ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – After nearly a week away from competition, the New Mexico State women's tennis team fell 4-3 to the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, March 30. NM State moves to 5-11 on the season.
Aggies Ginet Pinero and Ros-Polly Nguyen were the only win for NM State in doubles, allowing the crucial point to the Lobos. The Aggie pair worked for an 8-5 win at the top doubles spot, but the Lobos were able to pick up wins at courts two and three for the point.
"It was a hard-fought loss for us," head coach Ivan Fernandez said. "We had chances on a couple of other singles courts today, but without the doubles point it just becomes too much pressure to have to win four of the six singles matches."
NM State did come out with three of those singles wins, however. Pinero and Nguyen were among the Aggies on the winning side of the dual. Pinero worked for a two-set (6-2, 6-1) win at the No. 2 spot, while Nguyen knocked off her opponent in the fifth position in two sets also.
The third Aggie win came at the third spot with Denise Van Der Ben topping Kristin Eggleston 6-3 and 6-1.
NM State was unable to pull off the wins at the remaining three courts and eventually fell to the in-state rival 4-3. The Lobos improve to 7-8 on the season.
The Aggies continue on the road for three-straight conference matches next weekend. First, NM State meets UT-Arlington on Friday, April 5. The weekend continues with a Saturday dual against Idaho and concludes against UTSA on Sunday, April 7. Each of the three matches are set to be played in San Antonio, Texas.

Reviews for Cheesy Egg Puffs
Sort By :
"I really liked these hot out of the oven, but as much reheated. I love recipes I can make ahead so I'll try this again and see how they are."
"Delicious Recipe!! I made these in mini muffin size, and in a brownie pan, with DOUBLE the mushrooms and some garlic, and everyone RAVED.:0) My husband asked if he could take some extra in to work to share with some coworkers, and he never does that! This is a keeper, and like others said - this recipe is flexible. (But it's GREAT as is!)"
"I have made these repeatedly over the years, adding crumbled bacon to them. Many times after baking I will freeze them individually and pull out what I need for breakfast and zap them in the microwave to reheat. They are WONDERFUL and great for low carb diets!"
"I make these ALL of the time, and they are frequently asked for by my friends! I usually substitute the mushroom/green onion mix for other ingredients (like bacon/sausage, or multi colored peppers. you can even make up your own like ham&swiss, or chorizo with some salsa.)I have also cut down the butter to 1/4c. (in the egg mix) and have used 2% small curd cottage cheese and they are still great! They are very versatile! Also, easy to freeze, and just remove a few and microwave for about 1 minute for a quick breakfast!"
"I made these for a big family get together and even my sister who hates eggs enjoyed them! I added salt pepper and garlic to the mushroom, and ribboned fresh spinach to add to the egg mix...in addition I sauted green peppers and diced tomatoes for people to put on top. Would have just put them in the eggs to but was feading a crowd with lots of kids! They were awesome and would recomend adding anything you like"

YES, I am using Verizon DSL. But what's really weird is that if I log on to my company VPN (using the Verizon DSL to get there, of course), I CAN access the pre-eclampsia foundation's site. But that's the only way I can get to it. This is from the exact same computer (or laptop -- I've tried all 3 computers at home) with the exact same Microsoft explorer and its configurations.

A North Augusta man is being sought in Alabama after he and two other men allegedly scammed an elderly woman out of $9,000, according to the Vestavia Hills Police Department.
A felony warrant for first-degree theft of property has been obtained for 37-year-old Bill Braxton, of North Augusta, according to a statement released from the Vestavia Hills police. Braxton is also wanted in South Carolina, with nationwide extradition, for a probation violation.
Braxton and two accomplices approached an elderly resident on March 29 about "refinishing" her asphalt driveway, police said. In about 30 minutes, the suspects painted a glossy black substance on the driveway and demanded $9,000 in payment from the victim.
The victim told police she felt pressured into writing the check, which was subsequently cashed by Braxton at a local bank.
One of the two accomplices with Braxton was described as a white male in his 50s with graying hair. He was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed about 200 pounds.
The other man was white and appeared to be in his 20s with brown hair. He was about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed about 170 pounds.
The suspects were in a white, four-door truck with a flat bed and a hydraulic pump on the back, police said. The truck was possibly a Dodge or Chevrolet.

What you don't see may be a killer.
It's not carbon monoxide, but it can have the same destructive effect. It quietly lurks in Surry County homes, and many of us don't even know it. The Environmental Protection Agency describes it as the No. 1 cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Smokers exposed to it over the long term have 8 times the risk from it as nonsmokers.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced through the decay of uranium and radium in the soil. It's hard to detect without using a specific test for radon and its decay products, according to the EPA website.
January is Radon Action month, the EPA recently announced. The American Lung Association, Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute all agree radon is a national health problem and encourage radon testing during this month
"Radon is released harmlessly from the ground into outdoor air, but it can accumulate and reach harmful levels when trapped in homes and buildings," said Carmen Long from the Surry County Cooperative Extension. "We're giving away short-term testing kits for free because it's important to help save lives."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that radon is responsible for more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Since radon does not have an odor and is invisible, people tend to downplay the health effects and ignore the possibility that there might be a silent killer within the walls of their home.
According to the Cooperative Extension, some homes in Surry County have tested high for radon. Houses in the same neighborhood can have very different levels, so every home should be tested, they say.
"Though higher mountain counties have a greater risk for radon, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be cautious and proactive," said Long.
Should your home be found to have elevated levels of radon, the problem can be fixed by qualified contractors for a cost similar to that of many other home repairs. In Surry, the cost can be from $1,000 to $2,500 depending on the home.
