Reclaiming rest and worship, which have been banned by a hyper-productive society, is the posthumous appeal of the conservative activist who explained that working on holidays has not made us richer or freer, but only more stressed and enslaved. By denying time to God, we enslave ourselves to the Antichrist.

Catholic Church needs property to fulfil its mission
The slogan 'A poor Church for the poor' is meaningless, and the bishops have turned themselves into liquidators. However, to evangelise and support charitable works, the Church needs the necessary infrastructure. Otherwise, it becomes subservient to those in power.
Is it Mary a model of the redeemed and nothing more? The dogmatic truth is different
In this article, Father Serafino Lanzetta, a professor of dogmatic theology at the Theological Faculty of Lugano, weighs in on the debate sparked by Mater Populi Fidelis. He refers back to the first great Mariological dispute, which was resolved at Ephesus. Today, as then, downplaying Mary's role leads to a misunderstanding of the truth about Christ.

Fernández's latest mess over the use of title 'Co-Redemptrix'
In response to journalist Diane Montagna, the Prefect of the CDF explained that the title of 'Co-Redemptrix' should no longer be used in liturgical texts or Vatican documents. However, it could still be used among friends after reading and understanding the 'Mater Populi Fidelis'. This is an incredible blunder which creates a rift within the Church. The case of the 'mutinous' Mariologists.
Prince Albert’s resounding 'no' does not cancel abortion in Monaco
The Prince blocked a bill that aimed to broaden the scope of abortion, recalling 'the role that the Catholic religion plays in our country'. While this is a good example, the same sovereign should not have approved the liberalisation in 2009 and 2019.
