Why ‘Evangelical’ Is Becoming Another Word for ‘Republican’

Sa druge strane, Rimokatolicka crkva pod Franciskom, a sada pod Lavom, se distancirala od Trampa i "populisticke desnice", vodeci vise levo-liberlanu politiku, cak ulazeci u sukob sa Belom kucom, u suprotnosti sa Vojtilom. Primera radi, Biskupska konferencija Nemacke, znacajno vise kritikuje AfD od protestantskih kolega. Ima do politike dosta a i istorije. Uporista AfD su nekadasnja Pruska-Brandeburg, Saksonija. Tamo gde je protestantizam nastao. Drugi razlog je veliki ulazak protestanata u Latinsku Ameriku. RKC sena taj nacin distancira od njih praveci sebi osnovu u siromasnim grupama. Nije Lav slucajno izabran, on je misionario po Latinskoj Americi.

In Germany, both major churches—the German Bishops' Conference (Catholic) and the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD)—have been increasingly vocal and critical of the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

However, as of 2026, the German Bishops' Conference is generally seen as the more "critical" or uncompromising body because they have issued formal, binding declarations that make support for the AfD a matter of religious incompatibility.

Iran je naterao SAD da prisili Izrael na primirje u Libanu, doduse ne i povlacenje iz Libana.

Ovim se stvaraju uslovi za dalje pregovore izmedju Irana i SAD.

US-Iran Deal Will Take Months, Gulf and Europe Officials Say

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-16/us-iran-deal-will-take-months-gulf-and-european-officials-say

Some Gulf Arab and European leaders believe that a US-Iran peace deal will take about six months to be agreed and that the warring sides should extend their ceasefire to cover that timeframe, according to officials from the regions familiar with the matter.

Evo lokalni nadbiskup Cupich (porijeklom Hrvat):

Catholic Cardinal Blase Cupich lambasted President Donald Trump’s administration for posting “sickening” social media content about the Iran war during an interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday.

The long-running CBS show interviewed Cupich and two other high-ranking American Catholics — Cardinal Joseph Tubin and Cardinal Robert McElroy — days after Pope Leo XIV ramped up his criticism of the war.

Cupich told correspondent Norah O’Donnell he has been appalled by the White House’s “gamification” of the war on social media, where it combines military clips with movie and TV scenes; 60 Minutes highlighted a March X post that included Tom Cruise in “Top Gun: Maverick” and Mel Gibson from “Braveheart,” among other pop culture references. You can see that post below.

“We’re dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment,” Cupich said.

Iran-US talks turn to interim deal amid rifts over nuclear work, Iranian sources say

U.S. and Iranian negotiators have scaled back ambitions for a comprehensive peace deal and are instead seeking a temporary memorandum to prevent a return to conflict, two Iranian sources told Reuters.

The shift follows last weekend's inconclusive talks in Islamabad, where deep differences over Iran’s nuclear programme — including ‌the fate of its enriched uranium stockpiles and how long Tehran should halt nuclear work — have continued to threaten progress, despite U.S. officials and Pakistani mediators talking up prospects.

A senior Iranian official said the two sides had started to narrow some gaps, including over how to manage the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for about 20% of the world's oil and gas needs that has been closed to most ships for weeks.

Iran, which has faced crippling U.S. sanctions for years, wants a memorandum to include Washington unfreezing some Iranian funds, in return for allowing more ships through the strait, said the senior official, who asked not to be named because of the ⁠sensitivity of the matter.

A source briefed by Tehran said on Wednesday that Iran could let ships sail freely through the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz without risk of attack under proposals it has offered in talks with the U.S., providing a durable deal is clinched.

But more than halfway through a two-week truce, deeper splits remain. The senior official said these included agreeing on the fate of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), which the U.S. wants removed, and the duration of any halt to Iranian nuclear work, notably uranium enrichment.

Iran has long demanded Washington acknowledge its right to enrich uranium, which Tehran says it only seeks for peaceful purposes but which Western powers and Israel say is aimed at building nuclear weapons.

A Western diplomat said the nuclear issue "remains a core obstacle".

If a memorandum to halt the conflict is reached, the two sides are expected to have 60 days to negotiate a final deal, which would require involvement of experts and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Iranian sources said.

A previous international deal curtailing Iran's nuclear work in return for sanctions relief ‌was signed in ⁠2015 but it took almost two years to negotiate. President Donald Trump scrapped that pact in 2018.

The Iranian sources said the United States is demanding a halt to Iran's nuclear enrichment work for 20 years, while Iran wants to limit it to three to five years. Tehran also wants a timetable for lifting sanctions of U.N., U.S. and EU, they said.

Iran has also in the past refused a U.S. demand to ship out its entire stockpile of uranium which has been enriched to 60%, a level that is far higher than levels needed for civilian uses.

However, Iranian sources said there ⁠were signs a compromise could emerge. One source said that, while Iran was not ready to send all its highly enriched uranium (HEU) abroad, part of it could be sent to a third country.

He said some HEU was needed for medical purposes and for a research reactor in Tehran which runs on relatively small amounts of uranium enriched to around 20%.

The IAEA estimates Iran had 440.9 kg of ⁠uranium enriched to 60% when Israel and the United States launched their first attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025. Exactly how much of that has survived is unclear.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said in March that what remained of that stock was “mainly” stored in a tunnel complex in Isfahan, and that his agency believed slightly more than 200 kg ⁠of it was there. It also believes some is at the sprawling nuclear complex at Natanz, where Iran had two enrichment plants.

A second Western diplomat said: "The 440 kg HEU remains cause for concern because it allows Iran to have what we call sufficient quantities to build a number of nuclear bombs quite quickly, because the final enrichment phase is relatively quick.”

Gulf Arab and European leaders estimate a US-Iran peace agreement will require approximately six months to finalize, and are pushing for the warring parties to extend their current ceasefire to accommodate negotiations, according to a report from Bloomberg News, citing regional officials familiar with the discussions.

Gulf states maintain their assessment that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons development, a position that has not changed after the US-Israeli bombardment of the country. Officials said these states believe any peace agreement must ban Iran from enriching uranium or possessing long-range ballistic missiles.

Gulf leaders largely oppose renewed fighting and are instead pushing the United States to engage diplomatically with Iran, officials said.

Leaders are demanding the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy flows as part of diplomatic efforts. Officials privately warned that a global food crisis could develop if the waterway stays closed beyond next month.

Energy prices are expected to increase further if the conflict continues past the proposed timeline.

Families fear US sailors are hungry on Iran war ships, packages in limbo

A picture of a mid-April dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln, shared by a service member with his family, was similarly unappetizing – a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a gray slab of processed meat.

Dan and other military family members worried that their loved ones deployed to the Middle East are going hungry are filling boxes with items they hope could help service members ride out prolonged deployments in the Middle East – homemade fudge, Jolly Ranchers, crossword puzzle books, playing cards, toothpaste, Girl Scout cookies and fresh socks. But mail delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended as of April, and packages in transit now hang in limbo.
