OUR DISCLAIMER: NOTE: THE DISCLAIMER APPLIES TO US:

The SACBC: Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference; are a Catholic hierarchical (structural) body. Sometimes their dispatches may have a certain political, or practical perspective, they may even mention neutrally, or positively: a grouping, or person we openly appose: we do not however mean to endorse any group, or person that they are working together with, nor does this mean that such a group is acceptable to the church: only that for practicality: they may be working together with such, nor does it imply that such a group is not in some way affiliated, we simply advise against using this to see any affiliation, as we think this pointless. We do not endorse whom they endorse, nor their own views, or opinions or needs, nor do we guarantee their accuracy as a source: any complaints as to accuracy of their claims, can be given to us, however: to attempt to fix such; I advise approaching the source: as all we can do is remove a dispatch, and maybe tell them, or right an article, based on their information, or else write a warning from us, or an article on the error, or a retraction for our publishing, if we have a desire to clarify our part in any such thing, or say something may be wrong.

What they say is their personal perspective; and they, not us must be held fully accountable for their own words, we can change some things, though not direct quotes: but it is them you must approach for changes or retractions from them. We do not guarantee the accuracy of their news and views, nor endorse the content of their dispatches, by posting them, their views do not represent those of Our Service, nor of person, bodies, organizations, nor of groups in any way associated with Our Service, and this disclaimer applies also to those who post this disclaimer, with a dispatch, which we have accessed, in any manner, from the bishops: so far as it is posted with the permission of those responsible for such: or by the conditions given, by Our Service: these are not our words, which we post, when posting directly, what the bishops say, but theirs, and there is no endorsement herein, only reporting, rather: their views are purely their own views, even as due to similarities, such as fidelity to certain principles, and to possible use of some shared organizations: their views expressed, may even identically reflect our own so far as our beliefs may be similar due to these, as with some perspectives. This is purely due to “circumstance”, and not intended as an endorsement of them, nor does it imply that we endorse in any manner whatsoever, any statement they make, have made, or in the future: shall make. Due to practicality, or for whatever purpose, also, they may at times work with organizations: which our news service/s, or affiliations, or those posting such: openly appose. Posting information from the SACBC is further not to be considered endorsement of the SACBC or any representative or affiliate of theirs, or member therein. They speak entirely in their own capacity, and not in ours!

Latin Mass Schedules in November, December- quotation is not an endorsement

Article posted by: scripturelink

Survey on Article:

Location of Note: Johannesburg, South Africa

(Tridentine South Africa)

Note by Marc Aupiais

We have not noted an update from Una Voce South Africa, since their decision to endorse a schismatic, and subsequent failed attempt to send a message to our subscribers without our permission, in order to confront our service. We did, however, allow the group to give their response, as we also allowed the SSPX locally to.

Here is the schedule of masses, noted by the grouping in PE and Johannesburg. As our organization played a large role in publicising the Johannesburg Mass, we can confirm that it is in fact licit. The PE mass, we are somewhat sure, though not entirely confident: is licit, as we spent several hours researching a mass held by what seemed to be the same priest (who had been Mgr John Clark), but not seemingly at the parish then mentioned; via email and phone, with local authorities, when we were still co-operating with Una Voce, in the interest of the public:

We certainly do not endorse Una Voce South Africa, due to their glorification of schismatic actions, what will follow is a small quotation from their main and only website, a quotation made by us of them: for the public interest. We have not verified their claims:

This quotation is via "fair use":

"Port Elizabeth
Location: St Vincent's Church, Dennehout Street, Algoa Park.

Fridays at 5:30pm.

Johannesburg
Location: Christ the King Cathedral, cnr Saratoga Ave and End Street.

Roman Catholic Pontiff to FAO summit: Empathy, moral business, lack of waste, access to fair markets: ways to reduce global hunger, "climate changes"

Article posted by: scripturelink

Survey on Article:

Location of Note: Rome, Italy

(World Tainted Green)

[English; Afrikaans; français]

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Roman Catholic Pontiff, recently portrayed access to markets, empathy with and respect for those with less, and preventing waste as sure ways forward in the fight against hunger, "climate change".

The FOA (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations [UN]), along with other ground-level players, have increasingly emphasized local production over imported food aid, and a need to stimulate local markets, and educate farmers, and built infrastructure in food insecure areas. The majority of infrastructure, at least in the case of systems such as railways, on the African continent, is in one country: the Republic of South Africa, which itself does not spend enough on infrastructure in general.

The following will be a quotation (with paragraphing added), of the Vatican's Missionary News Service, Agenzia Fides, which notes a speech by the Roman Catholic Pontiff to a summit hosted by the the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. Quoting their article does not mean endorsement of the organization or their article, we provide this quotation in the interest of the public:

"
VATICANO
VATICAN - Holy Father tells FAO Summit: “Hunger is the most cruel and concrete sign of poverty. Opulence and waste are no longer acceptable when the tragedy of hunger is assuming ever greater proportions.”
Rome (Agenzia Fides) - “Hunger is the most cruel and concrete sign of poverty. Opulence and waste are no longer acceptable when the tragedy of hunger is assuming ever greater proportions.” This is what the Holy Father Benedict XVI said in his address on November 26 at the FAO headquarters in Rome, on the opening of the World Summit on Food Security.

In his address, the Pope recalled that although “statistics bear witness to the dramatic growth in the number of people suffering from hunger,” it has also been confirmed that “the world has enough food for all its inhabitants” and that “there is no cause-and-effect relationship between population growth and hunger.” Reiterating what he had affirmed in his Encyclical Caritas in veritate, Benedict XVI mentioned that “the problem of food insecurity needs to be addressed within a long-term perspective, eliminating the structural causes that give rise to it and promoting the agricultural development of poorer countries,” and “the need to oppose those forms of aid that do grave damage to the agricultural sector, those approaches to food production that are geared solely towards consumption and lack a wider perspective, and especially greed, which causes speculation to rear its head even in the marketing of cereals, as if food were to be treated just like any other commodity.”

The Pontiff then reflected on the “weakness of current mechanisms for food security and the need to re-examine them,” highlighting that the concept of cooperation should be coherent with the principle of subsidiarity. “With regard to countries that are in need of external support, the international community has the duty to assist with the instruments of cooperation, assuming collective responsibility for their development,” the Pope said. “In this way, cooperation must become an effective instrument, unbeholden to interests that can absorb a not insignificant part of the resources destined for development.”

Benedict XVI also mentioned the risk of considering hunger “as structural, an integral part of the socio-political situation of the weakest countries, a matter of resigned regret, if not downright indifference.” “It is not so, and it must never be so!” the Pope exclaimed, saying that it was essential to “start redefining the concepts and principles that have hitherto governed international relations,” as “only in the name of common membership of the worldwide human family can every people and therefore every country be asked to practice solidarity, that is, to shoulder the burden of concrete responsibilities in meeting the needs of others, so as to favor the genuine sharing of goods, founded on love.”

To eliminate hunger, international action cannot limit itself to “international action is needed not only to promote balanced and sustainable economic growth and political stability, but also to seek out new parameters – primarily ethical but also juridical and economic ones – capable of inspiring the degree of cooperation required to build a relationship of parity between countries at different stages of development.”

