Pope to Cardinals on why he chose the name Leo XIV: “There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church

Pope Leo XIV to Cardinals: “I am taking up the path of Francis. The legacy of my predecessors is precious, we are servants of God.”

In largely programmatic talk with Cardinals, Leo doesn’t waste time, affirms “complete commitment to the path that the universal Church has now followed for decades in the wake of the Second Vatican Council,” which “Pope Francis masterfully and concretely set it forth in the

Pope Leo XIV appealed to the world's major powers for "no more war" in his first Sunday message to crowds in St. Peter's Square since his election as pontiff. He called for an "authentic" peace in Ukraine, and a ceasefire in Gaza. For Reuters: reuters.com/world/pope-leo…

Oh dear. Another lefty Pope.

Kenmure Street. Four years ago. No strangers in sight.

Four years ago today, one of the proudest moments of my life. Sitting in #KenmureStreet this morning on the anniverary. It was Priti Patel we were fighting that day, its now Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper. Keep standing up, keep fighting back - these are our neighbours!

Our case with Al-Haq الحق has commenced. The UK gov could have chosen not have to fight this in Court. It could comply with law and end the supply of weaponry to Israel today. This morning we learned that Gaza is entering a full-blown famine because of Israel's sadistic siege.

Today, the UK government is being taken to court over arms sales to Israel. We know that arming Israel is morally indefensible. GLAN | Global Legal Action Network and Al-Haq الحق have my full support in proving it is legally indefensible too. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Today, activists faced soldiers at the entrance to the Kirya military base in central Tel Aviv, holding up photos of children murd3red in Gaza in protest against the gen0cide.

This Nakba Day, as Israel continues its horrific genocide against the Palestinian people, we recognise that the Nakba never ended. Today, as the UK is in court for supplying arms to Israel, we need to grow louder our demands for the UK to stop arming Israel.

Nothing to see here , just Labour openly supporting a genocidal regime 😞…

I can't call myself an American and not put my body on the line. For me, our government-funded destruction and slaughter of families living in Gaza is an attack on justice, common decency, and what I had thought was the American way. The American way that Superman used to

No worries. We don’t need you. We’re waiting help from Allah.

People are looking for possible survivors.. Large number of homes have been completely disappeared WITH THEIR INHABITANTS after brutal Israeli bombing of Beit Lahiya and Jabalia since the night!

To everyone who cares about me, I want to reassure you that my family and I are still alive. Due to the ongoing explosions, I haven't been able to access the internet in my area, which is why I’ve been delayed in reaching out to you. I survived by a miracle tonight, and I

📢 Pax Christi International and over 20 NGOs express grave concern over new legislative proposals in Israel that threaten to criminalise dissent, obstruct justice, and silence human rights defenders. We urge the EU to act now! Read our joint statement➡️ paxchristi.net/stopping-israe…
