the pastoral letter of the Nordic Bishops’ Conference (bishops of Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway) on migration (published this week)

Migration - Coram Fratribus
To foster love of one’s nation, to value its traditions and heritage, is a good thing. Narrow-minded nationalism, however, must be abhorrent to Catholics and to all people of good will.

per il "Giornale di Brescia", il mio articolo sulla comparata di una dozzina di vescovi alla Casa Bianca: cosa dice sui rapporti tra amministrazione Trump ed episcopato USA, oggi meno disposto a farsi usare. Ci hanno messo solo dieci anni

Tra la fede e il potere di Trump cresce il dissenso dei cattolici
Il presidente degli Stati Uniti ha smascherato la truffa ideologica, intrisa di nativismo razzista e suprematista, del cristianesimo di corte alla Casa Bianca oggi

"With rising populisms exploiting cultural identity to propagate ethnonationalist narratives, the relationship between anti-authoritarian liberalism and religion requires rethinking."

Havel, Trump, and the Church
The Catholic Church has a vital role to play in supporting anti-authoritarian movements around the world.

The C6 #mosaics of S. Vitale in #Ravenna are often read as a transition from classical to #Christian visual language, but they are also highly polemical. The lunette’s Old Testament scenes operate as assertions of theological orthodoxy for #MosaicMonday. #AncientBluesky 🏺🧵
LUNETTE MOSAIC WITH SCENES OF ABRAHAM, C. 547 CE. SAN VITALE, RAVENNA. A semicircular mosaic lunette combining two Old Testament scenes. Left, Abraham serves three seated angels beneath the Oak of Mamre, while Sarah eavesdrops from a doorway behind him. Right, Abraham raises a sword to sacrifice Isaac, but the Hand of God emerges from the clouds to halt him, and a substitute ram waits at his feet. Beyond prefiguring the Eucharist, the three identical, haloed angels make a pointed anti-Arian statement. Following the Byzantine reconquest of Ravenna, depicting the Trinity as co-equal figures explicitly enforced Orthodox Christology in the sanctuary.

Lula:

"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world.

We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
