Holy Father, how should we react when a government which suppress the death penalty authorizes both abortion and euthaniasia? Hasn’t it conceded satanic values? I find it really disturbing that being innocent or feeble is a better motive to eliminate someone than being a ruthless sadistic or a mass parasiting crook. I pray people wake up for good and reclaim their government.

AGENDA

Religious Observances

In the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, July 2 is the feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commemorating the biblical event in which Mary visits her relative Elizabeth shortly after the Annunciation, as recounted in Luke 1:39–56; the feast was formally established in the 14th century and fixed on this date to follow the octave of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. The observance emphasizes themes of charity and humility, with liturgical readings including the Magnificat. In the Anglican Communion, it is similarly observed as the Feast of the Visitation, often with processions or services highlighting Mary's role in salvation history.

The date also serves as an optional memorial for several saints in the Catholic calendar, including Bernardino Realino (1530–1616), an Italian Jesuit priest who served as a civic official before ordination and focused on education and care for the poor in southern Italy until his death. Another is Otto of Bamberg (c. 1062–1139), a German bishop and missionary who converted pagan tribes in Pomerania through preaching and church-building, earning recognition as an apostle to the region despite resistance from local rulers.

In the traditional calendar of the Church of England, July 2 honors Swithun (d. 862), Bishop of Winchester, whose relics were translated to the cathedral on this day in 971, leading to a persistent English proverb linking rainy weather on St. Swithun's Day to 40 subsequent days of rain, rooted in medieval weather lore rather than theological doctrine.[36] The Coptic Orthodox Church commemorates martyrs Aberoh and Atom, early Christian soldiers executed under Roman persecution for refusing to renounce their faith.

In Judaism, the Fast of the Seventeenth of Tammuz—a minor fast day marking calamities such as the breach of Jerusalem's walls in 586 BCE and 70 CE—may coincide with July 2 in certain years, as the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar; for instance, it falls on this Gregorian date in 2026, involving dawn-to-dusk abstention from food and drink in remembrance of historical tragedies preceding the Temples' destructions. Jain traditions observe the beginning of Ashadha Ashtahnika Parva on or around July 2 in some years, an eight-day period of austerity and temple rituals honoring the faith's principles, though the exact timing varies by lunar calculation.
