The EU has frozen Russian financial assets in Europe indefinitely. Although this is a less drastic measure than the proposed seizure, it is still dangerous because we will only get that money back if Russia is defeated, which is not currently likely.
Africa celebrates Christmas between terrorist attacks and Christian testimony
In northern and central Nigeria, Burkina Faso and northern Mozambique, Christmas is a day when the risk of a jihadist attack is at its highest. Yet, the faithful risk their lives to persevere in their faith.
"The EU discriminated against FAFCE because we are pro-family"
"There has been a serious shift in attitude on the part of the European Commission. First, they claimed the family excludes; now, the family is excluded." Vincenzo Bassi, president of the Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe, which has been excluded from European funds because of its anti-gender stance, speaks to the Daily Compass.
Pope’s Pro-Life Message on Nativity Scene in Paul VI Hall
A pregnant Madonna and thousands of ribbons symbolising the countless children saved from abortion. When Pope Leo inaugurated the unprecedented work, he also recalled this, breaking not only the mould, but also the mould of those bishops who looked with annoyance at the prayers for life in front of abortion clinics.
News of the conviction of Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai has been completely ignored by Vatican media outlets and the Holy See. This is yet another perverse consequence of the secret China-Vatican agreement: in the name of political expediency, Catholics are being left at the mercy of their persecutors.
- Jimmy Lai's conviction was the result of a sham trial, by Riccardo Cascioli
- DOSSIER: Jimmy Lai, a Catholic against the Power
The Hong Kong entrepreneur and Catholic publisher was found guilty of conspiring with foreign forces, a charge that carries a life sentence. Cardinal Zen was also present in the packed courtroom. In October, Jimmy Lai received the 'Made for Truth' award from the Daily Compass/Bussola, which was accepted by his son, Sebastien.

'Mary Co-Redemptrix': all that's wrong in the Vatican Note
The Daily Compass publishes the document by the Theological Commission of the International Marian Association, which clarifies the correct doctrine concerning the titles 'Mary Co-Redemptrix' and 'Mediatrix of all graces'. This document responds to the 'Note Mater Populi Fidelis' by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which caused confusion and disorientation among the faithful.

They want us all to become 'forest families'
The story of Nathan Trevallion and Catherine Birmingham, in Italy, is paradoxical because they embody the lifestyle that the so-called 'green' tyranny wants for everyone: they are the only people who comply with the ecological footprint. However, they clash with another ideology, that of the omnipotent state.
The diaconate divides Vatican commission on women deacons
The ten members called upon to express their opinion on the ordination of women deacons are divided into two theological currents. The issue that emerged in Cardinal Petrocchi's summary concerns the understanding of the third degree of holy orders. The ball is now in the Pope's court; he is not bound by their opinions.
Younan the disheartened patriarch makes futile attempt to gain Pope’s support
The majority of Syriac Catholic bishops had asked for his resignation, a decision later supported by the Holy See. However, during a private meeting in Beirut between the Pope and the Catholic patriarchs, Younan sought his brothers' support in an attempt to convince Prevost to change his mind. It is highly unlikely that he will.
