drawing Nostalgia

I started doing cartoons when I was about 11 or 12 years, and then I thought my future was drawing final. Squared because notebooks bought them I was faster and orderly draw cartoons, draw and kept for nights. I became well known for the characters in my comics for those school years, in Talcahuano.



One day in 1992 came Werlinger Nielsen, one of my classmates who shared the artistic taste (what will become of him?) To congratulate me for having published a cartoon in the children's supplement of the newspaper El Sur, La Ronda de los Sapos, coming out on Sundays. I looked at him with a surprised face and said outright that he had not brought anything to the newspaper. Shortly thereafter, the "Pilsen" arrived with a newspaper clipping. It was like a punch in the stomach: in fact it was a strip of three or four vignettes with characters clearly and suspiciously similar to my story and had not drawn me. I felt robbed.

Soon I made the appropriate inquiries and went to Santiago to do what he had to do: register the intellectual property of my characters in my name. I returned to the Bio-Bio, and substantial evidence of ownership in my hands, as it was not so much the paper stating that Law No. 17,336 I covered in cases of plagiarism, as if it was the sheer amount of comics that brought ended , and started to talk personally nothing more and nothing less than the Editor of Diario El Sur, which was then a Mr. called Marcelo Sandoval. Stunned, I was right in my deep feeling of having been stolen, he gave me the name of the plagiarist, that this was another partner in the same classroom was very quiet and had everything, and in return he invited me to publish in La Ronda de los Sapos my own drawings. Published comics, stories and even on occasion the cover drawing of the supplement. While both mono stopped publishing me because, according to Mr. Sandoval told me himself, the official artist would have been spent to bring (¿?).

I continued with my comics until 1995. Upon entering high school turned around in my style and I got into the human figure and illustration in graphic novels from 80 to 200 pages, as usual. By the way, greatly improved the technique of drawing, but my old characters fell almost into oblivion. Until now.

The above drawing I did a few days using only the very basic Windows Paint program. I'm quite older, but retain the enthusiasm, imagination and love for my work as a kid. I hope to have the time to get to scratch and get a good product.

The Mother Goddess, or the feminine aspect of divinity

During February and March 2007 had fortunate to visit and spend several days in the vicinity of Brno in Moravia, Czech Republic. This region is particularly important, among other things, the discovery in the twenties of last century the site of Dolní Věstonice [1], one of the oldest and best preserved prehistoric archaeological sites, dating from the Upper Paleolithic, between 29,000 and 25,000 BC were unearthed at the site many utensils and ceramic figurines depicting animals and humans, among which a special find. There was a figurine of a woman with characteristics of the Paleolithic female statuettes large breasts and hips exaggerated, highlighting feminine traits, of which the Venus of Willendorf is the best known example. Naturally, the figure is known as the Venus of Dolní Věstonice, and is the oldest of its type on record. The Paleolithic Venus have long been a subject of controversy regarding its purpose. "Charms? "Toys? "Idols?

In 2008, the sixtieth anniversary of the first publication of the most widely distributed book by Robert Graves (1895-1985), as was his essay "The White Goddess. Deeply influenced by the book The Golden Bough Scottish anthropologist Sir James Frazer (1854-1941), Graves stated that the relationship between the poet and source of inspiration, and originally his muse, is reminiscent of an alleged cult mother goddess, poetry being an invocation to that. This primitive and archetypal mother goddess had been present in the mind of man not as a primitive religion as itself a representation of the mystery of fertility, based on matriarchal societies. It has been branded as The White Goddess be no more than a speculative argument and no scientific basis, so this theory has been more or less neglected by the modern social sciences. However, the English poet's arguments deserve constant review by its forcefulness.

Auge and decay of the Mother Goddess

While it is difficult to verify the existence of a cult of femininity in the Paleolithic, there is plenty of archaeological evidence of their existence in the Neolithic (c. 7,000 to 4,000 BC) period which provides some insight about its possible origin. Over the hunter-gatherer societies to the emergence of agriculture and domestication of animals, fertility and concrete presence became important in the development of human symbolic thought. Proof of this is given by the countless remains of statues and ritual objects associated with a clear dominance of female figures dating from this period and have been found throughout the length and width worldwide.

