Cabo Verde is an island country in the central Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of Africa, made up of ten volcanic islands.

Dear Dane, We are born with attachments… We are born with those whom we already love in our hearts… Love, truly is ALL! I am a long-retired analyst – as was my late beloved wife where for both we were blessed with “Love at first sight”… We brought with us a Love of the Wild Ones, a love of Trees and Wilderness… A deep pity for what the Wild Ones would have to endure… A terrible for-knowledge of what was to come, both for those we Loved – and ourselves… Our poor old ‘rescued’ Parrot had to go to a so-called “Rescue Centre” as I was taken unexpectedly ill and only survived by… I now have her back, she clings to me whimpering for she was obviously hated and mal-treated having drab feathers and no tail feathers at all… She now cannot grip well and falls off of her perches. The day I returned, our tiny back yard was full of birds – a neighbour said that it was previousy empty… I could only cry my heart out… She is now sitting opon my shoulder and quietly whimpering… Yet now, in this …

Catholic Gets Banned from Religious Liberty Commission Because She Defies Israel Carrie Prejean Boller, a Catholic, said that Zionism is against her religious beliefs and has allegedly been removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. Cenk Uygur and Yasmin Khan discuss on The Young Turks. Do you agree with TYT's take? Tell us what you think in the comments below. SUBSCRIBE today: ☞ https://go.tyt.com/ytsubscribe Since last year, interfaith leaders, religious legal activists and close political allies of the president have been laying the groundwork for a broader expansion of the role of religion in public life. By this summer, the group — Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission — is expected to produce a blueprint for policy changes that could redefine the boundaries between government and religion in American life. “We have to bring back religion in America,” Trump told the commission last year. “Bring it back stronger than ever before.” Discussions by the commission …Ավելին
Quentin, a 23-year-old Catholic, died from serious head injuries sustained during violent clashes outside a political conference in Lyon, France, on 12 February. According to witnesses, the attackers were counter-protesters associated with Antifa militants. Prosecutors have not yet officially identified any suspects. Before his death, Quentin received the Last Rites from a priest. Since then, Catholic communities across France have organised rosaries and prayer vigils for his soul.
ILS ONT TUÉ UN INNOCENT. Le silence de l'Etat autour de la mort de Quentin est une honte absolue. Regardez la dignité de la jeunesse catholique face à la barbarie antifa. On n'oublie pas. #JusticePourQuentin#Paris#Hommage

She disputes false claims about "unmarked graves" in Kamloops. Her university appearances have been disrupted by protests. Some university administrations, including those at Mount Royal University and the University of Lethbridge, have cancelled her events, citing concerns about "community safety" and "potential harm".
What they are not telling us is that this is a money pit; Native people, particularly those in positions of power are being given large sums of money in compensation for what white people have (allegedly) done to their ancestors.
Blessed Joseph Allamano - February 16 Blessed Giuseppe Allamano (21 January 1851 – 16 February 1926) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest.

James 1:12-18 No one experiencing temptation should say, “I am being tempted by God.” Often, people say this in veiled terms. Let us discern the times when we blame God for evil. Then, let us thank Him for His love within us, which protects us from temptation. Mark 8:14-21 “Guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” Let us be careful not to be taken in by selfishness and pride, even if it seems like strength to others. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
The appointment of laypeople to positions of authority in the Roman Curia is not a temporary concession, BUT an ecclesiological advance and a "Spirit-led development", “conservative” Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for Bishops, wrote on VaticanNews.va (February 16). Cardinal Ouellet acknowledges the “unease about a papal decision” given that nuns are now in positions reserved to bishops as there is a “close link between the ordained ministry and the function of governing the Church”. BUT: He has “no doubt” that Pope Francis’ gesture is promising for the future: “It marks the beginning of recognition of the authority of charisms by hierarchical authority.” Cardinal Ouellet's article devotes a significant amount of words to elaborating on the Holy Spirit’s role beyond sacramental ordination, as if this were not well-known before Francis' novelties. Key phrase: "When the Pope appoints a woman to head a Dicastery, he is not delegating his jurisdiction to …Ավելին