The NC Radon Program urges residents to take action during this year's National Radon Action Month by testing their homes for radon.
For more information on radon and to receive your free radon test kit, please contact the Surry County Cooperative Extension office at 336-401-8025. Or visit the NC Radon Program's website atwww.ncradon.org.

What's the Point of It All?
David Cloutier July 3, 2013 - 11:02am
It's been a tough week. Based on my facebook feed, I think if all my friends got togther, a bar brawl would break out. Meanwhile, I am subjected to truly appalling displays of Catholic "patriotism" like this one of Mary wrapped in an American flag. Amidst all the ongoing political debate, I am looking forward to the encyclical on faith to remind us of the point of it all, and am happy to be reading an advance copy of Gary Anderson's new book, Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition.
A follow-up to his invaluable book on the evolution of the concept of sin in the biblical tradition, Anderson shows how Second Temple Judaism evolved a concept of a "treasury in heaven" that is the fruit of almsgiving, which is vividly adopted in the New Testament.
Anderson's book is meant to allay the (understandable) concerns about such language that have been raised since the Reformation. His crucial claim is that the notion of a "treasury in heaven" is not supposed to be about doing good deeds for a reward, but rather is "a declaration of belief about the world and the God who created it." That is, in Anderson's words, "the important point was not so much what they would gain from charity but what acts of charity say about the character of the world God has created." At its heart, almsgiving is "a sacramental act" which promises that we actually "meet God in the face of the poor." The sacramental ontology of the poor is meant explicitly to be a complement to the Eucharist, and it is constantly presented as an antidote to the "false promises" that come from storing up wealth and possessions for oneself, under the illusion that one will then have security. Security comes instead from faith in God and solidarity with the poor.
Anderson's book wonderfully manifests a reminder of the sacramental ontology, the flowing together and reconciling of heaven and earth, that lies at the heart of Catholicism, and which is supposed to link liturgical and moral practice. So in reading Michael Sean Winters' review of a new book on the decline of religion, I was provoked by a quote from the book where its author says directly and without apparent concern, "The point of being a Christian is to save one's soul and to get to heaven. Many tests and requirements might be involved along one's earthly path to that ultimate goal – good works, attendance in church, the practicing of virtues and the resisting of vices."
Ugh. The view that Christians act out of a motivation to save one's personal soul for the afterlife somewhere else is not a sacramental ontology, but its opposite. We could have wished that such a view would have been decisively set aside among Catholics in light of Henri de Lubac's anti-individualist masterpiece, Catholicism, and its profound endorsement in Benedict XVI's (overlooked) encyclical Spe Salvi. With the promised appearance of Francis' largely-Benedict-written encyclical on faith this Friday, it is worth recalling the central claims made in Spe Salvi about what the Christian hope is. Benedict writes, in response to criticisms of Christian hope as "individualistic":
Drawing upon the vast range of patristic theology, de Lubac was able to demonstrate that salvation has always been considered a "social" reality. Indeed, the Letter to the Hebrews speaks of a "city" (cf. 11:10, 16; 12:22; 13:14) and therefore of communal salvation. Consistently with this view, sin is understood by the Fathers as the destruction of the unity of the human race, as fragmentation and division. Babel, the place where languages were confused, the place of separation, is seen to be an expression of what sin fundamentally is. Hence "redemption" appears as the reestablishment of unity, in which we come together once more in a union that begins to take shape in the world community of believers…. This real life, towards which we try to reach out again and again, is linked to a lived union with a "people", and for each individual it can only be attained within this "we". It presupposes that we escape from the prison of our "I", because only in the openness of this universal subject does our gaze open out to the source of joy, to love itself—to God.
Benedict goes on to offer his own diagnosis of why Christian hope has been so overshadowed by secular progress:
How could the idea have developed that Jesus's message is narrowly individualistic and aimed only at each person singly? How did we arrive at this interpretation of the "salvation of the soul" as a flight from responsibility for the whole, and how did we come to conceive the Christian project as a selfish search for salvation which rejects the idea of serving others?.... we must also acknowledge that modern Christianity, faced with the successes of science in progressively structuring the world, has to a large extent restricted its attention to the individual and his salvation. In so doing it has limited the horizon of its hope and has failed to recognize sufficiently the greatness of its task—even if it has continued to achieve great things in the formation of man and in care for the weak and the suffering. It is not science that redeems man: man is redeemed by love. This applies even in terms of this present world. …
Neither Benedict nor I am interested in denying the resurrection. The point is rather to deny that Christianity is somehow an individual project directed at some kind of achievement of "salvation" in the future. Christianity is about love – what the New Testament displays to us over and over again is the claim: Christianity is about God reconciling the world to Himself in Christ. This reconciliation is both a future promise and an already-realized possibility, and it is not one that happens simply internally in individual souls. In both present and future forms, it is a social reality. It happens importantly when we both sign and effect this solidarity in the Eucharist and in generosity to the poor. If Christianity is simply an individual soul-saving operation, it is no wonder that generosity to the poor is neglected or (perhaps even worse) made contingent on some kind of judgment about the poor's "worthiness." As Anderson's book shows, the whole point of the enterprise of generosity in biblical texts is that it is risky. It doesn't come with a guaranteed outcome. It is animated by faith and hope, not by what is seen empirically.
The depiction of the essence of Christianity as a self-centered project of maintaining "afterlife insurance" is not only biblically implausible, but theologically disastrous. It embroils us in endless, unsolvable problems about supposed conflicts between God's mercy and God's justice, between "works" and "faith," and (as Anderson explains) between eudaimonistic, teleological ethics and disinterested Kantian duty. It makes the Christian God come off as a surly grade-school teacher "testing" his/her students and, when necessary, threatening to fail them. This is a great way for Christianity to lose even more credibility.