In the second part of his address, the Holy Father indicated several necessary steps to take to combat hunger, promoting an integral human development: not view the rural world as something of secondary importance; favor access to the international market of products from the poorest areas; separate the rules of international trade from the logic of profit viewed as an end in itself. “Nor must the fundamental rights of the individual be forgotten, which include, of course, the right to sufficient, healthy and nutritious food, and likewise water; these rights take on an important role in the realization of others, beginning with the primary one, the right to life.”

Methods of food production likewise demand attentive analysis of the relationship between development and protection of the environment, as “the desire to possess and to exploit the resources of the planet in an excessive and disordered manner is the primary cause of all environmental degradation.” In this sense, the interaction between environmental protection and climate changes are further examined and the human person, especially the most vulnerable populations, are placed at the heart of both phenomena.

“Norms, legislation, development plans and investments are not enough, however: what is needed is a change in the lifestyles of individuals and communities, in habits of consumption and in perceptions of what is genuinely needed. Most of all, there is a moral duty to distinguish between good and evil in human action, so as to rediscover the bond of communion that unites the human person and creation,” the Pope warned.

In concluding his address, Benedict XVI mentioned the Church's commitment, without interfering in political decisions: “she respects the knowledge gained through scientific study, and decisions arrived at through reason responsibly enlightened by authentically human values, and she supports the effort to eliminate hunger. This is the most immediate and concrete sign of solidarity inspired by charity, and it brooks neither delay nor compromise.” (SL) (Agenzia Fides 17/11/2009)"

Un pontife catholique au sommet de la FAO: L'empathie, les affaires morales, l'absence de déchets, l'accès aux marchés équitables: les moyens pour réduire la faim mondiale, "les changements climatiques"

Geo: Rome, Italie

Réactions:

(Tainted World Green)

Article par Marc Aupiais

Le pontife catholique, a récemment décrit l'accès aux marchés, l'empathie et le respect de ceux qui ont moins, et la prévention des déchets aussi sûr moyens de progresser dans la lutte contre la faim "changement climatique".

La FOA (Food and Agricultural Organisation des Nations Unies [ONU]), avec sol autres joueurs de niveau, ont de plus en plus insisté sur la production locale sur l'aide alimentaire importée, et la nécessité de stimuler les marchés locaux, et former les agriculteurs et l'infrastructure construite en zones d'insécurité alimentaire. La majorité des infrastructures, du moins dans le cas de systèmes tels que les chemins de fer, sur le continent africain, est dans un seul pays: la République d'Afrique du Sud, qui lui-même ne dépense pas assez sur les infrastructures en général.

Les éléments suivants seront un devis (avec en paragraphes ajoutés), du Vatican's Missionary Service Nouvelles, Agenzia Fides, qui note un discours prononcé par le Pontife catholique à un sommet organisé par l'Organisation pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture de l'Organisation des Nations Unies. Citant leur article ne signifie pas l'approbation de l'organisme ou de leur article, nous fournissons cette citation dans l'intérêt du public:

"
VATICANO
VATICAN - Saint-Père, raconte Sommet de la FAO: «La faim est le signe le plus cruel et le béton de la pauvreté. L'opulence et le gaspillage ne sont plus acceptables lorsque la tragédie de la faim prend des proportions toujours plus grande. "
Rome (Agence Fides) - «La faim est le signe le plus cruel et le béton de la pauvreté. L'opulence et le gaspillage ne sont plus acceptables lorsque la tragédie de la faim prend des proportions toujours plus grande. " C'est ce que le Saint-Père Benoît XVI a dit dans son discours sur Novembre 26 au siège de la FAO à Rome, sur l'ouverture du Sommet mondial sur la sécurité alimentaire.

Dans son discours, le Pape a rappelé que bien que "les statistiques témoignent de la croissance spectaculaire du nombre de personnes souffrant de la faim", il a également été confirmé que «le monde a suffisamment de nourriture pour tous ses habitants» et que «il n'ya pas de cause à effet entre la croissance démographique et la faim. " Réitérant ce qu'il avait affirmé dans son encyclique Caritas in veritate, Benoît XVI a mentionné que «le problème de l'insécurité alimentaire doit être abordée dans une perspective à long terme, l'élimination des causes structurelles qui lui donnent naissance et de promouvoir le développement agricole des pays pauvres », et« la nécessité de s'opposer à ces formes d'aide qui ne graves dommages au secteur agricole, ces approches à la production alimentaire qui sont orientés exclusivement vers la consommation et l'absence d'une perspective plus large, et en particulier la cupidité, ce qui entraîne la spéculation à l'arrière de sa tête, même dans la commercialisation de céréales, comme si la nourriture devaient être traités comme n'importe quelle autre marchandise. "

Le Pontife ensuite réfléchi sur la «faiblesse des mécanismes actuels de sécurité alimentaire et la nécessité de ré-examiner», soulignant que le concept de coopération devrait être cohérent avec le principe de subsidiarité. "En ce qui concerne les pays qui sont dans le besoin de l'appui extérieur, la communauté internationale a le devoir d'aider avec les instruments de la coopération, assumer une responsabilité collective pour assurer leur développement", a dit le pape. «De cette façon, la coopération doit devenir un instrument efficace, unbeholden à des intérêts qui peuvent absorber une part non négligeable des ressources destinées au développement."

Benoît XVI a aussi évoqué le risque de l'examen de la faim "comme structurelle, qui fait partie intégrante de la situation socio-politique des pays les plus faibles, un sujet de regret résigné, sinon carrément l'indifférence." «Ce n'est pas ainsi, et il ne doit jamais l'être!" s'écria le pape, en disant qu'il était essentiel à "commencer à redéfinir les concepts et les principes qui ont jusque-là régi les relations internationales", puisque "seulement au nom de l'appartenance commune de la famille humaine à travers le monde peuvent tous les peuples et par conséquent chaque pays devrait être demandé à la pratique la solidarité, qui est, d'assumer la charge des responsabilités concrètes dans le respect des besoins des autres, de manière à favoriser le partage véritable des marchandises, fondé sur l'amour. "

Pour éliminer la faim, l'action internationale ne peut se limiter à "une action internationale est nécessaire non seulement pour promouvoir un développement équilibré et durable de la croissance économique et la stabilité politique, mais aussi à chercher de nouveaux paramètres - principalement éthiques, mais aussi juridique et économique Ones - capable d'inspirer le degré de coopération nécessaires pour bâtir une relation de parité entre pays à des stades différents de développement. "

Dans la seconde partie de son discours, le Saint-Père a indiqué quelques mesures nécessaires à prendre pour combattre la faim, la promotion d'un développement humain intégral: pas l'opinion du monde rural comme quelque chose d'une importance secondaire; favoriser l'accès au marché international des produits issus des régions les plus pauvres ; séparer les règles du commerce international à partir de la logique du profit considéré comme une fin en soi. "Il ne faut les droits fondamentaux de l'individu soit oublié, ce qui inclut, bien entendu, le droit à une nourriture suffisante, les aliments sains et nutritifs, de même que les eaux, les droits de jouer un rôle important dans la réalisation d'autres droits, à commencer par la principale , le droit à la vie. "

Méthodes de production alimentaire demande également une analyse attentive de la relation entre développement et protection de l'environnement, comme «le désir de posséder et d'exploiter les ressources de la planète d'une manière excessive et désordonnée est la cause primaire de toute la dégradation de l'environnement." En ce sens, l'interaction entre la protection de l'environnement et les changements climatiques sont examinées plus en détail et de la personne humaine, en particulier les populations les plus vulnérables, sont placées au cœur de ces deux phénomènes.

