Serbia gay pride march attacked with bombs, stones
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: About 1,000 people marched, protected by nearly 5,000 officers
- Interior ministry: About 40 police officers were injured, and about 60 people were arrested
- A gay pride march came under attack in Belgrade in 2001
(CNN) -- Petrol bombs and stones were thrown at police protecting a gay pride march Sunday in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, an interior ministry representative told CNN.
About 40 police officers were injured, and about 60 people were arrested, the ministry's Suzana Vasiljevic told CNN. None of the marchers were injured.
Interior Minister Ivica Dacic had urged people to allow the march to go ahead without incident, Serbia's Tanjug news agency reported Saturday.
"It is very important that the event, which might be disagreeable to most of Serbia's citizens, goes by without incidents," Dacic said in Belgrade.
A gay pride march in 2001 -- thought to be the country's first -- was attacked, resulting in some injuries.
Last year's march was canceled due to security concerns after a wave of anti-gay graffiti appeared before the event, news reports at the time said.
About 1,000 people participated in this year's march, guarded by close to 5,000 police officers, Vasiljevic said.
A number of streets were closed for the event, and international diplomats were scheduled to observe it, according to the interior ministry.
CNN's Bharati Naik contributed to this report.Read more at edition.cnn.com

There's a law that bars federal employees from running for office? - CSMonitor.com
That’s right. Almost all civilian employees in the executive branch of the US government are covered by a 1939 law quaintly titled the Act to Prevent Pernicious Politics. This statute makes it illegal for bureaucrats to serve as political candidates, host political fundraisers, and even wear political buttons and T-shirts while on recognizable duty for Uncle Sam.
You might have heard this law referred to by its common name: the Hatch Act. Its main author was Sen. Carl Hatch of New Mexico, a reform-minded Democrat who was disturbed by the way a few federal New Deal jobs officials used their positions to influence votes and solicit campaign cash.

Progress between Orthodox and Catholic churches may be an illusion | Holy Post | National Post
In 2007, it should be noted, the Vatican affirmed that Christ established only one Church and that this “one” Church subsists in the Catholic Church.

Holy See routinely ignored the UN’s edict that one sovereign state should not interfere with the internal affairs
Holy See (the identity assumed by the Vatican when it is engaged in diplomatic activities) routinely ignored the UN’s edict that one sovereign state should not interfere with the internal affairs of another.
One of the OSCE’s three main purposes is the protection of human rights, and Mr Pollock reminded the conference that the Vatican routinely shielded, and abetted the escape from justice of, child abuse criminals.

European Humanists put Holy See on the spot at human rights conference
The President of the European Humanist Federation (to which the NSS is affiliated) has launched a blistering attack on the “undiplomatic behaviour” of the Holy See at a conference of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
David Pollock told the OSCE — the world’s largest security organisation with 55 participating states and over a hundred NGOs — that the Holy See (the identity assumed by the Vatican when it is engaged in diplomatic activities) routinely ignored the UN’s edict that one sovereign state should not interfere with the internal affairs of another.
One of the OSCE’s three main purposes is the protection of human rights, and Mr Pollock reminded the conference that the Vatican routinely shielded, and abetted the escape from justice of, child abuse criminals. Read the full speech and accompanying paper.
Also present at the conference was Vera Pegna who spoke for the Italian Union of Atheists, Agnostics and Rationalists. She, too, was highly critical of the Vatican’s inordinate influence on Italian politics and its threats to the secular constitution of the country. She spoke of the pope’s attacks on “aggressive secularism” and said: “The Pope’s idea of ‘aggression’ is daring to argue for a different opinion from his.”
The representative of the Holy See, Mgr Anthony Frontiero, exercised his right of reply, in which he attacked those who were critical of the Holy See saying that it had a long history of diplomatic relations with other states and therefore no-one had the right to question its participation in the conference. He said that the Vatican was one of the most “ardent defenders” of human rights around the globe.
Msgr Frontiera then deflected EHF’s criticism by the usual tactic of making the Catholic Church into the victim, stating that any questioning of the Holy See’s activities was somehow an attack on the individual’s right to manifest their religion. He said it was secularists’ purpose to “expunge religion from society and cleanse the culture of any religious sentiment or belief whatsoever.”
Naturally, he made no reference to clerical child abuse or the interference by the Holy See in the legislative processes of other sovereign states.
David Pollock said: “We gave out over 50 copies of Geoffrey Robertson’s book, The Case of the Pope, to selected diplomats and NGOs and our side meeting on the Lautsi case (the Italian crucifix-in-Italian-schools case) was well attended.”
