What's going on in Syracuse? March 4, 2014

This is a bit far afield from Dallas, but being your intrepid reporter on all things Catholic (that happen to interest me), and knowing how wrecked virtually every upstate New York diocese has been by rampantly ideological progressive dominance over the past 40 odd years, I thought the following two items relevant.
First, two Catholic churches in Syracuse are bringing in a transgendered person to talk about their confused and destructive (not to mention, appalling to God) lifestyle:
Two Syracuse Catholic Churches are hosting a series of talks on what it's like to be transgender.
The series of events highlighting what it's like to be transgender is sponsored by All Saints Catholic Church and St. Lucy's Catholic Church.
It was organized by the All Saints LGBT Task Force and volunteers from Family Allies for Trans Equality in New York State.
The next event is March 4. "Voices From The Journey: Hearing From Transgender Persons." That will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and repeated the same day from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
This is only part of the list of talks. There are day long workshops, all intended to normalize a severe perversion/mental disorder and undermine Catholic Doctrine. These conferences are invariably heavy on emotion and short on reason, and try to win support from Catholics (or, it looks like, Katholycs) for both opposition to that Doctrine and in support of insupportable immorality.
Leaving aside Church Doctrine and the offense such folks give to God (see both Old and New Testament), the life outcomes for transgender types are horrific. Even in this unceasingly "tolerant" age, where virtually every kink is approved of and given cultural support on a wide scale, trans-types have nightmarish rates of suicide, substance abuse, self-mutilation, chronic depression, etc. This lifestyle is so fundamentally disordered that to be a trans is to shorten one's lifespan, on average, by over 40 years. Some try to claim this is due to lingering cultural oppression, but please…..does this series of talks – during LENT, of all times – indicate repression?
What it does indicate is that the Diocese of Syracuse has serious, serious problems. I have to ask, where is the bishop? How can he tolerate not only these talks, but the presence of doctrine-rejecting, division-inducing groups like " LGBT Task Force and volunteers from Family Allies for Trans Equality?" We have seen in this Diocese of Dallas that these alleged homosexual support groups almost invariably depart from Church Doctrine and become advocates for radical notions of sodom/gomorrah "rights," undermining the sensus fidei of the faithful and harming the entire Body of Christ.
Reading any number of books, from Rite of Sodomy to Ungodly Rage to Goodbye, Good Men will reveal to any even remotely faithful Catholic that these pro-homosex groups are virtually unanimously irreconcilable with the Faith. And yet a group that is truly dedicated to the good of souls and aiding those with same-sex attraction to living a chaste, virtuous life are ignored and reviled, in spite of the enormous good they do.
But it's not just in the parishes. A Katholyc college within the Diocese of Syracuse is planning a "drag show," again during Lent, on campus:
Unfortunately, the "smoke of Satan" is spreading on Catholic campuses. This time Catholic Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, is planning its second annual "drag show" on March 10 in the Grewen Auditorium.
The lewd event flatly undermines moral values and is being promoted on the college's web site as a "fun event for everyone! Learn about drag culture ettiquet [sic], enter prize raffles, and dance!"
An advertisement for the event attacks human nature by displaying a human face that is a mixture of male and female. Here is the inappropriate tweet promoting the pro-homosexual show.
The "show" is promoted by a group on campus called "Creating Awareness & Reaching Equality." The same group supports same-sex "marriage" and other sins that violate Catholic moral teaching.
Naturally, this is a college in the "Jesuit" tradition. What will they do when there are no more Jesuits to have a "tradition?"
So this college can get away with promoting decadent, sinful filth, and it's scot free! But a traditional Catholic college may start to drift a bit in things traditional, and it's crush, crush them! The hypocrisy is stultifying.
I'd say Bishop Robert Cunningham has some 'splaining to do. But the entire Church in upstate New York has become diabolically disoriented under the influence of the almost certainly active homosexual, but now thankfully retired, Bishops Matthew Clark and Howard Hubbard. There were numerous instances of priest boy-rape in upstate New York. These things tend to go together: support for the homosexual agenda, and boy-rape scandals.
The Church is upstate New York, once a glorious pillar, is now a fallen down wreck. Vocations are pathetically low (by deliberate intent), parishes are closed, the percentage of Catholics in the population continues to plummet, the few remaining faithful souls are isolated and persecuted, and sin abounds.
But where sin abounds, Grace abounds the more, so let us pray for the conversion and reconstitution of the Church in upstate New York, and for the the conversion of Bishop Cunningham.

