built 607 days ago
The opening address was given by Malaysian journalist Theresa Ee-Chooi, current president of the International Union of Catholic Journalists. She referred to the economic inequalities between the rich countries and the poor, the negative effects of post-colonialism, and the consequences of globalization, which have transformed the world into a global village. She went on to address the condition of modern men and women, caught in the nets of materialism and consumerism, who made the present an absolute and seek momentary happiness in immediate gratification, here and now, only to feel deceived and disappointed later. She denounced the influence of moral relativism at the end of the century. In face of this situation, Ee-Chooi posed the critical question of this inter-religious assembly: "What role can the leaders of the major religions have to make the world of the future the one we would like to leave to our children and grandchildren?"
The Salem priest, long respected by Catholic parishioners, has been branded a pedophile by his accusers. Since mid-2003, more than 15 men have sued Sprauer, alleging that he sexually abused them while he was chaplain at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in the 1970s.
Mormon leaders were at a loss Sunday to explain three young missionaries’ alleged vandalism of a Catholic shrine in the San Luis Valley. The three unidentified men, ages 19 and 20, face punishment from the church and possibly Costilla County.
