He was very good to the guys in the school. He was like everyone’s grandfather. He was a very kind, good priest.” “He kept an active concern for people even after he retired to Florida,” he added. “He was very close to his nieces and nephews.” Survivors include his sister Fannie Sciolto of Fort Myers, Fla.

Cuban American Bishops Express Solidarity, Call for Humanitarian Aid
Cuban American bishops express solidarity, call for humanitarian aid WASHINGTON (CNS) — Four Cuban American bishops called on the international community to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Cuba and expressed solidarity with them following protests that erupted on the island nation starting July 11. “We call on international governments and all charitable organizations to collaborate in assisting in this urgent humanitarian crisis for the sake of the suffering people of Cuba, especially the sick and the poor,” they wrote in a joint statement July 13. It was signed by four bishops who were born on the island or have Cuban heritage: Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez of Philadelphia; Auxiliary Bishop Manuel A. Cruz of Newark, New Jersey; Bishop Felipe J. Estevez of St. Augustine, Florida; and retired Auxiliary Bishop Octavio Cisneros of Brooklyn, New York. “We commend the care of Caritas Cubana, as it continues to mediate — with ever so limited resources — a response to the basic human needs of the people of the island, recognizing that the alleviation of suffering is a moral imperative,” they said in the letter. Despite the threat of COVID-19, which is ravaging the island, Cubans took to the streets of various major cities and towns to protest the lack of food and medicine. “In dramatic and courageous images that have been seen throughout the world, the people of Cuba went to the streets in massive demonstrations of solidarity, in towns, villages and cities on July 11 and 12,” the four U.S. bishops said. “Their motto ‘Patria y Vida‘ (‘Homeland and Life’) expressed their frustrations as they experience record cases of COVID-19, a lack of vaccines, adequate medical care and needed supplies — inhuman circumstances that add to the existing lack of food and essential human necessities,” their letter continued.

With the bishops and episcopal conferences in Latin America and the Caribbean, we have been strengthening relationships and providing support for pastoral projects in the region. The Catholic faith is deeply rooted in the culture of the region, but the Church faces real chal- lenges due to violence, drug traffi cking, and poverty. In 1965, what is now the Subcommittee on the Church in Latin America was formed to forge relationships with and provide support to our brothers and sisters in Latin America and the Caribbean to live out their faith. The faithful support of Catholics in the United States to the annual parish collection to benefi t this region is truly an inspira- tion and a source of hope as we continue to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.
