Anti-Gay Scouts Group Attracts More to its Cause

The organization is fairly new and was supposed to offer alternative scouting skills, but it appears that Trail Life USA is caught unaware about the high demand for its membership. Described by its leadership as an "unapologetically biblical" alternative to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), Trail Life has reported major growth since its launch at the start of the year.

The Orlando, Florida-based group for young males, has seen large numbers of troops being chartered over the past few months and expects hundreds more by the end of the year. Current count peg the figures to around 10,000 individual members in less than 5 months.

Stop The War in Gaza

We need to put a stop to the war between the Israeli Army and the Hamas Islamist in Gaza. The tiny strip of land, of close to 2 million people living densely packed, has seen the violence inflicted on civilians.

And who among the civilians are most vulnerable and greatly affected? No doubt in most rational minds that it is the children. It doesn’t matter whether the Israelis cannot adopt a more forensic strike or identify a precise target. It is also of small concern on whether the Hamas are using civilians as human shield or not.

Trail Life Offers An Alternative To BSA

When the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced last year their decision to lift a ban on gay youth membership, everyone knew that something will crop up to challenge its supremacy.

Well, a serious contender did emerge after more than 1,200 ex-participants of the BSA, hailing from 44 states, met in Nashville in September 2013 for a two-day "national leadership conference," at which the "new scouts’" name, logo, and uniforms were selected.

Brace for Flood as Tropical Storm Nears

Everyone in the Philippines are being asked to braced for possible floods and landslides as a tropical storm continued to strengthen as it approached the country's eastern seaboard.

Tropical Storm Rammasun (local name: Glenda) was expected to intensify into a typhoon before making landfall on 15 July morning in Albay province, the government's weather bureau said.

If The Pope Can Do It, Why Not Fr. Ubach?

In this modern world of technological innovations and scientific research, only a few continue to follow strictly the Roman Catholic dogma and the Vatican is doing its best to adopt its policies according to the demands of time.

Pope Francis has delivered several speeches asking for understanding from those who were wronged by the Church in the past and tried to make the Vatican hierarchy more accessible to the masses. However, archaic Catholic priests like Fr. Romeo Ubach of the sacred Heart Chaplaincy in Eversely Child Sanitarium in Cebu are making it hard for the Pope to realize immediate results.
