Freeloading and Virtue-Signaling: Roman Catholic Opposition to 'Just War' Theory
1 Comment · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics, Religion
VATICAN CITY The participants of a first-of-its-kind Vatican conference have bluntly rejected the Catholic church's long-held teachings on just war theory, saying they have too often been used to justify violent conflicts and the global church must reconsider Jesus' teachings on nonviolence.
Members of a three-day event co-hosted by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the international Catholic peace organization Pax Christi have also strongly called on Pope Francis to consider writing an encyclical letter, or some other "major teaching document," reorienting the church's teachings on violence.
"There is no 'just war,'" the some 80 participants of the conference state in an appeal they released Thursday morning.
"Too often the 'just war theory' has been used to endorse rather than prevent or limit war," they continue. "Suggesting that a 'just war' is possible also undermines the moral imperative to develop tools and capacities for nonviolent transformation of conflict."
….Just war theory is a tradition that uses a series of criteria to evaluate whether use of violence can be considered morally justifiable. First referred to by fourth-century bishop St. Augustine of Hippo, it was later articulated in depth by 13th-century theologian St. Thomas Aquinas and is today outlined by four conditions in the formal Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The Rome conference, held Monday through Wednesday, brought experts engaged in global nonviolent struggles to reconsider the theory for the first time under the aegis of the Vatican.
It comes after a number of theologians have criticized continued use of the theory in modern times, saying that both the powerful capabilities of modern weapons and evidence of the effectiveness of nonviolent campaigns make it outdated.
Yes, of course, non-violent campaigns can (mercifully) work, but they work most effectively within a society – and usually a society where the ground rules of dispute resolution are already broadly agreed.
Thus in the West, non-violent protest can be very effective. In, say, the China of Tiananmen Square that was not so true.
Similarly between states, non-violent campaigns are only effective if those states have already agreed that the issues over which they are disagreeing are not the sort of issues over which nations go to war. Many states disagree with Japanese whaling, but they are not going to fight Japan over it. Instead they apply moral pressure.
But there are cases in which there is no agreed 'non-violent' mechanism to bring about (or halt) the change that one state (or para-state) wants to see. Non-violence, in the form of appeasement, was tried against the Third Reich. It didn't work out. Neither the Northern nor the Southern States of the antebellum US wanted to go to war, but, in the end, war was all that was left.
Scroll forward a century and a half. Will ISIS really be stopped by a campaign of non-violence?
National Catholic Reporter:
At a press event launching the conference's final appeal document — given the title "An Appeal to the Catholic Church to Re-Commit to the Centrality of Gospel Nonviolence" — several of the event's participants said the church should simply no longer teach the just war theory.
"I came a long distance for this conference, with a very clear mind that violence is outlived," said Archbishop John Baptist Odama of Gulu, Uganda. "It is out of date for our world of today."
No, Archbishop, it is not 'outlived'. And for a man from Uganda, a land ravaged by the horrors of the Lord's Resistance Army, to say that is disgusting.
And do the Yezidi believe that violence is outlived?
Do Odama's fellow Christians, martyred in Nigeria, Syria, Iraq and too many other places besides, believe that violence is outlived?
"We have to sound this with a strong voice," said the archbishop. "Any war is a destruction. There is no justice in destruction. … It is outdated."
Did the liberated peoples of Europe in 1945 feel that way?
Or read Sherman, that most eloquent, most reluctant warrior of genius:
"I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers … it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated … that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation."
"We can make war so terrible and make [the South] so sick of war that generations pass away before they again appeal to it."
Back to the conference:
Marie Dennis, an American who serves as a co-president of Pax Christi International, said she and the conference group "believe that it is time for the church to speak another word into the global reality."
"When we look at the reality of war, when we look at the teachings of Jesus, we're asking what is the responsibility of the church," she said. "And it is, we believe, a responsibility to promote nonviolence."
Dennis also said she understands that people may raise concerns in rejecting the just war theory over needing to stop unjust aggressors. Her group, she said, agrees that violent aggressors have to be stopped.
"The question is how," said Dennis. "Our belief would be that as long as we keep saying we can do it with military force, we will not invest the creative energy, the deep thinking, the financial and human resources in creating or identifying the alternatives that actually could make a difference."
"As long as we say that dropping bombs will solve the problem we won't find other solutions and I think that's feeling more and more clear to us," he said….
Even if we accept unchallenged her assumptions about what Jesus actually said (ancient hearsay, after all), there is a certain presumption (a presumption rooted in a sense of moral superiority) running through Dennis' comments, the presumption that nations rush into war. That's rarely true. Man is a violent animal, but he knows what war means too. If a country can get what it wants without violence, for the most part, it will. War is generally not the first resort.
And as for combating ISIS with deep thinking….
There is something rather sickening about the spectacle that this conference represents. The priests, nuns and theologians will preen, and lay their virtue out for all to see, but they do so safe in the knowledge that most people disagree with what they have to say.
To preach non-violence while safe behind the defenses that others will man is the behavior of a hypocrite and, worse than that, a hypocrite who freeloads of the sacrifices of those who he or she condemns.
And finally:
Ken Butigan, a lecturer at DePaul University in Chicago and executive director of the non-profit group Pace e Bene, said: "We have gotten a green light for months that this is something that Pope Francis is excited about moving forward on."
"We are determined to support that momentum at this historical moment," he said. "We know Pope Francis has a vision and we're here to support that vision."
The same Pope Francis, who just last June said this:
"The great powers had photographs of the railway routes that the trains took to the concentration camps, like Auschwitz, to kill the Jews, and also the Christians, and also the Roma, also the homosexuals," Francis said, citing the death camp in Poland. "Tell me, why didn't they bomb" those railroad routes?
Well, no one ever accused Francis of intellectual coherence.

