in Your Opinion on: When do we need to break the rules? on Paulo Coelho's Blog
Dear Paulo,
Well, before replying to you, I went on the internet to read more about this case, so that I can give an opinion.
You are absolutely right. What I read about this girl made me think that the Church is not taking the circumstances into account.
In England, there was a case recently, of a 13 year old child fathering a baby with a girl who was 15. The girl didn't tell her mother she was pregnant, and the baby was born. But it makes you wonder: how can kids this young be good parents to other children? what does it say about our broken society? Here's the an article about it:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/...
There was also the Pope's case recently in Africa, who declared that condoms made AIDS worse in Africa. Why does he have to say that in such a place at such a moment in time?
I know that as a chief representative of the Catholic church, his role is to deliver a certain message, and obey a dogma. In THEORY, the philosophy of abstinence or a faithful marriage in monogamy is indeed what prevents a number of cases...but not all! Sadly, HIV is NOT just transmitted by sexual contact, but also by blood transfusion. So, let's say if one of the married partner has an operation, gets contaminated by the blood, and is catholic to the core (not accepting the condom) she/he will in turn contaminate the spouse/husband.
It's high time they look at reality and circumstances, because sticking to theories and dogma is not the answer to everything.
Take care

in Your Opinion On : Same sex relationship on Paulo Coelho's Blog
Dear Paulo
I think that what counts is that they are happy together.
Like every other individual, they have to be respected, and treated equally. Sadly, it isn't always the case.
I like to see people happy together, and I don't judge them any differently because of their sexual orientation (or anything else).
It's wonderful when 2 people find happiness.
Bless your heart Paulo & fellow fans
Best wishes

in The Frankfurt Book Fair Speech on Paulo Coelho's Blog
Thank you Paulo for sharing your speech with us here on the Internet.
It has the great advantage of hearing your message, even if we're not physically there. It is so important!
I think you are absolutely right. The book has a totally different approach from other forms of media like music or film. If anything else, the sales of books have soared in recent years. More people read now than ever before. It's thanks to the publicity of articles posted for free on the Internet, and extracts made available to reveal talent.
It's such an inspiration. The books will never die.

in Facebook Kills Networks on AllFacebook
I was using this a lot, to connect with my colleagues based in different countries.
I think it's awful of Facebook of not asking for its users' opinion before doing something like this.
Besides, it's a social NETWORK. Isn't it meant to socialise externally as well as with the people you already know?
It puzzles me.
