The Governing Body, the highest governing organ of this confession, has made public a change of criteria that opens the door for the first time for its followers to receive blood transfusions. This was one of the movement's most controversial beliefs, which prohibited these types of operations due to a peculiar interpretation of Bible passages that call to "abstain from blood".</p>]]></description>

Rosalía and her album <em>Lux</em> have been the most visible and global example. But in recent years there has been a surge of expressions of liturgical inspiration and spiritual imagery in the world of fashion, advertising, and music. Sometimes with purely aesthetic pretensions and other times as an emotional resource to appeal to transcendence and feelings of devotion and ecstasy. Sacred language in a pop and kitsch version is conquering secular spaces. We even heard yesterday how a priest blessed the new RAC1 studio and recited the Lord's Prayer as if it were a broadcast from the Church.</p>]]></description>
