Devon Ave.). Odazovimo se u velikom broju. Važan je to doga aj. Film govori o 66 hercegova kih franjevaca koji su ubijeni u 2. svjetskom ratu i neposredno nakon njega. Oni su bili žrtve komunisti ko-partizanskih zlo ina. Kako bi zataškali zlo ine, egzekutori su tijela svojih žrtava bacali u jame i škrape. Svjedoci su u strahu od odmazde o svemu morali šutjeti. Završetkom rata ubijanje je preraslo u progone preživjelih. Tada je i zagreba ki nadbiskup Alojzije Stepinac robijao u Lepoglavi, a mostarski biskup Petar ule u Zenici. O zlo inima se prvi put šaptalo 70- tih godina 20. stolje a. Glasnije se govorilo tek raspadom Jugoslavije. Cilj dokumentarnog filma In odium fidei (Iz mržnje prema vjeri) je progovoriti o tome vremenu.

LENTEN FAST AND ABSTINENCE The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has declared that "the age of fasting is from the completion of the 18th year to the beginning of the 60th." The USCCB also allows the substitution of some other form of penance for abstinence on all of the Fridays of the year, except for those Fridays in Lent. Thus, the rules for fasting and abstinence in the United States are: Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. Every person between the age of 18 and 60 must fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from meat on all other Fridays of the year, unless he or she substitutes some other form of penance for abstinence.
