Migrants and refugees: A call to love?

 

By Darrion Narine, CCSJ’s/AMMR’s Programme Coordinator

The Venezuelan socio-political crisis has resulted in many of our neighbours coming to the shores of Trinidad and Tobago.

A message to our men

 By Darrion Narine, CCSJ’s/AMMR’s Programme Coordinator

The Catholic magisterium in recent years has become increasingly vocal in opposing the practice of capital punishment. Pope John Paul II in Evangelium Vitae declared that “as a result of steady improvements in the organisation of the penal system,” cases in which the execution of the offender would be absolutely necessary “are very rare, if not practically nonexistent.” Again at St. Louis, in January 1999, the Pope appealed for a consensus to end the death penalty on the ground that it was “both cruel and unnecessary.” The bishops of many countries have spoken to the same effect.