«Les normes, la législation, les plans de développement et les investissements ne suffisent pas, cependant: ce qu'il faut, c'est un changement dans les modes de vie des individus et des communautés, dans les habitudes de consommation et des perceptions de ce qui est véritablement nécessaire. Surtout, il existe un devoir moral de faire la distinction entre le bien et le mal dans l'action humaine, afin de redécouvrir le lien de communion qui unit la personne humaine et de création », le pape a mis en garde.

En conclusion de son allocution, Benoît XVI a mentionné l'engagement de l'Eglise, sans interférer dans les décisions politiques: «elle respecte les connaissances acquises par l'étude scientifique, et des décisions prises par la raison éclairée par la responsable valeurs authentiquement humaines, et elle soutient l'effort pour éliminer la faim. Ceci est le signe le plus immédiat et concret de solidarité mû par la charité, et il ruisseaux ni retarder ni compromettre. (SL) (Agence Fides 17/11/2009) "

Europe faces collapse starting 2010- report given EU Parliament

Article posted by: scripturelink

Survey on Article:

(Social Justice South Africa)

[English; Afrikaans; français]

According to LifeSiteNews.com, a reliable pro-life service, a report has been given to the European Union's (EU) Parliament, warning of disasterous effects if the EU does not turn around its abortion spurred local population decline.

The report also warns of the effects of a decline in marriage and increase in divorce.

To demonstrate why these statistics by lifesitenews are concerning, one need only look at a 2008 article by Mark Easton, the BBC's home editor: BBC Reporters (Secular; Governmental; British) 24 / 09 | September / 2008), which details some of the consequences on broken families or single parent homes. A recent study released by the Department of Oncology of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, where abortion is encouraged even with tax benifits, by the government, and where it is not taboo, found that abortion, which the WHO (World Health Organization) notes can have at least 5 years effect on women psychologically, can increase a woman's susceptibility to Breast Cancer by 17% (CNA [Catholic News Agency] (Catholic; Independent; American; Articles designed to be published in secular papers) 13 / 11 | November / 2009). A number of other services, including Canada's Globe and Mail (Secular; Independent; Canadian; Liberal) have increasingly warned of the effect society driven population reduction may have on the world economy and on the economies in the West. The statements of the WHO that abortion can have long term psychological effects on women, is furthered by the University of Oslo, which finds that one in every five women who have an abortion, are still affected five years later, and that women who have abortions have to avoid thinking about it (BBC World News (Secular; Governmental; British) 12 / 12 | December / 2005) .

ROME, November 16, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The news about abortion, marriage, divorce and the birth rate in Europe is bad and only getting worse, a report recently presented to the EU said.
According to the report by Norway's Institute for Family Policies abortion rates in Britain have leaped by a third among unmarried teenage girls and abortion is helping to age the population of Europe. Without a massive shift to family-friendly policies, the pattern of increased abortion and increasingly aging population will inevitably lead to the collapse of social welfare benefits, and, ultimately, to the bankruptcy of Europe's cradle-to-grave socialist welfare state.
Presented to the European Parliament on Wednesday, the report said that the situation of the family in Europe is "a desolate panorama."
"Europe is plunged in an unprecedented demographic winter and has become an elderly continent, with a large birth deficit, fewer marriages and more of them broken, homes emptying."
"The aging population, critical birth-rate, escalating abortions, the collapse of marriage, the explosion in family breakups and the emptying of homes are the main problems of Europeans," the 2009 Report on the Evolution of the Family in Europesaid.
The study found that the annual number of abortions in the EU equals the entire combined population of its ten smallest member states, with the three top aborting countries being Britain, France and Romania. In Europe there is one abortion every 25 seconds, for a total of more than 1,200,000 abortions a year. 19 percent of all European pregnancies end in abortion and 28 million children have been killed by abortion since 1990, making abortion the main cause of death in Europe.
The population over 65 years in all European states already exceeds the population under 14 years. The EU under 14 population has fallen from 89 million in 1993 to 78.4 million in 2008. Over-65s have risen from 68.3 million in 1993 to 84.9 million in 2008 - an increase of 16.5 million elderly people. The average age of EU citizens is 40.3 years, with Italy and Germany having the highest populations of elderly people.
The dropping European birth rate, the report says, with its concomitant increasing health and pension costs, will lead to increases in public expenditure to care for the aging population and the eventual collapse of public revenues, leading finally to the bankruptcy of the welfare state. The average birth rate of EU countries is now 1.38 per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman, even in relatively fertile countries like France.
Without a significant shift in family policies in all EU countries, the report predicts the result will be "catastrophic." Starting in 2010, the population of Europe overall will begin to fall from 499 million to 472 million by 2050 and every third inhabitant will be over 65.
According to the study, Britain is the "abortion capital of Europe" with rates that last year pulled ahead of France. Its abortion rate is fifth in the world, behind Russia, the U.S., India and Japan. Among these countries, Britain can least afford such a high rate, with a population less than half that of Russia and Japan, a fifth that of the US, and 1/19 that of India. The median age of women in Britain is also rising, at 41.3 years, making recovery even more difficult.
The population of the 27 EU nations reached 500 million last year with most increases in population (78 per cent) attributable to immigration, not births. The natural increase of Europe's population is 12 times lower than the US. Spain has immigration 9 times greater than its internal birth increase and Italy's native population fell (-0.14 million) and had 23 times more immigrants than births (+3.28 million). Poland, Romania and Bulgaria are losing citizens by emigration and Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria have falling populations due to low immigration rates.
Only France, Holland, Finland and Slovakia have internal rates of population increase higher than their immigration figures.
Other indicators show the number of marriages, especially first marriages, is down and divorce rates are up. There are 1 in 4 fewer marriages than in 1980 and the marriage rate has fallen in 9 out 10 countries. One out of every 3 children (36.5 per cent) is born outside marriage. In some countries the fall in marriage rate has been around 50 per cent since 1983 and there are over one million divorces a year, the equivalent to one marital breakdown every 30 seconds.
More people (55 million) are living alone than ever before. One in four households in Europe has a single dweller and two out of three households have no children. Of the households with children, 50 per cent have only one child.
The report recommends the creation of a European Union ministry of the family, laws to increase flexibility of working hours to accommodate families, increases in tax benefits for families and an emphasis on family welfare programs over welfare for individuals.
It calls for governments to recognize the rights of families, including the right of parents to reconcile work and family life; to have the number of children they want; to choose the type of education their children receive and the right of children to live in a stable home.

Europe est confrontée à l'effondrement de départ 2010 - rapport de l'UE donné Parlement

(La justice sociale en Afrique du Sud, ["Social Justice South Africa"])

Selon LifeSiteNews.com, un pro service fiable vie, un rapport a été donnée à (UE de l'Union européenne), le Parlement, l'alerte des effets désastreux si l'UE ne tourne pas autour de son avortement stimulé déclin de la population locale.

Le rapport met également en garde sur les effets d'un déclin dans le mariage et l'augmentation de divorce.

