Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, December 1999 , pages 10-11
Affairs of State
The Indefatigable Handmaiden to Agreements to Agree Sometime About Something Somewhere
By Eugene Bird
She is unfazed by critics and indefatigable as a traveler to trouble spots, meeting with rebels and trying to negotiate stand-downs and temporary truces if not peace itself. Madeleine Albright has just broken the travel record set by Warren Christopher in his four years as her predecessor. She has been averaging each year the distance to the moon.
By the end of the year she will have traveled almost three-quarters of a million miles to almost a hundred countries, some of them, of course, repeat visits. Her African tour in mid-October was typical of her efforts to assert American leadership in making and keeping the peace among fractious and often unwilling partners.
But it is the people she does not choose to see and the places she has avoided in the Middle East which give the best indication of her frank commitment to engaging when there is some chance of making progress in mediation, while rarely committing either troops or U.S. prestige where prospects are bleak. This take-it-or-leave-it policy of administering advice and counsel to foreign leaders and factions could be called Handmaiden Diplomacy, based on the term she coined for herself, and which will follow her out of office.
Does it Work?
Does it work? Well, the jury may still be out in many instances, such as in the senseless and bloody Ethiopia-Eritrea border war that pits an Israeli-backed Marxist government in Eritrea against an Ethiopian regime that threw out the Israeli-backed communist Dergue regime in Ethiopia. And in Africa the Sierra Leone civil war saw her intervene by meeting with members of the RUF, the particularly brutal rebel group whose trademark is amputating arms and legs of civilians in the cities they occupy, but who cannot be dislodged and are therefore going to be a part of any settlement.
On the African tour, during which she met with John Gareng, the leader for more than a generation of the Sudan rebels, but did not meet with any representative of the government of Sudan, it was apparent that the secretary was not yet willing to avail herself of the good offices of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, who in recent years has been the most successful peacemaker in sub-Saharan Africa. But she has used regional powers, such as the new government in Nigeria, as a substitute for American intervention, giving them support in various ways depending on the circumstances, such as U.S. logistical support to the Australian-led United Nations peacemakers in East Timor.
Few Middle Eastern Trips
In the Middle East, her trips have been infrequent, and more reluctantly undertaken than those of Warren Christopher, who was willing to try to engage, even when he had little chance of success. With this secretary, one has the feeling that there is a constant re-evaluation of the odds on success or failure, and sometimes photo opportunities with little point other than U.S. domestic politics.
When a British correspondent asked why she was only seeing Christian rebel leader Gareng in Nairobi, and not representatives of the Muslim government of Sudan, her assistant secretary for African affairs, Patsy Cole, said Albright already had visited Khartoum at least once, and added, "Even if some Sudanese government representatives were in Nairobi she would not see them."
Slamming doors on governments or movements on which she has given up is also a characteristic of Secretary Albright. She has a less than affable reputation, and does not schmooze in spite of occasional flashes of humor. She is the professor on guard, informed, intelligent but not willing to concede a single point when confronted.
Schedule for the Year 2000: Her Final Year?
How will she act in the fourth and supposedly final year of her tour as secretary? Applying the handmaiden idea to the Middle East peace process, one can speculate on the following travel and activity by the secretary:
- In February or early March of 2000 she will help arrange yet another White House signing (or maybe it will be held in the neutral area of the Sinai desert again) of yet another framework agreement between two leaders, Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat, who really agree on nothing except blaming the other party when their irreconcilable differences break down the peace process.
- About the same time, perhaps earlier, she will again travel to Damascus and Tel Aviv/Jerusalem for one more try at using her handmaiden skills in getting both sides to the table over the Golan.
- There will be numerous crises in implementing the framework agreement, with the Palestinian Authority turning constantly to lame-duck President Bill Clinton and company for support and Israeli negotiators creatively interpreting the framework to their sole advantage. And although thousands of hours of telephone time by the president, secretary of state, and the peace team will be involved, the Americans mostly will contribute gimmicks to postpone discussion of tough issues such as water, refugees or Jerusalem to some future day. It has been suggested by Don Peretz, long-time refugee expert, that these irreconcilable issues will end up, as in the Egyptian-Israel peace, being referred to special commissions, which may not report back for years or decades.
The difference is that the Israelis are not living cheek-by-jowl with the Egyptians, and there never was an authentic territorial dispute with Egypt. But the Israelis and Palestinians are in daily, even hourly contact, and their fallback positions involve non-negotiable claims to identical turf, not the Sinai.
If Peretz is right, and the end point for the Clinton-Albright peace process is an agreement to postpone all the tough issues for years and possibly decades, there will be not even a semblance of peace. Even allowing for periodic opening of doors for some minor freedom of movement for the Palestinians, the "check-point mentality" of the Israeli security establishment will be so restrictive as to provoke constant outbreaks of violence over the coming decades.
Ehud Barak is more concerned with weaning his own extremist settlers to accepting even the idea of peace with a people whose existence or rights the settlers don't concede than in finding solutions to how to divide Palestine and how to separate the peoples from each other so that they can live normal lives and share Jerusalem. Barak's minor concession of perhaps removing 11 out of 40 new illegal hilltop settlements, while in the same week asking for bids on 2,600 new housing units in equally illegal existing settlements in an expansion almost beyond the dreams of Netanyahu, is typical of what can be expected while the committees meet and settle nothing. But the handmaiden has demonstrated that in her remaining year on the job she will only stand by and protest feebly that such expansions are not helpful, and that Congress ties her hands. There will be no appeals to Congress, protests to the United Nations or, heaven forbid, threats of resignation as resorted to by CIA director George Tenet when President Clinton sought to clinch the Wye River agreement by releasing spy-for-Israel Jonathan Pollard.
The U.S. and the Skyscrapers
It is a good bet that the U.S. has no policy on any of the Israel-Palestine-Syria issues and does not want to create one, especially on Jerusalem. The U.S. only hopes that some formula can be found which Yasser Arafat will accept as an interim postponement (until the next U.S. administration) of any decision.
