We at C.A.I.B.C are proud of the facilities available to club members and casual visitors alike. The Jim Baker Stadium boasts twelve full size rinks and regularly plays host to parties of bowlers from around the province, be they outdoors, short mat, complete novices or confirmed stadium enthusiasts.
Since it was created in 1985, the stadium has staged a number of Tournaments including Irish Masters Pairs and World Bowls Tour Singles events.
Some organisations stage annual events here, and many outdoor and short mat clubs choose our facilities for an end of season visit and/or prize night, during which they enjoy a game, meal and refreshments (menu available to download below). Such is the welcome they receive they return year after year.
Throughout the week there is an assortment of league matches; mixed pairs, mixed triples, mixed fours, ladies' fours, mens' fours, and a veterans (mens) fours league. There is also a 'fun bowls' morning.
The Building was not purpose-built and was originally an Equestruan Centre. Visitors should not be misled by the rather quaint exterior for the Jim Baker Stadium boasts superb facilities second to none!
We have two Greens, each with six playing rinks; at maximum capacity we can facilitiate ninety six bowlers. Green No.1 was completed at the opening of the stadium in 1985. This green has just been completely refurbished. Already it is drawing favourable comments from all bowlers who have used it.
Green No.2 was completed in 1998; it is famously slick and true - one of the best in Britain.
The Members' Area, Viewing Area and McConkey Function Room enable the Club to have a social aspect to cater for the needs of both members and visiting user groups.
The stadium has Ladies' and Gents' Changing and Toilet facilities.
We encourage and facilitate Elderly and/or disabled Bowlers but as yet we have no lift facility. We feel we must remedy this.
There is a specially adapted 'Disabled' toilet and reasonable access to the Green for wheelchair users.
It's an ideal venue for all your needs, whether you're young or not so young; male or female; new comer or 'expert'; short mat, outdoor or stadium player; a small party or even a whole club!

It's reported Wolfsburg are prepared to pay €20m for Roma and Italy forward Pablo Daniel Osvaldo.
The striker is on the transfer list after a series of problems with management, club chiefs and the fans.
So far he has been linked with Southampton, Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Valencia and Napoli among others, but turned down all offers.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Bundesliga side Wolfsburg have now come forward with a €20m proposal to sign Osvaldo.
They are also offering a contract worth €2.8m per season.
Osvaldo has earned a recall to the Italy side for the friendly against Argentina on August 14 [12], as he was dropped for the Confederations Cup after insulting then-Roma Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli.

PINE GROVE — State police are investigating the vandalism of a high school football locker room that apparently took place during a game
Newswatch 16 talked with one of the player's parents.
The football game Friday was between Pine Grove Area and East Juniata. It was played at the Midd-West football field in Snyder County.
Kelly Heim the mother of football player Ryan was in the stands.
"I know there were bottles thrown at cheerleaders, I know there were bottles and food thrown at band members. I know our cheerleaders were uncomfortable. There were some very inappropriate things being said to our cheerleaders."
State police say while the game was being played, someone was in the Pine Grove locker room.
"I know a lot of boys, their wallets were gone through, cash was stolen, drivers licenses were stolen, phones were smashed."
Heim says the vandals put cell phones and other electronic devices in the showers and turned on the water. That's why she spent the weekend trying to dry her son's cell phone and iPod.
"Instead of celebrating, their victory was taken away from them."
Mike Janicelli is the principal at Pine Grove Area High School.
"It's very unfortunately that events like this take place during an athletic event that takes away from the participation of the student athletes on the field."
Pine Grove's athletic director says he's not surprised at the vandalism and thefts.
"One of the things that concerns me and the fact that we're talking about it is and spreads out to other places. 'Hey, they did that. We can do this' and it becomes funny to them without realizing how hurtful and harmful it is to the person," said athletic director Scott Dimon.
East Juniata officials referred us to Midd-West, where the game was played. Midd-West says it is investigating.
State police are asking for the public's help in solving the crime. Contact state police at Selinsgrove at 570-374-8145 if you have any information.

We must surmise as to the location of this school. The building that was later called the Millerton School was some distance away from the river. The old Walker school was nearby but my source calls it the Millerton School. School was held in the old Millerton Courthouse, so close to the river that the base was lapped by the flood of 1867. Further research or information sent in by one of our readers may disclose the actual location of the Millerton School at this date.
While Camp Barbour was the headquarters of the troops, three men died in the line of duty. Other soldiers died during the following years of occupation and were buried on the slope above the hospital outside the fort quadrangle. For many years before the fort was finally sold in 1866, the civilian population from Millerton and the surrounding hills preferred to be buried on the high ground rather than in the cemetery across the river.
Judge Hart allowed the continued use of the cemetery after he came into possession of the land. The first civilian burial was a Methodist minister who came to Millerton about 1858 and died of a hopeless disease. Francis Steddum, who is often referred to as a baby in later histories, was about 30 years old when he died. He was buried under the oak tree and in 1925 this grave was still marked by a white monument. I recall from previous research, the record of which I do not now have, that he was murdered.
