CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan On the second day of March, 1500, a fleet of thirteen ships, commanded by Pedro Alvarez Cabral, sailed from Lisbon to explore the Indian Ocean. On 10 August, one vessel of this fleet, commanded by Diego Dias, having been parted from the rest by stress of weather, came in sight of a point of land on the east coast of a large island. To this island the name of St. Lawrence was given, the day of its discovery being the feast day of that martyr; it is now the island of Madagascar, situated to the south-east of Africa, between 11 degrees 57 minutes 30 seconds and 25 degrees 38 minutes 55 seconds S. latittude, and between 43 degrees 10 minutes and 50 degrees 25 minutes East longitude. Many small islands of less importance are adjacent to it in the Indian Ocean and the Mozambique Channel, the principal being St. Mary, Mayotte, and Nossi-Be. The religion of the Malagasies appears to be fundamentally a kind of mixed Monotheism, under the form of a Fetishism which finds expression in numerous superstitious practices of which these people are very tenacious. Even those who have received Christian instruction and baptism retain a tendency to be guided, in the various circumstances of their lives, rather by these superstitious prescriptions than by the dictates of reason and faith. They admit the existence of the soul, but without, apparently, forming any very exact notion of it; in their conception, it is not so much a spirit made in the image of the Creator as a double of the man, only more subtile than the visible corporeal man. The Malagasy is naturally prone to lying, cupidity, and sexual immorality, which is for him so far from being a detestable vice that parents are the first to introduce their children to debauchery. This immorality and the lack of stability and fidelity in marriage are the great obstacles to the development of the family and of the

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) Heavy fighting between forces loyal to Madagascar's rival presidents has broken out in the north of this politically divided island nation, military officials said. The fighting began after military forces loyal to Marc Ravalomanana, who was sworn in as president last month, took over the town of Sambava, a stronghold of incumbent President Didier Ratsiraka, and its airport over the weekend. One soldier was killed over the weekend, although it was not immediately clear from which side, officials from Ravalomanana's government said. On Monday, Ratsiraka sent in the nation's top commando force to confront Ravalomana's troops on the outskirts of Sambava. "It's war in Sambava," said Jean Robert Gara, governor of the province of Diego Suarez, which includes Sambava. Gara, a Ratsiraka loyalist, has been accused by human rights groups of sending out militias to intimidate, beat, and torture Ravalomanana supporters.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar Police have fired teargas and stun grenades to disperse tens of thousands of protesters unhappy over the result of presidential elections in Madagascar. The crowds are demanding that opposition candidate Marc Ravalomanana be declared winner of the polls. Witnesses said the police drove a crowd estimated by residents at 30,000 from the capital's central 13 May Square on Monday. However, the demonstrators reassembled in nearby streets and continued their protest. The pro-Ravalomanana protest was the second in four days. Between 5,000 and 10,000 protesters took to the streets on Friday to accuse the government of falsifying the results and demand Ravalomanana be declared outright winner. Madagascar is expected to hold a second round of voting after provisional results showed no candidate had won an absolute majority in presidential elections held on the Indian Ocean island on December 16.
