Pope Francis celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in Rome

Description

Recently recovered from a bout of ill-health, Pope Francis marks the feast of the Immaculate Conception with a ceremony on the Piazza di Spagna in central Rome, where he is greeted by a substantial crowd of well-wishers and worshippers. The 86-year-old Argentine pontiff offers a prayer to the Virgin Mary in front of the statue of the Mother of God near the Spanish Steps, an annual tradition on what is a bank holiday in largely Catholic Italy.

Le Pape espionne ses ennemis #shorts

Un entrepreneur britannique a été condamné par le Vatican pour avoir trompé le siège de l’Église catholique lors de la vente d’un bien immobilier. Le Pape aurait autorisé l’écoute téléphonique de l’homme d’affaires pour appuyer le procès. L’ONU mènerait une enquête sur le Pape François pour des écoutes téléphoniques dans un contentieux immobilier, révèle le média britannique The Telegraph le 16 juin 2024. Raffaele Mincione, un homme d’affaires britannique, a déposé plainte auprès de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour plusieurs abus autorisés par le chef suprême de l’Église Catholique lors d’un procès au Vatican. Rodney Dixon, l’avocat de Raffaele Mincione, affirme que le Pape a approuvé l’écoute téléphonique et l’interception de mails lors de l’enquête contre son client. Le Pape François pourrait se baser sur d’anciennes lois qui lui confèrent ces pouvoirs. Rodney Dixon estime que « cette décision a été prise sans énoncer de raisons précises, sans supervision judiciaire, indépendante et impartiale, ni mécanisme permettant de contester la mise en œuvre de la surveillance ». La méthode de surveillance prétendument employée par le Vatican n’a pas été précisée.
