Rome, Italy, Mar 15, 2017 / 02:50 am (CNA/EWTN News).- When reports came out recently about Pope Francis’ decision to modify the penalties for several priests found guilty of abusing minors, the question arose as to whether the Pope was being too merciful in his decision.Another concern was whether priests found guilty of abuse of minors would continue to be dismissed from the clerical state, or “laicized.”To address these issues and clear up some of the grey area on this topic, CNA spoke with a canonist, Fr.

Citizens’ deeply held convictions should be reasonably accommodated by their employers.”The court ruled that it is not directly discriminatory for a workplace to ban “any political, philosophical or religious sign.” Any ban must be based on internal company rules requiring neutral dress.Samira Achbita, a receptionist working at the 4GS security company in Belgium, filed the ...