Meanwhile, the other Ehud, hard-line Likud Mayor Ehud Olmert of Jerusalem, is battling for a grandiose new expansion of high-rise Israeli skyscrapers around the Old City that once inspired religious awe throughout the world. The new project appalls even Israeli city planners. That fits just fine with handmaiden diplomacy: Wait until there is a call for help from both sides, then serve as a handmaiden to record the destruction, not a participant.
But of course the U.S. is a participant, deeply over-committed to one side. We are at the least a co-founder and major investor in Zionism. We were first to recognize Israel (after 11 minutes of thoughtful deliberation on the consequences for incumbent President Harry Truman's 1948 re-election campaign) among the great powers and have provided Israel not only with financial resources approaching $100 billion in taxpayer money alone, but have supported it politically, at great expense to our own image for fairness.
The fix is in. Sometime early next autumn, just before the U.S. general election, there will be yet another signing ceremony between Israelis and Palestinians (unless the Syrians will oblige instead), orchestrated by President Clinton and signed in full view of the American public. It will not settle any of the three key issues of Jerusalem, water and refugees. Nor will it deal with final boundaries. Like the Oslo accords of 1993 and 1995 and the subsequent Taba, Sharm el-Sheikh and Wye River accords, it will be an agreement to agree someday about something, and for the U.S. to keep paying the bills for everyone doing the agreeing. The Israel Lobby in Washington will see to that.
The U.S. recognized Israel without specifying what was Israel: Where are its borders? That question will not be answered at all in the new "final" negotiations, and will bedevil everyone far into the next century.
In fact, nothing will change over there until something changes in U.S. domestic politics over here.
Eugene Bird, a retired foreign service officer, is president of the Council for the National Interest and diplomatic correspondent for the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.
The U.S. Congress: Shooting Its Way to Peace
According to an article in the Israeli paper Ha'aretz, Oct. 19, 1999, the American Congress has approved full funding for several joint Israeli-American military projects. The projects include:
- $5 million for the pilotless drone project, an unmanned plane meant to shoot down ballistic missiles in flight
- $44 million for a project to upgrade T-38 training planes
- $81 million for the Arrow anti-missile missile program
- $80 million for the "LITENING" navigation pods
- $25 million for Bradley Reactive Armor for armored personnel carriers
- $10 million for "Itald" decoy planes
- $10 million for the THEL laser for shooting down Katyusha missiles in flight
The administration requested $201 million to fund these Israeli defense projects, with Congress granting $255 million, $54 million over the request of the administration.
According to Ha'aretz, however, despite the generosity of the U.S. Congress, Israel now is complaining that the $5 million approved for the drone project is not enough to get the project underway.
State Has End Run by Lobby
In an end run around the usual legislative process, the extremist Zionist Organization of America and its supporters on Capitol Hill circulated five different resolutions supporting the U.S. changing the status of its official operations in Jerusalem to place all of them under the Embassy in Tel Aviv. It was a pre-emptive strike against the final status negotiations and the solemn pledge by all parties not to make any changes until those are completed.
As a matter of principle the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) reportedly refused to support, but also did not condemn, the resolutions that were backed by American supporters of the ZOA, for which even the Likud government of former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was too soft. The whole operation was, in effect, ZOA application of a "loyalty oath" for congressmen running for re-election in the year 2000 campaign: "Show that you will support Jerusalem as a city totally under Israeli sovereignty, including East Jerusalem. "
The five resolutions were reduced to three, then to two in conference between the House and Senate, and sailed through only to have the entire appropriations bill vetoed by the president because it did not contain enough money for the Department of State. (And for Israel's cash reward for implementing the Wye River agreement, or some of it.)
At press time, the Congress was going back to the drawing board and the ZOA- inspired resolutions were to be inserted into some final appropriations bill, probably an omnibus budget bill before Thankgiving.
The most contentious provision among those undermining the peace process pledge not to take steps to prejudge the final status talks discussions on Jerusalem was placement of the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem, including its East Jerusalem main consular office, under the embassy in Tel Aviv. That would be tantamount to recognition by the U.S. of East Jerusalem (including the critical Old City, containing the sites sacred to Muslims and Christians as well as to Jews) as Israeli territory, rather than as an internationally-administered area as provided in the U.N. partition plan that made possible the creation of Israel.
For fifty years the U.S. Consulate General has been independent. It has never recognized the conflicting claims of sovereignty by Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority over Jerusalem, which still await international arbitration.

Most guides do know every inch of their home lake, but their always trying to find something new.
Listen to Jim Duckworth, one of Tennessee's most recognized fishing guides, discuss how nighttime can be the ultimate for catching smallmouth bass
In this article, you can read how when having the choice of an ever widening array of lures and tactics, sometimes just getting back to the basics with a little discernment and a little "old school" thinking is not a bad idea.
Many farm ponds offer fantastic bass fishing. They are scattered from coast to coast. A big percentage are overlooked and underfished.
Tim Horton launched his boat just below the dam on Alabama's Lake Wilson. He had just been crowned the 2000 B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, and we were headed out on a photo mission to catch a few smallmouth.
For two days we struggled. From morning to evening, bass chased tiny forage all around us but wouldn't strike lures that typically work so well at Lake El Salto.
Cap'n Jack West explains what BDSing is.
Roland Martin and a host of other pro anglers explain the importance of sensitivity to feeling while fishing.
Autumn is the time of year when many bass make their annual seasonal move into tributary creeks, making them more accessible to fishermen.
Spring through fall, Echols tunes in to shad movements to stay in touch with feeding bass. He targets high spots next to creek and river channels. Here bass feed on suspended shad that roam over sloping bottoms and ledges.