The Vatican and Brexit
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics, Religion
The Roman Catholic Church has always been somewhat suspicious of the nation-state, an institution it regards as an obstacle to its own claims of universal authority, so this story from the Daily Telegraph comes as no surprise:
The Vatican wants Britain to stay in the European Union, the Pope's foreign secretary has declared.
Archbishop Paul Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States within the Holy See, suggested "Brexit" could weaken Europe.
In an interview with ITV, the English cleric who has a weekly meeting with Pope Francis, gave a clear signal of Rome's view of the best outcome of the forthcoming in/out referendum on continued EU membership.
"The Holy See respects the ultimate decision of the British people – that's for the British electorate to decide," he said.
"But I think we would see it as being something that is not going to make a stronger Europe."
No, Brexit would not weaken 'Europe', and, if it dealt a blow to the EU (which is something very different), it might well even strengthen it. The EU, based on post-democracy and an ideology imposed from the top, may appeal to the Vatican, but it has evolved into a catastrophe for the peoples of Europe. Under the circumstances, anything that might 'weaken' it (and, regrettably, Brexit could easily have the opposite effect) is only to be welcomed.
As to the Vatican and specific question of Brexit (the UK's departure from the EU), perhaps it's appropriate to revisit yet again what the British politician Enoch Powell had to say back in 1972 about Henry VIII's assertion of English independence from Rome:
The relevant fact about the history of the British Isles and above all of England is its separateness in a political sense from the history of continental Europe…When Henry VIII declared that 'this realm of England is an empire (imperium) of itself', he was making not a new claim but a very old one; but he was making it at a very significant point of time. He meant—as Edward I had meant, when he said the same over two hundred years before—that there is an imperium on the continent, but that England is another imperium outside its orbit and is endowed with the plenitude of its own sovereignty. The moment at which Henry VIII repeated this assertion was that of what is misleadingly called 'the reformation'—misleadingly, because it was, and is, essentially a political and not a religious event.
The whole subsequent history of Britain and the political character of the British people have taken their colour and trace their unique quality from that moment and that assertion. It was the final decision that no authority, no law, no court outside the realm would be recognized within the realm. When Cardinal Wolsey fell, the last attempt had failed to bring or keep the English nation within the ambit of any external jurisdiction or political power: since then no law has been for England outside England, and no taxation has been levied in England by or for an authority outside England—or not at least until the proposition that Britain should accede to the Common Market [the future EU].
Britain did, of course, go on to join that 'Common Market', not least because most Britons did not understand that 'ever closer Europe' meant what it said.
It's time to reverse that now.