Elsewhere, Joseph Ratzinger quite strikingly suggests that Christianity can misunderstand itself from two ends – it can understand itself purely in worldly-instrumental terms, all about pragma, or it can mimic ancient religious cults, and descend into mythos. It can, in short, be reduced either to ethics or to mystical fantasies. I sometimes think/worry that our debates in Catholicism tend in these two directions, even if they try not to arrive there. But the alternative is not some kind of a mix of mythos and pragma; rather it is faith in what Ratzinger calls logos, evidenced in the early Christian move to ally with the Greco-Roman philosophical tradition as an alternative to both these tendencies. It is a confession that the world is fundamentally sacramental, and that religion is neither simply pragmatic ethics nor gnostic fantasy. It is concerned with manifesting genuine reality, which is love. The logos is love, and God is acting through Christ to bring about this reconciliation, even when death threatens love, for love is stronger than death. This is our faith; if we don't see that, we'll just all keep arguing.
Commenting Guidelines
What a marvelous post - thank you. It reminds me that the parable of the sheep and goats is popularly understood as an allegory of individual judgment, but the text indicates that it is nations, not individuals, who stand before the throne. Entire peoples must love.
I agree with Jim Pauwels. An excellent, thought-provoking post. And it dovetails very nicely with Fr. Imbelli's post on the Pope's admonition to touch the wounds of Christ in the world's poor and suffering.
I'm going to read the book, but I'm a little puzzled by this post. After all, there can't be a "we" unless there's a "Thou" and an "I," and one would like to think that the "we" is not purchased at the price of individual selves. "I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in." That states it nicely, I think. The goal is a communal enjoyment when all the saints have marched in, but I'm the one who decides whether I'm in their number. In that sense aspiring to salvation within that great "communion of holy ones" is definitely "an individual project." I think the contrast is overdrawn here. Christianity is inescapably communal both now and, as we hope, in the future. But community and person are not antithetical.
Do the metaphors of "treasury in heaven" and "afterlife insurance" differ so greatly that the one may be praised and the other dismissed?
And Jim Pauwels: What are nations except collectivities of individuals? How could it be that "it is nations, not individuals, who stand before the throne"?
Fr. Komonchak-- I appreciate the comment, and wouldn't want to saddle Anderson with the contrast I go on to suggest in the post. Certainly it's true that community shouldn't be stressed to the extent of rejecting any sense of individual call and response. (One can think of the rich young man story, for example.) But I do think we have a tendency to misunderstand identity in primarily individual terms, such that our choice to belong somehow happens in a logically prior way to the community itself. There is a proper way in which the community makes the individual, even if the individual also ultimately can choose separation from the community. De Lubac contrasts the Church understood as convocatio and as congregatio - the former suggests the priority of the community's call, whereas the latter suggests an assembling of a group who have individually come to some kind of decision. I become an "I" by the participation in the "we" - an image that is probably strengthed by the death/new life dynamics of baptism. The "we" makes the "I," and it is difficult to know how that understanding can be maintained if the "we" is something that is only achieved in the future, if "I" do the right things.
At its heart, almsgiving is "a sacramental act" which promises that we actually "meet God in the face of the poor."
Agree, but the notion of what is appropriate almsgiving changes with the times and the places. E.g., my Ancestors may have stood at the rich man's gate hoping for donations of his trenchers and undrunk wine, but no one stands at my gate waiting for the almoner and the butler. So I have to find another way to feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty. In Russia, after a disaster, those who wish to help the afflicted go to the hospitals and give them money directly. (Not relying on organized charities.)
Peter Brown, in his fabulous new book, Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome and the Making of Christianity in the West, explains how the idea of charity changed radically in the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries. E.g., instead of sponsoring games for the delight of the citizenry, a rich Catholic would be exhorted by Augustine (et al.) to give to the poor.

Dr. Cloutier,
I think it would be good form to site the name of the book and the author whose quote you are using as the counerpoint for your main argument. Linking to Mr. Winter's review of said book doesn't quite make it, at least for me.
What are nations except collectivities of individuals? How could it be that "it is nations, not individuals, who stand before the throne"?
Fr. K - I'm just summarizing the scene-setting of the passage, which is given in Matthew 25:31-32:
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."
The only possible antecedents of "them", it seems to me, are "nations" or "angels", and surely the latter isn't intended.
I agree that nations are collectives of individuals, as are a number of other collectives: families, clans, tribes, and so on. But "nations" are what is named in the passage.
Here is how the NAB footnotes this passage, which it entitles, "The Judgment of the Nations":
"The conclusion of the discourse, which is peculiar to Matthew, portrays the final judgment that will accompany the parousia. Although often called a "parable," it is not really such, for the only parabolic elements are the depiction of the Son of Man as a shepherd and of the righteous and the wicked as sheep and goats respectively (Mt 25:32–33). The criterion of judgment will be the deeds of mercy that have been done for the least of Jesus' brothers (Mt 25:40). A difficult and important question is the identification of these least brothers. Are they all people who have suffered hunger, thirst, etc. (Mt 25:35, 36) or a particular group of such sufferers? Scholars are divided in their response and arguments can be made for either side. But leaving aside the problem of what the traditional material that Matthew edited may have meant, it seems that a stronger case can be made for the view that in the evangelist's sense the sufferers are Christians, probably Christian missionaries whose sufferings were brought upon them by their preaching of the gospel. The criterion of judgment for all the nations is their treatment of those who have borne to the world the message of Jesus, and this means ultimately their acceptance or rejection of Jesus himself; cf. Mt 10:40, "Whoever receives you, receives me.""
