A cow attended Sunday prayers at the Vatican s part of the European farmers' protest

Watch: cow attends Pope's prayer as part of European farmers' protest

A cow attended Sunday prayers at the Vatican s part of the European farmers' protest

A cow was among thousands of faithful and tourists in St Peter's Square in the Vatican on Sunday to attend the traditional Angelus prayer of Pope Francis.
The cow was brought to the Vatican by a group of breeders as part of the European farmers' protest.
The cow, called 'Ercolina', which has become one of the symbols of the protest in Italy, was led along Via della Conciliazione and then arrived in the piazza to be milked, to the amazement of those waiting for the pope to appear at the window of his study.
&ldquo;I hand wrote a letter to Pope Francis asking if we could come to the Angelus to have the cow blessed," breeder Pietro Tavazzani said it would be an honour and left his telephone number.
"One evening I received a call from the Vatican, from the secretary (of the pope), asking if we farmers and breeders wanted to come 18 February with the cow in tow, that the pope would let us in the square,&rdquo; Tavazzani said.
In recent weeks, as part of the protests that have erupted in many other European countries, hundreds of farmers and their tractors have gathered on the outskirts of Rome.
They demand fair prices for their products, the continuation of the reduction of taxes on agricultural diesel, stricter controls on imports from third countries, a reduction in bureaucracy, as well as other concessions.

The Vatican has urged bishops to follow Pope's recent decision to allow blessings for same-sex couple. 

Allowing blessings for same-sex couples not heresy: Vatican

The Vatican has urged bishops to follow Pope's recent decision to allow blessings for same-sex couple.&nbsp;

After pushback by some bishops in Africa, Poland and elsewhere, the Vatican on Thursday defended the recent move by Pope Francis to allow blessings for same-sex couples, insisting there is nothing &ldquo;heretical&rdquo; involved.
In a five-page statement, the Holy See's office to safeguard doctrinal orthodoxy expressed understanding that some bishops' conferences need more time for &ldquo;pastoral reflection&rdquo; on the pontiff's formal approval for such blessings.
But &ldquo;there is no room to distance ourselves doctrinally&rdquo; from the Declaration about the blessings "or to consider it heretical, contrary to the Tradition of the Church or blasphemous,'' said the statement by the office, formally called the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The new rule of blessings came last month in the form of a declaration, an important Catholic church document.
Some bishops immediately said they wouldn't implement the new policy.
&ldquo;Prudence and attention to the ecclesial context and to the local culture could allow for different methods of application&rdquo; of the new blessings rule, &ldquo;but not a total or definitive denial of this path that it proposed to priests,&rdquo; Thursday's statement said.
Still, the orthodoxy watchdog office on Thursday acknowledged that in situations where &ldquo;there are laws that condemn the mere act of declaring oneself as a homosexual with prison and in some cases with torture and even death, it goes without saying that a blessing would be imprudent.&rdquo;
It added: &rdquo;It is clear that the Bishops do not wish to expose homosexual persons to violence."
However, the statement called it &ldquo;vital&rdquo; that these bishops conferences &ldquo;do not support a doctrine different from that of the Declaration signed by the pope.&rdquo; Thursday's statement took pains to stress the Vatican's position that &ldquo;remains firm on the traditional doctrine of the Church about marriage, not allowing any type of liturgical rite or blessing similar to a liturgical rite that can create confusion.&rdquo;
The pontiff's approval reversed a 2021 policy by the Vatican's doctrine office which barred such blessings on the grounds that God &ldquo;does not and cannot bless sin.&rdquo; The Vatican holds that gay people must be treated with dignity and respect, but that gay sex is &ldquo;intrinsically disordered.&rdquo; Catholic teaching says that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and woman, is part of God's plan and is intended for the sake of creating new life.
Zambia's bishops conference said same-sex couple blessings were &ldquo;not for implementation in Zambia.&rdquo; The bishops conference of Malawi said &ldquo;blessings of any kind&rdquo; for &ldquo;same-sex unions of any kind&rdquo; would not be permitted.
In Zambia, gay sex is punishable by between 15 years and life in prison and the law puts it in the same section as bestiality. Malawi's laws call for up to 14 years in prison for homosexual sex, with the option of corporal punishment for those convicted.
Zambian bishops said there should be &ldquo;further reflection&rdquo; on the blessings and cited the country's laws against homosexuality and its &ldquo;cultural heritage&rdquo; that rejects same-sex relationships as reasons for its decision.

Francis in his papacy has made a decade-long effort to make the church a more welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community. But his approach continues to spark resistance among traditionalist and conservative Catholic leaders.
Thursday's statement stressed that the Vatican was allowing &ldquo;short and simple pastoral blessings." "This non-ritualized form of blessing, with the simplicity and brevity of its form, does not intend to justify anything that is not morally acceptable,'' the dicastery's statement said.
The statement was signed off by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, an Argentine prelate who is a theological adviser to Francis.
It concluded by saying that in some places, some &ldquo;catechesis will be necessary that can help everyone to understand that these types of blessings are not an endorsement of the life led by those who request them" nor an &ldquo;absolution, as these gestures are far from being a sacrament or a rite.&rdquo;

It wasn't clear if Pope Francis was anywhere near the incident. 

