You may be right that a person can't be completely against abortion without being Catholic. I am a Protestant. I am pro-choice because my God is pro-choice, and because "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" and "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me . . . to preach deliverance to the captives . . . to set at liberty them that are bruised." For me, as for the Founding Fathers of the US who closed the Declaration of Independence with "to this we pledge our lives, our swords, and our sacred honor," life may not be sacred, but honor is, and if some things are not more important than life, for what will you, like Jesus Christ, lay down your life?
You are right, though. The Republicans will never again be able to have a successful presidential candidate until they stop trying to use human law and the police violence of its enforcement to control women's sex organs against their will, conscience, and freedom of religion because that's just too much like rape.RepliesI allowed this comment, after some thought, not because there is anything here that I agree with. I certainly didn't allow it for the blasphemous use of Scripture. I allowed it because it demonstrates so clearly what I'm trying to get across in this post.
This filthy Protestant confuses the freedom of the Sons of God and liberty from the tyranny of sin with the licence to be immoral. Is there any better demonstration of the perversion at the heart of Martin Luther's psyche, a perversion that runs through Protestantism? They twist Holy Scripture to allow for their sexual perversion! This pervert actually puts a woman's genitalia above the Law of God!
For this filthy pervert to presume to speak to us about laying down our lives, we who are the adherents of the true faith for which millions have been martyred!, demonstrates either utter delusion or complete ignorance, both of which Protestantism has fostered since its inception.
This, folks, is the Protestantism that Catholic Pro-Lifers have tried to walk hand-in-hand with!

It is somewhat consoling to know that the souls of aborted babies, at the very least, spend an eternity of natural happiness in Limbo.

Mr. Werling,
Thank you for a forceful and compelling analysis. I also appreciated your letting the murder-endorsing, blaspheming Anonymous comment through because it is so utterly ridiculous. It really does illustrate exactly your point! It's not a bad analysis, but it has the vice of defining the pro-life movement into being just what the author is.....a traditionalist Catholic movement. Which is a tiny minority within the Church in this country. And the Church is a rather small minority within the country. Would the ideological pure efforts of a few tens of thousands traditional Catholics be better than millions of people with mixed motives and ideological confusion? How effective would that tiny, but pure, entity be? What would it accomplish other than making you feel more secure? And I say this as a traditionalist Catholic.
I sense in this something like the rhetoric I'm reading about starting up 3rd parties as a response to this disaster. It's a great idea, if you want democrat electoral dominance for many years to come. Which, perhaps they'll achieve that, anyway, but I remind everyone that in 2004 the democrats were doing the exact same exasperated soul searching as conservatives are now, having just lost a 3rd election in a row and seeming to face an insuperable juggernaut in the Bush/Rove machine. Well, look how things have turned out since? The Republican party is in trouble, because their base has contracepted and aborted itself to a position of minority status, but to say they are done, 2 days after an election, is a bit emotional.
And, there is pro-life, and pro-life. Some people are pro-life in their thoughts and maybe with voting, but others are out there every day counseling women, running crisis pregnancy centers, protesting outside mills, etc. There are many really good protestants engaged in these efforts. And there are protestants with whom you share far more in common than with 90+% of Catholics in terms of belief. Catholics who ape what the anonymous commenter in this thread said. What we are seeing, is a great sorting of the faithful in all Christian denominations/sects, and, I pray, many of these will come back to the One True Faith.RepliesI'm debating on whether to make my response to this comment a whole new post all together. At any rate, thanks for the well though out and articulated commented.
For the time being, I'll offer a couple of things.
I'm a bit surprised that you took from my thoughts a semblance to starting up 3rd parties. I should make it clear that, as stated in the post, the fundamental problem with the Pro-Life Movement is that it adopted all the strategies and trappings of a political movement, when it should have been a religious movement. I'm certainly not advocating any kind of political solution. Political solutions can't work. They won't work.
The size of the Remnant hardly matters if we aren't seeking a political solution. I think the problem is, is that we have been conditioned to think in terms of voluntarism, in terms of being activists instead of being religionists. We have to move beyond the volutarist/activist model, which has obviously failed, and put the emphasis back on what we are supposed to be: Catholics.
My point is, we, faithful, devout, traditional Catholics, do not have a nation. Our country is certainly not the United States of America. We are now in a type of Babylonian Captivity. We are captives in a nation of iniquity. We have as much chance of shaping this country and this culture as the Israelites did in shaping the politics of Babylon. Our focus can't be on achieving political solutions, but rather on the things of our faith: the Kingdom of God, the salvation of souls, the advancement in virtue and holiness, preparation for martyrdom, resistance to the culture of death (by counseling women, running crisis pregnancy centers, protesting outside abortion mills, and a plethora of other good works not necessarily connected with the issue the abortion). But we can't fool ourselves into believing that we are anything other than captives in a nation of iniquity.
Here is something that you might find interesting: http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2012/11/05/do-christians-have-a-duty-not-to-engage-culture/
In regards to my opinion that the Republican Party is finished, it isn't emotional at all, nor is it something that I arrived at 2 days after the election. It is based in large measure on the thoughts of Patrick Buchanan who has been saying this for years, and which he articulated very well in his most recent book, Suicide of a Superpower. Just this morning he reiterated his argument at his blog. Please read his entry here:
In regards to good Protestants... well, if they are good Protestants did any of the Catholic Pro-Lifers attempt to make them Catholics? If not, why not? And if the Catholic Pro-Lifers did attempt to convert them to the true faith, and they refused, then how can we call them "good". They stubbornly adhere to error. If in the end salvation depends on our good works and not faith, then I'm sure they are perfectly fine. But that is not what the Church teaches. Whenever I hear about good Protestants doing good things, I'm never surprised to find the error of Pelegianism lurking in the background.
Do Catholic Pro-Lifers take their faith more seriously than saving unborn babies? If they don't then they are wrong! Someone asked me in an email how my anti-baby killing position logically flowed from my Catholic faith. I replied, simply, that I'm against baby-killing, especially unborn babies, because it prevents the salvation of that child's soul. Is that the primary concern of Catholic Pro-Lifers? Not in my experience. In my experience, most Catholic Pro-Lifers think those aborted babies go straight to heaven, and this in contradiction to what the Church teaches. That approach hasn't worked, and the primary reason is that Catholic Pro-Lifers didn't put faith before the movement.
I hope this helps to clarify my position.

