  • HOME, PROHIBITION and EXCISE DEPARTMENT TAMIL NADU POLICE DEMAND NO.22 POLICY NOTE 2012 – 2013 I. Introduction: All Through Hi
    HOME, PROHIBITION AND EXCISE DEPARTMENT TAMIL NADU POLICE DEMAND NO.22 POLICY NOTE 2012 – 2013 I. Introduction: All through history the most important duty of a ruler has been the protection of the people from external threats and internal strife. As per the Constitution of India the responsibility of providing security to the people from external aggression is entrusted to the Central Government and that of providing internal security by maintaining public peace and order is entrusted to the State Government. A strong, efficient and disciplined Police Force is necessary for enabling the State to fulfill this responsibility. In view of my strong commitment to ensuring the welfare and security of the people of Tamil Nadu, I have always endeavoured to create such a Police Force. My efforts in 2011-2012 have also underlined this fundamental point very strongly. The Police Department has therefore, under my Government, been functioning with a clear direction to put down the evil doers, thus enabling the common people to pursue their livelihood without fear, in an atmosphere of public tranquillity. The Tamil Nadu Police in its present form originated in 1859 and has completed 152 years of glorious service. Sensing the need to modernise a force that was archaic in its weaponry and steeped in a mindset that maintained an inaccessible distance from the common man, the State embarked upon a modernization programme under my leadership in 1991 which became a trend setter for the Nation. The concept of All Women Police Stations took shape in 1992. The Coastal Security Group was created to intensify vigil along the coastal borders.

  • La Reforma De La Curia Romana Del Papa Francisco Pope Francis Reform of the Roman Curia
    REVISTA “ESTUDIOS INSTITUCIONALES” Nº 1, VOL. 1 [Páginas 73-100] 2014 La reforma de la Curia Romana del Papa Francisco Pope Francis reform of the Roman Curia Enrique Somavilla Rodríguez1 CTSA [email protected] Recepción: 17/11/14 Revisión: 20/11/14 Aceptación: 22/12/14 Publicación: 05/01/15 Resumen La Iglesia Católica ha llevado a cabo varias reformas de la Curia romana, semper reformanda, de acuerdo con las exigencias de los nuevos tiempos, de la vida eclesial y del propio espíritu conciliar. Pablo VI consiguió la acomodación a los postulados del Concilio Vaticano II mediante la Constitución apostólica Regimini Ecclesiae Universae. Los cambios efectuados por Juan Pablo II, con la Constitución apostólica Pastor Bonus, significaron la adaptación al Código de Derecho canónico de 1983. La reforma de la Curia romana acometida por el papa Francisco deja de lado muchas de tradiciones protocolarias propias de la Sede Apostólica a lo largo de los siglos y nos manifiesta un cambio de época que afecta, de forma singular, a instituciones como el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano, la Santa Sede y propia la Iglesia Católica, tal y como veremos en la nueva Constitución Apostólica, cuya publicación está prevista para febrero de 2015. Palabras clave: Iglesia Católica, Curia Romana, reforma, Francisco, protocolo. Abstract Catholic Church has carried out several reforms of the Roman Curia, semper reformanda, in accordance to the requirements of the new times, the ecclesiastical life and the conciliar spirit. 1 Dr. en Teología Dogmática y en Derecho y en Protocolo.

They are a sign of hope, a sign of life, but also a “diagnostic” sign, a marker indicating the health of families, society and the entire world.

  • Vassula Ryden
    NOVEMBER 25/DECEMBER 8/12, 2012 Vassula Ryden: Problems with Rome, Bishops worldwide and her own Orthodox Church, but welcome in India Vassula Ryden is a controversial Greek-Orthodox "seer" who claims to receive written messages from God. The intention of this alert is to provide reliable information to the Bishops, heads of retreat centers, lay leaders in ministry, and the Catholic laity at large in the Indian Church about the status of acceptance by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches of the Greek Orthodox "seer" named Vassula Ryden and her "messages". This alert will gradually be developed into a more-detailed report* which can be viewed under the same title at the "REPORTS" section of this ministry’s web site. Interested readers are requested to check our web site periodically for updates and new articles. *This report was updated on December 8, 2012. See pages 27 ff. Also see VASSULA RYDEN-TESTIMONIES at http://ephesians-511.net/docs/VASSULA_RYDEN_TESTIMONIES.doc. That file in the "CATHOLIC ISSUES" section of our web site contains four testimonies reproduced from www.infovassula.ch, a critical website on Vassula Ryden and her "True Life in God" messages. The www.infovassula.ch website which was run by a Switzerland-based Catholic apologist Maria Laura Pio had to be shut down because of legal proceedings initiated against her in a civil court in Belgium in 2011 by the "True Life in God" [TLIG]"seer" Vassula Ryden and her team of legal experts. More of that later. The writing and publishing of this alert is immediately necessitated by the receipt of information concerning the imminent visit of Vassula Ryden to various Catholic locations in India* on the back of a trip by her to Paris and Strasbourg in France which however has elicited strong warnings from six French bishops**.

    FEBRUARY 2019 Vol. 04 | Issue 11 | MUMBAI | 32 Pages | Price: `10/- TH EDITORIAL 25 YEAR OF PRIESTLY ORDINATION CELEBRATION AT DIOCESE Pope Francis has continually emphasized the infinite mercy of a God who never tires of reaching out. Throughout his teachings, the Holy Father has put forth the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a gift that permits each one of us to encounter the mercy of God in a personal and profound way. “The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a Sacrament of healing. When I go to confession, it is in order to be healed, to heal my soul, to heal my heart and to be healed of some wrongdoing,” describes Pope Francis. (General Audience Feb. 2014). Pope Francis invites all to focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation as an important dimension of experiencing God’s mercy. The Holy Father says: “So many people, including young people, are returning to the Sacrament of Reconciliation; through this experience they are rediscovering a path back to the Lord, living a moment of intense prayer and finding meaning in their lives. Let us place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the centre once more in such a way that it will enable people to touch the grandeur of God’s mercy with May the their own hands.
