"You're getting sleepy…Very, very sleepy…focus on the watch…"
For many, when they hear the word "hypnotist," what comes to mind is an old movie or TV show.
In reality, hypnosis performed by a certified clinical hypnotist can help people who suffer from chronic pain, crippling phobias, or even the reduction of side effects felt by some going through cancer treatments.
Dr. Zastrow, a family practitioner at Hugh Chatham Family Practice, will be speaking on the subject at a lunch and learn event on Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Medical Conference Room at the hospital. This event is open to the public, and it is opened on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those who want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Zastrow can call (336) 526-2307.
As a teenager, Dr. Joseph Zastrow, now a family practitioner at Hugh Chatham Family Practice in Elkin, first experienced the positive power of hypnosis through his younger brother. Dr. Zastrow's brother suffered from a developmental bone disease, and could not tolerate pain medications. After he had his wisdom teeth removed, a certified clinical hypnotist relieved his pain and taught him self hypnosis. With future medical procedures that followed, Dr. Zastrow's brother relied on hypnosis to reduce pain to the point that only Tylenol was needed to alleviate what little pain he had.
With clinical hypnosis, a therapist can make suggestions designed to help one formulate specific internal processes (feelings, memories, images and internal self-talk) that can lead to a pre-determined outcome, such as experiencing less pain, overcoming fears, and so on.
Hypnosis is described as a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention. An analogy is like using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun and make them more powerful. Similarly, when your mind is concentrated and focused, you are able to use it in powerful, positive ways, such as reducing pain, or warding off fear.
After practicing family medicine for a number of years, Dr. Zastrow took the opportunity to become a certified clinical hypnotist in 2000 from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). "It's pretty extensive training process that includes a total of 60 hours of classroom time and monitored training," he said. "The society restricts training to psychologists and other health professionals such as physicians, dentists and masters degree-level nurses, social workers, and therapists. Clinical hypnosis is only to be used in conformance with ASCH's own training and licensing laws." Today, ASCH has 1,700 members, and Dr. Zastrow is the Society's president.
Once certified, Dr. Zastrow incorporated hypnosis into his care regimen for many of his patients.
"The reality is that hypnosis isn't really putting people in a 'trance.' I serve more as a coach to help people focus attention on what is ailing them, so to speak," Dr. Zastrow said.
As an example, Dr. Zastrow recently had a patient who had an enormous fear of needles. "She desperately needed a procedure done to preserve her health, but her phobia of needles was greater than her need to get well. After one session we got to the bottom of what her fear stemmed from, and she called me from the recovery room after her procedure to let me know she got through it. She even went on to get a flu shot!"
Beside the absolute care of patients, Dr. Zastrow has accomplished research. He even had the opportunity to see what the mind can do with a study of a NASCAR pit crew.
"Pit crews are all about precision and speed. The slightest distraction can cause things to go wrong very quickly. With one team, I saw through video how some of the guys were slipping up. After a few sessions of hypnosis, we helped them gain focus, speed and consistency. As an example, one guy was having trouble getting the second lug nut on correctly every time. After hypnosis, he never missed."
Research has demonstrated that hypnosis can help a lot of people in a number of ways, including:
Treatment of chronic pain conditions from injuries or arthritis.
Reduction of pain during childbirth.
Reduction of nausea and vomiting by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Elimination or reduction of skin conditions, such as warts. (Ever hear the saying "talk the warts off"?)
Alleviation of symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Common myths about hypnosis are that you won't remember anything, or that it leads to memory enhancement, that you could be made to do something you don't want to, or that your actions can be controlled under hypnosis, Zastrow says.
"The myths are just that…myths," Dr. Zastrow said. "The mind is a very powerful thing. Through hypnosis, you can achieve some incredible things. I've seen it work, and that's all the proof most need."

No, Marcial Maciel was not like Mary Magdalene, at all - UPDATED
Mollie Wilson O'Reilly August 26, 2014 - 12:55pm
Don't miss Jason Berry's lengthy update on the Legion of Christ's ventures in the Holy Land, in the National Catholic Reporter this week. How has the order coped with diminishment and disgrace following the belated exposure and censure of its founder, serial sexual abuser and all-around con artist Marcial Maciel? Oh, you know, they're working on it.
"Marcial Maciel's initials are also MM, just like Mary Magdalene. She had a problematic past before her deliverance, so there's a parallel. Our world has double standards when it comes to morals. Some people have a formal, public display and then the real life they live behind the scenes.
"But when we accuse someone else and we are quick to stone him, we must remember that we all have problems and defects. With modern communications so out of control, it is easy to kill someone's reputation without even investigating about the truth. We should be quieter and less condemning."
Berry quotes the above from a booklet promoting the Legion's new project, the $100 million Magdala Center at the Sea of Galilee. (Learn more at this website -- but be warned, there's a startling autoplaying introductory video.) The author is Fr. Juan María Solana. [UPDATE: Solana has apologized and the booklet has been withdrawn: see below.]
