I am busy developing an application in C++ on a Linux computer. The application uses a 3rd party library that uses the Ethernet adapter and the network. The library is the library of a GigE Vision camera. On startup my application tries to connect to the camera and then it returns information about the camera, thereafter it starts streaming video to the application.
After a while the application could not connect or get the camera information from the camera, but running the application as root (sudo) solves the problem.
I have contacted the supplier of the library and they have indicated that I should do the following:
Users who feel running as root compromises their system security may find the following implementation satisfactory:
- set the executable owner as root.
- set the "setuid" permission bit on the executable
- in code, when application starts use capset() to release all but these privileges: CAP_SYS_NICE, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_NET_BROADCAST, CAP_NET_RAW The application will start with all root privileges, but it will drop them immediately after startup.
This does work but isn't there an alternative way for me to do this without changing the executable? I am thinking of adding my user to some group that allows me to access those privileges, any help will be appreciated.
The above mentioned solution is not optimal in the sense that after each compilation I need to change the owner and set the permissions. The application is used to record video and capture images. For the mentioned solution these recordings and captures are then also owned by the root user and the user needs to be changed back when distributing the files.
OS: Ubuntu Linux 11.10 Environment: C++ with Qt

new engg management is real bad, dishonest and disrespectful. due to bad financial conditions, staff is reduced to less than half, engineers are given too much work and firing threats are given openly. new recruits are needed only for first 6 months and then treated like use and throw. and of course, buck stops at top management.

No. 1 Best Medium Nonprofit: Idealist.org
Located on the tenth floor of an historic building in downtown Portland, the offices of Idealist.org feel like part of an earlier era, a time when dot-coms promised a bright future. Here, some of the 15 local employees kick off their shoes during phone calls and arrive at work wearing jeans and T-shirts. The programming squad sleeps late and works late — if they want — and it's a foosball table that brings people together, not a water cooler.
But these dot-com environs house a dot-org, and a successful one at that. This is a place where a brighter future refers not to stock options but a gentle reshaping of society. That's because Idealist.org aims to encourage more service, involvement and action from professionals and volunteers around the globe.
It's no small task, and one that risks promising unrealistic rewards. With that danger in mind, Idealist strives to incite participation "without the exclamation points," says Russ Finkelstein, associate director, through an extensive website, among other tools.
"Very often people are overwhelmed by the possibilities, which prevents them from acting," says Finkelstein. "We want to help them make informed decisions about the best way for them to serve."
Founded in 1995 in New York City by executive director Ami Dar, the organization has grown to a staff of 70 people in four countries. Various incarnations of the website have resulted in today's massive portal, a place with 14,000 volunteer opportunities, 4,000 nonprofit jobs, and more than a million subscribers.
In addition, Idealist.org organizes events — nonprofit career fairs around the U.S. and international graduate school fairs — and publishes online and print guides to finding meaningful work.
"We're very mission focused," says Kyle Dawkins, a software architect who's worked for the organization for nine years and has a business card that reads "Token New Zealander." "Everybody always has that in front of them, so we stay inspired by that fact that we have a philanthropic focus."
Much of the organization's core content is generated in the Portland office, which opened in 2005. Finkelstein, who has worked for Idealist since its founding, helped choose the location, a city he posited possessed top talent interested in quality of life.
To find the right employees from the Portland pool, Finkelstein leads an extensive hiring process for each position. Recent applicants for project-based sales jobs were asked to write essays in response to two questions: What recently annoyed you and what recently excited you? That was before the mock phone calls, onsite research project and impromptu presentation to the staff.
Meg Busse, a former middle-school teacher and a director of the Career Transitions Program, says the staff always participates in the hiring process to help discover which applicants have "that spark," which stems from intellectual curiosity.
"[We ask them] what are you passionate about? What are you excited about? What gets you going?" she says. "If there's one thing we all share, it's an excitement about almost anything."
That zeal helps explain the diverse backgrounds of the young staff (14 of the 15 employees are under age 40), which show a range of foreign language skills, work and travel experience abroad and nonprofit jobs.
"Everyone who works here is incredibly talented," Finkelstein says.
