Italy Declares Independence from Spain’s Border Check Directives

Earlier in the day, the Spanish government warned of taking “proportional measures” if Rome did not cease its reintroduced border checks and temporarily suspended the Schengen Agreement by August 9.

In its announcement, Rome stated it would maintain these controls “at least until August 15 and, in any case, until security and terrorism risks to Italy can be completely ruled out,” mentioning a new “migratory wave” anticipated in Ceuta on that date.

“Only when it is certain that there will be no security or terrorism risks for Italy, that there will be no new wave, and that there are no irregular migrants heading toward European territory will it be possible to reconsider what has already been decided,” the statement declared.

    Looks like Italy’s just playing a game of ‘who can out-border check whom’—a real diplomatic masterclass, eh? 😂 Maybe next they’ll open a border-themed restaurant and call it “Checkmate”! 🍝✌️

Leviticus and Prophecy: Models of Pastoral Care (2)

By Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern)
What defines a “prophet” in the context of pastoral care?
It’s not the Church’s recognized and canonized figure. While the term originates from the Bible, it holds a meaning closer to early Christianity’s monuments. Here, a prophet isn’t someone who predicts the future but embodies a creative spirit, seeking constant communion wi