Pour démontrer pourquoi ces statistiques sont lifesitenews concernant, il suffit de regarder un article de 2008 par Mark Easton, éditeur de la maison de la BBC: Reporters BBC (séculier; gouvernemental; britannique)24 / 09 | Septembre / 2008), qui détaille certains des conséquences sur la désintégration des familles ou des foyers monoparentaux. Une étude récente publiée par le département d'oncologie du Premier hôpital affilié à l'Université de médecine de Chine, où l'avortement est encouragée même avec des avantages fiscaux, par le gouvernement, et où il n'est pas tabou, a constaté que l'avortement, que l'OMS (Organisation mondiale de la Santé ) note peut avoir au moins 5 ans d'effet sur les femmes psychologiquement, peut augmenter la vulnérabilité d'une femme de cancer du sein de 17% (ANC [Nouvelles catholiques Agency] (catholique; indépendants; américaine, les articles destinés à être publiés dans les journaux laïques) 13 / 11 | Novembre / 2009). Un certain nombre d'autres services, notamment canadien Globe and Mail (séculier; indépendants; canadien, Parti libéral) ont de plus en plus averti de la société de l'effet de réduction de la population conduit mai avoir sur l'économie mondiale et sur l'économie de l'Ouest. Les déclarations de l'OMS que l'avortement peut avoir des effets psychologiques à long terme sur les femmes, est favorisé par l'Université d'Oslo, qui trouve que l'un sur cinq femmes qui ont un avortement, sont toujours affectées cinq ans plus tard, et que les femmes qui avortent doivent éviter de penser à ce sujet (BBC World Nouvelles (séculaire; gouvernemental; britannique) 12 / 12 | Décembre / 2005).

Massive changements nécessaires dans l'UE de la politique familiale à éviter démographiques "Catastrophe": Rapport
Par Hilary White
ROME, Novembre 16, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Les nouvelles sur l'avortement, le mariage, le divorce et le taux de natalité en Europe est mauvaise et ne fait que s'aggraver, un rapport présenté récemment à l'UE a dit.
Selon le rapport de l'Institut norvégien pour les taux d'avortement Politiques familiales en Grande-Bretagne ont bondi d'un tiers chez les adolescentes célibataires et l'avortement contribue à l'âge de la population de l'Europe. Sans un recours massif à des politiques familiales, le motif de l'avortement de plus en plus accrue et vieillissement de la population va inévitablement conduire à l'effondrement de prestations sociales, et, finalement, à la faillite de l'Europe berceau à la tombe Etat providence socialiste.
Présenté au Parlement européen du mercredi, le rapport dit que la situation de la famille en Europe est "un panorama de la désolation.
«L'Europe est plongée dans un hiver démographique sans précédent et est devenue un continent âgé, avec un déficit des naissances grandes, les mariages moins nombreux et plusieurs d'entre eux cassés, les maisons de vidange."
«Le vieillissement de la population, la naissance critiques taux, l'escalade des avortements, l'effondrement du mariage, l'explosion en cas de rupture familiale et la vidange des habitations sont les principaux problèmes des Européens,« leRapport 2009 sur l'évolution de la famille en Europe dit.
L'étude a révélé que le nombre annuel d'avortements pratiqués dans l'UE est égale à l'ensemble de la population combinée de ses dix plus petits États membres, avec les trois principaux pays d'avorter étant la Grande-Bretagne, la France et la Roumanie. En Europe, il est l'un avortement toutes les 25 secondes, pour un total de plus de 1.200.000 d'avortements par an. 19 pour cent de l'ensemble des grossesses se terminent par un avortement européenne et 28 millions d'enfants ont été tués par l'avortement depuis 1990, fait de l'avortement la principale cause de décès en Europe.
La population de plus de 65 ans dans tous les Etats européens dépasse déjà la population de moins de 14 ans. L'UE a moins de 14 ans la population a diminué de 89 millions en 1993 à 78,4 millions en 2008. Plus de 65 ans ont augmenté de 68,3 millions d'euros en 1993 à 84,9 millions en 2008 - une augmentation de 16,5 millions de personnes âgées. L'âge moyen des citoyens de l'UE est de 40,3 ans, avec l'Italie et l'Allemagne où vivent les populations les plus élevés de personnes âgées.
Le taux d'abandon de natalité en Europe, indique le rapport, avec des coûts à sa santé concomitante croissante et de retraites, devront conduire à une augmentation des dépenses publiques de soins pour la population vieillissante et l'effondrement des recettes publiques, qui a finalement abouti à la faillite de l'État providence. Le taux moyen de natalité des pays de l'UE est désormais 1,38 par femme, bien en deçà du taux de remplacement de 2,1 naissances par femme, même dans les pays relativement fertiles comme la France.
Sans un changement important dans les politiques familiales dans tous les pays de l'UE, le rapport prédit le résultat sera "catastrophique". A partir de 2010, la population globale de l'Europe commence à se réduire de 499 millions à 472 millions en 2050, et chaque habitant tiers seront plus de 65 ans.
Selon l'étude, la Grande-Bretagne est la capitale de "l'avortement de l'Europe» avec des taux que l'an dernier pris la tête de la France. Son taux d'avortement est au cinquième rang mondial, derrière la Russie, les Etats-Unis, l'Inde et le Japon.Parmi ces pays, la Grande-Bretagne peuvent le moins se permettre une telle cadence, avec une population inférieure à la moitié de celle de la Russie et le Japon, un cinquième de celui des États-Unis, et 1 / 19 que de l'Inde. L'âge médian des femmes en Grande-Bretagne est aussi en hausse, à 41,3 ans, rend le redressement plus difficile encore.
La population de l'UE à 27 pays ont atteint 500 millions l'an dernier avec la plupart des augmentations de la population (78 pour cent) attribuable à l'immigration, et non les naissances.L'accroissement naturel de la population européenne est de 12 fois plus faible qu'aux États-Unis. L'Espagne a l'immigration 9 fois plus que sa hausse naissance internes et la population indigène de l'Italie a chuté (-0,14 millions d'euros) et avait 23 fois plus d'immigrants que de naissances (3,28 millions). Pologne, la Roumanie et la Bulgarie font perdre aux citoyens par l'émigration et de la Lituanie, la Lettonie, la Roumanie et la Bulgarie ont des populations baisse en raison de faibles taux d'immigration.
Seules la France, la Hollande, la Finlande et la Slovaquie ont un taux interne de population plus élevée augmentation de leurs chiffres d'immigration.
D'autres indicateurs montrent le nombre de mariages, les mariages plus particulièrement les premières, est en baisse et les taux de divorce sont en hausse. Il ya 1 en 4 mariages de moins qu'en 1980 et le taux de nuptialité a diminué dans 9 des 10 pays. Une personne sur 3 enfants (36,5 pour cent) est né hors mariage. Dans certains pays, la chute du taux de mariage a été d'environ 50 pour cent depuis 1983 et il ya plus d'un million de divorces par an, l'équivalent d'une rupture conjugale toutes les 30 secondes.
Plus de personnes (55 millions) vivent seuls que jamais auparavant. Un ménage sur quatre en Europe a un habitant de simple et deux ménages sur trois n'ont pas d'enfants. Parmi les ménages avec enfants, 50 pour cent ont un seul enfant.
Le rapport recommande la création d'un ministère de l'Union européenne de la famille, des lois visant à accroître la flexibilité des horaires de travail pour accueillir des familles, l'augmentation des avantages fiscaux pour les familles et l'accent mis sur les programmes de protection de la famille sur le bien-être des individus.
Il exhorte les gouvernements à reconnaître les droits des familles, y compris le droit des parents à concilier travail et vie de famille, d'avoir le nombre d'enfants qu'ils souhaitent, de choisir le type d'éducation à leurs enfants et le droit des enfants à vivre dans un foyer stable.

