Catholic leaders from Sudan and Caritas members held a two-day meeting that ended today at the agency's Vatican headquarters, in order to discuss how to respond to this crisis in the most effective way.

Bishop Edward Kussala of Tombura-Yambio, Sudan, affirmed that the country is facing a lot of challenges.

"There is an ongoing humanitarian crisis," he said. "People don't have access to health care, education, water and protection from high levels of violence."

The agency reported that 16% of the population is south Sudan is malnourished, and nine out of ten people live on less than $1 a day.

It noted that in 2007, the region had the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, with some 203 women dying for every 10,000 births.

The bishop affirmed that the Church and Caritas "are the only sources of education, health and social services."

The agency reported that only half of the 4 million refugees who fled during conflicts in the south have returned home.

In Darfur in the west, some 2.7 million people are displaced from their homes due to ongoing fighting.

India Wants Religious Freedom

Article: Cardinal: Gandhi Wanted More for India

Cardinal Telesphore Toppo, the archbishop of Ranchi, has succinctly summarized the state of affairs regarding the rights of members of the Christian minority to freely practice and propagate their faith in democratic India.

The triumph of forces opposed to the fundamentalism of the predominant majority in this country’s recent general election is proof of this. Most Indians have a true understanding of the innate goodness of Hindu philosophy and religiosity. As the cardinal said, India is a very religious nation and most of its 1.2 billion citizens are deeply devout Hindus, Muslims, Christians (Catholics and Protestants), Sikhs, Parsis, Jews, Buddhists, Jains, animists, etc. etc.

Let Colleges Go Magisterium-Free

Article: Newman Society: Catholic Colleges Are Lost

I could not agree more with the assessment of the Newman Society. When I went to college before entering, I attended a secular college — UCLA — where I was a member of the Newman Club. There was probably more Catholic Action Activity on that campus than is acceptable at the colleges that want to be free of the magisterium of the Church.

Why not totally secularize and have your wish instead of confusing the faithful and using our Catholic heritage while disregarding the teachings of the Church. Apparently being «of the world» is more acceptable than simply being «in the world.»