When the allegations against Maciel were first surfacing in the media, I remember hearing that rank-and-file Legionaries themselves were shielded from the worst of it. That, at least, was the excuse offered for why some priests didn't leave the order sooner. Given the amount of control Maciel and his fellow leaders exerted over the lives of their recruits, it seems plausible. But Maciel is dead; his corruption and crimes are definitively exposed; the order is supposedly reforming itself under Rome's supervision. So what's the excuse now for someone in a leadership position with the LCs to be referring to Maciel as having had any kind of "deliverance" (when, in fact, he and the order denied the allegations against him to the end of his life, even after Benedict removed him from ministry and ordered him to a life of repentance), or using his story as an example of how "We should be quieter and less condemning"?
I understand how awkward it must be for anyone who remains with the Legion of Christ to talk about their founder, given that the order itself has always been directly based in the spiritual leadership of Maciel. But if you can't talk about him honestly, non-defensively, with a sense of shame and sorrow and not self-pity, then maybe just don't talk about him at all.
It is hard to believe that any person would apply that last paragraph of Solana's to Maciel, given how he escaped censure for so very long, and how in fact it was his accusers, and those who broadcast their stories, whose reputations were attacked. Andrew Sullivan compiled a helpful reminder of just how widespread defense of Maciel was among high-profile Catholics, and how vituperative their attacks on people like Jason Berry could be. I have tried to find an original source for some of those comments, but as near as I can tell they were mostly gathered from a collection of supportive letters posted on a site run by the Legion -- legionaryfacts.org -- which is now inactive. But Richard John Neuhaus's lengthy defense of the Legion and Maciel in First Things, from March 2002, is worth reading in full, and still online here -- scroll down to "Feathers of Scandal," and keep on reading through several more subheds. He goes back and forth between attacking the journalists who'd reported on Maciel's past and praising the holiness of Maciel's person and project, always, of course, maintaining the tone of one who's above all this sordid business but must reluctantly stoop to explain it. There's even a swipe at the Jesuits along the way. It's really vintage stuff.
Berry's article details the Legion of Christ's diminished presence in the United States and elsewhere, including the sale of a number of properties (at least one "at a fire-sale price") and the closings of schools and seminaries. Fundraising goes on, however, for this Holy Land project. I can't imagine who, at this point, would have the LCs at the top of their philanthropic giving list. But raising money is one thing the founder was indisputably good at.
I also have to wonder why, if the Legion is naming its new complex after St. Mary Magdalene, their notion of who she was and what she stands for seems so constrained and frankly out-of-date (at least based on the excerpts Berry cites from the booklet Magdala: God Really Loves Women). All we actually know about her story before she began following Jesus is that she was named by Luke among "some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven spirits had gone out" (Lk 8:2). Her traditional association with the woman taken in adultery and/or the woman who washed Jesus's feet with her hair is, basically, an error in scriptural interpretation that, helped along by a misogynistic tendency to associate women with sexual sin (and not much else), became the standard take for too many years. But that approach has been discredited for a long time, and she is now lauded as "Apostle to the Apostles," one of Jesus's most faithful followers, the first witness to the resurrection. Not a bad figure to hang a ministry on. (And that ministry may be more appropriate than Solana's reference to "women who have suffered tremendously because of moral problems" makes it sound. When I looked at the project site for more information, I found only this description: "The location of Magdala and the person of Mary Magdalene in the Gospel inspire us to have a center which highlights the role of women as seen in the gospel and in religions as well.") But a very bad figure to compare to Marcial Maciel. Even if, as Fr. Solana begins by observing, "Marcial Maciel's initials are also MM, just like Mary Magdalene." The sad thing is, he would have sounded much less foolish if he'd just stopped there.
UPDATE 8/28: I have just received a statement via email from the Legion of Christ's communications director, Jim Fair, apologizing for the comparison of Maciel and Mary Magdalene in the Magdala booklet. I will paste it here:
Dear friends in Christ,
The past five years have been a time of challenge and change for the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi. We have faced the disappointment of horrible scandal – and embraced the hope of renewal.
We have undergone an intense self-examination and revision of our constitutions and statutes. We are firmly set on a path of reform that I believe will make us better servants of Christ and His Church.
Unfortunately, this week we experienced what must feel like a detour from our path forward. It is not.
I want to assure you that we are, indeed, determined to stay on course. And I want to share this response from Fr Juan Solana, director of the Magdala Center:
"I personally and profoundly apologize for my reflections in the booklet, Magdala: God Really Loves Women, published this summer by the Magdala Center in Jerusalem, which is managed by the Legion of Christ. The passages in question suggest a comparison between Mary Magdalene and Legion Founder Marcial Maciel, which clearly is inappropriate and poorly chosen. I was trying to make a point about compassion and forgiveness in light of the Legion's history, but realize now that my words were awkward and suggest a reverence for our founder that we clearly reject. Again, I'm sorry for any hurt this has caused. And we are no longer distributing the booklet. – Fr Juan Solana LC"
I have known Fr Juan for many years and appreciate his response. Please keep him in your prayers and continue to pray for the success of the Magdala Project, which draws support from Christians of all denominations, Jews and Bible scholars from around the world.
