(Vatican Radio)  The Holy See has called on the international community to protect the rights of unaccompanied migrant children and condemned their detention as a "grave error".The Vatican's Permanent Observer to the UN in Geneva, Archbishop Ivan Jurkovic, made the remarks to the Human Rights Council panel discussion on the rights of unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents."The grave error of the detention model is that it considers the children as sole, isolated subjects responsible for the situations in which they find themselves and over which they have little, if any, control. This model wrongly absolves the international community at large from responsibilities that it regularly fails to fulfill," Archbishop Jurkovic said.He also appealed on behalf of the Holy See for the international community "to protect the dignity and fundamental rights of every person and to implement, without reserve, humanitarian law, principles and polici...

Sam: “Make sure where you are going they don't kidnap you."“We laughed about it,” Fr. Sam recalled.Little did the priests know that the joke would be an unfortunate foreshadowing of what was to come. In a testimony posted on the website of the Jesuit Superiors of Africa and Madagascar, Fr. Sam recalled how his faith carried him through a traumatic and harrowing experience of kidnapping.On his way to the retreat, which was to be in Onitsha, in the state of Anambra, Fr.