The Political Religion of Jorge Mario Bergoglio
1 Comment · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in politics, Religion
This intriguing piece by Claudio Ivan Remeseira is a (very) long read, but (very) well worth it. It underlines yet again how much Pope Francis remains shaped by the intellectual and religious traditions of his homeland. That might be disappointing for anyone who wants to slot him into the neat categories of the American political debate (Francis is neither liberal nor conservative) and it will disappoint anyone who might have hoped that a pope might be a little less, well, parochial, but there we are.
An extract:
During the first decades of the 20th century, after the so-called Modernist crisis and the battles against secularism and its offspring — unfettered capitalism on the socio-economic side, liberal democracy and communism on the political one — , the Papacy devised a strategy to regain center stage in world affairs. In Argentina, this political-religious creed took the form of what Italian historian Loris Zanatta called "the myth of the Catholic nation".
…In this theology, the People are defined in a narrow sense as the poor and the dispossessed. Yet in contrast with the Marxist analysis of economic inequities deployed by Gustavo Gutiérrez, Juan Luis Segundo, Leonardo Boff and other stalwarts of Liberation Theology, the Argentine theologians emphasized the study of national history. Their interpretation of Argentina's past, however, was also polemical. It was a rebuttal of the mainstream storyline that celebrated Argentina's progress as a triumph of the Liberal elite that had ruled the country from the second half of the 19th century to the rise of populism in the 20th century. Starting in the 1920s, anti-liberal intellectuals who called themselves Revisionists turned that narrative on its head. Their hero was the bête noir of Liberal historians, Juan Manuel de Rosas, a governor of Buenos Aires who exerted his power over the whole country from 1829 to 1852, when he was deposed by a former loyalist.
As a young priest close to the Iron Guard, a right-wing Peronist group, Bergoglio absorbed those ideas, which have stuck with him to this day. According to fellow Jesuit theologian Juan Carlos Scannone, Bergoglio's "four principles" of good governance (Time is greater than space; Unity prevails over conflict; Realities are more important than ideas; The whole is greater than the part), were extrapolated by him from a letter Rosas wrote in 1835 to Facundo Quiroga, another powerful Argentine caudillo, explaining why he opposed the drafting of a national Constitution. Those principles are constantly invoked by Francis and constitute the mainstay of the fourth chapter ("The Social Dimension of Evangelization") of his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium.
In 1960 and 70s Argentina, the Rosas-Perón parallels were a truism of political debate — a popular leader who fought for the country's wellbeing against all-powerful foreign interests and their treacherous local representatives. For Revisionists, the antithesis People vs. Anti-people is indeed the driving force of national history. The Anti-people encompasses all historical and present-day forces that thwart the People's way to its Liberation: the political and corporate establishment, the anti-Peronist middle class, and an old enemy of Catholicism: the culture of the Enlightenment, the uprooted intellectualism of those who worship abstractions such as Liberty and Democracy and are always looking abroad for inspiration instead of embracing the originality of their own national experience.
The theologians of the People added to the mix a few more elements of the zeitgeist — anti-Imperialism, anti-colonialism, dependency theory and its center-periphery dualism — and wrapped it all up in the revolutionary language of the era. But their most lasting contribution was the justification of popular faith, another of Francis' recurrent themes.
And (my emphasis added):
For all the efforts made after Vatican II to find an accommodation with contemporary world, there is something at the core of this world that rejects those efforts, a radical incompatibility. In the last analysis, the issue continues to be secularization. The challenge for the Catholic Church is how to accommodate to today's world without being assimilated into its secular values.
Francis' mindset straddles this divide. One Anti-Modern trait of his thinking is his mistrust of Liberalism. Despite his constant appeals to political tolerance, Francis' political thought is rooted in a pre-modern, organicist view of the community as foundation of social and political life. Liberal democracy and the modern doctrine of human rights are the antithesis of that view. In Evangelii gaudium, the word "people" appears 164 times; the word "democracy", not once.
Another trait is his hostility toward capitalism. Far for being inspired in any left-wing or Marxist philosophy, Francis' anti-capitalism comes down from the European right-wing writers of the early 20th century, who in turn found their source of inspiration in the Middle Ages. At the final stage of the Cold War, John Paul II made a timid move towards accepting the market as an autonomous social force. In the age of the anti-globalization movement, Francis would have none of it. His critique of capitalism seems to go even further than the objections traditionally made by Catholic Social Teaching since Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. It is when indicting the world's economic woes that Francis strikes his most prophetic tone (which, by the way, is another characteristic of Argentinian theology). The encyclical Laudato si, his great jeremiad against the evils of capitalism, has established Francis as one of the world's foremost critics of Neoliberalism….
Seen from this perspective, the fact that capitalism has done so much for so many counts for very little with a pope who continually–and with somewhat unbecoming ostentation–humblebrags that he is a pope for the poor, heading a church for the poor. And that church needs the poor to remain poor if they are to continue to be its foot-soldiers in the long war against modernity.