In this article you can read, how angler Kelly Jordon goes back to using the short-handle rod as he did when growing up as a young boy fishing a creek near his home.

To Heaven and Back: Dr Mary Neal's Near Death Experience
I reviewed the book Dr Mary Neal wrote about her near death experience a few months ago.
She describes her experience in this video.
2013 Favs: You Belong to Me
A few weeks ago, my pastor preached a homily based on what is a simple but absolute fact of all our lives.
We will die.
You are going to die.
I am going to die.
It may be in a car wreck this afternoon as you go to the store to buy milk. It may be years from now as you sleep in your bed at 85. But you and I will die.
My pastor told us that when we die, someone will say to us, You belong to me. The question is, who will be saying this to us? Will it be Jesus, welcoming us Home. Or will it be someone else?
We are the ones who decide who will tell us You belong to me on that day. We decide, not so much by the things we say, but by what we do. Who do you serve with your life? Whose teachings do you follow?
Do you follow the troubling teachings of the Gospels as elucidated to us by the Holy Father, Pope Francis? Or do you follow the serpent who whispers in all of our ears, Take. Eat. God is a liar. You will not die?
As with all really successful lies, this one was part truth. When the serpent whispered You will not die in Eve's ear, it was true. All the serpent had to do was add one word to make it absolutely true. That word was today.
You will not die today.
Take. Eat. And you will be like God, knowing right from wrong. And you will not die today.
There are many serpents in our world today, and each one of them speaks to us in the peculiar language of our own hearts. They tell us that what we want to do is right and the Church which tells us otherwise is wrong, cruel, hard-hearted and mean to tell us it is not.
It doesn't matter if it's your sexuality, your politics, the way you treat your family or some secret sin you keep to yourself. You have your own serpent to whisper in your ear and tell you, God/the Pope/the Gospels are all liars. Do this and you will be free of those binding appeals to lying morality.
And, of course, you will not die.
But it's all a lie from the father of lies. The Gospel this Sunday talks about judgement day, when Jesus told us that one will be taken and another left behind. Many preachers concentrate their preaching about this on some final Judgement Day for all humankind that recedes in front of us like the horizon as we live our lives.
But I think that there are two judgement days and the one we need to concern ourselves with is our own personal Judgement Day that is coming at all of us faster than any of us wants to believe. On that day, someone will say to us You belong to me.
One of the primary purposes of this blog is to encourage Christians to take a stand for Jesus in a post Christian world. Since I am myself a politician, I am calling you from the depths of my experience to cast off the false gods of political claptrap and follow the Gospels of Christ without compromise.
Do not follow false teachers who are the political serpents whispering in all our ears and who edit the Gospels of Christ to serve their political masters. Do not bow down before the elephant or the donkey. Do not do it.
When we die and someone says to us, You belong to me, we are the ones who will have determined which voice we hear saying it. We are choosing now as we choose who we serve, who we follow and who we believe.
Follow Christ.
Follow His Vicar who was chosen by the Holy Spirit and who cannot teach us that which is contrary to the Gospels of Christ.
Stop trying to lead, and follow. And stop quibbling about it.
I have learned from my own disastrous failures at doing it my way and I am telling you now from the bottom of my heart: There is no other Way.
Guess What? Heaven and Hell are BOTH in Oklahoma!
Elderly Woman to Mugger: If You Kill Me, I'll Go to Heaven and You'll Go to Hell
Novena for the Persecuted Church, Day 9
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Rev 12: 17 – 18
This is the 9th and last day of our Novena to St Michael. We are praying for our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters around the world.
For this last meditation of our Novena, let's look at what it all means.
What does it mean to be Christ crucified in the world today?
It means that you are the living representation of that day long ago on Calvary when Our Lord, who was without sin, became sin itself for our sakes. It means that, just as satan poured out his rage against God onto Jesus by acting through other people, he is now pouring out his rage against Jesus on you, and he is doing it once again through his actors in this world; other people.
Demonic possession is not just the stuff of movies. It happens in real life, all the time, everyday. However, it doesn't usually manifest itself in spinning heads, flying objects and spitting pea soup.
When the devil walks in this world, he almost always does it on two feet. When he acts out his hatred and destructive desires, he almost always uses human hands and speaks with a human voice.
There is no bottom to his hatred, and there is no limit to the cruelty and depravity of his followers. Whatever bad thing they do today, they will do worse tomorrow.
Christ is crucified in the world today in places where satan's disciples are freed by circumstance to act out his hatred of Father, Son and Holy Ghost by attacking the living representation of them: Christians. There is no nation or community on this earth that is exempt from becoming satan's active disciple by virtue of their virtue or their wisdom or their knowledge.
Germany and the Soviet Union had many of the greatest scientists, most subtle and acute artists and philosophers the world has ever known. And yet they fell prey to satan's leadership. Rwandans slaughtered with clubs and machetes, but it was fealty to the same satan that drove them to do it.
Only fealty to the Risen Christ can save us from following the darkness away from the Light. The miracle is that by fealty to Christ, we not only save ourselves from falling into the darkness, we become the Light in this world.
Satan is a ravening hunger that craves annihilation. His followers, many of whom do not believe he exists, are shades of him in both those things. They hunger with a hunger for they know not what and crave annihilation with a compulsive drive. That is why everything they do turns in the end to death.
It is also why they attack and try to darken the Light of Christian witness wherever they find it.
The millions of Christians who suffer constant fear, dread of violence and the degradation of second-class citizenship in the world today are, wherever they are, the Light of Christ. When they are reviled, falsely arrested, attacked, beaten, raped, kidnapped, tortured and murdered, they become Christ before Pilate, Christ scourged, Christ mocked, reviled and hung up naked to die in front of a mocking, jeering crowd.
He Who had no sin became sin for us. He suffers again in His followers who are His living martyrs today.
If that was the end of the story, it would just be another holocaust in a devil-besotted world that plays host to a genocide glut. But it is not the end. In fact, it is the beginning.