Sgt. McKenzie's remains were removed and now lies buried with his wife, their children, and her second husband and their son at the Catholic portion of Mountain View Cemetery in Fresno.
Jefferson Shannon Ashman, son of the Sheriff Scott Ashman and his wife, Elizabeth Baley, was buried at the fort. He was born November 5, 1861, and died December 1, 1962. His ashes now lie with his mother and father in a Fresno columbarum. Another baby Mary Ellen, daughter of J. E. and M. H. Sherrard, passed away April 24, 1870, a little over a year old. Her parents were both school teachers in the foothill district. Four-year-old Charles Payne, son of Theodore J. and Julia Payne, died at Fort Miller on March 30, 1873. Until the discovery of this record by the research of Roberta Badger and Muriel Wardlaw, I had no reason to believe Payne had marital ties and certainly no knowledge of children. Theodore J. Payne (murdered) and William Henry Crowe (murdered) were both buried in the cemetery.
After the flood of 1867 obliterated the Millerton Cemetery across the river and before the Odd Fellows Cemetery was started in 1872, all the burials around Fort Miller and Millerton were in the military cemetery. Over the years, families have since removed members from there to other cemeteries. Fires had burned off the wooden markers and in spite of the strong fence that Judge Hart had erected around the cemetery, traces of most of the graves had disappeared by the time the Department of the Interior removed all the graves they could find. Before the dam was finished, there was little left to identify. There must be many graves of our earliest pioneers still under the waters of Lake Millerton as few of the many burials alluded to in earlier writings were removed to the resituated cemetery at Winchell's Cove.

Students at various State University of New York campuses across the state are expected to hold rallies and teach-ins this afternoon to protest state cuts to higher education.
"Wall Street gets bailed out and students get tuition increases," said Jackie Hayes, a State University at Albany graduate student who helped organize the protests.
New York Students Rising, which was established this past summer, planned today's protests, which were publicized by The Occupied Wall Street Journal, the newspaper of the protesters who have been gathering on Wall Street in recent weeks.
They are trying to focus public attention on what they say is the special treatment corporations have received during the financial crisis.

This is exactly why I thought it was foolish to resign this guy. When is this FO going to wise up? They cry about not having any money to go after players like Beltran and then pi** it way on a guy who routinely spends half a season on the DL.
Like to give him the benefit of the doubt but I see Fausto/Roberto part two here. One good season and the second half of that one he tailed off. Since then pedestrian at best.
Hopefully his ERA will be something better than atrocious or the Tribe is in big trouble.
Guzman makes no sense. We already have about 10 utility infield prospects. How many can one team keep? Of course he is already pre-injured so he fits in with the other misfit toys we have signed to minor league contracts.
That is the exact same comparison I have been making for LaPorta. He is Marte re-incarnated. A lot of hype and nothing to back it up. They are both AAAA players who will never live up to their promise.
Where? In Akron.
Interested? What does that mean? Interested if he would play for free.
Didn't like the trade then and I am still skeptical. Reminds me too much of Fausto/Heredia. One good season, actually half a season. The rest is .500 at best. Maybe the prospects they gave up will not turn out to be great either, but I have little faith that Jimenez we even turn out to be what the FO thinks he will be.
Amen brother. His glove can win them some games as well as his OBP.
Check here to get details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Kosar There were draft choices involved.
I don't think they traded anything. Somehow he was part of a supplemental draft I think because he graduated early. Don't remember how the Browns got the draft rights. For some reason I think there was some competition with the Bills. Maybe it was a coin flip.
I agree with Acta's assessment regarding the lefty/righty thing. There are way more right handed starters and if you score enough early left handed situational pitchers will make only minor differences.
Also I like the point about Kotchman not striking out a lot. That is a rally killer.
I agree that La Porta promises to be an even bigger bust than Andy Marte considering what we gave up to get him.
I surprised they got a deal done with anyone. At the least he is a good glove and the defense can use all the help it can get. Would like to see more power but at least he isn't a strike out machine. I consider it an upgrade but certainly not enough to close the gap between the Tribe and Tigers.
I think this guy has a better upside than any of the major league retreads they have signed to minor league contracts with an invite to spring training. If he doesn't pan out he didn't cost much. Also he can be sent down for more seasoning and still be a realistic future MLB roster player at his age so it isn't a high risk transaction.
I can't find fault with this pick up. This guy still has a shot to grow rather than being a has been or never was who is trying to hang on. And the price was right. What's not to like. Let's face it there aren't going to be any big name signings for this off season. This transaction seems to be a low risk one with some upside potential at least.
This from Scouting Book.com
A late-blooming right-handed bat who rose to attention last year as the International League (AAA) MVP while a member of the Tampa Bay system, Russ Canzler was acquired by Cleveland in the off-season. Originally drafted the Cubs back in 2004, Canzler is a versatile player who can handle any corner position, infield or out, though he's performed best as a first baseman to date.
With a good all-around grasp of the game, Canzler is no slouch, but buyer beware: that award-winning 2011 (.314/.401/.530) he enjoyed with the Durham Bulls was his best at any level of professional play, bolstered in large part by an improved walk rate, but he still struck out almost exactly once per game. Still, as a poor man's Matt LaPorta, he's ready for MLB and could provide some much-needed support for a battered Indians offense.