Pope Francis in Bolivia: The 'Dung of the Devil' and Other Matters
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in politics, Religion
Even by the standards of this pontiff, Pope Francis's speech yesterday in Bolivia to a crowd that included the country's president wearing a jacket emblazoned with the face of a mass-murderer (Che Guevara, in case you needed to ask: we can at least be sure that Speaker Boehner won't do that when he introduces Francis to a joint session of Congress), was a doozy.
The Guardian exults (of course it does), quoting this amongst other delights:
"The new colonialism takes on different faces. At times it appears as the anonymous influence of mammon: corporations, loan agencies, certain 'free trade' treaties, and the imposition of measures of 'austerity' which always tighten the belt of workers and the poor."
Not for the first time with Pope Francis, we see traces of conspiracism (a demagogic standard, I'm afraid to say) in his use of the phrase 'anonymous influence' and the suggestion of dark works by 'corporations' and 'loan agencies'. The distaste for 'free trade', complete with scare quotes of course, harks back to the Peronist preference for economic autarchy that marked the Argentina of his youth. And so does another extract from the same speech in which the Pope seems to call what he refers to as a "truly communitarian" economy, often a buzz word for those, such as Perón, who claimed or claim to be looking for a 'third way' between communism and capitalism, a third way that, in Argentina's case, ultimately led to disaster.
Turn now to a 2013 blog post from Jacob Lederman reacting to posters that appeared across Buenos Aires after Francis's election, posters that read, "Francisco I, Argentino y Peronista":
The fall of the first peronist government is said to have been precipitated by Peron's break with the church but in fact I have always thought that the two shared many common attributes: top down structures, a measure of paternalism which can be discursively rendered a form of communitarianism, and a strong inclination toward the mystical. Look at the speech, and we see that Francis has no time for what he refers to as "the bondage of individualism".
And he seems unimpressed by the remarkable (and, of course, incomplete) achievements of the free market (however approximate, however imperfect) in not only coping with a vastly expanded global population (ahem) but in pulling so many out of poverty across the world. All that appears to count for little with a figure who, economically and politically speaking, appears to view much of the modern world through the lens of the exhausted ideologies of the mid-20th Century.
Let us say NO to an economy of exclusion and inequality, where money rules, rather than service. That economy kills. That economy excludes. That economy destroys Mother Earth.
To him this is the system ("a subtle dictatorship", apparently, a description which left me wondering how he would describe Cuba) that has "irresponsibly" (an interesting word to use, in this context: some sort of central planning, I suppose, is to decide what is or is not "responsible") accelerated "the pace of production, while using industrial and agricultural methods which damage Mother Earth in the name of "productivity"….
The Green Revolution was bad?
This Pope's vision is dark, with more than a touch of the millenialist about it, complete, even, with reference to Old Nick.
Behind all this pain, death and destruction there is the stench of what Basil of Caesarea called "the dung of the devil". An unfettered pursuit of money rules. The service of the common good is left behind. Once capital becomes an idol and guides people's decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and, as we clearly see, it even puts at risk our common home.
Quite where this "unfettered pursuit of money rules" escapes me, but then straw men are a Pope Francis staple. After reading the Pope's speech, I returned to Joel Kotkin's thought-provoking Daily Beast article on the eco-encyclical.
Here's an extract:
What we seem to have forgotten is the historic ability of our species—and particularly the urbanized portion of it—to adjust to change, and overcome obstacles while improving life for the residents. After all, the earliest cities of Mesopotamia and Egypt arose, in part, from a change in climate that turned marshes into solid land, which could then be used for intensive, irrigated agriculture. Similarly, pollution and haze that covered most cities in the high income world—St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Dusseldorf, Osaka, Los Angeles—only a few decades ago has greatly improved, mostly through the introduction of new technology and, to some extent, deindustrialization. In recent decades, many waterways, dumping grounds for manufacturers since the onset of the industrial revolution and once considered hopelessly polluted, have come back to life. This notion that people can indeed address the most serious environmental issues is critical. We should not take, as Francis does, every claim of the climate lobby, or follow their prescriptions without considerations of impacts on people or alternative ways to address these issues….
Ultimately the green platform seeks not to increase living standards as we currently understand them (particularly in high income countries) but to purposely lower them. This can be seen in the calls for "de-development," a phrase employed by President Obama's science advisor John Holdren for all "overdeveloped" advanced countries, in part to discourage developing countries from following a similar path. This way of thinking is more mainstream among European activists who seek to promote what is called "de-growth," which seeks to limit fossil fuels, suburban development, and replace the current capitalist system with a highly regulated economy that would make up for less wealth through redistribution.
We know how that ends.

The Encyclical – Old Nonsense in New (Green) Clothing
3 Comments · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics, Religion
Writing in Reason, Brendan O'Neill takes a more secular look at the Pope's eco-encyclical:
Here's an extract:
[W]hat will be the end result of our wicked urge to own things? Mayhem, of course. All the pollution produced in the making of our things will increase "the threat of extreme weather events," [Pope Francis] says, echoing in green-friendly language the Old Testament God's promise of floods as punishment for mankind's sinful antics. We should also gird ourselves for the "catastrophic consequences of social unrest," since "our obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction."
…The Vatican is now a fully-fledged green institution. Which isn't surprising. The demonisation of human hubris and promotion of eco-meekness that is at the heart of the green ideology chimes perfectly with the asceticism of Catholicism.
The similarities between the pieties of environmentalism and the diktats of Catholicism are striking. Environmentalism rehabilitates in secular drag the stinging rebukes of humanity once delivered by pointy-hatted men of God.
Christianity's end-of-worldism is getting a new airing in the apocalypse obsession of greens, who warn of an eco-unfriendly End of Days. Its promise of Godly judgement for our wicked ways has been replaced by greens' promise that we'll one day be judged for our planetary destructiveness. A leading British green has fantasised about "international criminal tribunals" for climate-change deniers, who will be "partially but directly responsible for millions of deaths."
The Word of God has become the authority of The Science (greens always say "The" before "Science," to signal its definitiveness.) "Science has spoken," said Ban Ki-Moon last year, in a speech on why we should all obsess over climate change, just as Catholics insist the "Lord has spoken" so STFU. Greens breathe life back into Catholic guilt, too, urging us to feel bad about everything from flying abroad to eating strawberries out of season. Carbon-calculating, where people measure their every single production of carbon, is like Catholic guilt on steroids.
Of course, you can offset your carbon by planting a tree or something—what Catholics call penance. In the past, rich believers paid priests loads of money for an Indulgence, which absolved them of their non-mortal sins—today the eco-concerned wealthy spend their cash on offsetting their carbon farts, the modern equivalent of an Indulgence.
This is why Francis is so drawn to environmentalism: he sees it as a more acceptable, 21st-century way of pushing the guilt and meekness and anti-Promethean outlook that the Vatican has long been hawking.
O'Neill is right, and that's every reason to be worried. Apocalyptic fantasy, the pursuit of ascetism and "anti-Prometheanism" (From Eve's "sin" to the persecution of Galileo to Frankenstein to today's GMO scares) have sold well for thousands of years. There's no reason to think that they will not continue to do so.
Pope Francis's document is poorly argued, destructive in intent and adrift from commonsense; it will doubtless be adopted with enthusiam.

