CNN —Pope Francis has addressed criticism over his consent to priests to bless same-sex couples, saying the pushback from African bishops was “a special case” influenced by culture. African Catholic bishops said in a letter the pope’s endorsement “caused a shockwave” on the continent and “has sown misconceptions and unrest in the minds of many”, including pastors. Kazakhstani bishops Tomash Peta and Athanasius Schneider jointly described blessings for same-sex unions as a contradiction to the age-long practice and doctrine of the Catholic Church. “To bless couples in an irregular situation and same-sex couples is a serious abuse of the most Holy name of God,” said the preachers who head the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in the country’s capital Astana. French Archbishop Hervé Giraud said last month he could bless a gay couple as he believed such a blessing was not an acceptance of a same-sex union.

I was recently shown some frames from a film that I had never heard of: Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1976 version of “Tron.” The sets were incredible. However, Mr. Jodorowsky, the visionary Chilean filmmaker, never tried to make “Tron.” I’m not even sure he knows what “Tron” is. caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption Generation Text prompt The A.I. caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption caption Generation Text prompt The A.I.

Moștenirea cocoșului Maurice; Franța a adoptat o lege care protejează sunetele și mirosurile de la țarăFranța a adoptat o lege care protejează „moștenirea senzorială” din zonele sale rurale, după mai multe plângeri legate de zgomotele și mirosurile tipice din mediul rural, scrie CNN.com, citată de Digi24. Giraud a declarat că a sărbătorit adoptarea legii, care are ca scop „definirea și protejarea moștenirii senzoriale a mediului rural francez”. „Sper ca oamenii aceștia să înțeleagă cum e viața la țară”, a declarat atunci stăpâna lui Maurice în fața judecătorului. Cocoșii au dorința de a cânta”, a declarat Corinne Fesseau, femeia care îl deținea pe Maurice. Christophe Sueur, primarul orașului Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, a declarat pentru CNN că verdictul este „de bun simț”, adăugând: „Sunt toți pentru păstrarea tradițiilor franceze.