Jesus died on Calvary. He was buried and left to rot in His tomb. But on the third day, He rose from that grave. Not, notice that He was raised, as He Himself had raised Lazarus. He rose. He is God and He arose from the dead on the third day.
He became what St Paul calls "the first fruits" of the resurrection that awaits us all.
There is no death.
Not for those who follow Christ.
Nor for their persecutors.
The difference lies in what waits for them on the other side.
Those who follow Our Lord to the death are assured of their place in heaven. Those who are reviled, shunned and attacked for Him are also blessed. Rejoice and be glad, Jesus said of people who are slandered for Him, for great is your reward in heaven.
These people who are Christ crucified in our world today are not victims. They are victors. They are guaranteed eternal life in heaven.
Ironically, it is the ones who persecute them who are in the most peril. They are laying up an eternity in hell for themselves where they will be the only thing their master the devil has left to torment and hurt.
It is a scalding thing to look into the eyes of another person and see satan looking back at you. It must be unimaginable suffering to look for eternity into the cold, pitiless, eyes of satan himself.
We must pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray that the Holy Spirit will walk with them through their passion in Our Lord's name. Pray that the same Holy Spirit will lift them and their sacrifice for Him up high, where all the world can see it. Pray that He will show us all what we can do to help them and to end this persecution.
Pray, finally, that we will not fail when our time of persecution comes, no matter how small it may be. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guard us from denying Him, even in the small social ways of going along with the larger culture. Pray that we will follow Him, as our brothers and sisters are doing, and that He, not the pleasures of this world, will be the Lord of our lives.
All Christians who follow Christ will suffer for Him in this world. There are no exceptions. Some Christians have the privilege of suffering extreme persecution for Him. Others, He does not trust so much. But there can be no peace between the gods of this world and the Kingdom. Not for any of us.
Here is the Novena to St Michael for the Persecuted Church, Day 9. Please pray it and ask others to join you.
Glorious Saint Michael, guardian and defender of the Church of Jesus Christ, come to the assistance of His followers, against whom the powers of hell are unchained. Guard with special care our Holy Father, the Pope, and our bishops, priests, all our religious and lay people, and especially the children. Saint Michael, watch over us during life, defend us against the assaults of the demon, and assist us especially at the hour of death. Help us achieve the happiness of beholding God face to face for all eternity. Amen. Saint Michael, intercede for me with God in all my necessities, especially for the conversion of the world,
that from pole to pole,
dateline to dateline,
all will call out Jesus' name. Obtain for me a favourable outcome in the matter I recommend to you. Mighty prince of the heavenly host, and victor over rebellious spirits, remember me for I am weak and sinful and so prone to pride and ambition. Be for me, I pray, my powerful aid in temptation and difficulty, and above all do not forsake me in my last struggle with the powers of evil. Amen.

The Pope and "Judging" Gay Priests, Redux
The National Catholic Register has an excellent article by Edward Pentin. The article analyzes the press reaction to Pope Francis' comments concerning homosexuality.
The Holy Father made these comments during his flight back to Rome from World Youth Day. I wrote about them here, and gave you a video of them here.
The point the NCR article makes is that the Pope did not overturn 2,000 years of Catholic teaching on this issue. He simply gave an example by his actions as to how it is lived out in real people's lives.
The media not only misinterpreted Pope Francis' comments, but it has consistently, and with what seems to me to often be deliberate malice, misinterpreted Catholic teaching on this subject in its entirety. This is so widespread that I can't just offhand think of a major media outlet that represents Church teaching accurately.
I know this is due to some extent to the limitations of space and time in which they work. There is also the problem of shoddy workmanship in which they settle for quoting one another rather than checking things out. Whatever the causes, the media has consistently portrayed Church teaching concerning homosexuality inaccurately and negatively.
I was impressed and proud of the way Public Catholic readers responded to this dust up over Pope Francis' statements. The comments to these two posts concerning the Pope's remarks were thoughtful, well-informed and intelligent.
You were not stampeded by the press. Bravo!
One thing that I think you already know, but that I want to make clear, is that the Catholic Church does not "hate gays" and it certainly is not homophobic. The only way it could be judged "homophobic" is by self-serving definitions of the word used by people who claim that any limit on homosexual behavior is, de facto, "homophobic."
The Church offers the same gifts of the sacraments to homosexuals as she does to everyone else. There is no bright line in Church teaching that says that homosexual acts are worse than adultery or other, similar, sexual sins. The Church — and the Pope in his press conference — simply refuse to deny that these acts are, in fact, sinful.
If the Church bowed to the dictates of trendy morality and started going along with people's demands that it tell them that their sins are not, in fact, sins, it would certainly not be doing them any favors. In fact, it would be endangering their immortal souls, and denying its own mission.
The Church cannot do this.
The Church is here to be a pathway to heaven. It shines a light on the narrow path that will take all of us who chose to follow it Home.
Do you want to go to heaven? Then do what the Catholic Church teaches.
It's as simple and easy as that.
For those Protestants who don't fully understand what I am saying, doing what the Church teaches will lead a person into a close, intimate and fruitful relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. They will be born again into the new life of truth and spirit. Doing what the Church teaches means accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I know this is hard to see from the outside, but I've lived it, and I know it's true.
The Church cannot tell people that their sins are not sins. That would be the worst possible lie. It would wreak damage on them of eternal dimensions.
Churches who are falling into the trendy mindset of re-writing the Gospels to suit the fancies and fashions of the day are misleading their followers. They are ignoring their responsibilities to the people who trust them, and to the God they claim to follow.
The Catholic Church, for all the failings of its people, will not do this. It is the Rock and it will not lie to you in ways that can get you sent to hell.
This is not homophobia. It is love.
