Jewish settlers’ attacks on Palestinians are not isolated incidents, and despite condemnations by Israeli officials, the violence continues, fueled by persistent impunity for perpetrators. The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem issued a joint statement following the October 17 settler attack on the Christian village of Taybeh. They insist the attack was not an isolated incident, but part of a wider pattern of settler violence against Palestinian villages across the West Bank, escalating during the olive harvest. The Church leaders acknowledge that Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the violence and that Israeli police made arrests. However, they warn that settler attacks continue because perpetrators enjoy impunity, raising serious concerns about the effectiveness of Israeli law enforcement. Finally, they condemn a recently published religious ruling permitting Jews to take Palestinians' olives, calling it "very worrying and dangerous, and absolutely unacceptable." The …Zvimwe

Questi giovani , questi autisti che creano disagio come quando i comunisti facevano sciopera alla Fiat cosa debbono fare ? Quando i metalmeccanici e ferrovieri creavano disagio , come cercavano di risolvere la situazione al Governo ? Col semplice aumento dello stipendio ,ma anche promettendo una società di uguaglianza e libertè . E si andava avanti con un po di stipendi aumentati ... sempre nella stessa direzione democratica però . Un settore sociale che si vede umiliato e distrutto cosa doverebbe fare oltre allo scipero ? Aspettare le elezioni o creare un partito per crecare di salvarsi o vedere cambiata la loro situazione e non creare disagli ? Ecco che il 95% degli stessi cattolici e cristiani oggi non hanno idea di cosa possa essere la Giustizia di Dio sulla Terra e l' unico modo per farglielo capire sono le guerre le carestie e la fame ,se lo capiranno . Ma credo che lo capiranno troppo tardi .
Sto diffondendo questo pensiero che spero sia cattolico ma laico . Dal punto di vista morale Parigi , Bologna, Milano, Roma , Torino ,Marsiglia meritano di essere rase al suolo o dai teppisti o da qulacos'altro perchè si è afferamta oramai la mentalita democratica di libertè , fraternite , egalitè che sta dando i suoi frutti . Prima crolla questa tipo di civiltà e piu si avvicina il Regno di Dio o la cilviltà in cui regna la giustizia sociale
Rev. Antonio Jesús Martín de Lera, former vicar general of the Diocese of Zamora, Spain, is facing a canonical criminal trial over financial misconduct and abuse of ecclesiastical authority. Bishop Fernando Valera ordered a preliminary investigation after learning of possible irregularities. A judicial tribunal was formally constituted on January 29, 2026, before the Tribunal of the Rota of the Apostolic Nunciature in Madrid. According to Spanish media reports, investigators uncovered substantial unexplained financial losses linked to the management of Cáritas assets. The amounts involved have not been disclosed. The proceedings follow a prolonged dispute between the bishop and his former deputy, who was previously removed from diocesan leadership and parish responsibilities. The diocese stresses that no verdict has been reached and that Martín de Lera remains entitled to the presumption of innocence. #newsVdzysuastr
"It was a very unscientific and harmful report." HJA Ruissen condemns the Forbidden Colours "Hate Review" — a report riddled with lies and inaccuracies about hundreds of Christian organisations. He rightly asks: Why is the EU funding groups who vilify certain viewpoints simply because they are Christian? @Jugend für das Leben
Denver Archdiocese imposed restrictions on Rev. Chad Ripperger following investigation into medical advice in 2025
The celebrity priest Fr. Chad Ripperger had his ministry restricted as early as 2025. An investigation published by his critics at WherePeterIs.com on October 20 documents earlier restrictions Fr Ripperger by the Archdiocese of Denver. Fr Ripperger is known for attributing various psychological conditions, temptations, and behaviors to demonic influence. He has associated named demons with abortion, homosexuality, sloth, and other matters, and has described obtaining information about demons by questioning them during alleged exorcisms. In a 2018 lecture, Ripperger claimed that cases of bipolar disorder were actually cases of demonic obsession. Then-Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver initiated an investigation in March 2025. It followed a complaint from a family whose relative stopped taking psychiatric medication after following Ripperger's advice and subsequently suffered severe, reportedly irreversible harm. Following the investigation, formal canonical restrictions were imposed in …Zvimwe
According to the article: "In a letter dated September 15, 2025, [sic] a formal decree had been issued to Ripperger. The decree told Ripperger to “use proper disclaimers” and “clearly maintain professional boundaries in all writing and public speaking”; [sic] warned him “to refrain from making statements related to fields such as psychology and psychiatry unless he has first consulted with professionals in those fields”;" One wonders if psychiatrists should consult with exorcists before prescribing medication; particularly medications with known suicidal side effects.
Worse than Germany: Irish Synod pushes female 'ordination'. Twenty-three bishops, including presiding Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, attended the Irish Synod on Saturday. The majority favoured the ordination of women to the diaconate. The Synod didn't vote on using chocolate instead of hosts at the Novus Ordo. More than 300 handpicked delegates gathered in Gormanston, County Meath, to vote on 35 proposals concerning the future of the Church in Ireland. Regarding women's ministry, including "ordination" to the diaconate, 54% supported further exploration. A further 19% called for further consideration, while 27% were opposed. Delegates also voted in favour of adopting "more respectful language" concerning practicing homosexuals. The proposal received 61% support, while 26% requested further discernment and 13% opposed it. At the end of the assembly, Archbishop Martin recalled that it was the bishops who had initiated the synodal process in 2021. He announced that the Irish Bishops' …Zvimwe

Macron says that foreign leaders who are running electoral campaigns on France’s expense by sharing false information about the riots in France. Macron says that some are spreading the false image of France being overrun by immigrants and Islamists.
Zion calling it RIGHT for France, you can call Netanyahu whatever but in this video he tells it like it is... France took thousands of muslims and now is taking it in the chin, but most catholics will say: "it’s Netanyahu he"s a zionist", but I say, even the devil tells the truth when compelled by the Power of God, and sometimes such Power works indirectly to bring out the truth, and the truth is... France politicians embraced the devil and now its people suffer the consequences, IF only they would've embraced Jesus from the get go, this would've never happened.
Sam shows us another Catholic Church near Moscow. I have shown pictures already of The Cathedral of the Annunciation. Now we see another Catholic Church near Moscow. Today I’m visiting a typical provincial Russian Catholic church — a small, peaceful place many people outside the country don’t even realise exists. While Russia is known for its Orthodox churches and golden domes, there are Catholic communities quietly living their everyday lives across the country, especially in provincial towns. As a foreigner, stepping into one of these churches feels both familiar and unique. The architecture, the atmosphere, the people, the traditions… they create a blend of Western and Russian influences you rarely see anywhere else. In this video, you’ll see: – What a Catholic church in provincial Russia actually looks like – The architecture, interior, and atmosphere – How Catholic communities live within a largely Orthodox country – The differences and similarities to Western churches – A quiet …Zvimwe