Nations, as collectivities of individuals, are more than the sum of those individuals; nations have a social, collective identity that is expressed in culture, law, government, economic activity and so on and that transcends what single individuals do as individuals.
I take the point of your comment to David to be that there is a critical personal and individual aspect to discipleship, and I don't disagree with that. It is as individuals that we accept the call to discipleship - and enter ever more deeiply into the collectivity we call the church. There are a couple of erroneous interpretatations to this dynamic: that the collectivity is responsible for almost everything, and the individual for almost nothing; or that the individual is responsible for almost everything, and the collectivity for almost nothing. Of these two possibilities, the latter would seem to be more prevalent today and pose the greater pastoral problem for modern believers. Or so it seems to me.
That "Mary in the Flag" thing is too awesome. It should be distributed again the feastday of St. Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Hooooo!
Prof. Cloutier:
I think that, existentially, the community comes first, the "we" before the "I'; in fact, the "I" emerges from within a prior "we," that is, in response and reaction to the parents, families, communities, etc. within which we are born and reared. I agree, therefore, that "the community makes the individual." But there is also such a thing as what Bernard Lonergan called an existential moment in which one discovers for oneself that it is up to oneself to decide for oneself what to make of oneself, and part of that self-constitution could very well be deciding which communtiies one will belong to. Among them there may be the Christian Church which, in the persons of some of its members, inviites one to enter its communion. But that Church (Lubac's convocatio), concretely, consists of the men and women who constitute an assembly of believers (Lubac's congregati), that is, of people who have each come to make the commitment of faith that constitutes the Church. (I think that de Lubac overlooked the fact that any convocatio is the congregatio made possible by an earlier convocatio.) It is not by just "some kind of decision" that I become a member of the Church, but by the decision of faith and by all the other decisions by which I try to live a life of Christian hope and love. Both now and in the future, whether I am part of the "We" certainly does depend on whether or not "I do the right things," that is, believe, hope. and love.
Jim: Certainly there is such a thing as a "collective identity," but it is also very difficult to describe and define much less to convert or to change except by addressing individuals. Explain to me how a nation would stand under the last judgment and suffer one or two of the fates described in the parable. "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire," Czechs will hear, while their former fellow nationals, the Slovaks, will hear, "Come, ye blessed of my Father: possess the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." My saintly grandmother would probably have agreed with this scenrio, but I have some problems with it.
There are good philosophical reasons to resist assigning unqualified priority to either the individual person or to the human communities into which he or she is incorporated by birth. We rightly say that one person is, at bottom, unsubstitutible for by another person. Eachis unique. But we rightly also say, that I can make sense of any paarticular person and what he or she does by recognizing that he or she is essentially a member of a community or society. For, example, Robinson Crusoe is unique, but he is a unique member of a group. Or in other terms, Adam without Eve could not have made any sense of himself or of anything else.
I have to leave to others of you the work of saying how either an individual or a community is related to God or to the Church.
Just as focusing on one's self can result in the prideful isolation of, say, the Quietists -- "pure as angels, proud as devils", so focusing on the community can result in the pride and failure of tribalism of all sorts. I think the latter is perhaps the more dangerous focus because individuals who identify themselves with their groups often claim the virtues of the group's heros when the individuals are in fact just passive by-standers or cheer leaders to whatever virtues the leaders might posses. Consider, for instance, the triumphalism of Catholics -- "WE don't behave like that!". Sure, there were many great Catholic saints, but their sanctity and wisdom doesn't sanctify me or make me wise, even if I'd like to pretend to myself that it does.
Further, self-criticism is a necessity whether it be criticism of the individual or of one's own group. Unfortunately, it's easier to criticizee the *others* in our own group while neglecting our own particular sins and mistakes.
I think JAk is right about the priority of the individual at least in time. Reflection on the family shows us most clearly that the very existence of the whole is dependent on the existence of the members. So I say we need to begin by focusing on our own spiritual status and then move on to practices which encourage us to participate wisely and virtuously in the group.
Fr. K - beats me; it's been a problem passage for me for a long time. I admit I may be the only one :-)
Here is the only way I can make sense of it. To put a negative cast on it: my rule of thumb regarding social sin is that 'collective guilt' must somehow translate to one or more instances of individual guilt, with individual culpability being proportional to the responsibility that an individual has to influence or direct the actions of the collectivity. Thus, in assessing guilt for the firebombing of Dresden, Eisenhower and Marshall and Roosevelt are more culpable than my parents and grandparents, who were living American citizens then but were nowhere near Dresden and were in no position to stop it or influence it (and in my grandparents' case may not even have voted for Roosevelt, although certainly they supported the war effort); in assessing guilt for the abuse of children by clergy, the abusing clergy and diocesan officials who countenanced and enabled it are more culpable than the people in the pews of my parish; and so on.
I think we're individuals first - when we die, we die alone and the relationship we have with Jesus/God is between two "individuals", so to speak. As for almsgiving being some kind of sacramental act, I can speak only for myself, but I give money to charity because I feel empathy for those who need help. What will Catholicism ever do if eventually the world is able to do away with poverty?
sacramental act
In Scripture did Jesus send groups or individuals to Heaven and Hell? I was taught that individuals, not groups, would be judged in the end.
I'm afraid I think this modern notion of "group guilt" is nonsense. Yes, the dogma of Original Sin (which belongs to all individuals) presents some theological problems, but what does "Original Sin" really mean?
