Entitled “Liberating freedom. Faith and politics in the third millennium”, Pope Francis describes the work as a sort of compass to “understand our present and find a solid orientation for the future.” He elaborates on the main themes touched upon and concludes his preface saying that together with Benedict’s powerful Opera Omnia these writings are also “ a real source of inspiration for political action that, by placing the family, solidarity and equity at the centre of its attention and planning, truly looks to the fu
Amazon kicked out a leading American pro-life organization from its charitable fundraising site this week based on the recommendation of a radical liberal group.

Today on Twitter, the head of the Roman Catholic Church called for a ban on all weapons. Pope Francis asserted that the mere presence of weapons makes us constantly live in fear of war. Other Popes have acknowledged that weapons do indeed create a certain environment of fear.
