House bill vs religious rites sa gov't offices haharangin Ni Butch Quejada (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated June 20, 2012 MANILA, Philippines - Haharangin ni Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez ang ‘ban God’ bill na inihain kamakailan sa Kamara ng kapwa niya kongresista na naglalayon ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious symbol sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Golez na paglabag umano sa Konstitusyon ang panukala ni Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino. Sinabi ni Golez, maging sa sesyon ng Kongreso ay nagsisimula sa pagdarasal matapos ang pagpapatugtog ng Lupang Hinirang at gayundin aniya sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno. Sa House bill 6330 ni Palatino, ipagbabawal na ang paglalagay ng krus, santo at maging bibliya sa alinmang ahensya ng gobyerno. Sinabi ni Palatino na wala dapat binibigyan ng pabor na relihiyon ang gobyerno kaya dapat ipagbawal ang pagdaraos ng religious ceremonies at paglalagay ng religious …Higit pa
Monsignor Livio Melina (pictured with Benedict XVI), former president (2006-2016) of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, has written on Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia’s role in the suppression of the original Institute. Melina responded on LaNuovaBq.it (June 20) to a May 21 interview Paglia gave to Settimana News. “Cover for an Unconfessable Interest” Melina’s most striking accusation comes near the end of his essay: “Paglia’s actions were not moved by theological reasons, but by an ideological criticism of the Institute.” He suggests that ideology serves to hide deeper motives: “Ideology, as Karl Marx taught us, functions as a cover for an unconfessable interest.” Melina suggests that the suppression may have stemmed from a conviction that the Church's traditional teaching on marriage and family is "unreasonable" and "impracticable". "No Facts, Only Interpretations" - Nietzsche Melina accuses Paglia's paradigm of resting on the "principle of …Higit pa

US Bishop Abolishes Another Mass in Roman Rite: Bishop William F. Medley of Owensboro, Kentucky, has ordered Rev. David Kennedy to stop celebrating according to the Roman Missal after June 30. He will only permit the Novus Ordo celebrated in Latin and ad orientem instead. Bishop Medley explains he cannot certify - as Vatican instructions required - that the parish has taken steps to move the faithful toward the Novus Ordo. He delayed action to see if Leo XIV would reconsider Traditionis Custodes but proceeded after the Cardinals' January Consistory declined to revisit the document.

St. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, the brother of Martha and Mary, was the one of whom the Jews said, "See how much he loved him." In their sight Jesus raised his friend Lazarus from the dead. Legends abound about the life of Lazarus after the death and resurrection of Jesus. He is supposed to have left a written account of what he saw in the next world before he was called back to life. Some say he followed Peter into Syria. Another story is that despite being put into a leaking boat by the Jews at Jaffa, he, his sisters and others landed safely in Cyprus. There he died peacefully after serving as bishop for 30 years. A church was built in his honor in Constantinople and some of his reputed relics were transferred there in 890. A Western legend has the oarless boat arriving in Gaul. There he was bishop of Marseilles, was martyred after making a number of converts and was buried in a cave. His relics were transferred to the new cathedral in Autun in 1146. It is certain there was early …Higit pa

October 17 St. Ignatius of Antioch (d. 107?) Born in Syria, Ignatius converted to Christianity and eventually became bishop of Antioch. In the year 107, Emperor Trajan visited Antioch and forced the Christians there to choose between death and apostasy. Ignatius would not deny Christ and thus was condemned to be put to death in Rome. Ignatius is well known for the seven letters he wrote on the long journey from Antioch to Rome. Five of these letters are to Churches in Asia Minor; they urge the Christians there to remain faithful to God and to obey their superiors. He warns them against heretical doctrines, providing them with the solid truths of the Christian faith. The sixth letter was to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, who was later martyred for the faith. The final letter begs the Christians in Rome not to try to stop his martyrdom. "The only thing I ask of you is to allow me to offer the libation of my blood to God. I am the wheat of the Lord; may I be ground by the teeth of the beasts …Higit pa
Ang sakramentong kasal "ay hindi mabubuwag ng anumang kapangyarihan ng tao, ito man ay civil o sa simbahan, sa paglipas man ng panahon matapos ang paghihiwalay (kasalanan man o hindi; maiksi man o mahaba), o dahil wala ng pagmamahalan sa pagitan ng mag-asawa, ni sa personal na paniniwala sa konsiyensiya, kahit sa mabuting pananampalataya", isinulat ni Obispo Padre Daniel Martinez Perea ng San Luis, Argentina, noong ika-29 ng Hunyo bilang liham sa kanyang mga pari. Muling isinalaysay ni Obispo Martinez ang turo ng Katoliko na ang tao na sumiping sa ibang tao ay "nagkakasala" at dapat maghiwalay. Kung hindi man, ang pagtanggap ng Banal na Komunyon ay ipinagbabawal. Sinabi rin niya na walang anumang binago ang Amoris Laetitia at di-umano'y "isang malaking katekesis". picture: Pedro Daniel Martinez Perea, #newsHquxsevcvr
