Don Henley Slams 'Arrogant' Frank Ocean for Using 'Hotel' Music
He also cites the indie band Okkervil River for using master tracks or covering his songs in recent years without permission.
Don Henley is having a "Hey kids, get off my lawn!" moment. In a new interview, the Eagles frontman tweaks R&B singer Frank Ocean and indie band Okkervil River for using master tracks or covering two of his songs in recent years without permission.
Henley's issue with Ocean stems from the rising star's sampling of the entire "Hotel California" track, minus vocals, for his song "American Wedding." Ocean wrote new lyrics for the song, which was never released commercially but was included on a free mixtape. Henley was not impressed, and seemed shocked that Ocean "doesn't seem to understand" copyright laws in the United States.

"Anyone who knows anything should know you cannot take a master track of a recording and write another song over the top of it," Henley told the Daily Telegraph in Australia. "You just can't do that. You can call it a tribute or whatever you want to call it, but it's against the law. That's a problem with some of the younger generation. They don't understand the concept of intellectual property and copyright."
Henley said when he caught wind of the track's existence, he got his lawyers involved, and that Ocean was "quite arrogant" about the situation. The classic rocker said Ocean wouldn't listen to reason, so he threatened legal action.
"He was clearly in the wrong," Henley said. "I wouldn't dream of doing something like that. What kind of ego is that? I don't understand it."
Previously, Ocean has jabbed that Henley was "intimidated by my rendition" of the song and said that he failed to understand what the fuss was about, given that no money was being made. "Isn't this guy rich as f---?" he wrote on Tumblr. "Why sue the new guy?"
As for Okkervil River, Henley took issue with their version of "The End of Innocence" not because they covered it, but because the Austin-based band changed some lyrics without asking him first.
"If you respect somebody you ask their permission to diddle around with their work," he said. "I don't know how [Okkervil River would] react if I took one of their songs and re-wrote the lyrics and recorded it. Maybe they wouldn't care but I care."
Okkervil River's Will Sheff echoed Ocean in being incredulous to Henley's opposition.
"It's a real dick move, man," he told The Music magazine in February. "I don't really get what [Don's] issue with it was; it's not like I was making money: I figure that's all he f------ cares about anyway … He's an old-fashioned guy who doesn't understand."
Sheff penned a long op-ed piece for Rolling Stone in which he revealed he took the song off his free album release of covers, Golden Opportunity.
STORY: Judge: Republican Infringed Don Henley Songs in Campaign Ads
Sheff explained he was first introduced to the song listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown show in his dad's station wagon. "There was this deflated masculine middle-aged world-weariness to it that haunted me," he said.
About changing the lyrics -- written by Henley with Bruce Hornsby -- Shef admitted: "I wasn't the first person to do that, because doing it goes back to Afrika Bambaataa, to Marcel Duchamp, to Bob Dylan, and to pretty much all folk music pre-1940. so even in that, I guess, in that idea, I was unoriginal."
In the future, Henley suggests younger artists be more like Michael Buble, who did a "totally legal cover" of the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight" in 2009.
"You can record anyone's song you like -- it's called [buying] a compulsory license," he said. "You don't just go and do it."

Is Anyone Else Confused About the Royal Baby?
We know she's a princess, but where is she exactly in line to the throne?
We know she's a princess, but where is she exactly in line to the throne?
Would you ever tattoo your child's picture on the side of your face? This guy did.
Justin Timberlake is a dad! The "Mirrors" singer and his wife, actress Jessica Biel, have welcomed a baby boy into the world, reps for the couple confirmed with People. This is their first child.
While details about when and where Jessica gave bir
Watch this mom of 6 boys FLIP OUT when she finds out the gender of baby #7. Priceless!
Are you one who keeps trying until you get at least one of each gender? I've got three girls and each time I thought I'd get a boy and I didn't
A dad posted a photo on his Facebook page showing a 101 age year difference in one family and was flooded with even bigger age gaps.
It's been rumored for months...Justin Timberlake confirmed the news on his Instagram.