Fort Hood Obama's 9/11: as US State ignored all the signs...

Article posted by: scripturelink

Article by Marc Aupiais

It now appears, from media reports, that the Fort Hood massacre, allegedly conducted by thirty-nine (39) year old Major Nidal M. Hasam, has all the downfalls of US intelligence that 9/11 made famous.

The alleged killer, a psychiatrist, has reportedly served the US (United States of America) military for over 12 years, with service pre-dating 9/11, and America’s subsequent "War on Terror". According to the media, he is alleged to have conducted many flag raising activities, from claiming non-Muslims should be tortured and graphically killed: to his fellow military health professionals, to talking with a radical Imam- via emails reportedly seen as harmless, by intelligence officials, to reportedly partaking in the transfer of money between the US and Pakistan, a country in an open civil war with the Taliban and with Al Qaeda. The alleged killer further is said to have not wanted to be deployed to Iraq, where he was planned to be deployed, when he allegedly committed the massacre.

According to CBS (CBS (Secular; Independent; American; More Left Leaning) 14 / 11 | November / 2009), a joint counter-terrorism taskforce under the not so watchful eye of the American FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had known since December 2008, of between 10 and 20 emails between the alleged Fort Hood shooter, and a radical Jihadist Imam, an imam who the Washington Post identifies as Anwar al-Aulaqi, a US citizen living in Yemen, who encouraged Muslims to kill American troops in the theatres of conflict it is involved in in the Middle East.

The Washington Post adds that it was not one, but two intelligence task teams who were alerted to this, with a member of one of these, thinking the emails nothing more than research, which the army psychiatrist, now known for allegations that he conducted the Fort Hood killings, had been encouraged to conduct.

The alleged killer of 14 people, including a pregnant woman and her unborn child, was known to have sympathies with those fighting against America in Iraq, allegedly requesting unsuccessfully, that not only he, but all Muslims be freed from serving in the American military, as conscientious objectors.

Although his military lawyer would not comment to the Washington Post about any formal request:

His aunt even claimed that Hassam consulted a lawyer in desperation to be discharged, something the Washington Post seems to give some credibility to: via its article: in its quoting of an unnamed defence official, who claimed that Hassam’s training had cost the US military money, and therefore that it was unlikely he would be released from duty.

The alleged killer: Hassam, further gave a PowerPoint presentation, according to the National Review (National Review Online (Secular; Independent; American; Right Leaning) 10 / 11 | November / 2009 ), seemingly in 2007 still, in which he defended suicide bombing, and went through a list of tortures, which should be performed on all non-Muslims ("non-believers"), obviously culminating in the death of these non-Muslims. The presentation was reportedly to his fellow military medical staff, who did not report their fellow practitioner for this incidence.

Between Forty-Two (42) and Forty-Three (43) people had been injured at Fort Hood, while Twelve (12) soldiers, including pregnant woman: Francheska Velez, and one civilian, and one unborn child were killed, possibly as a result of the consistent ignoring of symptoms, the alleged killer, an army psychiatrist... consistently displayed over the years. Hassam has been charged with Thirteen (13) charges of premeditated murder in a military tribunal, but seemingly has not been charged additionally under the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, or for the injuries caused the other victims. Additional charges still may be made, although what they would be is not clear. It is not clear whether the death penalty will be asked for.

The US Military's Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where Hassam worked, knew all about Major Nidal M. Hasam's (39 years of age) complete preoccupation with Islam, and with war. Their solution was to order him to attend a university lecture series, on terrorism, the Middle East and Islam, according to the Washington Post (Washington Post (Secular; Independent ; American; Has been accused of Bias in the Past) 12 / 11 | November / 2009) who quote an unnamed relative of a staff member there. He further is said to have addressed physicians there, still back in 2007, claiming that Muslim soldiers must be released as conscientious objectors, rather than be made to fight other Muslims. It is noted in media, that he did not see the American wars as against Al Qaeda, or the Taliban, but against Muslims, an interesting view to be ignored.

The Washington Post, adds, that an unnamed military official, denies that Hassam ever formally asked to leave the military, despite Hassam's aunt alleging that he asked to do so. Hassam, apparently, had become unproductive, and obsessed with the position of what he allegedly perceived as Muslims, who found their beliefs contrary to their duties as American soldiers. The US military, and intelligence, ignored his opinions. In fact, he was reportedly promoted from Captain, to Major.

Republican Representative Michael McCaul, of the state of Texas, a member of the House Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee, has claimed, as quoted by Fox News (Fox News (Independent; American; Secular; More Right Leaning) 13 / 11 | November / 2009): that Hassam further had made communications with someone or some group in Pakistan, where the government is in an open civil war, with the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The Congressman, further claims that there were wire transfers between Hassam and a group or person in Pakistan. The Representative reportedly claims that he does not presently know how many monetary accounts were involved, or which way money was wired.

Fort Hood, according to SkyNews, is America’s largest military base. While giving assurances over a White House, and military investigation into the massacre, US President Barak Obama, has asked that Congress delay investigating the killing, claiming that it would be too political in its investigation. The attack has all the markings of at least one similar attack which was conducted on the ground in the Middle East, during earlier years of America’s wars. It has yet to be labelled a terrorist attack, or an act of war, or treason.

The Alleged Fort Hood Killer, who is currently recovering in Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, a hospital in Texas, having regained consciousness earlier this week: is allegedly paralysed from the waist down.

Philippines: Kidnapped Irish priest freed, accuses "rogue" elements of MILF separatists of kidnapping him

Article posted by: scripturelink

Survey on Article:

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. News 24 (Secular; Independent; South African) article by AFP (Secular; French; Independent; Liberal) 12 / 11 | November / 2009; Agenzia Fides (Catholic; Operates Under the Vatican; Vatican based) 12 / 11 | November / 2009: article placed below our own article)

[English; Afrikaans; français]

Article by Marc Aupiais

No ransom was paid for the recent release of +- 79 year old Irish Missionary Priest, Father Michael Sinnot, of the Society of Saint Columbans, despite a Two Million ( 2 000 000 ) US Dollar Ransom initially being demanded by militant hostage takers, who took the priest hostage, while he was on an evening walk in his garden on October 11th 2009. The priest firstly greeted reporters at a military base, prior flying off to meet Philippine President Gloria Arroyo.

The priest thanked all who had caused his release, and those who had prayed for him during the ordeal. Possibly, this could be in reference to inter-faith protests, involving Catholics and Muslims, asking for his release, and other activities such as prayer vigils, which the Vatican's missionary news agency: Agenzia Fides, claims were conducted during his captivity.

PRIEST FREED, REBELS CLAIM TO HAVE NEGOTIATED FOR HIM

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (acronym: MILF), which was initially a suspect in the hostage taking, still denies any involvement. Almost immediately after the kidnapping, the group offered to help find and free the priest, using their resources.

