L-Ispeaker faħħar il-ħidma u r-riċerka ta’ Patri Thomas Moore dwar il-qaddis Thomas More u qal li din il-pubblikazzjoni għandha tkun ta’ interess għal dawk interessati fil-politika u li jservu minn din l-istituzzjoni tant prestiġjuża hekk kif fakkar li l-Papa Ġwanni Pawlu II fis-sena 2000, nhar il-31 ta’ Ottubru, kien iddikjara lil dan il-qaddis bħala l-Patrun tal-Politiċi u tal-Istatisti…

The Vatican has announced it is opening two tombs within a cemetery on Holy See territory to see if Emanuela Orlandi, the teenage girl who went missing 36 years ago, is buried there.

The two tombs are to be opened on 11 July, interim director of the Holy See Press Office, Alessandro Gisotti, confirmed on Tuesday.