I forgot to mention that Pena is an excellent fielder. LaPorta not so much.
Granted Pena strikes out a lot and his batting average is not impressive but he has hit 28 HRs in each of the past two seasons with 80 plus RBIs in both of those seasons. Those numbers are two years of production for LaPorta who will never approach those averages in his ML career. Another Andy Marte who is a AAAA stud and MLB bust.
Unfortunately you are right. They have no motivation to sell so it will be the status quo, much to the chagrin of Tribe fans.

THAT, is what gets me. He never seemed to show an ounce of remorse or guilt for his part in getting her to do something so dangerous and that she was uncomfortable with, not to mention leaving her when you're not supposed to leave your buddy. Well, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, so that shows remorse and responsibility, but his other actions seem to show the opposite. I just really don't like this guy....
I think they meant to the point of a jury deciding. I was a bit puzzled with the judge making the decision to drop the charges, but the option to do so is there for a reason, and the fact that judges don't do it often shows that it is not abused. I think the judge was pretty clear when he said "we do not know what happened underwater, we may never know", and some other statements, that he is basically saying there is not enough hard admissible evidence to take this forward. So it isn't necessarily him "deciding" that Watson is innocent or guilty, it's applying the law. I would have a lot more respect for Troy King if he simply said "Although I think Watson is guilty and deserved to go to court for what he did, I understand the judge followed the law as he saw best and I respect it", or something to that effect.
I am assuming that Judge Nail is right when he ruled a lot of those things as hearsay or inadmissible? It sounds right to me, but the fact that the prosecution thought they could introduce it makes me wonder if it's not that clearcut, and more based on the individual statement and the judge deciding it. Regardless, reasonable doubt was most definitely not met. I still don't see him as an innocent victim though.
Not to mention demanding (and having his lawyer ask for) their wedding gifts so soon after Tina's death. I know there is nothing wrong with that, they are his, but how insensitive....
I know what kind of country I DONT want to be. The kind where a married couple has to choose between having sex or having unwanted children (possible adding burden to the welfare system) because Rick Santorum doesn't like contraception. It's not just single, promiscuous people who use it, ya know. I'm happy for Rick that he can afford 5 or 6 kids, but not everyone can. And unless I'm imagining things, something tells me he wouldn't let me abort the fetus, and wouldn't like me adding to the welfare rolls.
And even if I am single and promiscuous, that is my right. I don't need Rick Santorum insinuating that how many people I sleep with is wrong enough for him to LEGISLATE a law for it. What has this country become that in the year 2012 we actually arguing issues as antiquated and old-fashioned as the appropriateness of BIRTH CONTROL? Good luck in the general election, Rick. You better hope the majority of American women voters are not sexually active.
You may be right, but I don't see you doing much different. Your posts always insinuate everyone else's stupidity, that is insulting as well. Why not set an example? How about we all stop the name calling and insults. I am guilty of it myself, but I have taken some time away from posting and tried to calm down, I recommend some of you try to do the same.
I know some of you (The Devil Made Me Nuts and Church of Latterday Looniness, Im looking at you) who will read this and not comprehend or even attempt to understand in any way, so know this post is not directed at you.
To the rest of you, I know I have gotten in some testy exchanges with you and I apologize, there are just certain aspects of what I'm seeing in this message board that have made me angry at times and caused me to say things I wouldn't normally say. Let me clarify my position.
After the first day or so after this trial started, I found the article by the scuba expert explaining his theory of Tina's death, and also read other articles, and came to the conclusion that I think Gabe Watson almost likely did not murder his wife. I definitely knew, that unless the prosecution had new evidence that we weren't aware of, that there would not be a conviction.
However, what I am pretty sure of, and have never wavered on, is that Watson seems like a bad person. A coward. Insensitive. Selfish. I've stated my reasons a million times, but let me reiterate:
- his wife had expressed panic and doubts about wanting to dive (according to their Alabama instructor, her family, and friends) yet he seemingly guilt-tripped her or persuaded her to do so anyway. The fact that (as many Watson supporters point out over and over) scuba diving is dangerous really makes me think Watson is a selfish jerk for coercing his wife to do that. His response to her father that "if she wants me to do things she likes, she has to do things I like" sounds like a dumb and selfish stance considering the "thing he likes" is dangerous. Correct me if Im wrong, but I dont believe Tina made him do any activities that were dangerous or scared him, for the reason that she liked them.
- He didnt have the guts to tell her family till a day later that she was dead. Even then, he had his father tell them
- He promised Tina's father to accompany her body home, but didn't, reportedly due to an earache. Maybe he is truthful that his earache wouldn't allow him, but even the expert scubadiver that supports him (Michael whatever) seems to think most likely he didn't have the guts to face Tina's father at the airport.
