The ultimatum, issued by the Archbishop, states that if the kidnapped priest is not released, all parishes, schools, and Catholic institutions in the Ndop Deanery — in the northern part of the diocese where the kidnapping took place –, will be closed.

Romanian and Moldovan Orthodox Christians in conflict

As has been the case in Kiev for some time, there is also conflict in Chişinău between the Orthodox Church of Moldova – linked to the Moscow Patriarchate – and the Metropolis of Bessarabia, which belongs to the Romanian-speaking Church. The Patriarchate of Bucharest itself accuses pro-Russian hierarchs of interfering in the country’s electoral processes. A dispute that brings to the surface the troubled area between the Danube and the Dniester.

This is the surprising museum dedicated to the Holy Shroud that opened in the United States

The project is the result of a collaboration between Papaian Studios, the Diocese of Orange and Othonia, Inc., a research initiative connected to the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, of the Legionaries of Christ in Rome. Othonia has already developed Shroud exhibitions in several countries, but this is its most ambitious attempt, combining scientific material, devotional art and immersive media on a scale inspired by contemporary blockbuster exhibitions like those dedicated to Van Gogh or King Tut.
