Rising Fuel Prices Set Off Anger and Protests Around the World nytimes.com/…15/world/asia/syria-fuel-price-prote… From Indonesia to Guatemala to Syria, shortages and price increases are leading to protests and blackouts. Energy Price Hikes Cause Global Protests By Damien Cave Reporting from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Sept. 15, 2026 Leer en españolThe world is furious — again — over rising energy prices caused by the American-Israeli war against Iran. Since the latest surge pushed oil above $100 a barrel, protesters have burned tires and cars in Guatemala and Syria to express their rage. Portugal’s roads have featured cars crawling in protest with honking horns after diesel reached a record high of more than $9 a gallon. And especially in the developing countries of Asia, which are heavily reliant on Middle Eastern energy and deep in debt from earlier efforts to offset the war’s impacts, transport systems and governments are facing another round of enormous strain. Fuel shortages and …More
“Come back in five years,” she told the man who was walking out on her. He was leaving her with five children. The youngest was still a baby. He had fallen for a much younger woman, someone barely older than his oldest daughter. But leaving wasn’t enough. As he packed up his new life, he took almost everything from the apartment with him: furniture, appliances, dishes, anything he thought had value. When the last boxes disappeared through the front door, the place felt strangely hollow. Every sound echoed off the bare walls. The little boys didn’t seem to mind. They found an old bicycle that had been left behind and rode it from room to room, ringing the tiny bell. Ring-ring. Their mother didn’t cry in front of him. She didn’t beg him to stay, and she didn’t ask for anything back. As he carried another box toward the door, she simply looked at him and said: “Come back in five years. You’ll see. We’ll have everything we need.” And five years later, he did come back. But he was no longer …More
Saint Peter’s Basilica will hold a Lectio Francisci and Eucharist on October 24 - the same date and place requested by the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage for its Mass in the Roman rite. Marking the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’s death, the 3:30 p.m. event features talks on Francis in Rome, his bond with the See of Peter, and fraternity and multiculturalism, with music by the Cappella Musicale Giulia.

450 Thousand El Nino Deaths THAT'S NOT THE FOOD STORY. 451,000 heat deaths. That’s the headline. It is a Climate Impact Lab model of heat. It is not a count of crop failure, drought, fertilizer shortages, diesel costs, shipping disruptions, export bans, or hunger. Yanasa has been tracking those pieces for six months. This video puts them next to the heat number — without adding them together, and without turning a stress test into a forecast. Sources in the description. Watch the harvests. What this video covers : • Climate Impact Lab’s 451,000 additional heat-death projection (model; not peer-reviewed) • Why heat is one pathway — not the whole food-system risk • Hormuz, nitrogen, ammonia/urea/sulfur, and the IEA’s yield warning • Why fertilizer shocks hit with a delay: price → planting → season → harvest → feed → grocery • Jonathan Kelly, From Hormuz to Hunger: independent stress test, 118–225 million probability-weighted range — not a WFP/FAO forecast. Mechanism ≠ mortality scenarios …More

‘LIFE— OF — SAINT CATHARINE OF SIENNA’ BY THE BLESSED RAYMOND OF CAPUA, HER CONFESSOR; 1853 edition; ‘Prologue; pages 19-21 Prologue David, the prophet of Christ, son of Isai the sweet singer of Israel, said, when speaking of the coming of the Messiah: *'Let these things be written unto another generation ; and the people that shall be created, shall praise the Lord." The holy man Job, desiring to announce the Resurrection, exclaimed: **Who will giant that my words may be written ? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book ? with an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint-stone?'* These passages of Holy Writ prove to us that whatever can glorify God and edify men, ought not to be related in one age and in one locality, but should be written down and taught to those who live, or who will live hereafter. Solomon said, Generatio proeterit et generatio advenit (Eccl. i. 4,) One generation goeth, and another cometh. It is not just that …More
"I assure all the readers of this book, in presence of the God of truth, that there is in my narrative neither fiction nor falsehood, and that the facts are as faithfully reported as my weakness would allow. In order to satisfy even the least credulous, I will cite, in the different Chapters, the witnesses of what I relate ; and it will be clearly seen from what source I have drawn what 1 offer to refresh the soul. And as I purpose doing all in the name of the adorable Trinity, I have divided the book Into three parts."
Cardinal McElroy hails Leo XIV’s shift from “unfortunate” Catechism teaching. Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, writing at NcROnline.org on September 23, said that “during the past six months, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in Catholic teaching on war.” McElroy praised the “tremendous progress” made during that period toward “eclipsing the role of the just war tradition in Catholic teaching.” “The just war framework has been distorted to become a source of justification for those inclined to go to war, rather than a constraint on war,” McElroy claimed. Then this: “One of the accelerants for this trend is the unfortunate statement in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that the evaluation of the just war criteria belongs to those who have responsibility for the common good.” The cardinal's statement comes in the wake of Leo XIV’s encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas'. In §192, Leo XIV writes that just-war theory “is now outdated.” However, Catechism 2309 doesn’t say …More