What will Catholicism ever do if eventually the world is able to do away with poverty?
Jesus said that the poor we will always have with us.
And, at the risk of sounding as though I am blaming the victim, some causes of poverty are self-inflicted (as human beings are fallen and so some of them make mistakes and commit sins which impoverish them and/or others), and so poverty may be partly impervious to whatever fixes the world is able to cook up. Which doesn't mean we should not do our best to alleviate it.
Or maybe, when poverty ends, the world will end and Jesus will come back. Who knows?
Good essay. I am, among those, who see that the role of the individual in the Catholic tradition seems to be minimized in favour of emphasizing the communal dimension.
I think that it is true that there can be such a privatizing of faith that one sees one's responsibilty to only oneself and not in being open to others. At the same time, as has been mentioned, just participating in the body of believers is not guarantee of salvation. Nor is simply supporting foundations and groups. One does need to take an individual, personal responsibility towards others. Pope Francis alluded to this in a sermon posted here just the other day:
And Jesus asks us to take a leap of faith, towards Him, but through these His wounds. 'Oh, great! Let's set up a foundation to help everyone and do so many good things to help '. That's important, but if we remain on this level, we will only be philanthropic. We need to touch the wounds of Jesus, we must caress the wounds of Jesus, we need to bind the wounds of Jesus with tenderness, we have to kiss the wounds of Jesus, and this literally. Just think of what happened to St. Francis, when he embraced the leper? The same thing that happened to Thomas: his life changed
I think when he says "we", implied in that "we", is the individual person. I won't reiterate all that has been said and I agree with much of it. I do think that the Catholic tradition contained within itself a strong monastic thrust which was, without question, highly individualistic. Afterall the etymology of monk is "single, solitary".
"The poor will always be with us."
I have to wonder if that's not the way some Catholics want it to be.: the foot dragging by conservative Catholics on social programs that would help insure economic justice and erradicate poverty and instead the promotion of private charity that keeps the "almsgivers" in their place of power, and according to some of you guys, gets them into heaven as well ... yuck.
William Byron, S.J., used to say that he'd like to write a book about things that Jesus wishes he hadn't said, and one of them was, "The poor you will always have with you."
Speaking of Pope Benedict's Spe Salvi, there is this statement, somewhat blunter than the point is usually made but definitely not evasive: "No one lives alone. No one sins alone. No one is saved alone." (§48) I have found that useful. It seems to me to be almost as distinctively Catholic as the Real Presence.
Taking a slightly different angle, it seems in recent years that homilists who used to dread to get tangled in the theology of the Trinity have found a friendly harbor in the concept of God as community.
Does an era get the theology that is implicit in its own thinking? When I was in grad school in the mid 60's I was older than most of the young women in the graduate women's dorm. I was impressed even then at how different those young ones were from me. They seemed to need to act as groups. Individual action just seemed foreign to their thinking, and group action (think Woodstock?) was the paradigm. Example: one night some crazy or drunk or stoned young men very loudly kept trying to break in to the dorm. Somebody called campus security, but couldn't get through. So what did the young ones do? They kept debating among themselves what to do, then finally as a group decided to call the police. The police didn't come, while the yowling boys continued to try to break down a door. I finally decided to call a Dean myself hoping to get some action, though it was the middle of the night, and I did. The young ones were surprised that I'd do something outside of the group's deliberations. Another indication of their group thinking was, I think, their very attractive appreciation of friendship. I think people of that generation have more close friends than mine did and they seem to try to keep up the group-friendships they form when young. Anyway, that was my experience.
Maybe the current emphasis on the communal aspects of the Church might be due to the outlook of the younger generation which values group action and group friendship so highly.
Mr. Blackburn: How does "the concept of God as community" escape tri-theism?
Let me try once more to say why giving unqualified priority to either the individual or the "we" is a mistake.
On the one hand, it's true that there are no "higier order "agents. Individuals are the only properly so called agents. On the other hand, there is, from a philosophical standpoint, no basis for talking about "the first human action" or the first "human word." Every particular action or word that we can make any sense of has antecedent words or actions. I can conceive of the possibility of some first human motion or performance, but not the first meaningful human action. But if an action properly so callled is necessarily a meaningful performance, then the only actions we can rightly conceive of are actions that fint into a context of prrvious, contemporary or subsequent actions. I.e., every action is part of some human history. Similarly, every human action is part of an interaction. Its intelligibility presupposes the existence of other actors, again, predecessors, contemporaries or successors.
On the question of collective guilt, we can talk about institutioonalized sins that benefit us and that, if we do not do what we can to root them out, then we bear some responsibility for the harms they continue to inflict. Karl Jaspers developed this notion in his "The Question of German Guilt," a reflection on Germany's role in World War II. One can speak of this as "collective guilt" inasmuchas if other people have not yet rooted it out, then I and the rest of us have a responsibility to do so, a responsibility that each of us may shirk.
In other terms, to be a human individual is always to be involved with others in a human history. There is no ahistorical individual.
Every particular action or word that we can make any sense of has antecedent words or actions. I can conceive of the possibility of some first human motion or performance, but not the first meaningful human action. But if an action properly so callled is necessarily a meaningful performance, then the only actions we can rightly conceive of are actions that fint into a context of prrvious, contemporary or subsequent actions. I.e., every action is part of some human history. Similarly, every human action is part of an interaction. Its intelligibility presupposes the existence of other actors, again, predecessors, contemporaries or successors.
