🇵🇸 The adoption of the new calendar raised pastoral questions for the Church – Patriarch of Jerusalem

— "The adoption of the new calendar brought the Orthodox Church face to face with pastoral issues, which also have social implications, and must be dealt with with a sense of responsibility. Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem wrote about this in his Christmas message.

“The Feast of Nativity, as a great feast of the Lord, has been celebrated since ancient times with appropriate liturgical splendor by our Patriarchate and the venerable Holy Sepulcher Brotherhood on December 25 (according to the old calendar), which corresponds to January 7 (according to the new calendar), and our Christian fullness follows this."

On this day 83 years ago, Corneliu Codreanu along with 13 other Legionaries were taken and strangled to death by prison guards on the orders of an anti-Christian government. Codreanu had requested a moment to speak to his Legionaries, to give them hope, and he was denied even this. They had ropes tied around their necks and they were strangled. They were then shot in the back to spread a lie that they had tried to escape.

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, pray for us!

🇨🇱 Chile Parliament Rejects Bill to Legalize Killing Babies in Abortions

— "Chile will continue to protect unborn babies’ right to life after its parliament rejected a bill Tuesday that would have legalized abortions.

Breitbart reports the lower Chamber of Deputies voted 66-59 to shelve the pro-abortion bill for future consideration. The legislation would have legalized the killing of unborn babies in abortions for any reason up to 14 weeks of pregnancy.

Like most South American countries, Chile protects unborn babies from abortions in almost all circumstances. It allows abortions only in cases of rape, threats to the mother’s life and fatal fetal deformities."