Footprints of primordial mother goddess remained in the cultures of antiquity, but were losing ground product of the rise of the male figure as an engine of urban progress. We presume that the improvement of means of production, development of settlements which led to the first towns and work predominantly male trade as displaced women, the man would have removed his partner's leadership and agricultural work relegated to the care of children. Religious denominations shifted to cemeteries with male gods in the lead, although most of the classical civilizations had archaic goddesses whose attributes were eventually caught by other deities according to the order being established. So it was with the cult of Mut in Egypt of the third millennium BC, the goddess connected with water, creative mother of the world, over time their performance was assimilated to the goddess Hathor, and this then to that of Isis, as a member and a more complex pantheon of gods. This situation also occurred in Mesopotamia and Ishtar the goddess Tiamat. The fertility cult rituals often involved where sex was the central element.

The Rape of Europa

The triumph of order over the male and female livestock and agriculture can guess the structure Indo-European peoples of the Bronze Age, who once saved this momentous milestone formed a model of a patriarchal society, originally semi-nomadic and highly hierarchical. Georges Dumézil studied in depth the culture and Indo-European myths, stating that it was people with a strong class division, having an influential clerical stratum, a warrior caste with its own codes and rites of passage, and a class based on agriculture and domestic. A different reading of Greek myths seem to confirm this hypothesis, and that's how you wanted to see the abduction of Europa by Zeus in the form of a bull, or possession of the same animal bestial Princess made Pasiphae as a representation of the victory of life over the culture density matriarchal Cretan.

The extension of Indo-European groups in Europe have also meant a drastic change in the system of beliefs, with the consequent imposition of polytheistic religion and focused predominantly on the male aspect of nature, which has its counterpart in the fact that male hierarchy were the main actors in this new society. For example, Potnia Theron and Cybele ("Lady of the beasts") were the respective Minoan goddesses and Phrygian cult of prehistoric roots, spread throughout much of the eastern Mediterranean, and which aspects were replaced in largely by the latest goddess Artemis, who as a virgin did not include female sexual worship. The same happened with the decline of the cult of Demeter [2] ("Mother Goddess"), which probably dated to the Neolithic. Demeter was the goddess of agriculture, symbolizing life and death, and was a cornerstone of the Eleusinian mythology that preceded the Olympics. In Hinduism, the feminine dimension of divinity survived in the Vedic tradition under the name of Devi or Shakti in its many forms. Polytheistic Indo-European cultures absorbed many of the cults of femininity rooted in Europe since the Neolithic. This as happened with the Celtic goddess Danu, whose worship was widespread across most of Europe [3], or the goddess Freyja in Norse lands.

The sexual aspect of the mother goddess, was separated from the other dimensions of the goddess, and channeled to other cults that were becoming more limited and controlled, by virtue of sexual debauchery associated with them. For example, capitalized Aphrodite in Greece, like its counterpart in Rome Venus, the erotic aspect of the ancient rites, leaving other projections of the feminine to entities such as Hera, Artemis and Gaia.

Metaphysics and monotheism

radical and definitive change came with the advent of moral religions and monotheists. Semitic cultures have inherited an archaic system of taboos strictly ritualized than currently testifies Jewish Orthodoxy and Islam, and eventually strengthening the patriarchal figure as an archetype of the divine force that more structured but also polytheistic Indo-European faiths. Sexuality, once a fundamental part of the archaic rituals of fertility, became a utilitarian function, related to the control that produce natural instincts, therefore the blame, and later with sin. Metaphysical idealization of the human soul over the body, a conception that early Christianity was endorsed from the Neoplatonism dogmatized stressed and understanding of the flesh as a prison negligible, and the genitals as a stain, a stain.

Contempt body began to take effect with the emergence of philosophy and metaphysics. With the rise of trade and promoted after the contact between very different cultures together, the old ways of thinking were subjected to comparison and discussion. Along with the birth of Western philosophy, in many regions of the known world was evident the need for greater emphasis on belief systems ethical and moral aspects of human life. Karl Jaspers identifies this kind of shift of thought with a period of history he called the "Time-Axis", which occurred approximately between VII and V centuries BC So while Xenophanes criticized the anthropomorphism of the gods in Greece, and both Parmenides and Heraclitus gave start to the current ongoing discussion on the problem of Being, Palestinian Jewish religion took its final form. By then, more and more scarce traces of the mother goddess were in formal and popular religion. Female gender is a constant reminder of physicality to the point that hindered the thoughts of philosophers, religious leaders, as an annoying ground wire to be kept in the background, both in society and in the spiritual. It was.

