The welcome of Pope Francis by Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki
Welcoming the Pope at Wawel, Polish Episcopal Conference President Abp. Stanislaw Gadecki said that the pontiff's pilgrimage came during the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. "The church in Poland feels a special responsibility in this area. This is because the message of mercy is closely connected with a daughter of our country, St. Faustina Kowalska, as well as with St. Pope John Paul II, both of whom - through their lives and their writing - brought its value closer to us," he remarked.
Włochy: zamknięto kolejne nielegalne meczety
Włoska policja zamknęła ostatnio pięć nielegalnie działających w Rzymie meczetów. Na te działania wyznawcy islamu odpowiedzieli „modlitewnym protestem”. W miniony piątek zebrali się przy wznoszącym się nieopodal Koloseum Łuku Konstantyna, upamiętniającym cesarza, który jako pierwszy dał chrześcijanom swobodę wyznania. Co więcej, decyzję włoskich władz potępiło też działające w Kairze Obserwatorium Przeciwko Islamofobii, zależne od rządu Egiptu. W specjalnym komunikacie podkreśliło ono, że „zamykanie meczetów może przyczynić się do wzmacniania radykalizmu i dawać ekstremistom usprawiedliwienie dla ich aktów kryminalnych”.
