A young doctor who was interested in becoming a friar arrived at the convent door. The prior arranged for him to speak to the master of novices.
“My dear doctor” said the master “the prior has asked me to give you this list of questions. He asks that you kindly answer them with your well informed knowledge”

Iraque e Afeganistáo revelam hoje a face mais cruel desse mundo unipolar no qual os Estados Unidos se empenham em assegurar uma preciosa mercadoria em fase de escassez: o petróleo. Morreram, naqueles paÃses, mais de 1 milháo de pessoas, a maioria civis e, do lado do agressor, 75 mil soldados americanos, mortos ou feridos.

Frei Betto über Yoani Sanchez:
On November 7th 2009 the world became aware that Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez had been attacked on a Havana street. According to her ”they threw me into a car¦ I snatched a piece of paper one of them was holding and put it in my mouth. I was struck so that I would return the document. My husband Orlando was in the car immobilised by a karate hold… they hit me on my kidneys and on my head to try and retrieve the paper¦ they dropped us on the street¦ a woman came up and asked ”What happened? ”A kidnapping I replied. <http://www.desdecuba.com/generaciony> )Three days after what happened on the street in Havana, Yoani Sanchez received the foreign press in her home.

Neo liberal ”ethics are reduced to the private virtues of individuals ignoring the vision of institutional ethics. They thus reinforce the paralysing attitude of morality which reduces ethics to individual illusory perfection. Now, if the society is structured, ethics are necessary for the configuration of the historical world. Therefore ethics demand a theory of normative politics from the institutions which rule society.http://www.hart-brasilientexte.de/2009/12/07/my-name-is-misery-they-have-forgotten-me-brasiliens-wichtigster-befreiungstheologe-frei-betto/

O mundo soube que, a 7 de novembro ultimo, a blogueira cubana Yoani Sánchez teria sido golpeada nas ruas de Havana. Segundo relato dela, „jogaram-me dentro de um carro… arranquei um papel que um deles levava e o levei à boca. Fui golpeada para devolver o documento. Dentro do carro estava Orlando (marido dela), imobilizado por uma chave de karatê… Golpearam-me nos rins e na cabeça para que eu devolvesse o papel… Nos largaram na rua… Uma mulher se aproximou: „O que aconteceu?“ „Um sequestro“, respondi. (www.desdecuba.com/generaciony) Três dias depois do ocorrido nas ruas da Havana, Yoani Sánchez recebeu em sua casa a imprensa estrangeira. Fernando Ravsberg, da BBC, notou que, apesar de todas as torturas descritas por ela, „náo havia hematomas, marcas ou cicatrizes“ (BBC Mundo, 9/11/2009). O que foi confirmado pelas imagens da CNN. A France Press divulgou que ela „náo foi ferida.“

Kuba hat annähernd soviele Einwohner wie Rio de Janeiro, jedoch andere Sozialindikatoren – siehe UNO-Index für menschliche Entwicklung. Uruguay liegt auf Platz 50, Kuba auf Platz 51, Brasilien auf Platz 75. Bisher in Europa kaum Interesse für systemkritische Blogger Brasiliens, die gravierende Menschenrechtsverletzungen anklagen. Null Interesse für Scheiterhaufen-und Slumdiktatur-Problematik: http://www.hart-brasilientexte.de/2009/09/16/scheiterhaufenstadt-rio-de-janeiro-der-grausame-tod-einer-48-jahrigen-frau-in-der-microondas-laut-lokalzeitung/
Havana at this time of year is bathed in a mild climate.  The heat is eased by the fresh breeze which blows from the blue waters behind the Malecón. Humidity recedes, although the population keeps an eye on the weather: October and November are hurricane months. Last year they destroyed almost 20% of the GNP which is today calculated at US$ 50 billion.http://www.hart-brasilientexte.de/2008/09/04/befreiungstheologe-frei-betto-widerspricht-lula-und-uno-soziale-ungleichheit-in-brasilien-nahm-unter-lula-nicht-ab-sondern-zu/http://www.hart-brasilientexte.de/2009/08/31/renommierte-brasilianische-menschenrechtsaktivisten-fotoserie/ (more…)
Christmas is a mixture of anxiety and frustration. In some corner of our unconscious nostalgia, a taste of the sun emerges. The symbols of the tree, the manger with Baby Jesus, the Virgin and the shepherds, all resound in the child we no longer are but who nevertheless inhabits us.
Social and union movements are pressuring for the cancellation of the auction to be held on December 18 2008 in Rio de Janeiro of areas of Brazilian oil and natural gas exploration and production.
