Pope Francis emphasizes that traditional marriage is an example of God's love

At his general audience in the Varican on April 2, Pope Francis stressed the importance of traditional marriage. He said: "When a man and a woman celebrate the sacrament of marriage, God is reflected in them (...) As 'one flesh', they become living icons od God's love in our world, building up the Church in unity and fidelity". This statements come after the 'controversial' comments the Pontiff made about  gays back in 2013. What the pope really meaned with his commentaries on gays was just to show compassion to them as they are sinners just like everyone else. But, as always, the media distorts the message in order for him to sound like a gay activist. He also recognized the many difficulties and trials married couples encounter nowadays. He said that in order to overcome them we just need a little gesture of love and peace like a caress, then forgive and move on.

Pope Francis and Obama meet in Obama's European tour

A meeting between Pope Francis and Obama was planned for March 27, and the US ambassador in the Vatican says that there will be more collaboration than conflict. Obviously the ideas of Pope Francis about gay marriage and abortion are different from the ones in US law. These meeting puts together two of the most influential figures in the world face to face. I hope that this meeting can open up Obama's eyes to these two cases and bring back some morality to US.

Honduras' forest fires have dropped significantly in contrast with last year

From January to March in 2013, 26,928 hectares burned, but this year only a little more of 4,000 were consumed by fire. The cyphers have dropped to only 15% of last year. The factors that contributed to this improvement were the cold season we had from January to February  and a better care of the woods.

The state may decide wether photographers may dismiss gay weddings

7 years ago in 2007, a photography company refused to shoot at a lesbian wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When Vanessa Willock wanted a photographer to shoot at her lesbian wedding, the company refused saying that they only shooted at traditional weddings. When she saw the reply, Willock went to the New Mexico Human Rights Commission to complain against the photographer. This case is a clash between the rights of free speech and equal protection. In my opinion, no one has to be forced to provide his services to someone he does not want. If the photographer does not agree with homosexual weddings, he has the right to simply not provide the services. Anyway, the company is the one who loses the costumer.

Search for Malaysia Airlines plane is delayed again

This last thursday the search for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that went missing on March 8 was delayed again for the second time this week. All the airplanes and ships that were involved in the search returned to the place they came from. A satellite captured images of more than 300 objects floating south of the Indian Ocean. Even though these objects were located, the investigation of them is quite difficult since the southern Indian Ocean is a desolate area. The plane was departed from Kuala Lumpur and was headed to Beijing when it deviated and flew south several hours until it went missing.

Federal judge allows NYPD to spy on Muslims

The New York Police Department has been allowed to spy on Muslims because of a ruling approved by a federal judge. NYPD can spy on Muslim people based on their faith and ethnicity. The Civil Rights group has appealed to disapprove this ruling. It is a lack of respect to the freedom of religion policy of the US to allow the police to spy on people just because of their beliefs. I support the Muslim cause to have a right to privacy.

28 Hondurans found in human traffic in Houston

Authorities have confirmed the identitiy of a group of Hondurans in the 115 people that were held captive in a house in Houston. Supposedly these people were destined for human traffic. Besides the Hondurans were many Latinos in the 204 meters squared house which had only one bathroom. The inhumane conditions that these people were in are deplorable for a country like the United States. This should be a warning for all the immigrants that go chasing the Amercian dream and dare to cross the border; also for the United States to improve in finding these type of places were Latinos are being discriminated.
