15 States Combined for over 100,000 Asbestos Deaths over the Last 15 Years
Posted on November 12, 2018 July 1, 2019 by Sokolove Law Team
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used for a variety of purposes before it was discovered that exposure could lead to asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. After the discovery of the dangers, profit-oriented businesses continued to use the material and downplayed the risks.
The damage has been colossal.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 125 million people have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace.
In America, some important regulations have been put in place, but asbestos is still not banned – in fact, asbestos imports are increasing. People continue to get sick from this carcinogenic mineral, and that is likely to continue, even if asbestos were banned world-wide tomorrow. This is because mesothelioma has an average latency period of 20-50 years from asbestos-exposure and the first symptoms of illness.
In an effort to consolidate information and to raise awareness, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released an interactive map which charts, state-by-state and county-by-county, the number of victims asbestos has claimed over the last 15 years. The following is a list of the 15 states that have the highest number of asbestos deaths.
15. Minnesota
Deaths: 4,852
Three highly-populated counties surrounding Minneapolis accounted for many of the deaths in the state, but one city doesn't explain the numbers entirely. Mining is a big business in Minnesota, which is a leading supplier of iron ore for the rest of America. St. Louis and Carlton counties saw a high number of deaths, and this is likely because they are part of the Iron Range. This range contains valuable ores, but it is also rich with naturally occurring asbestos, which miners may be exposed to.
North Carolina has a number of coastal cities with heavy industry, shipbuilding, and power plants likely contributing to this high number. The state is home to a number of talc mines. Talc, the softest mineral on earth, has a number of commercial and cosmetic uses. Unfortunately, talc and asbestos often occur together in geological formations. This puts miners at serious risk as they disturb asbestos fibers getting at the nearby talc. Additionally, talcum powder made with asbestos-contaminated talc has been linked to the development of ovarian cancer.
There is a high number of asbestos-related deaths in the populous counties surrounding Milwaukee, Wisconsin's largest city. Brown County, the home of Green Bay, also has a high number of deaths, but urban industry is not totally to blame in Wisconsin. Looking at the death-rate (Asbestos-Related Death Rate Per 100,000 People), the numbers suggest that there is an abnormally high rate of asbestos deaths in the northern counties of the state. Although there are not as many deaths, the rate at which people are dying in these counties is cause for concern. The Iron Range stretches east from Minnesota, through Wisconsin, and in to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It may not be the whole story, but getting miners better protections and treatment is something that should have occurred a long time ago.
12. Massachusetts
For a small state in terms of territory, a number of factors contribute to Massachusetts being so high on this list. Massachusetts has always been famed for its shipbuilders, and asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding for most of the 20th century. Workers in this industry are at a tremendous risk. Naval shipyards in Boston and nearby Kittery, Maine might help explain these numbers, as Navy veterans face a high risk of asbestos exposure. Asbestos was also widely used in buildings in Massachusetts, and its removal has caused a fresh wave of exposures.
11. Virginia
A coastal state like Massachusetts, Virginia is also the home of many shipbuilders who worked closely with deadly asbestos fibers. Understandably, many of the asbestos-related deaths are in the counties on Chesapeake Bay, but mining in the Appalachian Mountains has also contributed to asbestos exposure. One of the most sinister aspects to mesothelioma is that a person does not need to work directly with asbestos to develop the disease. Sadly, many workers unknowingly carried asbestos fibers on their clothing from the workplace into their house. The number of people exposed to asbestos in this way is hard to measure, but in a landmark ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that companies do bear responsibility for non-employees who are exposed to asbestos-covered clothing.
10. Washington
Families all over Washington state have been harmed by asbestos. The populous counties that surround Puget Sound have been the hardest hit. This includes cities like Seattle, Kent, Tacoma, and Bremerton, home of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Because the Navy used asbestos in virtually every ship built before 1983, Navy veterans have an increased risk of asbestos exposure. Washington state is also home to oil refineries and aluminum plants, both industries that have seen workers die from asbestos exposure. Further inland, the state's lucrative timber industry used asbestos products and materials in paper mills for years.
9. Michigan
Michigan, once the automotive manufacturing capital of the world, will likely have new cases of mesothelioma for years to come. Because of its durability and heat-resistance, asbestos was used in brake-pads and other automotive parts that would be subject to wear and heat. In the 3 counties surrounding Detroit – the famous Motor City – there have been over 2,400 asbestos-related deaths in the last 15 years. In the upper peninsula, there are 4 counties with a higher death rate than those outside Detroit, likely connected to mining operations in the Iron Range.
