Hi Luna, Sorry, I missed your message earlier. Actually, I think it's more that Cardijn saw Pier Giorgio as a model for YCW leaders - courageous social action, generous commitment to the poor, involvement in the student movement... Lots to admire!

A very big YCW story for the centenary. 20+ French YCW lay leaders, seminarians & priests (plus 1 YCS) to be beatified after Pope Leo recognised their martyrdom by the Nazis. And there are many more in Belgium, e.g. Fernand Tonnet and Paul Garcet. centreinternationalcardijn.org/french-jocis...

We're celebrating the centenary of the YCW. But, as Cardijn often insisted, the movement first began in the parish of Notre Dame at Laeken in 1912. Let's remember the movement pioneers he called "The first worker apostles." cardijnresearch.substack.com/p/the-first-...

What is all this rubbish you write about "Details of the incident have remained disputed"? Do you mean your reporters and editors are unable to figure out how people got shot in the head?

This is a project that I've long wanted to complete: a new online edition of Cardijn's classic 1930 "Manuel de la JOC" or "YCW Manual." Here it is, just in time for the centenary of the movement. A document to read, meditate and study! Chrome browser will translate it. manuel1930.josephcardijn.com

Ralph Nader: Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump’s Tyranny. Must-read.

Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump’s Tyranny - Ralph Nader

By Ralph Nader March 14, 2025 There are reasons why influential or knowledgeable Americans are staying silent as the worsening fascist dictatorship of the Trumpsters and Musketeers gets more entrenched by the day. Most of these reasons are simple cover for cowardice. Start with the once-powerful Bush family dynasty. They…
