Thomas Coury, MD, Named September 2009 St. Joseph Mercy Patient-Focused Physician of the Month
Start Date
Port Huron, MI…Thomas Coury, MD, was named the September 2009 St. Joseph Mercy Patient-Focused Physician of the Month. The St. Joseph Mercy Patient-Focused Physician of the Month award highlights a physician's commitment to working collaboratively to promote patient and community health through clinical excellence and patient-focused care. Physicians honored with this award must also be one whom St. Joseph Mercy Hospital staff and volunteers would recommend to family and friends in the community. Dr. Coury is a local surgeon, specializing in urology and provides care to patients through Urology Associates of Port Huron, PC. He was nominated for his unqualified professionalism, expertise and his patient care philosophy. "When my father was diagnosed with cancer, I wanted him to see the very best," comments his nominator. "Dr. Coury immediately identified several of his physician peers who he would like involved in my father's care. Because of their evident respect for Dr. Coury, each of these physicians was eager to help. He then squeezed my father into his busy schedule and took precious time to explain the disease process in easy to understand terms. My father is 80 years old and had numerous questions, all of which Dr. Coury was happy to answer in a kind and reassuring manner. I always knew Dr. Coury was a wonderfully skilled physician, so I didn't hesitate in my decision of who I would like to treat him. Not only did I refer one of the most precious members of my family to Dr. Coury, I would certainly do so again." "Dr. Coury is a terrific asset to our health care community," comments Peter Karadjoff, St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron (SJMPH) President and CEO. "His outstanding performance has been noted by those who work most closely with him and has been highlighted through his nomination. I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Coury for elevating the health status of our community and being a physician whom St. Joseph Mercy Hospital staff and volunteers would recommend to their family and friends." "I am honored by this nomination," comments Thomas Coury, MD. "This is the true reward for being a physician." The St. Joseph Mercy Patient-Focused Physician of the Month is designed to highlight outstanding collaboration between our physician community and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital patient care and volunteer staff. Nominations are accepted from all staff and volunteers, and are blinded and reviewed by a Nominations Review Committee. The award is presented each month to a physician on staff at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

During the past ten years, in an effort to improve data quality, there has been an increase in the use of questionnaire pretesting, prior to implementation. Various questionnaire evaluation techniques have been evaluated and the associated strengths and weaknesses have been identified (DeMaio et al, 1993; Esposito et al, 1992; Oksenberg et al, 1991; Presser and Blair, 1994). Some limited research has been conducted about the effectiveness of cognitive interviews in actually reducing questionnaire problems (Willis, 1996, Lessler et al, 1989). The objective of our research is to determine how well various question pretesting methods predict the types of problems that will actually be experienced in the field and to what extent the laboratory testing contributes to improved questions. In this research, multiple researchers in three research organizations conducted expert reviews, cognitive appraisals, and cognitive interviews on three survey instruments. A classification scheme was developed to code problems identified through all three methods. The questions identified as the most problematic were revised. Both the original and the revised questions were tested in an omnibus CATI/RDD survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Analysis of the field results are being evaluated using independent outcome quality measures. Comparing the results from pretesting with the results of the field study will determine how well the various pretesting methods identified the types of problems which surfaced during field testing. Comparing the results of the independent outcome quality measures from the field study for both the original and revised question wordings will tell us whether the revised question wording actually improved data quality.

This collection comprises about 550 books from the library of Hensleigh Wedgwood (1803–1891), an important philologist, grandson of Josiah Wedgwood and cousin and brother-in-law of Charles Darwin. The books were donated to the Mason College Library in 1892 by his daughter Frances Julia, a feminist novelist, biographer, historian and literary critic, who had nursed her father in his last years.
Wedgwood was educated at Rugby and then studied mathematics and classics at Cambridge, after which he read for the Chancery Bar and qualified as a barrister in 1828. However, he never practised, returning to Cambridge in 1829 to assume at first an appointment as a fellow of Christ's College. He then took posts in local government before resuming his career as a scholar, notably with his Dictionary of English Etymology (1859), a work which considerably advanced linguistic science. The copy of the 1878 second edition in this collection contains manuscript annotations of the new words that had been added, as well as a version of his text On the origin of language, printed here as an introduction.
In addition to the collection's numerous grammars, dictionaries and glossaries of ancient and modern languages from across the world, there are many rarities which reflect the range of Wedgwood's interest. Examples include:
Wedgwood also collected important books of:

