My Reaction after the election of Pope Benedict XVI

Below is what another blogger wrote after the election of Pope Benedict XVI. (Catholic Light)

"Accept that this is our faith... The Church isn't here to be constantly changed by the world; rather, she is here to change the world."

As a Catholic I agree with that.  We need to be less egocentric, (less self-centered), less self-serving, less selfish so the world can become a  better place.  If the Church had to follow our ways, we would not need to go to church and follow the teachings of the Church.  It's like wanting to tell Jesus what to teach!!! The Pope was duly elected. Conservatives, liberals,  and others, like it or not, he is the leader of the Church.  If we do not want to accept the teachings of the Church, we need to leave it, and open our own church.   J-F

Some said the jury were exclusively applying the laws of self-defense, as though justice were not also a combination of fairness, morality and good. I bet those women of that jury that got George Zimmerman free, without even a slap on the wrist, went to church thereafter. They should and must be asking themselves: What Jesus would have done? A nation or a country that cannot provide justice to its citizens would not enjoy peace, like Cain after he killed his brother Abel (Genesis 4:8) Carl Gilbert

Tandis qu’Israël continue ses ravages à Gaza, les médias enflamment la crise (3 langues)

                                                                                       Par Amy Goodman de Democracy Now Traduit de l'anglais Fran ç ais Alors qu'Israël intensifie sa réponse brutale à l'attaque brutale menée par l'organisation Hamas le 7 octobre, il est important d'entendre les voix de ceux qui se trouvent sur la ligne de feu, des deux côtés du conflit. Les principaux médias américains nous offrent constamment les voix des Israéliens qui ont subi les actes de violence du Hamas. J'aimerais que les médias couvrent également de cette manière la douleur dont souffre la population civile de Palestine, car nous entendons rarement sa voix. Écouter le récit des victimes dans leur propre voix est la première étape pour faire tomber les barrières et cultiver une c...
