Les deux anciens premiers ministres de Macron se disputent le même espace politique, sans parvenir à décoller dans les sondages. Derrière leurs différences tactiques et leurs effets de communication, une même orthodoxie libérale et une même incapacité à répondre aux grandes crises du moment. Leur fusion semble inévitable. Leur salut, bien incertain.

阿克拉（信仰通讯社）—加纳主教团主席，苏尼亚尼教区主教马修·夸西·贾姆菲蒙席发表牧函，澄清和解释了意大利西西里岛卡塔尼亚的圣亚加大头颅圣髑加冕仪式的意义。强调“为圣亚加大圣髑举行加冕礼是在宣告，一位至死忠于基督的女性，今天已经分享了基督的胜利。这是一种敬礼，而不是朝拜”。八月十七日，卡塔尼亚举行隆重庆典，迎来了圣亚加大年的高潮，以纪念圣亚加大圣髑迁葬九百周年。公元一一二六年八月十七日圣髑迁葬，至今恰好九百年。教宗特使、圣座国务卿帕罗林枢机与当地神职人员，如路易吉·雷纳总主教公开展示、为圣女头颅圣髑加冕并亲吻圣髑。这是一级圣髑，传统上安放在一尊十四世纪制作的镀金银制半身像形圣髑匣内。其修复工作近期刚刚完成。这一仪式的视频在加纳以及海外加纳侨民群体中的社交媒体和其他平台上广泛传播。许多非天主教的加纳人，特别是五旬节派和新教人士对此感到不安，甚至指责这一仪式属于偶像崇拜、巫术或异教。当地文化背景进一步加深了这种反应。因为，加纳的一些与巫术、巫术仪式有关的宗教仪式或社会新闻事件中，偶尔也会出现人类头骨和骨骼。因此，有人评论说，“如果这样的事情发生在一位黑人神父身上，或者发生在加纳传统宗教中，人们肯定会称之为巫术”。贾姆菲主教理解这种感受。他表示，“这段视频令许多信徒感到不安”。对许多人而言，这种不适不仅来自看到一具人类头骨被展示和触碰，更让人联想到招魂术和神秘主义。即试图通过某些仪式与亡者沟通，或在天主的敬礼之外寻求隐藏的超自然力量。主教强调，这些做法是天主教会依据《圣经》所谴责的。为此，加纳主教团主席特别重申了天主教会关于敬礼圣人圣髑真正意义的教导。指出，“圣髑不是供人猎奇的东西，而是与一个圣德生命之间可以触摸的联系”。他进一步解释说，“圣亚加大是公元三世纪的贞女和殉道者，她的名字被列入《罗马弥撒礼正典》中。教会通过她的头颅这一级圣髑来敬礼她，因为教会认为，人的身体是神圣的、是天主所创造的，并且注定要复活”。贾姆菲主教强调，“特利腾大公会议教导说，殉道者的身体曾经是圣神的宫殿，因此信徒应当予以尊敬。这种尊敬并不止于骨骸本身，而是延伸至圣人，并最终归向天主，即圣德的源头”。此外，“当信徒跪在圣髑前、亲吻圣髑，或手持圣髑参加游行时，他们并不是在崇拜圣髑本身，而是在尊敬那位遗体被保存于其中的圣人。就如同我们会亲吻一位已经去世的亲人的照片，并不是因为那张纸就是那个人，而是因为这张照片表达了我们对照片所代表之人的爱与感情”。主教团主席还强调，“这一行为丝毫不是为了召唤某个灵魂，也不是为了获得隐藏的知识，如同招魂术和神秘主义所做的那样。向圣人祈祷，是请求圣人为我们向天主转求。从本质上说，这与请求另一位基督徒为我们祈祷并没有不同”。最后，贾姆菲主教祈祷，“我们祈求圣亚加大为你们转祷，并降福你们、我们主教降福你们”。（LM）（Agenzia Fides 26/08/2026）
