After Pope Francis: The Future Of The Catholic Church

 


With the death of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church stands at a pivotal moment. As 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide mourn a pope who redefined the tone and priorities of the papacy, the question now becomes not simply who will succeed him—but which direction the Church will take in his absence.

Over his 12-year pontificate, Francis reshaped global Catholicism in ways that went far beyond Rome. He championed a “Church of the poor,” shifted the focus from doctrinal rigidity to pastoral care, and encouraged greater local autonomy through synodality—a more consultative and decentralized model of governance. He challenged Catholics to care for the environment, open their hearts to migrants, and reimagine the role of the Church in a fractured world.

Now, those reforms hang in the balance.

IRMÃ DULCE, a Santa Dulce dos Pobres

 

 

Nascida em Salvador, em 26 de maio de 1914, a futura Santa Dulce dos Pobres foi batizada como Maria Rita de Sousa Brito Lopes Pontes, foi uma freira brasileira e santa da Igreja Católica, lembrada por suas obras de caridade e assistência aos pobres e necessitados, tanto que foi apelidada Anjo bom da Bahia.

Em 2011 foi beatificada pelo enviado especial do Papa Bento XVI, Dom Geraldo Majella Agnelo, em Salvador, e canonizada em 13 de outubro de 2019 pelo papa Francisco com o título de Santa Dulce dos Pobres, sendo a primeira santa nascida no Brasil.

O Anjo Bom da Bahia viveu até os 77 anos, morrendo em 13 de março de 1992, em Salvador.

Irmã Dulce ganhou notoriedade por suas obras de caridade e de assistência aos pobres e necessitados, obras essas que ela praticava desde muito cedo. Na juventude já lotava a casa de seus pais acolhendo doentes.

Alô Comunidade! A seguir há uma informação muito importante para vocês.

 

 

Infelizmente existem em nossa comunidade pessoas que podem ser taxadas de “gente do mal”, que têm inveja do sucesso de outras pessoas e/ou de eventos de sucesso da comunidade.

Os Estados Unidos inteiro, o resto do mundo e onde existe uma comunidade brasileira e pessoas amantes do nosso Brasil, sabem muito bem que O EVENTO OFICIAL DO BRAZILIAN DAY POR 36 ANOS sempre foi feito na Little Brazil, West 46th Street, onde todos os anos se reúnem mais de 1.5 milhão pessoas e que, em 2019, chegamos ao recorde de ter mais de 2 milhões de pessoas reunidas para ver e ouvir o melhor da música brasileira.

O nome “Brazilian Day” não pode ser patenteado, mas “Brazilian Day in New York” sim, e este é 100 % patenteado.

Um “brasileiro”, que eu não sei quem é, nem onde tem seu escritório, está fazendo, segundo ele, o Brazilian Day Official.

As Viagens Internacionais Para Os EUA Realmente Entraram Em Colapso?

 

 

Entre uma guerra comercial global, vistos cancelados e turistas detidos na fronteira, os sinais dos Estados Unidos têm sido tudo menos convidativos para potenciais visitantes.

Muitos veículos de comunicação relataram quedas extraordinárias no número de visitantes internacionais durante o novo governo Trump, especialmente da Europa.

Mas, apesar de alguns sinais preocupantes, uma análise mais atenta dos dados mostra que as viagens para os Estados Unidos estão se mantendo em grande parte — pelo menos até agora.

Rio De Janeiro Becomes World Book Capital

 

 

In April, the Marvelous City celebrated the official opening of Rio de Janeiro as the World Book Capital, a title granted to the city by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The last cities selected by UNESCO were Sharjah (2019), Kuala Lumpur (2020), Tbilisi (2021), Guadalajara (2022), Accra (2023) and Strasbourg (2024).

Over the course of a year, Rio will have an agenda of events and actions aimed at formulating new public reading policies. The city government has highlighted the Book Biennial, from June 13 to 22, and a special edition of the Jabuti Prize, that will be held for the first time in Rio de Janeiro.
