. …Күбрәк
Vatican Council II has a reality of its own.This is not know to Pope Leo. We affirm Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation) and then point out that Lumen Gentium 16 is not an exception for AG 7. We cannot first, affirm LG 16 and then suggest that LG 16 etc are physically visible cases of known persons saved outside the Catholic Church, without faith and baptism, in the present times.This would be irrational and it would be confusing. In inter-religious dialogue the blue passages dominate and the red passagesare not explicit exceptions for AG 7. Pope Leo cannot cite LG 16 etc as the norm for salvation or an exception for AG 7 and the dogma EENS. This would be irrational. In Collegiality, for all, the blue passages dominate and the redare not exceptions. So we have unity. There is no liberal-traditionalist division since the Council and Catechism are no more liberal. In traditional mission; ecclesiocentric mission like in the Middle Ages, the blue passages in …Күбрәк
The Vatican is preparing an unprecedented bistro on the large terrace above St Peter’s Basilica. The project would reuse former storage rooms once used by the Sampietrini, the basilica’s maintenance staff. According to LaSicilia.it, furniture and fittings have already been delivered, suggesting the work is well advanced. A small bar already operates on the terrace, and the planned bistro would expand this service as part of the basilica’s gradual musealization.
In Vaticano da tempo si sta silenziosamente lavorando alla realizzazione del primo ristorante nel suo genere perché progettato per funzionare nel cuore della principale basilica patriarcale, collocato proprio sul grande terrazzamento che sovrasta San Pietro.
