Hot Tea: Pope Francis Oks Catholic Priests Forgiveness of Abortion

As part of moves to make The Church more open and inclusive, Pope Francis has granted all Catholic Priests the right to forgive women who have had abortion(s). He will give the priests the discretion during the Roman Catholic Church's upcoming Holy Year.

His decision was revealed in a letter published by the Vatican. There, Pope Francis described the 'existential and moral ideal' faced by women who have terminated pregnancies.

He said priests should use words of genuine welcome but ensure those involved were aware of the gravity of the sin committed.

In the Catholic Church, abortion is a grave sin that those who perform it incur an automatic excommunication. It can only be forgiven by the chief confessor i.e Archbishop of the diocese.

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life. They even engage their victim in a discussion depending on the type of deal involved. The term 'scammer' is a

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
