I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!

At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:
"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

Border Czar @RealTomHoman rejects Pope Francis' immigration critique:
"I’ve got harsh words for the Pope. Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church...He wants to attack us securing our border? He has a wall around the Vatican, does he not?
So he has a wall to protect his people and himself, but we can’t have a wall around the United States?"

Pope Francis slated @realDonaldTrump' border policy
But in Dec the Vatican quietly made a base penalty of betw 1-4yrs in jail & €10k - €25k fine for anyone illegally entering Vatican City state.
Penalties increase if offender uses guns, vehicles, disguises, or is in a group

As a farmer, I have deep concerns about the impact of halal slaughter on animal welfare - it is unnecessarily cruel.
I asked Govt to commission a study on the subject - the answer was due on Jan 16th. I have heard nothing.
My opinion is that Halal slaughter should be banned.

The cruel abuse of this horse by Charlotte Dujardin is horrific and a stain on our nation.
Two urgent questions need answers:
Did she whip horses regularly?
Are dozens or hundreds of other dressage horses regularly whipped and abused by other 'trainers'?
