Washington vetoes cardinal defended pedophilia silence before
sexual abuse victims get the Colombian Cardinal Dario Castrillon not officiate a Mass on Saturday.

Organisers of a mass in Washington in honor of the Pope decided to withdraw as officiating Colombian Cardinal last week defended the silence about child abuse, after receiving numerous complaints from victims of sexual abuse in the United States.

Cardinal Dario Castrillon, 80, was to lead a Mass on Saturday in the largest Latin U.S. Catholic basilica to mark the fifth anniversary of the proclamation as Pope Benedict XVI.

The organizers have decided to remove him after the controversy following the announcement that in 2001 wrote a letter congratulating a French priest to hide a case of child abuse to authorities.

Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP acronym) on Tuesday questioned the pope and the archbishop of Washington not to allow contact Castrillón mass.

Although both had publicly distanced Cardinal, none has been directly involved.

The decision to wean Castrillón as celebrant was taken by the Institute Paulus, the lay group that organizes the mass after local priests said they would not attend the office and that raised the level of public opposition to the event, reports the BBC journalist in Washington, Madeleine Morris.

An event reported

"Saturday's event had to be prepared for three years," said Morris. "Now, just three days of celebration, the organizers have to find a new officiating."

Mass in the Basilica of Washington is designed as a major event which will feature a choir of a hundred voices in Latin and Castrillón was chosen because of its recognized world authority on the nature of the office of Masses in Latin.

This is the first time in fifty years that is celebrated in Latin or Tridentine Mass in the Basilica of Washington.

After Golias French magazine last week published the controversial letter, Castrillón tried to justify saying that was approved by Pope John Paul II to send the letter.

SNAP Executive Director David Clohessy said, "the letter is the strongest offense received by the victims in the last decade."

Clohessy said that to allow Castrillón celebrate Mass, "we would be pouring salt on a fresh and deep wounds. "

Benedict XVI in Rome on Wednesday promised to act to end the sex abuse scandal in the Church in the most explicit reference has been made so far to the crisis by pedophilia scandals. BBC

a brutal brand of Catholicism
For

When Sunead O'connor was small, Catholic Ireland was a theocracy. If a bishop came down the street, people would move to let the step. If attending a sporting event, the team was coming to kneel and kiss his ring. If someone made a mistake, instead of saying "Nobody's perfect", we said "It could happen to a bishop."

This last sentence was more successful than we imagined. A few days ago, Pope Benedict XVI wrote a personal letter apologizing for calling him-somehow-to Ireland for decades of sexual abuse of minors by some priests who were supposed to be trusting these children. To many, the Pope's letter is an insult not only to our intelligence but our faith and our country. To understand why, we must bear in mind that the Irish have suffered a brutal brand of Catholicism based on the humiliation of children.

I myself lived. As a child, my mother, an abusive mother, the opposite of what should be a good mother encouraged me to steal in stores. Once I was caught and spent 18 months at the Training Centre An Grianán, an institution for children with behavior problems in Dublin, on the recommendation of a social worker. An Grianán Center was one of the now infamous "Magdalen laundries of" sponsored by the Church, which housed pregnant teenagers and young little tame. Worked in the basement laundry of the curates in sinks with cold water and soap cakes. Studying math and typing. We had little contact with our families. We earned no salary. In my case, at least one of the nuns was good to me and gave me my first guitar. An

Grianán was the product of the Irish government's relationship with the Vatican, the Church enjoyed a "special position" referred to in our Constitution until 1972. As recently as 2007, 98 percent of Irish schools was in the hands of Catholic Church. But schools for troubled youth have been rife with savage punishment, psychological abuse and sexual abuse. In October 2005 a report commissioned by the government identified more than 100 allegations of sexual abuse by priests between 1962 and 2002 in Ferns, a town about 100 miles south of Dublin. The police did not investigate the accused priests, said he was suffering from a problem "moral." In 2009, a similar report involving the Archbishops of Dublin in the concealment of sexual abuse scandals that occurred between 1975 and 2004.

Why tolerate such criminal behavior? According to the 2009 report, the "important role played by the Church in Irish life is the reason why is agreed that no end to the abuses committed by a minority of its members."

Despite the long relationship between the Church and the Irish government, the letter asks Pope Benedict XVI, in theory, forgiveness does not assume any liability for infringements of Irish priests. Says that "the Church in Ireland must acknowledge before the Lord and to other serious sins committed against a defenseless children." What about the Vatican's complicity in these sins?

In his text, Benedict gives the impression that it has recently learned of the abuses and comes as a victim: "I have no choice but to share the heartache and the sense of betrayal you have experienced so many of you to know about them sinful and criminal acts, and how they dealt with the ecclesiastical authorities in Ireland. " However, the infamous letter sent by Benedict in 2001 to bishops around the world were ordered to keep secret allegations of sexual abuse under pain of excommunication, ie updated a pernicious policy of the Church, expressed in a document 1962, which stated that both the accused priests sexual crimes and their victims should "observe the strictest secrecy" and "face eternal silence."