More notes on Fisher-More and comments back on March 4, 2014

I am truly sorry I had to disable comments on the two Fisher-More posts yesterday, but some tempers were getting hot and I simply cannot monitor comments in the evening/nighttime. I didn't like to do it, but I did not think I could just leave comments wide open, because I had a fair number I had to delete or edit.
I had a long conversation with some people very familiar with Fisher-More last night. It was very helpful, and I thank the kind souls for their time.
Unfortunately, much of what they told me – as so much of what I've heard before – was in confidence, so I have to be deliberately vague. I can say that this conversation only reinforced in my mind the grave situation at Fisher-More and the moral/ethical problems of the college's president. His behavior is inexplicable, a true "Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" situation.
There are some details I feel I can share. The first of these is that the present student body at Fisher-More College consists of 25 students, which correlates exactly with what I was saying yesterday. Due to sagging morale surrounding all the internal strife on campus (a campus which consists of one building where some of the administration/faculty actually live, creating almost a pressure-cooker type environment due to close and constant proximity), many students stopped assisting at Daily Mass some time ago. Some of the students don't have a particular attraction to the TLM, anyway. The situation became so grave the administration actually compelled the students to assist at some of the daily devotions and Mass.
But given that there are only 25 students, and a good number of those either have the means of assisting at Mass elsewhere, or aren't particularly interested in assisting at daily TLMs at present, the number of souls truly afflicted by this ban by Bishop Olsen is in the range of 8-12. There remains an enormous principle involved, about which more later, but I think it important to have an understanding of the scope of the matter. I think it is a tragedy and a sin against charity whenever a reasonably attended TLM is closed by a bishop/religious superior for ulterior motives, as seems to be the case here. But it needs to be recognized that the "community" affected here was truly small.
On a related note, and this is truly key, there has been no priest available to regularly offer the TLM at Fisher-More, anyways, since the Fathers of Mercy departed. There has not been a TLM for going on to near two weeks, at present. I do not know of any locally available priests who would be able/willing to offer the TLM at Fisher-More. I am unaware of any diocesan priests in Fort Worth that can offer the TLM. So, even without the ban, the TLM at Fisher-More was in a difficult situation.
But about Bishop Olson. I have received some input that suggests he might have some overall antipathy towards the TLM, based on his previous record at a local seminary. I really cannot say very much, here, and I hope you understand, but there is some evidence that his view of the TLM might be one of tolerance, at best, and certainly not one of support. We probably knew that already.
While the bishop's options were quite limited, I do fear this action could be part of an emerging paradigm to crush traditional criticism of the Council by denying the TLM to groups that engage in such criticism. Since the TLM is the heart of traditional Catholic life, removing it from an organization may prove an effective way to kill both the offending organization and the criticism itself. But there are so many factors in play, it's difficult for me to say definitively whether this particular action is part of a trend, or just a terribly unfortunate outlier.
As for the rest of what I had confirmed (for I had understood much of what was discussed already, but the conversations simply helped fill in many details) last night, it's really difficult to go into in any detail. I can say that there was a rapid and pretty severe new orientation towards a very negative view of controversial aspects of Vatican II. These are views I may have some sympathy towards, but they were expressed in particularly harsh, condemnatory, and final ways. There was also the prospect of developing a relationship with canonically irregular groups as a sort of new direction for the college.
All in all, there are a great many broken hearts. It seemed as if Fisher-More were really about to take off a couple of years ago, but that dream seems pretty remote, now. About half the student body left at the fall-spring break this year. More plan to leave. Some of these who are leaving have no other collegiate options, but they cannot continue in the unhealthy, scandalous environment present at Fisher-More. Some very long time faculty/administration have left, as well. There is constant turnover in the board. There is a great deal of anger and upset, and the whole environment of the college seems almost irretrievably poisoned.
Oh, one more thing I can confirm, Fr. Gruner was at Fisher-More, he did offer Mass, but it was apparently a private Mass. So there you go.
Again, as I said in the first post yesterday, while I have been amazed at the passion this matter involving a tiny Catholic college has aroused, this is not a hill I'm going to die on. If you feel passionately that Bishop Olson took this action simply out of hatred for the TLM, be my guest. I'm not entirely convinced of that, but who knows? It could be true.
I do plan on this being my last post on the matter, and comments will be monitored closely. It is past time to shift gears towards Lent.
More on Fisher-More – UPDATED March 3, 2014
Posted by tantamergo in Basics, Dallas Diocese, episcopate, error, foolishness, General Catholic, persecution, sadness, scandals, secularism, self-serving, shocking, the return.13 comments
Heh. Love that lede.
Anyway, Fr. Z had some important tidbits regarding the situation at Fisher-More, which has certainly been the topic de jure.
These tidbits include some comments from priests close to the situation, to which I will add comments:
A priest friend forwarded information from HIS priest friend in Dallas. Thus, I will edit a great deal and use bullet points. These things either happened or they didn't and can be verified one way or another:
- In May a prof of FMC (Fisher More College) gave a talk and denied aspects of Vatican II [To my knowledge, this has occurred more than just once. And by denied,you could take that to mean repudiated or claimed as heretical various aspects.....]
- The FSSP priests withdrew their services at FMC some time ago. [True. Issues 1 and 2 are not unrelated]
- Taylor Marshall, married with several children, resigned his job at FMC without another job. [Ditto]
- At Thanksgiving, 2013, Fr. Nicholas Gruner, the suspended Fatima Priest, said Mass at FMC. [Not sure on this, would not be surprised, not that I have a huge problem with Fr. Gruner, but he is suspended at present]
- These things took place when the Diocese of Fort Worth was vacant.
- "This is NOT about hatred for the TLM." [I think this is the key]
I think I can say with assurance that this last bit is their honest opinion. These priests saw the direction rhetoric regarding aspects of the recent Council was headed and had to terminate their relationship. I'm not sure who is offering Mass there, now, the Fathers of Mercy pulled out as well.
I had thought – but I could be wrong, because I cannot recall where I learned this – that TLMs were getting infrequent at Fisher-More due to lack of priests to offer them. Or at least that they were not as regular as before. Or maybe they got a retired priest to offer them? It would be great if a commenter could fill in on this.
The priests in question are ones you are accustomed to hearing on AudioSancto (or used to be, in one case). So, these are men who have sacrificed a great deal to bring the glorious TLM to others and who aren't exactly apologists for the revolution against the Church.
I know it looks bad. Re-reading that letter from Bishop Olson a few times……..well, I pray its tone and even parts of the content are a factor of his being a new bishop, and not reflective of how he's going to administer the Diocese of Fort Worth. It was very impolitic. It was wide-open to a very negative interpretation – which perhaps it intended to convey. It reeked of the kind of harshness progressives have loved to use against faithful Catholics.
So, it could be Olson is an "enemy" of Tradition and the Traditional Latin Mass, but I would just caution folks, again, to perhaps wait until more data becomes available before reaching that conclusion. All those – let me repeat, ALL those – I know who are truly close to the situation are saying this is not about hatred for the TLM, but about a traditional university that has gone too far into what one commenter termed "Toxic Tradition."
In practical terms, this matter will probably be moot in a matter of months, anyways. The college has been mismanaged to a degree that is almost certainly irrevocable. And as I said in the comments, there aren't more than a couple dozen on-campus students at present. Hundreds are not being affected here. That doesn't lessen the impact on these souls, nor detract from the principle involved, but we should understand this is not like the ongoing FFI situation where a vibrant, growing order was viciously crushed. I say this as one who really wanted this to be a good local alternative for my children, but it just doesn't seem possible under the present leadership.
UPDATE: I had an update, but it now appears questionable. There is a lot of confusing info out there. It is amazing how much passion there is about this college that doesn't even have 25 students.
Thanks, I'd rather send my kids to UT.
How orthodox young priests are broken, part deux March 3, 2014
Posted by tantamergo in Basics, catachesis, Dallas Diocese, disaster, episcopate, error, General Catholic, horror, persecution, priests, sadness, scandals, secularism, self-serving, sexual depravity, sickness, Society.8 comments
I related in a previous post how liturgical abuse and assignments with liberal pastor overseers are used to help break priests of their orthodoxy. But even more frighteningly, a subsequent chapter describes the use of psychological torture and even brainwashing to break the wills and intellects of orthodox young priest aspirants. Some very well known and orthodox priests even likened the seminary system in the United States – at least as it existed 10 or so years ago (it has improved, but not that much) – to the satanic Soviet system of GULAGs and general communist totalitarianism. That might seem an overstatement, but wait until you read below, and, also, consider that many of these seminary overlords are far, far leftwing. The Left has shown repeatedly that it views dissent from its religious orthodoxy as something akin to a mental disorder – we see that hear in this country, and the Soviets literally institutionalized those who opposed the nightmares of the "perfect" communist state.
From chapter 7 of Goodbye, Good men, Go see the Shrink!
Father Perry Amos [not his real name] of the Diocese of Austin put it this way: "One of the classic dynamics at the seminary was that the young, and hence in some ways immature, orthodox seminarian, hammered from all sides by a system inimical to his faith, his sexuality, and his sense of mature human behavior, would be worn down to the point of 'striking back.' If necessary, this pressure could also be increased by advisers, faculty evaluations, etc., especially when thy attempted to rearrange or force the manifestation of a candidate's conscience. Once you 'struck back' you were dead. You were 'insubordinate,' 'had problems with authority figures, or were 'rigid.' [Apparently, being "rigid" is the worst possible sin a seminarian can commit. It means being faithful to the Magisterium, and we can't have that! It will ruin our glorious proletarian revolution!] It was sobering at the time to realize how closely the dynamic paralleled the brain-washing strategies of the communist re-education camps. Even the connotations of the terms 'rigid,' 'pre-conciliar,' 'anti-community,' resonated with communist terms like 'capitalist,' bourgeois,' and 'anti-democratic.'" [I prefer the term 'running dog lackeys']
Father John Trigilio [A very orthodox priest and host of my favorite EWTN show, ever, "Web of Faith." It helped me a lot during my conversion] of the Harrisburg diocese made the same comparison: "The one book that helped me persevere through my twelve years of seminary," he said, "was Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. [I have read this masterpiece. Everyone should. It reveals to its naked core the enormous, diabolical evil that is communism. That Trigilio, a priest I respect, should make this comparison to Catholic seminaries.....it is beyond disturbing. Heaven help us. But as he goes on in his description, it is plain he is not exaggerating] His imprisonment and constant surveillance was in many ways identical to my seminary life, in which cultural revolutionaries sought to 'rehabilitate' the orthodox into becoming full-fledged party members of the new dissidence. As in the former USSR, if you opposed the 'party-line,' which in the case of the seminary was their particular brand of heterodoxy, then you wre labeled as mentally u nfit and kept under close scrutiny 'for your own safety.' The mind games, spying, and hidden agendas as well as the vast bureaucracy of the KGB was cloned in seminaries across America."
"Fellow seminarians spy on one another; blackmail, intimidation, slander, threats, and even violence are employed to protect the status quo. Quote the Pope and you are an archconservative, John Birch, KKK, neo-nazi, etc. Quote Gore Vidal and you are an intellectual Renaissance man." [There seems to be a corollary between the methods of surveillance and repression reported here, and traits commonly associated with a certain, currently very en vogue sexual deviancy. But given that so many of that kind ruled so many seminaries, that would make sense.]
"I actually saw vocations tortured and killed by those who were supposedly there to promote and foster vocations." What Trigilio witnessed, he said, can only be described as " a real persecution and systematic extermination of orthodoxy and manly piety so as to artificially create a climate for married and women clergy." [I tell you, I find the words chosen by Fr. Trigilio chilling. "Tortured," "killed," "systematic extermination." These are the kinds of words we normally see when reading about horrid evils like genocide or "ethnic cleansing." Instead, they are being applied to what has occurred to thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of hopeful, pious young Catholic men who only wanted to serve God in His Holy Church! It is unthinkable that such a state could exist! And yet I respect Fr. Trigilio a great deal, so I am inclined to accept his assessment at face value.]