From the point of view of human psychology, I am certain this is true; we interpret an action by categorizing it according to previously-known patterns of behavior. This is why, when outlier actions is shown to us, we frequently don't know how to interpret it correctly. For example, many Americans were not only shocked and horrified in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, they were also puzzled: who would want to fly airliners into prominent buildings, and why? Its full meaning was not readily apparent. Another example that perhaps is more dramatic is when the space shuttle Challenger exploded; after the midair disintigration, it was not immediately apprehended what had happened, as this CNN newsfeed illustrates.
When Lyndon Johnson announced his War on Poverty, I was astounded at the many people who quoted Jesus's "the poor will always be with you" as if they sincerely believed that trying to alleviate poverty was blasphemous.
Fr. Komonchak, how does God-as-community escape tri-theism? Well, do we ever escape tri-theism in this life? Do we ever get both God-and-man exactly right for longer than it takes to express the idea? We are dealing with mystery, but we figure out ways to talk about it, whether it's Augustine's kid trying to pour the ocean into a hole in the sand or St. Patrick with the shamrock.
What seems to be floating around in some popular hints for homilists (I am guessing) is an arrangement of some of the sayings of Jesus, mostly from John ("who sees me sees the Father," "I am in the Father, and the Father is in me"), and the picture/concept/idea of the Spirit as the overflowing of the love between the Father and the Son. I've been hearing variations of this on occasions like Trinity Sunday for, I'd say, eight to ten years now. That leaves us with one monotheistic will and three persons packed together so tightly the eye can't separate them. Which, as explanations go, isn't much worse than the others.
One of St. Augustine's metaphors for the Church:
"Brothers and sisters, think of some feast of the martyrs and of some shrine where crowds flock on certain days for a celebration. Think of those crowds and of how they stir each other up and exhort one another and say, "Let's go! Let's go!" And some ask, "Where are we to go?" and they're told, "To that place, to that shrine." They talk to one another, and it's as if, individually on fire, they make a single flame, and that single flame, kindled as their conversation sets them on fire, hurries them toward the shrine, and their holy thoughts make them holy."
Individually on fire, but by their conversation and common purpose they make a single flame.
What were these bishops thinking distributing that pic?
Let the bishops send that pic to what's left of Catholic countries.
Let the bishops send that pic to what's left of Catholic countries.
Let the bishops send that pic to what's left of Catholic countries.
I'm glad that the link to the photo was giving. Lately I have been wondering whether my gag reflex is still working.
It is.
Ed Gleason: What pic? What pic? What pic? What pic?
This picture linked from the Brooklyn Tablet in the original post
Apparently Bishop DiMarzio thought it appropriate to distribute to every parish in the Brooklyn Diocese.
A poor Jewish woman from 1st Century Palestine, made to look like 1940s Hollywood starlet and then wrapped in an American flag.
Happy Fortnight for Freedom. Ugh.
Lovely lady dressed in red, white and blue,
Teach us what to pray for:
Lots of dough and lots of stuff
And victory when we go to war?
Was that atrocious photo distributed elsewhere than in Brooklyn and Queens? Ed Gleason refers to bishops in the plural. I would like to think that there are not many with such poor aesthetic and theological taste. But, then again, it is hard to think of any depths of bathos to which devotion to Our Lady will not stoop. Back in the 1970's the Magnificat was being trumpeted in some Latin American quarters as the battle-cry of a first-century revolutionary woman.
Somehow it reminds me that when Novak, Neuhaus and Weigel were thought to be flying high, unimpressed Romans referred to them as "the star-spangled Trinity."
Fr J K
my multiple posts are to be blamed on the 'new' Commonweal format and not the bishops. (-:
also the new format has disabled my spell check so now I will appear dumber then usual..
It seems to me a person totally alone cannot sin. Gladly it is not possible but were it possible for a human being from the moment of birth to the moment of death at an old age to live completely without contact of another living creature I do not know how that person could sin. Nor do I know how that greatfully theoretical person could love. From my limited view of the world it seems to me love and sin are both intrinsically communal affairs as is God.
Fr. Komonchak-
Scattering the proud in their conceit, casting the mighty from their thrones, lifting up the lowly. filling the hungry with good things, sending the rich away empty..
Maybe not a "battle cry" in the sense of taking up arms, but words that come directly from a revolutionary prophetic Jewish tradition, words which announce that the child to be born to this poor woman in occupied Palestine is the incarnation of a God with a preferential option for the poor and the marginalized. Sounds revolutionary to me.
The parish where my mother grew up, St. Mary Star of the Sea in Jackson, MI, includes this stained glass window.
It's difficult to see details from the angle at which this picture is taken, but the image is of a queenly Mary. Grouped about her feet are American soldiers (in doughboy uniforms) on the left, and American Navy sailors and, I think, marines, on the right. They are bringing wounded men to her. A religious sister nurse is tending one of them. One of the soldiers is bearing an American flag.
The church dates, I think, from the 1920s. I expect that the image was created in earnest faith. I find it nearly impossible to believe that such a stained glass window would go into a newly constructed church today - either the artist wouldn't execute it, or the pastor or the diocesan art and environment committee wouldn't approve it. I can say with certainty, though (as these are my stomping grounds, too), that it reflects a certain stream of popular faith and devotion that persists today.
Oh, sure, Jim, that stream of popular faith still exists today. And I am old enough to remember when it was stronger and more widespread. But, like that famous painting of George Washington unusually on his knee, at Valley Forge getting advice from God on how to defeat King George IVG, isn't it technically idolatry?