To retain that talent, Finkelstein strives to make sure employees are doing work that's meaningful to them, and constantly reminds the staff that if they weren't doing this work, no one else would be doing it.
"We're telling other people, 'This is how you find value in what you do,'" he says. "If we're going to inspire others, we need to live up to that ourselves."
The staff stays connected to the bigger picture through travel, by attending the fairs they organize and visiting the Idealist.org offices in Buenos Aries and New York. The casual Portland office provides a soothing antidote to the professional formalities that accompany travel.
In addition to zero dress code, the chance to bring dogs to work and flexible schedules, employees receive tuition and wellness reimbursements and other benefits that some staffers say rival the for-profit sector. They also report consistent above-cost-of-living raises.
While those benefits keep the staff happy as individuals, their curiosity, sense of humor and like-mindedness create a palpable sense of energy and collaboration, even at the foosball table, where they unleash their competitive streaks. After all, challenging the status quo requires plenty of energy and vigor, even if you're not wearing shoes.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Christian social teaching challenges any notion of human freedom which begins and ends with the isolated, atomistic, person as the measure of its application. We are by nature and grace called to relationship. Only in communion can we become fully human and find human flourishing. This is the Christian vision of the human person which must inform a new movement.Human freedom must be exercised within a moral constitution. We currently mouth the word freedom while we build our own shackles, engaging in dehumanizing behavior. There is a moral basis to a truly free society. Freedom is not only about having a right to choose but choosing what is right and embedding within the polity the safeguards of a robust vision of freedom; it is not only a freedom from, but a freedom for. Freedom must be ordered toward choosing the good, respecting the truth about the human person, promoting marriage and the family and fostering the real common good. Our freedom must respect our obligation in solidarity to one another - because we are our brother and sisters keeper. This is the principle of solidarity or social charity.

Published in U.S.
Keywords: social justice, social doctrine, freedom, life, dignity, love of preference for the poor, catholic action, radical, movement, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - On Saturday, December 7, 2013, Pope Francis addressed a delegation from the Dignitatis Humanae Institute which had gathered for a conference in Rome. Their motto is Promoting Human Dignity Based on the recognition that man is made in the Image and Likeness of God.
This think tank rejects the politicized rhetoric which limits the explanation and application of the Social teaching of the Catholic Church. They offer a source for Catholics and other Christians who are tired of the politicized language of left/right/liberal/conservative/neoconservative/neoliberal to form a new vocabulary and build a movement to effect change in the culture. It is time to drop the loaded political language and recapture the heart of our mission.We need to be radically Christian.
The Institute recognizes the assault on Christians in the cultures which have rejected the anthropological truth of the human dignity of every person as the foundation of society.In addressing the representatives of the Institute, Pope Francis said, Your institute proposes to promote human dignity on the basis of the fundamental truth about man, who is created in the image and likeness of God. So, there is an original dignity of every man and woman that cannot be suppressed, that cannot be touched by any power or ideology. Unfortunately, in our epoch, so rich in many accomplishments and hopes, there is no lack of powers and forces that end up producing a throwaway culture (cultura di scarto); and this threatens to become the dominant mentality.
The victims of such a culture are precisely the weakest and most fragile human beings - the unborn, the poorest people, sick elderly people, gravely disabled people... who are in danger of being "thrown out," expelled from a machine that must be efficient at all costs. This false model of man and society embodies a practical atheism, de facto negating the Word of God that says: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness" (cf. Genesis 1:26).
Instead, if we let ourselves be interrogated by this Word of God, we let it question our personal and social conscience, if we let it shake up our discussions, our ways of thinking and acting, the criteria, the priorities and choices, then things can change. The force of this Word poses limits on whoever wants to rule by abusing the rights and dignity of others. At the same time, it gives hope and consolation to those who are not able to defend themselves, to those who do not have access to the intellectual and practical means to affirm the value of their suffering, of their rights, of their life.