(337) 482-6548
Professional Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Ridgeway took a rather circuitous route to her Ph.D. in political science from Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff, AZ. Her first twenty-year career was in film and theater in Los Angeles and New York. Her decision to enter the arts as a mechanism for political change was inspired by the Smothers Brothers who were willing to risk, and then lose, their very popular TV comedy show to challenge the rationality of the Vietnam War. These years in the arts continue to influence her view of how political change can come from the most unlikely of sources, but ultimately must rest in the people's willingness to fight for it. Her current research and teaching focus on how to create a sustainable environment that can support life for all of Earth's entities, and the role of media in shaping how we perceive issues swirling around the public square. She is currently finishing a book, The Talking Stick, which examines how corporate-led globalization is destroying the environmentally friendly indigenous and peasant cultures around the world. Her most recent peer-reviewed publication is in the international journal, Peace Review, "Globalization from the Subsistence Perspective." She continues to hold the dream of a planetary consciousness in which peace and joy are the highest values.

McKinzie Hall is a recent transplant in the Bayou from Texas (with a brief stop up north). Kinzie's teaching interests are the US courts and law, various aspects of American government, and research methodology. Her research focuses on the effect Supreme Court decisions have on the actions of institutions (primarily, the Court itself and the other branches of government). These research projects have been funded by the National Science Foundation and the American Association of University Women. When she's not working or nerding out over a recent SCOTUS decision, Kinzie really enjoys Netflix marathons...and an occasional actual marathon/half marathon (mostly to offset her deep love of cupcakes). Kinzie lives in Lafayette, with her husband Will (UL alumnus '05) and their amazingly fuzzy dog Beau.

text: This course focuses on applying marketing principles to customer segments in cultural environments other than your own. Studying their needs and preferences, adjusting product attributes to meet their tastes, introducing services that fit their expectations, and other similar customized treatments are effective steps in cross-cultural marketing. Of particular importance, designing and executing a customized and integrated marketing communication program in this context is crucial. As a business expands internationally or penetrates another ethnic consumer segment, promotional messages should be carefully examined and perhaps re-crafted, and communication media be carefully selected to effectively reach the target audience.

Hi, I am happy to say, that I have found my soul mate :) God bless Shaadi.com!
R. Jha and A. Jha
We both (Alka and Rajendra) thank you all for bringing us together through your web site. We could find each other & tied knot on 8th March 2004. Our parents were looking for a nice partner for us but the problem was no one could match our aspirations. One fine day I met Mr. R. Kumar Jha on Shaadi.com who stays in Delhi. We started mailing each other everyday. He asked for my phone number, first I hesitated and then I gave it to him. He gave me a STD call to Mumbai on 15th December 2003 for the first time we talked and that conversation was enough to bring us together. On 16th December 2003 he asked for marriage to me and my answer was Yes and then we talked to our parents about it. On 8th February 2004 we got engaged to each other and within one month we got married and became one and that was 8th March 2004. And now he is every thing for me I could have never had found a life partner who understands me so much and care for me like any thing without your help. Thank you Shaadi team for making our two souls one. We wish you all the best for your work.

S. Mukherjee
I hope this finds you in the best of everything. Let me first confess that choosing to put myself on your pages was a difficult decision initially, because opting for the net as an answer to one's deepest personal needs takes some getting used to. Through the months that followed I met more people on your site than I ever would have socially. I also came to appreciate that a lot of thought goes into your planning, executing and, indeed, anticipating the needs of your clients to provide a more friendly and efficient service that many I know speak highly of. Speaking for myself, I recommend your site to every single eligible person I know! To answer your question about whether I have found someone through your site, well, of course I did! and most especially for giving me the best reason to smile,
A. Mehta

