CARTOONS by Charles Schulz – Charlie Brown series

December 14, 2018 – 1:04 pm

Cartoonists are often informers, philosophers, comedians and more. The creator of the much loved Charlie Brown series was all of these and more. In a way, he was the Shakespeare of his day who had wonderful insights into the ‘Human Spirit’ and presented them to his readers for what they were worth. They proved to be worth a lot and helped people make adjustments to their lives and functions for the better.

Here are several thought provoking examples.

HOW I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS …. IN GUYANA

—– By Royden V. Chan – 1980

I remember Christmas was

The season when Santa came

But somehow today it’s different

The spirit is not the same.

As soon as school was closed

There was excitement in the air

You heard the carols playing

And knew the time was near.

Christmas: Deck the Halls with Crowds of Folly – By Yvonne Sam

December 12, 2018 – 12:24 am

As one can discern the origins of Christmas are neither biblical nor North American. Christmas in North America is a fusion of cultural folklore from Africa and Europe, brought to North America by Europeans who themselves were divided on their view of the practice of Christmas as pagan.

Pope Francis’ Say— On clergy who are actively gay.

By Yvonne Sam

His expressed sentiments are very clear; homosexuality among the clergy is a veritable fear.

In his soon- to- be published book, “The Strength of the Vocation” based on interviews with a Spanish born missionary priest, Fernando Prado, Pope Francis dissertation on the demands of being a priest, and bemoans the presence of homosexuality in the Church, saying that it is a serious matters that truly bothers him. “The issue of homosexuality is a grave situation that must be adequately discerned from the beginning with the candidates,” He further asserted that admission to the Catholic clergy should be denied males with ingrained homosexual tendencies, and actively gay priests should be encouraged to leave rather than live a double life.
