    November 8, 2019 The Honorable Alex Azar Secretary Department of Health and Human Services Washington, DC Dear Secretary Azar: We write to you as parents, grandparents and educators to support the President's call to "clear the markets" of all flavored e-cigarettes. Safeguarding the health of our nation's children is paramount to us. Children must be protected from becoming addicted to nicotine and the dangers posed by tobacco product. We ask for your leadership in ensuring that all flavored e-cigarettes, including mint and menthol, are removed from the marketplace. The dramatic increase in the number of youth vaping is staggering and we see it in our communities every day. Every high school in the nation is dealing with this epidemic. From 2017 to 2019, there was a 135 percent increase, and now one out of every four high school youth (27.5%) in America use these products. More than 6 out of 10 of these teens use fruit, menthol or mint- flavored e-cigarettes. The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded there is "substantial evidence" that if a youth or young adult uses an e-cigarette, they are at increased risk of using traditional cigarettes. Flavors in tobacco products attract kids. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the candy and fruit flavors found in e-cigarettes are one of the primary reason’s kids use them. A 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 81 percent of youth who have ever used tobacco products initiated with a flavored product.

  • The Ethical Dimension of Politics
    […] The eleventh Krakow conference, held in September 2011 The Ethical Dimension of Politics in Tomaszowice, near Krakow, concerned a topic that is difficult and has been annually postponed – that of the ethical dimension of politics. Its aim was to draw a conclusion based on thoughts from the previous conference, during which the contribution The Role of the Catholic Church of Christians in the process of European integration was discussed. This time it was a matter of defining what role Christian politicians in the European Integration Process have to fulfil in this process, especially those who as part of its structure and decision-making bodies bear responsibility for its shape, which includes its ethical shape.

  • The New York Times Published an Article Tracing the Life of One of the Slaves, Cornelius Hawkins, and His Modern-Day Descendants
    http://nyti.ms/2c3j7Y5 U.S. By RACHEL L. SWARNS SEPT. 1, 2016 WASHINGTON — Nearly two centuries after Georgetown University profited from the sale of 272 slaves, it will embark on a series of steps to atone for the past, including awarding preferential status in the admissions process to descendants of the enslaved, university officials said Thursday. Georgetown’s president, John J. DeGioia, who announced the measures in a speech on Thursday afternoon, said he would offer a formal apology, create an institute for the study of slavery and erect a public memorial to the slaves whose labor benefited the institution, including those who were sold in 1838 to help keep the university afloat. In addition, two campus buildings will be renamed — one for an enslaved African- American man and the other for an African-American educator who belonged to a Catholic religious order. So far, Dr. DeGioia’s plan does not include a provision for offering scholarships to descendants, a possibility that was raised by a university committee whose recommendations were released on Thursday morning. The committee, however, stopped short of calling on the university to provide such financial assistance, as well as admissions preference. Dr. DeGioia’s decision to offer an advantage in admissions to descendants, similar to that offered to the children and grandchildren of alumni, is unprecedented, historians say. The preference will be offered to the descendants of all the slaves whose labor benefited Georgetown, not just the men, women and children sold in 1838. 1 of 4 More than a dozen universities — including Brown, Harvard and the University of Virginia — have publicly recognized their ties to slavery and the slave trade.

  • IHEP TCONF99 Bayuk
    Scientific Freedom and the Cases of Galileo and Florensky Dimitri Bayuk Institute of History of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia Introduction. Scientific freedom and the Church Everybody recognizes now that freedom of scientific research is one of the basic human rights. But, historically, one can find many cases when it was violated in one way or another, usually for political reasons or, more generally, in the name of preserving the common good, which could be potentially damaged either by the research itself or by its consequences. Nowadays, strange as it may sound, the ideal of scientific freedom in its most consistent form is being expressed by the Roman Catholic Church, whose leader, Pope John Paul II, has recently declared: “Pure science is a good, deserving of respect because it is cognition and therefore the perfection of a human being in its intelligence. It should be honored for itself, quite apart from any technical applications, as an integral part of the human culture. Fundamental science is a common good which everybody should be able to cultivate, free from any form of international slavery or intellectual colonialism. Æ...Œ Fundamental research should be liberated from political and economic powers, which should cooperate in every way in its development, without hampering its creativity or subordinating it to their own purposes. Indeed, scientific truth is, as is any other truth, accountable only to itself and to the supreme truth which is God, creator of man and all things”. (1) It would be difficult to express the ideal of freedom of scientific research more precisely and completely.