I think babies are adorable. They make me smile. And some say they're little sponges who pick up everything they see and hear. This cute baby proves that.
I admit it...every time I'm near a Coke display I check to see if there are any names I know. It's been a brilliant campaign. This couple took the "Share a Coke" idea and turbocharged it.
There are few things as exciting as having a baby and sharing that joy with family and friends at a shower is a great part of the process. Leave it to Christina Aguilera to take it just a little bit further
You probably heard the news that Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are expecting a baby together. They have been off and on as a couple for quite some time - so much so that it doesn't seem like the gossip reporters even know if they're together now

10 Best New Orleans Cajun Restaurants: Are you Looking for a Kick in the Mouth?
By Kristopher Neild
Palm Beach / West Palm Beach Local Expert
Cajun or Creole is a serious question of taste in New Orleans, but liking one doesn't mean you discard the other. Cajun food is the dark roux-ed, pork using, spicy sister of Creole, and is often intertwined, fused and used hand-in-hand with Creole techniques.
Most of the restaurants you see below blend the two styles to fill out their menus. The spots picked tended to be favored by the Cajun crowd of locals. Places like K-Paul's (who "invented" Cajun) tend to cook right out of the Cajun recipe book. Newer spots like Restaurant R'evolution use Cajun technique as a base and expand upon that with modern culinary technique and flair.
When you come to a city so revered for their foods, you will be tempted by every genre. The hamburgers look good, the pho delicious and the pizza unworldly. But those are migration foods. Since you may visit infrequently, you should make plans to try food unique to and developed in the great city of New Orleans. Many of the places below will have a Cajun take on your favorite American/Italian/Southern food favorite.
Stick to the 10 Best Cajun Restaurant list to find and attend one or more of New Orleans' best Cajun spots, a culinary styling indigenous to the great Gulf city.
10 Domilise's Po'Boys
A tiny room bustling with hungry diners, this neighborhood joint has been serving irresistible po-boys since the 1920s. A collection of vintage décor ranging from old Tabasco bottles filled with toothpicks, beer cans, newspapers and photos hints at the establishment's age. Nonetheless, few get tired of the tried and true menu, which offers scrumptious fillings such as pepper wiener and chili, fried shrimp, catfish, turkey, and sweet barbecue, all served on a hearty French bread, and hopefully, complemented by a cold beer. You can find Domilise's on Annunciation, heading towards Audubon park from downtown. Come hungry, leave happy and repeat. (504-899-9126)
9 Bon Ton Cafe
Located in a historic 19th century building, this restaurant's interior -- exposed brick walls, checkered tablecloths, wrought iron fixtures -- exemplifies casual elegance. Geographically positioned in the Central Business District, the exterior gas lamps beckon in the hungry. The main draw of Bon Ton is the traditional Cajun cooking, highlighted by specialties such as chicken fried steak, crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, catfish, turtle soup and soft-shell crab. Any food goes well with their refreshing house drink, the Rum Ramsey. If the entree and laced drinks don't throw you into diabetic shock (a joke), check out the bread pudding for desert. Closed weekends. (504-524-3386, 888-524-5611)
8 K - Paul's Louisiana Kitchen
If it's "blackened," its Cajun! K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen is manned by world renowned Chef Paul Prudhomme, who introduced the world to Cajun cooking. Diners can enjoy spicy meals that feature starters such as seven steak okra gumbo and entrees such as crawfish étouffée and blackened Louisiana Drum, a fish. Dessert choices include bread pudding and sweet potato pecan pie. The decor is elegant and features patio and balcony seating. K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen is a nonsmoker's haven. It is located in the French Quarter on Chartres, easy to get to from any of the major hotels and a short walk away from Woldenburg Park. (504-596-2530)
7 Cochon
Nestled in the Warehouse District of New Orleans, Cochon, led by renowned Chef Link offers up a true Bayou dining experience. Chef Link crafts up food offerings rich in Cajun tradition using local ingredients. He strives to develop an authentic taste that seasoned locals could recognize from fifty years prior. Their menu is simple so no translation is needed for ordering. Prices are super reasonable for what is considered a top, if not the top restaurant in all the Crescent City. Don't waste your time trying to find a great local seafood fare, as restaurants are known here for employing people on the streets to usher you in. Cochon doesn't employee these people; their reputation speaks for itself. (504-588-2123)
