Catholic cathedral bombed in Bangladesh
On November 7, a Catholic cathedral and school in Dhaka, Bangladesh, were bombed hours before a worship event that drew bishops from across the country, reports International Christian Concern.
A suspect on a motorbike threw two homemade bombs at the church — one exploded near the gate, and another landed near the property, failing to detonate. Thankfully, no one was injured in the attack.
The incident did not deter 500 Catholics from attending the worship event the following morning at St. Mary’s Cathedral, nor did it deter students from returning to school at St. Joseph School the following Monday.
Police investigators arrested a suspect and identified him as a member of a banned student political party. They have been initiating violent protests against the government, but more recently, their attacks have shifted toward churchgoers as they prepare for the February 2026 election.
St. Mary’s Cathedral plans to take legal action and punish the perpetrator.
One churchgoer said, “Anxiety grips many of us while going to church.” And Bulbul Rebeiro with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Bangladesh, said, “We are peace-loving people, but these incidents are frightening us.”
Bangladesh ranks 24th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the countries most dangerous for Christians.
Gen Z protests in Mexico City, storming presidential palace
AUDIO: Sounds of rioting against police
Those are the sounds of rioters who stormed the barricades outside the presidential palace in Mexico City on Saturday as an anti-cartel protest descended into chaos, reports The Daily Mail.
Mobs of frustrated, mostly Gen Z Mexican protestors traded blows with cops and screamed slogans about how corruption and cartel killings have spiraled out of control in their country.
Thousands of people filled the streets of the nation's capital and marched to the palace, which is the official residence of President Claudia Sheinbaum, the liberal politician who took office last October.
The demonstration, largely organized by young activists and supported by older supporters of opposition movements, was the culmination of citizens' frustration with the government's inability to stop violence and provide economic opportunity.
Pablo Vazquez, Mexico City's chief of police, said 20 people were arrested and are set to be charged with battery, assault and robbery, reports Bloomberg.
Vazquez added that 60 of his police officers were injured, 40 of whom had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Trump supports Christian foster parents against pro-LGBT states
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at “modernizing” the child welfare system in the United States, including a guarantee to side with foster families discriminated against by states for their religious convictions, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
For example, Heath and Lydia Marvin, a Christians couple in Massachusetts who have fostered eight children under the age of four since 2020, lost their license to foster children because they refused to sign an agreement to “affirm” the alleged LGBT status of any children placed in their care.
LYDIA MARVIN: “We have been an active foster family in Massachusetts for the past four and a half years, and lost our license earlier this year due to new discriminatory policies against Christian families in Massachusetts. So grateful to be here and have the [Trump] administration's support for foster care, but also specifically for Christian families and faith-based organizations to continue caring for those who are most vulnerable in our communities.”
Her husband Heath offered his support for the Trump administration as well.
HEATH MARVIN: “It's so neat to hear the President and First Lady talking about b