It is the MILF, who eventually delivered the missionary to Philippine military authorities at Zamboanga, denying involvement in the kidnapping. The other major suspect for the hostage taking, which involved a heavy civilian vehicle, and a small speed boat, was Abi Sayyaf, founded in 1990, it is one of the smallest, and most violent of the separatist rebel groups. According to the BBC, it is blamed for a recent bomb attack, an attack on a ferry- in which about one hundred human beings, died.

FR MICHAEL SINNOT CLAIMED THAT MILF COMMANDERS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KIDNAPPING, BUT THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER UNDER THE REBEL GROUP'S CENTRAL CONTROL- THE MILF CLAIM THEY USED RELATIVES TO CONVINCE HOSTAGE TAKERS TO RELEASE THE CATHOLIC MISSIONARY PRIEST:

Fr Michael's short press release, however clears Abi Sayyaf, implicating a group of MILF commanders on the ground, who he has suggested: in his perspective, were no longer under the control of the MILF leadership.

MILF leadership have recently entered conflict resolution talks with the government once again, peace talks, which had been suspended after attacks on Christians settling in the South. The attacks, which had claimed a relatively large amount of civilian lives, had also reportedly displaced about half a million (+- 5 00 000) people, sixty percent (60%) of whom have yet to leave shelters.

The MILF, however is keeping mum about who committed the kidnapping of the missionary, saying only that they used moral bargaining, via the kidnappers' relatives, and effectively denying any involvement, and any link whatsoever with kidnappers.

Whether or not co-incidental, the release is just prior a visit planned by United States (USA) Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton. The United States has previously been accused of helping to aid the Philippine government in their civil war with Islamic Separatists, who desire their own Islamic state in the Southern part of the largely Catholic Philippines. The MILF, estimated to consist of about Twelve Thousand (+-12 000) militants: have been in conflict with the government since 1978.

WITH NO RANSOM TO OFFER, THE MILF USED "MORAL BARGAINING"

Neither the Irish government, nor the Philippine government were prepared to pay any ransom, nor was the order the priest belonged to. The Irish Foreign Minister Michael Martin said that it would have put other Irish lives in danger to pay any ransom for the priest. Hostage situations of this sort, are increasingly being sorted out, via persons in the actual communities where hostage takers live, such as tribal leaders, or rebel groups, should these have an interest in having hostages freed. Recently, religious who were kidnapped in Somalia, were released, with the help of local tribal authorities, with moral standing in their own people's eyes.

It had been feared that Fr Michael Sinnot, could die of shock, due to a heart surgery he had had just a few years ago, and because he had been separated from his medication in the kidnapping. The priest says he was not maltreated, but lived in very primitive conditions during the ordeal.

Fr Sinnot, says that he plans to return to the Southern city of Pagadian, from where he was kidnapped, and where he had been living and working as a priest.

Below will be a quotation of Agenzia Fides / Fides Service, on this situation, Agenzia Fides is the Vatican's Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples' official missionary news service (Fides Service speak in their own capacity, and their views, and claims are not necessarily those of our service:):

"ASIA/PHILIPPINES - “Fr. Sinnott is free, thanks be to God!”: Superior General of the Saint Columban Missionaries shares his joy with Fides

Manila (Agenzia Fides) - "We are very relieved and very happy. We thank the Lord for the good news of the release of Fr. Sinnott. I believe that Fr. Michael is fine. He is conducting a medical check-up in Zamboanga City and is a bit weak from the 31 days of captivity in the jungle, but overall he is in good conditions."

This is what Fides was told by Fr. Thomas Murphy, Superior General of the Society of St. Columban for Foreign Missions, the congregation of Fr. Michael Sinnott, the Irish missionary kidnapped on October 11th in Pagadian (on the island of Mindanao) and released in the early morning hours of Nov. 12 in Zamboanga City.

The Superior adds: "I am particularly happy because Fr. Sinnott is a person who is close to my heart: because he was the Rector when I was in the Seminary and has contributed to my human and spiritual formation. But everyone here today is overflowing with happiness. The Lord has heard our prayers."

On the details of issue, Fr. Murphy said: "I can confirm that he was released thanks to the mediation of the army and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which handed him over to military authorities in Zamboanga."

Fr. Murphy tells Fides: "The Missionaries of St. Columban in the world this morning are celebrating a Mass of Thanksgiving. In the Filipino community the joy is palpable. There is a continual thanksgiving for the successful conclusion of this affair. Fr. Sinnott is much loved and respected by the faithful of the parish, the children he cares for, and by the entire local community. "

In recent weeks, the Missionaries of St. Columba have organized prayer vigils and peaceful demonstrations to demand his release, involving Christians and Muslims in the South Philippines:

"We believe that this movement of public opinion and testimony played a significant role in the release Fr. Sinnott. We thank all those who were close with their prayer and concrete gestures of solidarity and all those who contributed to the issue and saving Fr. Sinnott," the Superior General concluded.

Philippines: Kidnapped prêtre irlandais libéré, accuse des "éléments« voyous des séparatistes du MILF d'enlèvement lui

(La justice sociale en Afrique du Sud; cf Nouvelles 24 (séculier; indépendants; Afrique du Sud) Article de l'AFP (séculaire; français; indépendants; Libéral) 12 / 11 | Novembre / 2009; Agenzia Fides (catholique, exerce ses activités sous le Vatican; Vatican base) 12 / 11 | Novembre / 2009 : article placé en deçà de notre propre article)

Article par Marc Aupiais

Aucune rançon n'a été versée pour la libération de + - 79 ans, prêtre missionnaire irlandais, le père Michael Sinnot, de la Compagnie de Saint Columbans, en dépit de deux millions (2 000 000) US Dollar Ransom étant initialement demandés par les preneurs d'otages militant, qui a pris l'otage prêtre, alors qu'il était sur une promenade le soir dans son jardin le 11 Octobre 2009. Le prêtre tout d'abord accueilli des journalistes dans une base militaire, volant avant à la rencontre de la Présidente philippine Gloria Arroyo.

Le prêtre a remercié tous ceux qui avaient causé sa libération, et ceux qui avaient prié pour lui pendant l'épreuve. Eventuellement, cela pourrait être en référence à des manifestations inter-foi, impliquant les catholiques et les musulmans, en demandant sa libération, et d'autres activités telles que des veillées de prière, qui missionnaire de l'agence de nouvelles du Vatican: Agence Fides, les revendications ont été menées au cours de sa captivité.

PRIEST FREED, rebelles déclarent avoir négocié POUR LUI

Le Moro Islamic Liberation Front (acronyme: MILF), qui était initialement un suspect dans la prise d'otages, persiste à nier toute implication. Presque immédiatement après l'enlèvement, le groupe a offert d'aider à retrouver et libérer le prêtre, en utilisant leurs ressources.

C'est le MILF, qui a finalement rendu l'engagement missionnaire de Philippine autorités militaires de Zamboanga, niant à l'enlèvement. Le suspect a d'autres grands de la prise d'otages, qui impliquait un véhicule civil lourd et un petit bateau à moteur, était Abou Sayyaf, fondé en 1990, il est l'un des plus petits, et le plus violent des groupes rebelles séparatistes. Selon la BBC, il est blâmé pour un attentat à la bombe ces dernières, une attaque sur un ferry-dans laquelle une centaine d'êtres humains, décédé.

