Saint Richard of Chichester by Ermes Dovico

John Paul II had the great merit of proclaiming the "supreme authority of Christ" not only over hearts but also over public life. It was a call he made throughout his pontificate, albeit from the perspective of the Second Vatican Council. Among his great battles: human rights and freedom, founded on God's law and truth.

CHURCH POLITICS

Bishop lends Brindisi parish to Imam, a left politician

The Catholic celebration of Ramadan knows no bounds. In Brindisi, south Italy, the closing lunch for the Islamic fast was held in the parish of San Carlo with the Muslim community inviting Catholics to attend. And the Bishop, he poses for a photograph with the local Imam, previously a candidate for the Democratic Party in the local elections. Proof that Islamism is a political project.

ETHICS AND MONEY

Catholic Church needs the rich for its mission not pauperism

Money is not evil in itself, but a tool that, if used wisely, can be used to build good. Progressivism preaches a poor church just because it wants to replace it.

VATICAN

Fernández opens up to sex 'change' in new document

The Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has published a document with 'some clarifications' on Dignitas infinita, introducing a dangerous exception to the CDF's original declaration. In short, for Fernández, 'gender reassignment' is morally acceptable, provided that the so-called dysphoria is severe.

Christ's kingship over our hearts and over the whole of society restores man's original communion with God and is the answer to the growing confusion in the world and in the Church. We publish the text of the introductory lecture at the National School of the Social Doctrine of the Church on "The Social Kingship of Christ and the Magisterium of Pius XI - On the Centenary of Quas Primas".


Only religious reasons are the cause for the Alawites’ slaughter in western Syria. There is no uprising by those nostalgic for the old regime, but a massacre of civilians by the new regime. An Alawite from Latakia speaks out.

World 26_03_2025 Elisa Gestri

Thirty years ago, on 25 March, John Paul II published his encyclical Evangelium vitae 'on the value and inviolability of human life'. Today there is nothing to celebrate: morality is subject to compromise and dialogue, there is little is left of the 'people for life'.

SOLEMNITY

Saint Joseph, model of manliness

The Gospels do not say anything about the most chaste husband of Mary and father of Jesus, but they do present the figure of a man who was always ready to act so that everything went according to God's will. As a true husband and father, he gave peace and security to those entrusted to his care.

PROPOSAL

Saint Patrick Option: proclaiming Christ in a world of new paganism

With the West falling into new forms of paganism, it is not enough to shield ourselves from the dominant culture. We should imitate St Patrick, who converted pagan Ireland and turned it into an island of saints with a flourishing civilisation.

MORALS MATTER

Artificial insemination, Musk's trans child exposes the truth

Xavier Alexander Musk criticises his father's decision to bring him into the world by artificial insemination, which made him feel like a bought and selected product. From there, self-rejection is born. Elon Musk's problem: pro-natalist but not pro-life.

WHAT PEACE?

EU hypocrisy on Russia prevents a solution

The reasons for concern about Putin's policies are more than justified, but the conflict is not between 'good' and 'bad'; it is a clear choice between military confrontation or a ceasefire, perhaps even a 'freeze'.
