Holy Cosmas and Damian, Pray for Us!

Today is the feast day of two saints called the "unmercenaries". Saints Cosmas and Damian were physicians from Aegeae who offered their services to all at no cost. Their faith, charity and eventual martyrdom (289 AD) attracted many to Christianity. Honor them by serving others. pic.twitter.com/VyBwwQlRq3

A "Clarification" from the Secretariat of State

Vatican’s Secretariat of State writes to bishops of the world (via nuncios) to brief them on Pope’s civil unions remarks, to show that they refer to “particular arrangements of the state” in respect of same-sex couples, and do not touch on “church doctrine”.
