the fetishisation in America today of war, combat, troops, and ultimately death. The Church should say something on this. It is a Bonhoeffer moment not less than it is for the immigration issue.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth and others in this administration are those that come from a certain type of entertainment culture. Politics has become divorced from culture - books and the arts and even journalism: first politics allied itself with entertainment television, then expanded to social media.

One of the consequences of this war is that some people around the world will truly believe that the Jesus Christ of ALL Christians is the one of Trump, Hegseth, Vance, Mike Johnson, and the circus of preachers around the White House.

la posizione del Vaticano sulla guerra in Iran e nella regione non sta raggiungendo il mondo perchè non raggiunge i media non cattolici, neanche in America al tempo del papa 'born in the USA'.
Per esempio, sul NYT l'ultimo articolo che riporta notizie di papa Leone XIV Γ¨ del 25 febbraio.

Cardinal Parolin: Preventive wars risk setting the world ablaze - Vatican News Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin speaks to Vatican News about events in the Middle East, warning of a dangerous rise of multipolarism marked ...

The situation is so tragically serious that today the Vatican Secretary of State invokes Immanuel Kant (for a long time viewed as a direct threat to Catholic doctrine) in this interview: β€œA violation of right in one part of the world is felt in all parts.” www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-c...

the situation in Iran and the Middle East is such that the question of the long-term interreligious relations in the region AND globally (esp. Jews, Muslims, and Christians) has been completely relegated to the background.

Trump wants to punish Spain. One American who will keep his relationship with Spain is the pope - papal trip to Spain coming soon

AI is now in the war room. The Pentagon is using advanced tools β€” blurring the line between human control and machine decision-making. So who’s really making the call? Peter Devlin takes a look

Macron show of force made me think about one of the candidates of the 2025 conclave, cardinal of Marseille - we might have gad a French pope.
It would be interesting to make a list of cardinals from nuclear-weapon countries and of cardinals from countries neighboring with nuclear-weapon countries

una delle differenze tra gli USA e l'Iran oggi Γ¨ che per certi versi l'Iran Γ¨ piΓΉ secolarizzato dell'America

Circa l'Iran: anche chi comanda nell'America di oggi ha in mente una teocrazia, a suo modo.
Quello di Hegseth e Vance e Trump Γ¨ un universalismo ateo rispetto ai dogmi di fede che dice di proclamare.
Povero Tocqueville.

c'e' un evidente nichilismo e ateismo istituzionale nella teologia e fede politica praticata e predicata da Vance

I mean, the new - major strike - has at this point ensured US embassies are being targeted. Militia tried to storm it in Bahrain, pro-Iranian protesters tried to storm US embassy in Pakistan and 8 people died.

si puΓ² capire la scelta vaticana di nominare i paesi bombardati e di non nominare quelli che bombardano: il problema Γ¨ che non oltrepassa la soglia di quello che fa notizia.