6 Chartres House Cafe
A Vieux Carre Landmark "Where Locals Enjoy Casual Cuisine"
, the Chartres House is a traditional New Orleans Cajun restaurant. They have multiple dining settings for their guests to enjoy depending on the mood and the weather. Enjoy true French quarter ambiance with the wrap around balcony, two full bars serving famed martinis and a gorgeous courtyard. Dishes such as the Crawfish Pasta Estrellita and any of the seafood platters will have you salivating pre- and sleeping post post-meal. If you happen to be apart of the mid-morning drinking crowd, Chartres House has your back, serving up system shocking Bloody Mary's. (504-586-8383)
5 New Orleans Food and Spirits
Located across the Ponchartrain River (also a second location in Metairie), this casual joint serves some of the best Cajun in the area. Among the most popular numbers are homemade concoctions like crawfish corn bisque, catfish stew and a signature gumbo. A word to the hungry; their heaping servings of fried seafood exceed all expectations, and have frequently been voted the best in the general New Orleans area. The quality of the ingredients is indicative of the the scrumptious-ness of the food. New Orleans Food and Spirits uses Liedenheimer French Bread, which automatically turns an ordinary po-boy into an amazing one. Reservations are not accepted, so be prepared for a wait. (504-828-2220)
4 Grand Isle Restaurant
Grand Isle is the strip of land off mainland Louisiana known for its amazing fishing. Grand Isle Restaurant, with its menu of fresh local seafood and vintage photos channeling the same gulf goodness as its namesake. Situated on busy Fulton Street, Grand Isle spotlights the talent of chef Ryan Haigler, a South Carolina native who's come light years from his Waffle House beginnings. With a resume that includes working with Sean Brock in Charleston, Tom Colicchio in New York and Emeril in New Orleans' Delmonico, Haigler lassos a lot of flavor in gulf specialties like smoked fried oysters with garlic aioli and a version of grilled oysters with havarti and tasso that is completely off the hook. The smoked drum chowder with roasted corn is another treat, and you can't miss with anything seafood. But Haigler handled the butcher program for Delmonico for two years, so steak specials or the winning combo of confit pork cheek and baby clams served with crunchy popcorn rice pilaf. This is a relaxed yet surprisingly sophisticated option just steps from Canal Street and the Convention Center. (504-520-8530)
3 Restaurant R'evolution
Restaurant R'evolution is located on Bienville in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is a restaurant "steeped in the historical & cultural influences" of the Big Easy. They are an upscale Cajun/Creole venue offering some amazing takes on dishes like Crawfish Stuffed Flounder Napoleon and the Gulf Shrimp and Grits. Can't decide what to eat? Like most powerhouse New Orleans Restaurants, R'evolution offers a tasting menu where you can sample a bit of this and that. Besides dinner, they serve lunch and brunch on certain days. Their bar is known for hand crafting some traditional throwback drinks including a great take on the Sazerac. ((504) 553-2277)
2 Brigtsen's
This is Cajun cooking at its best. Brigtsen's chef, Frank Brigtsen, is known as one of the finest in the region and the culinary entrees he creates are divine. His previous work stops included the famed Commander's Palace and K-Paul's. Manning his own kitchen, Frank's famed dishes are the roast duck or blackened tuna -- but all are guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Brigtsen's is a quick streetcar ride Uptown from the French Quarter. It's a great spot for a romantic night out with a date, or to bring a group of friends. The wait times are a lot less than may be experienced closer to the city center. (504-861-7610)
1 Jacques-Imo's Cafe
Jacques-Imo's is a Cajun/Creole mecca for New Orleanians, with their unforgettable "truck-turned table for two" beckoning the Oak Street foot crowd. The Shrimp Etouffee and Smothered Chicken highlight a menu of Creole favorites offered at relatively inexpensive prices compared to peers. You will also notice that, compared to peers, Jacques-Imo's has the best tasting and most diverse Creole offerings. Their specials menu, which changes often, is known for having up to and over 15 items that are all begging to be ordered. Jacques Leonardi, the chef and mastermind of this venue, is regularly on hand to engage guests and talk of his craft. (504-861-0886)

Middlebury College gets EPA awardApril 02,2013
MIDDLEBURY Middlebury College was one of seven colleges and universities recently honored by the Environmental Protection Agency for significantly cutting food waste below previous years levels. The college was awarded the EPAs Food Recovery Challenge Achievement Award.
