BRUSSELS - Fifteen former high-ranking
EU officials and politicians have urged the Union not to bow to Israeli
and US requests to alter new rules on settler funding.They said in a letter, sent on Monday
(16 September) to EU foreign ministries and to EU foreign relations
chief Catherine Ashton, that Israel's claims the rules will harm peace
talks are not true.They noted that Palestinians resumed the talks, in part, because the EU rules gave them confidence."Their strict application serves to re-iterate that the EU does not
recognise and will not support settlements and other illegal facts on
the ground … which threaten to make a negotiated solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict impossible," the letter says."A delay or suspension of the guidelines ... would undermine the
negotiations by alienating the Palestinians and by reinforcing Israel’s
intransigence," it notes."It would [also] damage the EU’s credibility and erode its vital foundations as a law-based community," it adds.Signatories include four former EU foreign relations chiefs: Javier
Solana, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Hans van den Broek and Frans Andriessen.They also include Miguel Moratinos, a former Spanish foreign minister and EU special envoy on the peace process.Former Dutch and Irish leaders, Andreas Van Agt and John Bruton,
former French foreign minister, Hubert Vedrine, and former Portuguese
foreign minister, Teresa Patricio Gouveia, signed up as well.The EU in July published guidelines which force Israeli institutions
and firms to sign contracts pledging not to use EU money to fund
activity on Palestinian land.Israel has given up trying to get the rules deleted.But it says it will not join EU projects, such as the Horizon 2020
science scheme, unless the Union drafts agreements which do not force it
to acknowledge EU-and-UN-recognised borders.Talks on Horizon 2020 in Brussels last week ended without agreement.
But the European Commission said the two sides identified "options"
which might make it easier for Israel to swallow its new funding regime.This article was altered at 12.20pm Brussels time on 16 September after three more signatories joined the original 12 names

Nearly six thousand people have fled their homes on
Indonesia's Sumatra island after a huge volcanic eruption at the
weekend, officials said, as the volcano belched out more smoke Monday.Mount
Sinabung in the Karo district of North Sumatra province erupted before
dawn on Sunday, spewing rocks and red-hot ash onto nearby villages."The
number of evacuees has risen to 5,956 people," said national disaster
agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, adding they were mostly from six
villages in a three-kilometre (1.9-mile) zone around the volcano.The
head of the North Sumatra disaster agency, Asren Nasution, said they
had taken shelter in churches, mosques and government offices.An
AFP journalist at the scene said that some men who had fled ventured
back to their villages to feed livestock but later returned to
evacuation shelters.Hendra
Gunawan, a volcanologist at a local monitoring post, said the volcano
was still spewing columns of smoke Monday but the activity was lower
than the previous day.The volcano was dormant for nearly 100 years before erupting in August and September 2010, forcing about 12,000 people to flee.
Indonesia
has dozens of active volcanoes and straddles major tectonic fault lines
known as the "Ring of Fire" between the Pacific and Indian oceans.Last
month five people were killed and hundreds evacuated when a volcano on a
tiny island in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted.The country's
most active volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, killed more than 350
people in a series of violent eruptions in 2010.

Clearing weather offers relief in flood-hit Colorado

DENVER (Reuters) - Drier weather
after historic floods triggered by seven straight days of rain held out
hope for relief in Colorado, where hundreds of people were still
stranded or displaced on Monday.At least five people were
confirmed dead in the floods that hit an area nearly the size of
Delaware, wiping out roads and bridges and destroying about 1,500 homes,
according to Colorado Office of Emergency Management officials.Micki Trost, a spokeswoman for the emergency office, said the death toll
may still rise, but the number of people unaccounted for had dropped
below 1,000 on Monday because of ongoing search-and-rescue efforts.Teams of rescue workers were fanning across flood-hit portions of the state."They'll take advantage of the weather today and help out everyone they
can," Trost said. "We hope that those weather forecasts stay in our
favor."The weather began to clear overnight, and only a light
drizzle and patchy fog were left to hamper helicopter rescue missions
early on Monday, according to Byron Louis of the National Weather
Service office in Boulder.The air rescue operations are the
biggest in the United States since Hurricane Katrina devastated New
Orleans in 2005, National Guard officials said.Louis said some areas had been drenched by as much as 16 inches of rain in just three days, the average for an entire year."I've been in this office for 30-plus years, and I've never seen this type of rain, never," he said.