Neurostin Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Neurostin is a memory enhancing supplement sold online with a 30 day money back guarantee. The supplement claims to improve mental function, blood flow to the brain and memory. Online ordering is supported and company contact information is available for consumers who have questions about Neurostin.
List of Ingredients
L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine, Phosphatidylserine, Vinopocetine, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Green Tea, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin B5.
Product Features
There are times when a supplement will claim to support a certain function in the body, like memory, but also contain ingredients that could support other health related issues. Neurostin is marketed as a memory supplement, but contains green tea which is proven to increase metabolism and weight loss. Green tea has been thoroughly tested for a variety of benefits and thus taking a supplement for one condition may help to improve another.
Vitamins B6 and B12 are also important for the metabolism of fat into energy. Alpha Lipoic Acid is commonly used in weight loss supplements as an antioxidant to fight off free radical damage so cells can rejuvenate and recover after exercise.
Neurostin does not list how much of each ingredient is included in the supplement. This is a negative for the company, because more and more dieters and people choosing alternative therapies are researching supplements before buying. If there is not a complete ingredient list, the consumer may choose to go with another product that can be trusted.
Neurostin is sold with graduated pricing. Ordering more bottles means the consumer can take advantage of a cheaper price. One bottle, or one-month's supply, sells for $49.95. There is a 30 day money-back guarantee on Neurostin if a refund is requested within 30 days of the original order date.
- Neurostin contains green tea.
- A complete ingredient list is not published online.
- The product is created for use as a memory supplement.
- There could be very little green tea.
- Green tea is the only effective weight loss ingredient.
- No appetite suppressant is added to combat hunger.
- Weight loss information is not available from Neurostin.
Neurostin offers the advantages of green tea to people who want a supplement for memory support. Losing weight can be supported with green tea, but without knowing how much is included in Neurostin, the consumer is pretty much playing Roulette and hoping to choose a good supplement. For the $49.95 price tag, the consumer could choose from any number of weight loss supplements with effective amounts of green tea and other thermogenic ingredients. Consumers also have to worry about taking other supplements with Neurostin for weight loss. Green tea is a mild stimulant, so adding a fat burner into the mix could cause over stimulation.

On October 14th, when patch 3.0.2 descends, so does the achievement system, and with it, "Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart," the achievement for collecting 50 non-combat pets. The reward is of course, another non-combat pet, along with achievement points to help you feel 1337.
The Darkmoon Faire offers you the opportunity to easily and cheaply acquire three of the five frog pets in the game. While you'll have to shell out a bit of money, you might be able to make a profit in the end. For higher levels, the cost won't even be noticeable. Here is what you can acquire:
- [Wood Frog Box]
- [Tree Frog Box]
- [Unhatched Jubling Egg] that will transform into [A Jubling's Tiny Home] after one week.
The easiest frog to get at the Faire will be the Tree Frog. While you are enjoying the festivities, you might notice a small green orc child named Flik running around with his pet frog. If you can catch up to him, he'll sell you the frog for one gold, or less depending on your reputation with the Faire.
Congratulations! You now have a frog!
The second easiest frog to acquire is probably the Wood Frog. This is also sold by the small boy, but it is a semi-rare spawn. If you see one, snap it up quick! It is priced the same as the other frog, but is harder to get, especially if there are many players around. In fact, once you have one for yourself, it would be wise to stock up.
You are not the only one pursuing this achievement after all! Plan to sell your extra Wood Frogs before the patch, just after, or around the time of the expansion release on November 13th.
Preparation for the Jubling
The frog that is the most difficult pet to get will be your Jubling, although 'time-consuming' might be a better phrase to describe this acquisition.
Consider seeking a friend or guildmate with the [Direbrew's Remote] that drops from Coren Direbrew, a boss in Blackrock Depths that is only present during Brewfest. If you have your own remote, even better!
Bring at least 60 silver with you, and then hit the portal! I recommend making sure your hearthstone is not on a cooldown before you try this.
You'll arrive in an empty room adjacent to a room in the bar full of patrons. Enter this room, and run up the stairs to the second level, or platform. Run to the back of this area and look for a vendor with a red hat named Plugger Spazzring. He will sell you up to ten [Dark Iron Ale Mugs], and I recommend buying them all.
After you've browsed his wares, hearth home and head back to the Faire. You have everything you need to acquire your own Jubling egg that will hatch into your very own pet after one week.
The quest
Find Morja, a woman who may or may not have a blue question mark over her head. If you are having trouble locating her, click on Options (or hit the Escape key once), and select Interface.
Under the Game tab, select Names and make sure that NPC names has a check-mark next to it, then hit Okay. This will ensure that her name is displayed over her head.
If you find her and she does have a blue question mark over her head, you are in luck! Someone has recently lured her Jubling (JubJub) back to her and she is seeking some Dark Iron Ale in order to be able to lure him herself. In exchange for this, she is prepared to offer you one of JubJub's unhatched eggs. Simply give her the ale, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
If she has no quest above her head, you'll have to lure JubJub yourself. Good thing that you have your own stack of [Dark Iron Ale Mugs]! Simply plant one near her feet by clicking on it in your inventory and 'aiming' it where you want it to sit. Her pet loves this stuff, and should come hopping from wherever he's been exploring to lap it up.
Unfortunately, he does not always come on the first try, but he almost always shows up within three. Once he does, she will proclaim how much she missed him, and offer you the trade via the quest [Spawn of JubJub].
If you are a low level character who cannot make it through Blackrock Depths alone, and you have no friends with the remote, you might have to purchase the portal from someone else. Because it is on a one hour cooldown, you might have to pay. Another option is to scout the auction house for the drink.
On the other hand, if you can pop over there regularly, feel free to sell your extra brew on the auction house for others! Doing so might make you enough money to pay for the pets you purchased, and then some. Even if you can't make it back easily, you should have quite a bit of ale left over once you finish the quest.
In addition to listening to the songs of your new frog pets, you might want to stop by Blackrock Depths the odd time to pick up some more ale. Your Jubling just might have a hankering!