Thank you so much for this Blog and this article. You bring up very sad but true points. The Pro- Life Movement needs the entire Catholic Vote. As Fulton Sheen said: America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not. It is suffering from tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded." And that greatly extends to Protestants. We need to use these next 4 years and beyond to reach the hearts and open the eyes of all who are baptized and call them self Catholic Traditional or not. That's the first step, getting Traditional values back into the Church. Then Convert as many Protestants through true faith or draw a line in the sand and leave them behind. We can change Washington with the WHOLE Catholic Vote! We need good informed Catholics like you to keep spreading the Truth. People will eventually open their eyes.

Last weekend, my friend threw a Sunday Football bash and I asked you to help me find a cute casual look for the festivities. Sure enough, I indulged in sinful cheesy dips and BBQ wings, but no regrets here. That's what exercising is for, right? I had so much fun, I even stopped by my parents' house and joined my dad in watching the evening game.
I started you off with these Falke Striggings Arm Warmers ($29) because they were sporty and cozy. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look #1, created by maria212134, is all about sporty fun. Those vintage Chucks are dope, and I'll skip the cute cardigan since I have my trusty arm warmers.

Just a quick update to indicate I've updated the download link at the bottom of this page with Riven X 0.7d3. I'm still in the process of restoring the layout of my project pages and some of my build and testing infrastructure, as well as migrating the old Trac wiki to Launchpad. In any case, progress continues with Riven X, with recent additions to supported editions.

Other changes include performance improvements and a large amount of bug fixes.
January 20, 2008