8. New Jersey
Every county in New Jersey had over 100 asbestos-related deaths in the last 15 years. Situated on the ocean between Philadelphia and New York City, the state has long been a manufacturing hub for the east coast. Asbestos used to be a big industry in New Jersey, and it has left its mark. The town of Manville, in Somerset County, is named for the Johns-Manville Corporation, a former world-leader in the production of asbestos. The company knew about the dangers of asbestos exposure and did not tell their workers, many of whom were killed by it. It's been decades since the plant in Manville closed down, but the state continues to pay the price.
7. Illinois
The first "Rust Belt" state on this list, the deaths from asbestos in Illinois are concentrated in Chicago and its surrounding cities, but the overall damage is wide-spread. Counties around cities like Peoria, Springfield, and those bordering St. Louis, Missouri also saw hundreds of deaths. Asbestos was used in school buildings throughout the state, and there are also oil refineries and power plants which used asbestos in their machinery. On the shore of Waukegan, a city just north of Chicago, lies the site of another Johns-Manville plant. It is 150 acres of land poisoned by asbestos. It's being addressed by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund Cleanup Program, but it will be a long time before the this visible scar heals.
6. Ohio
Ohio has the most asbestos related deaths of any land-locked state. Like many of the "Rust Belt" states, manufacturing spurred the growth of Ohio's major cities, and those cities have seen the highest number of deaths. In each of these cities, manufacturers made use of asbestos in their machinery and made products using asbestos. There are 5 counties in Ohio with more than 30 asbestos-related deaths each year, and each county is home to a major city. Cuyahoga county, home of Cleveland, leads the list with over 1,200 deaths in the last 15 years.
5. Texas
Deaths: 11,905
The state of Texas hosts many industries that made use of asbestos for as long as they could. As such, workers in Texas have been exposed to asbestos on the job in oil refineries, foundries, factories, and even offshore. With a few exceptions, the Texas counties hit hardest by asbestos exposure are around the major urban areas and along the coast. Harris County, which includes Houston, has averaged well over 100 deaths a year, more than doubling the rate of any other county. This is not to say that counties containing other major cities were not hit hard. Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and El Paso all had more than 20 asbestos related deaths a year.
For years, tons and tons of asbestos flowed into and through New York's busy ports around New York City and on Long Island. Today, there are extremely high numbers of asbestos-related deaths reported in these counties each year. But it is not just the Atlantic shore that is hit hard. Talc miners in northern New York State have developed mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. In the western part of the state, asbestos-related deaths are highest near the major cities of Rochester and Buffalo, each with over 1,000 deaths in the last 15 years. Another factor that exacerbates the situation is the extreme weather. After Hurricane Sandy, for example, rescuers and clean-up crews had to deal with the sad fact that asbestos had been used in many of the homes that were destroyed. This put first responders at immediate risk, and spread durable, cancerous asbestos across the seaboard.
Between the oil refining and shipbuilding on the coast near Philadelphia, the steel industry in Pittsburg, and the mining legacy across the state, there are only a few places in Pennsylvania that have not been hit hard by asbestos. In the Montgomery County town of Ambler, just north of Philadelphia, asbestos products were manufactured for 100 years before operations finally ceased. For much of that time, the carcinogenic effects of asbestos were not fully understood. Workers breathed in the toxic fibers and excess materials were discarded without care. In a study by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, they found that the rate of mesothelioma was 3.1 times higher for residents of Ambler than it was for residents of Pennsylvania. And remember, Pennsylvania hardly occupies a healthy spot on this list.
Industry, manufacturing, and refining in Florida's large coastal cities drive the high number of asbestos-related deaths in the state. The southeast corner which includes, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, has the highest number of deaths, but the damage is distributed across Florida. Seventeen counties throughout the state averaged more than 20 deaths per year. Another reason for the high rate of asbestos exposure is because many of the buildings in Florida were built during a development boom that coincided with the decades in which asbestos was being widely used construction materials. This poses a continued risk to homeowners and construction workers, and with hurricanes destroying homes every year throughout the state, it is impossible to know the spread of this poisonous mineral.