Tom - I'd say that wrapping the Blessed Virgin in the American flag(!) is, if not positively idolatrous, at least really, really off-base. I'd say that putting an American flag in a sanctuary - a pretty popular thing among a lot of people here in the upper Midwest - may well be an example of idolatry. This particular stained glass window - I'm not sure. If it showed Mary overlooking our soldiers mowing down the Germans on the battlefield or some such, that would be a problem. In this case, these soldiers seem to be kneeling in supplication, and bringing wounded comrades to her to intercede (that's my take on it, anyway). Maybe not so bad?
I visited my family in Iowa over the 4th. We went to mass on the Sunday before and the church was festooned with American flags, including about 30 completely surrounding the base of the altar.
It is one of those old churches with the high altar in the background, and it was awash in flags as well.
When I expressed amazement to my sister and brother-in-law, they looked at me as if to say, "what's the problem?"
Isn't the Brooklyn Diocese, which generated Patriotic Mary, laso the source of the "Hipster Jesus" picture that Paul Moses posted about?
I wonder who does their PR? And who signs off on it at the Diocese?
I recall the same outrage in here at the appalling and atrocious picture of the crucifix in urine. Oh, wait.
Mark, your memory would work better if it could tell the difference between a Catholic diocese and an artist trying to be avant garde.
Though I do really like Boy Scout Jesus & Girl Scout Mary. (if you scroll down the link, you can see the holy cards) http://nycatholicscouts.com/events.htm
These are in my top 3 holy cards; my very favorite is the Guardian Angel watching over the children crossing the rickety bridge. (I think I had the Guardian Angel picture in my room when I was a little girl).
And maybe wrapping Mary in a flag isn't all that different. She looks kind of like Columbia.
I had noticed that subtext of far too many threads and comments on this blog was that only the heirarchy is to be blamed, but basedon your comment it seems like you believe it's an unquestioned premise.
Mr. Proska -- interesting juxtaposition of "Starlet Mary Wrapped in a US Flag" and "Piss Christ". To me they are each provactive and controversial. Starlet Mary appears to be promoting a nationalist civil religion, American exceptionalism with the blessing of the Blessed Mother. I find that deeply offensive and in direct contradiction to the univeral "catholicism" of the gospel message. Maybe there is some other deeper message in that art, but I don't see it. I'm open to be educated
Many folks like Bill Donohue looked at Piss Christ and immediately (superficially, I submit) thought the only point was to offend believers. But others (art critic, Sister Wendy, for example) saw a provactive statement about how we treat Christ in our midst today. Others saw a provactive view of the incarnation, the kenosis, God becoming human -- willing to enter in the muck, "the piss" of the human condition .
The irony to me is, I find it much easier to place Piss Christ within an orthodox theological tradition than Starlet Mary.
Mark, I would put it differently, of course :-). I have no particular interest in Andres Serrano. I do care about the hierarchy. Serrano can maka a fool of himself any way he wishes. But I get upset when a bishop (or any public Catholic) does a riff on what I once heard from a (slightly deranged) minister who was fighting the godless government (ours), viz., that the middle three letters of JerUSAlem are U.S.A.!
The irony to me is, I find it much easier to place Piss Christ within an orthodox theological tradition than Starlet Mary.
Jack - "The Book of Mormon" has a big, joyful musical number called, I think, "F*** You, God". (If you've ever seen the show, this is far from the most outrageously provocative thing in it). After seeing it, my wife and I agreed that, in fact, there is an orthodox theological tradition in which a believer can rail at God in this way.

|Associate Head Coach
|5th season in 2014-15
|Previous College:
|Maine '81
Jim Tortorella enters his fifth season as associate head coach.
Tortorella came to New Hampshire after a 16-year stint as head
coach at Colby College, where he led the Mules to an impressive
230-138-33 record in that span and leaves his mark as the
program's all-time leader in career wins.
A highly respected coach throughout the New England region, Tortorella brings a wealth of experience to Durham and will work primarily with the UNH defense.
In his time with the Colby hockey program, Tortorella led the Mules to 11 NESCAC playoff appearances, a trio of ECAC playoff appearances, an ECAC championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Tortorella's best campaign came during the 2007-08 season, when he was selected as the NESCAC Coach of the Year and the New England Hockey Writers Coach of the Year after guiding the Mules to a first place finish and host for the league's final four. He was also selected as the NESCAC Coach of the Year following the 2005-06 season.
In addition to his duties at Colby, Tortorella has long been a mentor to some of the best young players in the United States as he was named the assistant coach for both the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 USA World Junior Teams. Tortorella also serves as the director of player development for the USA Hockey affiliates of New England for six years. As a reflection of his versatility and esteem in the hockey community, Tortorella was elected president of the prestigious American Hockey Coaches Association in 2001, and in 2005 was selected as vice president of the AHCA's Hockey's Coaches Care Charitable foundation.
A former standout goalie at the University of Maine, Tortorella began his coaching career at Brunswick High School in Maine from 1984-87. He went on to coach at Cony High School in Augusta, Maine, where he earned State of Maine Coach of the Year honors two times over a five-year span. Prior to his time at Colby, Tortorella served as an assistant coach at UNH as a member of Umile's staff. Tortorella currently holds the highest level of coaching education achievement within USA Hockey, the master certificate, and was a finalist for the 1995-96, 2005-06, and 2007-08 National Division III Coach of the Year honors.

As mentioned in the previous post, Google Reader is now mature. But how could it mature be without having a search feature? The wait is over: Google Reader finally added search.
You can search all your feeds, the feeds from a folder or the posts from a single feed. In fact, you can perform two searches: one for a folder or feed and another search for the posts that contain some keywords and are from the folder or feed you've previously selected. The results are sorted by date and it takes a couple of seconds for them to show up.
It's easy to navigate using keyboard shortcuts: j for the next item, k for the previous item, Enter to read the full post and to go back to the search results, v to go to the original site.
