Caritas combats Covid-19 crisis; over 1700 patients and workers put their lives on hold
A grand total of twelve facilities managed by Caritas are being operated on a strict “closed circuit” preventive management regime. The measure, which affects 1,700 workers and patients, aims to prevent the potential spread of Covid-19 among vulnerable groups.

The Church upholds the Truth and safeguards the Rights of the Unborn
The Catholic Church has and always will stand unhesitatingly for the truth, despite the vile, perfidious attacks of the enemy.

Barefoot harvesters in the golden fields of the world

BITE-SIZE THEOLOGY (183): Is it enough that a Christian be “nice” and “decent”?
Christian morals seem to impose on us a series of “thou-shalt-nots,” but these should be seen as the training of the body “to subdue it,” as Saint Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:24.

In God we possess everything
God must be what makes us whole, our beginning and our end. Without him, we would not be and it is only in him that we gain everything.