Amazing. Diabolical. Two things pop to mind that I frequently come back to: one, that public heresy is invariably driven by private (or not so private) sin, and, two, that there are no limits to the depths of depravity to which one can sink when you cut God our of your life, or reject His Law and lead a life devoid of Grace. It appears both were dominant in most seminaries for decades.
Incredible stuff. What a day. More comments and views than ever, not sure how it happened! But I'm so glad to know you all love, me, you really, really love me!
I feel like Sally Field!
How orthodox young priests are broken, pt. 1 March 3, 2014
Posted by tantamergo in Basics, catachesis, Dallas Diocese, episcopate, General Catholic, persecution, priests, scandals, secularism, self-serving, sickness, Society.8 comments
I was reading some more in Goodbye, Good Men over the weekend, and I read some accounts of persecution of orthodox young men in seminaries that correlated closely to some of my own experience. In particular, it seems common to assign orthodox young priests to parishes that have more liberal pastors. According to Goodbye, Good Men, this process is widespread and starts at the beginning of seminary formation:
One priest says of his seminary days: "It seems like they wanted to break us of any 'romantic notions' we may have had of how Mass ought to be offered." And, he observed, this continues after ordination when, it seems, young orthodox priests are placed in parishes with liberal pastors who still fancy 1970s-style liturgical experimentation. [I've certainly seen that here locally. More than one - several, in fact - orthodox young priests seem to invariably wind up being assigned to the same parishes with well-earned reputations for liberalism, sometimes extreme. They rarely seem to be assigned to those parishes with reputations for orthodoxy, although it does happen occasionally. Coincidence?]
"Another sad part of the formation staff," said a former student of Mundelein seminary in Chicago, "is their constant scrutiny over how we pray. If a student bows before Communion, it is filed against him as 'an obsession with the Real Presence.' Since we don't kneel at the Consecration, [another former seminarian related that at Mundelein in the 90s, faculty prohibited the seminarians from kneeling during the Consecration or receiving the Blessed Sacrament on the tongue. That is some sick repression] anyone who chooses to kneel after Communion is observed and remembered. Outward acts of piety are usually challenged. Often, the formation faculty equates piety with rigidity, always followed by an analysis of repressed sexual problems." [Problems which in reality do not exist. But as I will show in the following post, psychological "counseling," or, in reality, mind-bending brainwashing and mental persecution, is a common form of punishment for the orthodox in seminaries, or at least used to be. I think it's still extant, just more low key now]
[Another man who was ordained for the Diocese of Pittsburgh noted]: "There are always ways to break the orthodox young man," he explained: "for instance, if he has a spiritual year or a pastoral year serving in a parish, he may well be assigned to a pastor who is very liberal and consequently abuses the Liturgy. Even if he gets ordained the process continues; he may continue to be assigned only to serve liberal pastors until he has forgotten any liturgical ideals, i.e., legitimate practices, he may have had about the Liturgy he may have originally wanted to follow."
———End Quote———-
I had actually wondered to myself for quite some time whether this phenomenon was just in my head or if it was real. I would see that various young priests seemed to wind up in very similar places, almost invariably. I tended to doubt assigning young priests was done scientifically, but I didn't know if maybe I was reading something into the situation due to my own biases. It seems that I was right all along.
This was written over 10 years ago, and I keep hearing, apocryphally, that things are "better." I pray they truly are.
Fisher-More denied ability to offer TLM March 3, 2014
Posted by tantamergo in Admin, Basics, Dallas Diocese, disaster, episcopate, error, General Catholic, Latin Mass, persecution, sadness, scandals, self-serving, SSPX.151 comments
Some commenters already brought this up in another post, but Rorate has a screaming headline concerning Fisher-More College in Ft. Worth, and some decision by the Diocese of Fort Worth to deny Fisher-More the ability to have the Traditional Latin Mass on campus.
You guys know how much I respect Rorate. But I think in this case their zeal for the TLM, and perhaps a less than full understanding of the situation, may have skewed their coverage a bit.
As commenter Skeinster noted, there are problems at Fisher-More. Problems so severe, I privately regretted having supported their fundraising drive last fall (I had heard inklings at the time I gave that support, but came to know much, much more shortly thereafter).
A lot of people who live outside Texas, and even many within the state who reside outside the Metroplex, do not know how close together Dallas and Fort Worth are. It's only about a half hour drive from downtown Dallas to downtown Fort Worth. As such, our local Traditional Latin Mass community shares a lot of people between the two cities. And, the priests of our FSSP parish provide a TLM in the Fort Worth Diocese on Sundays. Some priests from our parish have taught classes at Fisher-More.
But they have stopped doing so. In fact, many long-time faculty have left Fisher-More. This is not solely related to their financial woes. In fact, it has to do with really severe problems with the college's administration, and in particular, the college president Michael King referenced.
I know many exceedingly good traditional Catholic families who have (or, I should stress, had) children at Fisher-More. I know some folks who have taught there. I know some who are still employed there. All are unfailingly stalwart supporters of the great Tradition of our Faith and all recognize the hideous crisis now afflicting the Church. But many – most – have increasingly grave concerns regarding Fisher-More and especially the direction Michael King is taking the college. Well-known traditional Catholic academic Taylor Marshall left Fisher-More last summer over these same concerns.
These concerns center on Mr. King taking an increasingly severe stand regarding the Council and the changes that have occurred in the Church in the past 50 years. I am not privy to all the details – perhaps some of those who are could chime in – but the level of excoriation for the Church and Her leaders has reached a state that even many good, traditional Catholics are scandalized by the rhetoric. And, from what I have been told by many, no dissent from Mr. King's "direction" is tolerated. Those that voice doubts or express concerns are dismissed, virtually on the spot. This applies to both faculty and staff. As such, the college has lost many longtime faculty and administrators and even the college's founder has been sidelined. Again, I have had all this confirmed to me by numerous sources. Many students – very solid, traditional Catholic students – have left the university as it seems to be heading towards such extremism the students fear scandal if they continue their studies.
In addition, many parents feel that they are being told one story by the administration (Mr. King), but that the reality is something quite different. Many parents feel misled.
I'm not saying Bishop Olson's solution is fully appropriate or justifiable. It seems severe. And naturally, it was aimed at the TLM. If this was absolutely necessary and the ONLY way Bishop Olson thought he could solve the problems at Fisher-More, he should have explained why his action in that regard was uniquely necessary. He should also explained under what authority he, as a bishop, managed to undo a papal act liberalizing the availability of the TLM. Bishop Olson has now caused some degree of scandal among the faithful, who feel their rights trampled upon.
After Bishop Vann departed, the vicar general of Fort Worth had already restricted the TLM at Fisher-More. It could be Bishop Olson followed the recommendations of his staff, some of which probably aren't too fond of having a traditional Catholic college in their diocese. And even if this act is intended to be some charitable attempt to recall a wayward sheep, it does seem harsh and uncharitable towards students and others at Fisher-More who have come to depend upon the TLM. Fisher-More was an attempt to build a traditional Catholic college, but without the TLM either on campus or immediately available on a daily basis, it would seem one of the prime reasons for the college's existence was just wiped out. Close as Dallas and Fort Worth are, asking college students to drive 60 miles round trip every day to assist at the TLM in Irving is a bit much.
I also think it was an unfortunately clumsy statement – a truly foolhardy statement – to associate removal of the TLM with "the good of your own soul." I think folks are reading a connection there that may not be intended, but it's too easily made by this very brief, very unspecific document.
Nevertheless, there has been growing concern locally both over King's draconian style of administration and his seeming desire to make Fisher-More an informal (or formal, who knows?) appendage of the Society of St. Pius X. That may not be King's intent, but it is the impression many have. In addition, I am told that even though they managed to stay open this spring, Fisher-More's finances are a wreck and the college is living on borrowed time. These issues may seem unrelated, but they are not. In fact, they are tightly intertwined. That's all I'll say about that.
So, make up your own mind. Hopefully we'll get some more details in the comments from those close to Fisher-More.
UPDATE: I'm shutting down comments since I cannot monitor overnight. I think this has been talked about enough.