Ten Ways to Act Like an Unrepentant Cardinals Fan and BFIB
10. Clap for the other team.
Source Here's a hat with a bird on it. We assume she'd clap for the other team if they made a good play and looked like an honest, hard-working team player.
9. Have a crush (or man-crush) on at least one current player.
8. Wear your World Series ring at least once a year.
7. Be unafraid to say player's names in sexy ways ("Hollidaaay! Ow! Ow!") in crowded bars while everyone else is being relatively quiet.
6. Own a red sports blazer.

Restorelight is an anti-aging device which has been developed in the UK. However the company which has created Restorelight also ships to the United States and Canada. The official website for Restorelight tells us that it can reverse the signs of aging after several months use. We are told that it uses breakthrough scientifically proven light technology. The official website tells us that the Restorelight device works by emitting natural light which is on the same wavelength as sun light.
Product Details
The official website for Restorelight contains before and after pictures of those who have used the device. There are also details posted of a trial carried out using forty individuals and the Restore Light device. However this is certainly not the only anti-aging device for sale, which claims to be able to reverse the signs of aging using the emission of light. We are presented with no evidence to show why it is more effective than other similar light emitting devices for sale. We could not find price details on the official website for Restorelight and there was no offer of a free trial period of use of the Restorelight device. Although the official website gives contact details should you wish to contact those who have developed the Restorelight device, there does not appear to be a money back guarantee upon purchase. Devices such as the Restorelight device can be cumbersome to carry with you if you are travelling or going on holiday, and it is for this reason that some women prefer to use anti-aging creams. Anti-aging creams that contain peptide combinations such as Matrixyl have been shown to have an effect on aging.
The Good
- There is an official website for the Restorelight device.
- There are before and after photos posted on the official website of those who have already used this device.
- Contact details are given on the official website should you wish to contact some in the company that has developed the Restorelight device.
The Bad
- Anti-aging devices such as the Restorelight device can be cumbersome to carry with you if you are travelling or going on holiday.
- We could not find price details posted on the official website.
- There does not seem to be a money back guarantee upon purchase of the Restorelight device.
- We were presented with no evidence to show that the Restorelight device is more effective than other light emitting devices on the market and, in general, light emitting devices are treated with scepticism by the medical community.
The Bottom Line
The Restorelight device is not the only anti-aging light emitting device for sale on the market. We have no clinical evidence that it is superior to other devices and so cannot recommend it over and above other similar anti-aging devices for sale. Additionally, based on clinical study results we have seen, we have much more confidence in topical wrinkle fighting formulations.

