Pope on renewed Violence in Northern Ireland:

POPE CONDEMNS NORTHERN IRELAND ATTACKS

VATICAN CITY, 11 MAR 2009 (VIS) - At the end of today's general audience the Holy Father made an appeal for an end to violence in Northern Ireland, where recent attacks have left two soldiers and a policeman dead.

"It was with deep sorrow that I learned of the murders of two young British soldiers and a policeman in Northern Ireland. As I assure the families of the victims and the injured of my spiritual closeness, I condemn in the strongest terms these abominable acts of terrorism which, apart from desecrating human life, seriously endanger the ongoing peace process in Northern Ireland and risk destroying the great hopes generated by this process in the region and throughout the world. I ask the Lord that no one will again give in to the horrendous temptation of violence and that all will increase their efforts to continue building - through the patient effort of dialogue - a peaceful, just and reconciled society".

Ireland, EU, Europe : Two Irish Prelates encourage diocese where child abuse was mishandled: obey the church's's regulations, and recommendations of autonomous group set up; which was already demanded before, as church regulations in the area have also been ignored

Cardinal Sean Brady of the Archdiocese of Armagh, and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of the Archdiocese of Dublin, have both in separate ways: called for child protection regulations, and recommendations to be followed throughout Ireland: Bishop John Magee of the diocese of Cloyne being caught in a scandal: around mismanagement of these cases.

The Archbishop of Dublin, has stated, that it is the choice of Bishop John Magee, of Cloyne, whether or not to resign. On masse, it appears, the people believe him to have lost the moral authority to lead.

The peace in the politically unstable region known to the world as : "Northern Ireland"; is in danger due to a new political "impasse", if Irish Bishop: Cardinal Seán Brady is to be believed. In a lengthy article posted on the online facilities of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, the Cardinal warns of the dangers of a political stalemate, and recalls the hope brought by the Irish Peace process to Catholic persons in the Middle East.

Northern Ireland is in a different political situation than much of Britain- having a degree of independence: which prevents abortions, and allows for local political parties to have a say over events. Recently, a British army parade was the cause of protests by Irish opposition to the deaths of Catholics, in which some sections of the army are accused of playing a role. Both those who seek an Independent Northern Ireland, and their opposition have been accused of less than ethical dealings at times.

The Democratic Unionist Party, which is pro-Britain, and Sinn Fein, which has allot of Catholic support: have been unable to decide how authorities such as police are to be divided. In a country which has seen accusations of the abuse of authority, this is serious. Also in need of discussion is apparently an economic downturn- according to the secular News Group : Sky News.

Northern Ireland- Catholic deaths to be protested as British army returns home

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. BBC World News (Secular) 02/11/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Protesters will protest along the route of a British home-coming army parade. They are from a major Irish Political party, claiming that British actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in Northern Ireland are not what they would call heroic. Two groups have decided to protest elsewhere than the actual route, and the British have canceled a flyby in the city, and disarmed troops partaking in the parade, as tension flair. Sinn Fein ("We Ourselves"), and others plan to protest on the route of the parade. Sinn Fein is planning a non-violent protest, and has asked hardliners to stay away. Both sides have compromised, but fears remain of violence.

Britain- embriology bill passes 3-1; excluding reglations suggested by culture of death to allow abortion until birth, and in Northern Island, but allowing for the creation of human-animal mutants, and medication farm children to be harvested and used to temporarially cure sick siblings

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 24/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

While the new British embryology bill, passed in parliament today allows for research which involves implanting sperm in vitro- into animal eggs, following the recent creation of a human, cow cross-breed mutant, and also for the creation of children via science, much like the designer baby created in Spain recently- purely for the purpose of being health tools for siblings, aspects suggested to allow abortion in Northern Ireland, which could be considered genocide- have been kept from the bill which passed. These were not even allowed to be discussed, along with ideas of allowing abortion until birth, which were also not permitted as part of the bill. This is possibly in the wake of Irish protests against the propositions.
