Third-Country Nationals: the latest source of revenue for the Catholic Church
It’s incredible how one of the only ways the Catholic Church in Europe is offsetting its decreasing number of members and monetary contributions is by third-country nationals. Clearly, this is the case in Malta. For background reading about this you can read my article about The Philippines and its community in Malta which is currently,…

Christians, but only when it suits us (in terms of money and popularity)
Respect is earned and not gained. As a convinced Hegelian I feel more Christian than the Archbishop, who has no monopoly over the meaning and substance of Christianity and Catholicism. The Archbishop is not stupid. He’s probably one of the smartest and brightest minds on the Islands. That doesn’t mean he is automatically entitles to…

The history of the 1960s is not relative and its details are not up for debate
I’m genuinely surprised many Maltese are still unaware of the historical details of the 1960s and are debating it as if we are still yet to discover it.

Interesting update about Reverend Carmelo Busuttil, the parish priest who is building a large 14-apartment complex in Imqabba. Reverend Carmelo Busuttil worked at the Curia’s property section until he was fired by Archbishop Charles Scicluna. Generally, the Church resolves internal disputes secrtetly and without the involvement of the authorities, so we would never know from…

It’s the media’s fault that Father Luke Seguna embezzled donations to pay for porn
In continuation, with this article published earlier in the morning, here is a comment by a Marsaxlokk parishioner defending the priest. They don’t care he swindled them hundreds of thousands of Euros to pay for his vices, instead they are more concerned about the media “defaming” him. The press reported on his arraignment and ongoing…