Père Michael Sinnot RECLAME QUE MILF commandants ont été responsables de l'enlèvement, mais qui n'étaient ils n'ont plus sous un contrôle central du groupe rebelle-THE MILF DEMANDE QU'ILS ONT UTILISES parents pour les preneurs d'otages convaincre de LIBERATION Le missionnaire catholique PRIEST:

Court communiqué de presse Fr Michael's, efface toutefois Abi Sayyaf, impliquant un groupe de commandants MILF sur le terrain, à qui il a proposé: dans son point de vue, ne sont plus sous le contrôle de la direction du MILF.

MILF leadership ont récemment conclu des négociations de règlement des conflits avec le gouvernement une fois de plus, des pourparlers de paix, qui avaient été suspendues après les attaques contre les chrétiens s'installer dans le Sud. Les attaques, qui avait réclamé un montant relativement important de victimes civiles, aurait également le déplacement d'environ un demi-million (+ - 5 00 000) personnes, soixante pour cent (60%) d'entre eux n'ont pas encore à quitter les refuges.

Le MILF, maintient toutefois le silence au sujet qui a commis l'enlèvement du missionnaire, disant seulement qu'ils ont utilisé la négociation morale, par l'intermédiaire de proches des ravisseurs, et niant toute implication efficace, et de tout lien avec les ravisseurs.

Qu'il s'agisse ou non de co-accessoires, la version est juste avant une visite prévue par les États-Unis (USA) Le secrétaire d'Etat, Hilary Clinton. Les États-Unis a déjà été accusé d'avoir aidé à l'aide du gouvernement philippin dans leur guerre civile avec les séparatistes islamiques, qui veulent leur propre Etat islamique dans la partie sud des Philippines catholiques en grande partie. Le MILF, estimée être d'environ mille douze (+ -12 000) militants: avoir été en conflit avec le gouvernement depuis 1978.

Avec le NO pour RANSOM OFFRE, LE MILF UTILISE "moral de négociation"

Ni le gouvernement irlandais, ni le gouvernement des Philippines étaient prêts à payer une rançon, ni l'ordre du prêtre appartenait. Le ministre irlandais des Affaires étrangères Michael Martin a dit qu'il aurait mis d'autres vies en danger irlandaise de payer une rançon pour le prêtre. Une prise d'otages de ce genre, sont de plus en plus résolu, par l'intermédiaire de personnes dans les communautés réelles où les preneurs d'otages vivants, comme les chefs de tribus ou des groupes rebelles, devraient-ils avoir un intérêt à avoir libéré les otages. Récemment, des religieux qui ont été enlevés en Somalie, ont été libérés, avec l'aide des autorités tribales locales, avec position morale dans les yeux de leur propre peuple.

On craignait que le P. Michael Sinnot, pourrait mourir d'un choc, en raison d'une opération du cœur qu'il avait eu il ya quelques années à peine, et parce qu'il avait été séparé de ses médicaments à l'enlèvement. Le prêtre dit qu'il n'était pas maltraité, mais vivaient dans des conditions très primitives au cours de l'épreuve.

Fr Sinnot, dit qu'il envisage de retourner à la ville du sud de Pagadian, d'où il a été enlevé, et où il avait vécu et travaillé comme prêtre.

Ces dernières semaines, les Missionnaires de Saint Columba ont organisé des veillées de prière et des manifestations pacifiques pour exiger sa libération, impliquant des chrétiens et des musulmans dans les Philippines du Sud:

«Nous croyons que ce mouvement de l'opinion publique et le témoignage a joué un rôle significatif dans le communiqué de fr. Sinnott. Nous remercions tous ceux qui étaient proches par leur prière et des gestes concrets de solidarité et de tous ceux qui ont contribué à la question et les économies d'Fr.

US Bishops' Conference Media Team calls up Obama, over what they see as his stance on health insurance and abortion

Article posted by: scripturelink

Survey on Article:

(Social Justice South Africa)

[English; Afrikaans; français]

Article by Marc Aupiais

As the Stupak Amended US healthcare package goes to America's highest house of parliament, the US Bishops' Conference is fighting to keep the gains they have made, via an amended package, which allegedly does not increase or decrease abortion funding, while allegedly still allowing state funding of abortion in the case of incest, rape, or "danger" to a child's mother, and allowing for some cases of possible euthanasia. The Stupak amendment: pushed by about 40 "pro-life" Democrats: with the USCCB's support, they claim, keeps the status quo. The article then challenges pro-abortion, Democratic Party, US President Obama, over his stance on the package:

Updated addition:

The American Life League, Creative Minority Report, and others, claim that while de jure, the principle may not have changed, de facto, Stupak will still allow for an increase in abortion funding.

The following will be a direct quotation of part of an article by the media blog of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB):

"In the midst of this hysteria, National Public Radio (NPR) has done a fair job of breaking down the language of the Stupak Amendment. The quote from Rep. Stupak in the story underscores an essential point about the Stupak Amendment, that it's merely an application of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortion and has been attached to appropriations bills since 1976. One question the NPR summary doesn't answer is whether or not the Hyde Amendment also forbids funding entire benefits packages that include abortion. The answer is yes.

In this case, the provisions of the Stupak Amendment are very much in continuity with federal law as it stands now and has stood for decades. It isn't some case of overreaching on the part of pro-lifers, as its opponents are now depicting it.

One voice that has joined the fray of speaking against the Stupak Amendment in the House bill is President Obama himself. The President, as is his style, took a cooler approach, as quoted here from the Washington Post:

"I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill," Obama said. "And we're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions. And I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test -- that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we're not restricting women's insurance choices, because one of the pledges I made in that same speech was to say that if you're happy and satisfied with the insurance that you have, that it's not going to change." He added: "There are strong feelings on both sides, and what that tells me is that there needs to be some more work before we get to the point where we're not changing the status quo."
ABC News also quotes the President as saying he's confident the final legislation will ensure that "neither side feels that it's being betrayed."

It's striking that this language is President Obama's argument against the Stupak Amendment. He reiterates here what you could call his pledge from his September 9 address to Congress on health care, that federal funds would not go to abortions, a pledge that the U.S. bishops held Congress to over the course of the health care bill's passage.

A major portion of the struggle over the legislation was that the Capps Amendment, the earlier abortion amendment in the House bill, was essentially what President Obama describes above, a "way of sneaking in funding for abortions." The Stupak Amendment rectifies this.

The President also cites his pledge that "if you're happy and satisfied with the insurance that you have, that it's not going to change." As the NPR breakdown explains, the Stupak Amendment "does not apply to private insurance bought with private money." So anyone who currently has a private plan with abortion coverage is going to be able to keep her plan with abortion coverage under the House bill and Stupak.

It seems President Obama simply doesn't appreciate how well the Stupak Amendment meets the goals he's put in place for this legislation."

Les évêques des Etats-Unis 'Conference Media Team appelle Obama, sur ce qu'ils considèrent comme sa position sur les assurances, presse de la santé et à l'avortement

(La justice sociale en Afrique du Sud, ["Social Justice South Africa"] )

Article par Marc Aupiais

Comme le Stupak Modifié US paquet de soins de santé va vers le plus haut logent l'Amérique du parlement, la Conférence épiscopale des États-Unis «se bat pour préserver les progrès qu'ils ont faits, via un paquet modifié, qui ne seraient pas augmenter ou de diminuer le financement avortement, tout en permettant toujours à l'État prétendument financement de l'avortement dans les cas d'inceste, de viol ou de «danger» à la mère d'un enfant, et permettant dans certains cas d'euthanasie possible. L'amendement Stupak: poussée d'environ 40 "pro-vie» des démocrates: avec le soutien de l'USCCB, selon eux, maintient le statu quo. L'article défis alors pro-avortement, démocrate, le président américain Obama, sur sa position sur l'emballage:

Mis à jour le plus:

The American Life League, Creative Minority Report, et d'autres, affirment que si de jure, le principe de mai ne pas avoir changé, de facto, Stupak permettra toujours d'une augmentation du financement de l'avortement.