President Barack Obama declared the area a major disaster over the
weekend, freeing up federal funds and resources to aid state and local
governments.U.S. Army and National Guard troops have rescued
1,750 people cut off by washed-out roads in the mountain canyons of
Boulder and Larimer counties, Army spokesman Major Earl Brown said in a
statement.State officials would be unable to assess the overall
damage until rescue efforts were complete and the floodwaters receded,
said Trost, the Colorado Office of Emergency Management spokeswoman.(Editing by Tom Brown, Greg McCune and Lisa Von Ahn)
A powerful typhoon lashed Japan with torrential rain Monday,
leaving two dead as it damaged homes and flooded parts of the country's
popular tourist destination of Kyoto, where 260,000 people were ordered
sent to shelters.Typhoon Man-yi, packing wind speeds of 162 kilometres per hour Monday
night, was centred off the northern coast and heading to the northern
main island of Hokkaido, dumping more heavy rain.Trains in Tokyo and its vicinity were largely suspended and hundreds
of flights were grounded. At Tokyo's Yasukuni war shrine, a janitor was
hit by a fallen tree and seriously injured. Most transportation resumed
in the area by Monday evening.Powerful

Dozens of people were injured. Police and disaster management
officials said the body of a 72-year-old woman was dug out of the debris
of her home, which was smashed by a mudslide the night before in Shiga
prefecture, east of Kyoto. A 77-year-old woman was found dead in a
mudslide in Fukui prefecture.
The Meteorological Agency said the storm dumped an "unprecedented"
amount of rainfall in Kyoto and two neighbouring prefectures it passed
overnight, dumping as much as eight centimetres per hour. It lifted a
"special warning" for the area Monday but urged residents to stay alert.In Kyoto, where the city's major Katsura River flooded, some 260,000
people in the prefectural capital alone were told to evacuate. Hundreds
of thousands of others were also ordered to evacuate across Japan.Tourists in Kyoto were taken to safety on boats towed by rescue
workers on a flooded riverside street near the normally scenic
Arashiyama area.Water gushed into a nearby hotel, flooding the lobby and the kitchen, where it knocked down a big refrigerator.
Swallowing the town
"The water in the lobby was up to the waist. I just didn't know what
to do when I saw that," hotel manager Makoto Hasegawa told public
broadcaster NHK as he rinsed the hotel entrance with fresh water.
In the nearby town of Fukuchiyama, an aerial view showed a vast area
of muddy water swallowing the town, with houses, fields or other
structures half-submerged. The town's entire population of more than
81,000 was ordered to evacuate.The government set up an emergency task force to assess damage and
support rescue efforts, said Prime Minister's Office official Hikariko
Ono. Kyoto and Shiga prefecture asked the Defence Ministry to mobilize
relief teams.More than 100 people were injured across the country by Monday
evening, NHK said, citing its own tally. A man was missing after he went
to check fish traps in a river in Fukushima prefecture. A 41-year-old
woman and her daughter, a fifth-grader, were missing in Mie, central
Japan, apparently swept away by a swollen river.
Precautions at nuclear plant
Thousands of homes were flooded across Japan, according to NHK, and
about 80,000 houses in the region were without electricity earlier
Monday.As a preventive step, workers at the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear power plant, about 250 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, were
pumping away rainwater that was pooling around hundreds of storage tanks
containing radioactive water.Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the rainwater was being
released to the ocean and was believed to be untainted. TEPCO said it
was pumping away the water to reduce the risk of flooding and potential
tank leaks mixing with rainwater, then seeping into the soil or flowing
into the sea.The government's Nuclear Regulation Authority, however, said the
pumping and release of the rainwater into the ocean was possibly "an
event" subject to reporting under nuclear safety rules. TEPCO said the
radioactivity in the released water was within allowed discharge limits,
but duty regulators at the plant were checking.Recent acknowledgements by officials that contaminated water is leaking from the plant have triggered safety concerns.

