Catholic Church's sex abuse goes global

Date: March 19, 2010
By: Dan Gilgoff
Pope Benedict XVI has signed a pastoral letter about Ireland's abusive priests. Ireland has been striving to earn respect after a downfall when revelation of abusive priests. This wasnt the first case, in 1986, Peter Hullermann was convicted of minor abuse, afterwards, he was taken off of his position as priest. Over 12 countries are allegating of this. People in Asia and Africa, where Catholicism is growing, is said that wont have this impact. This crisis could make people leave this religion.
We think its good that the Pope is banning priests who do such things. We also think that its bad that they abuse. We think that its sad that people who inspire others are abusive, and bad. Last of all, we think that those priests must be really evil, mad, and that they don't have shame, because they made an oath to be good, and clearly they aren't. In conclusion, we think its bad to know that the world is being so bad, when God made us to be good.

Inside the cat and dog meat market in China

Date: March 9, 2010
Author: Emily Chang


Cats and dogs trying to get out of the cage, this isn't a pet store, its a meat store. The Chinese government is trying to ban this meal. If any person violates this law, they could face 15 days in prison and a small fine. If any business men are found selling this meat they could get a fine of $73,500.


Our opinion is that it is cruel that people could kill this loyal animals to eat. They shouldn't be eating this animals because they are pets. We think it is good that they ban people in China to eat cats and dogs. We also think that its good that they put attention to this problem. Its great that they banned people to eat and sell this animals, that are meant to be pets.

Investigation under way after waves kill cruise passengers

26-foot high waves crashed into a cruise ship that was stationed at a Barcelona port. This tidal wave killed two people and injured 14. The victims who died were a German and an Italian. The waves smashed five windows into pieces on the deck. Maltese government officials begin investigating.


We think its shocking that a wave so tall hit the cruise ship. We also think that it was terrible that the cruise members died while trying to enjoy vacations. This are consequences that are happening because we didn't take care of the planet. It is very sad thinking about what the family that lost there familiars.

More than 2 million affected by earthquake, Chile's president says

Authors: Rolando Santos, Brian Byrnes and Patty Lane
Date: February 27, 2010


While the sun was setting in Chile on Saturday, there was an earthquake that affected about 2 million people in some way. More than 300 people were killed and 15 were missing. The earthquake was a 8.8-magnitude quake. The earthquake occurred at a depth of nearly 22 miles. There was a lot of damage, including buildings and highways.


Our opinion is that it was shocking about all of the earthquakes that have been. We also think that it is scary that there has been a lot of earthquakes. It's a shame all of the people that have died and all of the structures destroyed. And that it is very curious that there were so many earthquakes in such a short period of time. We feel bad for all of the people that have died.