A Premodern/Postmodern Pope?
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in politics, Science & Faith
From First Things, an interesting take on the pope's eco-encyclical by R.R. Reno.
Here's an extract: "Everything is connected" is [the Pope's] mantra in Laudato Si. True to this principle, Francis links his suspicion of science with suspicions about other dimensions of the modern world. Progress has often been characterized as ever-greater prosperity. But economic globalization, a signature feature of the late modern world, and precondition for today's rapid growth in China and elsewhere, is excoriated again and again. Francis never tires of denouncing "finance," by which he seems to mean modern banking in all its forms. And of course we're destroying mother earth. "The post-industrial period may well be remembered as the most irresponsible in history."
Another feature of modernity and its faith in progress has been a political commitment to liberty, equality, and fraternity. To be modern is to believe that, for all our flaws, Western societies are more democratic, more egalitarian, and more inclusive than any in history. This is not the Pope's view. The West is rapacious. He quotes one source approvingly: "Twenty per cent of the world's population consumes resources at a rate that robs the poor nations and future generations of what they need to survive."
In effect, the present world system created by European and North American modernity—the world made possible by Newton, Locke, Rousseau, Ricardo, Kant, Pasteur, Einstein, Keynes, and countless other architects of modern science, economics, and political culture—is an abomination. Francis never quite says that. But this strong judgment is implied in his many fierce denunciations of the current global order. It destroys the environment, oppresses the multitudes, and makes us blind to the beauty of creation.
Indeed. And it's worth noting that these are not the first "fierce denunciations" (I'll stick with that relatively gentle phrase) that we have seen from a pope with something of a weakness for a demagogic, occasionally even paranoid style that would have played well in the Peronist Argentina of his youth, a time when he clearly learnt much and understood little.
But back to First Things:
Today's progressives are often critical of the West, and in that sense critical of "progress." Europeans can be hysterical about genetically modified food. They have renounced nuclear energy, the only feasible large-scale alternative to a hydrocarbon-based energy system. Democracy was the signal political aspiration of modernity, but the EU is a post-national political project, a technocratic, post-democratic project. Here in the United States, many are now educated to believe that the history of the West is one long story of oppression and injustice. Optimism has waned, which means that the pope's pessimism may be received warmly.
Perhaps, therefore, the most accurate thing to say is that Francis offers a postmodern reading of Gaudium et Spes and Vatican II's desire to be open to the modern world. He seems to propose to link the Catholic Church with a pessimistic post-humanist Western sentiment rather than the older, confident humanism.
There may be a strange genius in this. For more than two hundred years Catholicism has resisted a self-sufficient humanism confident in the triumph of reason and science. Now there are powerful forces in the West that regard the modern project of the West as a failure, and the worst-case accounts of global warming encourage us to draw this conclusion. Thus the encyclical's apparent focus, which is quickly superseded by a wholesale critique of every aspect of the current global system. Francis encourages the humiliation of modernity and the West, seeing in its failure the seeds of repentance and return to God.
Count me a skeptic. I prefer that approach of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. If global warming poses a dire threat to humanity—and it may—we will need all the moral strength, scientific integrity, economic vitality, and political legitimacy that Western modernity can muster. The same goes for the pressing problems of poverty and development. Instead of the voice of denunciation, we need the Church's counsel and guidance. We all need to repent. But when it comes to pressing ethical problems, revolution is a dangerous game to play.
Obviously, I'm not with Reno on the need for the guidance of the Roman Catholic Church (readers may disagree!), but his broader point is subtle and very well made. The fact is that Francis is a pope who is profoundly at odds with not just (what we understand as) the West, but with the best of the West.
And, I would add, this encyclical is far from being the only evidence of that.

