A #Cardinal is convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to 5½ years in a major #Vatican #financial #trial

We now know that the Vatican is not a constitutional state, as no one has ever been convicted of child abuse there. Time to introduce #democracy and human rights there!

Israel destroyed Gaza's oldest mosque built in 15th century.

#IDF is working hard to flatten out Gaza, erase it's history, make it uninhabitable and at the end getting rid of the Palestinians in the name of "right to defend itself" with the money, support and weapons of #US and it's allies in #NATO.

When Notre Dame was burned, the whole world was upset and made collections and support France to rebuild it.

Israel has in 2 months destroyed the 3rd oldest #church in the world and now the oldest #mosque in n #Gaza, all without a single condemnation by the "world leaders".

Video of devastated mosque available on telegram.

#Pope Francis criticizes #capitalism

source: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/20231004-laudate-deum.html

As usual, it would seem that everything is the fault of the poor. Yet the reality is that a low, richer percentage of the planet contaminates more than the poorest 50% of the total world population, and that per capita emissions of the richer countries are much greater than those of the poorer ones.

...

Deep down, it consists in thinking “as if reality, goodness and truth automatically flow from technological and economic power as such”. As a logical consequence, it then becomes easy “to accept the idea of infinite or unlimited growth, which proves so attractive to economists, financiers and experts in #technology”.

...

One need but think of the momentary excitement raised by the money received in exchange for the deposit of nuclear waste in a certain place. The house that one could have bought with that money has turned into a grave due to the diseases that were then unleashed.

...

Once and for all, let us put an end to the irresponsible derision that would present this issue as something purely ecological, “green”, romantic, frequently subject to ridicule by economic interests. Let us finally admit that it is a human and social #problem on any number of levels. For this reason, it calls for involvement on the part of all.

**I myself am surprised to hear such wise words from the #Vatican, which I have never before mentioned with praise in my timeline

The Book of The Way, Day by Day
Saturday, 4 November, 2023 | 77

As it acts in the world, the Tao
is like the bending of a bow.
The top is bent downward;
the bottom is bent up.
It adjusts excess and deficiency
so that there is perfect balance.
It takes from what is too much
and give to what isn't enough.

Those who try to control,
who use force to protect their power,
go against the direction of the Tao.
They take from those who don't have enough
and give to those who have far too much.

The Master can keep giving
because there is no end to her wealth.
She acts without expectation,
succeeds without taking credit,
and doesn't think that she is better
than anyone else.

#Palestinian #Evangelicals Call Western #Church to Repentance, Criticized in Return
JAYSON CASPER

..."“Statement-making is not the most critical task of the church,” said Haidostian, whose Armenian evangelical union has not commented officially on the war. “More important is the task of educating about peace, justice, and historical grievances, not only current affairs.”

But Arab #Christians make them, he said, from concern in two directions.

First, he said, they appeal to a relationship of trust with international partners in the West, to counter “the unbalanced and unconditionally favorable” view of Israel often conveyed by the mainstream media.

And second, to show the region that they are not simple bystanders. Haidostian agreed that they may face local pressure from Muslims or Jews, adding that they often feel an existential hopelessness at the dwindling state of the Christian community.

But their statements assert that they, like Palestinians, are not illegitimate children of the land, nor foreign to it.

“Arab Christians are often victims too,” Haidostian said. “To blame them for partiality is simplistic.”

And though he has a strong opinion about this current conflict, the Armenian leader urged Christians not to view the region as a monolith. Believers should be careful not to conflate biblical Israel with the modern state, he said, nor allow government and media rhetoric to shape their faith commitments.

What does Christ desire of us now? he asked. Inasmuch as the Holy Land is the cradle of Christian faith, in John 17 Jesus made clear his desire stretches far beyond."...

The United States and #Russia presented two separate resolutions in the #UN Security Council on the war in #Gaza in which they first condemned the actions carried out by #Hamas.

The #US resolution obtained the double veto of Russia and #China, among other reasons, by not requesting an immediate and lasting humanitarian #ceasefire, while the Russian resolution, which did not recognize the right to self-defense of States, did not achieve the necessary votes.

The American document reaffirmed “the inherent right of all States to individual and collective self-defense,” although taking into account “international law.” It also called for “humanitarian pauses,” to allow full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.

The Russian resolution called for “an immediate, lasting and fully respected humanitarian ceasefire.”
This resolution also “unequivocally condemned the indiscriminate attacks against civilians and civilian objects in the Gaza Strip that resulted in civilian casualties,” including “the atrocious attack on Al-Ahli #Hospital on October 17” and the perpetrated “against the Orthodox #Church of Saint Porphyry” on October 19.
#Moscow also condemned the siege of the Strip imposed by Israel.

“the inherent right of all States to individual and collective self-defense,”

What a joke. Like if Iran, Lebanon and Syria have such rights!

Follow-up on the Saint Porphyrius #Church massacre in #Gaza

#IDF justifies the bombing then deletes the justification

To justify this crime, and to claim innocence, the Israeli army released drone footage of the airstrike, showcasing how they didn't actually target the church itself.

In a #tweet that's already deleted by the Israeli army, viewers can see an airstrike just across the church, which caused both material damage to it, collapsed the administration building killing refugees inside, and putting everyone around at risk.

Don't expect any western christian leader to condemn Israeli attack against the #BaptistChurxh in Gaza. And when AlJazeera clearly proved an Israeli fighter jet was flying over the church moments before the explosions, their license to operate in Israel and occupied territories was revoked.
