John Paul II: patron saint of anti-modernism

June 7, 2011 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- As part of its attempts to turn back the clock in the Catholic Church the Vatican drew 1.5 million of the devout to Rome on May 1 for the beatification ceremony of Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II. John Paul II may become the fastest declared saint in history.
The Vatican is also pushing the canonisation of Pius XII, who was pope during World War II.

W
ostatnich wyborach w związku zawodowym Narodowa Unia Sił
Nauczycielskich (Sindicato Nacional Fuerza Magisterial, Sinafum),
skupiającym istotną część nauczycieli, zdecydowane zwycięstwo odniósł
Orlando Pérez, zwolennik pozostania Sinafum w federacji związkowej
Narodowa Unia Robotników (Unión Nacional de Trabajadores, UNT). Wybory
ogłoszono także w Krajowej Federacji Pracowników Sektora Publicznego
(Federación Nacional de Trabajadores del Sector Empleados Públicos,
Fentrasep), do której należy około 90 proc. urzędników. Mają się one
odbyć 1 października. Komisja Krajowa UNT wyznaczyła w sierpniu kongres
i wybór nowych władz. Te informacje, podobnie jak pogłębianie się
procesu rewolucyjnego, to świetne wiadomości dla wenezuelskich
robotników.

Review by Barry Healy
July 28, 2009 -- In October 2008 the Catholic Synod of Bishops convened in Rome for a four-day theological discussion. Without warning, on the first day, Pope Benedict XVI suspended discussion and ordered the 200 participants to attend a special commemoration mass for Pius XII, who was the pope between 1939 and 1958.
