Rivelato uno scambio di email di due anni fa fra scienziati e Anthony Fauci: "Basta parlare dell'ipotesi incidente di laboratorio, danneggerebbe la scienza in Cina e l'armonia internazionale". Si sono comportati come un cartello...==============
Years ago, we learned of an area in Kenya that earned the title of "little Mogadishu" due to the influx of fundamentalist Somali Muslims in the region. Over time, there was an uptick in violence as the Somali Muslims began to clash with the Kenyan Christians.
It was in this town where we recently encountered a Christian man who had recently left behind his Muslim faith. For this decision, he, his wife, and their children were ostracized by their extended family and the local Muslim community. His Muslim boss also fired him from the barbershop where he worked.
We came alongside this new believer to set him up with his own barbershop. With this small business, he will be able to support his family with dignity and without fear of being fired for his faith. Thank you for joining hands with us as we support our newfound brothers and sisters in Christ.

Corrispondenza romana n. 1725 del 12 gennaio 2022
La santità, unica soluzione alla crisi del nostro tempoLa crisi del nostro tempo è ormai passata dal campo culturale e morale a quello psicologico, intendendo la psicologia, nel suo significato etimologico, che è quello di “scienza dell’anima”. Se la morale stabilisce le leggi del comportamento umano, la psicologia indaga la vita conoscitiva e affettiva dell’uomo. L’uomo è un composto di anima e di corpo e l’anima, che è il principio vitale del corpo, ha due facoltà primarie, l’intelligenza e la volontà. In quanto essere corporeo l’uomo è anche dotato di sensi interni ed esterni che partecipano al suo processo conoscitivo. Quando le facoltà …
La robotica, una nuova forma di sovversione dell’ordine del creato
Si chiama Ameca e, come hanno ammesso i suoi creatori che lavorano per la società di robotica Engineered Arts, è sicuramente «l’umanoide più avanzato finora realizzato». Su Corriere.tv è stato pubblicato un video in cui è possibile vederlo in azione. Il video vale più di mille parole. Ameca segue con gli occhi il dito di un ricercatore che si muove davanti a lui, presenta espressioni facciali molto realistiche, si ritrae se qualcosa si avvicina troppo a lui e addirittura afferra una mano che cerca di toccarlo. Il tutto con movenze fluide e non meccaniche. “Spaventoso” …
Lima, l’«apostasia silenziosa» avanzaPovera Chiesa! Sempre più è giusto interrogarsi su cosa stia accadendo. L’ultimo episodio clamoroso in ordine di tempo risale all’omelia, pronunciata nella IV domenica di Avvento da mons. Carlos Castillo, arcivescovo di Lima e primate del Perù, secondo cui in croce la morte di Gesù non sarebbe stata il «sacrificio di un olocausto», giungendo così a negare quanto chiaramente affermato dalla dottrina cattolica. L’art. 606 del Catechismo, infatti, precisa come sia «il Figlio di Dio disceso dal cielo non per fare la Sua volontà, ma quella di Colui che l’ha mandato (…). Ed è appunto per …

Abortion leading global cause of death in 2021 with 43 million killedAs of noon on December 31, 2021, there were 42.6 million abortions performed in the course of the year, Worldometer revealed, while 8.2 million people died from cancer, 5 million from smoking, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, 1.3 million from traffic fatalities, and 1 million from suicide.

Saggio sul principio generatore delle costituzioni politiche e delle altre istituzioni umane
di Joseph de Maistre
“In reazione alla profluvie di letteratura illuminista che, a partire soprattutto dalla seconda metà del secolo XVIII, inonda la Francia concimando il terreno per la successiva esplosione rivoluzionaria, fiorisce tuttavia una letteratura di opposta tendenza di cui il Saggio sul principio generatore delle costituzioni politiche di Joseph de Maistre, composto nel 1809 e pubblicato a Pietroburgo e a Parigi nel 1814, costituisce una delle espressioni più felici. L’opera di de Maistre non è un trattato sistematico di filosofia politica, ma un saggio rivolto contro una determinata categoria di avversari, i fabbricatori di costituzioni a tavolino, gli ideologi rivoluzionari che, disprezzando la lezione della storia e dell’esperienza, avevano preteso elaborare un modello puramente astratto delle strutture sociali e politiche. Opera dunque felicemente reattiva, dove l’autore non si limita a una reazione polemica, ma risale alle cause più lontane, penetra le conseguenze ultime, arriva a riscoprire il valore positivo di elementi la cui verità maggiore non è soltanto polemica, ma può e deve essere più ampiamente riconquistata” (dall’Introduzione di Roberto de Mattei).

