Dear Reader:
For Catholics today it is easy to fall prey to becoming one’s own means of salvation. Personal salvation is not to be interpreted as “I have to save my soul by myself” and do not need the Church—for it is only through the Church that salvation is obtained. Continue reading →

I feel what’s being overlooked from President Trumps Immigration Ban, is a signal to these 7 countries, and the rest of the middle Eastern countries. If you want to come to America you must do more to suppress terror in your own countries FIRST.

Everyone knows that these terrorists are sponsored by the Mosques. Or in some cases the governments in their communities.

It’s time America took action over the lack of motivation, these communities to do if anything to correct it. Until they do they don’t deserve the right to come to America.

Pope Francis met with officials from Jerusalem’s Hebrew University to develop and plan an interfaith educational program seeking to promote civic opportunity and dialogue in the Middle East.

According to organizers, the initiative will be launched at an international conference hosted by the Vatican’s Pontifical Scholas Occurentes program and Hebrew University’s Truman Research Institute next summer, and will “bring together youth, educators and academics to Jerusalem under the banner of ‘The Culture of Encounter Through Education.’” MORE

Islam has taken its first step towards becoming an officially recognised religion in Italy, with major Muslim groups signing up to a government demand that all imams are registered and preach in the Italian language.

Islam is the only major religion in Italy with no agreement with the State, leaving institutions unable to receive tax subsidies. Islamic weddings also have no legal status and Muslim workers are unable to take religious holidays off work. MORE

As the Church changes to purple to express the entrance into the penitential season that begins with Ash Wednesday, ceasing to say the Alleluia and on Sundays and ferias suppressing the Gloria. Continue reading →

Cairo- Sheikh Jaber Tayei, head of religious department in the Egyptian Endowments Ministry General Bureau, said that the newly appointed women preachers will perform their tasks at the women oratories.

He added that two days per week will be allocated to giving lectures on women related topics.

Tayei told Asharq Al-Awsat that “144 preachers were appointed as a first step and there are more steps in the upcoming period to activate the women preaching work.” MORE

Well would you believe, I’ve been trying to get Israel to implement a 1-Country -3- State policy with the Palestinians. Here you have a friend of the family, hugging the Jewish King.

In times past, whenever Chuck was in the L.A. area, he would visit and work out at Steve Fisher Studios. Steve was known as the California Kid. My son Daniel became a black-belt instructor there, and has worked out with Chuck.   

One of Daniel’s friends became Chucks bodyguard. We’ve lost touch with Chuck over the years. Which is too bad, since he could have helped suggest my peace plan. Both Steve and the bodyguard are gone. RIP.

“Israel is strong, but it’s indestructible now,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quipped in a meeting with visiting American movie star Chuck Norris — an avid martial artist. MORE

There’s a lot of confusion, actually, about St. Valentine, whose feast we celebrate today.
The most popular legend places Valentine near Rome in the third century, during the reign of the Emperor Claudius III (nicknamed Claudius the Cruel).  According to the story, Claudius sought to expand the Roman Empire, and so needed a strong army to conquer new settlements. Continue reading →

Divine constellation

Turn this evening into a cosmic experience — a full moon, lunar eclipse and the chance to see a pale green comet as it streaks by Earth. Oh, and beg for clear skies. MORE

Just weeks after Donald John Trump was elected 45th president of the United States of America, his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway speaks out about the real reason why he won.

In a landslide election, Donald J. Trump shocked liberals and republicans alike when he defeated Hillary Clinton in a historic, unprecedented win. And to say that people were astonished at Donald Trump’s victory would be the understatement of the century. MORE

In one of the cardinal’s antechambers, amid religious statues and book-lined walls, Cardinal Burke and Mr. Bannon — who is now President Trump’s anti-establishment eminence — bonded over their shared worldview. They saw Islam as threatening to overrun a prostrate West weakened by the erosion of traditional Christian values, and viewed themselves as unjustly ostracized by out-of-touch political elites. MORE

At age 24, Alex Mangion became Malta’s first transgender politician when he won a local office on the conservative Nationalists’ ticket, a striking combination in a country that until recently had been a last bastion in western Europe of social norms largely dictated by the Catholic church.

The Nationalist Party recruited Mangion to run for town council with an eye toward grooming him as a candidate for next year’s Parliamentary election. The party, which governed Malta for a quarter-century, hopes to reverse its stinging, landslide 2013 loss to socialist archrivals who returned to power with an agenda heavy on LGBT rights. MORE
