Stqarrija mill-Moviment ta’ Kana dwar l-iffriżar tal-embrijuni

  • Il-Moviment ta’ Kana jemmen illi jekk il-proposti dwar l-iffriżar tal-Embrjuni jidħlu fis-seħħ tkun qed tinfetaħ it-triq għall-legalizazzjoni tal-abort.

    L-iffriżar tal-Embrjuni hu inkompatibbli mar-rispett u d-dinjità li biha għandha tiġi trattata il-ħajja umana sa mit-tnissil. 

    L-esperjenza ta’ pajjiżi oħra turi illi fejn jitħalla jsir l-Iffrizar tal-Embrjuni,  jiġri li numru kbir ta’ ħajjiet umani jinqerdu wara li jagħmlu għadd ta’ snin iffrizati…

Il-Papa Franġisku milqugħ mill-President Obama fl-Istati Uniti

  • Pope Francis has arrived. His flight landed at Joint Base Andrews (formerly known as Andrews Air Force Base), shortly after 3:30 PM local time in the US state of Maryland.

    The welcome ceremony – otherwise little more than a simple observance of only the most absolutely necessary protocol – was punctuated by two particularly poignant elements: the first was the presence of the President of the United States, Barack Obama – and his family – to greet his nation’s guest; the second was the Spanish  language alongside English, in which the gathered crowd – some hundreds of young people from Washington, DC area schools among them – cheered their welcome…