Radiation fears push pancakes off the Korean holiday menu
By Ju-min Park-sept 16,13-yahoonews
SEOUL (Reuters) - Lee Gui-ja, a South
Korean housewife, will not be preparing traditional pollack pancakes for
Thanksgiving celebrations this week due to worries the fish may be
contaminated by radiation from Japan's leaking Fukushima nuclear
reactor.Japan has sought to reassure the international community
that the facility is under control but South Korea has banned fishery
imports from the affected region.Even though the vast majority
of frozen pollack comes to South Korea from Russian waters, sales of
fish have plunged before South Koreans mark the main annual holiday this
week.Japanese officials have been lobbying - without success - to have the ban lifted."I watched the news and will not put frozen pollack pancakes on the
table this year, although they have always been there," Lee said at a
fish market in central Seoul. "Maybe I will prepare mung bean or beef
pancakes instead."Pancakes are one of the dishes traditionally
placed on the table to honor ancestors and then shared by the family
once the ritual is complete."Sales are more than 60 percent down
and stocks are all piled up," said Park Sun-young, who sells frozen
pollack. "We keep telling people that these are not Japanese fish but
people don't believe it."Kim Heon-tae, an official at the Korea
Overseas Fisheries Association, told Reuters that 98 percent of imported
frozen pollack comes from Russian waters.Even so, Hansung
Enterprise, a South Korean fisheries company, said sales of frozen
pollack fell 42.5 percent between January and August from a year
earlier."This is the toughest time I have ever seen," said Park
as she sliced pollack that no one appeared to want. Park runs her
parents' shop, which has been in business for 20 years.Scientists have played down the risk of contamination, to no avail."Frozen pollack comes from different waters so we don't have to worry
about it at all," said Kune Suh, a nuclear engineering professor at
Seoul National University. "But public sentiment has already swung."(Additional reporting by Michelle Kim; Editing by David Chance and John O'Callaghan)

Married priests: Ratzinger makes an exception
Benedict XVI
It was Benedict XVI who opened up the possibility for
Anglo-Catholic Ordinariates to admit married men to the priesthood in
the future
Andrea Torniellivatican cityThe issue of “married priests” comes to the fore
regularly in the media and is often mixed in with topics that have no
bearing on this, such as the ordination of women priests. The subject
comes up in light of some petition presented by a group of priests or
when some important prelate slightly softens their position in an
interview.
The latest such case was when the newly appointed
Vatican Secretary of State, Archbishop Pietro Parolin - who still has a
few days to go before he gives up his role as Apostolic Nuncio to
Venezuela – answered a question put to him by El Universal
newspaper by stating: priestly celibacy “is not part of Church dogma and
the issue is open to discussion because it is an ecclesiastical
tradition” but “one cannot simply say that it belongs to the past.”“These issues do not define faith and are open to
discussion, reflection and examination. Modifications can be made, but
these must always favour unity and God’s will… God speaks to us in many
different ways. We need to pay attention to this voice which points us
towards causes and solutions, for example the clergy shortage. These
kinds of criteria (God’s will, the history of the Church) as well as the
idea of adapting the Church’s positions to modern times need to be
taken into consideration when taking decisions.”The new Secretary of State’s statements
echo what was decided at the Third Lateran Council of 1179. Fr. Filippo
Di Giacomo recalls that during this Council which took place eight
hundred years ago, the Church established that ecclesiastical celibacy
is not by nature divine but canonical. It is a tradition of the Latin
Church and as such is modifiable. “In sum, the Third Lateran Council
left the so-called “apostolic discipline”, decreed by the first seven
ecumenical councils of the undivided Church, in tact. These ecumenical
councils are the only ones recognised by both the Catholic and the
Orthodox Church. This “apostolic discipline” states that the presbyteral
ordination of married men is allowed (if they are celibate at the
moment of their priestly ordination. Even Orthodox priests can no longer
marry after they are ordained, not even if they become widowed) but
