Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General launched a new global strategy to combat whatever the global body considers hate speech, a growing scourge he said “poisoned” debate on crucial issues. In a speech at the opening of the council’s 40th session, he said ““Hate is moving into the mainstream — in liberal democracies and authoritarian systems alike” .

Governments across the world have watched with concern as racist and other hate speech have coarsened the political climate. France and Germany have raised particular alarm in recent weeks over resurgent anti-Semitism.

Pope Francis compares child sex abuse to human sacrifice

By admin February 25, 2019 923 0

“Our work has made us realise once again that the gravity of the scourge of the sexual abuse of minors is, and historically has been, a widespread phenomenon in all cultures and societies,” said Pope Francis on Sunday. “I am reminded of the cruel religious practice, once widespread in certain cultures, of sacrificing human beings – frequently children – in pagan rites,” he added.

Pope was speaking at the close of the summit of the church’s top bishops and leaders. The summit aimed at how to deal with the priests, who are sexually abusing children and adults for years. The sex abuse survivors and members of ECA (Ending Clergy Abuse), held banners in front of St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, Feb. 24, 2019.

Bishops would now review and strengthen their guidelines to prevent abuse and punish perpetrators, Pope said. He also said that the child sexual abuse was a universal problem – “a widespread phenomenon in all cultures and societies”.

Mix chicken broth, beef broth, red wine and Worcestershire sauce into pot. Bundle the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with twine and place in pot.