Car rams into Vatican gates, driver arrested

A car driven by someone with apparent psychiatric problems rushed through a Vatican gate Thursday and sped past Swiss Guards into a palace courtyard before being apprehended by police, the Holy See said.

A car driven by someone with apparent psychiatric problems rushed through a Vatican gate Thursday and sped past Swiss Guards into a palace courtyard before being apprehended by police, the Holy See said.
Vatican gendarmes fired a shot at the speeding car's front tires after it rushed the gate, but the vehicle managed to continue on its way, the Vatican press office said in a statement late Thursday.
Once the car reached the San Damaso Courtyard of the Apostolic Palace, the driver got out and was immediately arrested by Vatican gendarmes. The Vatican said the driver was about 40 years old and was in a "serious state of psychophysical alteration".
It wasn't clear if Pope Francis was anywhere near the incident, which occurred after 8 pm at the Santa Anna gate, one of the main entrances to the Vatican City State in the heart of Rome.
Francis lives on the other side of Vatican City at the Santa Marta hotel, where at that hour he would normally be having dinner and retiring to his room.&nbsp;

A Hindu, who converted to Christianity in the 18th century, will become the first Indian layman to be conferred sainthood.
Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Devasahayam Pillai, together with six other Blesseds, during a Canonization Mass in St Peter's Basilica in Vatican on May 15, 2022, Church officials said in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
The announcement was made by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican on Tuesday.
With the completion of the process, Pillai, who took the name "Lazarus" after embracing Christianity in 1745, will become the first lay person from India to become a saint, the church said.
"Lazarus" or "Devasahayam" in the local language, means "God is my help".
Devasahayam was declared Blessed on December 2, 2012, in Kottar, 300 years after his birth.
"While preaching, he particularly insisted on the equality of all people, despite caste differences. This aroused the hatred of the higher classes, and he was arrested in 1749. After enduring increasing hardships, he received the crown of martyrdom when he was shot on 14 January 1752", a note prepared by the Vatican said.
Sites linked with his life and martyrdom are in Kottar Diocese, in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu.

The Vatican museums reopened on the 1st of February after a second shutdown due to the surge in Covid-19 cases.
The museum was shut for 88 days due to the second wave of coronavirus that hit Italy in early November, forcing theatres, cinemas and museums to be closed to the public.
According to the Director of the Vatican museums, the period was used for renewing and maintenance work.
This phase of reopening, however, is likely to see lesser visitors compared to the first phase due to the restrictions. In 2020, the Vatican museums and the Villas of Castel Gandolfo saw just 1.3 million visitors in contrast to almost 7 million in 2019.

Pope: Market capitalism has failed in pandemic, needs reform

Pope Francis says the coronavirus pandemic has proven that the 'magic theories' of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes dialogue and solidarity and rejects war at all cost. Francis on Sunday laid out his vision for a post-Covid world by uniting the core elements of his social teachings into a new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti&nbsp;or&nbsp;Brothers All, which was released on the feast day of his namesake, the peace-loving St Francis of Assisi. In it, Francis rejected even the Catholic Church's own doctrine justifying war as a means of legitimate defense, saying it had been too broadly applied over the centuries and was no longer viable.

AP,&nbsp;Rome: Pope Francis says the coronavirus pandemic has proven that the &ldquo;magic theories&rdquo; of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes dialogue and solidarity and rejects war at all cost.
Francis on Sunday laid out his vision for a post-COVID world by uniting the core elements of his social teachings into a new encyclical, &ldquo;Fratelli Tutti&rdquo; (Brothers All), which was released on the feast day of his namesake, the peace-loving St Francis of Assisi.
In it, Francis rejected even the Catholic Church's own doctrine justifying war as a means of legitimate defense, saying it had been too broadly applied over the centuries and was no longer viable.
&ldquo;It is very difficult nowadays to invoke the rational criteria elaborated in earlier centuries to speak of the possibility of a 'just war,'" Francis wrote in the most controversial new element of the encyclical.
Francis had started writing the encyclical, the third of his pontificate, before the coronavirus struck and upended everything from the global economy to every day life.
He said the pandemic, however, had confirmed his belief that current political and economic institutions must be reformed to address the legitimate needs of the people most harmed by the pandemic.
&ldquo;Aside from the differing ways that various countries responded to the crisis, their inability to work together became quite evident,&rdquo; Francis wrote. &ldquo;Anyone who thinks that the only lesson to be learned was the need to improve what we were already doing, or to refine existing systems and regulations, is denying reality." The title of the encyclical had sparked controversy in the English-speaking world, with critics noting that a straight translation of the word &ldquo;fratelli&rdquo; (brothers) excludes women. The Vatican has insisted that the plural form of the word &ldquo;fratelli&rdquo; is gender-inclusive and that the document by its very nature is inclusive of women.
