¿Trump and Kamala? Pope Francis asks all Catholics to pray for politicians in August

In The Pope Video for August, Pope Francis invites us to pray for political leaders, that they might “work for the common good.” In the video message that accompanies his prayer intention, the Pope affirms that even though “politics doesn’t have a very good reputation, it is much more noble than it appears.” The Pope also invites us to thank the “many politicians who carry out their duties with a will to serve, not of power.”

Europe pledges aid to Nigeria in exchange for ideological colonization: Church and Islam speak out

According to the treaty, no country is allowed to deviate from the provisions addressing human rights, sexual and reproductive health, and gender. These controversial issues are not so explicit in the agreement, but once the treaty enters into force it will give the European Union leverage to force changes in Nigeria’s laws and policies to align them with European values.