- He repeatedly removed all flowers and cards from her family from her grave. Please don't argue this one. It was caught on video. He lied to the authorities about doing it until they caught him on video. It was NOT because the cemetery told him to, as someone said. He was taking them repeatedly before they were attached or bolted, and her family began to attach and bolt them to avoid them being removed by him. He continued to remove them with boltcutters. I can accept the possibility that he did this out of hurt and anger at being accused by her family. I don't agree, but its possible. I don't understand why he left her grave unmarked for 6 years, as stated in a couple articles I read.
- The strange inappropriate comments to her friends and family. Such as "at least her boobs are perky", "you have to understand I already grieved in Austraila, Im over it", "this funeral is about me, not you", etc.
- the way he treated Tina before marriage. Most of this is hearsay comes from Tina's family and friends, but there have been several things Ive seen and heard that support what they say as true (they were telling the truth about the flowers, notice her best friend mentioned her seeking a relationship with her friend's cousin in Atlanta, which led to Gabe finally proposing, etc).
All these things alone can be excused away, but together they seem to paint a picture of a selfish, uncaring man. There is a big difference between being innocent, and being a victim. I have always agreed that he was no murderer and have never taken issue with anyone who said so. What has bothered me a lot is seeing comments painting him as a victim. In particular, the ones who insult Tina's family (and even Tina herself, thankfully only one disturbed person seems deluded enough to do that).
I agree that they are wrong about him being a murderer. But like I've said a million times, his predicament is not their fault. He raised suspicions early on, before Tina's family even knew she was dead. The cops suspected him, his fellow divers suspected him. They were wrong, but it was NOT Tina's family's fault that he was suspected and tried. This was their daughter. She died accidentally, but in his care and due to his request that she do this activity. I guess I don't understand how some of you can not have compassion for that. Instead, I see a lot of compassion and well wishes for a man who deserves none. He deserves to be free, but I dont see why he deserves anything more. He was a selfish coward. It seems he is even smart enough to realize that, based on his plea in Australia to 18 months. So why some of you don't realize that, I just don't get.
I made it even easier for you, your geniusness! Here is the article that talks about the stuff you have now stated TWICE is a lie: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24713499/
Expert witnesses who are angry? Who? Are you referring to her father and friend? Do you know the difference between a witness and an expert witness? Never mind, I know the answer to that. Sigh... Why do I bother.....
Your know it all attitude is annoying. You keep posting that link over and over like as if you discovered it. Do me a favor, do a search on here for that link, you will see that I posted that here at the beginning of the trial, and many people read it. The fact that you keep posting it OVER AND Over really doesn't bother me, as I agree it's informative, but I find it hilarious how you are acting like you are somehow smarter than everybody considering you came into this pretty late, not even knowing that people already had that info and were discussing it. Sorry to burst your "I'm do obnoxiously smart" bubble....
As usual around here, you are "conveniently" wrong, Watson tried to pull the crap that they were lying, until lo and behild, he was caught on video by police doing exactly what the Thomas's said he did: trashing his dead wife's unmarked grave. Not to mention, it has been testified to AND reported that police, two of his fellow divers, an Tina's best friend were ALL suspicious of him before Tina's family got involved ! Do NOT blame this on the Thomas! Unlike Gabe, they have not been caught in a lie not once!!!!! I am sick of repeating this basic and obvious information to the people on here, are there no comprehension skills in the state of Alabama?
No, but it does make you an incompetent coward. Yet some people on here pretend like he's a saint of some sort, or a poor little victim. He's not, he is.... Wait for it.... AN INCOMPETENT COWARD!
I post the truth. I have from the beginning. He is not a murderer , he is a selfish coward. Care to point out how I'm wrong? Instead of making up nicknames to avoid having to argue facts with anyone? Idiot.
By the way, since what I said about him is so illegal and libelous, should I bring charges against you for slandering MY NAME, and constantly insulting me? Or does the first amendment only apply to you, TheDevilMadeMeDoIt?

Once again, your an idiot Bham. Since your too lazy to do any research, I'll give you a little nudge. Here is a link that talks about the dateline episode where a lot of this stuff about Gabe being a controlling jerk came out:
I read the transcript of the episode a couple weeks ago, and read everything about the engagement ring and him hanging up on Tina when she would say I love you to her father while on the phone with Gabe. I do not remember reading that his mom said something bad about Tina, but considering everything else the poster said is true, I wouldn't doubt that they did read that somewhere and maybe I missed. I have high hopes That maybe you will learn your lesson and do some research before posting TWICE that someone is a liar. Just because it isn't on al.com doesn't mean the info doesn't exist!

Her dad is a man distraught over this coward's lack of backbone and decency. The only sad figures here are the fools like you who get a kick over trashing a dead young woman and her family. I dont agree that this was murder, but I dont blame Tina's family for wanting answers from this douchebag sub human filth. Have you people been listening to anything he said or did? Forget abOut the murder charges for once. He made Tina do a dangerous sport even after she had panic attacks and was reluctant to dive. When her father expressed concern to Gabe, he selfishly answered that if she wanted him to do stuff she liked , she would have to do stuff he liked. The difference is, I'm sure the things she liked to do weren't LIFE THREATENING and didn't involve him doing something that caused him to have panic attacks! On top of that, he lets a full day go by before even letting her family know she's dead, even then he doesnt have the guts to do it himself! The list of jerk behavior by this guy goes on and on, frankly I'm sick of typing it. If you know how to read you already know all the stuff this jerk did, although for some reason you all seem to ignore it. You people voraciously defend this loser who let his wife die by being a coward, yet you attack a grieving fathe who is angry over the unnecessary death of his child? Do you really not see how wrong that is?
