Over the years, Christians in Nigeria particularly from the Northern part of the country faced severe persecutions due to the activities of the extremist groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Province (ISWAP).

This persecution is deeply rooted in historical tensions stemming from Nigeria’s colonial past, where religious divisions were exploited for political control, leading to long-standing grievances between the predominantly Muslim north and the largely Christian south. As a result, violent incidents targeting Christian communities have become alarmingly common, resulting in loss of life, displacement and widespread trauma among affected populations.

However, in recent years there is a rising tide of violence against the Christians in the southern part of the country which was once considered relatively safe. The growing crisis raises urgent questions about the insecurities facing Christian communities and the inability of the Nigerian government to protect its citizens.

Italia, Slovacchia – Nelle affollate strade di Milano, dove la storia si mescola con il mondo moderno, si svolgeva due decenni fa una storia che oggi ispira migliaia di giovani in tutto il mondo. Carlo Acutis, all’apparenza un normale adolescente italiano con una passione per i computer e la tecnologia, è diventato un modello di vita cristiana nell’era digitale.

As the Catholic Church celebrates the Jubilee Year 2025 under the theme ‘Pilgrimage of Hope,’ thousands of pilgrims from all over the world arrive to Rome to partake in the sacred events, including entering the Holy Doors of the city’s four basilicas. Their enthusiasm, however, is tempered with concern for Pope Francis, who recently faced a significant health challenge. Having been hospitalized in February, the Pope’s recovery journey has inspired prayers and hope among the faithful

Misinformation has become a predominant theme in contemporary discourse, particularly in the context of social media platforms. Social media information and misinformation can spread at an unprecedented pace, making it challenging for readers to discern credible news from fabrications. For instance, during times of crisis or high public interest, misleading narratives can quickly take hold, overshadowing factual information.

Year after year, millions of visitors from all over the world descend on Rome to find epic masterpieces through the lens of their compulsion. Squatted against the Colosseum, monument of grandeur they are side lopped by the Pantheon. The cash will drain into Travi Foutain and as they pit themselves in the city’s depths farther, one finds something more attractive; even if it is Holy See, St. Peter’s Basilica or the bleak Sistine Chapel of course they are really Cathedral. The shift inaugurates a whole new order in the work.

¿Sabía que en Roma se encuentra el único museo del mundo dedicado a las almas del purgatorio?

A escasos cien metros del castillo de Sant’Angello, siguiendo el curso del rio Tiber, dirección al Tribunal de Casación, se alza majestuosa una fachada completamente blanca, que evoca más a una Iglesia francesa del siglo XIX que a las grandiosas basílicas que pueblan la ciudad de Roma.

Este es quizás el primer dato curioso, pues la Iglesia de Sacro Cuore in Suffraggio es una de las pocas en toda la ciudad que conservan el estilo neogótico. Sin embargo, por muy llamativa que sea su arquitectura, esta no es la mayor sorpresa que guarda este templo.  Ni siquiera cuando atravesamos la puerta y contemplamos el precioso retablo, o sus altares laterales con referencias a los ángeles custodios, a san Gregorio VII o a Santa Margarita María de Alacoque… No, todo ayuda, pero el mayor secreto que custodian las paredes de este templo no es de este mundo.
