NOVANEWS news.yahoo.com Like his predecessor, Pope Francis reached out to Rome’s Jewish community at the very start of his pontificate, pledging to continue to strengthen the increasingly close ties between Catholics and Jews. Just hours after he was elected the first non-European pope in history, Francis sent a letter to Rome’s chief rabbi Riccardo di Segni, saying he hoped to “contribute to the progress that relations between Jews and Catholics” have seen since the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council. Jewish leaders welcomed the election of a pontiff seen as an ally when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires. Israeli President Shimon Peres said Francis would be a “welcome guest in the Holy Land” whileRonald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, said the new pope “always had an o...

NOVANEWS It is almost a year since our exemplary, much loved, and much missed comrade, Godfrey Andries Cremer, was taken from us. To mark the anniversary of his death, we are publishing a series of tributes paid to him by those that knew him well, and valued him so highly. The first of these tributes is paid by Iris, his lifelong partner, friend and comrade, and another founding member of the CPGB-ML. All these short speeches were made at a memorial meeting held last April, following his sudden illness and death, by 150 of his close friends, family and comrades. Although the occasion was sad, the speeches are uplifting and remain highly relevant. Godfrey lived a life dedicated to the struggle to educate the working class of Britain, and liberate the toiling masses of humanity. His was a ...

NOVANEWS Posted by Andy Borowitz VATICAN CITY (The Borowitz Report)—This wasn’t how it was supposed to play out. For Cardinal Bonifacius Steuer, last night was supposed to be a time of celebration, when the Dutchman who had dreamed of being Pope ever since his boyhood days in Rotterdam would finally stand on the balcony at the Vatican, basking in the cheers of thousands of the euphoric faithful. There are no cheers for Bonifacius Steuer today. Only empty silence, and time to reflect on what might have been. “Look, I’m not going to lie to you,” Cardinal Steuer said, in his first interview since his bruising defeat. “It kills me not to be there, not to be in the Vatican doing what needs to be done.” While Steuer said that he is “not going to get into that whole blame-game thing,” he sounde...

NOVANEWS COMMENTS ( 4 ) #1 by 1bigcree Shadowhawk on February 22, 2013 - 4:25 am HAHAHAHA! That’s what I call a true parting shot! #2 by ruby22-kate on February 22, 2013 - 4:29 am The unfairness of it all. This pope is responsible for so much human suffering that I rejoice to see his reign end. Pope Benedict is responsible for forbidding Catholics in aids ridden Africa that it is a sin to use a condom, all sex is a duty, our duty to procreate. I’ve heard he’s resigning because of the all the lawsuits leveled against him for his years as head of overseeing pedaphile priests and silencing their victims. He’s resigning to escape responsibility for his criminal neglect and pro active disdain for the victims that suffered unnecessarily because it was all known in Rome &...