From the National Catholic Register:
Daily News
Misinterpreting Francis (1944)
NEWS ANALYSIS: A Vatican official chided the mainstream media for its conflation of the Holy Father's remarks on homosexuality.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis' comments on homosexuality during a press conference on the papal plane back from World Youth Day in Rio were largely misreported by the mainstream press, according to a Vatican official and a Church expert.
During a surprise and wide-ranging in-flight press conference Sunday that lasted 80 minutes, Pope Francis reportedly said: "If someone is gay, and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge? We shouldn't marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society."
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well," the Holy Father went on. "It says one must not marginalize these persons; they must be integrated into society," he said, and he reportedly made the distinction between homosexual acts, which are sinful, and tendencies, which are not.
"The problem isn't this [homosexual] orientation — we must be like brothers and sisters. The problem is something else, the problem is lobbying, either for this orientation or a political lobby or a Masonic lobby," he said. The Pope recently said a "gay lobby" exists in the Vatican, which protects some priests and threatens to blackmail others.
The Catechism states that the number of men and women who have "deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible." The inclination is "objectively disordered," it continues, and "constitutes for most of them a trial" (2358).
It adds, "They must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition" (2358).
The Catechism teaches that homosexual persons "are called to chastity" and that "by the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection" (2359).
Not Changing Doctrine
But large media outlets, such as the BBC, often accused of promoting same-sex rights, were quick to report the story in accordance with their own biases. The BBC splashed this headline across its news site: "Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people?" Others followed suit, misleadingly implying that the Holy Father "doesn't judge gay people."
"[The Pope] is not saying homosexual acts are not a sin, and he obviously isn't changing Church doctrine, but he is making a change of emphasis," one Vatican official close to the Pope told the Register on condition of anonymity.

Jesus Goes to Prepare a Place for Us
In my Father's house there are many mansions. I go now to prepare a place a place for you. I will come again to take you to myself, that where I am, you may be also.
Why do you stand staring up into heaven. This Jesus you saw being taken up from you will come back …
Here's hoping you have a happy and blessed Feast of the Ascension!
Pope Francis: The Whole Journey of Life is a Journey of Preparation for Heaven
I have a friend who told me once that her goal in life was to go to heaven.
I found this a little startling at the time. I had always thought of going to heaven as more of a by-product than a goal. My view was something like "you follow Jesus and trust Him and going to heaven is a by-product of that."
I had never considered that heaven might be a goal that you aimed for all on its own. However, this particular friend is such a good Christian and so deeply wise in ways that I am still learning that I never questioned that there was a truth I didn't understand in what she had said.
Time has passed and she and I are both older. As usual, I am slowly coming around to the spiritual truth that she saw all along. Heaven isn't something you can earn with your good works. It certainly isn't a territory that you can seize by force. It is the destination of a life lived in Christ.
In a real sense, we are already citizens of heaven right now as we live out our time in this life. Following Jesus means walking the Way that leads straight through the Pearly Gates.
Pope Francis spoke of something similar to this in his morning homily yesterday. "The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation for heaven," he said.
He was teaching about the Gospel passage which relates Jesus, telling the Disciples that He is going ahead of them to prepare a place for them in His Father's house. Jesus was talking about his return to heaven and the Disciples ultimate destination of heaven.
Pope Francis applied what Jesus said to the disciples to the lives of every Christian. "Prepare a place means preparing our ability to enjoy the chance, our chance to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of that homeland towards which we walk," he said.
I think what my friend was trying to tell me is something very like what Pope Francis said yesterday. If we live our lives properly, they are a preparation, a kind of getting in shape, for the life to come.
I've always thought that is the real purpose of purgatory. I don't see it as punishment, but as cleaning up, refitting us so that we can be happy in heaven. There is no way most of us are ready for heaven when we leave this earth. We need a way station of some sort to get our heads right for heaven.
But there are those, like my friend, who are close to being good to go right now. They've lived their lives pointing heaven-ward by following Jesus from the inside of their beings out to their smallest actions.
I'm the last person to be an expert on this, considering the way I've lived my life and the way I keep on messing up even now. I'm far from thinking heaven-ward. But I am slowly beginning to start.
It may be just that I'm getting older. It may be that the world in which I live is becoming increasingly hostile to Christians. But heaven is becoming more real to me.
I am beginning to realize that heaven is home.
From CNA:
.- "The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation" for heaven, Pope Francis said during his homily at Friday morning Mass.
The Pope reflected on the Gospel passage from St. John for today in which Jesus tells the disciples not to be afraid or troubled because he goes to prepare a place in the Father's house for them.
"Prepare a place means preparing our ability to enjoy the chance, our chance, to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of that homeland towards which we walk," he remarked.
Members of the Vatican Typography office attended the Eucharistic celebration on April 26, alongside the Vatican Labor Office and Vatican State Police inside St. Martha's House chapel.
The Pope noted that Jesus talks "like a friend, even with the attitude of a pastor."
"Let not your hearts be troubled, believe in God, believe also in me," says Jesus, according to today's Gospel.
"In my Father's house there are many rooms, if it were not so would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?" Christ asked the disciples.
The Pope called these "really beautiful words" and asked the congregation what they thought that "place" was like. (Read the rest here.)
The Year of Two Living Popes and One Unchanging Faith
Does anybody remember that this is the Year of Faith?
It's certainly been a historic year so far.
Our beloved Benedict, Pope Emeritus, handed the Church forward to his successor, Pope Francis. The Year of Faith has become the Year of Two Living Popes.
It is one faith; one holy and apostolic Catholic faith. For those who will stop to think about it, that is a miracle in itself. Benjamin Disraeli, when asked what proof he could offer of God's existence, replied, "The Jew, sir, the Jew." To that I would add that if anyone doubts the divinity of Jesus Christ, I would offer them the Catholic Church and its 2,000 year history of faithful teaching.
