Angola’s Archbishop Emeritus of Lubango,  Archbishop Zacarias Kamwenho celebrated this year’s Pentecost Sunday in the Cathedral of St. Joseph, Lubango.In his homily, Archbishop Kamwenho told the faithful that the celebration of Pentecost was about the renewal of their commitment to building a better society and community, according to the charisms of the Holy Spirit."When we celebrate the feast of Pentecost, what happens to us is that we release the Holy Spirit (received during the Sacrament of Confirmation). This is precisely the same Holy Spirit that the Apostles received and which they transmitted to us. We now have the responsibility of passing it on to others. The Holy Spirit, in turn, asks of every one of us to build a better society or community -right where we live," Archbishop Kamwenho said. Upon reaching the age of 75, in 2009, the Pope accepted the resignation from the pastoral governance of the Archdiocese of Lubango presented by Archbis...
Rome, Italy, Jun 5, 2017 / 11:40 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Last week the Order of Malta hosted diplomats and politicians from throughout Europe for a discussion on the effects of violent conflict on children.Participants said the topic is increasingly urgent since children all over the world are growing up surrounded by war.“It’s self-explanatory that the well-being of children is key for the future of humanity, and on the other hand the first victims of conflicts, of disasters, of any kind of turmoil, are the weakest in society, and these are women and children,” Order of Malta Grand Chancellor Albrecht von Boeselager told CNA.Because of this, he said the order tries to concentrate the relief they give to “the weakest...especially, children.”Providing educational opportunities and psychological care for children affected by violent conflict are among the top priorities “because the lack of education and the effect of traumas very often have very long-...

Rome, Italy, Jun 5, 2017 / 01:42 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Adorning the crypts hidden among Rome’s catacombs are frescoes which reveal 1,600 year-old history, as well as the life of early Christians, which are regaining vividness through new technology.The paintings had been masked by a veil of algae and calcium deposits, and blackened by the smoke of oil lamps until lasers were used to strip the paintings of centuries of grime without damaging their integrity.“Until recently, we weren’t able to carry out this sort of restoration – if we had done it manually we would have risked destroying the frescoes,” said the head of the restoration project, Barbara Mazzei, in a comment to The Telegraph May 30.“When we started work, you couldn’t see anything – it was totally black. Different wavelengths and chromatic selection enabled us to burn away the black disfiguration without touching the colors beneath.”About a dozen crypts out of the 70 bu...
Washington D.C., Jun 5, 2017 / 02:08 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The Supreme Court of the United States, in an 8-0 decision on Monday, ruled that the pension plans of religious hospitals meet religious exemptions from costly regulations.“The Supreme Court got it right,” Eric Rassbach, deputy general counsel at Becket, a legal firm which filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the Catholic health care networks, stated June 5. “Churches – not government bureaucrats and certainly not ambulance chasers – should decide whether hospitals are part of the church.”Justice Elena Kagan delivered the opinion of the Court in Advocate Health Care Network v. Stapleton, a consolidation of three cases involving religious hospitals like St. Peter’s HealthCare System in New Jersey and Advocate Health Care Network. Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a concurring opinion.Justice Neil Gorsuch, the newest member of the Court, did not join in the ruling as he had not y...