………….I know I say that a lot, but this thing in the Ukraine/Crimea has all the makings of something really ugly. I don't mean just for the poor Ukrainians, I mean something far, far broader.
Does the US/Britain have a treaty with the Ukraine to intervene militarily if Russia invades them? Apparently, such a promise was made under Clinton in 1994 in order to get Ukraine to get rid of their nukes, but it is unclear if it is a true, ratified treaty.
If it is……..yikes. Russia cannot let Ukraine go NATO, which the Ukrainians want very badly, and understandably so. With Ukraine in NATO, Russia would have an enemy on both flanks of the only part of Russia that matters – European
Russia. They would have no strategic depth, a prime Russian imperative going back 300 years. They would feel exceedingly vulnerable. A key factor that won the war for Stalin back in WWII was the Soviet Union's enormous expanse and inverse funnel effect (look at a map, entering Russia from the West, you're on an 800 mile front, by the time you get to a line from Arkangelsk to Arakan you're on a front twice as long). With the Baltics and Ukraine in NATO, Russia – one of the most paranoid countries on earth – would feel vulnerable to north-south pincers meeting at some point about 100 miles east of Nizhny Novgorod. It would almost completely eliminate Russia's geographic advantage. Even more, some of Russia's most important gas pipelines – their largest source of external revenue -pass through the Ukraine, and the Ukraine sits immediately adjacent to one of Russia's most oil-rich area, the Caucasus.
Not that I think Obama would honor any treaty that he didn't feel benefited him and his leftist cohort directly, let alone one that could bring a fight with Russia. But this guy, and his entire crew (especially frankenface Lurch Kerry) of foreign policy boneheads, could just blunder into some disaster.
That's what I worry about. Putin will probably play Obama like a violin and the poor Ukrainians made to suffer horribly yet again, but who knows what may happen with this neophyte dilettante ackjass.
This might be a real good intention for your Holy Face devotions.
God bless you!
PS – This is why I used to advocate until I was blue in the face that the US build up our current national missile defense system to at least 500 interceptors (instead, we have about 50), because Russia probably doesn't even have 500 working, deliverable nuclear warheads. Or didn't, until the last few years, Putin has managed to reconstitute the Russian strategic nuclear arsenal pretty well. Instead of fighting pointless wars overseas, we could have been building a defense at home capable of saving tens of millions of lives. Uff da……
I love Michael Voris and Christopher Ferrara and Michael Matt February 27, 2014

