How can decisions we made in the past have seemed right when they were so wrong? How can we live with the consequences? Blackbird
This book addresses the crisis of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, the region of the world with the highest percentage of Catholics. Bringing together research from across the continent, it demonstrates that abuse within the Church is indeed a global phenomenon, though abuses have taken different forms according to varying sociocultural contexts. With attention to abuses committed against children, women and vulnerable adults – by both men and women – within the settings of parishes, new religious movements and international religious organizations, it also raises questions of justice, asking how to assess the suffering of victims, how to deal with abusers and how to prevent abuses. It will therefore be of interest to scholars of religious studies, sociology, Latin American studies, criminology, theology, and religious leaders with interests in the abuses and scandals that have been revealed in the worldwide Church.
"En Ave Negra, Elena Sada hace lo que nadie en la Legión de Cristo ha hecho: no sólo una descripción descarnada de lo que allí se vive cuando no hay público y se borran las sonrisas sostenidas con alfileres, obligatorias para los miembros cuando se enfrentan al mundo exterior, sino también un genuino mea culpa por las almas que a ella le tocaron en suerte como reclutadora estrella para el continente americano. Esa carga, que la autora asume con una sinceridad abrumadora, sacude en medio de un desierto de comunicados acartonados e hipócritas, de contriciones exculpatorias y de mentiras oficiales. Ave Negra expone de manera concreta los mecanismos que, a imagen y semejanza de Marcial Ma...

Only half of the Latino male student population in the United States graduates from high school and pursues a 2- or 4-year career preparation program (Pew Research Center, 2015; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018). This phenomenon is problematic because the lack of career preparation jeopardizes this population's ability to reach fulfillment and live above the poverty level, perpetuating social inequities and semi-caste systems (Flores-Gonzalez, 2002; Schott Foundation for Public Education, 2016). This study uses the postcolonial theory and explores the problem by using Riessman's (2008) thematic narrative analysis to create and analyze the stories of 10 Latino male 12th graders from the ...

Cakavian dialects, the westernmost dialects of the South Slavic language area, have long attracted the attention of investigators, largely owing to the complexity of their prosodic systems. These prosodic systems are interesting not only from a typological point of view, but also contain material of great importance for the study of Slavic historical accentology. The description of a Cakavian dialect in Istria (Croatia) presented in this volume contributes data for South Slavic historical dialectology, and for historical accentology. The book includes an introduction on Cakavian and other South Slavic dialects, particularly those spoken in Istria, and chapters, based on fieldwork by the author, on the phonology, morphology and some syntactic phenomena of the dialect of Orbanici. In the chapters on morphology, special attention is paid to accentuation types. The book also contains dialect texts (70 pp.) and a lexicon, in which all attested forms are listed.
In Vaticano hanno saputo degli abusi sessuali di Marcial Maciel fin dai tempi della guerra Cristero. In Messico fu promossa anche l'ascesa di una setta chiamata La Luz del Mundo. Il Partito Rivoluzionario Nazionale voleva un'arma ideologica per combattere i Cristeros. Politica e potere aziendale o di partito sono un mix molto pericoloso quando compaiono leader religiosi che si sentono onnipotenti e intoccabili. Si annoiano, si sentono autorizzati a tutto, i genitori delle loro vittime li considerano dei santi, cosa potrebbe andare storto? In Messico, la pedofilia clericale non è stata solo un ostacolo all'impunità, è stato un magnifico affare che ha permesso ai suoi partner di impadronirsi di tutto, da un canale televisivo statale al governatorato di uno stato. Questo libro non è solo un resoconto di grande incoraggiamento, è un richiamo all'attenzione affinché i nostri ragazzi e le nostre ragazze non commettano nuovamente questi crimini che li segneranno per il resto della loro vita.