If one sinner escape his full punishment God is unjust.
QuoteIf one sinner escape his full punishment God is unjust.That's the problem... Every sinner escapes his full punishment!!

I had been wanting this for quite a while and finally couldn't wait any longer. Ps 147:4 is one of my favorites
I love this necklace and Lisa
Leonard's products! Very happy with it and the quality!
Just what I wanted for a gift for a friend. Beautiful! Added a gem and a charm. Super cute!
I chose this pendant and added her initial and the smoky topaz for my granddaughter's Confirmation gift. I told her to never forget God is with her on her journey as she moves forward to high school and beyond. She was grateful for this gift and wears it daily. I do want to buy her a silver chain because I feel it will be more long-wearing.
Would like to buy the necklace. The chain is a litle danty for a man. Maybe something a much heavier to replace the chain for a mans wear. Help please.
As a Christian and a stargazer who sometimes feels a bit lost, as soon as I saw this necklace I knew I had to have it. The necklace is beautifully made, beautifully packaged and comfortable to wear and is now one of my favorite pieces.
I was thrilled to find this necklace for my granddaughter, as the scripture on it had special meaning for her. She tells me she wears it all the time!

JCW Sport Brake Kit Review
After upping the performance of my 2005 MCS (19% Pulley/GIAC/JCW Injectors/JCW CAI/Milltek Exhaust) and installing the JCW Suspension Kit (along with an ALTA 22mm rear sway bar), I was finding that I was beginning to seriously out driving the car's stock brakes. I tried upgrading the pads from the stock ones to EBC GreenStuff and Mintex Redbox pads, but that just didn't seem to help any. My brakes were getting too hot and just couldn't seem to cope with the upgraded power and handling of the car (I'm driving it much harder now without even noticing that I'm doing so and the stock brakes just can't keep up). Since I've always been impressed with JCW's part kits, I decided to give their "Sport Brake kit" a try.
I went ahead and self-installed the JCW Brake Kit on my 2005 MINI Cooper S yesterday. The installation was straight forward with the only challenging parts being the bleeding of the front brakes and the retracting of the rear brake caliper pistons in order to be able to fit in the new "sport" rear brake pads. The installation took right around four hours and was on par with doing a brake job on the car. Any home mechanic who has the skills to do their own brake job can quite easily install the JCW brake kit. The front calipers come pre-assembled with the pads already installed. Therefore all you need to do is unbolt the existing rotors & calipers and swap in the new ones. For the rears, all you are doing is simply installing a new set of pads.
For more information on swapping the rotors & pads (and for tips on how to retract the rear brake caliper pistons) see Randy Webb's Brake Pad/Rotor Change How-to
In order to bleed the front brakes, I picked up a one man bleeder kit from my local auto parts store for a whopping $7. The self-bleeder kit worked great and allowed me to quickly and easily bleed the front brakes all by myself after installing the new JCW front calipers. The self-bleeder kit comes with a small bottle (to capture the old brake fluid being expelled) that has an anti-siphon valve on top which prevents air from being sucked back into the caliper while you are bleeding/pumping the brakes. Basically, you hook a small clear hose up from the bleeder valve on the brake caliper to the anti-siphon attachment on the top of the waste bottle, make sure that the car's brake fluid reservoir is topped off with DOT 4 brake fluid (available at your local auto parts store or from your MINI/BMW dealer), and then you open the bleeder valve on the caliper and pump the brake pedal a few times in order to purge all of the air from the system. I'm absolutely amazed at just how well the one man bleeder kit works. It's the best $7 I've ever spent!
For more information on bleeding the MINI's brakes see Randy Webb's Brake Bleed How-to
I haven't had the JCW Brake Kit installed very long yet, but I immediately could tell a huge difference in the feel of the brakes and I'm no longer over heating my rotors and pads like I was before. It takes much less pedal force to achieve the same amount of stopping power as the stock brakes and there's still plenty more stopping power available for those emergency situations that might arise. For the money and the piece of mind that comes with knowing that your warranty is in tact (and that the JCW brakes will work properly with your ABS, ASC, and/or DSC systems) I think that the JCW Brake Kit is really hard to beat.
In the end, I'm VERY happy with the JCW Brake Kit. I purchased the kit because I was having real problems with overheating of the stock brakes. The JCW Brakes took care of this problem perfectly. They also look great on the MINI, and retain my (brand new) car's factory warranty for the braking system.
I've been impressed by just about everything that JCW has put out for the MINI. I know a lot of folks argue that their parts are expensive (some even say over priced) and that you can get more "bang for your buck" going the aftermarket route, but I think that every single parts kit JCW puts together for the MINI works flawlessly with the car. The kits are so smooth and so well integrated that I've always been very impressed. The JCW Brake Kit is no exception. They're easy to install and very well engineered and put together. It's a perfect match for the car.
Rating: 4.5 (out of five)
[See photos of the entire installation process here]
You can find the JCW Sport Brake kit at Outmotoring as well as your local MINI dealer. The kit retails for 1065.00.