There seems to be some sad controversy developing between people who should be friends and allies. I decline to participate.
I love Michael Voris. I have met him personally and know of his commitment to aid souls in obtaining salvation and remedying the crisis in the Church. I firmly believe his work is of great benefit and that he is completely sincere in all his efforts.
I have never met Chris Ferrara or Michael Matt, but I also appreciate their work very much. I think Ferrara's book exposing the foundations of the United States as highly problematic and delving deeply into the heresy of liberalism/Americanism is a huge contribution to the sensus fidelium.
I had never met an SSPX priest until this past Saturday. He was a great gentleman, scholarly, and obviously well formed. I have strong feelings of thanks towards the SSPX, because without their endurance, even what some may call their obstinacy, I am convinced the great Traditional Mass would have disappeared forever. At the same time, I wish and pray their canonical situation could be regularized. I think there are some problems with their current status but those problems pale in comparison to the problems with say, the Jesuits, most Dominicans, Franciscans, etc.
It is very easy for those of us who have only known the glory of the traditional Mass and traditional practice of the Faith for a short time to cast aspersions at those who have been struggling to adhere to that practice and see it grow and spread through long decades of vicious persecution. It is easy to claim how misguided some souls are, how wicked their errors, from a very comfortable position where no suffering is required and you have all you could ever want. That's my position, and I'm incredibly blessed. I daily get contact from readers not so fortunate, who struggle with agonizing decisions as to whether risk "disobedience" or to continue to expose their children and themselves to nightmarish abuse and error, to see their children literally falling away because of what they are exposed to. It is easy to forget that some people have now been in this fight for 40 or even 50 years, when some of us have only come into it in the past 4 or 5. 50 years of combat can take a toll on a person.
I don't have any great answers for this situation. I'm sure all involved are motivated by true compassion and zeal for souls. As for me, I have no criticism to make of any personalities involved. I feel no need to assault the SSPX. I haven't seen anything from Michael Voris or Michael Matt or Christopher Ferrara that makes me say – these guys are a danger. These guys are really leading people astray. I just haven't seen it, and I follow them all pretty closely. What I see instead is almost universally works of great value, prudence, and basic goodness.
Commence fire if you like, I shall keep my powder dry, and safely locked up.
Against my better judgment, I'm going to open comments.
Federal judge throws out Texas marriage amendment February 26, 2014