Some small complaints: it would be nice to search the current folder or feed without having to manually select it from the list; there's a noticeable lag so search is anything but fast; when restricting the search to starred items you can't find the post you've starred one minute ago; some advanced search features would be useful (restricting to an author, a date range, posts that have enclosures). Ranking search results by relevance (with a slight bit of personalization) and clustering them à la Google News would dramatically improve the search experience, but I'm probably a nitpicker. What's important is that Google Reader has a way to search your feeds.
Update: For about a day, Opera users saw new Google Reader interface, specially designed for their innovative-but-not-very-popular browser:

Partners in Mingo, Pike, McDowell, Boone and Logan County invite you to join the first annual Hatfield and McCoy Healthy Feud: Walk 100 Miles in 100 Days. The program Walk 100 Miles in 100 Days® was originally introduced by The Wellness Program at WVU Hospitals, and has been getting over 5,000 people annually out and walking for over 20 years, according to Adam Flack, Executive Director at West Virginia on the Move.
"Adding a mile of sustained walking a day can greatly reduce one's risk of future Heart Attack and Coronary Artery Disease. With 100 days of participation, most people find the habit easy to keep after the program's end. We are excited to expand this program to other counties and states," Flack said.
Now, the program has moved into Hatfield and McCoy Country—adding a new twist to the age-old story.
"This is a great opportunity to involve the rich history of the Hatfields and McCoys when it comes to getting fit in West Virginia and Kentucky," said Alexis Batausa, who is a Health and Wellness Promoter at the Mingo County Diabetes Coalition. "This program will help bring us all together to become more active in our communities—- and to compete in a healthy way."
Starting after Labor Day, on Sept. 9th, teams will begin tracking their miles for 100 days, or until Dec. 17th. Participants will strive to walk a mile a day, totaling 100 miles. During this time, communities will see that the feud can drive families, friends, and businesses to embrace healthy competition among counties.
David Hatfield, president of the Tug Valley Road Runners Club and also a descendent of the infamous Hatfields, said that he thinks this is a great opportunity to connect heritage to health.
"If you take a look at our history when the Scottish/Irish settlers began moving here in the 1700s, they had rugged terrain to settle. It took a special person to stay in a place like this— to grow crops, hunt game, etc. To survive this environment, and lead a normal life with what we have here— it just was a tough existence," Hatfield said. "I think if you want to become as tough as the Hatfields and McCoys, you should do the 100 day challenge."
Roger Ford, Chairman of Sustainable Pike County and a descendent of the legendary McCoy clan, had similar thoughts to Hatfield's'.
"The idea of a 'healthy feud' will challenge participants to connect the history of the region with getting healthy. Our ancestors, on both sides of the Tug Fork, settled this region with true grit and determination. The region was rugged and it took a person who was physically fit to walk the hills here. They grew their own crops—growing corn and other staples on hillside farms—and carved out a better life here in the mountains. I'd say that the new 'healthy feud' will unite the Hatfield's and McCoy's, and rally others in our area, to succeed in walking 100 miles in 100 days."
The team's average mileage will be tracked on an online map of the Appalachian Trail. Different routes will be mapped out, and it will show progress throughout the program. For example, for those aiming to walk 100 miles, on a map they will be walking to about Bland County, Va. For more competitive teams that will be amassing more total miles, they can walk as far as New York (600 miles) or further north towards Maine.
U.S Senator Joe Manchin, said that as West Virginia's former Governor and now as a U.S. Senator that he "encourages fellow West Virginians to lead healthy lifestyles – to eat right, exercise regularly and make smart choices."
"I am very pleased that this friendly walking competition is coming to southern West Virginia," Senator Manchin said. "Anytime that you bring culture and outdoor recreation together, while also promoting team development and community fun, it is definitely a win-win. Have fun and start walking!"
On Sept. 2nd, a week before the program starts, Pikeville will be hosting the Hatfield and McCoy Heritage Festival, which will feature a Ruff and Tuff, Cuss obstacle course. Patrece Beverly, the Health Education Coordinator of the Pike County Health Department said, "The festival will be a great way for people to kick off the program, and to get excited for the healthy feud."
However, Beverly said that even if you're not participating in the Hatfield and McCoy heritage festival's obstacle race in Pikeville, but still want to try your luck at a fitness event this fall, you should still try the Hatfield and McCoy "100 miles in 100 days healthy feud challenge."
"It's a great way to start getting your recommended 30 minutes of daily physical activity and it doesn't hurt to throw in some friendly competition. You may be literally walking in the footsteps of some Mingo/Pike County legends," Beverly said.
A minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 people are suggested to form a team for the competition. Teams must register by Friday, September 6th. Registration forms can be found at participating county agencies, or you can register online by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com including your team name, team captain and the team captain's email address. Instructions for online registration will be emailed back to you. At the end of the program, once each individual has completed their 100 miles, they can receive a commemorative t-shirt for only $6.
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky also supports the 1st Annual Hatfield & McCoy: A Healthy Feud, and said "it will be a great competition."
"It is one in which I know Kentuckians — and our rival parties in West Virginia — will want to participate. Walking 100 miles (four times the length of the Big Sandy) in 100 days is a great goal. Good luck and get moving," said Representative Rand Paul.
For questions, or to become part of the healthy feud, e-mail email@example.com, call 304-235-3400 or visit www.mingodiabetes.com or http://www.sustainablepikecounty.com/.

South Florida's total merchandise with the rest of the world has more than doubled over a decade from $49.70 billion in 2002 to an historic record of $112.82 billion in 2011.
