A 43-year-old man accuses missionary priest Eduardo Martín Clemens of having sexually abused him when he was 14 and reveals that he received 80,000 euros from him, which he considers an attempt to silence him, while the priest denies the accusations and claims that the payments were to help someone in need. #AbusosSexuales #IglesiaCatólica #Justicia (translated)

The recent beatification of twenty priests murdered by anarchists in 1936 in Formentera has been an act of remembrance and homage to their faith and sacrifice, in the context of a brutal repression during the Spanish Civil War. #MemoriaHistórica #SacerdotesBeatificados #GuerraCivilEspañola (translated)

The martyr is not the one who seeks death, but the one who does not renounce Christ. During the homily, Semeraro pointed out that the story of the twenty priests refers to "one of the most demanding truths of the Christian faith" and defended that "the martyr is not the one who seeks death, but the one who does not renounce Christ" when maintaining their faith can cost them their life. #Beatificación #Sacerdotes #GuerraCivil (translated)

Marina Silva said that she has always defended a secular state, with freedom and guarantees for all religions, but that her evangelical faith guided many of her choices. When mentioning the parable of the good Samaritan, she stated that Jesus valued acts of care, not just religious titles. Silva declared her support for those who commit to the dignity and safety of Brazilians. She cited examples such as the Popular Pharmacy, the income tax exemption for those earning up to 5,000 reais, school meals, technical and vocational education, and funding for public universities to conduct research. She also expressed support for the protection of nature and financial assistance to people in difficult situations. She urged people not to make their decisions based on hatred and warned that policies built over many years could be quickly destroyed, leaving the population more vulnerable without support. Silva asked them to vote for Lula for president and Geraldo Alckmin for vice president on the 25th. #EstadoLaico #Solidariedade #Eleições2022 (translated)

It lasted less than a day. Many were individuals who had been in prison or had problems with alcohol and drugs. They were transported by a group of people who crossed the border from Russia on buses and urged them to occupy the building. Once they were inside, they turned towards Russia. There was Motorola [Arsen Pavlov, a Russian paramilitary leader who would later intervene in the war in Donbas]. Our investigation led us to talk to detainees, analyze the documents they had left when they retreated, and visit the places where they had stayed. The conclusion was indisputable, and my thesis is that the preparation for the occupation of Donbas did not begin in 2014, after the Maidan uprising [the popular uprising that led to the fleeing of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych], but much earlier, perhaps after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Close to a hundred Russians crossed the border dressed as civilians, as if they were tourists. They had no weapons. They went straight to Villa María. That is where they had left the uniforms and weapons with which they appeared on the streets of Sloviansk. The church employees were involved in the preparation, including a priest, who later became one of the leaders of the armed groups. #GuerraEnUcrania #Rusia #Donbás (translated)

The Jesuits have expelled the priest Francesc Peris for sexual abuse of minors since the 1970s, acknowledging his guilt and mistakes in handling the complaints, although he has reached an agreement to reside under strict restrictions in one of their communities. #AbusosSexuales #Jesuitas #Justicia (translated)

🙏🏽 RESPECT OUR FAITHS! After the decision by Minister Flávio Dino, the Federal Police will investigate the wave of attacks on religious images and places of worship of the Catholic faith and religions of African origins. I celebrate this decision. Since the beginning of my political life, I have dedicated myself to valuing the religious diversity of our country and advocating against religious racism and in defense of the people of terreiro and the freedom of worship of our people, which is now threatened by an unprecedented wave of hatred and discrimination. That is why I have already dedicated R$ 3.5 million in parliamentary amendments for projects to protect our diverse religiosities and ancestries, and I am also the author of the proposal that includes spiritual leaders of traditional peoples in the list of religious authorities eligible for retirement through individual contributions to the INSS. Our country is diverse, rich in faith and culture, and cannot be taken over by a radical, hateful, and fundamentalist minority that disrespects the ground it walks on and the living history our people carry forward. #DiversidadeReligiosa #LiberdadeDeCulto #RacismoReligioso (translated)

CHEGAMOS AOS 101,48%! Minha gente, é com muita alegria e até espanto que eu venho agradecer a vocês. Para ser bem sincero, eu não imaginava que chegaríamos aos 100% hoje. Acreditava que ainda precisaríamos de algumas sextas-feiras para alcançar esse objetivo. Mas me parece que vocês se animaram e disseram: “Não! Hoje é o último dia dos 40 dias, nós vamos chegar aos 100%!” E chegamos, minha gente! Aliás, chegamos aos 101,48%. Eu fiquei admirado! E o que significa essa conquista? Vocês compraram e pagaram a nossa primeira Casa do Rosário, da Obra de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, na região central de São Paulo, próxima aos aeroportos, o que vai ajudar muito a nossa missão. Nessa casa teremos as reuniões da Obra, vamos acolher bispos, sacerdotes, músicos e tantos outros convidados do Rosário. Teremos Adoração ao Santíssimo, Santa Missa e tantos projetos da Obra acontecendo ali. Tenho certeza de que muita coisa boa vai nascer nessa casa. Muito obrigado a cada um de vocês. Alguns puderam doar um pouquinho a cada dia, outros puderam ajudar um pouco mais, mas cada um fez a sua parte. E foi a união de todos que tornou esse sonho possível. Desejo, do fundo do meu coração, que um dia você também tenha a oportunidade de ser sorteado e estar conosco presencialmente na Casa do Rosário, rezando junto com a gente. Deus abençoe você, a sua generosidade e cada oferta realizada. Continuamos juntos! #Gratidão #Conquista #Comunidade