Thanks to commenter skeinster for bringing this to my attention. Will we see a full-court press from the bishops to back marriage and the sanctity of the family in this state?
Yes, don't hold your breath.
A federal district court judge – mimicking rulings in three other states - has thrown out the state constitutional amendment, approved by over 3/4 of the population, defining marriage according to God's intent and Biblical edict. As I said last summer, it would not be three years until this hideous abomination will be the law of the land. I was wildly overoptimistic, it won't be 2 years:
A federal judge in San Antonio has overturned a 2005 amendment banning gay marriage. U.S. Judge Orlando Garcia joins a growing number of federal judges in states like Utah, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kentucky and, more recently, Virginia, who have declared bans on gay marriage are in violation of the United States Constitution. Currently, gay marriage is legal in 17 states.
In his official order, Garcia writes, "Today's court decision is not made in defiance of the great people of Texas or the Texas Legislature, but in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedent." You can read the ruling here.
The ruling was made after a lawsuit filed in October 2013 by Mark Phariss and Vic Holmes who, alongside another same sex couple, sued the state of Texas for the right to marry. Phariss and Holmes, who make their home in West Plano near Dallas……
The judge at least had the decency to stay his decision until the 5th circuit hears Texas' appeal, but given that the Supreme Court said, in a formal ruling, that the only reason to oppose two sodomites pretending to be married is due to prejudice, it's unlikely the appeals court will decide any differently.
A mighty retribution is coming, and it will not be pretty. Pray you and I remain faithful! Pray we don't try to flee the coming wrath! As I have said elsewhere today – and how providential were those posts! – these folks will stop at nothing to crush any and all opposition, especially that which is religiously based.
As for this country, it's done. It is culturally and morally exhausted.
I thank again "Catholic" Anthony Kennedy for making this moment possible, just as he kept abortion legal, just as he overturned anti-sodomy laws……he's been a Catholic for the ages, hasn't he?!? Yet, he remains a "Catholic in good standing" blaspheming the Holy Spirit and committing the gravest of sacrilege week in and week out when he presents for Communion. And yet bishops and cardinals continue to hand it out to him, including Cardinal Burke.
I ask again, if Kennedy is not excommunicate, why does the Church even retain laws pertaining to excommunication on the books?
Oh, yes……I remember. For those crazy right wingers who get out of line from time to time.
Silly me.
Electra, TX in blue February 26, 2014
Posted by tantamergo in abdication of duty, Basics, disaster, error, foolishness, General Catholic, horror, persecution, scandals, Society.comments closed
Electra, Texas was named after the fabulously wealthy daughter of Dan Waggoner, who started the fabled Waggoner Ranch in West Texas. Under his son, Tom, the ranch grew to rival the King Ranch in South Texas, exceeding 500,000 acres. Today, it's down to around 370,000 acres, I believe, and is either in danger of, or in the process of, being sold off by squabbling heirs. The last heir to really have control of the entire ranch was Electra Waggoner Biggs, a famous beauty and sculptor after whom the Buick Electra was named, and the Lockheed Electra, as well. She died in 2001.
Most local readers who have driven to Colorado have driven through Electra as they pass west of Wichita Falls on US 287. A year ago, a couple heading from Taos, NM back to the DFW area decided to pull over and switch drivers. A perfectly normal thing to do. Up to that point on their trip, the wife had been driving the entire way (which I will not comment on), and now the husband was going to take over for the home stretch. For some reason, Electra, TX cops decided they needed to ascertain what was going on, and then proceeded to demand ID and in general harass the man – who had not ever driven in the State of Texas on this particular day. It is questionable whether police can demand ID – in the form of name, address, etc – from someone who is not being arrested. It is incontestable they cannot demand picture ID.
I'm sure some folks will say the guy had it coming to him, and he certainly goes to great lengths to make a point, but I also believe we are witnessing the steady erosion (to the extent they even exist) of our rights in this supposed liberal society, rights which supposedly offset the immorality and general chaos we see all around us. That's the tradeoff, right? Liberal society undermines religion and tradition, and in general leads to moral decay, but the up side is we all get to be free, free, free, to do our own thing, and especially from this kind of authoritarian interference in our lives.
Uh huh.
If you feel the video is too long, you might want to just watch the last 5 minutes. It is extremely revealing, and I bet the city attorney is very uncomfortable, now, if not fired. He basically called the cops out there inbred rednecks who are as great a threat to the innocent as to anyone else. He also said rural justice is a joke, with those charged with crimes virtually inevitably convicted. And the illegal body cavity searches continue……
What do we do about this, DDLG?

Found October 22, 2012 on
Robin Lehner was not a fan of having his crease crashed Saturday night, and he chose to share those feelings by trying to fight anything on skates in a different-colored sweater.
The Binghamton Senators goalie absolutely lost it in the second period after members of the Syracuse Crunch crashed Lehner's net pretty hard, taking some liberties after the whistle.
That led to a few isolated tussles between skaters. Once the dust started to settle around the net, Lehner got to his feet and went after one of the perceived offenders. He was able to get a few shots in before he was pulled back by an official.
However, Lehner broke an unwritten rule by going after those players, which set off Riku Helenius at the other end. The Syracuse netminder then skated the length of the ice, a decision he'd soon regret.
Lehner was even more fired up upon dropping the glove and blocker to take on Helenius, pummeling with a couple of good right hands (for a goalie fight, at l...

