25/07/2019

  • As the leader of the Catholic Church in the entire world, one would assume that Pope Francis receives a generous salary in compensation for his many duties. However, the truth is quite the opposite.

    In 2001 there were rumors that St John Paul II made a decent salary, but the New York Times reported, “Vatican spokesman, Joaquín Navarro-Valls, ended speculation about the pope’s salary, saying, ‘The pope does not and has never received a salary.’”

    This would be even more true for Francis, who, as a member of the Society of Jesus, professed a vow of poverty when he first entered his religious community…

ŻAK Summer Camp 2019: ÆFFECT

23/07/2019

  • Valur importanti li jinsab anke fl-isem taż-ŻAK huwa propju l-azzjoni. Fl-istess ħin iż-ŻAK ma tistax tkun aljenata għar-realtajiet li tkun għaddejja minnhom is-soċjetà, u huma fuq dawn ir-realtajiet li trid tieħu azzjoni. Kien għalhekk li meta bdejna naħsbu għat-tema tal-kamp annwali tas-sajf, ma stajniex nagħlqu għajnejna għall-kriżijiet ambjentali kif ukoll soċjali li l-dinja hija għaddejja minnhom. Ħsibna li permezz ta’ Kamp Sajf kull membru mhux biss jagħraf x’inhuma l-problemi li s-soċjetà ta’ madwaru għaddejja minnhom, imma wkoll iħoss responsabbiltà u jieħu azzjoni biex jieħu ħsieb din id-dar komuni li lkoll ngħixu fiha…