Yours in Christ,
Fr John Connor LC
Commenting Guidelines
A 100 million dollar facility for a disgraced order. Is God served here or Mammon? Sickening stuff. Like jihadist Islam. Get people who are seeking absolute orders and use them. This is truly nausea stuff.
She had a problematic past before her deliverance
As you say, not so! Duke NT professor Mark Goodacre has an interesting past podcast about her and how we have to "unlearn" the fiction of her as a repentant prostitute ... "Mary Magdalene: the first woman apostle" ... http://podacre.blogspot.com/2009/09/nt-pod-13-mary-magdalene-first-woman...
Another reason to suppress this group completely. Once a cult; always a cult.
This is a sick joke, right? Nobody would actually say or do this, would they?
Marcial Maciel's initials are also MM, just like Mary Magdalene.
My initials are JP. Hey, maybe I'm a pope!
Nothing makes me more angry than the power the LC wielded to work great injustice;
Did Neuhaus--or Weigel--or Glendon ever APOLOGIZE to those actual victims whose names they dragged through the mud, whose character they assaulted?
It is all the cult of appearances--RJN liked them because they looked good, acted conspicuously orthodox, and had money. A thin veneer over a lot of rot.
It really bothers me how many people associated with the LC dusted themselves off and reinvented themselves--with no accountability or checking.
. How many dioceses have taken in ex LC priests--no scrutiny, no reformation, no nothing.
I have never seen an article by anyone involved in RC or LC that involves deep soul-searching, saying "how was I duped," "how was I harmed by this spiritual formation," and "how have I harmed others"?"
Mainly they just shrugged their shoulders and moved on.
You can't have it both ways. You can't say spiritual formation matters. . . unitl it doen't becaue the people who formed you and the formation you received were severely twisted.
And I don't buy the "I ddin't know." Even before the accusations came out, it was apparent that there was something deeply wrong with that order.
John P - in that case, I want to be JPII.
John Prior
I always knew you were Papa in petto.
"It really bothers me how many people associated with the LC dusted themselves off and reinvented themselves--with no accountability or checking."
It takes a lot of humility to admit that youv'e been duped. I met recently a young man who had been in the LC sminary for 8 years. He said he left before the Maciel issue became known and because he discerned that he had a vocation to marriage. No remorse, anger or anything like that.
I have to take his comment on face value but I hope that he didn't see the quizzical look on my face.
(In addition, I guess that I find it hard to understand how someone would be so certain that he or she had a vocation to marriage without falling in love with someone. But, maybe it's just me.)
The statement by Solana, suggesting that Maciel's reputation has been unjustly defiled, is a huge red flag. Is the Holy See still supervising the order in some way? I note in Jason Berry's article that one of the people he interviewed stated that there is no outside control or supervision.
The initials thing is just inane.
Regarding Mary Magdalene, though: both Mark and Luke note that she had seven demons cast from her, which it seems to me can reasonably be construed as a "problematic past", without resorting to intimations of prostitution. Perhaps the Legion thinks of itself (or would like us to think of it) as having been exorcised of its past demons.
In addition, Daniel Harrington, SJ notes that MM seems to serve Mark's literary purpose: "Mary Magdalene is the principle of continuity insofar as she saw Jesus die (15:40), knew where he was buried (15:47) and went to the tomb on Easter (16:1)" [NJBC 41:107]. No doubt, the Legion would love to have continuity of its own, and may be identifying their new building project with MM for that purpose. But ...if that is the reason for naming their complex after her, then the initials thing isn't an inanity, it's another huge red flag: surely the only conceivably acceptable continuity for the Legion is a continuity from which Maciel is utterly expurgated.
Finally, the pre-reformed liturgy explicitly identified MM with the sinful woman who anoints Jesus' feet in Luke 7. The reformed liturgy has severed that connection, utilizing readings, antiphons and prayers that focus on the Resurrection. Does the Legion have an attachment to the old liturgy? I am not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if this thread of MM-as-penitent-woman continues to run through the spirituality of the Legion.
Marcial Maciel's initials are also MM, just like Mary Magdalene.
No, more like Marilyn Manson.
When looking at any person's life, we need to consider the sweep of their entire life. Mary Magdalen was the first witness to the resurrection, the first to proclaim the gospel (ironic that now women are literally barred from proclaiming the gospel at mass!). Jesus did not ask her to fondle the apostle's children, to divert funds away from the community and bring them to the apostle's mistress's children. That is what Maciel is known as because that is, in fact, who he was.
Second, some traditions hold that she spent her remaining years in the desert as a contemplative (once seen as the highest vocation and maybe it is). She did not go on a self promotional tour misrepresenting herself.
Furthermore, the Vatican requested that all his writings and picture be removed from all LC houses. This is blatant disregard certainly of the spirit of that directive. We have had enough of Nazi loving, holocaust denying SSPX bishops, this is all we don't need.
"... the Vatican requested that all his writings and picture be removed from all LC houses."