In a statement, Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPAs New England office, said seven New England colleges are setting a great example by preventing more than 2,528 tons of food scraps from disposal by using them for higher and better uses, including food donation and composting. He said the Food Recovery Challenge Achievement Award winners are using food to feed people, not disposal facilities.
The challenge invites organizations nationwide to save money through reducing, purchasing and lowering disposal fees for unconsumed food.

The reason that WWE is using NXT performer Xavier Woods' name in the current "petition" angle to bring The Big Show back is because WWE has been looking for a way to get him on the main roster. Management has been high on Woods for some time, and feel he can be a PR asset to the company, as he has a masters degree and is currently working on his doctorate. The WWE announcers referenced Woods and NXT on RAW last night.
Prior to being signed by WWE, Woods had a run in TNA as Consequences Creed.

Update: Actually, Ducks didn't scratch Silfverberg
Jan 23, 2014, 8:44 PM EDT
Contrary to reports by sources including TSN 1200 and NHL.com, the Anaheim Ducks actually didn't make Jakob Silfverberg a healthy scratch against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. Instead, the scratches include Tyler Toffoli, Jeff Schultz and Matt Greene.
It's unclear if Bruce Boudreau made a last-minute decision to dress Silfverberg or if he planned on playing the 23-year-old all along.
The Ducks also beefed up their lineup with Dustin Penner and Tim Jackman on Thursday.
Silfverberg's been playing well lately, making Bobby Ryan trade jokes less warranted; seven of his 15 points from 2013-14 have come in the last 10 games. Oddly enough, Ryan hasn't been as productive in his last 10 games, only nabbing four points in that span.
Overall, Silfverberg has generated his 15 points in 27 games played. The Ducks likely expect continued growth from the 2009 second-round pick (39th overall).

Due to the ducks depth, they have healthy scratched just about everyone except perry and getzlaf. So no news here.

^ This.
Silfverberg was hurt for 7 weeks or so and in that time a lot of other players stepped up and earned some trust from the coaching staff. That depth has resulted in stuff like Etem being sent to the minors and decent guys like Palmieri sitting fairly often.
Silfverberg looked terrific against the Kings.

I stayed in Bogota at Hotel Bioxury for a conference, and I found the hotel to be really nice on all accounts. The hotel seems to be newly remodeled, or else very well kept up, and the amenities are everything you'd expect and need. A big plus to me was the rain shower-type shower head in the bathroom, just brilliant!
The restaurant was really good as well, particularly for dinner. My only complaint would be 3 simple things: 1) the elevators are very slow, and 2) to save power, the lights turn off in the floors outside the elevators, which makes sense, but it's kind of creepy when the elevator arrives on the floor and it's all dark until you step out. And 3), the lighting in the bathroom could be better, like not directly from above.

The Dallas Mavericks have been eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. With Dirk Nowitzki out for almost half the season, they had a very slim chance to begin with, but the fact that they were so close has to mean something and should be considered a victory for Dallas. They were well coached all season and played hard, but playing without Dirk and having an aging and rather untalented roster was their reason for failure. Yes it is the end of an incredible run, but this could be the beginning of something new. After striking out on all major free agents last year, owner Mark Cuban filled the roster with one year deals, to try again at free agency the following off-season, so he will have a lot of money burning a hole in his pocket this summer. Hopefully he makes the right decisions this summer, because if he spends wisely, they could have a whole new roster full of talented players. It is completely unknown what Cuban plans to do this summer, but he will no...

