Watch movie Just Mercy for free

Last updated on: June 16, 2020 at 2:12 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Much is being said and written about the events of these past few weeks. Some state that systemic racism does not exist, others that it does. Some say that not everything that happens is fueled by racism while others decry “racism” for the slightest offence. I recently watched the movie Just Mercy which is based on the true story of Harvard trained lawyer Bryan Stevenson who in the late 1980s went to Alabama to fight for inmates on death row. ...

En búsqueda de la justicia

Last updated on: June 12, 2020 at 1:23 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Crecí en medio de disturbios y conflicto social. Hasta cumplir los nueve años, coches bomba, toques de queda, asesinatos, puntos de control militares, secuestros y apagones eran comunes. A finales de la década de 1980, la ciudad donde vivía estaba bajo asedio. En 1991, la violencia forzó que mi familia salga del Perú, y esta continuó aun durante varios años. Estas últimas semanas han sido turbulentas con protestas, disturbios, violencia y muerte en los titulares. Como cuando era niño, todo... Read more

Seeking Justice

Last updated on: June 11, 2020 at 12:18 pm By Father Pablo Migone

I grew up in the midst of social unrest. Until I was nine years old, car bombs, curfews, murders, military roadblocks, kidnappings, and blackouts were common. By the late 1980s, the city where I lived was under siege. In 1991, the violence and turmoil forced my family out of Peru, and continued to rage for many years. The last few weeks have been turbulent with protests, riots, violence, and death plastered all over the headlines. As when I was a... Read more

Viganò speaks from hiding, calls Archbishop false shepherd

Last updated on: June 3, 2020 at 4:44 pm By Father Pablo Migone

This afternoon, I read a message Archbishop Viganò sent to the faithful of the Archdiocese of Washington D.C. Even if the content of the message is true, it is out of line for a prelate to openly address the faithful of the diocese of another. He is sticking his nose where it does not belong. I have never mentioned Viganò in my blog, but I decided to do so today. He has rightly been critical of McCarrick and other American bishops, yet... Read more

Archbishop Wilton Gregory on President’s Visit to Catholic Shrine

Last updated on: June 2, 2020 at 11:55 am By Father Pablo Migone

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Here is a statement from Washington Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory regarding the planned visit today from the president at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine: “I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of... Read more

ATLANTA–Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., Archbishop of Atlanta, issued the following statement May 29 in the wake of several incidents of racial violence and protests which followed: “The sin of racism continues to haunt America. In the past month, we have watched two black men die—one of them as he begged for his life. We wake this morning to face the outpouring of grief and rage over the latest manifestations of racism in America. In Atlanta, the birthplace of... Read more

La Iglesia Católica en Georgia y Monseñor Hartmayer

Last updated on: May 29, 2020 at 10:41 am By Father Pablo Migone

Cuando el primer congreso católico de Georgia se llevó a cabo en Augusta el 2 de abril, 1826, sólo tres iglesias existían en el estado, entre ellas la Purificación de la Santísima Virgen María cerca de Sharon, San Juan Bautista en Savannah, y San Patricio en Augusta. Cuando la Diócesis de Savannah fue creada con la división de la Diócesis de Charleston en 1850, su primer obispo Monseñor Gartland sólo tenía 5.500 almas católicas bajo su cuidado pastoral en todo...

Catholic Georgia and Archbishop Hartmayer

Last updated on: May 28, 2020 at 10:27 pm By Father Pablo Migone

When the first convention of the Catholic Church in Georgia was held in Augusta on April 2, 1826, only three churches operated in the state, among them the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary near Sharon, Saint John the Baptist in Savannah, and Saint Patrick in Augusta. When the Diocese of Savannah was carved out from the Diocese of Charleston in 1850, Bishop Gartland only had 5,500 Catholic souls under his pastoral care in the whole state. As the number...

Knights of Columbus rejoice: Father McGivney to be beatified

Last updated on: May 27, 2020 at 10:47 am By Father Pablo Migone

On May 26, 2020, Pope Francis received in an audience Cardinal Angelo Becciu, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and during the audience the Holy Father approved miracles attributed to the intercession of Father Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, and Blessed Charles de Foucauld. This means that in the near future, Father McGivney will be beatified, and Blessed Charles will be canonized. Miracles attributed to six other holy men and women were approved after... Read more

When did wearing a mask become a political statement?

Last updated on: May 26, 2020 at 3:31 pm By Father Pablo Migone

For me, wearing a mask is the difference between breathing normally and having an asthma attack – an uncontrollable coughing fit until it becomes extremely difficult to breathe. A mask helps me on an airplane, on a bus, in the theater, while standing in line, and many other places where I am close to other people. Many fragrances and smoke are definite triggers. For me, wearing a mask is not useless or any kind of statement. A mask allows me... Read more
