This article's author puts to the test the supposition that in Québécois narrative translated into Spanish, Spain acts as the entryway to the Western Hemisphere. Based on Bourdieusian sociology, she analyzes the circulation in the Spanish-speaking world of Québécois narrative published in Spain between 1990 and 2012 and distributed or co-published in the Americas. The author concludes that, particularly in the case of international publishing conglomerates, Spain acts as a barrier that impedes a second life for these translations in the hemisphere.

For the 5th Conference of CELAM it is imperative to carry on a profound reflection on the lay men and women, given the relevance that the Second Vatican Council at its time conceded them. This paper emphasizes some aspects which are unavoidable at the time of talking about a lay Church. The following aspects are then presented: understanding a discipleship which is a ferment of the common priesthood to which all are called from the baptism, working for an adult laity, responsible for new faces and new ministries that respond to an authentic construction of humanity, promoting the formation of the laity in order to assume the ecclesial corresponsibility, which includes such aspects as assuming female protagonism and accepting the public dimensions of human life (politics, economy, ecology, ecumenism).

El artículo enfoca en la presencia psicológica del padre. Se dice que la opción cristiana se valora la centralidad del matrimonio y por tanto la presencia de ambos padres. El tema de paternalidad dentro de los libros de Silvio Botero está examinado. El problemática familiar tiene sus raíces, en muchas ocasiones, en la ausencia de uno de los padres. En Colombia, la figura paterna, en gran porcentaje, se encuentra ausente. Se habla de la relevancia que tiene la figura paterna en el crecimiento de los hijos.

The reality of marriage is a complex one and at the same time it has to assume other external factors such as context, family of provenance, crises, etc. As a consequence, to live as a couple needs great amounts of maturity, patience and love. However, the reflexion that this paper intends to institute is precisely how this anthropological unity finds in the sacramental dimension a way of salvation as much for its members as for the whole family. The sacrament has its roots in deep human reality and from there one can comprehend its transcendent horizon. What is being celebrated is life, a life which gains its profound sense when there is faith in Jesus Christ, which makes it possible that a relation of two persons becomes a sign of Trinitarian love in the midst of a community.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rarely associated with obesity, as malabsorption is a common feature of these diseases (1). However, some patients may experience morbid obesity and associated complications refractory to dietary treatment and benefit from bariatric surgery. It has even been postulated that surgery may result in improvement of IBD by reducing inflammatory markers (2). However, patients may experience a higher incidence of complications following surgery in the context of immunosuppressive therapy and prior malabsorption. Therefore, if surgery is performed, careful patient selection and individualization of technique are essential. We present a patient diagnosed with ulcerative colitis who presented severe protein malnutrition after bariatric surgery type bilio-pancreatic diversion and review the available literature.