The Church's social doctrine, with its integral vision of man, as a personal and social being, is our "compass." Here there is a fruit that is of particular significance to the long journal of the People of God in modern and contemporary history: there is the defense of religious liberty, of life in all its phases, of the right to work and to decent work, of the family, of education. All initiatives such as your own are, therefore, welcome, initiatives that aim to help people, communities and institutions to rediscover the ethical and social importance of the principle of human dignity, which is the root of liberty and justice. In view of this purpose efforts at raising awareness and formation are necessary.
These will assist the lay faithful of every walk of life, and especially those who work in politics, to think according to the Gospel and the Church's social doctrine and to act consistently, dialoguing and collaborating with those who, with sincerity and intellectual honesty, at least share - if not the faith - a similar vision of man and society and its ethical consequences. There are not a few Christians and non-believers, who are convinced that the human person must always be an end and never a means.
We need to learn from this Institute and we need to hear those words from Pope Francis. We need to build a new form of Radical Christian action; a movement which rejects the current political labels and is entirely committed to authentic Christian Social Thought. The Social Teaching of the Catholic Church offers principles which can steer western culture away from self destruction.
It is not only for Catholics, other Christians or even just religious people. It is for all people and all Nations. It is offered to those who seek to build a truly human and humane society and promote the real common good. The teaching is called social because it speaks to human society and to the formation, role and rightful place of social institutions.
Contrary to the relativism of our age which rejects any notion of objective moral truth, Catholic Social teaching insists that that there are unchangeable truths which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason.
They are revealed in the Natural Law (Catechism #1950-1960). This Natural Moral Law is present in the heart of each man and established by reason.This law is universal in its precepts and its authority extends to all men. It expresses the dignity of the person and determines the basis for his fundamental rights and duties." (Catechism of the Catholic Church# 1956)
It is here we find those foundational human rights which must be recognized by the civil or positive law as rightfully belonging to all men and women. The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church (paragraph 140) further explains:
The exercise of freedom implies a reference to a natural moral law, of a universal character, that precedes and unites all rights and duties.
The natural law "is nothing other than the light of intellect infused within us by God. Thanks to this, we know what must be done and what must be avoided. This light or this law has been given by God to creation. It consists in the participation in his eternal law, which is identified with God himself. This law is called natural because the reason that promulgates it is proper to human nature. It is universal; it extends to all people insofar as it is established by reason.
In its principal precepts, the divine and natural law is presented in the Decalogue and indicates the primary and essential norms regulating moral life. Its central focus is the act of aspiring and submitting to God, the source and judge of everything that is good, and also the act of seeing others as equal to oneself. The natural law expresses the dignity of the person and lays the foundations of the person's fundamental duties.
This Natural Moral Law is more fully revealed through faith and revelation. However, foundational truths such as the dignity of every human person at every age and stage, the nature and ends of real marriage, our obligations in solidarity to one another - are all knowable through the exercise of reason.
These truths provide a framework for structuring our social life and building a common home. We should acknowledge them together, agree upon them and then build a movement rooted in them. The social teaching of the Catholic Church offers principles to be worked into the loaf of human culture.
Christian social teaching challenges any notion of human freedom which begins and ends with the isolated, atomistic, person as the measure of its application. We are by nature and grace called to relationship. Only in communion can we become fully human and find human flourishing. This is the Christian vision of the human person which must inform a new movement.
Human freedom must be exercised within a moral constitution. We currently mouth the word freedom while we build our own shackles, engaging in dehumanizing behavior. There is a moral basis to a truly free society. Freedom is not only about having a right to choose but choosing what is right and embedding within the polity the safeguards of a robust vision of freedom; it is not only a freedom from, but a freedom for.
Freedom must be ordered toward choosing the good, respecting the truth about the human person, promoting marriage and the family and fostering the real common good. Our freedom must respect our obligation in solidarity to one another - because we are our brother and sisters keeper. This is the principle of solidarity or social charity.
The Catholic Church rightly reminds all men and women of our obligation to give a love of preference to the poor. This is the kind of love which the Lord Himself shows in his identification with the poor. The implications of our response to this command are expounded upon in the 25th chapter of the Gospel of St Matthew.
This means incorporating in the social order a concern for their well being. We can construct a system which includes them within its embrace and expands the promise of participation and advancement. Catholic social teaching does not propose a particular economic theory. Rather, it insists that every economic order must first be at the service of the dignity of the human person and the family and further the common good.
