is Catholic church in crisis?

The catholic church is in crisis in the recents weeks in Chile, all the scandals are not recently, about all the history of the catholic church exist a lot of troubles in this theme, is not a recently problem, in all the counties happened a same thing, scandals related to abuses always have a problem for the church, the point is how the institution confront the problem, for example how the church laws sistem provides a good punishment or defense in the respective cases.
This is a really big trouble, especially in a country with a 69.9% catholic population, all the credibility for priest and deacons, and all the institution in this moment have lost popularity because of this , for all the cases to abuses, and pedophilia. Maybe if exist other formation for the priest for example abolish the celibacy, the cases of abuses decrease in an important number.
But I think maybe exist priests are wrongly acussed, because that is a possibility,not all the priest are bad and crazy.

Films

I do not have a favourite kind of films, but I like movies about the second world war, a lot,such as :"The pianist", "Saving private ryan", "The thin red line","The Schindler's list" and "Inglorious bastards", because I think it's very interesting to know about the histoty of the world,the armed conflicts; we can see all the violence and ideals at that time for the Nazis and all the horrors endured by the Jews. We can also see as time passed by most countries got involved in that horrible conflict due to differences between the ideals.Also I like the director of the last film on my list,"Quentin Tarantino" a lot, his movies are very fun, and I like his style of direction a lot especially in this film and others, for example Kill Bill.
I also very much like the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar,I adored all his films with typical life troubles and themes about incest,homosexuality,religion, death and birth. I have seen these movies but my favoutite one is "All about my mother", movie with a incredible performances, especially an Argentinian actress.Cecilia Roth and a Spanish actress called Antonia San Juan.
I have two diferent kinds of favourite actors:first,the most handsome and second ,the best actor because of his performance in movies. In the first category my favourite one is Josh Harnett ,only because I love him in all his films for example one a great movie too Pearl Harbor, in a second category,Tom Hanks because his performance is amazing in all his movies! ,he won two Oscars for "Forrest Gump" and "Philadelphia" and four Golden Globes for his perfect performances in these movies and also in "Cast Away" another really good film and a comedy called "Big".

English class

Well this is my second time in this class because I had lot of troubles with my job and family last year.For this reason I could not come to classes. But this year I'have a real enthusiasm for learning so much more than last year because I think English is a very good tool for your social relationships with the people around the world, especially if you have an important part of your family in a country with this lenguage (this is my case).For this reason I want to learn English to communicate with all my relatives with a good vocabulay, because in a few years
maybe I'm going live to that country.
So my expectacions about this class is to learn as much English as possible and improve my vocabulary and pronunciation.

Earthquake in chile

On the 27th I woke up very early in the morning because I had to do a lot of things in my house especially cleaning, so , I spent all my day doing it because on Saturday 28th my family arrived to Santiago after a great vacationS in the south of Chile in Lonquimay.After that at three o'clock I was going to my best friend's house,because that night we had a party in her house, but first in the afternoon we went to the park, called Plaza Ñuñoa, to eat ice creem.Then we went to the supermarket for buy drinks for the party.
At 9 o`clock the people arrived, we danced a lot all the night and we had a really good party, I spent a really good time there. So... the horrible hour came! , at first I didn't feel the movement of the earth but as the earthwuake started very hard I was very scared, especially for my family , because I didn't have any idea about their condition.At that moment I only thought about them. Very quickly I went to the yard and I start to pray for the earthuake to stop but the time passed very slowly.The car alarms made a terrible noise and the buildings in the street were moving so much, I was really pretty scared in that moment, they were the most horrible minutes in my whole life .After a lot of thoughts I only thought ..."I'm going to die here in this house with a lot of strangers and without my family": this feeling is awful, I felt very sad but above all frightened.
