The endless Yasukuni debate

I know its been a week, but I needed to write about Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s visit to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine. It was his fifth visits since taking office in April 2001, there by keeping his promise to visit the shrine every year.

Petition for Walter

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

Please sign this petition for Our Lady’s pastor Fr. Walter Cuenin. The more I read about it, the more it makes me sad, and angry because it is just so unfair. There is now a group called Our Lady’s Friends, and they do a good job keeping media clippings, but simple google news query […]