No genius. It isn't made up. Everything The poster said was stated in a dateline episode by Tina's friends and family. Im sure your then going to try and argue that they made the whole thing up, but need I remind you people said the same thing about the flower incident (including Gabe), UNTIL his dumb self was caught on camera doing it! I'm getting really tired of correcting people who come along trashing Tina Thomas and her family, while they obviously don't know a damn thing about this case. Can you people a least do some damn research before you oh so haughtily accuse others of lying?
Lol, oh man that made me laugh out loud.
Thank you for having kind words for Tina's family. I keep trying to tell people on here that however you feel about this case, it is subhuman to insult her or her family. I will never understand how anyone can do something like that. It is possible to believe in his innocence without trashing a dead young woman or her parents who will never get her back.
Yes, that is exactly what happened. When she panicked she breathed faster and more air then the regulator could supply, causing her to pass out .Once she passed out, she was no longer consciously closing her mouth around the regulator, therefore letting water in and drowning her. Horrible way to die....

Apostolic nuncio to USCCB: be pastoral, not ideological.
Grant Gallicho November 11, 2013 - 1:09pm
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops prepares to elect its next president, the apostolic nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, delivered a remarkably pointed address urging bishops to be "pastoral," not ideological.
Pope Francis, Vigano said, "wants bishops in tune with their people." The pope
is giving us by, his own witness, an example of how to live a life attuned to the values of the gospel. While each of us must take into consideration our adaptability to the many different circumstances and cultures in which we live and the people whom we serve, there has to be a noticeable life style characterized by simplicity and holiness of life. This is a sure way to bring our people to an awareness of the truth of our message.
Vigano quoted liberally from Pope Paul VI's Evangelii Nuntiandi, which, he noted, Francis has called "the greatest pastoral document written to date." It was promulgated in 1975.
"The first means of evangelization," Paul VI wrote,
is the witness of an authentically Christian life, given over to God in a communion that nothing should destroy and at the same time given to one's neighbor with limitless zeal. As we said recently to a group of lay people, 'Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers. and if it does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.'"
That witness, Vigano suggested, is what's required in order to carry on the work of Vatican II.
Vigano also cited John Paul II and John XXIII to highlight the constant "call to attentiveness, watchfulness, and preparedness for whatever proclaiming the gospel may mean for us as successors of the Apostles, who were called to give radical witness to their faith in Jesus Christ."
Noting that American culture is marked by a diversity of views, Vigano observed that "this is also true of the church." But, he warned, "we must take care that, for us as a church, this diversity does not grow into division through misinterpretation or misunderstanding, and that division does not deteriorate into fragmentation."
In conclusion, Vigano mentioned an article describing the past half-centuray of U.S. politics. Its subtitle: "The era of polarization began as Americans lost confidence in their leaders."
"Well said," Vigano continued, "since the Catholic Church will preserve her unity and strength as long as its people have trust in their bishops."
Commenting Guidelines
The alleged quote from Wojlyta is interesting. Putting it into the context of the Soviet threat as some have done might explain it.
But I am curious about the source of the quote itself. Googling turns it up everywhere, but nobody provides a verifiable citation (perhaps from a journal or news article from 1976 or shortly following). Wikiquotes has it on the JPII page, but of all the quotes provided there, it is the only one that is called "unsourced".
Does anyone have a primary source for this quote? Is it real or is it an urban legend?
I found a copy of the address given by Wojtyla at the Eucharistic Congress in 1976 in Philadelphia. The document can be found at the EWTN website and carries this information - " Taken from:
L'Osservatore Romano
Weekly Edition in English
26 October 1978, page 8
This address does not include the quote cited by the papal nuncio. So where did this quote come from? Is it a real quote at all? It has gone viral in Catholic cyberspace.
The four sources of morality are: Scripture, Revelation, Reason and Human Experience.
If you want to claim "authority" as your ultimate source, as the Magisterium and their interpretation of Scripture and Revelation, Reason and Human Experience, then this is the weakest of moral methods. The Church does not profess to adhere to a particular moral method to determine the morality of voluntary human action, but most would agree that they mostly follow the ethics of Thomas Aquinas, where there is no concensus of interpretations. Each school believes they are right.
In the end, a person has to use their God-given reason and faith, continuing education, prayer, sacrament, and the advice of their spiritual advisor to arrive at "moral" decisions. This is expecially relevant today because the Catholic Church is divided across the entire sensus fidelium (clergy, theologians/religous, non-theologian laity), and we live in a crisis of truth. We are divided as to abortion (e.g, to save the life of the mother when the fetus is not viable), contraception (e.g., NFP is not the only licit means of fertility regulation pleasing to God), reconcilation and Eucharistic reception for the divorced and remarried, same-sex unions that reflect a committed, faithful and long-term loving relationship, and the use of reproductive technologies for couples that have serious fertilty problems and can conceive a child of their own genes by modern methods.
