		<description><![CDATA[Mr Rick Santorum is not favourite to win the American presidency &#8212; but it is not impossible.
Santorum hasn’t got as much money as the other candidates.
He does not have the blessing of the rich who own the media.

		<description><![CDATA[It is amazing that there is such a thing as Christmas.
The One whose birth is commemorated seems such an unlikely person to have dominated human history &#8212; and to have done so for so long.
This Jesus had no army.
He had no friends in high places.
At his death, the number willing to stand by him could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The governor of Wisconsin state, USA, recently made an announcement that “the Christmas Tree displayed in our state Capitol will have homemade ornaments . . . . etc.”
Horrified responses followed
“Freedom From Religion Foundation” (FFRF) called his words “rude and insensitive . . . a snub to non-Christians.”
Legal moves will possibly come next.

“The future belongs to you,” she said.
They know that.
“We will support a process of democratisation that respects the rule of law etc.,” she added.
They don’t know so much about that.

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Jeffress, a supporter of would-be Republican candidate for the US Presidency, Rick Perry, has caused a stir.
He says that opposing candidate Mitt Romney &#8212; a Mormon&#8211; is “not a Christian”.
He labels Mormonism a “cult”.
Mr Jeffress is pastor of a Baptist 10,000-member “mega church”.

Hope it is some help to somebody out there:
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, “No. Hardship is your chance to detach yourself from worldly things and draw closer to me.”
I asked God to give me patience. God said, “No. Patience is a by-product of suffering. It [...]]]></description>

Australian consumers – both domestic and industrial – don’t buy Australian-made.
Should we impose tariffs, making imported products no longer cheaper than local stuff?
The alternative is to do nothing much &#8212; just let our unemployment rate rise and continue selling off Australia’s assets until there are none left.

Two million young Catholics found their way to Madrid to hear Pope Benedict XVI.