Aussie Beer Ad Has A Unique Twist [Video]
Why are these men running? How are they able to run so fast and not spill their beer? It's a secret that will be revealed when you watch this video.
Why are these men running? How are they able to run so fast and not spill their beer? It's a secret that will be revealed when you watch this video.
The members of Lady Antebellum got the chance to bring smiles to some kids who really need them when they performed recently in the oncology unit at UCSF's Benioff Children's Hospital. The 'Need You Now' hitmakers chronicled the visit in a new webisode of Lady A TV that aired Wednesday (Sept. 26).
Before he even considered judging the upcoming season of 'American Idol' or sat down in that big red chair on 'The Voice' Australia, Keith Urban had plenty of experience with singing competition shows. As a young boy, the 'For You' hitmaker appeared as a contestant on an Australian reality show that is similar to 'Idol.' However, he wasn't as popular as he is now... by any means.
Babies can be exhausting enough during the day, but when they cry throughout the night the so-called bundles of joy can leave their parents cranky and depressed.
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Constantine Maroulis
Age: 37
Occupation: Singer and Actor
Known For: Placing sixth in the fourth season of 'American Idol,' and his role in the musical 'Rock of Ages.'
Keith Urban is back on the road, and he's so excited to be playing music for his devoted fans that he's pulling out all the stops. The 'You Gonna Fly' hitmaker recently wrapped up a series of shows in Canada and the Northeast, pausing in New Hampshire to join forces with fellow country crooner David Nail. The two stars wowed fans by putting on their own rendition of Brooks and Dunn's 'Brand New Man.'
Reported new 'American Idol' judge Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman were caught by the Kiss Cam of sorts at the U.S. open in Queens, N.Y. on Friday (Aug. 31.) The adorable and happy couple were taking in a tennis match between American Andy Roddick and Australian Bernard Tomic when they were photographed sharing a big ol' kiss.
Urban joins Blake Shelton in the world of judging reality TV singing competitions
It's no secret that 'American Idol' producers have been looking for a country star to pull up a chair at the judges table in the upcoming season of the hit realize show. The latest country star to get hit up by 'Idol' producers is Keith Urban — and he has confirmed that his potential invitation to join the show isn't just another rumor.
Keith Urban already has experience as a reality show judge, having served as a coach on the Australian version of 'The Voice.' Now, Urban may be lured to a competing show's lair, since sources are indicating that 'American Idol' producers would like a country star on the revamped panel and that Urban their No. 1 choice to fill that genre-specific slot.

A few days ago, an American wrote me in the wake of their Supreme Court's decision to invent the right to same-sex "marriage":
"I have been weeping on and off a good part of this day… as I attempt to go to sleep I am wondering if you could help me understand just where we are in the timeline of events to come…."
There are several thoughts on this that have come to me in the silence of this past week. And they are, in part, an answer to this question…
The Vision
"Write down the vision; make it plain upon tablets, so that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is a witness for the appointed time…" (Habakkuk 2:2-3)
There are two things that guide and inform this writing apostolate that are worth highlighting again. The first is that interior light the Lord gave me to understand that the Church and the world are entering a Great Storm (like a hurricane). The second and most important dimension, however, has been to filter absolutely everything through the teaching authority and memory of the Church, preserved in Sacred Tradition, in order to faithfully respond to Saint John Paul II's directive:
The young have shown themselves to be for Rome and for the Church a special gift of the Spirit of God… I did not hesitate to ask them to make a radical choice of faith and life and present them with a stupendous task: to become "morning watchmen" at the dawn of the new millennium.
In this regard, I have found that the metaphor of a "Storm" fits perfectly with the early Church Fathers' vision of the "day of the Lord" and what would transpire before, during, and after the Storm.
The big picture
What exactly is the "Storm"? Taking into consideration the Scriptures, the vision of the Church Fathers, the approved apparitions of the Blessed Mother, the prophecies of saints such as Faustina
"…this day of ours, which is bounded by the rising and the setting of the sun, is a representation of that great day to which the circuit of a thousand years affixes its limits."