In recent encyclicals and magisterial teaching the market economy has been recognized as having a real potential for promoting all of these goods - when properly understood and morally structured.
The Catholic Church prophetically stood against the materialism of the atheistic Marxist system. She prophetically cautions Nations which have adopted a form of liberal capitalism that there are dangers in any form of economism or materialism which promotes the use of persons as products and fails to recognize the value of being over acquiring.
She reminds consumerist western culture that the market economy must be at the service the human person, the family and the common good, lest 'capitalism' conflate its claims to offering freedom and become what Blessed John Paul II once referred to as savage in its application and encourage business practices which devolve into greed.
The Church warns against and rejects collectivism, whether of the left or the right on the political spectrum. The Church's social doctrine holds that authentically human social relationships of friendship, solidarity and reciprocity can also be conducted within economic activity, and are not only outside it or after it.
As Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI wrote in his 1999 encyclical letter Charity in Truth, The economic sphere is neither ethically neutral, nor inherently inhuman and opposed to society. It is part and parcel of human activity and precisely because it is human, it must be structured and governed in an ethical manner.
Contrary to what some wrote after that letter was published, it neither endorsed nor rejected capitalism. As the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church consistently has done in the past it simply did not use the term, preferring the terms market economy or free economy.
So it was with the Apostolic Exhortation entitled The Joy of the Gospel from Pope Francis. Markets can only be free when free people are engaged in them. Freedom is a good of the person. A free economy should also seek to continually expand by opening the way for the participation for as many people as possible, while promoting enterprise and initiative.
Also, though we are to give a love of preference to the poor, recognizing our solidarity with them, this call to solidarity is to be applied through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, rejecting all forms of dehumanizing collectivism, either of the left or the right. Subsidiarity in governance and economic participation rejects the usurping by a larger entity of participation which can be done at the lowest practicable level.
The West, with all of its promise of freedom, flirts with an instrumentalist materialism devoid of any understanding that the market was made for man not man for the market. In this mistaken approach to a free market economic order the accumulation of capital can come to be viewed as prior to the flourishing of the person, the family and the common good.
We cannot separate moral, social and economic issues in the body politic, just as we cannot separate the spirit, soul and body of a person. Human society is a form of corporate person. All of our political and economic concerns have some moral dimension because they concern the human person. The reason we care about expanding economic opportunity is because we respect the dignity of every human person and want to expand participation to as many human persons as we can.
The reason we should care for all of the poor, in all of their manifestations, is because they all have human dignity, having all been created in the Image of God. This is where the Institute for Human Dignity has done a great service in formulating their Declaration. This is at the heart of what Pope Francis not only writes about, but proclaims in prophetic word and deed.The Institute for Human Dignity is a resource for offering the material out of which we can shape a Radical Christian Action movement.
In the Joy of the Gospel Pope Francis wrote that among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care, with particular love and concern, are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us. Nowadays efforts are made to deny them their human dignity and to do with them whatever one pleases, taking their lives and passing laws preventing anyone from standing in the way of this. Frequently, as a way of ridiculing the Church's effort to defend their lives, attempts are made to present her position as ideological, obscurantist and conservative.
Yet this defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development. Human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems.
Once this conviction disappears, so do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of human rights, which would always be subject to the passing whims of the powers that be. Reason alone is sufficient to recognize the inviolable value of each single human life, but if we also look at the issue from the standpoint of faith, "every violation of the personal dignity of the human being cries out in vengeance to God and is an offence against the creator of the individual.
Precisely because this involves the internal consistency of our message about the value of the human person, the Church cannot be expected to change her position on this question. I want to be completely honest in this regard. This is not something subject to alleged reforms or "modernizations". It is not "progressive" to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life.(Par. 213,214)
He was absolutely correct. It is not "progressive" to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life. A new movement should reject all the current political labels. If anything, it could be described as radical, if we consider the true meaning of that word.
