The president of the C.S. Lewis Society at Oxford University is Jacob Imam who is a convert to Catholicism from Islam. Many young intellectual Muslims in western countries are nowadays embracing Catholicism.
Happy 94th Birthday to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI!
We pray for this 'outstanding teacher of our faith and great guide to the role of faith in our complex world' who had dedicated his life in service to the Church, that God will be with him and comfort him.

1/2 Our churches are open for prayer and communal worship during the current #lockdown. They are safe and offer essential support to the poorest. They provide a safe and peaceful place in a time of anxiety & fear. Please read our full statement https://t.co/EFsRAinl6W
3 questions to ponder: 1. When I first wake up, do I spend time in prayer or do I check my social media? 2. Do I read tweets, posts, and blogs more than I read Scripture? 3. Have I spent more time on social media than I have in prayer this week? #pray#CatholicTwitter
Here's a hot take...
I believe that most of the social problems in modern Western society are spiritual, rather than political.
And you cannot solve spiritual problems through governmental policy, no matter how hard you try.
#ICYMI I spoke with Adrian Chiles on @bbc5live about our desire to open our churches for private prayer. The stones of our churches are full of the prayers of the people. Don't let's have the doors locked any longer than necessary. To listen (from 52 min) https://t.co/UuGpm5niKr
This week's announcements by the PM that some indoor sales premises can open Monday and most shops on 15 June, questions directly the reasons why our churches remain closed. It is now time to move to the phased opening of our churches.
