Excommunication of priest who defends gay marriage

Father Beto

Excommunication  

of priest 

who defends  

gay marriage 

is maintained.

Father Roberto Francisco Daniel, Father Beto, Bauru (São Paulo), was officially declared excommunicated by the Catholic Church. The statement from the Diocese of Bauru, distributed yesterday, says that after more than a year analyzing the case, the Vatican decided to confirm the excommunication, which began in April last year in São Paulo, and was brought to the Vatican in July of the same year.

The priest is accused of committing heresy and contradict the tenets of religious faith when he released his opinions on the internet about the treatment by the Catholic Church to sexual issues and marriage. In videos and interviews, Father Beto criticizes the church for keeping a retrograde position on the relationship of bisexual partners and same-sex marriage and suggested a second marriage after the first.

Can You See The Differences?

 Yes, you're right: wild animals are natural predators and attack only when they are hungry. Unlike some hoodlums disguised as soccer fans attacking for no reason.

The Issue of Abortion...

A Newborn

Abortion is allowed in Brazil ...  

Once a person has money to pay for it. If the woman is poor, however, must  prove that she was raped or being near to death to have access to it. As a result, millions of teenagers and mothers who became pregnant unintentionally resort to clandestine abortions annually.

The technique of such abortions is generally based on the principle of infection: the "manager" introduces a knitting needle or a probe through the hole in the cervix and pierces the pouch of fluid in which the embryo is immersed. Quickly, the vaginal bacteria invade the embryo unprotected. The infection causes the uterus to contract and remove its contents.

Nov 19th, "International Men's Day"!!

International Men's Day: actually a thing

There is an International Men's Day, actually, so shut up 

Very briefly. A few days ago was International Women's Day. You can have whatever opinion you like about that.

But if you think it's reverse sexism, because there's no International Men's Day, and if there was an International Men's Day then all the femi-Nazis would be all screaming about discrimination and burning their bras and so on, then you're wrong. International Men's Day is November 19:

Objectives of International Men's Day include a focus on men's and boy's health, improving gender relations, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models. It is an occasion for men to celebrate their achievements and contributions, in particular their contributions to community, family, marriage, and child care while highlighting the discrimination against them.

I've just spent a happy 10 minutes on Twitter, searching for banterific top banter from utterly banterous banter-meisters asking "So when's International Men's Day then? LOL LMFAO", and telling them. It's very therapeutic.

Obviously, we all realise that the white man is the most oppressed creature in the world, cruelly deprived of as many as 10 per cent of boardroom positions and 25 per cent of seats in the House of Commons. And we must all fight without pause against the injustice of it. But don't worry, chaps: at least the battle for our own day to mark the struggle has been won.

Tags: banter, international men's day, international women's day, sexism, what about the femi-nazis then

"PRISONS are Medieval in Brazil..."

Firefighters try to extinguish the flames on a bus that was torched by criminals late on Monday (12), in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. 

The act would have been a reprisal against the alleged killing of youth by police in the region. No one was injured.

Another issue:

Prisons are medieval in Brazil and would be better to die than be trapped for years, says Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo,

In Manaus, Amazonas, children and youth under protection program.

Witnesses homicides, victims of attacks committed in the name of the drug, children and teens end up having enough information to make forged empires crumble over the addiction.

Canabis For Medical Use

"When I take the cannabis it helps me all day. I feel much better. I can finally walk without crying from the pain in my legs”

David Sabach, 12-year-old cancer patient

David Sabach, 12, suffers from cancer but has just been out playing with friends in his family's apartment in central Israel.

He shows pictures of how he looked two years ago. He had lost his hair from chemotherapy treatment and was half his current weight.

A doctor recently prescribed David the CBD-enriched cannabis. It is delivered in the form of chocolate, cookies or cakes.

"I used to take morphine for pain and it would help for just a couple of minutes," he says.

"When I take the cannabis it helps me all day. I feel much better. I can finally walk without crying from the pain in my legs."

Medical marijuana has been used in Israel since the 1990s.

At Tikun Olam, the cannabis is rolled into cigarettes under laboratory conditions for medical use.
