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.
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.
Catholic Church needs the rich for its mission not pauperism

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.

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'.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
