The Pope Get Threatened by the Mafia

The Mafia has been around for hundreds of years organizing and plotting ways to get money. They have done both incredibly horrible yet some extremely intelligent acts as well. They dont like to mess around. They get what they want, no mercy. They can be extremely violent especially when plotting an attack.

Recently Pope Francis received a threat from the Italian very recently. It has called for high security and extra protection of the pope. The reason of confliction is due to an unfairness in the Vatican Bank. The mafia does not like getting screwed over. I hope stays safe and lives a very long time!

The 'Obamacare scandal you never heard about

Throughout the history of America, people have tried to find ways to make things better for the entire community. Religion has brought forth many reasons to keep and hold people together throughout history. Even today, religion has brought hope to many people. It continues to do so even through the hardest of times. This is especially common today.

Recently, a Reverend named Timothy McDonald brought forth an entirely new perspective on Obamacare. He fears that the people who will need it most wont even receive it! This is due to state laws that will not permit it. Rev. McDonald gave hope to many people by telling them basically that through Jesus anything is possible. This has helped many people remember and see the goodness that still remains in hope.

Kid Won't Leave Pope Francis's Side!

Recently as we all know a new pope has been admitted into leadfing the church. Pope Francis had been chosen to lead which has ended up to be one of the greatest in a very short time. He brings joy to many in the world! Not just joy but hope as well!! He will continue to lead the church and the people in the right direction, i'm sure of it.

Very recently, Pope Francis gave a very important speech in the Vatican adressing many people. It was based on the celebration of the Catholic church and the family! He was on stage when an adorable young boy rushed to the stage and observed the Pope and th=ouched his Pope Garments. The kid was waved off by his pontiff but Francis never had any intention on letting him go. It was through this action that he was able to really illustrate the message he has been trying to send to us as the people of the church.

Prince George is Baptized

For a long time, religion has played a key part in British Royal lineage. It is evident through many ceremonies throughout history. Most include weddings and funerals. Sometimes even baptisms. Religion has played a vital role in their royal roles too.

Recently, the royal family gave birth to Prince George! He has had to go through a lot in the short years he has been with us. Lately, his baptism has brought many reporters together. Due to tradition, he was baptized Anglican! I hope they don't go to crazy on the baby, and I hope he has a successful life as a royal.

Oprah is wrong about Atheism!!!

Oprah has been a leading source of inspiration to many people. She has promoted this idea of gratitude and hope for many years throughout her own show. She now has her own network called OWN which has grown in popularity recently. She brings much joy to many people across the world and especially the U.S. Her great charity and attitudes towards people with less are all very inspiring.

Recently Oprah interviewed Nyad, a swimmer who swam from Cuba to Key West recently. Nyad tells Oprah she is an atheist, but she still finds joy and awe in the world. Oprah says through this joy she is finding God which stirs up a lot of discussion. You can't find God if you are not admitting it is Him. Hopefully this will be cleared up for both so she will actually know what she means.

Francis's Commemorative Medal is Misspelled!!!

Throughout the years, it has been common to find commemorative items for a multitude of popes. It allows for the people to remember and cemmemorate his innauguration. It also helps build memories on how the pope was chosen. Most importantly, it includes the experience and can take you back to the moment by just looking at the medal or item you receive. These commemorations both include how the pope needs to be celebrated, and remembered.

Recently, a cemmemoration coin for Pope Francis was mispelled by using an "L" for Jesus! Lesus has brought much discussion on problems issuing out these coin like medallions of Francis. It is apparent though that "J" is not included in the Latin language and therefore was not used. 6, 000 of these coins were pressed causing media to have some fun by blaming it on the "Lesuits" and making the phrase "what would Lesus do?" Some lucky collectors will hold some pretty valuable coins in the future making it even more commemorable than was intended!

Advertising Effects on Religion

Throughout the history of people selling things, religious ideas have added to advertisements. These have both helped increase sales and make people feeling great. If something makes you feel great you'll want more and more! Thats just the way the human mind works to a point of whiuch we cant get enough. This is why religious themes have been so poipular on the addition to a multitude of different sales items.

Recently, there has been some talk on how people are crticizing the well-known beer company, Samuel Adams. The makers will not include religion into their beer advertisements even though Samuel Adams had a huge role in the founding of our country. The company says,“Beer advertising and marketing materials should not employ religion or religious themes.” This prooves their distaste for religious advertisements and to base it on a more classical American approach. The idea of Samuel Adams has brought a lot of discussion amongst critics to question why they do not include something about religion to make the customers more satisfied.
