Ojciec Pepe: Franciszek docenia własnoręcznie zrobione prezenty
Franciszek nie lubi obchodzić swoich urodzin. W Buenos Aires nigdy nie był to dzień szczególnie ważny. Tak mówi ks. José Maria Di Paola, który przez wiele lat współpracował z kard. Bergoglio w faweli leżącej na peryferiach argentyńskiej stolicy. Duszpasterz biedoty, popularnie nazywany ojcem Pepe, wciąż prowadzi tam ośrodek dla trudnej młodzieży, w którym nota bene często bywał obecny Papież. Ubodzy mieszkańcy „Villas Miserias” pamiętają o nim w szczególnej, urodzinowej modlitwie.

Belgia: pierwszy przypadek eutanazji niepełnoletniego

Fakt ten wymaga wyraźnego potępienia – uważa Stowarzyszenie „Nauka i życie”, wspomagające Konferencję Episkopatu Włoch w kwestiach bioetycznych. Jak czytamy w wydanej przez nie nocie, „prawo do eutanazji dla niepełnoletniego to nic innego, jak tylko danie dorosłemu prawa do decydowaniu o życiu i śmierci dziecka”.