The Catholic Church has persisted through the fall and rise of more than one empire. It has survived the venality of some of its own popes. It has come through plagues, famines and times of great wealth. And it has, through all of it, kept the teachings of the Gospels intact and unblemished.
I don't think there has been an day or an hour in all this great swath of history that the Church has not been under concerted and powerful pressure to re-write the Gospels to suit the passing moral fashions of the time. I think the reason for this is simple: The devil is real. There is a malicious personality out there who wants to destroy us through our own predilections to immorality.
We are not so much engaged in a war as we are the objects of a war. This malicious personality wars against us by aligning itself with our own fallen natures. It attempts to subvert us in our path to our ultimate calling as sons and daughters of the living God. We are the object of war making based in a hatred that is outside time.
But this evil, which seems so powerful and omnipresent to us who are in the soup of this life, is almost nothing in the halls of eternity. It is a vanquished foe whose only hold on us was broken at the cross. All we have to do is turn our faces away from the darkness and walk into the light.
The Catholic Church is the light, shining in the darkness of this world. Despite the undeniable fallenness of the people who govern it, the Church itself does not falter when it comes to providing the sacraments and teaching the teachings that show us the way to heaven.
This Year of Faith and two living popes — one reigning and one emeritus — is historic. But it is also part of the flow of the Church through history. Pope Benedict handed the Church forward and the Cardinals chose Pope Francis to take it up.
People who unwittingly are the mouthpieces for the devil yammer about how the Church must "change" its core teachings about life, love, sexuality and the common good or be found guilty of being "out of step with the world."
Let's think for a moment what they are demanding. What does it mean to be "in step" with the world?
"In step" with the world, as they define it, means that people are only human when those who have the power to do so define them to be human. It means that vast numbers of people may be killed at any time, for no reason at all.
Being "in step" with the world means that women and children are commodities to be bought and sold, raped and worked. It means that reducing women and children to objects and then using their rape, torture and murder as entertainment is a "right" that transcends any claims to their human dignity. Being "in step" with the world means that women's bodies can be harvested for their eggs that are then sold online. It means that women's wombs can be rented as surrogates.
Being "in step" with the world means "designing" babies that we will find good enough for our celestial selves to raise. It means discarding tens of other babies in this process to get the one perfect one we want.
Being "in step" with the world means destroying marriage, doing away with family as a unit that creates, nurtures and supports young human beings. It means that multinational corporations can pillage and destroy without restraint.
I could go on, but the point is that being "in step" with the world is being "in step" with decay, death and destruction. Being "in step" with the world is the exact opposite of what the Church is called to do.
The Catholic Church is not called to make the world comfortable in its sins. it is called to lead the world to redemption from its sins.
The world may and does excoriate the Church for "being out of step" with its many killing machines. It may and does excoriate Catholics for following their Church. It may and does try to force us out of public life and silence our witness.
But the world will not prevail.
Jesus said, "On this rock, I will build my Church. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it."
This is the Year of Faith. It is also the year of two living popes.
But this year is, as all years are, the year of the One and only Jesus, Who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Expect a good start from White Sox' rotation
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com March 20, 2012 10:16PM
Phillip Humber was 8-5 with a 3.10 ERA in the first half of 2011. | Paul Connors~AP
Article Extras
Updated: April 22, 2012 10:15AM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — From where he stands at the back of the line, Philip Humber has a clear view of the White Sox' starting rotation. He likes what he sees.
Granted, every Sox pitcher probably would say good things about the rotation. Humber, though, is a thoughtful product of academically strong Rice University, and he has credits from the pitching school of hard knocks as a former No. 3 overall draft pick who hit the skids before rising up and pitching like an All-Star during the first half of last season.
"The strength of our staff is that we're deep and every night you'll have an opportunity to win,'' Humber said. "Other teams may have a horse who is more dominant than our pitchers but I don't think there are many teams with five guys who are as capable. We have a lot of quality, talented arms. It's a strength of our team, something we can hang our hat on.''
Here's the glass half-full take on the rotation of John Danks, Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd, Chris Sale and Humber. It comes from veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski:
"Peavy has a Cy Young, John Danks has pitched well in this league for five years, Gavin Floyd has all the potential in the world, Humber had a really good year last year for his first full year, and Sale, if he can do what he did coming out of the bullpen and stay healthy he'll be fine. They have a chance to be pretty good and if everything works out right they can be really good.''
Here's the skeptic's half-empty view: Danks is 54-56 with a 4.03 ERA in his career, and after becoming the first Sox pitcher to receive a five-year extension (for $65 million), he must be feeling the weight of his deal because he's having trouble throwing strikes this spring; Peavy is a question mark because of past health issues; Floyd's good stuff has translated into one winning record and sub-4 ERA in his career; Sale is unproven as a starter and Humber's numbers got worse after a strong first half in 2012. The Sox might have five No. 3s but they have no No. 1.
After nothing but ho-hum or bad first outings for the starters, Peavy's and Sale's last outings in the last four days — five hitless innings for Peavy against the Mariners and six scoreless, two-hit frames for Sale against the Reds — provided a hint of how good the rotation can be. The guy who pieced it together says the starting five are good enough for him.
"We feel very confident we are running a starting pitcher out there every day that can give the team a chance to win,'' general manager Ken Williams said Tuesday.
The Sox have been pretty good at doing that. Since 2003, they lead the major leagues with 794 quality starts (six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer).
"There is no reason to think this won't continue,'' Williams said. "We just have to take better advantage of that with better overall fundamental play both offensively and defensively.''
That said, the Sox don't have a bona fide ace.
Not yet, anyway.
"Jake is capable of that and we know it because he has done it," Humber said. "I'm just getting started, Sale is just getting started but he's super talented with better stuff than 95 percent of the guys in the league. When I was with the Twins I saw John throw eight shutout innings against us in the blackout game, so you know he has that [big game ability] in him. Gavin has four pitches that are as good as any four-pitch guy in the league.''
