2012
But take the fact that December 21, 2012, coincides with the winter solstice, add claims the Maya picked the time period because it also marks an alignment of the sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and you have the makings of an online sensation.

Pope cautions tribunals against granting annulments too easily
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Granting marriage annulments too easily and without real cause plays into a modern form of pessimism that basically says human beings are not able to make lifelong commitments to loving another person, Pope Benedict XVI said.

British Religious and Pro-Life Leaders Warn of Growth of “New Eugenics” in Pre-Natal Testing and Embryo Screening
By Hilary White
LONDON, January 22, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Roman Catholic Bishops of England and Wales have joined with pro-life advocates in warning that a possible pre-natal test for autism in children could be a step towards a “new eugenic” pogrom against the disabled.
Scientists at Cambridge University earlier this month announced that research had shown that high levels of testosterone in amniotic fluid could be a factor in autism and suggested that the discovery could be used to create a test. Unborn babies who tested “positive” could be legally killed under British law that allows unrestricted abortion of children suspected of having “severe” disabilities.
A spokesman for the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales issued a statement January 13 warning, “What our society is contemplating are the first steps of a truly revolutionary and inhuman path.”

Our Lady
I just discovered, in my innocence, that some protestants believe Our Lady was not for ever virgin. Maybe you are now laughing of my ignorance but I truly couldn't expect that any christian could have such doubt.
So, if any non catholic comes here, maybe he should read this

Cooler
Global thermometers stopped rising after 1998, and have plummeted in the last two years by more than 0.5 degrees Celsius. The 2007-2008 temperature drop was not predicted by global climate models. But it was predictable by a decline in sunspot activity since 2000.
When the sun is active, it's not uncommon to see sunspot numbers of 100 or more in a single month. Every 11 years, activity slows, and numbers briefly drop near zero. Normally sunspots return very quickly, as a new cycle begins. But this year, the start of a new cycle, the sun has been eerily quiet.