Understanding the Joomla 2.5 User Profile Plugin's Basic Options
In our last tutorial, we showed you all of the profile fields that are available within the Joomla 2.5 User Profile Plugin. The fact that users can see and edit each of these fields is controlled within the plugin's paramters.
When you open the plugin's settings within the Joomla 2.5 admin, you'll see two headings under Basic Options:
- User profile fields for registration and administrator user forms
- User profile fields for profile edit form
Under each of these headings, you'll find the same listing of fields.
User profile fields for registration and administrator user forms | User profile fields for profile edit form |
Each field includes the following options:
- Required
- Optional
- Disabled
So what is the difference between each set of parameters?
Registration and Administrator user forms
The values for User profile fields for registration and administrator user forms control fields users may type in when initially registering for an account. For example, when we set the value for Address 2 to Disabled, this field was not presented to us when we attempted to register for a new account.
Profile edit form
The values for User profile fields for profile edit form control whether or not the user can see and edit these settings. For example, even though we have previously set Address 1 to 1234 Fake Street, when the option is set to disabled we cannot view the value or edit it within the User Profile page.
In summary, with the Basic options you can control both
- the fields users see when they are registering for a new account.
- the fields users can see / edit within their own user profile.
We value your feedback!
There is a step or detail missing from the instructions.
The information is incorrect or out-of-date.
It does not resolve the question/problem I have.

2013-11-08 9:34 am
Staff These fields are displayed just as they are input by the user. There may be a plugin out there that will translate these for you, but I have been unable to locate anything that may exist. Many developers may, however, be able to write custom code to do this for you.

The Story of O
Today one of America's most powerful religious leaders is giving up her biggest platform:
The "religious leader" thing is a joke...sort of. Winfrey does have a distinct set of spiritual views, and they're pretty clearly rooted in the American New Thought/mind cure tradition. Elements of those ideas have certainly circulated in high-profile venues before, but they've never had a forum as influential as The Oprah Winfrey Show. It's easy to mock the conspiracy theorists who throw around words like "antichrist" when they talk about Winfrey, but their anxieties are rooted in something real. For decades, millions of ordinary viewers have watched a daily TV show that presented a friendly, not-at-all-scary, positive-thinking sort of New Age spirituality as Middle American common sense, and they've responded with wild enthusiasm. When it comes to undermining conventional conservative Christianity, Oprah has done more than every New Atheist combined.
Kathryn Lofton sums up the Creed of O:
"She endorses some modes of theological existence, but dislikes many more. For her, religion implies control and oppression and the inability to catalog shop. The only way religion or religious belief works for Oprah is if it is carefully coordinated with capitalist pleasure. Thus, the turn to 'spirituality' -- the non-dogmatic dogma that encourages an ambiguous theism alongside an exuberant consumerism," Lofton said.
In Winfrey's view, Buddhism isn't about meditation and renunciation, it's about beaded bracelets and fragrant incense. "Christianity isn't about Christ's apocalyptic visions or the memorization of creeds, it's about a friendly guy named Jesus and his egalitarian message. As long as you can spend, feel good about yourself and look good, your religious belief will be tolerated on Planet O. The religion of Oprah is the incorporated faith of late-capitalist America," Lofton said.
As you might guess from that casual invocation of "late-capitalist America," Oprahism has critics on the radical left as well as the religious right.
Lofton has more on the O Way here. Kristen Gillespie looks at Oprah's impact in the Middle East here. Reason's Oprah coverage is collected here.

Last night, my mother opined that Oprah was a closet Scientologist. If you look at her guest list as the O-pocalypse approaches, (i.e Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, etc.) there is some merit to her argument.
The JREF and SGU have her and her minions listed as the greatest purveyors of woo on the planet.
never watched a show but wish her well in retirement
It's something unpredictable,
But in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life. -
lol, Oprah is so full of herself, I am surprised her head doesnt pop!
What support do you have for your assertion?
I'd say this kind of religion is relatively benign, if occasionally bordering on a bit silly; all the mainstream religions are responsible for some of worst crimes of humanity. Leftist atheism, in the form of communism and national socialism is responsible for its own share of genocides. Give me silly or give me...silly
Leftist atheism in the form of communism and national socialism are but two branches of the same religion:
worship of the state.
national socialism
Hitler was not an athiest, leftists or otherwise.
"We do not want any other god than Germany itself. It is essential to have fanatical faith and hope and love in and for Germany.
"After the early 1930s, Hitler generally followed a vegetarian diet, although he ate meat on occasion. There are reports of him disgusting his guests by giving them graphic accounts of the slaughter of animals in an effort to make them shun meat."
Any identifiable ideology that gains power is going to be "responsible" for atrocities. I put responsible in quotes because ideologies don't pull triggers or swing machetes, people do.
Don't forget that the Founding Fathers were tolerant of and/or practicers of slavery and early Americans were mostly content with both slavery and stealing land from and killing Native Americans. So libertarianism doesn't have bloodless hands either.
Oh, I know, I know. They weren't really libertarians because they didn't believe in equal rights. By that standard, Torquemada wasn't Catholic, and Stalin wasn't a communist.
Yes, but no true Scotsman!
I think of Oprah like Jesus... she seems a decent sort, but the folks who hang off their every word bug the shit outta me.
I'm curious to know if Lofton is Amish and writes her screeds with a quill pen. Judging by her note, she never busy anything or certainly nothing that would give her pleasure. I'm guessing she has one dress in her closet, which is fastened with hooks, not buttons as that would be vain.
There's this weird, and I'm guessing hypocritical, straw man of the left that if one does like to shop on occasion then somehow one is obsessed by it - it's..."capitalist pleasure"!!! What this is probably covering up for is a kind of teenage narcissistic and control freak need of some leftists to limit other people's choices because maybe they're not the same as one's own. Grow up, Lofton.
You don't have to be a leftist to find the marriage of religion and product placement to be a little tacky.
You don't think the sentiment goes beyond an annoyance with tackiness?
I give her a year before she returns.
I'll put ten buck on that, too.
You got it. She's a small-chinned Jay Leno.
The greatness of Oprah really can't be captured by a simple television show. What we truly need to do to show our awe and depth of our gratitude for her leadership in all things small and large, is a Viking send off. With boats and mead and stuff.
She does not deserve a Viking funeral. What foes has she slain? What liberties has she fought to preserve?
Has she not slain humility? Self-poverty? Slender thighs? The concept that you can't be too narcissistic?
She fights for all ego-maniacs everywhere to have their petty, meaningless, valueless thoughts heard and adored by the masses!
Who's going to tell us how to feel, what to believe, what book we need to buy, who to cheer for, and whose going to pick and advise our next president? We need another guru...NOT
If organized religion is any indication, there are large numbers of people that need to be told how to feel, what to think, and how to act. If people are going to choose between a pedophile priest, an apocalyptic southern baptist, a jihadist Muslim, or a free market Oprah, I hope they choose Oparah.
Don't forget the covetous rabbi!!!!
The good thing about atheism is its adherents are able to soberly and calmly criticize theists without using caricature, stereotypes, or hyperbole. Certainly they would never pick the worst example of a believer to represent the whole.
Good thing Ayn Rand was so well-balanced... and if you think Oprah supports anything resembling free markets you're more deluded than the wackiest Christian.