They didn't demand it?
The Maciel/Legionnaire of Christ debacle shows the tremendous results that money can buy. The Senate and House are held in disrepute by the vast majority of Americans. Their ratings are abysmally low. Yet the vast majority of incumbents get re-elected. Money is the reason. So here are the new leaders selling the lie again. They bought Cardinal Soldano who fought for them to the end. Now they are buying others. The architects who are arranging the building can care less about morals. The red carpet usually prevails over a good conscience.
If the order was really serious about changing directions and owning its true legacy, it should change its name to the Order of St. Mathias. That would be appropriate given that Mathias was the apostle who replaced Judas.
I guess we should just be grateful Maciel didn't die a decade earlier. If so, his canonization might have been put on the fast track by the powers-that-be a la Escriva. Can you imagine trying to explain St. Marcial the child molester?
If past performance is the best predictor of future performance, and if the same folks are still attracted to both the name "LC/RC" and its underlying philosophy and psychology, then Rome needs to disband this outfit once and for all. A doggy pile by any other name is still a doggy pile.
Thank you Helen. "Requested" certainly strikes me as high level pussyfooting around.
We were involved with this outfit for some years. We still know a lot of people who are. The rotteness at the core is not something that can be "reformed". There is nothing to REform to--the original form was founded on lies, deceit, fraud, drug addiction, and sexual predation of the worst kind, priest-on-child.
There have been whispers from the inside that eventually Maciel will be vindicated, and some who are now on the outside have noted an attempt at a slow white-wash. This comparison to Mary Magdalene (quite frankly, it makes me sick to my stomach and is a massive insult to her) is probably just an attempt to start floating some of the white wash more publicly to see what sticks.
The sad part is that a lot of Catholics will probably read it and won't even see it as a red flag. Blech.
A while ago there was a PBS Frontline documentary - "Secrets of the Vatican" - that had a part about Maciel ... an interview with a priest he corrupted and also an interview with his son. Very disturbing. There was a bit about abuse victims advocate Fr. Tom Doyle too. You can watch it here ... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/secrets-of-the-vatican/
Mickey Mouse. Marilyn Manson.
I don't think you meant "an interview with a priest he corrupted" but rather "an interview with a priest he abused."
Yes, you're right.
MM (Maryknoll Misionaries) are the the initials of the Maryknoll priests and sisters who have a h*** of a lot more credibility than the Legionaries of Christ.
MM. Yup.
Won't the real Slim Shady please stand up?Stand back, he's cleaning out his closet...
Or maybe Michael Milken - hundreds of millions in ill-gotten gains...
How about Maia Morgenstern - known for fictional portrayal of a saint.
Weren't the Jesuits once suppressed by the Vatican for the better part of a century because of their involvement in political intrique?
Couldn't we expect that the LofC at least merits the Vatican equivalent of the death penalty for their twisted development into a personal cult around the deification of Marciel? And the seeming congenital defect of the LofC for misuse of money?
The problem here of course is that all that ill-gotten money over decades has bought-off all too many corrupt hierarchs, especially in the Vatican curia. Jason Berry indicates in his books [Vows of Silence; Render Unto Rome] that Marciel understood that he needed a sustained presence in Rome because he needed the protection for Vatican hierarchs for his criminal enterprise - which he bought essentially with bribes in the form of charitiable donations into the pockets of Vatican operatives.
I must say the appropriation by the LofC of the slander of Mary Magdalene as a whore is really rich. Of course, blaming it on the woman in our religious tradition goes all the way back to Genesis. Whenever the hierarchy boys' concupiscence for money, power and sex gets the best of them, they hide behind the canard of blaming the seductress.
Besides, if modern exegetes are to be believed, Mary Magdalene could well have been more the "Beloved Disciple" than John the Apostle. Mary Magdalene apparently vied with James, Peter and Paul for leadership of the nascent Jesus movement. It was Mary Magdalene that the birth of the beliefs in the resurrection mythology are first sourced in both the NT and the non-canonicals.
[Is the recent Vatican attempts to suppress the LCWR just a modern version of this disturbing part of our Christian history?]
The hierarchs of the early church understood very well that if they wanted to keep control of the Jesus movement they needed trash the reputation of Mary Magdalene. I guess somethings never change.
@ Helen
"I find it hard to understand how someone would be so certain that he or she had a vocation to marriage without falling in love with someone."
I can't decide if you're being facetious or not. Without having met The One, a person can certainly be aware that he or she has a healthy libido, and that the Church's only approved outlet for it is marriage.
We have an ex-LC priest in our rural Wisconsin parish. Can't say I recommend the experience. The number of refugees seeking sanity in neighboring parishes is growing. Our bishop (Morlino) has already wrecked one parish in the diocese; why stop at just one?
Shayne: I know that you are referring to Morlino's debacle in Platteville. I'm originally from Cuba City. Are you willing to divulge the location of your parish?
St Clement, Lancaster.
St Rose is such a nice parish. We have been attending either Sts Thomas or Andrew in the twin cities of Potosi/Tennyson, or else at the Sinsinawa Mound, which is exceptional in so many ways.