Planned Parenthood, ACLU attempt to block Ohio law requiring burial of aborted babies' remains
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a new complaint against Ohio over a state law that, among other things, requires the proper cremation or burial of aborted babies’ remains. Freda Levenson, legal director for the ACLU of Ohio, said in a statement released Friday that she believed the law would have “a devastating impact on the ability of patients to have autonomy over their own lives.” Meanwhile, Mark Harrington, president of the pro-life group Created Equal, said, "Laws requiring aborted babies to receive a dignified final disposition in some ways pose a bigger threat than many abortion bans do ... Because abortionists are the dregs of medicine, they will be unable to comply with these new regulations. That is why the abortion industry is fighting so hard to challenge this law.”

Coptic Christian released after 2 years in pretrial detention
Religious freedom advocacy organizations are praising the Egyptian government for releasing from detention a Coptic Christian activist who has spoken out against the mistreatment faced by Coptic Christians in the country. Ramey Kamel was released from prison Saturday for what the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and the advocacy group Coptic Solidarity described as “spurious” charges. Although advocacy groups praised the move, they have also stated that Egypt has a long way to go to ensure equal treatment of Coptic Christians under the law.

Op-ed: Don’t let Biden off the hook for the disaster he left in Afghanistan
"The media has largely moved on from the Afghanistan debacle, and many are all too eager to sweep the consequences of President Biden’s botched withdrawal under the rug. Yet, the repercussions will last lifetimes," Arielle Del Turco writes. In this op-ed, Del Turco discusses why people should not forget about what happened with Afghanistan and the travesties that continue. "Countless Afghan girls and female university students have been kept at home and out of school since the Taliban’s return. For many, their dreams were put on hold in 2021, perhaps permanently," Del Turco explains, also pointing out that many Americans remain stuck in Afghanistan, Afghan allies are not being provided the protection they were promised, and human suffering abounds.

Hi Friend,
As we enter the final months of 2021, we want to know: How are you doing?
In the midst of ongoing injustice, rising rates of extreme poverty, disasters and mass displacement, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You may have begun to wonder, is it even possible to create lasting change? I want to respond to Jesus’ call to love and serve the vulnerable. Does anyone else?
We understand how you feel.

Hi Friend,
As we enter the final months of 2021, we want to know: How are you doing?
In the midst of ongoing injustice, rising rates of extreme poverty, disasters and mass displacement, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You may have begun to wonder, is it even possible to create lasting change? I want to respond to Jesus’ call to love and serve the vulnerable. Does anyone else?
We understand how you feel.
And yet, in Acts chapter 17, the apostle Paul writes that
and the very places where each of us exists. That’s a powerful thought! And that’s why we invite you to join us as we pause and reflect through the Advent season this year.
JOURNEY WITH US THROUGH ADVENT
In this four-part devotional series, we’ll journey together through the themes of HOPE, PEACE, FAITH and JOY. As we pause to connect with God and one another, we’ll be renewed and reminded that Jesus — God with us, Emmanuel — is still inviting us to be his hands and feet in the world today.
Here’s what to expect when you sign-up:
A live kick-off event on December 1st to gather with others from across the World Relief community
Weekly devotionals from voices across World Relief sharing prayer, scripture and reflection resources
Weekly activities for families to participate together
Surprise pre-Advent resources to inspire and prepare your heart
Creating change that lasts isn’t easy, but it’s possible when we move together. Will you join us?
Moving Towards Change Together,
