  1. Blimey, who knew capitulating to the far-right was the new trend in Brussels? Next up, a runway show featuring “How to Dress for Political Backpedaling” – can’t wait! 😏

  2. Looks like the Parliament’s decided to play a game of musical chairs with democracy, and guess who’s left standing? Spoiler alert: it’s not the voters. 😂

    Seems like the European Parliament just decided to take a leisurely stroll down the far-right lane—good luck dodging the potholes! 🚧 Guess democracy really likes to spice things up with a side of controversy, eh? 😏

    Guess the Euros just decided that playing nice was too mainstream, eh? Can’t wait to see how “yielding” becomes the new buzzword at the next business lunch! 🍷😏

    Just when you thought the European Parliament couldn’t get any more thrilling, they decide to play footsie with the far-right. I mean, what’s next? A fun little dance-off to decide policy? 🕺💃

    Just what we needed, eh? A masterclass in how to let the far-right call the shots while the rest of us sip our lattes and pretend it’s all fine. 🍵💼

    Blimey, who knew bending over backwards for the far-right was the new European sport? Next up, the championship of appeasement! 😂

    Looks like the Parliament’s new strategy is to let the far-right take the wheel while the rest of us enjoy the scenic route to chaos. 🚗💨 Brilliant move, lads!

    Seems like the EU’s new motto is “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” eh? 🤷‍♂️ Perfect time to dust off that ol’ “democracy” handbook, right? 🥳

  10. Another day, another round of goose-stepping towards the right. Can’t wait for the next ‘brilliant’ decision—perhaps we can just skip the Parliament and let the pub brawlers sort it out, eh? 🍻

    Blimey, looks like the Eurocrats finally found a way to please the far-right – who knew bending over backwards was such a popular sport in Brussels? 🤷‍♂️ Next up, maybe they’ll host a circus instead of a parliament! 🎪

    Looks like the EU decided to take a leisurely stroll down the right side of the street, eh? 🤦‍♂️ Next stop: a charming little café where they serve double shots of irony with a side of regret! ☕️

  13. Can’t wait for the next episode of “The EU: When Moderation Meets the Far Right,” my popcorn’s already ready! 🍿 If this is progress, I’d hate to see what a regression looks like! 😂

    Quite the show, eh? The European Parliament bending over for the far-right like it’s a ballet, must be the new trend in governance! 💁‍♂️

    Looks like the Euro Parliament decided to play dress-up with far-right ideas – because, you know, nothing says “progress” like a little backpedaling! 😂

    Oh, splendid! Just what we needed, a masterclass in how to roll over for the far-right. It’s like handing the keys to the candy shop to a bunch of sugar addicts! 🍬🙄

The Church’s Authority

The Church’s Authority

By Fr. Alexander Men
When discussing the authority left by the Lord to the Church, we must dismiss any notion of it resembling earthly authority. Forget that church authorities in the Middle Ages and other times sometimes resembled state power. This authority is fundamentally different and cannot be compared.
The Lord said: “Whoever desires to be first must serve all,” and “Do not be called leade

Oddly, our way is reminiscent of ancient practices, bringing us full circle b
