Often, faced with everything happening around us, particularly when it comes to the environment, we lose hope that things can ever improve. However, Anthony reminds us that we are called to be people of hope, recognising that our efforts, however small, can make a difference. When we join forces with others and bring our efforts together, we are truly living as Church.
In this conversation, Anthony Mifsud and Mark Cachia discuss the Season of Creation and the Christian call to protect what has been entrusted to our care… Read more »
In recent weeks, Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi have spoken plainly about some of Malta’s most urgent challenges: truth and lies, integrity and corruption, the influence of money and informal networks, the environment and the country we are leaving to future generations.

The Archbishop’s address at this year’s State of the Nation Conference deserves our full attention. To those who will accuse him of hypocrisy, when referring to how reputation is hard to build but so easily lost he himself acknowledged that: “I’m acutely aware that the Church is not immune to this.

On May 15th, Pope Leo XIV issued the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas (MH), offering the guiding principles needed to confront some of the most pressing questions humanity faces in this age of artificial intelligence:
1) Where are we heading?
Without deliberate and urgent intervention, Leo XIV warns us that we risk what he calls the “Babel syndrome” — a world enslaved to profit, where human difference is flattened into data and a single digital logic claims to explain everything, even the mystery of the human person… Read more »
In Catholic Social Teaching, the concept of Integral Human Development (IHD) was first introduced in the 1967 encyclical Populorum Progressio[1]. Pope Paul VI insisted that development cannot be limited to mere economic growth. In order to be authentic, it must be complete, integral.