Francis: women are first communicators of the Resurrection.
Grant Gallicho April 3, 2013 - 1:19pm
As I moved through St. Peter's Square pestering every American I could find, I noticed a trend. Young Catholics kept bringing up the same concerns about their faith: how the church treats abuse victims, gays and lesbians, people of other religions -- and women. (I wrote up some of that in the current issue ofCommonweal.) I hope they've been paying attention to Pope Francis since they left Rome, because he's been addressing the last of those topics with considerable vigor.
Francis's Easter Vigil homily led with the women who discover the empty tomb. "They had felt understood by [Jesus] in their dignity," Francis said, "and they had accompanied him to the very end." Even though the women initially react with fear to what they find, their "loving remembrance of their experience with the Master that enables the women to master their fear and to bring the message of the Resurrection to the Apostles and all the others." In their dignity, understood by Jesus, they bring the good news. And yesterday morning, he preached on John's account of Mary Magdalene weeping at the empty tomb -- until the risen Christ appears and bids her to tell the rest what she has witnessed. Francis then exhorted believers to see through her eyes: "Sometimes in our lives tears are the lenses we need to see Jesus," he said. And today, during his Wednesday audience, he extended his reflection on the role of women as first communicators of the gospel.
After criticizing attempts to "obscure faith in the Resurrection of Jesus," Pope Francis turned to the question of transmitting that faith. Again he noted that women were the "first witnesses to this event." Yet, "in the professions of faith of the New Testament, only men are remembered as witnesses of the Resurrection, the Apostles, but not the women." Why? To answer that question, Francis delivered a little lesson in historical-critical method:
According to the Jewish Law of the time, women and children were not considered reliable, credible witnesses. In the Gospels, however, women have a primary, fundamental role. Here we can see an argument in favor of the historicity of the Resurrection: if it were a invented, in the context of that time it would not have been linked to the testimony of women. Instead, the evangelists simply narrate what happened: the women were the first witnesses. This tells us that God does not choose according to human criteria: the first witnesses of the birth of Jesus are the shepherds, simple and humble people, the first witnesses of the Resurrection are women.... In the church and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord, in following him and communicating his face, because the eyes of faith always need the simple and profound look of love. The Apostles and disciples find it harder to believe in the Risen Christ, not the women however!
As I read that passage, I suddenly recalled the first time I'd heard that argument -- as a sophomore at Fordham, in a course on feminist theology, taught by Elizabeth A. Johnson.
Commenting Guidelines
'you continue to refuse to support it with even one concrete example, or to answer the question I have asked you."Mark -I gave the thoroughly concrete examples of Hans Kung and the American nuns who are now under fire, and other people on this thread have mentioned others. Do you read what others have to say when you don't like what they're saying? And don't ask me to look up citations for Kung and the nuns. They are so well-known you should have discovered them for yourself years ago. Get your head out of the sand. You're giving bad example to the young.Here's from Congar himself (in one of Gene's posts above). it is a perfect example of how the Vatican treats dissenting theologians --- it forgets the honorable Scholastic method that required accusers to give evidence against the accused:"The next, likewise unargued, accusation speaks of a falling into an ethical relativism which derives the criteria of a virtuous act exclusively from the historical situation. As I read this charge a strong feeling of disgust came over me. How should I disprove this extremely serious charge since there is not a single item of argumentation given for it?"
I gave the thoroughly concrete examples of Hans Kung... And dont ask me to look up citations for Kung... They are so well-known... that you dont know what they are? that you cant find them? If Kung has been silenced, that would certainly be a revelation to me, as it seems Im always hearing what he had to say.Its never too late to revise and extend ones remarks, to admit one misspoke, to correct the record. I do it all the time.
I think Teillard de Chardin was put on the "do not pass go, do not collect $200" list because of his Phenomenon of Man, which was forbidden to be published by the "church," i.e., the few, the proud and the rigid.