Not Quite So Focused on the Constitution Now
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics
Cross-posted on the Corner (under a different title).
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops:
WASHINGTON—Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, M.Sp.S., auxiliary bishop of Seattle and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Migration, welcomed the news today that the Obama administration will defer deportations for many undocumented immigrants and their families.
Perhaps I'm being unfair, but it seems to me that the bishops now seem rather less focused on the constitution than they were at the time they were objecting to various aspects of Obamacare coverage.
Meanwhile the National Catholic Reporter reports:
Catholic groups across the country have been quick to applaud President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, but they are equally quick to remind that more work remains to be done before finding a "humane" fix to our country's immigration system.
The executive order, which the president delivered Thursday in a primetime speech, expands the government's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and provides temporary relief from deportation for more than 4 million undocumented immigrant parents who have lived in the country for more than five years.
"Generally, we are celebrating this announcement," said Michelle Sardone, legalization program director for the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, or CLINIC. "It's going to help close to 5 million people. But we're definitely still working toward finding a permanent solution."
"This a temporary fix," she said. "There's still more fighting to be done, to make sure that everyone is included."
Press releases from various Catholic organizations echoed the sentiment….
Ah yes, there's always "more fighting to be done".
The ratchet turns.
Bishops for 'Executive Action'
Comments off · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics
With the US waiting to hear what type of 'executive action' Obama will announce with respect to illegal immigrants tomorrow, this item from the National Catholic Reporter is worth noting:
In a little noted letter, two bishops chairing committees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have put the Catholic bishops on record supporting executive action on immigration. The letter places the bishops on President Barack Obama's side in his dispute with congressional Republicans, who are opposed to any executive action on immigration.
The letter, sent on Sept. 9 with little fanfare, was addressed to Jeh Johnson, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, with copies of the letter going to Dennis McDonough, chief of staff to the president, and Cecilia Munoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. The letter was signed by Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, chair of the Committee on Migration, and Bishop Kevin Vann, chair of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. The conference issued no press release to publicize the letter and I cannot find it on the USCCB website.
The letter asked for executive action "to protect undocumented individuals and families as soon as possible, within the limits of your executive authority." "With immigration reform legislation stalled in Congress," the letter said, "our nation can no longer wait to end the suffering of family separation caused by our broken immigration system."
The Republican leadership in Congress has said any executive action by the president on immigration would poison future cooperation on any topic.
The bishops urge that some major problems on immigration be dealt with through by executive action. These would not be considered minor items by either the administration or Congress…
Meanwhile the Washington Post reports:
BALTIMORE — The nation's Catholic bishops are jumping into the increasingly contentious battle over immigration reform by backing President Obama's pledge to act on his own to fix what one bishop called "this broken and immoral system" before Republicans assume control of Capitol Hill in January.
In an unscheduled address Tuesday (Nov. 11) at the hierarchy's annual meeting, Seattle Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, chairman of the migration committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the USCCB would continue to work with both parties to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
But, Elizondo said, given the urgency of the immigration crisis and the electoral gains by Republicans who have thwarted earlier reform efforts, "it would be derelict not to support administrative actions … which would provide immigrants and their families legal protection."
This, of course, is the same church that has been so keen to press for what it sees as its constitutional rights under the guise of what it describes as 'religious freedom'.
Brittany Maynard's Choice
2 Comments · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in law
Brittany Maynard died tragically young, but with dignity and in as much control as an unkind fate had allowed her, taking advantage of the law in Oregon that allowed her to obtain a prescription for the barbiturates that would end her life before cancer did its terrible worst.
Writing in the Dallas News, Marcia Angell, the widow of a physician denied similar relief thanks to the cruelty of Massachusetts law, makes a powerful case for other states to follow Oregon's example.
Here's an extract:
Whereas hastening an inevitable death was once regarded almost exclusively as a medical issue, we are beginning to focus on what patients want, on their right to self-determination. And people are increasingly asking why anyone — the state, the medical profession, religious leaders — would presume to tell someone else that they must continue to die by inches, against their will….
The Supreme Court has twice maintained that that's a medical question and as such should be left to the states, which regulate medical practice. The medical profession, meanwhile, has been among the main obstacles to more laws like Oregon's. The American Medical Association's official policy is that physician-assisted suicide is "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer." One possible explanation for this opposition, particularly among palliative care specialists, is that assisted dying underscores their limitations in dealing with suffering at the end of life.
But that stance puts the focus in the wrong place. This is not primarily about physicians or their self-image; it's about patients — specifically patients for whom healing is no longer possible. We give patients the right to hasten their deaths by refusing dialysis, mechanical ventilation, antibiotics or any other life-sustaining treatment. Why deny them what is essentially the same choice, especially since it is limited to terminally ill patients?
In 2012, I was among the lead petitioners to put a Death With Dignity law on the ballot in Massachusetts, and I campaigned hard for its passage. Until a month before the election, polls showed overwhelming support. But in the final weeks, the Catholic Church, both nationally and within the state, began pouring money into TV ads implying that people would be coerced into killing themselves, and physicians and pharmacists would be required to help them. After opponents outspent proponents by about 5 to 1, the referendum lost.
This, of course, is the same Roman Catholic Church that has spent so much of the last year or so talking about 'religious freedom'. It's important to understand that's a concept where both words matter. When the church makes that argument, it is not arguing for the cause of liberty in any generalized sense. Rather it is insisting on the right, under certain circumstances, of churches and their followers to assert their beliefs over the general law.
There is something very appropriate in the way that Thomas More was often cited as an inspiration for the church's campaign. Contrary to what his modern apologists, papal and otherwise, have liked to claim, More was no supporter of freedom of conscience. What he wanted was his conscience to prevail over the consciences of others, consciences for which he had little regard. Dissent was not an option.
It's not too difficult to draw a line between More and the way that the Catholic Church (aided by other religious groups) did so much in Massachusetts to insist that its views on 'assisted suicide' should be imposed on others. Of course, that imposition was the result of a democratic vote. That matters. Nevertheless the fact that the church did so much to suport that imposition on all the people of Massachusetts, regardless of religious affiliation or their own views on this matter, is a useful reminder of its distinctly narrow notion of freedom.
Meanwhile the National Catholic Reporter writes:
The Vatican's top ethicist condemned Brittany Maynard's decision to end her life, saying there was no dignity in her physician-assisted death…
"Assisted suicide is an absurdity," Carrasco de Paula told the Italian news agency ANSA. "Dignity is something different than putting an end to your own life…."
"Killing yourself is not a good thing; it's a bad thing because it says no to life and to all that means in relation to our duty in the world and to those close to us," Carrasco de Paula said.
The fact that life was effectively saying no to Ms. Maynard seems to have passed de Paula by, as does the fact that Ms. Maynard's decision appears to have been supported by her loved ones. As to his remark about duty, it says a lot that de Paula doesn't say to whom this "duty" is owed.
And of course the slippery slope makes its inevitable appearance in an argument that ignores the fact that the terminally ill have already slid down it:
Carrasco de Paula said assisted suicide was also dangerous because it offered a potential "solution" for a society that sought to abandon the sick and quit paying the costs of their illnesses.
De Paula, who is head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, an institution described by the NCR as being responsible "for ethical issues in the Catholic church" is, of course, entitled to his views. They are what they are, and they are unlikely to change. Roman Catholic teaching is what it is. But so is its refusal to respect the freedoms of those with which it disagrees. Its behavior in Massachusetts was a disgrace.
Maynard's closing statement included this:
"Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness."
And so she did. RIP.
Noted Scientific Authority Weighs Into Climate Debate
1 Comment · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in politics, Religion
The Holy See has called for "an authentic cultural change" to combat climate change which is man-made and therefore man's responsibility. That was the focus of an address delivered last night to the UN Climate Change Summit in New York by the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
And, of course, there's this:
For its part, Vatican City State, though small, is undertaking significant efforts to reduce its consummation of fossil fuels, through diversification and energy efficiency projects. However, as the Holy See's delegation at the COP-19 in Warsaw indicated, "talking about emission reductions is useless if we are not ready to change our lifestyle and the current dominant models of consumption and production"
.The appeal of hair shirt and collectivist dream has not, it seems, gone away.
Of course, to the extent that there is AGW, it is not entirely unconnected with the fact that there are now some seven billion of us on the planet. I would not, of course, expect the Vatican to alter its opposition to contraception, but those who read its sermons on climate change should remember that this is one "change" that it is not prepared to countenance. That's up to the church, of course, but it would be nice if it acknowledged that this stance comes with an environmental cost.

