Vatican City.- Dominican Republic and the Vatican will hold sessions of analysis on the different socio-cultural issues in Latin America and the Caribbean, through an initiative of the Pontifical Council for Culture, with the support if public and private organizations.

President Leonel Fernandez and Vatican Pontifical Council for Culture president Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi announced the agreement after a Thursday morning meeting in which a work schedule was drafted.

The analyses will cover various topics to be discussed by intellectuals, academia leaders and scientists from all of Latin America, with reference to the experience of the Court of the Gentiles, a discussion between believers and nonbelievers.

 Ravasi and Fernandez agreed on the need to understand "what happens in this changing, complex and uncertain world," as defined by the Dominican leader.

How about Blessing The Dominican Childern with their 4% for EDUCATION?


Half way through the year and The PURPLE NACRO Government led by Capo Lie-onel Fernandez has only given the Ministry of Education 32% of the budget allocated for this Fiscal Year. At this rate of disbursement the PLD Mafia will have only allocated 1.91% of the GDP at the end of this current fiscal cycle in violation of the Constitutional Mandate of 4%.

“Education has only been given 32% of its budget”

The other 68 percent must have gone to pay for the PURPLE Campaign's Propaganda or buying Cedulas!

-and in doing so as well blessing him for robbing DR blind ever since in power. But I suppose another hail ave maria ten times will do for another round of robbing. The cc is just another scam trying to join forces and the world is accepting it. What a disgrace.

Joseano=scanviking

Why you never asked Hipo about a 4% in education when he was a President?
Why you did never mention that Hipo got from 2.4% of national budget to 1 % in education?

Somehow we've being blessed by having a smart president in D.R. , that created better conditions for dominicans and promoted foreign investment and a lot of infrastructure job for general population..

Thanks God..

This is a quote from a trusted source:
"
Pope's money
. Vatican bank is struggling to clear itself.


The Bank has been run in a kind of lawless vacuum, and has been a useful instrument to earn more money than you can hope to get through The collection. The Vatican bank accused of laundering Mafia money, and it has functioned as a tool for bribes by corrupt politicians and corporations. According to some descriptions, the Bank has in practice been one of the main centers of economic crime in Italy after the war. Everything has been done for the sake of a larger and seemingly more important good: the Church's influence in the world. If one is to believe dissidents within, the Bank has stepped beyond all bounds. "I have seen cases in the Vatican that scares me," said the man who until recently was head of Vatican bank.

Officially, he lost his job in June because he was too small to present. Unofficially, he lost it because he was too efficient in their efforts to rip up the Vatican banks bad habits. Ex-bank manager himself has suggested that the Vatican Secretary of State, The mighty Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, is among those who have worked to prevent efforts to reform the financial industry."

You all know what kind of blessing there is when LF and this organisation comes together. The cc wants LF to maintain or improve the cc's influence in DR and the rest of LA, and hence he is of course in for his cut.

Vaticano laundering money from the mafia?

OMG, joseano just watch the davincis Code and the Godfather.. and now he is a "expert" in Vaticanos' issue..
My Gosh, maybe he should replace the pope with all his "knowledge"...

People with this psychosis of Joseano, ( pathological liars) genuinely believes that fictitious events have taken place, regardless that these events are fantasies.

Pathological lying of Joseano is considered a mental illness, because it takes over rational judgement and progresses into the fantasy world and back..

I honestly feel sorry for him..