Les éléments suivants seront une citation directe d'une partie d'un article de blog par les médias de la Conférence des évêques catholiques des États-Unis (USCCB):

«Au milieu de cette hystérie, la National Public Radio (NPR) a fait un travail juste de briser la langue de l'amendement Stupak. La citation d'Rep Stupak dans le récit met en relief un aspect essentiel de l'amendement Stupak, que c'est simplement une application de l'amendement Hyde, qui interdit tout financement fédéral de l'avortement et a été attachée aux projets de loi de crédits depuis 1976. Une question le résumé NPR ne répond pas, c'est si oui ou non l'amendement Hyde interdit finance également l'ensemble des avantages sociaux qui incluent l'avortement. La réponse est oui.

Dans ce cas, les dispositions de l'amendement Stupak sont très en continuité avec la loi fédérale, tel qu'il est aujourd'hui et a été pendant des décennies. Il n'est pas certain cas de overreaching de la part des pro-vie, que ses adversaires sont maintenant peindre.

Une voix qui a rejoint la mêlée de la parole contre l'amendement du projet de loi Stupak House est le président Obama lui-même. Le président, comme c'est son style, a adopté une approche plus frais, tel que cité ici du Washington Post:

«J'ai posé un principe très simple, qui est ce projet de loi de soins de santé, et non un projet de loi d'avortement," Obama said. «Et nous ne cherchons pas à changer ce qui est le principe qui a été mis en place pour un temps très long, ce qui est des dollars fédéraux ne sont pas utilisés pour subventionner les avortements. Et je veux m'assurer que la disposition qui émerge satisfait à ce critère - que nous ne sommes pas en quelque sorte se faufiler dans le financement des avortements, mais, d'autre part, que nous sommes ne pas limiter les choix de l'assurance des femmes, car l'un des promesses que j'ai faite dans ce même discours a été de dire que si tu es heureux et satisfait de l'assurance que vous avez, que ça ne va pas changer ». Il a ajouté: «Il ya de forts sentiments des deux côtés, et ce qui me fait dire qu'il doit y avoir un travail plus avant d'en arriver au point où nous ne changeons pas le statu quo."
ABC Nouvelles cite également le Président a déclaré qu'il est convaincu de la législation finale garantiront que «aucune des parties ne se sent que c'est d'être trahi."

Il est frappant de constater que cette langue est l'argument du président Obama contre l'amendement Stupak. Il réitère ici ce qu'on pourrait appeler sa promesse de sa Septembre 9 Adresse au Congrès sur les soins de santé, que les fonds fédéraux ne seraient pas aller à l'avortement, une promesse que les Etats-Unis évêques réuni le Congrès pour au cours du passage de la facture des soins de santé.

Une partie importante de la lutte pour la législation précise que l'amendement Capps, l'amendement précédent l'avortement dans le texte à la Chambre, est essentiellement ce que le président Obama décrit ci-dessus, une "manière de se faufiler dans le financement des avortements. L'amendement Stupak rectifie cela.

Le Président cite également sa promesse que «si tu es heureux et satisfait de l'assurance que vous avez, que ça ne va pas changer». Comme l'explique ventilation NPR, l'Amendement Stupak »ne s'applique pas à l'assurance privée achetés avec des fonds privés." Ainsi, quiconque dispose actuellement d'un régime privé, avec une couverture avortement va être capable de garder son plan avec une couverture d'avortement dans le cadre du projet de loi House et Stupak.

Il semble que le président Obama n'a tout simplement pas apprécié la façon dont l'amendement Stupak répond aux objectifs qu'il a mis en place pour cette législation. "

University of San Francisco Hosts Head of Pro-Abortion Amnesty International

Note by Marc Aupiais

The Cardinal Newman Society, a Catholic Watchdog society, has lambasted the University of San Fransisco, for hosting a pro-abortion speaker. The alleged move by the University, is in direct contravention of the rulings of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Amnesty International, like Unicef, and other well-known "humanitarian" or "Human rights" organizations, have in recent decades become increasingly political, according to multiple sources of the international Catholic press, both of these mentioned allegedly use their power and funding to enforce abortion on peoples who believe it wrong.

San Fransisco, joins Notre Dame, and a number of other US institutions, in its alleged direct disobedience against the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).

Here is a short quote from the student activist grouping, accompanied by a link:

University of San Francisco Hosts Head of Pro-Abortion Amnesty International
"The Catholic Church has made it abundantly clear that the decision of Amnesty International to support abortion is a direct betrayal of its own mission in service of human rights," said Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society. "How sad it is that USF is degrading its Catholic identity by giving a platform to the head of this once-admirable, but now morally compromised organization." Read More...

Sometimes their dispatches may have a certain political, or practical perspective, they may even mention neutrally, or positively: a grouping, or person we openly appose: we do not however mean to endorse any group, or person that they are working together with, nor does this mean that such a group is acceptable to the church: only that for practicality: they may be working together with such, nor does it imply that such a group is not in some way affiliated, we simply advise against using this to see any affiliation, as we think this pointless. We do not endorse whom they endorse, nor their own views, or opinions or needs, nor do we guarantee their accuracy as a source: any complaints as to accuracy of their claims, can be given to us, however: to attempt to fix such; I advise approaching the source: as all we can do is remove a dispatch, and maybe tell them, or right an article, based on their information, or else write a warning from us, or an article on the error, or a retraction for our publishing, if we have a desire to clarify our part in any such thing, or say something may be wrong.

What they say is their personal perspective; and they, not us must be held fully accountable for their own words, we can change some things, though not direct quotes: but it is them you must approach for changes or retractions from them. We do not guarantee the accuracy of their news and views, nor endorse the content of their dispatches, by posting them, their views do not represent those of Our Service, nor of person, bodies, organizations, nor of groups in any way associated with Our Service, and this disclaimer applies also to those who post this disclaimer, with a dispatch, which we have accessed, in any manner, from the bishops: so far as it is posted with the permission of those responsible for such: or by the conditions given, by Our Service: these are not our words, which we post, when posting directly, what the bishops say, but theirs, and there is no endorsement herein, only reporting, rather: their views are purely their own views, even as due to similarities, such as fidelity to certain principles, and to possible use of some shared organizations: their views expressed, may even identically reflect our own so far as our beliefs may be similar due to these, as with some perspectives. This is purely due to “circumstance”, and not intended as an endorsement of them, nor does it imply that we endorse in any manner whatsoever, any statement they make, have made, or in the future: shall make. Due to practicality, or for whatever purpose, also, they may at times work with organizations: which our news service/s, or affiliations, or those posting such: openly appose. Posting information from the SACBC is further not to be considered endorsement of the SACBC or any representative or affiliate of theirs, or member therein. They speak entirely in their own capacity, and not in ours!