that only celibate men can be ordained priests in the Latin Church.Here it is worth pointing out that Eastern
Churches – meaning the Orthodox Churches and those in communion with
Rome – have never considered the question of allowing priests to marry
either. They have only ever discussed the possibility of admitting
already married men to the priesthood (but never to the episcopacy),
hindering men who have already been ordained from marrying. There are
married priests in the Catholic Church. The Eastern Catholic Churches
have some married priests among their clergy. When John Paul II visited
Kiev in 2001 for example, he was greeted in front of a parish by an
Eastern Rite Catholic priest who was accompanied by his wife and
children.The picture’s different in the Latin Church. Until
2009 there had been some exceptional cases in which married Anglican
priests or bishops asking to enter into communion with Rome were
re-ordained priests according to the Catholic Rite. But recent Popes and
the Synods have always stressed celibacy for the Latin clergy. it may
not be dogma but it is a principle and there are deep reasons for it.
These reasons are not only of a practical and administrative nature.
This is why the Church has always discarded the idea of solving the
problem of the clergy shortage by allowing the ordination of viri probati, that is, married men of proven faith who are qualified to administer the sacraments in clergyless communities.In his discussion with Rabbi Abraham Skorka in the book “On Heaven and Earth”,
the then cardinal Bergoglio said this is a subject which is debated in
Western Catholicism upon the request of certain organisations. Some pragmatists say we are losing Manpower. Bergoglio
said that if Western Catholicism decided to reconsider the celibacy
question, it would – in his opinion – be for cultural reasons (as in the
Eastern Churches), it would not be a universal option.“For the moment, I am in favour of maintaining
celibacy, with all its pros and cons, because we have ten centuries of
good experiences rather than failures. What happens is that the scandals
have an immediate impact. Tradition has weight and validity. Catholic
ministers chose celibacy little by little. Up until 1100, some chose it
and some did not. After, the East followed the tradition of non-celibacy
as personal choice, while the West went the opposite way. It is a
matter of discipline, not of faith. It can change. Personally, it never
crossed my mind to marry,” Bergoglio says in the book.In November 2009, Benedict XVI opened a new window
of possibility, although it was limited to Anglican communities which
had decided to enter into communion with the Catholic Church. He did so
without changing the traditional position expressed by his predecessors
and the Synods of Bishops. Ratzinger established the Anglo-Catholic
Ordinariates with the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus.
In paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Constitution, after a bit which
emphasises the celibacy rule for the future, Ratzinger wrote that the
Ordinary “may also petition the Roman Pontiff … for the admission of
married men to the order of presbyter on a case by case basis, according
to objective criteria approved by the Holy See.”The complementary norms attached to the Apostolic
Constitution and prepared by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith with the Pope’s approval, reiterate that “in consideration of
Anglican ecclesial tradition and practice, the Ordinary may present to
the Holy Father a request for the admission of married men to the
presbyterate in the Ordinariate, after a process of discernment based on
objective criteria and the needs of the Ordinariate.” This clearly
leaves open the possibility for the admission of married men in the
future too. This exception is made in light of the needs of the
Anglo-Catholic Ordinariate.Ratzinger’s Anglicanorum Coetibus was the
first and most authoritative opening to the possibility of admitting
married men in a Latin Church Rite, put down in writing in an Apostolic
Constitution. This was the first official document of its kind prepared
for a Latin community, since the days of the Council of Trent. And there
was something else that was new about it. The personal Anglo-Catholic
ordinaries the document mentions can be married priests and are equated
to bishops (in reality they are not but they can use bishops’ insignia).
As such they are full members of their respective Episcopal
Conferences.
