Benedykt XVI: prymat miłości i modlitwy
Prymat Piotra zamienił na prymat trwania na kolanach przed Ukrzyżowanym – tak decyzję o rezygnacji Benedykta XVI ze Stolicy Piotrowej komentuje przewodniczący Papieskiej Rady ds. Rodziny. Decyzję tę Papież Senior ogłosił dokładnie trzy lata temu. Abp Vincenzo Paglia wskazuje, że była ona wielkim gestem miłosierdzia. Dlatego może posłużyć głębszemu zrozumieniu Jubileuszu Miłosierdzia.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science
More than ever today, the world needs science and science needs women, the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said on Thursday marking the first International Day of Women and Girls in Science. “UNESCO's message is clear – the new [2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development] will not meet its promise without investing in women's and girls' empowerment through and in science,” Irina Bokova said in a message for the occasion. According to the most recent UNESCO Science Report, women account for only 28 per cent of researchers across the world, with the gap deepening at the higher echelons of decision-making. Women also have less access to funding, to networks, to senior positions, which puts them at a further disadvantage in high impact science publishing.
HRW denounces ex-army chief's appointment as Sri Lanka lawmaker ‎
An international rights group said Thursday that the Sri Lankan government's decision to appoint the civil war-winning general to Parliament contradicts its pledges to investigate alleged abuses under his command. Human Rights Watch said the appointment of former army commander Sarath Fonseka signals that the government may protect senior military leaders suspected of abuses. Fonseka took his oath as a lawmaker Tuesday. He commanded Sri Lanka's army from 2005 until the end of war in 2009 and is credited with leading the army to victory over the ethnic minority Tamil rebels.