And again,
"Behold, the Day of the Lord shall be a thousand years."
A "thousand years", however, is not to be understood literally, but figuratively as referring to an extended period in time
The reason I point all this out is because, according to both St. John and the Church Fathers, the appearance of the "lawless one" or "beast" occurs before the triumph of the Church — those "times of the kingdom" or what the Fathers often referred to as a "sabbath rest" for the Church:
"But when The Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from Heaven in the clouds… sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day… These are to take place in the times of the kingdom, that is, upon the seventh day… the true Sabbath of the righteous."
That is, things are going to get worse before they get better. As one of St. Thérèse de Lisieux's favorite authors wrote,
"The most authoritative view, and the one that appears to be most in harmony with Holy Scripture, is that, after the fall of the Antichrist, the Catholic Church will once again enter upon a period of prosperity and triumph."
In this regard, I want to relay what is one of the most significant harbingers of the Antichrist that appears to be unfolding at thishour…
The hour of lawlessness
I want to recount for new readers an indelible experience I had in 2005 that a Canadian bishop urged me to write about. I was driving alone in British Columbia, Canada, making my way to my next concert, enjoying the scenery, drifting in thought, when suddenly I heard within my heart the words:
"I have lifted the restrainer."
I felt something in my spirit that is hard to explain. It was as if a shock wave traversed the earth — as if something in the spiritual realm had been released.
That night in my motel room, I asked the Lord if what I heard was in the Scriptures, since the word "restrainer" was unfamiliar to me. I grabbed my Bible, and it opened straight to 2 Thessalonians 2:3. I began to read:
"…[do not be] shaken out of your minds suddenly, or… alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed…"
That is, St. Paul warned that the "day of the Lord" would be preceded by a rebellion and the revelation of Antichrist — in a word, lawlessness.
"…before the Lord's arrival there will be apostasy, and one well described as the "man of lawlessness", "the son of perdition" must be revealed, who tradition would come to call the Antichrist.
But there is something "restraining" the appearance of this Antichrist. With my jaw wide open that night, I went on to read:
"And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed…"
When we think of lawlessness, we tend to envision gangs roaming the streets, the absence of police, crime everywhere, etc. But, as we have seen in the past, the most insidious and dangerous forms of lawlessness come on the wave of revolutions. The French Revolution was fueled by the throngs wanting to overthrow the Church and monarchy; Communism was birthed as the people stormed Moscow in the October Revolution; Nazism was democratically employed through the popular vote; and today, working parallel to democratically elected governments, in unison with lobbyists, is the practical force behind the present Global Revolution: judicial activism, whereby the courts simply invent laws as an "interpretation" of constitutions or charters of rights. This is all to say that there has been a progression where lawlessness appears more and more to take on the face of liberty when, in fact, it is undermining it.
"…when the culture itself is corrupt and objective truth and universally valid principles are no longer upheld, then laws can only be seen as arbitrary impositions or obstacles to be avoided."
Thus, adds Pope Francis, "lack of respect for the law is becoming more common."
At this period, however, the partisans of evil seems to be combining together… No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself …that which is their ultimate purpose forces itself into view — namely, the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism. — Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus, Encyclical on Freemasonry, n.10, April 20th, 1884
The Beast devours liberty
Brothers and sisters, I say this by way also to warn you of those well-meaning Catholics who insist that we cannot possibly be nearing the time of Antichrist. And the reason for their insistence is this: they have limited themselves to scholastic theology and a biblical exegesis that does not take into account the full scope of patristic writings, mystical theology, and the entire body of Catholic teaching. And so, Magisterial statements such as the following are conveniently ignored:
"Who can fail to see that society is at the present time, more than in any past age, suffering from a terrible and deep-rooted malady which, developing every day and eating into its inmost being, is dragging it to destruction? You understand, Venerable Brethren, what this disease is — apostasy from God… When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the world the "Son of Perdition" of whom the Apostle speaks."
Nonetheless, a cursory examination of our times reveals present at this hour every hallmark that would precede and accompany the "lawless one."