Monotheism exclusivity required not only worship but also a new order that was to begin with loss of fertility cult. The female shaman or priestess, and rare species of Christianity, fell into the category of witch [4], a representative from what we have to fear, the mystery of evil, night and darkness paramount. However, eradicating the mother goddess of the collective unconscious, in terms of Jung, was a much more complicated than the simple and gruesome persecution of pagans and heretics. Christianity had to make some concessions for the sake of its distribution, so that you can see today in worship Catholic Mary, makeup reminiscent of a cult abandoned. Among other names, Jesus' mother Mary holds titles that suggest its insidious form of God, as the Regina Coeli or the Θεοτόκος [5]. The Queen of Heaven can be seen as the mother goddess who refused to disappear from the collective imagination, and was adapted to the new requirements of the imperial religion. Still, in the XXI century women remain barred from the priesthood in the Catholic Church.

The sacred feminine:
conclusions
In reviewing the evolution of beliefs over the centuries, it appears how we got to certain ways of thinking to make them compatible and consistent with an established social order. Today we take for granted that any doctrine can be questioned, and the power that one way or another relies on it for legitimacy. However, in ancient times, when primitive societies began to be structured as a hierarchy that is so familiar now, the fabric of the community should have its counterpart in the explanations were of reality, and this condition should be initiated at cost it was necessary. In recent millennia, but many gods were created and many others have been forgotten irreparable, it seems that the image of the Mother Goddess is still present. Without going any further, in the same Catholic faith, so widespread in the West, the image of the Virgin Mary seems to trigger in the believer a sense of closeness, traditional mediation with the divine, but as linked to a deep existential sense of protection that comes from a pervasive archetypal mother in the unconscious.

From a secular perspective, it should be understood that the sacred is not necessarily related to religion, ie not a monopoly of this way of seeing the world. On the other hand, religion does have an origin in the appearance of mystery for the recognition that human beings make the world, which is itself the source of the sacred. The experience of the sacred is a product of man's amazement at the spectacle which, to his understanding, is the universe he inhabits. When his song apocryphal Antonio Machado said that "women are the face of being. Without women there is no monster or know ', briefly told us that she has been and is the generative force of the human, representing the eternal search feature of our species. It is understandable that the human race has been identified in women is pervasive and constant generation of the cosmos: the feminine was a symbol and an embodiment of the sacred. If we assume that mythical thought responds to its own logic, the presence of women is natural, because it evokes the mystery of life even today, when we trust that science is key to many doors. The ability to wonder, however, is emotional rather than rational.

"Unauthorized Biography of the Vatican", Santiago Camacho

At left is the cover with which I meet when I came across this volume of 336 pages of English journalist Santiago Camacho. We see the very famous St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican (which I was lucky enough to visit), with a purple sky behind it, where it hovers in a lighter shade a huge swastika. While a blanket cover these features can sensationalize some prejudices about the supposedly impartial intentions of the author, a reader must support the reactionary move from page to page, the image does not exaggerate, or better, well worth a mass. Camacho has a predilection with issues relating to secret societies and conspiracies, and realize other books of his authorship as 20 great conspiracies of history or Sewers Empire. In this installment, the writer makes a comprehensive review on the recent history of the Catholic Church and his left hand during the twentieth century transformation into a true multinational company, like any other group, can be dirty (and is) uncomfortable airing .

The impoverishment of the Catholic Church during the nineteenth century became final with the gradual reduction of the territories belonging to the Papal States, and was sealed in 1870 when his dominions were reduced the current 0.44 km. squares Vatican City. The precarious economic situation remained unchanged until 1929, when Pius XI and Mussolini's Fascist government signed the Lateran Treaty, which meant exorbitant financial concessions on the part of Italy the sovereign State of Vatican, among other royalties courts. Thereafter, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR, or better known as the Vatican Bank) trusted papal coffers as dark characters Bernardino Novara, Michele Sindona, Roberto Calvi or Cardinal Marcinkus, whose movements of money from investment walked in Italian and international companies, to explicit link with the Sicilian Mafia and U.S., the CIA (and the financing of the fight against the Communist bloc), fascist regimes (the same Italy, Croatia, Germany), the extreme right, warlords Hispanic and trafficking of arms and heroin. Among the many shocking events, documents how the Vatican is facilitated Hitler's rise to power, kept silent about genocide, given asylum in their compounds and p
dismissed his flight to help Nazi war criminals (with false passports and Red Cross help of the CIA), or as articulated a series of rinses and money laundering holes ending with individual prosecutors and the scandalous collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in 1982 (being the main shareholder IOR). There is talk of the rarefied circumstances surrounding the death of Pius XI and John Paul I, the assassination attempt on John Paul II and the actions of Propaganda Due . More intrigue and blood in the best Scorsese films.