As for Polls, they are only important to determine reception and problems. These problems must be adequately addressed and only a convincing theology that rings true to the deepest levels of one's mind, heart and soul will increase reception and illuminate truth. For the vast majority of Catholics the fundamentals of our faith is not in dispute. What is in dispute is certain moral teachings, in particular marital sexual ethics.
Thanks, Anne, I have been trying to run that down and have not had any luck. Probably worth a post.
The statement attributed to Cardinal Karol Wojtyla was not solely influenced by the mystic Ann Katherine Emmerich.
One of Karol Wojtyla's great spiritual role models as a young man was Jan Tryranowski, and accountant who finished high school but, for reasons of health, worked as a simple tailor at his father's shop. Tyranowski was a mystic who with the Church authorities devoted his spare time to working with young boys at the Krakow parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka. Tyranowski invited Karol into a religuous study group focused on building faith and character among young men. He introduced Wojtyla to mysticism and to a program of daily self-improvement and spiritual care. He taught Wojtyla self control and responsibility for his thoughts and actions. It was the spirituality of Tyranowski that Wojtyla as a young man made a choice between theather and the priesthood. By 2008, Jan Tyranowski was being considered for beatification and eventual sainthood in the Catholic Church.
There were many other people that influenced Cardinal Wojtyla/JP II. However, I cannot emphasize the importance of polish natiionalism, et al, during the 1930s-1950s, as I have explained earlier.
Later in life, as Cardinal and Pope, Karol Wojtyla was greatly influenced by Dr. Wanda Poltawska, a psychiatrist and survivor of the Ravensbrook Concentration Medical Experiments, and the source of much of his misinformation about human sexuality, Western Culure and women, as well as Dr. Ann-Teresa Tymieniecka, a Polish born aristocratic woman and philosopher.
It seems that the quote is supposed to come from "Notable and Quotable," The Wall Street Journal, November 9, 1978, page 30 (editorial page), which I was unable to access. I read that that source indicates that the then-Cardinal Wojtylamade this statement in his last speech during his visit to the U.S., in September 1976.
Anne Chapman:
The quote is not from the Eucharistic Congress but from the time when Wojtyla came to Philadelphia as Pope Oct 3,4 1979. It may have been at the outdoor Mass on the Parkway.
Anne C. --
Thanks for the research. I'm wondering now whether JP II ever said it at all. It does sound like a stronger statement than I'd expect from him. In my opinion some of the devotion to him is downright cultish, and members of cults are often not the best balanced people. Perhaps one of the screwyer JP II cultists misconstrued what he actually said in '76 and then repeated it "from memory" somewhere as a quotation. That sounds more likely to me than a direct quote.
Anne Chapman:
I want to correct my assumption that the quote came from Pope John Paul II's visit to Philadelphia as pope in 1979. I was influenced by a website (Children of Mary, an Emerging Semi-Contemplative Community of Sisters) that I visited that came up when I searched for the quote.
I got carried away, since I have a memory of that event, although I don't have a clue what he said in his homily. or any other address that he gave at that time. I was working in the archdiocesan office for religious education and was given two complimentary tickets to the Mass in one of the front seats. I gave then to my best friend and her mother who were thrilled to death. To be honest, it was not that big a deal for me. But...
I got myself a place in front of the statue of Kosciuszko near the Cathedral, since I figured he would pass there after the Mass and I could give him a wave. (Truth be told, he didn't look my way.)
"I read that that source indicates that the then-Cardinal Wojtyla made this statement in his last speech during his visit to the U.S., in September 1976."
Not all the references to the quote (and there are more thatn I would ever have expected) are specific as to the date in 1976. One source I read puts the quote on November 9, 1976. Could it be that he adressed the bishops at the annual November meeting of the USCCB? Perhaps that is why Vigano quoted it even though he was not correct that it was said at the Eucharistic Congress, which was August 1-8, 1976.
"If the moral truths asserted by the Church are shown to be the moral truths taught by Christ, then there is no "search for truth" that could upend them."
The big "if" is wherein lies a rather large rub.
Completely off topic, but anyone living in NYC, I just got an interesting e-mail about a Talking Transiton event this Saturday:
"Hi friends, maybe you've heard of this interesting project in Manhattan in which people are gathering to discuss what they want the future of the city to look like under a new mayor. Different constiuencies (housing advocates, senior citizens, pedestrians) are getting together to envision a different future. It's all happening in an open to the public, come by and speak your mind space downtown. There's a Catholic one on Saturday at 4.
Title: A Faithful Discourse – NYC Catholics Discern the Next Administration
Sponsor: The Jesuit Collaborative
One sentence description: Opening with a prayerful reflection, the session will consist of small group discussions on Catholic Social Justice teachings. Tables will focus on policy issues including: homelessness, housing, education, health, and workforce development using the recent messages from our current Pope on those in the margins of society.
When: The date for the session is November 16th beginning at 4:30
Where: The Transition Tent (a structure created just for these events) is located at the corner of 6th Ave and Canal Street.
