Is Catholic Church in crisis?

I think Catholic Church is in crisis due to the repeated denunciations presented in several countries for crimes of pederasty and sexual abuses committed by the priests. These events are not new but I think that it could not continue silently. There are many people disappointed with Catholic Church and I am one of them. Catholic Church has not listened to the society and therefore the church must accept the consequences.
Catholic Church has transformed in an extremely closed and moralistic organisation that has discriminated against many people without never putting in the place of other one. Many aberrations has happened. On the contrary we would hope that the church had a conciliator and cozy role. Anyhow there are some irreproachable priests who have devoted to the service of others and have given important examples of love and charity. I would like to see a Catholic Church less rigid in its positions and whose principle was to love one’s neighbor. Besides I would like that the Vatican admit its responsability for fomenting a culture of secrecy that allowed abuse to children for many years. I hope to happen a change in Catholic Church because of I think this organisation is necessary.

Music

I like to listen to music when I am alone, for example when I drive my car I listen to and sing many songs. I prefer Latin music, although I also like other music for example jazz and folk music. When I am with my friends or my boyfriend in some bars I like soft music because It is perfect for conversation. When I don’t want to think anything I listen to loud music and I forget all. My life without music would be very boring. I would like to learn to play a string instrument and to improve my singing. When I was in the school I was in a choir but now I sing very badly, I need too much practice. I think famous singers are lucky people because yours feelings and thought can come to many corners of the world and it crosses differents generations. Apparently if you are a famous singer you could remain alone without friends or family. It has happened with many famous singers as Michael Jackson, Kurt cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, etc.

Earthquake

February 27th, I was in my house, I was sleeping when I heard a loud noise and immediately began to move my bed with the earth movement. My mother started to shout and we come out to garden. We wait in this place the end of the earthquake. We were so scared!. That night I did not sleep a wink. The next day, I was in my house, very tired because electricity was cut off and I was discommoding due to drinking water was cut off also. The most important for me in this moment were my family and my friends, I forget thing like my computer, my telephone. I learnt that the most important for me are not the material goods.

My first blog

The blog is something new for me, my relationship with technology is not very good but I think it is always nice to learn new things. I have high expectations with this course, because I want to improve my english.

The first weeks of the doctoral program have been heavy, because in addition to attending classes, I am finishing work at a chemical company and I have my own business, a laboratory. Well I hope that when I finish working, everything changes. My classmates are very nice and we have different professions and activities, which is very interesting. I think it is rewarding to participate in this program.
