Alex de Figueiredo: the only Fr Hannon victim who sought compensation from the Vatican in vain!

  Hi Cyprian, Hope you are well. (Alex was Fr Hannon's only victim to fight for compensation from the Vatican. Allex was brave enough to go public about Hannan's abuse of young boys in his charge. All his other victims (at those that I knew of) have gone to their Maker.    Thanks for asking. I got nothing from them, not even an apology. The Catholic Church is racist.  Every Irish child abused by the Catholic Church was paid 250,000 euros in compensation.  For children in third-world countries, the Church paid nothing because they knew it would not be investigated.  Sultan and I compiled a summary of the action I took. We sent it to various Catholic administration offices, such as the archbishop in the USA and the Vatican, with no response. My sister, who is a nun in Dublin, even went to the Irish police to see what could be done once all hell broke loose when it was discovered that several Irish boys who went to the esteemed Black Rock College were abused....

The sweetest love letter

  Afriend of mine once sent me the note below. I often return to it when I am in the dumps. It is    such a beautiful story I thought I might share it with you all. Dear Cyprian, My family and I thought that your email was so sincere and beautifully written. You summed up all that he (John Mascarenhas) represented so well. Many thanks for your kind words and sentiments from us all. As you can imagine, having gone through losing your beloved Rufi, I am still in a daze after all that has happened and I just can’t get motivated into doing anything. I feel so empty and miss him so much, especially with Christmas round the corner. Things you take for granted all come to mind now, like there is no one to greet you at the door or share a cup of tea when you get home. There is no one to tell you how nice you look or take care of or cook for. I miss his warm and tender love, hugs and kisses, his smell, his lovely smile and our little chats at night. I smile sometimes and c...

Tusker beer heading for oblivion?

 https://phoenix-browser.com/BfQiREWV1Nw Diago PLC could dispose of its shares in EABL Group as part of its 500 million cost-cutting program to fight-off the effects of US tariffs, sluggish demand worldwide, including East Africa and a reduction in drinking habits in key markets. Tusker lager was first brewed in 1922 with the first order made at the then Exchange Bar, at the Stanley Hotel. EABL’s margins have been steadily declining in recent years following heavy taxation and excessive regulation on the business. Diageo Plc could dispose of its shares in EABL Group as part of its US$ 500 million cost-cutting program to fight off effects of US tariffs, sluggish demand worldwide including East Africa and a reduction in drinking habits in key markets. Speculation over the UK Group’s planned divestiture from Kenya comes against recent tough measures in the East African country’s to prohibit the sale and consumption of alcohol, including raising the minimum age limit for alcohol consum...
