In an unprecedented move, the #Vatican on Sunday beatified a #Polish family of nine — a married couple and their small children — who were executed by the #Nazis during #WorldWarll for sheltering #Jews.

During a ceremonious Mass in the village of #Markowa, in southeastern #Poland, papal envoy #Cardinal #MarcelloSemeraro read out the #Latin formula of the #beatification of the #Ulma family signed last month by #PopeFrancis.

A little dust up on FB between Trebor Scholz, Rory Ridley-Duff, and Dario Azzellini, among others about the significance of the departure of two big, multinational industrial cooperative groups, #Ulma and #Orona, from the #Mondragon Corporation. It is disappointing to see scholars jump to the defense of Mondragon Corporation and its officers instead of eagerly exploring the critical questions these departures raise and how they affect workers.