I. Lawlessness and apostasy
As already stated, lawlessness is breaking out everywhere, not only in the overturning of the natural moral law, but in what Pope Francis calls the growing "atmosphere of war",
But the word St. Paul uses to describe the lawlessness is "apostasy", which means specifically a rebellion toward, and mass rejection of the Catholic faith. The root of this rebellion is compromise with the spirit of the world.
"There has never been such a falling away from Christianity as there has been in the past century. We are certainly a "candidate" for the Great Apostasy."
"…worldliness is the root of evil and it can lead us to abandon our traditions and negotiate our loyalty to God who is always faithful. This… is called apostasy, which… is a form of "adultery" which takes place when we negotiate the essence of our being: loyalty to the Lord."
As noted above, more than one Pope has spoken of an apostasy unfolding in our midst.
"Apostasy, the loss of the faith, is spreading throughout the world and into the highest levels within the Church."
II. Disappearance of liberty
Both the prophet Daniel and St. John describe "the beast" as an overpowering world dominion that is "granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation."
Evidence of an encroaching world power that controls is becoming more evident,
It is not the beautiful globalization of unity of all Nations, each one with their own customs, instead it is the globalization of hegemonic uniformity, it is the single thought. And this sole thought is the fruit of worldliness.
III. Unguided technology
Pope Francis has likewise elucidated the growing threat of technological power that threatens "not only our politics but also freedom and justice."
…those with the knowledge, and especially the economic resources to use them, [have] an impressive dominance over the whole of humanity and the entire world. Never has humanity had such power over itself, yet nothing ensures that it will be used wisely, particularly when we consider how it is currently being used. We need but think of the nuclear bombs dropped in the middle of the twentieth century, or the array of technology which Nazism, Communism and other totalitarian regimes have employed to kill millions of people, to say nothing of the increasingly deadly arsenal of weapons available for modern warfare. In whose hands does all this power lie, or will it eventually end up? It is extremely risky for a small part of humanity to have it.
IV. The emergence of "the mark"
One would have to be somewhat naive not to recognize the very real and growing danger of commerce becoming more and more restricted to the digital domain. Quietly, subtly, humanity is being corralled like cattle into an economic system whereby there are fewer and fewer players and more central control. Small retailers have often been replaced by box stores; local growers displaced by multi-national food corporations; and local banks swallowed up by huge and often anonymous financial powers that have put profit before people, "anonymous financial interests which turn men into slaves, which are nolonger human things, but are an anonymous power which men serve," said Pope Benedict XVI.
Technologies that reduce buying and selling to digital recognition systems run the risk of eventually excluding those who do not "participate" in the broader social experiment. If, for example, a business owner is forced to close his business for not baking a cake for a same-sex wedding, how far away are we from courts simply ordering the "switch" to be turned off on the bank accounts of those who are deemed "terrorists" of the peace? Or perhaps, more subtly, after the collapse of the dollar and the rise of a new global economic system, could a technology be implemented that also demands adherence to the principles of a "global treaty"? Already, banks have begun to implement "fine print" that insists that their customers are "tolerant" and "inclusive".
"The Apocalypse speaks about God's antagonist, the beast. This animal does not have a name, but a number. In [the horror of the concentration camps], they cancel faces and history, transforming man into a number, reducing him to a cog in an enormous machine. Man is no more than a function. In our days, we should not forget that they prefigured the destiny of a world that runs the risk of adopting the same structure of the concentration camps, if the universal law of the machine is accepted. The machines that have been constructed impose the same law. According to this logic, man must be interpreted by a computer and this is only possible if translated into numbers. The beast is a number and transforms into numbers. God, however, has a name and calls by name. He is a person and looks for the person."
Strangers and sojourners
It is evident that Christians in Western society have become the new "outsiders"; in Eastern nations, we have become targets. As the number of martyrs in the past century exceeds all of the centuries before them combined, it is clear that we have entered into a new persecution of the Church that is becoming more aggressive by the hour. This too is another "sign of the times" that we are getting closer to the Eye of the Storm.
