Gloria.TV News on the 26th of May 2014
Victims of the Occupation: Yesterday, Pope Francis had lunch with poor Christian families in Bethlehem. Among them was a family from Ikrit, a village in the North of Galilee that was torn down by the Israeli Army in 1948. Only the Church was spared. Although there are court decisions in their favor the Christian families were never allowed to return to home. Another family represented 58 families whose land was cut off by the Israeli Separation wall.
335 Plates: Today Pope Francis will dine in the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem. The meal is prepared by Jerusalem native chef Joseph Asfour. He has cooked in the past for John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, Yasir Arafat, Tony Blair or Mahmoud Abbas. The meal includes Fish Carpaccio, Lamb Makloubeh or Lemon Mint Sherbet, without omitting the essential hummus. It was previously indicated that the Pope does not take wine. Asfour had to prepare a five-course menu for 67 guests, altogether 335 plates. The time allotted for the meal is exactly 50 minutes.
A fifth of the U.S. parishes do not have a resident priest according to USA Today. America's Catholic population is rising by 1 percent annually, but seminary enrollment is flat. The average age of the priests in the US is 63. Since 1975 the number of priests has dropped by 33 percent. At the same time the nominally Catholic population rose by 43 percent.
A British court has rejected the attempt of Slovakian parents to block the adoption of their two children aged two and four by two homosexuals. Attempting to block the adoption, the couple said in court: “Slovakia does not recognize same sex couples and so their Slovak roots and values will not be maintained.” And: “The children will not be able to be brought up in the Catholic faith because of the conflicts between Catholicism and homosexuality.” The parents will take their case to the European Court of Human Rights.

Euro courts better not find in favor of the Homos!!! Homos have NO NO NO right to adopt children!
This is one of the most evil things in this world. Homos have NO right forming children! It makes me sick to see homos carting around small infants! This is so sick!