1. California
In California, there are only a handful of counties where asbestos does not occur naturally. In fact, serpentine, the state rock, is often rich with asbestos. Some of the largest asbestos deposits in the world are in California, and for years, earth was blasted and hauled to make way for roads and homes. Like Florida, there was a surge of construction in California during the peak-years of asbestos consumption. It was often used in building materials to make them stronger and more fire-proof, 2 essential concerns for architects in an earthquake-prone state. There are mines, power plants, and refineries along the coast. Additionally, there are several large Navy shipyards with histories of asbestos exposure. In short, asbestos is in the ground and the buildings all over California.
If you or a loved one worked in any of these counties, especially in high-risk occupations, asbestos exposure may be a real threat.

Government requests recall of the House of Commons to help workers and businesses during COVID-19 crisis
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
"Canadians are counting on all parliamentarians to work together to help them during this difficult time. Canadians are worried about their health and their jobs, and we need everyone to come together and do their part" – Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
News from the Office of Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
Posted March 22nd, 2020 on Niagara At Large
Ottawa, Ontario – The Government of Canada is taking strong and quick action to protect the health and safety of all Canadians, stabilize our economy, and help workers and businesses as COVID-19 continues to spread.
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today (this Sunday, March 22nd, 2020) announced that the Government House Leader has asked the Speaker of the House of Commons to recall the House in order to introduce urgent economic measures, as part of Canada's $82 billion response to support workers and businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The quick passage of this legislation is important to ensure Canadians have the financial support needed during this crisis.
The House is expected to meet on Tuesday, March 24, at 12 p.m. ET.
The Government of Canada recently announced wide-ranging actions that would help ensure Canadians can pay for their rent and groceries, and help businesses pay their bills and employees during this time of uncertainty. These measures would also help Indigenous communities across the country, support young people in the repayment of their student loans, and protect people experiencing homelessness or fleeing intimate partner violence.
Prime Minister wants to recall Parliament on Tuesday, March 24th, 2020 to pass multi-billion-dollar emergency assistance package.
Members of Parliament from all parties have been clear in their desire to help Canadians, workers, and businesses experiencing financial hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recalling the House will give them the opportunity to come together to debate these important measures and get Canadians the immediate support they need. We are all in this together, and the Government of Canada is ready to help every Canadian during this time.
"We have to take immediate action to address the global COVID-19 pandemic, and Canadians are counting on all parliamentarians to work together to help them during this difficult time. Canadians are worried about their health and their jobs, and we need everyone to come together and do their part. I know this is a challenging time, but we will get through this crisis." – The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
"Members of the House of Commons understand the importance of coming together quickly and effectively to the benefit of all Canadians. Recalling Parliament to support Canadians now, when they need it most, demonstrates the government's strong commitment to action." – The Hon. Pablo Rodriguez, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
In order to implement the new economic measures announced as part of its response to COVID-19, the Government of Canada must introduce legislation and seek the approval of Parliament.
According to a motion unanimously adopted on March 13, 2020, the House of Commons may be recalled during the current period of adjournment to consider measures to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as its impact on the lives of Canadians.
The Government has been in discussions with opposition House leaders and whips to minimize the number of Members of Parliament recalled, while respecting the current proportion of party representation in the House. This follows public health guidelines about social distancing.
A minimum of 20 Members of Parliament must be present in order for the House to exercise its powers, including passing legislation.
A Footnote from Niagara At Large reporter and publisher Doug Draper –
Justin Trudeau, holding one of his almost now daily news briefings in front of the Prime Minister's residence on 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa
I have felt moved in recent days to say this about our Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
I have had my doubts, concerns and criticisms of Trudeau in recent years over his handling of key issues, including climate change and his costly, counter-productive and potentially dangerous decision to spend billions of our taxdollars on purchasing a pipeline and subsidizing a tar sands industry that is going to die in this changing world anyway.
Yet, compared to that incompetent mess of a non-leader that our American neighbours now have in the White House, the leadership Canada's Prime Minister is showing through this coronavirus crisis is looking as towering as that of Winston Churchill during the Second World War-era Battle of Britain.
When history looks back at this troubling time, it may go down as Justin Trudeau's finest hour.
Now let's hope that this billions of dollars in emergency assistance the federal legislature is about to pass, goes to businesses and workers that really need it and have a stake in building the future of our country and communities – and not to multi-national corporations who shove it in the pockets of their executive boards and shareholders.