Although the work is well documented, at times one misses a large number of references to literature sources from which it received at least one engaging in the text data. Unauthorized Biography Vatican (2005, Ed Martínez Roca) has the merit of data already known (unfortunately for the Holy See), but exposed in a chronic form of orderly, accessible, and indeed terrifying which plots the raw truth: the business of selling faith is governed by laws as Machiavellian as they were evident at the time of the Borgias.

Calf Exercises For Bowlegs

"The Dying Animal" Philip Roth Bonsai

A few days ago a dear friend of mine, conspicuous and acute psychologist, appeared smiling with this title as a gift for my birthday, knowing that I would complicate the existence during the time it would take read it. It was.

This is a short novel, but not too simple. Narrating in first person, a university professor and seventy years is installed on your couch next to a listener unfamiliar that the reader can assimilate as soon oneself, to hear that, patient, a cluster of reports that the professor has to tell, or in my impression, to confess. The memories start eight years earlier, and revolve around an intense relationship the teacher establishes with a student of Cuban origin, thirty-eight years younger than him. The result of all this is a wonderful delivery from the American Philip Roth, where we get into the conflicts of a learned man, and seductive sound that pays not without difficulty and first time negligent emotions, insecurity of obsession, passion anachronistic, the uncomfortable lack of control of the intellectual. We have a really dense novel, which deceives easy reverberates reading but before long, their deeply human thoughts about sex, anarchy, love, the inevitability of aging and death attitude. This is the dying animal.

In short: short text, but focused and subtle, and therefore almost damn-inducing violence against the hard facts of life. Reading experience, mature and highly recommended.

First Auditions Mediafire

Man or restriction of thinking

Each of us is a seed, an individual who has latent potential to germinate and result in a leafy tree, perfect, certainly, but whose roots delve into solid humanistic values; flexible, more trunk strengthened by the care of their training. The fact leads us, however, to meet a man bonsai: plant, arrested in its development by repeated pruning and the finest ties, yet stronger than the wire, twisted with grace and will of those who understand the art to shape and form partnerships with the desired direction, devoid of cultural compost to facilitate their full growth.

In terms of thinking all is said, that's clear. However, the literature finds many leading thinkers, who have already sketched lines of discernment whose validity transcends generations, that based concepts have been analyzed and the common man today can access through your own intuition and reasoning, but unfortunately often fleeting paroxysms of light. The average human being who lives only, not mostly interested in the justification of freedom, the existence of the property. Occasionally sees some operational definition, tentative, and after a few minutes to leave because it is not useful in day to day. There may be convicted for it: he is alone and nobody helps deepen their natural instinct for the understanding of things. Can not form an opinion full of nothing, now that alternatives to the counts are low, shallow and filtered by the system in which he lived.

"The Republic" Plato's "Nicomachean Ethics" of Aristotle, "The Prince" Machiavelli, "The Praise of Folly" by Erasmus of Rotterdam, "Leviathan" of Hobbes, "The Spirit of laws "of Montesquieu and" The Social Contract "of Rousseau, to name a few examples, are books that I got on my own. During my school years, works like these not only were not included in basic reading, but their very titles were rare or no time mentioned. In Chile almost nobody reads the classics, are omitted from the school no more, and few miss. Yes prominently in educational programs, however, magical realism, the apotheosis of the third world literature suburb, in short, a culture of mediocrity, the ne plus ultra and fortified stronghold.

I find it difficult not to recognize, or at least suspicious of all this a systematic screening, expressly made the most egregious "fertilizer of thought" to be found in the lyrics universal. What's happening? Nothing new under the sun. Two thousand five hundred years of experience plutocracy in the West provide sufficient experience to the ruling class that it knows exactly the enzymes that promote companies to challenge the order they imposed.