BELGIUM: Toyota Europe stays quiet on driver pedal error reports
By Simon Warburton | 14 July 2010
Toyota recalled 2.3m vehicles worldwide to modify potentially 'sticky' accelerator pedals
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) declined to comment on US reports that driver error was largely responsible for its 'sticky pedal' issues there but said final results of investigations would be available within months.
The automaker was responding to US reports that investigators had found drivers were to blame in the majority of almost 2,000 cases of 'unintended acceleration'.
"We prefer not to make any comment before we see [the] final results," a TME spokesman in Brussels told just-auto. "We would hope it [results] will be [available] this year - they are speaking in terms of months."
Speculation in the US has centred on whether the pedal problem was in fact due to most drivers mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake, although TME is tight-lipped on the possibility.
"There have been a few issues that have been established such as these sticky pedals and ABS control software that had to be put right although we are not convinced this is an issue," said the TME spokesman.
"Beyond that we do not see any problem with these vehicles." The TME spokesman added that "independent third parties" were continuing their evaluation in the US.

Manifestations of acute overdosage may include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states.
Fatigue and depression usually follow the central stimulation.
Cardiovascular effects include arrhythmias, hypertension, or hypotension and circulatory collapse. Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Poisoning may result in convulsions, coma, and death.
Management of acute intoxication is largely symptomatic and includes lavage and sedation with a barbiturate. Experience with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is inadequate to permit recommendation in this regard.
Acidification of the urine increases phendimetrazine tartrate excretion.
Intravenous phentolamine (Regitine) has been suggested for possible acute, severe hypertension, if this complicates overdosage.
Advanced arteriosclerosis, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, moderate and severe hypertension, hyperthyroidism, known hypersensitivity, or idiosyncrasy to the sympathomimetic amines, glaucoma. Agitated states. Patients with a history of drug abuse. Use in patients taking other CNS stimulants including monoamine oxidase inhibitors.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