August 16, 2006
A new binary build is now available. Of particular interest, this build should function correctly on Intel Macs, as I was able to test Riven X on shiny new Mac Pros at last week's WWDC.
I've also made it easier to go to a particular card. Just type card in the debug shell and off you go. And as always, bug reports are appreciated
April 24, 2006
First of all, I'd like to wave a hand at people coming from Ludomac and Mac4Ever. Ce projet est pour vous, les fans!
Secondly, I'd like to address BootCamp, because it obviously negates the necessity of Riven X for Intel Macs as one can easily reboot into Windows and play Riven natively there. Except not, because dual-booting sucks. It takes you away from Mac OS X and very few people in the usual MYST crowd will want to do that. Not to mention you need to buy Windows (if you care about your Karma-type thing), maintain it and deal with fun things like Windows losing to malware. Virtualization may be a more viable solution, and that saddens me in that Riven X isn't as important as it used to be, however both these technologies were inevitable and so this project will continue on until completion.
Thirdly, I'll be writing a guide in the near future on compiling, installing and running the Riven X tech demos /alphas / betas with a comprehensive list of limitations and known bugs. This should make it easier for testers and people interested in compiling the thing (for reason I cannot imagine, I guess it can be fun).
And finally, I haven't released a binary build in a long time because I've hit a pretty serious issue with MPEG-2 Audio Layer II decompression. Technically, sound support (as well as a myriad of bug fixes from the last tech demo release) are available on Subversion, however as of now Layer II resources that are looped in-game (such as ambiance) will have a noticeable artifact every loop cycle.
March 19, 2006
As indicated on the main Trac wiki page, I have created two mailing lists to support the Riven X project. The first is your standard -devel mailing list, used for discussions pertaining to the development of Riven X, and the second is a read-only mailing list that receives Subversion commit messages and Trac notifications.
Just hop over to the development wiki for the appropriate links.
February 6, 2006
I have updated the Riven X tech demo to build r63. This build actually is universal, whereas the previous ones were in fact PowerPC only. In addition, I have fixed several major byte order bugs and corrected issues in picture rendering and Riven Script program execution. I think this build has bug-free picture rendering, within the limits of not having game state variables yet.
February 4, 2006
I have updated the Riven X tech demo to build r59. It contains major fixes to card record loading and byte order handling.
February 3, 2006
The Riven X tech demo is now available. THIS IS A HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL, HIGHLY INCOMPLETE, HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE BUILD. You've been warned.
More details in my Riven X tech demo entry.
January 20, 2006
I'd simply like to point out that the Classic environment does not work with Rosetta, Apple's PowerPC translation technology for Intel Macs. Riven X is therefore the only way the coming generation will be able to enjoy this landmark video game.
October 30, 2005
Here begins the public story of my most ambitious project to date. Riven™, the sequel to MYST™ and the greatest adventure game of all times, is coming to Mac OS X™. Of course, you may not share my dedication or even dislike the adventure genre, but it remains unquestionable that Riven™ was a stunning game back in 1997 when it was released by now-famous Cyan Worlds, and to a large degree it still is. Of course, Riven™ uses old compression technology and small frame sizes, but the detail and realism that can be found in every single image still amaze me.
The project is in its infancy but I expect something barely playable in November.
"The ending can never truly be written", indeed.
Riven X is the rebirth of the best episode in the MYST™ saga for Mac OS X. The same content, the same wonder, a brand-new engine. Although Riven™ was released in 1997 for both Mac OS and Windows, it was never updated to be a native Mac OS X application. With Intel Macs becoming dominant meaning the loss of the Classic environment, something had to be done in order for future generations of Mac users to enjoy Riven™. Thanks to the work of dedicated individuals, in particular Tito Dal Canton, the Riven™ data files were reversed engineered, thus paving the way for a new engine.
There is one other project striving to re-implement Riven that I am aware of, but their commitment to Mac OS X, let alone to their endeavor itself, was more than debatable when I started planning Riven X in June 2005. Therefore, I decided to move forward with Riven X and cooperate as much as possible with the Fissure project.
Riven X contains no copyrighted material from the original game with the exception of localized Extras.MHK archives (because extraction of that file from the original CD edition's VISE installer is not possible). Reverse engineering was performed to decipher the Riven™ archive files and the Riven™ data files contained therein, but such reverse engineering was not performed with the intent of distributing copyrighted content or otherwise circumventing digital rights management technology. Riven X requires a legal copy of Riven™ to play.

Beatles - Son Of The Man Who Snubbed The Beatles Acquires Fab Four's Early Hits
The son of the man who famously turned down the Beatles has now acquired John Lennon and Paul Mccartney's early hits as a partner at boutique music publisher Round Hill Music.
Richard Rowe, whose father DICk passed on signing the Fab Four when he was an executive at Decca Records, and Round Hill founder Joss Gruss have landed the songs She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There, Misery, From Me to You, There's a Place and I Wanna Be Your Man - one of the first hits for The Rolling Stones - among a catalogue of classics as part of a new partnership with Adage Classics.
The catalogue also contains other songs including Come Go with Me by the Del-Vikings and Gene MCDaniel's 100 Pounds of Clay.
Rowe says, "Although my father was head of A&R for Decca Records and signed the Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens and others, he was mainly remembered as the man that turned down the Beatles... To have this opportunity to acquire these early major Beatles songs has been a dream come true."
Richard Rowe also made the deal with Michael Jackson and John Branca, the lawyer who was the become the executor of the King of Pop's estate, to create Sony/Atv, which included most of the Beatles catalogue.
Round Hill Music will now administer the North American rights to the early Beatles songs.