And please, no more billion-dollar subsidies to carbon-polluting tar sands operations from the last century that few, if any, financial institutions around the world are willing to shell out more dollars to in this second decade of the 21st century!

Kazakhstan Bishops Call Communion for Remarried "Alien to the Entire Tradition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith"
OnePeterFive	January 1, 2018 325 Comments
Almost exactly a year after they issued a call for prayer that the pope would uphold Catholic teaching on marriage, three bishops from Kazakhstan — Tomash Peta, Metropolitan Archbishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Jan Pawel Lenga, Archbishop-Bishop emeritus of Karaganda, and Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana — have issued a new statement, saying that any change in sacramental discipline that would allow Catholic divorcees living in new sexual unions to receive Holy Communion is "alien to the entire Tradition of the Catholic and Apostolic faith".
One year ago this month, these same bishops issued a joint statement urging the faithful to pray that Pope Francis would "confirm the unchanging praxis of the Church with regard to the truth of the indissolubility of marriage."
As 1P5 reported last January:
The statement, issued on January 18th, the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, is much more than a solicitation to storm heaven. The bishops document their concerns with "published norms" for the "application and interpretations" of Amoris Laetitia "whereby the divorced who have attempted civil marriage with a new partner, notwithstanding the sacramental bond by which they are joined to their legitimate spouse, are admitted to the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist without fulfilling the duty, established by God, of ceasing to violate the bond of their existing sacramental marriage."
The bishops assert that "Pastors of the Church who tolerate or authorize, even in individual or exceptional cases, the reception of the sacrament of the Eucharist by the divorced and so-called "remarried," without their being clothed in the 'wedding garment,'… are complicit in this way with a continual offense against the sacramental bond of marriage, the nuptial bond between Christ and the Church and the nuptial bond between Christ and the individual soul who receives his Eucharistic Body."
Making mention of particular churches that have issued pastoral guidelines for the implementation of Amoris Laetitia along such lines, the bishop say that such guidelines "contradict the universal tradition of the Catholic Church, which by means of an uninterrupted Petrine Ministry of the Sovereign Pontiffs has always been faithfully kept, without any shadow of doubt or of ambiguity, either in its doctrine or its praxis, in that which concerns the indissolubility of marriage."
Pope Francis did not, however, respond to their insistence that "only the voice of the Supreme Pastor of the Church can definitively impede a situation where in the future, the Church of our time is described with the following expression: 'all the world groaned and noticed with amazement that it has in practice accepted divorce'". Instead, he chose to add his confirmation of the permissive interpretation in the guidelines of the bishops of Buenos Aires to the official acts of the Holy See — a decision that Cardinal Coccopalmerio, President of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, said makes it a part of the pope's "authentic magisterium."
In their new statement, issued on the Feast of the Holy Family (Dec. 31), the Kazakhstani bishops do not specifically mention the recent actions of the pope, but nevertheless warn that "The admission of so-called 'divorced and remarried' faithful to Holy Communion, which is the highest expression of the unity of Christ the Spouse with His Church, means in practice a way of approving or legitimizing divorce, and in this meaning a kind of introduction of divorce in the life of the Church." Further, they say, the new norms being implemented by bishops in various parts of the world (in line with the pope's support of the Buenos Aires bishops) represent "a matter of spreading the 'plague of divorce' even in the life of the Church, when the Church, instead, because of her unconditional fidelity to the doctrine of Christ, should be a bulwark and an unmistakable sign of contradiction against the plague of divorce which is every day more rampant in civil society."
The bishops go on to explain the gravity of the shift in direction from the Vatican:
Unequivocally and without admitting any exception Our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ solemnly reaffirmed God's will regarding the absolute prohibition of divorce. An approval or legitimation of the violation of the sacredness of the marriage bond, even indirectly through the mentioned new sacramental discipline, seriously contradicts God's express will and His commandment. This practice therefore represents a substantial alteration of the two thousand-year-old sacramental discipline of the Church. Furthermore, a substantially altered discipline will eventually lead to an alteration in the corresponding doctrine.
The constant Magisterium of the Church, beginning with the teachings of the Apostles and of all the Supreme Pontiffs, has preserved and faithfully transmitted both in the doctrine (in theory) and in the sacramental discipline (in practice) in an unequivocal way, without any shadow of doubt and always in the same sense and in the same meaning (eodem sensu eademque sententia), the crystalline teaching of Christ concerning the indissolubility of marriage.