Young people studying for the day to day, learning is disposable, saving the pitfall of the note is. On the other hand, schools do not teach children to learn, to understand why it is necessary reading and personal training. While there is no drastic change at this level, and the system continues to restrict access to lines of thought, action is just and intellectually motivating catalyst that can make every family in homes. I believe that this space is essential to supplement education in those areas where falente. Texts like those above are an encouragement to the reason for the forging of ideas and the creation of an adult with discretion and sound concepts. It should encourage critical reading, analysis, discussion of the contingent and not bury our heads to reality. It is necessary that future generations do not just live, but to form an opinion on the various aspects of life itself. Culture may sponsor, good book, and ultimately, the freethinking.

Vintage Police Cars Sale

Neuquén, Argentina

I will be brief. As much as my passing through this city. Neuquén is the capital of Argentina's Neuquen Province, and the largest city in Patagonia. Traveling by bus is about 6 hours from San Martin de los Andes, Mendoza, 10, being half way between each city, more or less at the height of Temuco in Chile. Founded in 1904, is home to many businesses and its economy is essentially fruit and oil. 70 million years ago, dinosaurs were walking around here like he owned the place, like nowhere else in the world. The bus terminal is 40 blocks from downtown. Take a bus and get off at the plaza. After visiting the new and worthy National Museum of Fine Arts, we were ready to go.

This photo realizes what greener than we saw in Neuquén. It's a dry town in the middle of Patagonia. Plaza to the Report, Life and Commitment. On the plate reads: "This is a tribute Neuquén People's victims, a repudiation of the dictatorship, we assume speak without euphemisms absurd, as in Chile and impunity, and a commitment to democracy , truth and justice ".

Argentina Avenue, the city's commercial center and a plaza with the necessary monument to San Martín, the famous Liberator, omnipresent in the Argentine cities.

Walking up Avenida Argentina until the final pass swiftly -25 minutes from downtown-the tourist map captive promised three landmarks: the Plaza de las Banderas, the Christ, and a stunning viewpoint. The real tourist should be prepared to encounter anything. Not everything has to be white sandy beaches, surfing daikiri and banana. It is noted that this city are pumping money to become in the near future hopefully, in a attractive tourist destination. Well, this is the view of Neuquén from the famous square-the-only two flags, and left an emaciated stick cristito was sorry.

Egregia a Peladero view from the disappointing "Viewpoint." Clay, graffiti on walls and trash on the highway, Argentina is usually very clean, "I felt at home. After that, it was worth going to a good lunch meat, and mitigate the pain by buying books, which are always a bargain in this country, compared with the theft of Chilean prices. Back to the new and well maintained bus terminal, is not sarcasm, and heading to Mendoza. July 2007.

How Old Is Johnny Maniac

San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina

Bariloche is the main winter tourist city that exist in South America. I ended up visiting now, in 2007, then ten years ago, back in 1997, for reasons of force majeure could not be fitted to the "study tour" to my class at school made this beautiful city. Better late than never.

is very close to the Andes, on the southern shore of lake Nahuel Huapi and is surrounded by lush forests of conifers and native trees, mountains and other smaller lakes. The climate is high mountain, and there are well aware, why they cultivate an appearance of Swiss Alps in much of its recent architecture. Not only is this thing look : Since before its founding in 1902, Europeans had already settled in the area, mainly Germans coming from Chile. These became Mapuche territories formerly owned by immigrants and much Caucasian fellow Southerner who came to the city rising in the early twentieth century, as they say in good Chilean looking paste. The subsequent industrialization of the city, especially since the 1920's, where logging was the dominant, this city became increasingly attractive and thriving.

In Cerro Catedral is the largest ski resort in the region. The tracks are of varying difficulty. The day coincided with a day were changing climate, where it snowed, clouded, there was sun and turned to snow.

to the summit of Cerro Otto is accessed by a cable car offering a privileged view of Bariloche, the lake and the snowy mountains. Once up, the view is unbeatable and the wind is powerful.

The city's civic center was built in the 1930's, like other architectural landmarks that have changed the rustic look that boasted Bariloche, with its wooden buildings in southern Chilean style. To the right is the building of the Municipality with its clock tower.

Bariloche This is the hidden, that is not usually scrutinized by the eyes of the visitors. We came across this landscape as if we went up about eight to ten blocks from the same civic center. There are no slums in this city made up mostly of working middle class people. The low proportion of social housing here are some buildings more or less comparable to our old CORVI, far more worthy than what is seen in Chile. In the picture, correspond to these blocks yellow listed to the right.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi.