Once upon a time at the end of a long twisted path was a house, it was Mara of the Rose's house...
The path was so long and twisted that anyone who ever attempted to try to get to see the magical woman they called Mara of the Rose, always gave up! Thus, Mara lived all alone with only the animals in the forest. She learned a lot from the animals and nature, but had no one to talk to for many years. But one bright summery day when she was out gathering herbs, underneath an old log was a little creature that looked like a little man! You guessed it - it was a Gnome! His name was Knarf.
Mara knew all about gnomes, but this was the first time she had the privilege of really getting to know a gnome. She told Knarf how lonely she was and that no one visited her because she lived so far away! But that was soon over. Knarf brought all of his family and friends over to meet Mara. After that day, Mara had plenty of company. In fact, gnomes from all over the world knew where they could get a good meal, and some good conversation! Now Mara of the Rose learned even more from the gnomes. She only wished that someday she could tell you all she knew.
Sadly, Mara just grew older and wiser, but had no one to share her wisdom with. As time went on she would look in the mirror and see more and more wrinkles appearing. Sometime she would laugh, wondering who the old woman staring back at her was! And other times she became sad when she realized how quickly she was growing old. She began to think she resembled the old wicked "witch" in "Sleeping Beauty," but Mara was from being wicked. In fact, she was one of the kindest people in the whole world, but she had no one to share her kindness with.
Most of the evenings during the summer, Mara would join the gnomes in the grove as they told stories around a fire. Mara told the story of 'Sleeping Beauty' and the old hag who gave the beautiful princess the poisoned apple. To the gnomes, hags were not necessarily looked upon as evil, but rather wise old women! They really didn't like the part about the poisoned apple, especially when Mara said that she was beginning to feel like the old hag! Of course, the gnomes didn't see Mara as an ugly old hag, but rather a very beautiful, wise and very kind person.
Knarf had an idea after Mara finished her story. He excitedly told the other gnomes. "That is what Mara needs - an Apple!" The other gnomes were disturbed and angry that Knarf would think of such a thing-an apple for Mara! They thought old Knarf had lost it! Who would want to give a poisoned apple to Mara?
But you see, Knarf was a very intelligent gnome who had kept up with modern technology!
Soon it was that time of the year when the gnomes all had to head to the North Pole, leaving Mara all alone. They were very sad, except for Knarf, who had something else on his mind. He had a special favor to ask the most famous gnome of all, Santa. His request, "Santa we know a very special lady who needs an Apple!"
Santa's eyes twinkled, as he replied,"I know just what you mean and who you are talking about, and there is one already to load on my sleigh!"
Now the other gnomes thought what ever went wrong with Knarf, Santa had it too!
And that was exactly what happened. Santa brought Mara an Apple that Christmas-a brand new Mac that is! And ever since then she has been busy putting together stories, recipes and a lot of other surprises! Mara can talk to the whole world from her Apple computer and still live way off in the distant forest on that long and twisted path. This wonderful mystic can share the wisdom she has acquired from nature, the gnomes and the woodland creatures with the whole world now!
Visit the Gnome Home and Mara often, as she frequently adds new stories, helpful hints, recipes, and some wise old ideas that she sends to you with a lot of love!
Also visit the links to other sites in the Gnome Gneighborhood!
Thank you and we hope to see you soon!

Following the Paper Trail
19 Jul 2012For those with ancestors in non-English-speaking countries, one barrier to research can be reading documents. Even those in English-speaking countries may find records written in Latin that can hamper them. Americans can face records of ethnic churches and other organizations here that employed the native tongue of the members. There is a great resource that has been around for quite some time to help researchers with these records.
Published by Avotaynu, Following the Paper Trail: A Multilingual Translation Guide by Jonathan D. Shea and William F. Hoffman first appeared in 1994. It contains more than 200 pages of valuable assistance for reading and translating non-English documents. Thirteen Germanic (German and Swedish), Romance (French, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish), Slavic (Czech, Polish, and Russian), and other (Hungarian and Lithuanian) languages are represented.
The discussion of each language starts with the alphabet for that language. The alphabet is shown in Roman (or printed) and cursive forms from A to Z (or Zed). Letters with diacriticals appear. There may be other assistance as well. For example, the German alphabet includes Fraktur versions of the letters, and the Russian alphabet includes English phonetic equivalents of the letters.
Each section also includes a list of vocabulary terms. These are words that appear in records that are commonly used in genealogical research and their English equivalents. You will also find a list of first names, and their English translations.
But one of the best features of the book comes in the sample documents. For each language, you will find examples of all types of records you may come across in your research. From civil vital records and church records to ship records, passports, and other immigration records, a wide variety of information is presented.
Images of the records are accompanied by an analysis of the record and translation of the significant words. These samples are critical to learning how to use records. What better way to learn than by seeing original records analyzed and transcribed to you can understand them?
It says a lot that an eighteen-year-old book is still in print. You can buy Following the Paper Trail directly from Avotaynu, or from Amazon.com and a number of other online retailers. Through the years, I have found this book very helpful in working with records in unfamiliar records.