Because of its Divinely established nature, the discipline of the sacraments must never contradict the revealed word of God and the faith of the Church in the absolute indissolubility of a ratified and consummated marriage. [emphasis added]
In support of their position, the Kazakhstani bishops make ample reference to teaching and thought not just of the Second Vatican Council, but also of the conciliar and post-conciliar popes and other Vatican dicasteries, making it difficult for papal defenders to dismiss their claims as a solely traditionalist critique.
They then invoke their obligation as bishops, who have a "grave responsibility" and "duty before the faithful who await from us a public and unequivocal profession of the truth and the immutable discipline of the Church regarding the indissolubility of marriage."
"For this reason," they say, "we are not allowed to be silent."
They go on:
We affirm therefore in the spirit of St. John the Baptist, of St. John Fisher, of St. Thomas More, of Blessed Laura Vicuña and of numerous known and unknown confessors and martyrs of the indissolubility of marriage:
It is not licit (non licet) to justify, approve, or legitimize either directly or indirectly divorce and a non-conjugal stable sexual relationship through the sacramental discipline of the admission of so-called "divorced and remarried" to Holy Communion, in this case a discipline alien to the entire Tradition of the Catholic and Apostolic faith.
By making this public profession before our conscience and before God who will judge us, we are sincerely convinced that we have provided a service of charity in truth to the Church of our day and to the Supreme Pontiff, Successor of Saint Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth. [emphasis in original]
The full text of the Kazakhstani bishops' statement is below:
Profession of the Immutable Truths About Sacramental Marriage
After the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation "Amoris laetitia" (2016) various bishops issued at local, regional, and national levels applicable norms regarding the sacramental discipline of those faithful, called "divorced and remarried," who having still a living spouse to whom they are united with a valid sacramental matrimonial bond, have nevertheless begun a stable cohabitation more uxorio with a person who is not their legitimate spouse.
The aforementioned rules provide inter alia that in individual cases the persons, called "divorced and remarried," may receive the sacrament of Penance and Holy Communion, while continuing to live habitually and intentionally more uxorio with a person who is not their legitimate spouse. These pastoral norms have received approval from various hierarchical authorities. Some of these norms have received approval even from the supreme authority of the Church.
The spread of these ecclesiastically approved pastoral norms has caused a considerable and ever increasing confusion among the faithful and the clergy, a confusion that touches the central manifestations of the life of the Church, such as sacramental marriage with the family, the domestic church, and the sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist.
According to the doctrine of the Church, only the sacramental matrimonial bond constitutes a domestic church (see Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 11). The admission of so-called "divorced and remarried" faithful to Holy Communion, which is the highest expression of the unity of Christ the Spouse with His Church, means in practice a way of approving or legitimizing divorce, and in this meaning a kind of introduction of divorce in the life of the Church.
The mentioned pastoral norms are revealed in practice and in time as a means of spreading the "plague of divorce" (an expression used by the Second Vatican Council, see Gaudium et spes, 47). It is a matter of spreading the "plague of divorce" even in the life of the Church, when the Church, instead, because of her unconditional fidelity to the doctrine of Christ, should be a bulwark and an unmistakable sign of contradiction against the plague of divorce which is every day more rampant in civil society.
Because of its Divinely established nature, the discipline of the sacraments must never contradict the revealed word of God and the faith of the Church in the absolute indissolubility of a ratified and consummated marriage. "The sacraments not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they also nourish, strengthen, and express it; that is why they are called "sacraments of faith." (Second Vatican Council, Sacrosanctum Concilium, 59). "Even the supreme authority in the Church may not change the liturgy arbitrarily, but only in the obedience of faith and with religious respect for the mystery of the liturgy" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1125).
The Catholic faith by its nature excludes a formal contradiction between the faith professed on the one hand and the life and practice of the sacraments on the other. In this sense we can also understand the following affirmation of the Magisterium: "This split between the faith which many profess and their daily lives deserves to be counted among the more serious errors of our age." (Second Vatican Council, Gaudium et Spes, 43) and "Accordingly, the concrete pedagogy of the Church must always remain linked with her doctrine and never be separated from it" (John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio, 33).