St. Mary's in Plateville has the sacrament of Reconciliation seven days a week. St Clement's has it six days a week. It seems that they're doing something right.
Frank Gibbons,
Amazing! You can't admit it either it seems. Unfortunately the sacrament has often been an occasion for abuse. Would you send your son or daughter to them?
Resurrection mythology?! The first proclamation was he is risen! But the mistake of identifying Mary magdalen as the prostitite can be attributed to pope Gregory the great not the early church.
Back to the LC, I don't see much of this story around the other Catholic media and it should be!
I really don't see how the schedule of Reconciliation can serve as any measure of a parish's health, spiritual or otherwise. It's a ridiculous statement.
Shayne LaBudda - by the measuring stick of common pastoral practice in my diocese (Chicago), offering daily reconciliation would be well out of the ordinary. Daily reconciliation might be indicative of something. I don't think it was a ridiculous statement. If penitents are actually showing up every day, it might actually be a sign of spiritual health. Having 5 or 6 people show up during a weekly one-hour slot, as happens in some parishes around here, is a worrisome sign, probably a sign of the opposite of spiritual health.
Some statements made around here really are ridiculous. I've made a few, or more, over the years. Just a friendly suggestion to disagree with reasonable comments in ways that don't shut down dialogue. It's advice I should take more often, too.
Admit what? And who are "them"?
It may be indicative of something- but why are you so sure it is spiritual health? It could be scrupulosity or a desire to impress an in group. The lesson of the LC is don't judge by externals. There were lots of spiritual maggots eating away at souls that looked very pious from the outside.
Hi, Cathleen, I'm not sure whether your comment was addressed to me, but just speaking for myself, I'm not so sure that offering daily reconciliation is indicative of spiritual health. Nor am I so sure it isn't. I thought Shayne LaBudda's characterization of another comment as "ridiculous" was over the top. That's all.
And I agree with you re: the LC, externals and maggots. Maciel, in additon to being personally abusive, surely was a hornswoggler of epic proportions. That at least some LC leadership apparently is eager to resuscitate his reputation, strains credulity well past the breaking point. That is why, in a previous comment, I questioned whether the Holy See was still responsible for overseeing the order. Just so you know where I stand on the overall issue.
...strains credulity well past the breaking point.
But that's a good thing, isn't it? Credulity should be strained and broken.
Unfortunately the sacrament has often been an occasion for abuse. Would you send your son or daughter to them?
Yes, In a heartbeat!
@ George D: Mythology in the sense that a group seeks to explain nature, history and customs out of their own shared experiences of their shared reality.
Surely, with any honest reading of the NT accounts of the resurrection one has to acknowledge that there are competing narratives of the resurrection experience of the primitive Jesus community that are not synchronous, not all that internally or externally consistent, each one revealing more about the religious and political agenda of the writer/editor.
Obviously, these renditions of the resurrection were retold verbally for decades, changing from detail to detail for each narrator and audience alike, emphasizing a bias or deeply held belief, before they got to the written format that we experience them in the 21st century.
Gregory, Doctor of the Church, didn't just make-up his notions about Mary Magdalene out of thin air. He read the same scriptures as you and I have. When you include the non-canonical writings, it should be obvious from any close reading that there were attempts by different factions to marginalize and diminish the role and place of Mary Magdalene [and women in general] from the very beginning of the Jesus movement in Jerusalem after the emergence of the resurrection narratives.
More to my original point: Who is it that states "the first proclamation was he is risen!"? I believe the tradition gives that honor to Mary Magdalene.
On your final point about this story and Catholic media, I couldn't agree more. My guess is that is just cuts too close to the bone.
@ Bruce: I'd have to say that the "occasion for abuse" certainly tempered any encouragement I gave to my children about the practice of the scarament.
Wouldn't even take a heartbeat for me to try to protect my children from that horror!
Re: the risk of abuse in the sacrament of reconciliation: A practice that's pretty common around here is to have communal reconciliation during Advent and Lent. Confession and absolution take place individually, both in the traditional 'confessionals' and also at other stations that are set up around the church, consisting simply of chairs, kneelers and screens to protect identity if that is wished. (The priests from a few different nearby parishes come for these, so there are usually 9-10 different stations in all). These screened stations are in various corners and nooks of the worship space, so they afford the opportunity for private conversations with priests but also are entirely visible to the large crowd who comes to these services. It's a safe way to get one's children to the sacrament at least a couple of times a year.
NCR reports that the Legionaires have apologized for the book. An American leader in the order called Solana to protest
Bob Mickens has a meaningful take on Maciel and why the LC is stilll around:
"Why didn't he (Benedict) just banish him(Maciel) Why? Because the Legionaries of Christ is a large and very wealthy order and puts lots of money in the Vatican's coffers...
What should have happened was the order should have been disbanded; the members of that order should have been given psychological, spiritual help to discern whether or not they wanted to continue to be priests and find places that could accommodate them, either in dioceses to become diocesan priests or other religious orders. Why this has not been done — the only way I can explain it is it's too wealthy, it has too much money, it runs a lot of schools, and they're just afraid to shut this thing down."
