"“My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing,”
[...]

“I didn’t really want to be that kind of role model for younger girls because I had a lot of younger Christian girls that were looking up to me and then thinking that it was OK for them to walk around and show their bodies in lingerie to guys.”
[...]

“Victoria’s Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise. I actually loved it while I was there, it was so much fun and I had a blast. But the more I was modeling lingerie – and lingerie isn’t clothing – I just started becoming more uncomfortable with it because of my faith,”

[...]

“I’m Christian, and reading the Bible more, I was becoming more convicted about it.”
[...]

“It was pretty crazy because I finally achieved my biggest dream, the dream that I always wanted, but when I finally got it, it wasn’t all that I thought it would be,”
[...]

“For all of you that were looking for me in the Victorias Secret runway show this year, I wasn’t in it. I have decided not to model lingerie Because I personally feel that I am not honoring God or my husband by doing it. My marriage is very important & with divorce rates rising I want to do everything I can to protect my marriage and be respectful to my husband. God graciously gave me this marriage and this life and my desire is to live a Godly faithful life, I don’t however judge others for what they do. Everyone is convicted on different levels.”
[...]

“I am still modeling but only with brands that respect my decision not to wear lingerie. I am also doing TV work now :).”"

Yahoo News "Media Research Center blasts networks for not covering Obama’s ‘attack on religious freedom’" By Dylan Stableford Tue, Feb 7, 2012:

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/media-research-center-blasts-networks-not-covering-obama-150745021.html

""The double standard is clear for all to see," Bozell wrote. "You are ignoring the attack on the freedom of religion by the Obama administration, but coming to the aid of [abortionists and Obama allies] Planned Parenthood because you agree with them."

[...]

• ABC and NBC waited 16 days to cover the anti-Catholic ruling, finally citing the new rule on "This Week" and "Meet the Press" on February 5.
• CBS waited 10 days to mention it on "This Morning" and provided no subsequent coverage.
• CNN briefly mentioned the rule when it was announced on January 20th, then didn't bother to mention it again for 10 days.


Yet, Bozell wrote, "in reaction to a decision that would affect vastly fewer potential patients, the networks pounced on the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to cease a measly $480,000 in a grant to Planned Parenthood, the country's largest abortion provider." Timothy Dolan, president of the Catholic Conference of Bishops, was among several church leaders copied on the letter by Bozell.

Representatives for ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN did not immediately respond to requests from Yahoo News seeking comment."

The Exception is not the rule, nor is it unexpected from the class of people who supported Obama despite his abortion agenda, links to abortionists!

I'm sure the Cardinal Newsman Society knows. Fact is many of the supporters of Obama are "Catholic". I have never heard of De Paul University. I have heard of Notre Dame. Many of these universities also fund and support abortion providers Planned Parenthood. It doesn't actually hurt the bishops' argument.

Brazillian acceptance as a culture - of Pedophilia a huge barrier in getting Catholic leaders to act on abuse- Vatican expert

Brazillian acceptance as a culture - of Pedophilia a huge barrier in getting Catholic leaders to act on abuse- Vatican expert

Tolerance of adults dating children and adolescents in Brazil, means that the church itself, unlike in Europe and North America, faces a culture that sees Pedophilia as a good thing. Brazil's sexual preferences and lack of church control of what is decent or not, and the presence of the smallest womens' swimwear in the world, tend to affirm rather than deny this evidence of a Vatican psychologist!

""There is no idea of what could or should be done," Father Edenio Valle, a psychologist who advises the National Conference for Brazilian Bishops (CNBB) and provides counselling for priests, told a Vatican meeting on the issue.

"Effective measures and procedures on the part of the Church in the short, medium and long term, as far as I know, are not being planned," he said.

"Underlying problems are not seriously debated," he added.

"There are no places of refuge, recuperation and care for the victims. Generally, they are just removed from the scene," he said.

Valle said there was a willingness in the Brazilian Church - partly due to the Vatican's insistence - to find "competent and urgent answers," but that this was made more difficult by greater cultural tolerance for paedophilia.
"This relative moderation in relation to the scandals of Catholic fathers is due to the fact that paedophilia and ephebophilia are behaviours that are culturally more tolerated in Brazil than in Europe and North America," he said."

Russia drills into Antarctic Lake not accessed in over 20 million years

Russia drills into Antarctic Lake not accessed in over 20 million years
Despite rumours of their demise in -80 degrees Fahrenheit, a Russian Scientific team succeed in penetrating over 2 miles (3,768 metres) into the depths of Antarctic Lake Vostok

"The buried lake may be similar to the conditions on Mars and Jupiter’s moon Europa, Ria Novosti said.


The Lake Vostok project has been years in the making, with initial drilling at the massive lake -- 6,060 square miles (15,690 square kilometers) -- starting in 1998. The scientists were quickly able to reach 11,800 feet (3,600 meters), but had to stop due to concerns of possible contamination of the never-before-touched lake water.

The scientists came up with a clever way to make sure the water would not be contaminated: They agreed to drill until a sensor warned them of free water. At that point they took out the kerosene and adjusted the pressure so that none of the liquids would fall into the lake, but rather lake water would rise through the hole due to pressure from below.

