Two generations of Mexican Catholics in San Diego will celebrate one of Mexico’s most iconic images in two very different events: La Guada-lupana, or Lady of Guadalupe.
Two events, two views of the same icon, two groups honoring to what many consider to be the Mother of God, although the figure is cause of controversy among non-Catholic Mexicans.
The Confederación Guadalupana from the Diocese of San Diego will host its 49th Guadalupana Procession and Mass on Sunday, Dec. 7th. The procession will leave San Diego City College at 11 a.m., and the mass celebrated by Bishop Gilberto Chavez will be held at Golden Hall, Downtown, at 2 p.m.

Shown official photographs of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the president said that they were the equivalent of cheap Japanese plastic toys in a bathtub. “You can’t fool us. We saw those Godzilla movies too, you know.”

Congress is poised to give a foreign mining company 2,400 acres of national forest in Arizona that is cherished ancestral homeland to Apache natives. Controversially, the measure is attached to annual legislation that funds the US Defense Department.
This week, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees quietly attached a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would mandate the handover of a large tract of Tonto National Forest to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining company Rio Tinto, which co-owns with Iran a uranium mine in Africa and which is 10-percent-owned by China.

On a velvety green patch of the French countryside, organic farmer Jean Cabaret gave a little shudder. A looming trade deal with the United States, he fears, may make his worst culinary nightmare come true: an invasion of Europe by American “Frankenfoods.”
“Hormone-boosted beef. Chlorine-washed chicken. Genetically altered vegetables. This is what they want for us,” warned Cabaret, standing before his majestic herd of free-range cows. “In France, food is about pleasure, about taste. But in the United States, they put anything in their mouths. No, this must be stopped.”
