The one and the other, brought together in different systematic reflections, have thus composed a wonderful septenary, which is often contrasted with the list of the seven capital sins. He Catechism of the Catholic Church defines the action of the theological virtues like this: “The theological virtues found, animate and characterize the moral actions of the Christian. Inform and vivify all the moral virtues. These virtues are infused by God into the souls of the faithful to make them capable of acting as his children and deserving eternal life. These three virtues, faith, hope and charity, are the guarantee of the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in the faculties of the human being” (no. 1813).
While the risk of the cardinal virtues, let’s talk about risk, runs the risk of generating heroic men and women who do good, but who act alone, isolated; On the other hand, the great gift of the theological virtues is the existence lived in the Holy Spirit. The Christian is never alone. He does good not because of a titanic effort of personal commitment, but because, as a humble disciple, he does good because as a humble disciple he walks behind the Master Jesus,
Russia Threatened To Expand Its Security Zone In…
The tension between Russia and Ukraine has escalated with the Kremlin threatening to expand its “security zone” inside Ukraine if kyiv receives longer-range missiles from the United States. The threat comes as the United States is preparing a $1 billion military aid package for Ukraine, including the possibility of longer-range ATACMS missiles.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated Russia’s stance on the matter, stating that they will be forced to expand their security zone in Ukraine if longer-range missiles are delivered. This move by Russia reveals their intentions to annex more territories controlled by kyiv after a new offensive expected in the summer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has hinted at creating a buffer or security zone in Ukrainian territory adjacent to the Belgorod border region, currently captured by Russian troops, to prevent frequent Ukrainian attacks. The recent attacks on Russian border regions, including assaults on energy infrastructure, have further heightened tensions between the two countries.
In response to the latest attack on energy infrastructure in western Russia, allegedly carried out by Ukrainian Security Service drones, Russian state energy giant Rosneft reported losses of key facilities. These aggressive actions by kyiv aim to hinder Moscow’s military logistics and undermine its capabilities in the ongoing conflict.
The Questions Posed By Its Possible Ban In…
Towards a buyout or a ban? The American Congress adopted a law on Tuesday April 23 that forces the Chinese company ByteDance to sell its flagship social network, TikTok, otherwise the video application will be banned on American territory. Voted at the same time as a legislative package devoted to aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, the text is the most concrete threat weighing on the Chinese platform in the United States since the decree of ban passed by former President Donald Trump in 2020, and abandoned a year later. What is wrong with TikTok?
The United States has been trying to get rid of TikTok for four years. The Chinese application, owned by the company ByteDance, is considered by many American politicians as a threat to users in the country. The director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, for example judged on Tuesday, in an interview with the NBC channel, that the application constituted “a problem for national security”. At issue: the supposed capacity that the Chinese government would have, through it, to spy on American citizens or to influence their opinions.
The American authorities have so far provided little concrete evidence to support their accusations.
Al Bilad Newspaper Russia Is Trying To Control…
Russia seeks to displace millions of residents of Kharkiv, the second largest Ukrainian city, with the aim of controlling the city before the American military aid approved by the US Congress reaches Ukraine.
Sky News quoted the Institute for the Study of War in the United States in an analysis saying that the recent series of attacks launched by the Russian army on Kharkiv is a coordinated air and media operation to destroy the second largest city in the country.
Most recently, on Monday, a Russian missile struck the 250-meter-tall television tower in Kharkiv, breaking it almost in half and stopping broadcasting.
The Institute for the Study of War said in its analysis that Russia is waging a campaign aimed at persuading Ukrainians to flee and internally displacing millions before the offensive, which Russia is believed to begin around June.
The center explained that Russia’s intensification of its strikes and information operations against the Ukrainians in the city of Kharkiv aims to exploit the weakness of the Ukrainian air defenses before the expected military aid reaches the front-line areas.
He added that Russia is working to increase its attacks and attempt to seize Kharkiv before Western aid reaches Ukraine,

A shortage of bees and other pollinators is killing wild plants in Dutch nature. This is the conclusion of researchers from Leiden University, Naturalis and the Netherlands Institute for Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in a new study. They examined 87 years of measurements at more than 365,000 locations.
Species that were once common grassland flowers, such as the cuckoo flower, daisy, meadow milkweed, knapweed and many dozens of others, are in steep decline. Those flowers were the first to disappear from the farmland. Causes: over-fertilization and the disappearance of moist hay fields.
But the flowers are also declining sharply in the remaining natural grasslands. This decline has several causes, including nitrogen pollution and desiccation of the landscape.
Unpollinated flowers
On top of this is a decline due to a decrease in pollination, lead researcher Kaixuan Pan from Leiden University tells NOS. “Between 1930 and 2017, the number of plants pollinated by insects fell by more than a sixth on average.

On the 24th (local time), the British BBC highlighted the controversy surrounding the recent organization of the “Adult Festival” (2024 KXF The Fashion) in Korea.
In an article titled “The fate of Korea’s biggest sex festival,” the BBC said: “Issues of sexual diversity and gender equality are closely intertwined at adult festivals. “Organizers say this prevents free speech, while women’s groups say women’s human rights are being violated,” the report said.
The BBC also reported that the adult festival was canceled after changing venue several times due to pushback from local authorities and criticism from women’s groups. This event was originally scheduled to take place on the 20th and 21st in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. However, it was canceled due to opposition from women’s groups and local governments. Subsequently, the venue was changed several times to Paju, Gyeonggi Province, on the Han River in Seoul, and a bar in Apgujeong, Seoul, before being canceled.
The BBC explained: “Korea is known for having a conservative approach to sex and adult entertainment. Nudity and stripping in public places are prohibited, and the sale or distribution of hardcore pornography is also illegal.
