Alvarado eyes shake-up of Vatican media establishment: “Players in the wrong positions”. Even before taking office, incoming Vatican communications prefect Montserrat Alvarado is signaling a possible shake-up of the Vatican's sprawling media apparatus in an October 23 EWTN interview. Comparing Vatican media to a football team, she declared: “You've got all the players [really?], but they're in the wrong positions.” “So maybe we move things around, or maybe we discover something different,” she added, advocating multiplatform journalism and greater use of audience analytics. Her remarks could make uncomfortable listening for an establishment long criticized for its costly staffing, bureaucratic inefficiency and limited reach.

Role of information in biology Maciej Giertych October 18, 2025 Life is more than just chemistry and physics. It includes also information. Information is part of the biological reality. We can study it from the point of view of molecular biochemistry but also in terms of mathematical relations, logic and transformation. Comparison with computers There is some analogy with computers. A computer has a shape, dimensions, a chemical composition, physical parameters etc. All of this we refer to as hardware. But there is also software, currently much more expensive than hardware. We have the programs, the data bases, the files, the calculation sheets etc. Without the software, a computer is a pile of junk. With the software in place it does not change its shape, weight, chemistry of physical parameters, but it becomes functional. Working with computers we have learned certain facts about the role of information in dealing with almost anything. We know that a program can become spoiled on its …More
Iranian FM spox slams Germany for duplicity, warmongering and hypocrisy Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei highlighted Germany’s stark flip-flop on attacks against Iran — with Chancellor Friedrich Merz cheering Israeli strikes in June 2025, while Berlin now calls for restraint and dialogue. “This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us,” Merz said at the time. Now German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and other European officials are warning against renewed attacks and calling for de-escalation, the spokesman highlighted. Baghaei responded to Berlin’s U-turn with a fitting dose of Friedrich Schiller: “O exalted Reason... who are you, then, if, bound to the tail of the wild horse of madness, you must watch helplessly, crying out, as you are dragged alongside that drunken rider into the abyss?” Geopolitics Prime

Fortuna E channel
The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, came to his audience with Pope Leo XIV bearing gifts, the prayers and gratitude of the Ukrainian people, and a list of hundreds of prisoners of war held in Russia. According to a statement from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Major Archbishop handed the list to the Pope during their meeting in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace. It was his fifth meeting with Pope Leo, whose efforts for peace between Russia and Ukraine have included recent telephone calls with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. In those conversations, the Pope appealed for a truce in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, where civilians face a desperate shortage of food, water and medicine. Major Archbishop Shevchuk expressed particular gratitude for the calls—the conversation with President Putin took place while the Pope was in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital—and for the attention given to the “humanitarian catastrophe” …More
A Secretariat of State letter dated September 30, signed by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli and published by Diane Montagna, confirms that the Vatican rejected a request by organizers of the Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage. Having already been denied permission to celebrate a traditional Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, the organizers instead requested permission to enter in procession, pray above the tomb of St. Peter, and adore the Blessed Sacrament. The Basilica’s sacristy had indicated that 1 p.m. would be possible, subject to approval by the Secretariat of State. The Vatican’s response: “Reverend Father, In response to your letter of 8 September concerning the international Ad Petri Sedem pilgrimage, I inform you that it is not possible to grant your request. Please accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my religious and devoted regards. † Paolo Rudelli” #newsPnguweoskc
