João's Cartoon!

Correio do Ribatejo4 September 2026 at 17:33

This week's cartoon, by João, takes a more serious tone. The drawing addresses the disaster that occurred in Nepal, sending wishes that more people can be rescued alive from the rubble.

The special reason for this awareness-raising effort relates to the strong community of Nepalese emigrants living in Portugal, making the disaster particularly significant for the country.

The cartoon highlights as an example of small great miracles the case of a six-year-old girl who was rescued alive after being trapped for 60 hours under the rubble.

The Vatican blesses vegetarians: "We are obliged to reduce aggression against life to a minimum"

The Vatican, through the International Theological Commission, published an extensive 148-point document on the global ecological crisis that supports vegetarianism as an environmentally responsible option. The Holy See argues, based on biblical Genesis, that the original food offered by God to humans was only plants and fruit trees, which gives the vegetarian movement an "unquestionable theological foothold." The document, which advises the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, represents a significant endorsement by the Vatican of reducing meat consumption as a way to minimize damage to the planet.