The bottom line? The rotation has question marks, but there are fewer surrounding it than any area of the Sox.

Can Feisty Kirstie Alley Out Dance Athletic Kendra Wilkinson For 'DWTS' Coveted Mirror Ball Trophy?
Meanwhile, agile and athletic Kendra Wilkinson, 25, let her nerves get in the way of what should have been a stellar debut. Even though the reality star has fan support and the spunk of a professional hoofer, her antsy cha-cha with professional partner Louis Van Amstel disappointed the judges to the tune of only 18 points.
"Kendra will come back full force because she has the raw talent," a friend of Wilkinson's tells PopEater. "She just needs confidence and practice in this style of dancing, which is still new to her."
With the help of partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, however, Alley could continue to surprise the judges and viewers. With her chirpy attitude and multiple weight loss sagas over the years, she has proven she can meet substantial challenges.
Alley is eager to succeed on 'Dancing,' which she describes as a prelude to doing a Broadway show. "I'm doing this as a challenge to see how far I can push myself physically and still live," she quipped during Monday night's episode.
And on last night's 'Tonight Show,' she admitted to Jay Leno that she was happy to have Chmerkovskiy as her partner. "I have to say that's who I wanted," she admitted. "And baby gets what baby wants."
Sexual tension does wonders!
Hot, hulking and demanding, Chmerkovskiy can intimidate her into doing better each week. Plus, the more she dances, the more weight she is likely to lose, and her energy level should skyrocket.
Listening, Kendra? Feisty and competitive, the athlete in Wilkinson is still there. She just needs to work on acquiring the elegance, style and etiquette of romantic ballroom dancing.
Check out Wilkinson and Alley on 'DWTS':

I had low expectations for both. Kendra did just about what I thought she would do. Nothing special or great, just average. Kirstie surprised me. I am not really a fan of hers but she does have alot of natural talent. If she continues to impress, she will go very far. Who knew big girls could move like that? Go Kirstie!

With an open, even talkative personality and brave vision, Pope Francis has rocked the 1.2 billion-member Roman Catholic Church. He seeks a more engaged church, focused more intensely on service to the poor and less intensely on issues like homosexuality and abortion. Will Time magazine's 2013 person of the year increase his influence beyond the church during the coming year, or will that influence wane as his novelty fades?His influence will not wane!I think his statements about homosexuality and abortion have been misconstrued by many who think he approves and sanctions such practices. Not true, but rather we should be more tolerant and ease up, and focus more intensely on service to the poor, a problem since the beginning of time.In the Book of Matthew, he writes: "The poor you will always have with you." But that doesn't mean we should give up and be less intense in helping! — George J. Anthony, Fort WorthNot being a Catholic, perhaps I have little right to comment.But it appears that the pope is trying to convince his followers that he is just a human being without the smugness and self-righteousness of one elected to a high post.He's correct about what's important. In the Bible, Jesus came not to judge. Paul does express condemnation for homosexual acts but does not condemn the individual.If the only perfect person to ever live offered no condemnation, who are we humans to judge? It is meaningless to forever debate the right or wrong of human DNA. I think this pope is on the right track. — Grady Fuller, KennedaleAs a lapsed Catholic of long standing, I can tell you that Pope Francis represents what the Catholic Church should be.But he is up against an entrenched and privileged bureaucracy that will oppose him at every step.All Catholics are "cafeteria Catholics," observing rules they like and ignoring those they don't.The pope is popular with almost all Catholics, except those who approve only of the very conservative interpretations of doctrine, and with many non-Catholics and non-Christians.That is fine as far as it goes, but it will take removing the mossbacks and foot-draggers from key positions in the church and consistently replacing them with younger, more liberal, activist-minded clergy to have any lasting effect. — Paul R. Schattman, ArlingtonThe pope can do one thing: Distribute all the gold in the Vatican to all the destitute people of Catholic belief in Ireland, Mexico, South America, Italy, France, etc., who were robbed by their churches for years. — Derek Sidwell, Fort WorthWe had the honor of an audience with Pope Francis on Oct. 2 at the Vatican. What an awesome experience! You could tell that, without trying, his influence has gone far beyond the church. Every religion was represented, from Catholics to Muslims. He is not a "novelty." He is a humble man who loves and wants the best for all people, and is working to see it happen. He loves people. He was grabbing hands, hugging people, kissing babies and smiling the entire time. When he spoke, everyone was quiet and listened.It is hard to put into words what we saw and heard. We will return to Rome and look forward to seeing and listening to him again. — Joanne Hice, North Richland HillsHumble Pope Francis is demonstrating Christ's message of love, peace, justice and reconciliation. He is inspiring us to follow. — Jean Crane, Fort WorthPope Francis makes Jesus Christ present by doing good for others.The world would be a better place if we all sought to live a life of virtue through grace from God.The church has not changed her teaching that homosexual behavior and abortion are evil. The church also teaches that pornography and drunkenness are evil behaviors.Since abortion was mentioned in the question soliciting responses to All Points, why don't we see pictures in the newspaper of unborn babies who die every day from abortion? Why don't these little ones get the same treatment of being pictured upon their deaths as do the people in the Star-Telegram's obituaries? The future is known by God alone, so I will humble myself to not predict what God has planned for Pope Francis.Love one another. — Deborah Fleischmann, Fort WorthPope Francis is revered worldwide by his followers and even by those who practice other faiths.He's the most gregarious and touchable pope ever.His commitment to his faith and interaction with his parishioners and particularly with children serve as the best evidence that the Catholic Church is transcending and modernizing without compromising its teachings.The pope's philosophy and take on subjects such as homosexuality and abortion can best be summed up by his declaration: "Who am I to judge?"It resonates with the people and says that there are far more important matters, such as poverty and hunger, to concentrate on. — Sharon Barrow, Fort WorthPope Francis was quoted as saying "Who am I to judge?" in regard to homosexuals. As a priest, he was correct because Jesus said, "Judge not lest you be judged." (Matthew 7:1)He failed to quote John 5:22, in which Jesus also says, "The Father has given all judgment to the Son." Christians will be judged for rewards in I Corinthians 3:10-15 and II Corinthians 5:10 at the judgment seat of Christ.Unbelievers will be judged at the great white throne (Revelation 20:11-15) to check if their name is in the "book of life."If not, their guilty consciences will condemn them to eternal judgment. We are all accountable to God for how we choose to live because he has given the Bible to show us the way. — Jim Schierling, HurstPope Francis has been a living panacea for his multitude of followers.With his blessings, forgiveness and truly being a "people's pope," he'll convert many people to join or rejoin the Catholic Church.The pope's message of faith reverberates worldwide. He's amicable, loves children and mixes with the crowds wherever he goes.He's earned the trust of people and is well suited for his Time magazine 2013 person of the year designation.This title and his continuing efforts to assist the poor, hungry and disenfranchised will increase his worldly influence, which will prevail. — Cynthia Sseketto, Fort WorthI'm pleased to learn that the pope must be a Democrat, judging by his concern about the distribution of wealth in the world.He is preaching what Jesus taught and what Democrats have espoused since the Great Depression. Trickle-down economics doesn't work. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Yet Republicans, instead of cutting out loopholes for the rich to balance the budget, cut food stamps and don't want to raise the minimum wage or extend unemployment benefits. — Jack Vaughan, Arlington

LEE COUNTY, Fl. - Create a piece of art in 24 hours. That's what some students at FGCU are doing for Friday. It's the 6th annual 24-Hour Festival.