Finally, in a candy factory. Bariloche's chocolate has legendary status. It's pretty good but not outstanding. Some traditional families have been devoted to chocolateo and import cocoa from Brazil and Colombia, to develop using traditional sweets. July 2007.

About 8 kilometers away from the port of Talcahuano, in the Bio-Bio Region, is the Caleta Tumbes. This traditional fishing outpost hidden in the northern peninsula of Tumbes, which is almost all the territory administered by the Navy of Chile. A few years ago, Tumbes visit was exclusive of the sailors and Residents of the Naval Base. Luckily, these have been gradually dying out remnants of the dictatorship, and today the site is free access.

A brief review: the area was once inhabited by the Mapuche, until in 1816 he settled a contingent of English families of fishermen, shipbuilders and carpenters from localities of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Santander, San Sebastian). Currently living in Tumbes about 300 families, descendants of these immigrants and dedicated to the business of fishing. Are people friendly and simple.

Virtually-jenna Cervix

Sicut erat in principio On May

The XXI century Catholic Church strikes again, and this is how today expect a new and imminent symptom of the systematic destruction of the progressive legacies of the Second Vatican Council. The ultra-conservative and traditionalist twist is the self experiencing Pedro Church is dragged from the beginning of the pontificate of Karol Wojtyla, and its current successor, Joseph Ratzinger, is emerging as an increasingly nineteenth-century figure. murmuring coming from this long ago, but on Saturday 7 July 2007 that Pope Benedict XVI came to confirm and give date: the return of the Tridentine Mass , or liturgy in Latin.

allow me a brief review of the matter. The Tridentine Mass takes its name from the Council of Trent (1545-1563), and was structured by the then Pope Pius V as a way to sort and mix the Catholic liturgy, which to date was given in many languages \u200b\u200bas there was in Western regions . From the seventh century and quite upset Latin had given way to several local languages, and a couple of centuries had already passed the sad and dusty catalog of dead languages. However, the Latin Mass is held in many places, partly because it was redactada principalmente en tal glosa. Pío V, en su bula Quo primum tempore estipuló que la misa debía mantenerse absolutamente inalterable, y prohibió que se agregaran nuevas liturgias a la ya existente. Es por eso que la misa "unificada" en latín, en rigor, es un hecho de la edad moderna, y se extendió en tal fecha por el mundo católico, suprimiendo en sus templos los ritos tradicionales en arameo, hebreo, griego o en los más accesibles lenguajes locales. Aquellos pueblos de raigambre indígena, como el "Reyno de Chile", nunca conocieron el latín vivo. El feligrés criollo y común entendía poco y nada de lo que el sacerdote balbuceaba en el púlpito; en parte by the acoustics of the magnificent House of God, and essentially because only children of wealthy families and meager always landowners had access to the teaching of Latin lingua . This situation is repeated all over the globe.

What happened at Vatican II (1962-1965) was revolutionary in a broad sense. With the deletion of the Latin Mass and the homily translated into the language that every nation know from the cradle, the faithful could understand the meaning of the rite, and bring the message to their lives in consciousness, just as he could have done to preach Jesus Mount in Aramaic or maybe in Greek (not Hebrew language in the first century was restricted to the Jewish liturgy.) This innovative step, with clear borders of social change and that was certainly well received in most American Catholics, was soon rejected by the ultra factions of the Church, encouraging even a schism in 1988 with the division of Lefebvre father's supporters, who rejected the church squarely in another language other than that of Virgil. In the XXI century, there are no classes in Latin except in rare cases, and only a handful of men who wear red like the devil, they say, the Cardinals can understand the language fluently.

intention to reverse this action had been brewing for some time, just as was done for almost thirty years with almost everything that Vatican II did. This is how in today signed a pontifex motu proprio, published last Saturday, which authorizes the release of the Tridentine Mass for the restriction of the liturgical reform council post in 1969. Through that apostolic letter establishing the return to the use of the Missal of St. Pius V (revised in 1962) to count from 14 September this year. John Paul II was already showing signs that foretold its return through a document promulgated in 1984, which authorized the celebration of the Latin Mass if this was requested by the faithful of the diocese bishop.