Thank you O.

Fuck you O.
Odd that that Mr. Walker sees Oprah's capitalistic awesomeness as a justifiable 'anxiety' that would lead one to call her the Antichrist.
yeah, he wouldn't dare talk about us like that. Those envirowackos have no reason to be anxious about our bidness
Difficult to type with all that straw on your keyboard?
In about 3rd or 4th grade, we had to read and review a biography of a public figure of our choosing. My shitty school's shitty library sucked and so in order to give the requisite fuck you to the man, I decided to review a biography of Oprah, as she was the most ridiculous figure I could fathom at age 9. I actually thought I might get in trouble for choosing someone so inconsequential.
It would have terrified 9 year old me to learn that several decades later, grownup type people would be writing about Oprah for serious.
How the hell long is "late capitalism" supposed to last? Marx was already claiming to be in the midst of it back in the mid-1800s.
"Late capitalism" is not a description, but rather a prescription.
Until it shows up, Tulpa. It's not capitalism's fault for running behind and being late. It's the heteronormative patriarchy which makes capitalism spend all this time getting ready to go out.
The Onion had a nice take on all of this:
Instant mashed potatoes. That's what Oprah means to me. Lenny Bruce was once asked what was the scariest goyism in the world. That was his answer. Instant mashed potatoes. Yeah, she scares me. At one time, many years ago, I was surrounded by Oprahbots who learned from her to approach self examination like you would an exercise routine. Thus, failing at both.
I thought I was going to have resort to something extreme in my mating habits like ordering a Russian bride who had never heard of Oprah because American women were seriously pissing me off with the Oprahfornification fucking their heads up. It was everywhere, like a God Empress staring back at you from the end of time.
It was frankly weird how you could be out in public and the office ladies at the next table over would be chatting up about Doctor Phil when he made appearances on her show using the exact same words, expressions and intonations you heard a month before from an entirely different set of women when he appeared on her show previously.
The Empire has ended. Oprah, b.i.h.
The religion of Oprah is the incorporated faith of late-capitalist America
It is weird to see left wing hatred of the middle class now without the standard evoking of climate-extinction-habitatdestruction-environmentalism.

text: The small town of South Pittsburg is best known for two things — the National Cornbread Festival that takes place every spring, and one of the state's top high school football programs each fall. With a population of just over 3,200, the tiny community clings to the tradition of supporting its football program each Friday night, routinely drawing more than 4,000 fans to Beene Stadium. Although South Pittsburg High School has just 243 students — one of the smallest enrollments for schools with a football program in the state — the Pirates have won 52 playoff games, including four state championships. The team has finished as a runner-up three times. Last season, the team won the Class 1A title and are again ranked No. 1, having won 27 consecutive games going into tonight's quarterfinal playoff game at Trousdale County.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Happy to have inspired you Arsheesh, I really look forward to seeing what you come up with. Maybe it's time for another traditional media challenge?
As far as gear, I just used that blue construction tape designed to not lift paint off the walls. It worked perfectly well. I've got an aversion to getting some special Gum type tape or whatever. I don't know why, maybe I'm just rebellious or maybe I think it sounds pompous to have special tape. I'll have to check out what I'm supposed to be using and see what I think after all I do love my gummy eraser.
On the dunking of the paper, is that just a quick dip or a soak for a few moments? I'm thinking, dip the paper, slap it on the surface, tape it....sounds like a mess waiting to happen. I think I'll have to Google this.

Emaar sells key hotel to Abu Dhabi company
Dubai, September 29, 2012
Dubai's Emaar Properties, the builder of the world's tallest tower, has sold one of its hotel assets to an Abu Dhabi-based real estate firm Eshraq Properties for an undisclosed amount.
Eshraq Properties said in a statement on Saturday that it has acquired Nuran Marina, a serviced hotel apartment owned by Emaar and located in the up-market Dubai Marina area.
Emaar was not immediately available for comment.
Dubai's largest developer has looked to shift away from its home market where real estate prices have slumped by more than 60 per cent in the aftermath of the debt crisis in 2009.
Emaar's chairman, Mohammed Alabbar, had denied reports in October last year that it was looking to offload its Al Manzil and Qamaradeen hotels.
The developer announced plans this month to build a new hotel in the Dubai's high-end Downtown area, its first major hotel project since the property crisis.
Eshraq, which has assets of about Dh1.5 billion ($408.2 million), listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market in September last year. It raised Dh825 million in an over-subscribed initial public offering (IPO).
Eshraq said it would carry on with its strategy to acquire other real estate projects in the country.-Reuters

This limited edition fragrance has bright notes of mandarin, red currant and raspberry.

It seems like a lot of messages on this BBS are concerned with which of the big window companies are good. I am trying to do research on replacing a sliding patio door. All that my "Googling" has come up with is that Pella has the most and best options on their products, but for a very steep price. To have an internal blind system, choice of paint color, and hardware options, $4500 will give me exactly what I am looking for in a patio door. Otherwise I get a simple system for less than $2000 from Andersen, Marvin, Weathershield, etc.
Any help on other options/experiences would be most desirable. Thanks for the help.