The Russians are not alone in such a mission: Scientists from around the world are literally racing to explore the mysteries of Antarctica. There are two other Antarctic digs underway.

A team from the British Antarctic Survey is on a competing mission, set to plumb the depths of Lake Ellsworth, one of a string of more than 370 lakes beneath Antarctica that may soon see light for the first time. And a third Antarctic expedition -- a study of the subglacial Whillans Ice Stream -- mainly features U.S. scientists."

Johannesburg Catholic School sex scandal: Grade 8s allegedly forced to 'rape' school 'chair' and 'bus seat' by Matrics (Seniors)

Johannesburg Catholic School sex scandal: Grade 8s allegedly forced to 'rape' school 'chair' and 'bus seat' by Matrics (Seniors)
The MEC for Education's spokeswoman says if true the alleged gang behaviour violates the law. The School's representative released a statement condemning the behaviour if true, and stating they would put the welfare of the grade 8s allegedly victimized first


With school 'initiation' repeatedly hitting headlines, since the sexual abuse alleged at Parktown, a Catholic school has gotten its own share of the spotlight. The Offense while not the same as Parktown, still violates the law and is sexual abuse if proven to be more than just alleged. Mock rapes also would suggest real rapes to come, making this perhaps more serious than the terrible human rights abuses alleged at other school settings.


The prompt response to media, by the school not the SACBC which likely wouldn't respond, in this case (by the school) is a good sign. The SACBC Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference, under the very unprofessional press leadership of Fr Chris Townsend, usually ignores any media requests on scandalous accusations or punishes journalist, such as the SACNS for reporting on them (we now get SACBC press releases long after papers such as the Mail and Guardian after refusing to censor an interview we did).


"Education spokesperson Charles Phahlane said Education MEC Barbara Creecy phoned the St David's Marist Inanda school on Saturday about the allegation.


"If this is true, it is very serious because it violates the SA Schools Act and the Sexual Offences Act," Phahlane said.


Headmaster Malcolm Williams and chief executive of the school, Mike Greeff, said in a statement that the school board, management and the staff condemned conduct that intimidated, humiliated or frightened anyone."

Michael Bloomberg (New York), head of Bonanza Oil (Dallas), Credo, others pledge money for abortionists, as Komen calls fowl over Planned Parenthood campaign against them

Michael Bloomberg (New York), head of Bonanza Oil (Dallas), Credo, others pledge money for abortionists, as Komen calls fowl over Planned Parenthood campaign against them


Due to a Federal investigation of whether or not Planned Parenthood illegally misused funding for other processes to perform abortions, Komen withdrew funding under existing rules about federal investigations. The move prompted an active campaign by Abortionists and their friends to harm Komen. Similar to one against AT&T in 1991. Now, The Amy and Lee Fikes' Foundation of Bonanza Oil Co. in Dallas, pledged $250,000, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would match the next $250,000 and Credo, a mobile-phone company, promised $200,000 to fund Abortion firm Planned Parenthood.




"Planned Parenthood Federation of American received $400,000 from 6,000 donors as of Feb. 1. More pledges were made yesterday though the group didn't have an updated amount, said Shawn Rhea, an organization spokeswoman. Three large donors had surfaced: The Amy and Lee Fikes' Foundation, run by the head of closely held Bonanza Oil Co. in Dallas, pledged $250,000; New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would match the next $250,000; and Credo, a mobile-phone company, promised $200,000.




The Komen foundation's decision not to continue grants for 16 of 19 local Planned Parenthood affiliates sparked questions about its motives after Planned Parenthood said the action was prompted by pressure from anti-abortion forces. Critics and supporters filled the Internet with comment and petitions.








"This is a difficult issue made more difficult by the gross mischaracterization" of Komen's intent, Elizabeth Thompson, the Dallas-based group's president, said yesterday in a conference call with reporters.


Komen initiated a review of grant criteria and included a rule denying money to any organization under federal, state or local investigation, Chief Executive Officer Nancy Brinker said during the call.


House Inquiry


The foundation cited as a reason for withdrawing funding a probe by Representative Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, into whether New York-based Planned Parenthood is illegally using government money for abortions.


No other group has been told it won't be receiving grants under the new criteria, though some "probably do" provide abortions, Brinker said. "We ask a lot of questions" of grantees, "but that's not one of them."


Komen, which provides $93 million in grants to local communities for breast-cancer education, screening and treatment, is known for the pink ribbons it first distributed to breast-cancer survivors and participants of the Komen New York City Race for the Cure in 1991, according to its website. The foundation, among the largest breast-cancer advocacy groups in the U.S., also funds research on the disease. Brinker founded the group in 1982 after her sister, Susan G. Komen, died of breast cancer.








"The essence of the organization" has been obscured by the Planned Parenthood dispute, Brinker said on the call. "-San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) 'Komen Says Criticism Unfounded as Planned Parenthood Gains Funds' Elizabeth Lopatto and Anna Edney, Bloomberg News on Monday, February 6, 2012