I believe Jason Berry reiterated the thought that if the Legion were a small order, it would have been disbanded ages ago.
Follow the money...especially in Rome.
Ms. O'Reilly,
I've been following the abuse scandal for some 30+ years since Berry's revelations in Lafayette,Louisiana. I took your advice and read Neuhayus' defese of Maciel in First Things. I wonder if Neuhaus ever retracted his diatribe against Berry and Renner and admitted that his moral certainty had failed him. I wonder also how Neuhaus felt when BXVI removed Maciel and sent him off to a monastery where he died.
Papa Francesco should just disband them and be done with them. But then that entails property and money. Would that he were not pressed by some in the Curia who still defend the Legion.
I wonder if Neuhaus ever retracted his diatribe against Berry and Renner and admitted that his moral certainty had failed him. I wonder also how Neuhaus felt when BXVI removed Maciel and sent him off to a monastery where he died.
greg Carnevale - as a matter of fact, somehow the conversation in another current thread on dotCom (the one on the Wesolowski extradition) drifted to this very question. The closest Neuhaus ever came, that I'm aware of, to making the admission you're wondering about was in the August/September 2006 print edition of First Things, in Neuhaus's "On the Square" column for that edition. It's available here; I am not sure if it is behind a subscriber wall. If you're able to access it, scroll about 1/3 of the way down (his columns were quite long and this is just one of several topics he touched on that month) and read what is under the headings "Person, Charism and the Legionaries of Christ", and "What We Know".
Notice Mollie's update with the letter from a Legionnaire leader. All well and good until he asks for prayesfor the Magdala project. Not. Did the nuns ever come near this amoun of money for all the work they do? Money stil seems to be their mantra.
Carolyn Disco: I tried that link and got this:

These shoes are so much better in person! I could only buy these shoes online and I lucked out by getting the perfect size on the first try.lol! Thank you Adidas for supporting the LGBT community and creating these awesome shoes. ... read more
These definitely are the best shoes I've ever purchased in a while! The colors are vibrant, the shoe itself is very well made and comfortable. The cause behind these shoes are meaningful and beautiful. There's literally nothing I don't like about my shoes. I just want to walk around and dance in circles in them all day long. It will be even better if they come in smaller sizes :) ... read more
I bought a pair of these in February, & I've hardly taken them off since. They've become my "thing" among my friends. I purchased the classic white & black, & despite the gold details, they go great with everything. They were extremely comfortable from the first time I put them on. They didn't require any breaking in. The fit was great, other than that I had to lace up the very top hole & I have to retie them throughout the day to keep my heel from slipping out when I walk. This is probably because I wear a women's 8.5/9 & this is a men's shoe, however. They breathe well & my feet don't get too hot wearing them. Really comfortable to walk around in all day. I'm looking forward to buying more in the future! ... read more
It took me a month to actually become owner to a pair of these shoes... It was literally sold out everywhere, and even while I was looking, I had my doubts. I'm speaking sensibly here - no gushing about how 'perfect' these are, but really. When they came, they looked exactly like the photos, and it seems to be great quality as well. I'm a U.S. Women's 7 generally, and size 6 in these fit fine - a bit roomy, but that's how I like it and it can be easily fixed with thick socks etc. Overall, I'm very pleased with the project. Plus the shipping was very quick. ... read more
I love these shoes, these would be my third pair -- so I felt confident buying online. I looked at my old pair and purchased the sizing accordingly. But what arrived was the mens sizing. I thought these shoes were sized unisex and I ordered them while in the women's section. A bit confusing and annoying but I will try again once my refund comes through. ... read more
As there was no female model (I use 8), I bought male in size 6 1/2 (I decided for this size after a email with this recommendation from Adidas). I bought these tennis to use everyday! It's sturdy and very hip! I'm in love with this shoes. ... read more
I've seen a few people write that a lot of Adidas seem narrow. That's not it. You have to unlace their shoes and lace them back up. The difference will amaze you. Adidas may have made a couple of fashion tweaks to it but this is the same superstar that people have loved. I wish they left the logo on the tongue white but the shoe still looks good. It's still a very comfortable shoe. ... read more
I was looking for this product everywhere and it had been sold out on the run up to Christmas and after in sales. However I took a browse through the adidas website and they released these shoes on New Year's Day... Ordered straight away because of the popularity of the shoe and within days it was delivered and packed in the best of manner. Very pleased thanks adidas :) ... read more
I actually own the white canvas superstar that was released a couple years back so I was really happy I could get it a black partner in crime for summer! They're elegantly clean with no variation in black colour / tone / texture between the leather stripes or the canvas outsole, which means you can dress this shoe up or down for your days / nights out during the summer months. Adidas sizing [or my shape-shifting feet] strike again! I often have to purchase multiple sizes between 10 / 10.5 / 11 to find the perfect fit depending on the shape of the shoe. Given this is a canvas upper, it's very flexible, but the shoe footprint itself runs a little small, so I had to size up to an 11. If you can't find your size, fear not, tightening the laces up will make a difference given the flexibility of the outer material. An excellent staple to add to your summer wardrobe. ... read more
