“The poor you will always have with you” - The Holy Father’s Message for the 5th World Day of the Poor
“It is my hope that the celebration of the World Day of the Poor, now in its fifth year, will grow in our local Churches and inspire a movement of evangelization that meets the poor personally wherever they may be. We cannot wait for the poor to knock on our door; we need urgently to reach them in their homes, in hospitals and nursing homes, on the streets and in the dark corners,” writes the Holy Father Francis in his message for the World Day of the Poor, announced today (June 14, 2021).
Episkopat Brazylii o szkolnictwie
Na ostatnim w tym roku zebraniu rady duszpasterskiej episkopatu Brazylii (Consep) w dniach 22-23 listopada przygotowano kilka ważnych dokumentów o charakterze wewnątrzkościelnym, jak też wyrażających zatroskanie o życie społeczne tego kraju. Spośród nich najwięcej uwagi tamtejszych środków przekazu przyciągnął „Komunikat o reformie szkolnictwa średniego”.
Il Portavoce dell'Episcopato Polacco: la Dichiarazione Fiducia supplicans non cambia i precedenti insegnamenti della Chiesa
La dichiarazione non cambia in alcun modo i precedenti insegnamenti della Chiesa sul matrimonio e la famiglia. Inoltre, non è un documento sull'insegnamento della Chiesa sul matrimonio e la famiglia, ma piuttosto sulla corretta comprensione della parola "benedizione" – si legge nella dichiarazione di P. Leszek Gęsiak SJ, Portavoce della Conferenza Episcopale Polacca.
Australians urged to fight human trafficking, injustice
The Catholic Church of Australia is calling on its citizens not to be indifferent to human trafficking and take simple steps to combatting global injustice. The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Commission for Pastoral life (BCPL) and Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans (ACRATH) are calling for a day of prayer, reflection and action against human trafficking on 8 February, the Feast of St Josephine Bakhita, a Sudanese slave who was rescued and later became a Canossian nun, and was declared a Saint in 2000. Last year, the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the International Union of Superiors General, promoted the first “International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking”, or Bakhita Day, on Feb. 8.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science
More than ever today, the world needs science and science needs women, the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said on Thursday marking the first International Day of Women and Girls in Science. “UNESCO's message is clear – the new [2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development] will not meet its promise without investing in women's and girls' empowerment through and in science,” Irina Bokova said in a message for the occasion. According to the most recent UNESCO Science Report, women account for only 28 per cent of researchers across the world, with the gap deepening at the higher echelons of decision-making. Women also have less access to funding, to networks, to senior positions, which puts them at a further disadvantage in high impact science publishing.