More signs of the same doctrinaire fashion: it is expected that these days is issued a second document confirming the controversial declaration Dominus Iesus 2000. It stated that only the Catholic Church is the Church of Christ. " For Pope B-16, as sure as their predecessors from Pius IX stipulate that it is true that various Christian churches to consider holding the same degree of truth. Caused burning in the orthodox churches, Anglican and Protestant of that year, and will do now. Meanwhile, the priest returns to give the back to the congregation during the homily, and the poor who is a believer of this, the only true church, you can not understand what his pastor says during the Eucharist. For the most critical, already considered fairly vacuous masses, we now look more arcane and less sense to have your assistance.

could stay calm in an attitude of mere observer in front of the Vatican decision. In the final analysis, the issues of management and internal policies are a matter that concerns them only to them, and (perhaps) to the faithful devotees, while those who are not believers should stand aside to say whether they decide celebrate mass in Coptic or Syriac. So why should I care? This measure church, like many others already taken and many more to come, are consistent with the retro wave who commented at the beginning, in which the empire strikes back (We should understand, religion) seeking to recover its traditional image, and the control it once had on society in all areas. After Communion in Latin, the apostles of pelucones will leave their temples to interfere in the private sphere to prevent the issue of condoms on the beach, or contraceptives at clinics, as we have seen. Some notorious of these same characters move their fundamentalism into politics as if they had not realized that church and state as separate entities. Well, I say to them: exaudite beati, Iesus quod ipse dixit, quae sunt Caesaris Caesari redde, et quae sunt Dei Deo!

Allergy Red Watery Bumps On The Body



In the first congress of the Second Socialist International, held in Paris in 1889, established that henceforth, every first of May would be celebrated on Labor Day, in memory of the events Chicago. Everyone has heard the story. On May 1886, some 80,000 workers took to the streets of Chicago, demanding a day 8-hour working. A anarchists joined the strike, independent, organized workers across the country, and in the days following violent clashes with police. Protesting the police action, some 2,500 people gathered in the Chicago market, there came about 200 policemen dead suppressed the crowd after someone threw a bomb that killed an officer. The fact left several dead and hundreds injured. At the movement's leaders were tried in a fraudulent process and was sentenced to hang for Parsons, Spies, Fischer and Engel, the "Martyrs of Chicago."

The print and broadcast media around the world makes this event review, not to forget the slaughter of Chicago. Chile could not escape to remember this day. At the end of the day, everyone remembers him, especially the socialist countries influenced by past or present. However, it is curious that in the Czech Republic, the first of May is celebrated as the day of love, in the words of the poet Karel Hynek Macha: " pvrní Byl Maj, lásky byl čas" (It was the first of May, it was time of love) . On May not celebrated either in U.S. or Canada as International Labour Day, what that sounds ironic coming from countries where the anarchist movements emerged and workers who originated the event.

However, and here's the really ironic, Chile these days makes little or no mention of facts which, without detracting in any way the importance of self remembered first of May, Chicago, are important directly in the history of labor and union movement in the country, claimed the lives of thousands . What we have heard lately, for example, what happened at the Escuela Santa María de Iquique? The twenty- December this year marks the centenary of the massacre that killed about three thousand men, women and children who only took a fair wage. This parliamentary Chile, oligarchic and oppressive labor movement had allowed other bloody episodes like the slaughter of the longshoremen in Valparaiso (1903), the massacre in Chile saltpeter (1904) and took place in Santiago (1905). After Iquique, would accommodate no less bloody events, and Puerto Natales (Puerto Bories, 1919), Punta Arenas (Labor Federation, 1920) or Antofagasta (Office nitrate San Gregorio, 1921). The story tends to behave like a sinister spiral and if the media fail to refer to these events, is in every one of us to keep the memory, so that massacres like those do not occur today or in future generations.

will conclude with a special greeting to my dear friends from South time, ensembles these days has taken the beautiful task of spreading in the Region of Valparaíso, with masterful talent, the work " Santa María de Iquique Cantata, "composed in 1969 by Luis Advis, popularized by the interpretation of Quilapayún 1970 and in force today with special force. Thanks, guys, for helping to raise awareness of what happened one hundred ago years.

Vienna, Austria

In Vienna, the capital of Austria, breathe smell fine arts and cafes. Reminiscent of a glorious past is evident in the majestic buildings of downtown. First things first, so first of all I drank a cup of coffee with a tasty apple strudel , and after that I went to visit the city.