I've loved these shoes for many many years! I remember the first time I wore the adidas Superstar was like just before high school! adidas Superstar definitely are the MUST BUY ITEM, They're the classic pair of shoes and always on-trend, It's the best shoes ever, either with shorts, skirts, dresses or jeans!!! They are the best! ... read more
This has to be one of the first pair of kicks I've ever inticipated this highly on receiving!!! Now on to the Superstar Xeno...I must say Adidas had me in such a humble adoration that I had a huge grin on my face ear-to-ear! Right out of the box the shoe began to show its colors, and they were jaw-dropping to me. So after playing with them forever I used my iPhone for the flash to see them in their full 3M "effect", and continued to be amazed like a child...lol. Afterward I put them on my (wide) feet and they are comfortable as well. I have not one complaint on any aspect of this particular Xeno. ... read more
Although this is a man's shoe, the size chart helped me chose the correct size for me and the fit is perfect. The design is colorful and fun, yet shows support for the LGBT community. Thanks adidas for offering a portion of sales from the Pride Pack to Portland's New Avenues for Youth. ... read more
These shoes are truly stunning in person, very vibrant, colorful, and unique, but most of all high quality. The shoes are comfortable, with good insoles. I am very satisfied and content with my purchase. After getting my shipment, I decided to buy another pair. Adidas did a wonderful job with the design of the shoes. Order yours while they are still available. I noticed after a week, sizes are becoming limited. ... read more
Just received my pair today, they're divine! Chunky and cool and cute at the same time, and very very comfy. I'm usually a size 4,5, accidentally ordered a 4 but they fit like a glove fortunately. So a bit on the large side I'd say! Must have. ... read more
I normally wear a Men's 9 1/2 - 10 in sneakers and these SUPERSTARs were too long! I went down a half size to 9 1/2 because I have some SUPERSTAR 2G that are a 10 (mens) and they fit fine, but these were way too long. My heel was coming out of the back of the 9 1/2s! I had to send them back. I didn't re-order a smaller size either because the toe cap doesn't have the shape like the SUPERSTAR 2G had where it followed the contours of the ball of your foot. These look like any other sneaker with the oval-shaped top. ... read more

My husband and I went to our therapist today and she talked to us about having a memorial service for Amaya. We have been avoiding this for so long but she feels it is time to start thinking about what we want to do. I am lost. I have no idea what to do. We had her cremated and the funeral home has been holding her ashes for us. We could not bear to bring her home that way.
We had her in January and her due date is June and we have decided to have her memorial in May. I do not want to bury her in a cemetary. I would like some suggestions on what I should do. I want it to be special and intimate (small).

CRESTVIEW — Trailing Mosley by 21 points at the start of the fourth quarter Tuesday, the Crestview girls basketball team mounted a fast and furious comeback attempt outscoring the Dolphins 16-4 down the stretch.
But it wasn't enough as Mosley took the District 2-6A game 52-43.
Molly Woodward and Jensis Coleman were the engines that powered the Bulldog rally in the fourth quarter. Woodward, who led the Bulldogs with 14 points, did her damage from long range hitting a pair of 3-point baskets and a 2-pointer.
Coleman, who had 12 points on the night, scored all of her points at the free throw line as she hit 8-of-12 from the stripe in closing eight minutes of play.
Bulldog coach Kathy Combest clearly upset with the play of some of her starters that enabled the Dolphins to take the big lead.
"It says that more girls on the bench want to play more than the girls that are playing (starting)," she said. "My smallest girls are the ones that want to play. The biggest kids, I don't know what they want to do.
"They come out with no intensity. There is no way we should be down like that after the third quarter."
In reality the game was close for the first half.
Mosley (14-4) led 15-12 after one and 27-19 at the half. Alexis Ware, who led all scorers with 18 points, had 11 at the break.
Kiana Yangson set the tone for Mosley in the third quarter scoring all 10 of her points as her team extended the lead to 48-26 with 52 seconds left in the third.
A Crestview free throw by Allison Drummer made it 48-27 after three.
Crestview (9-10, 1-5) opened the fourth quarter with a 9-0 run that ended with a pair of free throws by Ware.
The Bulldogs cut the Dolphin lead to 50-43 with 16 seconds left in the game, but that would be the end of the rally. Fittingly, Ware hit a pair of free throws to close out the win for Mosley.

so i guess OP is TESO's MMOMaverick?
All I know is that I cannot WAIT to see everyone that has been protecting the idea of RvR in this game realize that the server setup is going to prevent the...rivalries...they think its going to bring back.
You are going to face people/guilds one day and may not see them again for a long time because of the way they are setting the servers up further making this faction based play choice even more pointless well beyond the fact it makes the game NOT TES with its limitations on faction/race/non-opened world.
