The War on Bugs
If it wasn't for Covid, War and Bugs the master race of Homo Sapiens would have little to occupy themselves with. Now it is Bed Bugs, in Paris and London, encircling European cities like the plague of Oran.

Solidarity in Chile - an Unfinished Project. The Contribution of John Paul II
Much has been written about the presence of John Paul II in my country[1].