  • Bibliografía I. Boletín De Historia De La Teología En El Período 1500-1800
    Archivo Teológico Granadino 67 (2004) 231-421 BIBLIOGRAFÍA I. BOLETÍN DE HISTORIA DE LA TEOLOGÍA EN EL PERÍODO 1500-1800 Autores Acosta, José de SASTRE, E., Gli “altri” visti dal missionario gesuita Padre José de Acosta (1600): Euntes Docete 56 (2003) 189-208. Este estudio pretende mostrar un ejemplo de aproximación a “los otros”, a los pueblos de las diversas Indias, a finales del siglo XVI. Se basa en el análisis de las dos célebres obras de Acosta, Historia natural y moral de las Indias y De procuranda indorum salute. Expone primero la visión de “los otros” en la perspectiva misionera de Acosta, los tres géneros de “otros” en las Indias, orientales y occidentales: los primeros, más civilizados, como eran los chinos, japoneses y otros de India oriental, los segundos, los que sin haber alcanzado la escritura, ni los conocimientos civiles, tienen su organización social, como eran los mejicanos, peruanos, y la tercera clase, bárbaros, que se diferencian poco de los animales, como eran muchos del Brasil, Florida, y también en Molucas e islas Salomón. Indica luego la diversa manera de llevarles a ellos el evangelio Por último, el autor indica brevemente algunos apuntes de Acosta sobre el modo de evangelizar a la segunda y tercera clase de “otros”, y la imagen del obispo y del misionero indianos.

La Congregación para la doctrina de la fe ha declarado que «no se puede afirmar que existan verdaderos errores doctrinales y herejías en la Mística Ciudad de Dios», pero añade que «la presentación que se hace en esa obra de la figura de la Madre de Dios contrasta con la que nos ofrece la Sagrada Escritura y no es compatible con la mariología desarrollada por el Concilio Vaticano II».

  • Pope Benedict XVI's Fresh Approach to Interreligious Dialogue
    Beyond tolerance: Pope Benedict XVI's fresh approach to interreligious dialogue Author: Christopher Gross This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Chestnut Hill, Mass.: Theology Dept., Boston College, 2007 Interreligious Dialogue Engaging Particularities Conference Paper Boston College Year 2007 Beyond Tolerance: Pope Benedict XVI’s Fresh Approach to Interreligious Dialogue Christopher Gross, Catholic University of America 2 In the last 2000 years, only two popes have visited mosques: John Paul II and Benedict XVI. For John Paul, while it was an extraordinary gesture, it was emblematic of his papacy. Only two years earlier, he had kissed the Quran, while visiting with a delegation of Iraqi Muslims, and in 1986, he invited religious leaders from around the world to Assisi in order to come together to pray for peace. Conversely, for Benedict, the move was uncharacteristic. Only a few months before his visit to Istanbul’s Blue Mosque, Benedict had enraged the Muslim community with his comments at Regensburg, and in 1986, Benedict, then Cardinal Ratzinger, was openly critical of the gathering at Assisi. In one of the few public disagreements between these two friends, Benedict firmly stated that Assisi could not be the model for interreligious dialogue and argued that it gave the false impression that all religions are equally valid.1 Given Benedict’s disapproval Assisi and then his recent visit to the Blue Mosque, how are we to interpret these seemingly contradictory actions? What is the approach to interreligious dialogue that will be taken by this new pontificate? With his recent interfaith gesture in Turkey, it would seem that Benedict is shifting his position on interfaith relations and dialogue in order to carry on the legacy left by his predecessor.
