Bishop Johannes Hendriks, 71, of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, uncritically endorsed the state educational program that children should learn “to respect sexual diversity” without expressing any reservations or critical reflection. Johannes Hendrik is the bishop "responsible" for Catholic education. He wrote on March 23 an article on Kn.nl to defend and promote the importance of educational freedom, especially for Catholic schools. However he starts this text by quoting approvingly the Dutch state educational core objectives: “Article 23 of the Constitution, concerning freedom of education, has long been under fire for allegedly encouraging discrimination. Yet it is precisely thanks to this freedom of education that there are Catholic schools which, in keeping with their ethos, prioritise respect and human dignity. 'Pupils learn the essentials about religious movements that play an important role in Dutch multicultural society, and they learn to treat sexuality and diversity within …okunengi

Not to do so would be un-Christian. Christ desires to unite himself with humanity, so that the light he brings from God might become life for nations and individuals. I know many are shocked by this preaching and want to accuse us of forsaking the gospel for politics. But I reject this accusation.

Saint Oscar Romero and sermon Excerpts from March 23, 1980 (Movie: Romero) 24 March - Saint Oscar Romero, Cardinal Early life Oscar Romero was born into a large family on August 15, 1917, in El Salvador. Although they had more money than many of their neighbors, Oscar’s family had neither electricity nor running water in their small home, and the children slept on the floor. Oscar’s parents could not afford to send him to school after the age of 12, so he went to work as an apprentice carpenter. He quickly showed great skill, but Oscar was already determined to become a priest. He entered the seminary at the age of 14 and was ordained a priest when he was 25 in 1942. Recognising the power of radio to reach the people, he convinced five radio stations to broadcast his Sunday sermons to peasant farmers who believed they were unwelcome in the churches. In 1970, he became Auxiliary Bishop in San Salvador. In 1974, he became Bishop of Santiago de Maria. At this time, Oscar Romero was described …okunengi

In a homily broadcast nationwide, Romero implored the military with the following words, “Thou shalt not kill! No soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God … in the name of this suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven each day more tumultuous, I beg you, I beseech you, I order you in the name of God, stop the repression.” The next day while doing Mass at a Hospital chapel near his humble San Salvador home, a gunman took Oscar Romero’s life as he was preparing the altar after preaching his final homily.

Reinaldo Nann - a German-born Peruvian bishop (2017-2024) who civilly married a Peruvian woman in 2025 without being laicised - tried to defend Leo XIV from accusations of worshipping the Andean goddess Pachamama in 1995. On 22 March, Nann wrote on ReligionDigital.org that Leo XIV "is not an idolater, nor did he worship Pachamama". However, Nann admits that "the young missionary Robert Prevost did indeed participate in this 1995 ecology and theology congress, and within the context of a Mother Earth ceremony, he knelt". Nevertheless, Nann "cannot see any worship of Pachamama as a goddess". "We see an interreligious act where a representative of Andean culture makes an offering to the Earth — a gift and a dialogue with the Earth.' Other people, including Augustinian priests, attended this ceremony, which forms part of Andean culture. Respecting the Earth as a 'being with a soul' does not mean that it is not a creature of God. Pachamama is the earth, or rather the soul of the earth. …okunengi