In their own words: "TALKING TRANSITION will pioneer the first "open" transition in New York City. It will transform the usual closed-door process between Election Day and Inauguration into an opportunity for broad public engagement. Thousands of New Yorkers will join public conversations about policy issues, ideas, and questions that affect their communities."
Ann O, I find the quote to be slightly off - the kind of thing that flies around the web, but turns out to be a misquote of some kind. That's why I am looking for an original source.
Here is a link to all of John Paul II's talks/speeches/homilies in the 1979 visit to the US.
The quote is not found in the address to the bishops in 1976, either.
I have tried to find the reference to the Wall Street Journal quote and can't find it in the Nov 9, 1979 nor in the Nov 9, 1978 issue -both dates are referenced by third party sources.
I will keep looking when I have time. Finding the source of this quote seems too elusive - if it is an accurate quote.
John Paul II needs a website, like the one for Mother Teresa, to combat false quotes.
What a hoot if the nuncio is quoting something JPII never said!
I've been puzzling about how and why the apocalyptic note was sounded here. I suspect the reason is political, because it's certainly not logical. There are people who take an extreme view of the dangers we face as a church. The party of extreme anxiety about President Obama for instance takes an apocalyptic view of this presidency. Hasn't Cardinal George predicted that he will die in jail for his faith? We are mounting "fortnights for freedom" because some bishops are deeply anxious, and feel desperately threatened. Anyway, the point is that the prophets of doom are alive and well and right there among the bishops. So, after praising Pope Paul VI, whose role in implementing Vatican II has made him a villian among traditionalists and their natural allies, Vigano probably felt he had to throw them a bone.
I find the JPII quote, if authentic, appalling. We'll all die of the sea rising before we'll see the sort of thing he purportedly warned us about. Fear mongering legitimates a more inflexible use of authority, and suppresses dialogue. It also leaves us with "the boy who cried wolf" when the wolf actually shows up at our door.
Nothing could be more different from fear-mongering than Paul VI's brilliant post-synodal exhortation, Evangelii nuntiandi. It breathes an entirely different spirit.
With a little help from my friends, I've tracked down the quote. It appeared in the "Notable & Quotable" section of the Wall Street Journal on November 9, 1978. But the Journal itself cites another source, an "interim strike newspaper" called the New York City News. The speech is identified as "his last speech in the United States in September 1976."
Grant, you beat me to it. I was just going to provide that information. So far I have looked in vain for both the "interim strike newspaper" (New York City News) and for Wojtyla's "final speech" in September 1976. Was he really still in the USA in September, given that he gave the speech at the Eucharistic Congress which was held during the first week of August, 1976. According to the document on the EWTN site, he gave the speech on August 3 and the Congress ended on the 8th. Perhaps he continued to travel in the US for another month, but I can't find information about it.
Curiouser and curiouser.
FYI: Anne and Grant:
July 23-Sept.5 Visit to the United States and Canada.
I bet the archives of the Catholic Standard and Times under editor John Foley has a lot of information.
"Before becoming pope in 1978, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla visited the United States twice. In 1969 he traveled to 12 cities in 12 days. He spent six weeks in the United States in 1976, visiting 13 cities, lecturing at universities and attending the 41st International Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia."
"Although toiling in the shadow of the more prestigious daily newspapers, Hagedorn has had a fling as a big-time publisher. During the three-month newspaper strike in 1978, the City News expanded to a daily paper with a circulation of over 300,000, the largest interim paper in New York."
Anne: the communist who dies in September 1976 was Mao Zedong.
I never doubted the quote attributed to Cardinal Wojtyla/JP II for it reflected his thinking.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that Karol Wojtyla-John Paul II was not an extreme liberal or conservative, not an enemy of feminism nor a supporter of it, and not a blind advocate of democracy nor someone who entirely rejected it. He was a liberal Catholic bishop during Vatican II, liberal in terms of social ethics and ecumenism, but a strong conservative in terms of sexual ethics.
As bishop and cardinal there is much to admire in Karol Wojtyla. He helped free Poland from communism and his theology offered Catholics a way to act reverently with respect to their bodies and relationships. Nevertheless, his philosophy and theology were not free from serious misunderstandings about the world, especially Western societies, women and human sexuality.
Helen and Claire, we're getting there.
Does whoever finds an original source giving the date, place, and audience of the talk win a prize?
Michael, I'm sure you are right, because you know more about John Paul II than anyone I know of, including, probably, the professional bloggers on this website. But, it's still a strange quote and I would love to read it in context of whatever talk he gave.
On Monday, November 18, a vial of the blood of John Paul II will go on display at Saint Mary's Cathedral in Peoria, IL. I hope this does not mean that he is the new San Gennaro, and that the festival in Little Italy in NYC will be discontinued.
As hard as it is to believe, wonders never cease!
Anne and Helen and Grant -- thanks for all the sleuthing
Claire -- thanks for the Mao Tse-Tung date. I was really muddled on that one.
Alan -- let's hope the blood and all the sainly left-over corpses eveentually all get buried. Ugh!!!