In view of the vital importance that the doctrine and discipline of marriage and the Eucharist constitute, the Church is obliged to speak with the same voice. The pastoral norms regarding the indissolubility of marriage must not, therefore, be contradicted between one diocese and another, between one country and another. Since the time of the Apostles, the Church has observed this principle as St. Irenaeus of Lyons testifies: "The Church, though spread throughout the world to the ends of the earth, having received the faith from the Apostles and their disciples, preserves this preaching and this faith with care and, as if she inhabits a single house, believes in the same identical way, as if she had only one soul and only one heart, and preaches the truth of the faith, teaches it and transmits it in a unanimous voice, as if she had only one mouth"(Adversus haereses, I, 10, 2). Saint Thomas Aquinas transmits to us the same perennial principle of the life of the Church: "There is one and the same faith of the ancients and the moderns, otherwise there would not be one and the same Church" (Questiones Disputatae de Veritate, q. 14, a. 12c).
The following warning from Pope John Paul II remains current and valid: "The confusion, created in the conscience of many faithful by the differences of opinions and teachings in theology, in preaching, in catechesis, in spiritual direction, about serious and delicate questions of Christian morals, ends up by diminishing the true sense of sin almost to the point of eliminating it" (Apostolic Exhortation Reconciliatio et Paenitenia, 18).
The meaning of the following statements of the Magisterium of the Church is fully applicable to the doctrine and sacramental discipline concerning the indissolubility of a ratified and consummated marriage:
"For the Church of Christ, watchful guardian that she is, and defender of the dogmas deposited with her, never changes anything, never diminishes anything, never adds anything to them; but with all diligence she treats the ancient doctrines faithfully and wisely, which the faith of the Fathers has transmitted. She strives to investigate and explain them in such a way that the ancient dogmas of heavenly doctrine will be made evident and clear, but will retain their full, integral, and proper nature, and will grow only within their own genus — that is, within the same dogma, in the same sense and the same meaning" (Pius IX, Dogmatic Bull Ineffabilis Deus)
"With regard to the very substance of truth, the Church has before God and men the sacred duty to announce it, to teach it without any attenuation, as Christ revealed it, and there is no condition of time that can reduce the rigor of this obligation. It binds in conscience every priest who is entrusted with the care of teaching, admonishing, and guiding the faithful "(Pius XII, Discourse to parish priests and Lenten preachers, March 23, 1949).
"The Church does not historicize, does not relativize to the metamorphoses of profane culture the nature of the Church that is always equal and faithful to itself, as Christ wanted it and authentic tradition perfected it" (Paul VI, Homily from October 28, 1965).
"Now it is an outstanding manifestation of charity toward souls to omit nothing from the saving doctrine of Christ" (Paul VI, Encyclical Humanae Vitae, 29).
"Any conjugal difficulties are resolved without ever falsifying and compromising the truth" (John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio, 33).
"The Church is in no way the author or the arbiter of this norm [of the Divine moral law]. In obedience to the truth which is Christ, whose image is reflected in the nature and dignity of the human person, the Church interprets the moral norm and proposes it to all people of good will, without concealing its demands of radicalness and perfection" (John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio, 33).
"The other principle is that of truth and consistency, whereby the church does not agree to call good evil and evil good. Basing herself on these two complementary principles, the church can only invite her children who find themselves in these painful situations to approach the divine mercy by other ways, not however through the sacraments of penance and the eucharist until such time as they have attained the required dispositions" (John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Reconciliatio et Paenitentia, 34).
"The Church's firmness in defending the universal and unchanging moral norms is not demeaning at all. Its only purpose is to serve man's true freedom. Because there can be no freedom apart from or in opposition to the truth"(John Paul II, Encyclical Veritatis Splendor, 96).
"When it is a matter of the moral norms prohibiting intrinsic evil, there are no privileges or exceptions for anyone. It makes no difference whether one is the master of the world or the "poorest of the poor" on the face of the earth. Before the demands of morality we are all absolutely equal" (emphasis in original) (John Paul II, Encyclical Veritatis Splendor, 96).
"The obligation of reiterating this impossibility of admission to the Eucharist is required for genuine pastoral care and for an authentic concern for the well-being of these faithful and of the whole Church, as it indicates the conditions necessary for the fullness of that conversion to which all are always invited by the Lord" (Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Declaration on the admissibility to the Holy Communion of the divorced and remarried, 24 June 2000, n. 5).As Catholic bishops, who – according to the teaching of the Second Vatican Council – must defend the unity of faith and the common discipline of the Church, and take care that the light of the full truth should arise for all men (see Lumen Gentium, 23 ) we are forced in conscience to profess in the face of the current rampant confusion the unchanging truth and the equally immutable sacramental discipline regarding the indissolubility of marriage according to the bimillennial and unaltered teaching of the Magisterium of the Church. In this spirit we reiterate:
Sexual relationships between people who are not in the bond to one another of a valid marriage – which occurs in the case of the so-called "divorced and remarried" – are always contrary to God's will and constitute a grave offense against God.
