Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Millionaires and local activists have joined forces across Britain to fight proposals for scores of huge incinerators that have ignited a new planning row with the Government. The building of energy from waste (EfW) plants, some capable of burning up to 90 lorry loads of rubbish a day, has set councils against each other and drawn ministers into parish conflicts. Parents and pressure groups have allied themselves to, among others, a pop star and television presenter in the fight against the incinerators, which are designed to reduce the need for landfill but have been criticised for their “devastating” presence in local environments. There are 30 EfW incinerators in the UK and 80 are believed to be planned. The skirmishes highlight the conflict between two of the Government’s key policy objectives — the move away from landfill for household and commercial waste and localism, the process of allowing decisions to be taken at the nearest point to the people affected.

For Berlin, Pius XII Was a Subversive
PARIS, MAY 14, 2002 (Zenit.org) .-Protestant pastor Francois de Beaulieu revealed to the French weekly "Reforme" the experience he endured in 1942 as a radio operator secretly spreading Pius XII´s famous Christmas radio message against Nazism.

The Unsilent Pope | First Things
Critics of Pius XII have long claimed that the Allies were bitterly frustrated by the pontiff’s official neutrality during World War II. Among the evidence for this they cite some of the official dispatches of Harold H. Tittmann, Jr., who from 1940 to 1946 was chief assistant to Myron Taylor, Franklin Roosevelt’s personal representative to the Vatican. In works from Saul Friedlander’s 1966 Pius XII and the Third Reich to John Cornwell’s 1999 Hitler’s Pope , the occasional criticisms expressed in Tittmann’s dispatches have been quoted against Pius.The entrance to the convent of the Santi Quattro Coronati « O urs wants only to be a small testimony about Pope Pius XII. Without any pretension, for goodness sake. Certainly, the amount of writings about the presumed indifference of the Pontiff and his “silences” about the Jews in the years of Nazi Fascism, pains us deeply.