Benedict, then Joseph Ratzinger, was a cardinal when he wrote that letter. Today, when it occupies the chair of St. Peter, are we to believe that his opinion has changed? And we will settle at recent revelations that in 1996 he refused to remove a priest accused of abusing up to 200 deaf children in the U.S. state of Wisconsin?
Benedict's letter stated that his concern is "mostly help heal the victims." However, denied that could heal them: a confession Vatican clear that concealed the abuse and is now trying to conceal the hiding. Surprisingly, the Pope invites Catholics to "offer your fast, your prayers, your reading of the Scriptures and your works of mercy for the grace of healing and renewal of the Church of Ireland." And it suggests, even more amazing, that victims can heal Irish getting closer to the Church, the Church which required vows of silence to child victims of abuse, as occurred in 1975 in the case of Father Brendan Smyth, a priest Irishman who later ended up in prison for repeated sexual offenses. Many Irish, when we stopped laughing, we said that the idea that we need to approach the church Jesus is a blasphemy.

For Irish Catholics, as Benedict suggests, that sexual abuse in Ireland is an Irish problem "is arrogant and blasphemous. The Vatican is acting as if he did not believe in a God who sees everything. Those who claim to be the guardians of the Holy Spirit are dedicated to crush all that the Holy Spirit is. Benedict is guilty of giving a false image of God we worship. We all know in the bottom of our hearts that the Holy Spirit is the truth. So we know that Christ is not with those who call upon him so frequency.

Irish Catholics have a dysfunctional relationship with an organization that commits abuses. The pope must take responsibility for the actions of their subordinates. If Catholic priests who abuse children, it is Rome, and not Dublin, it should respond with a full confession and undergoing a criminal investigation. Until it does, all good Catholics, including old ladies who go to church every Sunday, not just protest singers like me, who can ignore the Vatican without problem, should stop visiting the temple. It is time that Ireland split up to our God of our religion and faith of their supposed leaders.

almost 18 years ago broke a photo of Pope John Paul II in an episode of Saturday Night Live. Many did not understand the objection, the following week, the program's guest host, actor Joe Pesci, said that had he been present, I "would have been slapped." I knew that my actions would cause problems, but wanted to provoke a necessary debate, this is one of the ingredients of being an artist. My only regret was that people thought he did not believe in God. Not true at all. I am Catholic by birth and culture, and be the first to show up at the door of the Church when the Vatican offered a sincere reconciliation.

As Ireland supports the offensive letter to Rome asking for forgiveness and an Irish bishop resigns, ask Americans to understand why an Irish Catholic woman who survived abuse as a child might want to break the photo of the Pope. And to think if the Irish Catholics, not daring to say "deserve better", we should be treated as though we deserved something worse.

This is the letter that Sinead O'Connor was released in the United States last week after Benedict XVI's apology for child abuse committed by Catholic priests in Ireland.

Robert Updegraff Biography

concern U na round my head: Do animals have orgasms? or are so superior and created so "perfectly" what "sin" is unique to us, the great human.

This concern came to me to observe the behavior of my pet: a rabbit. I think that as a lover of observation and research could not stay without finding out. My rabbit, a male teenager in the middle stage of sexual pleasure, as it takes to simulate mating appears, it should be noted that no female companion and lives alone with us. He takes people either arm or leg (where can first), but sometimes I like to play with a stuffed doll.

the other day watching him play with her doll, had an unusual behavior after a while of being "mating" with the toy, made a sound he had never heard, as a kind of groan, subsequently writhed on the floor as if I had a terrible stomachache. I thought he was hurt and went to see what happened. Oh surprise! my rabbit had ejaculated on her toy.

I have persisted since then and apparently the pleasure he got was great, as it seeks a toy all the time and also desperate for him to the point where I jump furious and urine when I do not give.

animals are believed to reproduce only copulated, but reading a little about the subject I found some research of ethologists (animal behavior study) found that animals feel sexual pleasure, there gay relationships and also tend to have strange sexual appetites, and not very distant from humans. When the first orgasm of a cow and have discovered through research that our cousins \u200b\u200bthe apes are the ones who have shown "symptoms" of orgasms through studies of heart rate, breathing, among others. So according

this I can think my rabbit underwent its first orgasm with a little stuffed toy that is close to the reality of a female of his species, do not forget also that he likes to copulate with arms or legs of anyone who dares.

So it seems that our sexuality is not as exclusive as it used to think animals go there could even learn from them.

Orgasm addicted

A game has caught me in her mantle of extraordinary and fantastic beings, landscapes, color, magic and strengths. For some little time I began the adventure of an online game that has me literally on their networks. What is questionable is that makes such game is so compelling, I know I'm not alone, including older people know in this hobby has found the best way to have fun.

me think that perhaps they addicted to this game, which does not sound pleasant, but I take it positively. The other day I saw a program on NatGeo showing the influence of gambling on the lives of people. The perspective is clear: these games eg RMIT people to live in a fantasy world peor Feeling leaders and masters of their own adventure. Besides interacting with other virtually out of the ordinary to be respected by others, to be a guide, comrade in arms, friend or colleague simply adventure.

And is that not the influence is nothing short of virtual relations in the lives of people. Some argue that the socialization of individuals is restricted to the point that peace is only in the virtual social relationships. And it is not think so, and we've been sending us messages in horses by persons responsible for such a purpose, to move to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world in a quick, direct and mostly virtual.

already have facebook friends, those of my space, social networks and additionally other friends that are achieved through the exciting world of games line. No talk here of young teenagers trapped in the virtual communication networks, it's about people working adult and / or studying, but finds more pleasure in these adventures which is the star in the reality.

This could suggest that prob-ably face social relations are moving into the background, that is to be noticed because today is almost impossible to live without the Internet, computer and cell phone of course. The technology has arrived with all, we had caught carelessly, we have rounded up and above all hooked to this connection that we can not make our social life tolerable. What

is your virtual service?
