Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people?
By David Willey BBC News, Rome
Pope Francis, the first ever pontiff from Latin America,
has struck an unusual new tone. Now he is back at his desk in
his modest Vatican quarters, he has some important decisions
to make about the future governance of his Church. Normally
the cardinals who run the Holy See are off on their long summer
holidays at this time of year. But Pope Francis' seasons are not
the same as those of his predecessors. In the Southern
Hemisphere, where the bulk of his international flock now lives,
it is winter.
Pope Francis plans to spend the month of August
preparing for some radical changes in the future governance of
his worldwide Church. Be prepared for some big surprises. His
remarks on gay people are being seen as much less
judgemental than his predecessor's position on the issue. Pope Benedict XVI signed a document in 2005 that said men with
deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. But
Pope Francis said gay clergymen should be forgiven and their
sins forgotten.
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this
very well," Pope Francis said in a wide-ranging 80-minute long
interview with Vatican journalists."It says they should not be
marginalised because of this but that they must be integrated
into society."But he condemned what he described as lobbying
by gay people. "The problem is not having this orientation," he
said. "We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this
orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies,
Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse problem."

Is age the cause of receding gums?
By Claudia Hammond.
The phrase “long in the tooth” comes from the practice of gauging a horse’s age by the length of its teeth. Nineteenth century horse-traders were not a particularly trustworthy bunch, so a wise buyer would often check inside the animal’s mouth. If the teeth looked long it meant its gums had already receded, suggesting the potential purchase might be older than claimed. This might have served people well when it came to buying horses, but what about humans? Gingival recession, as it’s formally known, is more common amongst the elderly. A US study of almost 10,000 people found that 38% of people aged 30-39 had some degree of the condition, compared with 71% in the 50-59 age group, and 90% for those aged between 80-90. However that doesn’t mean ageing in itself is the cause. It’s a long process that can start in your teens, and one that can be triggered by various factors. In some cases, there is nothing people can do to reduce their chances of developing the condition. Some people inherit thin and fragile gums which recede more easily. Others have teeth which are overcrowded or stick out, meaning that there’s not enough jawbone to cover the root of the tooth. Dental hygiene also plays a big role. Plaque, consisting of a sticky film of bacteria, is constantly forming on our teeth. Failure to clear the build ups through brushing and flossing can lead to gum disease. If left untreated, one possible complication is the destruction of the bone around the teeth and the gum tissue in which they sit. As the tissue recedes, the root of the tooth is exposed, making it appear longer. Then there’s the way you brush your teeth. If you use a sawing action with a hard brush, there’s a danger of gradually wearing away the gum. For this reason dentists tend to advise brushing in small circles with a soft brush or using an electric toothbrush to prevent you from pressing so hard. The damage accumulates over time, causing the gums to recede imperceptibly, until one day you look in the mirror and realise you’ve changed. As this transformation can take decades, many people assume it’s a natural part of the ageing process. Research on receding gums often relies on asking people what kind of toothbrush they use, the brushing motions they use and how hard they brush. Some argue that due to a lack of controlled studies, there’s no definitive evidence that hard brushing does anything more than cause temporary abrasions, but many dentists do consider there to be a link. The condition is also more common in smokers. With so many different factors involved, controlled studies are difficult to do. Many are cross-sectional, meaning they take a snapshot in time. So if you’re looking to buy a horse it might be worth their checking their teeth, but ageing is not a direct cause of receding gums. It’s simply that the damage accumulates and becomes more obvious over time. Source: http://www.bbc.com (Adapted)

People can always prevent the development of gingival recession, once it is never possible for them to inherited sensitive gums.
