Innsbruck: Churches invite to shared Creation Prayer

Ecumenical "Prayer for Mother Earth" on 3 October in the Jesuit Church closes Church Season of Creation- Diocese of Innsbruck elaborates sustainability strategy

The Christian churches in Tyrol invite you to a joint "Prayer for Mother Earth" in the Innsbruck Jesuit Church on Tuesday, 3 October, at 6 pm. The prayer is the liturgical ending in Tyrol for the Church Season of Creation (1 September to 4 October). Within the framework of the prayer in the Jesuit Church, the concern about the shared home - "Mother Earth" - is to be expressed, the organisers say. The diocesan administrator, Jakob Bürgler will also participate in the prayer.


The Head of the Innsbruck office for Pastoral Care, Elisabeth Rathgeb, pointed out in a letter on Monday the close connection between the preservation of creation and the commitment to peace and justice. "We have only one world, and good life for all people now and in the future is possible, and we have to look at the whole," says Rathgeb.

The diocese of Innsbruck is striving for a clear sign of the preservation of creation and is currently working on a sustainability strategy. This will be discussed in the autumn and will be passed in November, announced the Head of the Innsbruck office for Pastoral Care.

Euthanasia dispute: Vatican gives religious order its last chance

Reactions 
All the deadlines have passed, and conversations have been held: now the Vatican gives the Belgian Brothers of Charity the last chance to comply with to the doctrine of the Church.

The Vatican wants to invite the Belgian branch of the Brothers of Charity (Broeders van Liefde) to discussion on active euthanasia. They are to be given the opportunity to explain their point of view, according to the press release of the General Administration of the Brothers of Charity in Rome, published on Monday. The meeting in Rome was the last chance for the organisation to reconcile itself with Catholic doctrine, according to the statement.

On Friday, Rene Stockman met with representatives from the Vatican and informed them about the current situation. On September 12th, the Belgian organisation of the Brothers of Charity had reaffirmed its position to no longer rule out active euthanasia for the mentally ill in the non-terminal stage. The organisation manages 15 psychiatric clinics in Belgium.

Since its foundation in Ghent in 1807, the Order of the "Broeders van Liefde" has been particularly committed to the care of the mentally ill. In Belgium, they look after 5,500 patients; they are responsible in Flanders for one third of the beds in the area of ​​mental illness. The Order has 603 members worldwide and is active in 31 countries

Police confiscate deficient rosaries in Rome


In memorabilia shops around the Vatican, the Italian police confiscated a good 700,000 articles that do not comply with the European consumer protection standards.

The Italian police pulled out of memorabilia shops around the Vatican, rosaries and pious images, as well as magnets, key rings and ashtrays, worth more than 1.5 million euros, according to Kathpress. The goods did not contain sufficient information on the manufacturer and the materials used, nor on the use or possible health risks. Three Italian and a Chinese business owner were notified to the Chamber of Commerce for breach of consumer protection and received a fine of € 10,000. The Italian financial police regularly interfere with illegally produced or incorrectly identified souvenirs during inspections at tourist centres.