Yet, all of this I have been writing and warning about for a decade now, along with many other voices in the Church. The words of Jesus are echoing in my ears…
"I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you." (John 16:4)
This is all to say, brothers and sisters, that the winds are going to get more fierce, the changes more rapid, the Storm more violent. Again, the Seven Seals of Revolution form the beginning of this Storm, and we are watching them break open in real-time on the daily news.
But in all of this, God has a plan for His faithful people.
At the end of April, I shared with you a word on my heart: Come Away With Me. I sensed the Lord calling us, once again, out of Babylon, out of the world into the "desert." What I didn't share at the time was my deeper sense that Jesus is calling us much like he did the "desert Fathers" — those men who fled the temptations of the world into the solitude of the desert in order to safeguard their spiritual life. Their flight into the wilderness formed the basis of Western monasticism and a new way of combining work and prayer.
My sense is that the Lord is preparing physical places that Christians may be called to gather, either voluntarily or through displacement. I saw these places for Christian "exiles", these "parallel communities", in an interior vision which came to me several years ago while praying before the Blessed Sacrament (see The Coming Refuges and Solitudes). Yet, it would be wrong for us to think of these only as refuges for the future. Right now, Christians need to band together, to form bonds of unity to strengthen, support, and encourage one another. For persecution is not coming: it is already here.
Thus, I was fascinated to read an editorial that appeared in TIME magazine this past weekend. I was deeply moved for obvious reasons and quote it in part here:
"…orthodox Christians must understand that things are going to get much more difficult for us. We are going to have to learn how to live as exiles in our own country… we are going to have to change the way we practice our faith and teach it to our children, to build resilient communities."
It is time for what I call the Benedict Option. In his 1982 book After Virtue, the eminent philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre likened the current age to the fall of ancient Rome. He pointed to Benedict of Nursia, a pious young Christian who left the chaos of Rome to go to the woods to pray, as an example for us. We who want to live by the traditional virtues, MacIntyre said, have to pioneer new ways of doing so in community. We await, he said "a new ? and doubtless very different ? St. Benedict."
Throughout the early Middle Ages, Benedict's communities formed monasteries, and kept the light of faith burning through the surrounding cultural darkness. Eventually, the Benedictine monks helped refound civilization.
Indeed, Pope Benedict warned that "the faith is in danger of dying out like a flame which no longer has fuel" in his letter to all the bishops of the world.
We are drawing closer, faster, and nearer to the Eye of the Storm.
"I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you." (John 16:4)
… and then, be still, be faithful, and await the hand of the Lord who is a refuge to all who remain in Him.

Push for expansion on Anzac Hill
Mayor Damien Ryan says the viewing area on Anzac Hill should be expanded to cope with the increasing numbers of people attending Anzac Day events

Alice Springs Mayor Damien Ryan is pushing for an expansion to the viewing area on top of Anzac Hill in order to cope with an increased attendance of Anzac Day services.
Mayor Ryan says he has spoken to Federal Minister Snowdon about the idea and is hoping for a positive response.
[I approached Minister Snowdon] because of his position assisting the Prime Minister towards the Centenary of Anzac and he's offered to get back to us," he says.
"There are different funds out there between now and 2015 (the centenary)...I'd like to see a partnership between local, Territory and Federal Government."
Mr Ryan says there has been a renewal of interest around Anzac Day and more and more people are attending Anzac Day events like the Dawn and mid-morning services on Anzac Hill.
"There are so many more who are involved now in Anzac Day and it's great in our town to see how many schools march and go to the top of the hill, but not everyone can fit on that pad that was originally put up there."
"My vision is to build a slatted walkway out from the base so as we don't disturb Anzac Hill as it is, [because] Anzac Hill has lots of significance for lots of different people in our community."
"If we were at the back of the hill behind the Cenotaph looking towards the Gap...on your left hand sand it drops away down towards Anzac Oval,...that side there, you could build from about where the road joins, all the way round to where the Lions Walk comes up over the top."
"I think you'd find about 800 or so more people could attend."
It's estimated the expansion would cost around $500,000.
