31/07/2026

Archbishop Charles Scicluna has appealed for common sense and cooperation between authorities over the growing presence of burlesque-style performances in the streets of Valletta, warning that turning the historic capital’s roads into what he called a “burdell” – a brothel – does no good to anyone.

Speaking by telephone to the programme Għal Kulħadd, presented by Christine Delicata on RTK103, the Archbishop was asked about the controversy surrounding performances staged near the Church of Ta’ Ġieżu, run by the Franciscan friars, which has drawn public criticism after footage of a dancer on the church steps circulated widely on social media… Read more »

Pope Leo’s speeches on peace in a new book

29/07/2026

Ritratt: Vatican Media

Mill-ewwel ġurnata tal-pontifikat tiegħu nhar it-8 ta’ Mejju 2025, il-Papa Ljun XIV ħeġġeġ lil kulħadd biex iħabrek għall-paċi, liema paċi tiġi minn Kristu Rxoxt.