The word radical means returning to the root. That is what we must do, return to the root recognition that every single human person, at every age and stage of life, has human dignity because they are created in the Image of God. It is time for a movement grounded in the real Social Doctrine of the Church which reaches out to the broader Christian community and other people of faith and good will.

AC Transit was presented with the Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award (GEELA), the highest environmental honor in the state of California, for its innovative fuel cell and solar energy projects.Gov. Jerry Brown honored the agency as one of 17 organizations that have adopted clean-air business principles and policies that conserve energy, reduce costs and help to improve the environmental health of their surrounding neighborhoods. "We celebrate the achievements of the individuals, organizations, and businesses that have demonstrated leadership and made notable contributions in conserving California's precious resources, protecting and enhancing our environment, building public-private partnerships and strengthening the state's economy," said Gov. Brown."Projects like these take a lot of courage and intensity to do, and we are really glad the Governor chose to recognize us," said AC Transit Board President Greg Harper. "We are very proud of what we are doing to enhance the air quality of our local communities while significantly reducing greenhouse gases, and for being able to contribute to the development of these cutting-edge technologies."Specifically, AC Transit was honored for building the most comprehensive hydrogen fuel cell demonstration program in the country. Its zero-emission fuel cell buses emit only water vapor from their tailpipes, operate quietly and smoothly, achieve nearly double the fuel economy of conventional buses, and to date have saved more than 68,000 gallons of diesel fuel. The agency has also built the most advanced hydrogen fueling stations in the world, according to AC Transit, featuring the use of solar energy to produce a share of the hydrogen it uses to propel its buses.In addition, the agency is installing a 400-kilowatt stationary solid oxide fuel cell system manufactured in California. Using biogas as its source of fuel, the system will provide enough green electricity to power its largest operating division. AC Transit also installed more than 1.1 megawatts of solar power on the rooftops of its buildings and is in the process of adding another 300 kilowatts of solar power in 2013, delivering a significant portion of the power needed for the agency's daily operations.Established in 1993, GEELA honors individuals, companies and organizations that make significant contributions to the state by developing environmentally friendly practices while contributing to the local economy. Learn more about the awards and about AC Transit's environmental programs.
The agency is already providing enhanced routes and options through a unique 5-year partnership agreement with Megabus.com which began last year, to offer express travel to and from Miami and Orlando for as little as $1.
The 20th installment of the show featured more than 50 new exhibitors, 70-plus vehicles and plenty of information to inspire attendees.

Staten Islanders Finally Getting the Chance to Hail a Cab
Staten Islanders have access to the best mode of transportation ever invented by mankind -- the Staten Island Ferry. Getting off of the island is easy, but getting around the island is more difficult because Islanders don't have a good rail service yet. Most Staten Islanders stick to cars, but for those unfortunate souls without wheels there must be a great taxi system, right? Well no, but there is a really horribly managed livery cab system that leaves from the ferry, only accepts cash and is never dependable. There's hope though! Mayor Bloomberg is now polling Staten Island residents to find out how they use cabs after announcing that the outer boroughs will be gifted with hailing cab services.
The Staten Island Advance gives details on the new service:
The imagined cars will be instantly recognizable and uniform in color (although will not be the iconic New York City yellow). The cars will also be equipped with roof lights, meters and GPS systems and drivers will be able to accept credit cards.
Last month the Voice's own Camille Dodero ventured to Staten Island and found the cab service to be very annoying:
@mylestanzer Shaolin needs work on its cab game. Waited 45 minutes for 15 minute ride
If the city ever wants people to do more than take the ferry before heading back home to Manhattan, they should fix this. There are some really great places to check out on Staten Island (like Moses Mountain!) but they're unreachable for your average tourist or New Yorker. It's time the unexplored terrain of Staten Island is given a fair look.

Animal-Welfare Film to Premiere in US Next Month
Documentary The Ghosts in Our Machine will screen in New York before expanding to other cities.
The Ghost in Our Machine made headlines during its Canadian release earlier this year as filmmaker Liz Marshall set out to answer the question, "Are non-human animals property to be owned and used, or are they sentient beings deserving of rights?" According to an announcement on its official website, the film will begin screening in the US in early November. High-profile names such as Bob Barker, Jason Priestley, and James Cromwell have expressed their support for the animal-welfare film, and New York City screenings will begin November 8. Locals in Los Angeles will be able to see the film by mid-November, and The Ghost in Our Machine will also be shown in San Francisco and Boston later this fall.

