大主教马蒂尼批评现在的教堂落后于时代200年,天主教徒对教堂也丧失了信心。“教堂疲惫不堪”,他说,“我们的教堂老了。我们的教堂虽然大,但是空落落的。教堂官僚主义抬头。我们的宗教仪式和礼服非常奢华。”他敦促天主教堂认识到自己的错误,并从教皇和他的主教们开始彻底转变之路。他认为除非教堂对离婚的人们采取更为宽宏的态度,将无法拥有未来后辈们的虔诚。

Earlier in the week, the information minister estimated that Jordan hosts more than 190,000 Syrian refugees, the largest number in the region. The UN Refugee Agency's representative to Jordan Andrew Harper says that as the violence deepens in neighbouring Syria, the numbers fleeing to Jordan are expected to increase and more international help from donors is desperately needed.