US bishops again reaffirm health care mandate opposition
From NCR. See also Whispers in the Loggia.
A statement unanimously approved by the US bishops at their meeting in Baltimore, but with a fleeting reference to each bishop's being free to grapple with the best approach in his diocese. Recipe for confusion, if not chaos? And the statement clearly evidences a hope for a solution to the bishops' continuing objections to the HHS mandate either in the Congess or the judiciary, religious freedom, including for individual Catholic business owners, being the paramount claim.
Perhaps this deserves a separate thread.
@Alan Mitchell. It can be a highlight at the annual fair at the shrine to Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown
(and the Feast of St Anthony in the Bronx is way better anyway)
As a student at Fordham, I always enjoyed the feast for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Could not get enough of those zeppoli.
@ Alan C. Mitchell: A totally personal reference: Back in the Jurassic period, I taught at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School right there on Bathgate Avenue. Some days if I close my eyes I can still smell the zeppoli and bread baking somewhere in the neighborhood.
"You can take the boy outta the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx outta the boy!"
Found this short video about the Mt. Carmel School, which is just one block across from Fordham University on Fordham Road, right next to George Washington High School. The school facilities look almost unchanged from when I was there. I noticed that students are much more ethnically diverse now than it was then dominated by Italian American kids.
As Brother John DeLucer would have said, this is for your edification: http://vimeo.com/62307497
Jim Jenkins,
Thanks for the video. Brought back memories.
In those days I lived at Murray-Weigel Hall on the corner of Bathgate and East Fordham Road. It was just a short trek to Arthur Avenue.
I remember the high school as Thomas Jefferson.
Jim Jenkins,
Strike that last sentence. I meant Theodore Roosevelt High S

I am 4'11"/32DD/118 lbs/hourglass/curvy/muscular to give you an idea. I gave it 4 starts due to weird sizing/cut. 11.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cjaby Best FP top ever!!! I was not wanting to pay the $88.00 for this so my husband bought it online for me! It is so worth every penny!!! The fit is generous but not oversized!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ecstasyBaby Sturdy lace tee Got this tee in black XS(FP usual size). Fit is a tiny bit loose but still looks great. The lace is more sturdy than pictured, and it would look great with shorts and jeans. This top is girly with a twist. I paired it with the FP variegated cord buttondown in fatigue and dark denim shorts. It's a simple look which got me compliments. One more thing: this tee is sheer/unlined, so wear a tank or bandeau bra underneath. 12.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by valskerie Pretty Rebel! I bought this lace tee in the black. It's so adorable and unique! I was concerned that it would be too fitted, but it hangs really nice, not too tight and plenty of length (for my usual size). It is not lined, so a cami, bandeau or slip is necessary. I've worn it with jeans, an animal print cardigan and studded flats; and I cannot wait to layer it over slips, leggings or tights with boots! So happy I bought this before it sold out. 9.28.2012

POCONO TOWNSHIP — While the snowfall caused some businesses to close and made driving treacherous, it also created a lot of excitement for people in the Poconos.
The inches of fresh powder covering the Poconos created the perfect playground for people wanting to head outdoors to enjoy the snow.
"This is what winter in the Poconos is all about!" said Robert Baldassari, the Director of Sales at the Inn at Pocono Manor.
Many people celebrated the snow by playing in it at the Inn at Pocono Manor near Mount Pocono.
"We started here and went up there then we went in circles" said Olivia Kortick of Yardley.
For Pocono Motor Sports, which runs the snowy activity at the Inn, the fact that people are signing up to enjoy snowmobiling through the snow is something they're grateful for.
"In the beginning of January, February, March season, we worked a total of four hours. Today, this is a gift from the Gods, to have snow the weekend of New Year's Eve, when the mountain should be packed," said Lance Mirkin, the owner of Pocono Motor Sports.
Some people weren't into enjoying the snow via snowmobile and opted to hit the ground instead by using snow shoes. For some folks, it was their very first time.
"It lets you stay on top of the snow. It should be fun, as opposed to getting your feet deep in the snow and wet," said Alex Qurnitzky of Philadelphia.
Another way to play in the snow is with some furry assistance. Dog sledding is also offered at the Inn at Pocono Manor. The tours take an hour as the dogs take guests over the river and through the woods.
If dog sledding isn't your thing, you can always strap on a pair of skis, which is exactly what one couple decided to do.
"I haven't skied since I was a kid. I was in Russia, and that was the last time we did cross-country skiing. That was a good experience, enough to try again." said Yelena Gorelik of New York.
"We wanted to enjoy the snow. We wanted to go cross-country skiing and we came right at the right time," said Paul Gelfand of New York.
By the looks of it, Mother Nature brought snow to the Poconos at the right time as well.

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 05/04/2012
Women with node–negative tumors have the lowest risk of loco–regional recurrence (LRR) and represent the group of patients that might benefit the least from radiotherapy. PVI and Ki–67 might help tailoring PMRT indications among patients with positive LNs. Finally, the very low incidence of recurrences in the axillary LNs raises questions about the inclusion of the axilla in the radiation field.