Mark --Now you're being incoherent. 'Bye.
Mark,You quote my second paragaph: "You truly mean to imply that there were no consequences for priests who reported abusers to the police after their bishops did nothing? The Vatican and bishops certainly have the power, and have indeed exercised it to stop others like removal from office and the priesthood." Mark's response: "The insinuation in your second paragraph, being wholly unsupported, can be considered nothing more than a libelous calumny which I think it would be wise to retract, if not apologize for, post haste."I do not retract, I do not apologize; in fact, J'accuse! 1) John Conley vs William Levada http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2005_07_12/2005_09_22_Berry_The... down to the Conley section, p. 7 in my Word file. Fortunately, Conley had been a lawyer before entering seminary and knew how to fight Levada in court over dismissal from his post. He won a tidy settlement against Levada, who of course went on to head the CDF in Rome.Jim Jenkins, who posts here, was chair of the SF Review Board under Levada and can certainly fill in the blanks about Levada's character.
2) Survivor and priest Bruce Teague' case: http://www.boston.com/globe/spotlight/abuse/stories/032302_priests.htm snip: "Five years ago, when the Rev. Bruce Teague noticed a convicted child molester was hanging around St. Brigid Church, he sent word to his superiors at the Diocese of Springfield. But after hearing nothing back from the diocese, Teague went to Amherst police, who issued a trespass order, threatening the child molester with arrest if he came back.Teague said that after his superiors got a copy of the order, he was reprimanded for going outside the church, touching off a dispute with diocesan officials over his leadership of the parish that eventually led to his ouster as pastor.His transgression? The child molester he turned in was another priest."My last allowed link: http://ncronline.org/blogs/examining-crisis/revising-history-vatican-style Tom Doyle quoting maybe four cardinals on not reporting to police, counter-posed against the Vatican's legal counsel saying but, but "there was nothing in canon law that ... precluded reporting. Maybe not, but irrelevant to what the reality was. As Bonhoeffer noted, Communicating truthfully means more than factual accuracyThere is a way of speaking which isentirely correct and unexceptionable, but which is, nevertheless, a lieWhen an apparently correct statement contains some deliberate ambiguity, or deliberately omits the essential part of the truthit does not express the real as it exists in God. The Vatican excels at this form of lying and mendacity.The end to my responses to Mark Proska.
Mark Proska accuses Carolyn Disco of a libelous calumny which I think it would be wise to retract, if not apologize for.Retract? Apologize? Where have I seen those words before?Oh, now I remember: it was in my invitation to Mark to do just that himself, after he had falsely accused others. He has never offered a defense of his position (not surprising, since none exists), nor has he retracted or apologized. My question: what standing does Mark have to ask others to do what he has refused to do himself? Lest there be any doubt about my claim that he falsely accused people -- and then refused to apologize or retract allow me to re-post a comment in which I laid it all out:
gene palumbo 10/04/2011 - 4:55 pm Extraordinary. Truly extraordinary.Mark Proska takes it upon himself to instruct us, Why not take the high road, and address the question? Indeed, why not? And why doesnt Mark begin by taking that road himself? For him it has been the road less traveled; he has set the gold standard for refusing to address the question.A prime example came in his comments last year on a post by Peter Steinfels. Its worth citing them again to show that hes in no position to be urging others to act in a way that he himself has declined to act. Allow me to prove that point by offering a more concise version of a comment I posted on that thread:Mark Proska:As I read your comments above about Ed Gleason and the Commonweal editorial, I found myself saying, Somethings not right here. I decided to take a closer look. Heres what I found: I. Ed GleasonYou accuse him of making a case against the preaching of doctrine. Thats pretty strong. It also didnt make sense, given what we know (from Eds posts over the years) about the decades of basic pastoral work he and his wife have done. Sure enough, when I went and checked, it turned out that he never said what you claimed he said. He did imply that he disagreed with your particular take on doctrine, but thats very different from making a flat-out case against the preaching of doctrine. II. The Commonweal editorial (http://commonwealmagazine.org/all-dressed-0)1) As for why Avery Dulles was named a cardinal: According to you, Commonweal suggested that he was named only because he toed the line. But the editorial never says that. On the contrary, it lists reasons why he deserved to be named a cardinal, and adds, no one could begrudge Dulles his red hat. 2) As for Dulless motives: You said (and, in saying it, you gave the false impression that the quote you used from the editorial, was a quote referring to Dulles):[I]t was implied that Dulles toed the magisteriums line to secure the red hat.
