Shadows hang over Easter 2010

Today, on the front page of Le Figaro...
"Pâques: 4.000 chrétiens à la Défense"

This year, as in 2007, the Sunday following the first full moon after
the beginning of spring falls on the same day in the Gregorian calendar
(the Protestant and Catholic) and Julian (the Orthodox).
Archbishop of Paris, Mgr André Vingt-Trois, made no reference to the
scandals currently rocking the Church.
According to comments reported by the official Vatican newspaper,
L'Osservatore Romano, Archbishop Vingt-Trois denounced at the Mass of Holy Thursday,
"an offensive aimed at destabilizing the Pope and the Church through him."

- my Feline and very subjective translation:
"Pâques: 4.000 malvoyants & malentendants à la Défense...
de l'Indéfendable*."

- from Feline to English translation:
"Easter: 4,000 visually & hearing Impaired in [at La] Défense...
of the indefensible*."

Last Vatican's Gift is for Women Day...

Vaticano justifica excomunhão da mãe que autorizou aborto da filha
de 9 anos. (Correio Braziliense)

"O cardeal Giovanni Battista Re, presidente da Comissão
Pontifícia para a América Latina, defendeu em uma entrevista
neste sábado a excomunhão da mãe da menina de 9 anos
que fez um aborto depois de ter sido estuprada e engravidada
pelo padrasto.


O arcebispo de Recife, José Cardoso Sobrinho, também
determinou a excomunhão de toda a equipe médica que realizou o aborto na menina".


And Women to say :


Mind your own business (and other sensitive situations)
and let women manage serious women's problems.
Amen.
