PEDERASTY:

THE BIG PROBLEM

OF THE CHURCH



Everybody knows the big problems that the Catholic Church has with pederasty.
Worrying information: in the last 8 years the Vatican has investigated 3,000 priests accused of pederasty
Every day that passes, the Vatican seems more and more affected by pederasty: This last March, the famous newspaper "The New York Times" has reported the latest news about Lawrence Murphy´s case, who abused over 200 deaf children in Wisconsin in the 70´s.
The boys who suffered the abuses of this monster are already adults. One of them described what he thought when he was just a kid: "He was handling me and I was asking: God, is this a good thing to be done?”.
In fact, there is a picture with Lawrence and 11 boys, 5 of them recognised that they suffered from abuses.
The saddest thing is that for some people Father Murphy is almost a saint that could understand the deaf ones and who was collecting money for them...he died in 1998.
But this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that our darling Pope knew everything and he did nothing to punish Lawrence Murphy (even three bishops tried to expel Lawrence, but Ratzinger didn’t allow it).
Probably you may ask: “Why?” And he will respond "because he was too old and too ill".
It is really amazing that the Pope, who is very worried with all the problems of the world…didn’t punish Lawrence because he was too old.
This a worrying and shameful situation in which the Church is. It is not possible that an organization, with a few strict rules of chastity, has these problems with pederasty, and less, that they are seem blind and not punish the ones who do it.
Either the church changes very much or they will end up by destroying the little image that they still have.

OBAMA’S

HEALTH CARE REFORM


After decades of failed attempts by a string of Democratic presidents and a year of bitter partisan combat, President Obama signed legislation on March 23, 2010, to overhaul the nation's health care system and guarantee access to medical insurance for tens of millions of Americans.

Two days later the House and Senate completed passage of a set of fixes to the bills.

In a dramatic vote, the House on March 21st approved, the health care bill that the Senate had passed in December.

Republicans, who voted unanimously against the bill in both houses, vowed to work to repeal the bill and to challenge it in court.

The landmark bill signed by Mr. Obama will provide coverage to an estimated 30 million people who currently lack it. Its passage assures Mr. Obama a place in history as the American president who succeeded at revamping the nation's health care system where others, notably Bill Clinton, tried mightily and failed.

The measure will require most Americans to have health insurance coverage; and would subsidize private coverage for low- and middle-income people. The law will cost the government about $938 billion over 10 years, which has also estimated that it will reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion over a decade.

The victory for Mr. Obama and the Democratic leaders of Congress came after a roller-coaster year of negotiations, political combat, hearings delving into the minutiae of health care and a near-death political experience after they appeared to have reached the brink of success.

Mr. Obama came out with his own version of a bill -- a step he had long resisted in favor of letting Congressional leaders shape the measure.

Mr. Obama stumped the country in the days before the House vote, putting pressure on Democrats to rally to the measure, and met with dozens of individual representatives. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had pushed Mr. Obama to hold fast to the goal of a broad measure even after the loss of Mr. Kennedy's seat, picked up the support of members one by one in marathon talks. One group of crucial representatives, anti-abortion Democrats, came aboard at the last minute after Mr. Obama promised to issue an executive order "to ensure that federal funds are not used for abortion services."

MOSCOW

TERRORIST ATTACK


First images of confusion and terror in the morning of 29/03/2010 on the Moscow underground after a double car bombing perpetrated by two female suicide bombers. The bombs killed at least thirty-seven people and some were injured.

In the rush hour two artefacts have exploded in the central stations and Park Kultury. The first of them were very near the headquarters of the federal Security Service.

The mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, approached Park Kultury station, where the second bomb exploded.

He confirmed that there were two terrorist attacks, carried out by two women suicide bombers. “The bombs exploded when two cars crashed in order to cause as many victims as possible,” he said.

The two bombs exploded in the same underground line. A service used by 9 million passengers daily. Firefighters and rescue teams worked together since early that morning to evacuate the victims and restore traffic.

The last terrorist attack on the Moscow underground was in 2004 when 41 people were killed and 250 wounded. In the last decade the Russian capital has been the target of several bombings blamed on Chechen militants.

VOLCANO ERUPTION

IN ICELAND


Faced with the threat of a possible loss because of the ashes emerged from under the glacier Eyjafjall volcano in Iceland, Europe's aviation authorities closed the airspace of much of the continent.

The ash cloud caused by the eruption of a volcano in Iceland forced several European countries to close their airspace and to cancel numerous flights around the continent, leaving thousands of passengers stranded.

The restrictions affected thousands of passengers across Europe and the busiest airport of the mainland, Heathrow (London), which recorded 1,300 flights daily.

On the other hand, nearly 800 residents in the area near the volcano, and evacuated on Wednesday, returned home yesterday, but officials are closely monitoring the evolution of the volcano and do not rule out further evacuations. The situation in Iceland, a volcanic island where eruptions occur on average every three years, was relatively calm.

However, the Department of Health called on Iceland to stay home and not leave except for reasons of necessity, in which case the use of masks recommended for protection against toxic gases that can be sent into the atmosphere through ash.

The notice was addressed to the whole population and not just those residing in areas near the volcano, it was impossible to predict with certainty changes in wind direction.

The lava flows mixed with melted ice from the glacier, has caused a water level rise of nearly two meters into a river near Eyjafjall. Experts estimate that this eruption is ten times higher than that of the neighboring volcano Fimmvorduhals, produced in late March and went out last week.

What experts fear now is that these eruptions are a preview of the Katla volcano eruption, more powerful, as has happened on previous occasions.