No circumstance or finality, not even a possible imputability or diminished guilt, can make such sexual relations a positive moral reality and pleasing to God. The same applies to the other negative precepts of the Ten Commandments of God. Since "there exist acts which, per se and in themselves, independently of circumstances, are always seriously wrong by reason of their object" (John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Reconciliatio et Paenitentia, 17).
The Church does not possess the infallible charism of judging the internal state of grace of a member of the faithful (see Council of Trent, session 24, chapter 1). The non-admission to Holy Communion of the so-called "divorced and remarried" does not therefore mean a judgment on their state of grace before God, but a judgment on the visible, public, and objective character of their situation. Because of the visible nature of the sacraments and of the Church herself, the reception of the sacraments necessarily depends on the corresponding visible and objective situation of the faithful.
It is not morally licit to engage in sexual relations with a person who is not one's legitimate spouse supposedly to avoid another sin. Since the Word of God teaches us, it is not lawful "to do evil so that good may come" (Romans 3, 8).
The admission of such persons to Holy Communion may be permitted only when they with the help of God's grace and a patient and individual pastoral accompaniment make a sincere intention to cease from now on the habit of such sexual relations and to avoid scandal. It is in this way that true discernment and authentic pastoral accompaniment were always expressed in the Church.
People who have habitual non-marital sexual relations violate their indissoluble sacramental nuptial bond with their life style in relation to their legitimate spouse. For this reason they are not able to participate "in Spirit and in Truth" (see John 4, 23) at the Eucharistic wedding supper of Christ, also taking into account the words of the rite of Holy Communion: "Blessed are the guests at the wedding supper of the Lamb!" (Revelation 19, 9).
The fulfillment of God's will, revealed in His Ten Commandments and in His explicit and absolute prohibition of divorce, constitutes the true spiritual good of the people here on earth and will lead them to the true joy of love in the salvation of eternal life.
Being bishops in the pastoral office, who promote the Catholic and Apostolic faith ("cultores catholicae et apostolicae fidei", see Missale Romanum, Canon Romanus), we are aware of this grave responsibility and our duty before the faithful who await from us a public and unequivocal profession of the truth and the immutable discipline of the Church regarding the indissolubility of marriage. For this reason we are not allowed to be silent.
By making this public profession before our conscience and before God who will judge us, we are sincerely convinced that we have provided a service of charity in truth to the Church of our day and to the Supreme Pontiff, Successor of Saint Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth .

For children not attending the early session, parents drop off the children at 9.15 am, when the work of learning through play begins. Activities are numerous; both adult led and child initiated, and include lots of messy play with materials such as water, clay, cornflour gloop, painting, sand and shaving foam.
We play outside in our spacious playground in all sorts of weathers. During the morning we have a café-style snacks table where the children come and help themselves to bread, crackers, fresh fruit and vegetables and water or milk to drink. This allows them to make decisions about when to leave their play and eat.
We are very fortunate to have fantastic resources and a large space to learn in. Children can build on small and large scale, move to music, create paintings, models, role play areas, practise their writing skills numeracy knowledge and story telling.
Towards the end of the morning we collectively tidy up the resources used and then settle down for a story and some nursery rhymes and songs.
Children then move from the session to the lunch club, held in our spacious second room, where they eat their packed lunches provided by parents. Adults help with opening packets and also sit with the children and chat about the day, interests etc. The lunch club lasts for an hour and then the children go back in to the afternoon playgroup session, or go home.
The afternoon often begins with a quiet time, reflecting on what was in our packed lunch box, what we would like to do during the afternoon and then moves into a music and movement time. At the end of the session children will either go home with their parents, or will be welcomed into the late session.
Children have many opportunities to choose their own activity and adults are highly skilled in the care and education they provide for the children. We welcome children with Special Educational Needs and have staff who have specialist knowledge of many different needs. Our belief is that if a child is treated with respect, modelled the correct way of interacting with others and congratulated for achievements, then he/she will be confident to learn.