In fact, nothing of the sort was implied. The editorial never said that Dulles wrote what he wrote in order to be named a cardinal. In addition, the editorial never used the phrase you quoted (toed the magisteriums line) in relation to Dulles; it used it in reference to others:The late Richard McCormick, S.J., and Gustavo Gutirrez come to mind as men whose lifetime of service to the church cannot be second-guessed, yet whose work has not always toed the magisteriums line.
3) As for Commonweals cheap shot (according to you) at Avery Dulles: The editorial spoke of Dulless efforts defending disputed papal teachings, and said it was hard to suppress the suspicion that [those efforts], rather than his broader achievements, figured uppermost in the Vaticans decision making. About Dulles himself, the editorial besides acknowledging his broader achievements said this: his theological work has been a beacon of lucidity. It added: a deep love for and devotion to the church are evident in everything he writes. Is that what you call a cheap shot?Summing up: you put words in the mouths of Ed Gleason and Commonweal. You falsely accused them. You owe them an apology and a retraction.
How did Mark respond? He flatly refused to address the question. I did not, he wrote, find your arguments compelling enough to need a response. Those arguments had according to him no substance. I was stunned when I read that. Can he really believe, I asked myself, that the blogs readers are so stupid that they wont see right through that? I solicited the opinion of someone who, I feel confident in saying, is one of the most moderate and most widely respected among all those who post on this blog. The response I got was, in its harshness, totally out of character for its author, but it was also totally accurate:He loves to stir people up and be flippant, and he evades having his feet put to the fire. He thinks hes very clever, but hes really only clever by half. You essentially painted him into a corner, and he wasnt man enough to admit it or to craft any sort of thoughtful response.
He summed up by describing Marks response as cowardly.Another person Rita Ferrone responded to Mark on the blog:Gene Palumbos comments are right on. They are demonstrably grounded in the facts, and are both morally cogent and civil. I find them completely persuasive, and am grateful to him for making clear who is telling the truth here and who is distorting it. It is sad. Mark continues to post, as if nothing happened. He obviously thinks it doesnt matter. Its yesterdays news. But I must admit that I will be hard pressed to take seriously anything Mark Proska might say in the future, knowing that his regard for the facts is so slight and his sense of responsibility for having unjustly vilified the Commonweal editors is nil, as this exchange shows.
That says it all. Yet now, the same Mark Proska enjoins the rest of us to take the high road and address the question. Might he begin by setting an example and doing it himself?
Gene, to respond to your earlier query, yes, I think that the Holy Spirit is always and ever leading us, including right now. However, until the way is clear to pretty much everyone, it's sometimes hard to make progress.Certainly, it's hard for the Spirit to lead when the hierarchy is stonewalling. I would submit it's equally hard for the Spirit to move when everyone is angry and yelling (as has been often the case in the Anglican wrangles). I think it is useful to have someone who can call a timeout occasionally, something the Archbishop of Canterbury really doesn't have the power to do.
AnnSorry, I dont think I can be any coherenter than I already have been.CarolynThanks for citing specific instances. That helps me understand your point, but I see your examples as somewhat akin to a publisher who turns down a proffered manuscript. Thats not what Id consider silencing the author or forbidding discussion of any topic. Granted, the topic of sexual abuse is much more serious, but youve only presented one side of the story. For the record, the only true censoring Ive seen from the hierarchy is the deletion of a few of my commentstalk about irony!GeneWhat can I say? Its painful to read your comment, but not for the reason you think.