Great location and good sized appartment.Posted Aug 16, 2015
Pros: Great sized rooms with the 2 shower rooms/toilets.
Cons: Some maintenance and the decoration refreshed would up this apartment a notch but it was honestly fine for the families needs and perfectly priced.
Location: 5 minutes walk to South Pier and the Pleasure Beach and about 20-25 mins walk to the Tower and Central Pier. Never used transport once.
Arrived a bit early but was still allowed to check in to the apartment. There was a small confusion over parking but the owner let us keep our car in her private garage. There were 2 adults and 3 kids (15, 9 & 6) in our party and the apartment provided more than enough room for us. Having 2 toilets and 2 showers was superb. The rooms and toilets were clean and the kitchenette had everything that we needed. The apartment could probably do with a refresh and some general maintenance as it was a wee bit run down but I'm honestly being picky and for the price I paid I expected far less than what we got.

Tipico appartamento stile inglesePosted Dec 28, 2014
Pros: Libertà di usufruire come se fosse casa nostra.
Cons: Pulizia della moquette.
Location: Molto vicino al centro di Blackpool (15 min a piedi) ma servizio pullman vicino e molto efficace.
Primo impatto un po' deluso per alcune lacune nella pulizia della moquette ovunque presente. Ma poi giudizio migliorato sentendoci quasi come a casa in atmosfera britannica. Una soluzione che ci ha permesso di passare un buon Natale con i figli che lavorano lì.

UPDATED: Weekend Predictions: 'Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience'
Featured Stories - on February 26, 2009 by Phil Contrino
Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience is on track to give Disney another box office hit.
A rush of teenage girls will be descending upon movie theatres this weekend as Disney's latest homegrown phenomenon, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, lands at 1,271 locations.
JB3D will try to tap into the same teen and pre-teen demographics that turned High School Musical 3: Senior Year and Hannah Montana/Miley Cryrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour into sizable theatrical hits. HSM3 fell just shy of the $100 million mark domestically after opening with an incredibly healthy $42 million from 3,623 locations this past October. Meanwhile, Hannah Montana, which was billed as a limited engagement before ultimately hanging around in theatres for 15 weeks, opened at 683 locations and debuted with a staggering $31.1 million in January 2008.
Die-hard fans of the band are already scooping up their tickets online. As of Thursday at 4 p.m. PT, 63% of Fandango's sales this week have been for the 3D concert flick. Meanwhile, 32% of all Jonas Brothers ticket buyers bought 4 or more tickets at MovieTickets.com.
Expect JB3D to land somewhere in between Hannah Montana and HSM3 as far as its opening weekend goes, although it could surprise everybody and land somewhere beyond $40 million.
The only other wide release opening this weekend is Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which will be landing at slightly more than 1,000 screens. 20th Century Fox has given the film an extremely mediocre marketing blitz, and its cast boasts no box office draws. The fact that Chun-Li is based on a popular video game series could help it slightly, but that won't make up for a lack of general awareness. Don't expect Chun-Li to be in theatres for very long.
Crossing Over, an immigration drama with an impressive ensemble cast, is opening at nine locations this weekend. The film has been plagued by some negative buzz, and it has seen more than its share of release date changes. Still, the presence of Harrison Ford should serve as a decent draw. Expect Crossing Over to bring in around $25,000 from each location this weekend.
Among holdovers, last weekend's box office champ, Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, will probably lose about 55-60% of its audience. Perry's films usually double their opening weekend haul by the end of their theatrical run, which means that Madea is on pace to walk away with around $80 million before it exits theatres.
After winning the Oscar for Best Picture, Slumdog Millionaire will benefit from a significant expansion this weekend. Mainstream audiences that have not seen the film yet will now be more enticed to do so. However, after this weekend the Fox Searchlight release will probably experience some pretty sharp box office declines.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke
Leave Voice Mail for Fr. Z
Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2.
