MAUNDY THURSDAY

Today Christians remember the Last Supper and the New Commandments Jesus gave to his disciples:

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.” - John 13:34

GOOD FRIDAY

In Plato’s Republic Book II 360-61 (380 BC), Glaucon (Plato's older brother) tells Socrates that a truly righteous person would be so unacceptable to human society that he would be crucified. 413 years later Jesus, son of Joseph, of Nazareth came along to prove Glaucon correct..

Why young people are converting to Catholicism en masse

"According to the National Catholic Register, some dioceses are reporting year-over-year increases of 30% to 70% in new converts. The Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas, for instance, experienced a 72% jump in converts just from 2023 to 2024.
The Post spoke to several young new Catholics who cite the pandemic, the internet and a distaste for “lax” Protestant alternatives as reasons for turning to the faith."

Congressional Panel Charts Path to Biosecurity State

"The 2025 final report of the NSCEB opens not with a warning, but with a prophecy:

We stand at the edge of a new industrial revolution, one that depends on our ability to engineer biology. Emerging biotechnology, coupled with artificial intelligence, will transform everything from the way we defend and build our nation to how we nourish and provide care for Americans.

This philosophy mirrors almost verbatim the World Economic Forum’s vision of the Fourth Industrial Revolution — a future where the physical, digital, and biological worlds merge. What the WEF describes as a “new chapter in human development,” the commission recasts as a zero-sum contest for national survival"

The Reckless Gamble of Self-Amplifying RNA: A Runaway Experiment with No Off Switch

"Self-Amplifying RNA
In the ever-growing arms race of genetic engineering, a new and deeply concerning player has emerged: self-amplifying RNA (saRNA). Unlike conventional mRNA shots, which carry the pretense of controlled dosing, saRNA introduces a self-replicating genetic mechanism into human cells—a mechanism that has no inherent safeguards, no patient-specific oversight, and no clear understanding of the long-term ramifications.
This is not just another chapter in the reckless rush toward biotech dominance; it is a blatant, high-stakes experiment on the human genome, masquerading as innovation. As we have already observed in the mRNA COVID vaccines, the risks are far from hypothetical.
The premise of saRNA is deceptively simple: instead of merely injecting a blueprint for protein production (as in traditional mRNA shots), which mounting evidence points toward rogue transcription, saRNA also carries the molecular machinery to make copies of itself intentionally. It does this by encoding a replicase enzyme, which hijacks cellular processes to continuously produce more saRNA molecules—ensuring that the body keeps generating foreign proteins long after the initial injection.
Think about that for a moment. This is not a controlled, single-shot therapy. This is a biological machine set loose inside your cells with no definitive stop signal. Imagine handing someone a single-page instruction sheet versus handing them a self-replicating printing press that churns out endless copies of that sheet—whether they need it or not."

Trump Administration Fast-Tracks Controversial Self-Amplifying mRNA Vaccine for H5N1 Bird Flu

"The Trump administration has granted Fast Track designation to a groundbreaking — and controversial — self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) vaccine candidate targeting the H5N1 avian influenza virus.
The vaccine, ARCT-2304, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, is now in Phase 1 trials and has been positioned by federal health authorities as a front-line defense against a potential bird flu pandemic.
The designation, announced April 10, was awarded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services and its Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
The Fast Track designation from the FDA expedites the review of drugs intended for serious or life-threatening conditions that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs.
This designation aims to get new treatments to patients faster by encouraging more frequent communication between the FDA and the drug developer and allowing for a rolling review of the application.
Unlike traditional vaccines, the ARCT-2304 candidate uses a self-replicating mRNA platform, meaning the genetic material continues reproducing inside the recipient’s cells to boost production of flu-fighting proteins. Arcturus claims this results in a stronger immune response with smaller doses."

‘They are trying to make it unbearable’: Jerusalem Christians face Easter under Israeli crackdown

"Religious intolerance and antichristian sentiment has been made mainstream by Israeli political leadership – the ultra-hardline national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, described Israelis spitting on Christians as “an old Jewish tradition” – and old suspicions have escalated into brazen, all-out violence. There have also been growing incidences of settler groups attempting to seize Christian land in Jerusalem. In 2023, the Holy Land Roman Catholic patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa accused the government of establishing a “cultural and political atmosphere that can justify, or tolerate, actions against Christians”.

A recent report by the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue documented the steep rise in the scale and severity of attacks on Christians in Jerusalem and across Israel in 2024, ranging from spitting at priests and public hate speech to the desecration of graves, arson attacks and vandalising of churches.

“It’s usually young Israeli Jewish men who are conducting these attacks with impunity. They face very little punishment, if the police get involved at all,” said John Munayer, the director of international engagement at the Rossing Center.

“It’s a clear attempt by hardcore settler Zionists to Judaise the Old City of Jersualem and trying to make it unbearable for Christians who have been there for centuries.”

As he attended the Easter prayer ceremony on Thursday, Father Nikon Golovko, the deputy head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, said he had “really seen things change for the worse for Christians in the past nine years”.

He said: “We receive a lot more hostility and even aggression from the Jewish community. They spit on priests, even when we are walking through the Christian quarter. It sends a message that the city belongs not to all communities but only to the Jews. It was not like this before.”
After an incident in which Orthodox Jews were caught on video spitting at Christians, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that Israel was “totally committed to safeguard the sacred right of worship and pilgrimage to the holy sites of all faiths”.

Griftonomics: How British Politics Became a Playground for Personal Gain & Threatened Modern Democracy In The Process

From cash-for-peerages and crony contracts to reality television MPs and donor-fuelled honours lists, the UK’s political class faces a credibility crisis. - Gabriel McKeown

"There has been a startling rise in grift culture in British politics, with a growing trend of politicians and their associates using public office for personal enrichment. We have seen a near-endless string of scandals involving misuse of public funds, conflicts of interest in contracts, and officials profiting from their privileged positions in recent years. It should therefore come as no surprise that polling shows public trust eroding rapidly, with over half of Britons believing that the government is institutionally corrupt, and the UK falling to the bottom of the international corruption index's top 20 countries. This has bred a broader culture of impunity and entitlement within British politics, transcending traditional forms of corruption or illegality, and instead manifesting in the transformation of politics from public service to private enrichment, in its many forms. This entrenchment of grift has very real social costs, and so far has culminated in a widespread disengagement from the political process, and a deep-seated belief that those in the most powerful political roles are there to serve themselves, rather than the country as a whole."

HOLY SATURDAY
THE HARROWING OF HELL

"I command you: Awake, sleeper, I have not made you to be held a prisoner in the underworld. Arise from the dead; I am the life of the dead. Arise, O man, work of my hands, arise, you who were fashioned in my image. Rise, let us go hence; for you in me and I in you, together we are one undivided person."

Homily of Saint Epiphanus (ca. 400 AD) on Christ meeting Adam on His descent to hell - and freeing him, Eve and the other prisoners.