Students work in groups to create an original play, movie, song, dance or sculpture. The catch is, they have to somehow incorporate four elements like a broken window and an old picture.
One group tells WINK News, they decided to participate only 30 minutes before the competition started.
"It's going to be really difficult to incorporate every single element and get a final piece," says junior art major, Mark Poucher.
"You have a sentence, a plot fragment and random objects you have to incorporate," adds junior art major, Jilianna Javier.
Students have until 6 pm Sunday to submit their project. The winning group gets a 5-hundred dollar scholarship.

Step 1 – Make Sure You Are Using WordPress
While it may be more of a reminder and not so much a step, it is important to note that what I will be explaining is how to setup Google authorship markup in WordPress. It is important to note that you will need to be using a template that shows your user "biographical information" on each blog post. If you are not using WordPress, this will not work for you. You will need to try something like this for non WordPress sites. Read more »
1. Your Website
Chances are that 99% of you have this one covered, but I needed to bring it up for those who are in the 1%. There should be little issue getting your domain to rank for your brand provided it is a legitimate brand and not some generic keyword phrase. For example, if you search for the brand "Directv" you will see their branded site ranking first. Please note that this an actual brand and not something generic like "satellite tv" which could be anyone. If you can't or are not ranking first for your brand with your URL, chances are that you may have incurred a penalty of some sort. Possibly you have been hit by a duplicate content penalty from the Google Panda update. Should you be penalized, it is very important you utilize the other tactics listed below to dominate your brand for search. Read more »

Do you think it would be possible to buy 2 x Focus, dislocate the joints, and make a double-length legs? (I did this with my SLR-Zoom)Would the Focus be rigid enough for that, or better go with something like Xit 404 or DIY legs using strobe arms?

I don't know about marine grade, but the Gorillapod Focus has "machined aluminium sockets" in its legs. And it costs twice as much as the all-plastic Gorillapod SLR-Zoom.(Just to recap, I bought a load of Gorillapod SLR-Zoom a few years ago and modified it to use as light arms as well as tripod legs. They have all gone floppy and now more joints are superglued up than aren't. It sounds like others haven't had the same problem.)

Big Boots Lyrics - Elvis Presley
Review The Song (1)
They call your daddy Big Boots
Big Boots is his name
It takes a big man to wear big boots
That's your daddy's claim to fame
They know your daddy Big Boots
Wherever soldiers are
'Cause he can handle an armored tank
Just like a kiddy car
So sleep little soldier
Don't you cry
Loo doo doo doo doo
Mmm doo doo
General sandman soon coming by
Loo doo doo doo doo
Mmm doo doo
Gonna tell you a little secret
You won't believe it's true
Did you know your
Daddy Big Boots
Once wore little boots like you

Mara Wilson
For those people who plan to make a sequel to the now 20-year-old movie "Mrs Doubtfire," Mara Wilson says "Thanks, but no thanks." Wilson's role in the original film was Robin Williams and Sally Field's young daughter. Once is enough, she says.
Her objection is that sequels generally are mediocre, with very few exceptions. On top of that, she feels the original story ended just where it should have ended, making the possibility of re-opening that package awkward. She explained her reasons for quitting movie acting in this article. Mara Wilson is now 26, so her perspective is quite different from where it was when she played the "Natalie Hillard" role.

Just an addition to OP.
{331C6CE7-51C4-49B1-978F-E524E6682663} may not exist in your video directory. In fact all entries under "Video" folder are completely different than those shown here on my PC.
However, the rest of the address "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\" is correct. There will be two folders with 0000-0005 folders in them under "video" if you have two GPUs. Those are the ones you are looking for regardless of what numbers are present on the folders title under the video directory in the path shown in the OP.
All the other above steps apply.
On that note, I've only ever had to change the 0000 folder's ULPS setting in each of my two directories under video when I've updated CCC. The others remain set at "0".
It's a good idea to check anyway, I always do, but the other folder's settings [0001-0005] will probably remain set at 0 if you've done this before after updating CCC again. Just an interesting note there.
At any rate, don't think you've done something wrong just because the numbers of the folders in your video directory don't match the example above. You're still in the right place and just need to look for the two directories with six entries rather than two or three.