Leaving the subway, the first thing you see is the impressive Catedral de San Esteban (Stephansdom ). The current building, a symbol of Vienna, is located where there was an old church dating 1147. Often the great cathedrals of Europe are the result of ongoing renovations and expansions that could take centuries. Its original Romanesque style was replaced by the Gothic in the fourteenth century, and the impressive South Tower was completed in 1433.

The second largest church in Vienna is the Church of San Carlos Borromeo (Karlskirche ). Emperor Charles VI ordered the construction a year after the bubonic plague that struck in Vienna in 1713, devoting himself to his patron saint Charles Borromeo. Baroque style, it features a façade of a Greek temple. At the sides rise two columns with bas-reliefs show episodes from the life of the saint said, with a design clearly inspired by the model of Trajan's Column.

As rabid fan of Gustav Klimt, I could not stop going to the famous Ausstellungsgebäude der Wiener Secession, built between 1897 and 1898. Secession was a movement of modern artists, gathered to explore new styles beyond the limits of what traditional schools teach. We talked about a time when Vienna was the epicenter of the avant-garde art, music and psychoanalysis. At that time, the building was strongly criticized for its relatively dissonant lines, when compared with the surrounding architecture. Inside the museum, you can see the Beethoven Frieze ( Beethovenfries, appreciable http://www.secession.at/beethovenfries/ ), the former first president of the Secession, Klimt himself. Consequently, today make exhibitions of modern art, constantly renewing.

Under the golden dome reads: "Each time, his art. In every art, its freedom." March 2007.

Traveling through Europe

I arrived from Prague on March 19 in the morning. Ended my 3 week trip through the Old World. It was something I had waited a long time. The nuances and projects this small initial passage was changing on the fly, generating new ways and different sites of which one had thought to visit.

One of the first things was the confrontation with the same system that want to implement urban transport in Santiago, Chile, and which has been operating for many years in Europe, both in large cities and in small. Buses, trains and trams (I love them) work coordinated transfers are made and are not problems at peak times.

The Mohyla Míru , or Monument of Peace, erected in commemoration of the Battle of Austerlitz (1805), fought near the present village of Prace , Sokolnice and others, just minutes from the city of Brno in South Moravia.


Most of the time spent in the Czech Republic. This country is simple, generous and charming. Every small town seems preserved with a unique love for his people. Living in the countryside or in rural villages, there is not synonymous with isolation, poverty or less, as might be elsewhere. Far away, in the picture is Mikulov, a town on the border with Austria.


Here I am in Valtice , the main city of wine (Czech: Hlavní město vina) in South Moravia. The wine of this region is fresh, soft, very nice. These are the villages that I love. It looks like a story.


I stayed three days and two nights in Prague. I walked so much, both in the city. Praha is full of mysterious streets and smells of history everywhere. In the Old Town (Staré Město ) ancient buildings stand, when Prague was the center of the Holy Roman Empire. At bottom, we see the imposing Catedral de San Vito, a symbol local.


required Here is the picture in the oldest known bridge in Prague, Charles Bridge ( Karlův Most ). It was built by Emperor Charles IV in 1357. It is quite long, with more than 500 meters long, and there are 30 statues of saints placed on its pillars. Although the picture was moved, has the grace that took me a couple of Chileans who I met while crossing there.

dramatic change of scenery. Italy is a country with abundant good taste. I got a very warm climate for winter, with sunny days that forced enjoy good ice cream that the country offers. The trip included cities such as Milan, Rome, Florence, Verona and Venice, among others. What is seen in the background is the Vatican City in Rome.


Again, however, are small towns that attracted by his charm more than big cities. In Lombardy, northern Italy, some lakes that are home to beautiful villages on its banks. Lecco is an example of where I would live happy.


Bicycling in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. Arriving at the terminal, one can borrow a bike without paying anything, just leaving their identification. Everyone cycling in Italy, and of course, a clever way of promoting tourism, this was the choice.


New change of venue. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia. Its old town is amazing, with cobbled streets, all those red roofs and the imposing castle on the top.

In the center of cities like Bratislava, instead of destroying the traditional buildings, repair and recondition the walls inside the premises, so as not to lose architectural heritage.

I think it's enough photos for today. And I will upload more pictures of my escapades.