264 characters in 77 seconds: how fast can you text?
How fast can you send someone a text message? Well, if your name is Cheong Kit Au from Australia that answer would be 264-characters in 1 minute 17 seconds.
Using a QWERTY mobile phone, that speed breaks the current world record by 43 seconds and makes Kit Au the fastest texter on the planet according to Guinness World Records.
But he hasn't been crowned the LG Mobile Wordcup World Champion. That claim goes to sisters Cristina Sales Ancines, age 20, and Jennifer Sales Ancines, age 15, from Panama as the "World's Fastest Texters."
The championship, held at Gotham Hall in New York City, saw the new champions outlast competitors from 16 countries through a series of rigorous texting challenges to win $100,000 in prize money.
"We are thrilled to have won against the world's best texters," said Cristina Sales Ancines, on the news that she can move her fingers faster than most.
During the competition, players demonstrated their texting skills using the New LG Chocolate BL20 and the LG TOWN GT350, which served as the two official phones for the event.
Contestants from Korea, LG's home country, placed second and took home $20,000, while team Brazil placed third, winning $10,000. In each round, contestants raced to be the first to type in phrases exactly as they appeared on nearby LG plasma screens, with no mistakes or abbreviations.
The selection of finalists for the LG MOBILE WORLDCUP began with a series of national texting contests in 16 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Korea, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, Portugal, South Africa, Thailand and the U.S.
Thirty two contestants were ultimately invited to New York for the grand finale.
Unfortunately Britain didn't make it to the final stages.

Disciple Formation and *Raw Spirituality* by Tom Smith (a Book Review)
Raw Spirituality is written by Tom Smith, a South African minister whose heart has been formed to truly care about discipleship in the Christian community. He's seen "discipleship" used as a sales pitch and drives us away from that in his book. He's given us a good story on discipleship here and the end-of-chapter questions set us into a conversation with the author.

Seasons and Ted Kooser's *The Wheeling Year: A Poet's Field Book* (A Book Review)
The Wheeling Year has been a study in writing the seasons. But, before writing comes noticing and with noticing comes a metaphor. This is Kooser's gift and it's a gift he's sharing with me in these pages.
The gift doesn't transfer exactly. I don't see things like Kooser and may never see them his way. But I feel my eyes opening. Mr. Kooser is showing me how to see. He's teaching me by sight how to become alive and call out the life that flourishes right where I am.
This is profound spirituality and Kooser is a gentle, soft-spoken prophet of God. "If you have ears, listen. If you have eyes, see."

Thomas Merton on Balance and Sabbath
"The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its inmate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence. More than that, it is cooperation in violence. The frenzy of the activist neutralizes his work for peace. It destroys his own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of his own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful."

Allen – who assumed Cooper's last name after their June wedding – had suffered two miscarriages before her current pregnancy. While some of her famous friends took to Twitter to congratulate her, Allen herself simply tweeted one short message yesterday: "totes amaze."

Later, Maia and Munoz are on the ground where Munoz goes for a D'Arce choke, but lets it go. After getting back to the feet for a moment, the two go back to the ground where Maia is able to pull guard. Munoz transitions and gets Maia against the cage, sitting. Munoz stays on top of his opponent and lands some short punches and elbows. No strikes were landed for a while and the referee stands them up. The round ends a short while later.

Mitchell Falls in the Kimberley/Western Australia during the Dry.
I finally made it to this magic place – a two day journey from Broome, about 1000 kilometres of dirt road return, wrecked the radiator of the car, helicopter flight in and 3.5 km speed hike out to get back to the camp before it is pitch black with 10 kilograms of photo gear. I so hope it was worth it! :-)
I was very fortunate to see the Mitchell Falls flowing at the end of September 2010. Not much, but better than nothing, planning to go back in May.

Pink and other colors edition
1. Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart? It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster, if we all pull together as a team.
2. And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop. And he looks at her and says, 'Hey darlin' I can remember when you could stop a clock.'
3. Well, I got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain.
4. Got a fever running high
Give you wings to make you fly.
She school you like a fool
She make you break the rules.
She wanna give you a shot, hit the spot
And I'm gonna rack em up, get it hot.
5. You may think I'm foolish, for the foolish things I do. You may wonder how come I love you, when you get on my nerves like you do.
6. You could be my flamingo, 'Cause pink — it's the new kinda of lingo. Pink, like a deco umbrella. It's kink that you don't ever tell her.
7. Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls.
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight.
She turns her self round and she smiles and she says, "This is it that's the end of the joke."
8. Once you told me long ago, to the prom with me you'd go. Now you've changed your mind; it seems someone else will hold my dreams.
9. The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write.
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight,
The beautiful sight.
10. Drop a dime before I walk away.
Anytime you want, I'll gladly play.
Money feeds my music machine.
Now listen while I play....
11. I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright.
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance.
12. As we live a life of ease, everyone of us has all we need. Sky of blue, sea of green...
13. We skipped the light fandango,
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more.
14. But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely.
My love is vengeance
That's never free
15. I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do....
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do...
16. But I have to admit the ladies get smitten; Admiring how sharply my first name is written on you, with a Sharpie when I get to hittin' on them to help me get lucky.
17. Don't turn your back on me, baby
Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby
Don't mess around with your tricks.
18. Well, have you seen that girl in the corner? I'd like to take her out of her chains. 'Cause if I have my way with you, baby, I would be changing your life today.
19. Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail.
Speck of white so fair and pale. Have you seen a lady fairer?
20. I never meant to cause you any sorrow; I never meant to cause you any pain. I only wanted to one time to see you laughing...
