  • Gender and the Violence(S) of War and Armed Conflict EMERALD STUDIES in CRIMINOLOGY, FEMINISM and SOCIAL CHANGE
    Gender and the Violence(s) of War and Armed Conflict EMERALD STUDIES IN CRIMINOLOGY, FEMINISM AND SOCIAL CHANGE Series Editors Sandra Walklate, School of Social Sciences, Monash University, Australia. Kate Fitz-Gibbon, School of Social Sciences at Monash University and Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, Australia. Jude McCulloch, Monash University and Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, Australia. JaneMaree Maher, Centre for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, Sociology, Monash University, Australia. Emerald Studies in Criminology, Feminism and Social Change offers a platform for innovative, engaged, and forward-looking feminist-informed work to explore the interconnections between social change and the capacity of criminology to grap- ple with the implications of such change. Social change, whether as a result of the movement of peoples, the impact of new technologies, the potential consequences of climate change, or more commonly identified features of changing societies, such as ageing populations, inter-genera- tional conflict, the changing nature of work, increasing awareness of the problem of gendered violence(s), and/or changing economic and political context, takes its toll across the globe in infinitely more nuanced and inter-connected ways than previously imagined. Each of these connections carry implications for what is understood as crime, the criminal, the victim of crime and the capacity of criminology as a disci- pline to make sense of these evolving interconnections. Feminist analysis, despite its contentious relationship with the discipline of criminology, has much to offer in strengthening the discipline to better understand the complexity of the world in the twenty-first century and to scan the horizon for emerging, possible or likely futures.

Many workers in smaller, contracted out, departments, felt they were forced to go to work. NIPSA had not given their employers the legal minimum notice for strike action so workers were threatened that going Where Now? out would be illegal. It is being reported that another strike date has been set for June. In taking action we are showing that we won‟t sit back and see this capitalist „crisis‟ used as yet another excuse to rob us. It is not enough that we are robbed day in and day out as a result of capitalist exploitation - the bosses and their lackeys in government are tightening the screws while their profits soar and they spend billions on privatisation and war. Only the working class can defeat the „austerity‟ measures that are crushing us all, in both the public and private sector, in and out of work. We have the power together to grind their economy to a standstill - hitting the bosses and politicians in the pockets for a change. The most effective means of defeating this onslaught is through a general strike. Nothing less will succeed - to do it we need to organise all working class people, public and private sector, in the unions and outside them, employed and unemployed, women and men, students, and migrant workers. Striking workers say no to pensions Belfast and Derry.

He added that the attack was part of a ‘strategy of violence that targets Christians,’ and which has neg- ative repercussions on the entire population as well as offering prayers for the victims and their families. Bomb in Egypt The car bomb explosion, outside the Saints Coptic Christian Church in Alexandria in the first minutes of the New Year on Saturday, killed at least 23 peo- ple and injured almost 100 more as worshippers gathered to celebrate.

    Bishop, 73, in Belgium Steps Down Over Abuse - The New Yo... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/world/europe/24vatican.h... EUROPE Bishop, 73, in Belgium Steps Down Over Abuse By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO APRIL 23, 2010 ROME — The longest-serving bishop in Belgium resigned Friday after admitting to sexually abusing “a boy in my close entourage” many years ago, becoming the latest cleric to quit in a spreading abuse scandal. The development added to a corrosive catalog of disclosures that has damaged the credibility of the Roman Catholic Church and shaken the trust of many believers in their spiritual leaders. In a statement issued by the Vatican on Friday, Roger Vangheluwe, 73, the bishop of Bruges since 1985, said that the abuse had occurred “when I was still a simple priest and for a while when I began as a bishop.” “This has marked the victim forever,” he said. The bishop said that he had asked the victim and his family several times to forgive him, but that the wound had not healed, “neither in me nor the victim.” A recent media storm merely deepened the trauma, he said. “I am profoundly sorry,” he said. This week, in a rare public comment directly addressing the issue of abuse, Pope Benedict XVI promised that the church would take action to deal with the crisis. Bishop Vangheluwe is the first Belgian bishop to step down since the abuse scandal began to erupt in recent months in several European countries.

De modo que se ha creado un pánico moral o un miedo a los sacerdotes, como si todos fueran iguales o como si el asunto fuera tan extendido que fuera una amenaza mundial, en especial para los católicos que llevan sus hijos a la catequesis o grupos parroquiales. Se ha querido desprestigiar a la Iglesia católica con estos escándalos como si fuera la única Institución corrompida y, por tanto, sin ninguna autoridad moral para exponer su doctrina y sus enseñanzas al mundo.

  • Can We Save the Catholic Church?
    Hans Kung Can We Save the Catholic Church? Аннотация As the Year of Faith draws to a close, radical Catholic theologian and visionary Hans Küng presents the Church with an urgent and controversial call to arms. Can the Church Still be Saved promises what Catholics have long been yearning for: modern responses to a modern world.Fifty years ago, the world’s bishops gathered for the Second Vatican Council in the hope they could, in the words of Pope John XXIII, ‘open the windows of the Church and let some fresh air in.’ It was a gathering of real optimism; Hans Küng and our current Pope were both there.In Can the Church Still be Saved?, Kung relates how after fifty years and two Popes, the Church has only turned back the clock, becoming ever more conservative. Refusing to open dialogue on celibacy for male priests; the role of women in the priesthood; homosexuality and gay marriage; or the use of contraception even to prevent AIDS in Africa, the Papacy is losing touch. Now, amid widespread disillusion over child abuse, the future of Catholicism is in crisis.Küng calls for a complete renewal of the Church, setting out a radical and inspiring programme of action. As grassroots support grows - both in the UK and internationally - Can the Church Still be Saved makes a compelling case for structural reform and for a proper dialogue on the modern world.