So do you think we will see more black models this season? Well, that is what social media activists are asking. Let's hope so or all hell will break loose via social media and the like. I feel like if designers don't have a diverse group of models that represent me and the dollar I spend then there is no need for me to put your clothing on my back! That may be their attitude toward the situation as well. But, on the otherhand perhaps you need to force the hand of those wanting us to support them and provide them with profits yet time and time again only send one type of model down the runway.
Bethann Hardison, is leading the charge in this media campaign that launches next month during Fashion Week. She is a former model and agent, bent on shaming the designers that don't include black models. I applaud her for bringing it to the forefront, race has always been a problem in fashion like in every industry, but you really see it smack in your face as model after model strut down the runway.


The Water Desk enhances coordination and information-sharing of activities addressing water-related issues in Namibia.
We are involved in river basin management and other components of integrated water resources management (IWRM). DRFN's role as networker and facilitator plays a particularly important role in the water sector, where vital inputs are made by institutions such as Namwater, government departments involved in water and sanitation, municipalities and local authorities, development agencies and, most importantly, people who use water and pay for it (or not, in some cases).
The DRFN helped to facilitate creation of the country's first basin management committee in the Kuiseb River Basin. By emphasizing that the water resources are shared and everyone's joint responsibility, diverse institutions and individuals agreed on a common vision for sustained use of the Kuiseb's water resources. The formal Basin Management Committee is now established and functional. A similar awareness-creation, integration and implementation process is now being rolled out in other basins, with involvement of Water Desk staff.
The Water Desk contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of ephemeral rivers and their associated groundwater reserves in southern Africa. These natural resources are vital components of Namibia's economy, the livelihoods of her people, and the natural environment.

Your cocker spaniel's long fur can tangle and mat if you don't maintain a brushing regimen.
Grooming is part of the deal when you take on a cocker spaniel. Cocker spaniels are notoriously active, and their long coats can quickly get out of control if you neglect performing regular maintenance. Grooming a squirmy, wiggly dog like a cocker spaniel can take a little more effort than grooming a less-hyper breed, but with patience and basic training you should manage to keep your dog's coat looking presentable and healthy.
Make grooming a regular part of your weekly or daily routine rather than a massive project that takes place every couple of months. By taking your cocker spaniel's short attention span into account, you'll make grooming more pleasant for everyone. A hyper dog is more likely to stand still for five to 10 minutes every couple of days to have his coat quickly brushed out than he is to behave for a half-hour or longer while you attempt to pick every dug-in briar he picked up in his coat over the past three months.
Take your dog on a long walk or to the park for vigorous play on days you are planning on grooming him. Cocker spaniels are energetic and intelligent dogs; they tend to demonstrate behavior problems if they get too little activity. Your dog's squirming when you try to work with him is probably a sign that you need to spend more time with him or enlist the services of a professional dog walker or doggie day care to occupy his mind during the day. A dog that's been active during the day is more likely to stand still when you groom him.
Put a grooming loop around your dog's neck or attach him to a professional quality grooming restraint. Keep the grooming loop or restraint attached to your dog throughout the grooming process. A properly used grooming loop or restraint on a dog who's been trained not to pull on a leash will prevent escape and minimize squirming while you are grooming.
Brush your dog's coat using a metal comb. If his fur has tangles, pick them out using your fingers while the coat is dry. Wet knots tend to be more difficult to get loose than dry knots are. Cocker spaniels have rapidly growing coats that become matted very quickly if you do not brush your dog regularly. Pay special attention to the hair on your dog's underarms, legs and paws to make sure uncomfortable tangles do not develop and cause skin irritation.
Wash your dog in a gentle dog shampoo when he gets significantly dirty or if he hasn't had a bath in a couple of months. Bathing your dog too frequently can cause poor coat condition, as it strips oils from your dog's skin and coat. Cocker spaniels are prone to skin conditions. Bathing your cocker too often can exacerbate skin issues and cause itchiness, dryness and discomfort for your dog.
If your dog is difficult to handle, enroll him in obedience school to teach him to respect your authority as well as how to hold still during grooming.
If you cannot manage to groom your dog or don't feel up to it, hire a professional to do it for you. Don't ignore it; improper grooming is bad for a dog's health.
Attempting to cut or clip a squirmy dog can be dangerous and cause harm to your dog if you are not a professional groomer. Leave haircuts to the professionals.