And no...TESO is not a Themepark and a Sandbox, its themepark. lvled content, closed factions, race restrictions, non-opened world, vast storyline to quest through...and its faction zones are closed to only that faction. The only thing announced that could be confused with sandbox is the somewhat open class system.

Will there be flip-floppers? Of course, however, I'd wager many PVP oriented guilds will not be doing that sort of thing.

I agree. It seems people are protection only one idea and swear anything else would ruin their gaming experience. I don't like it when content is missing, not stuff I don't do. They should give us as many options to play their game as possible; have a traditional RvR rule-set, then have an explorer mode, wPvP, Open Factions, etc. Even DAoC used different server rule-sets - do the same thing but make characters persistent.
Originally posted by jtcgs
It goes deeper than this. If they give buyers a private game then they could add features like housing, material gathering, land/shop ownership (replacing AH), and many other things. Subscribers can have up to 2000 people on their instance while b2p could only invite 4-5 for dungeons and small runs ~ but unless you're showing off your house it would probably be better to join an official instance.
I'm trying to make sense but I feel like I'm rambling.

What about and explorer version of Cyrodiil? PvP isn't allowed, all the NPCs are unresponsive, you can scout around and talk with other players from any faction doing the same.
We want players to get to know each other and create relations right?
Originally posted by Distopia
Yeah, I've been bashing ESO pretty hard. I feel kind of bad about it... but that doesn't change that I don't fully agree with their narrow approach. It seems only directed for RvR. If the mega server could create instances with different rule-sets then they could allow me, and others, to play the game in a way we would enjoy.
Whats the harm in letting me change my character's appearence to another race (even though the storyline would be as if I'm an orc). It could be a toggle for you, you would see my original race but everyone else who doesn't mind open factions would see my altered race. It's just visual.
Why not have the mega server open up wPvP instances. Would be cool to quest with enemy players roaming about. A 'invador' que could bring enemy players to the instance and spawn them at secret camps. AT ANY TIME, if you get tired of the rule-set then you could switch to a PvE server, with the same character in the same space.

I wonder how a perma-death server would do?
Originally posted by FromHell
That is the cool part. You can have a persistant character that can switch between the MMO and a private version of the MMO (in which you could own housing and invite guests). Houses and other perks could be tied into your official progress in the MMO.
Everyone gets what they want; The MMO players get an official MMO with a team dedicated to it's updates, and the TES w/multiplayer get a private RPG in which they could invite other players. If another team of developers creates modifiers to add popular suggestions then they could give us the choice to play how we want to play.

What does private servers and rule-sets have to do with sandbox? A sandbox is a completely open world where the player creates the story and content...
A themepark is a themepark even if its on your own private server. Anyway, there are way too many "ifs" in your post...it would be like me saying the game IS great, IF they make it more like TES. Ifs mean nothing, all that matters is what they have said is going to be in the game, so far...no sandbox, little TES other than names and monsther skins.

I think bioware tried something similar.
Originally posted by jtcgs
Well... it would be more like a single player sandbox in which you could invite friends. Switch over to your personal instance and go to your house (instead of a bank) to switch/store inventory. You could have a mat garden (like in the Archmage's room from Skyrim), own a mine to stockpile materials or even a castle with rooms you could give to your friends. It would be a more of a private sandbox than public one.
Also we have to look at how we describe sandbox. Having a world in which we could go anywhere would be sandboxy. Meet up with fellow travelers who want to explore as well. Go into their private sandboxes and check out their modifiers.
Originally posted by jtcgs
The official game will be a themepark but they could start off with a private instance and then expand on that.
I agree, there is WAY too many 'ifs' in my posts. I'm not even sure where I'm going with this... I just want them to have choices rather than strickly focusing on RvR. If enough players want to explore, wpvp or open factions then why not give it to them?
Originally posted by sapphen
I know where you are going...or should I stay where you are trying to STAY with this...you are what I was right before they started to actually release information about this game.
In the land of TES fans.
You are trying to cling to the chance the company will actually make the game like a TES game. Forget it, the people heading the design are from DaoC and have yet to prove they evolved at all which is why we have heard what we heard about the game so far. They are still in the box, to get what you...and I...were wasking for would require outside the box thinking.
And you dont get people setting up forced faction choices, closed faction playing areas and PvP that is boxed in by someone thinking outside the box. In fact, they segment the game into smaller boxes because their limited programming skills require everything controlled via segregated playing. Worse yet, the man that brought DaoC the server options is not even with this company.

I dunno, I feel this has a strong chance to be in game. People have to show interest in the idea of developer made mods, private servers and other rule-sets. If enough people request something like this then it would have a chance to be added.
I'm not sure how to get current ESO fans to think outside of the Zenibox. There's been so many forum battles between us that both sides are kind of locked in place. Most people are just sliently waiting but others are defending ESO with everything they have.
I agree forced faction choices does seem illogical from our standpoint. I could see it being important to other people. I figured it could be a toggle. You would create a character and afterwards you can choose to change his appearence. If you select a race outside your faction, the computer and toggled off players would see you as your original race choice.
We need options and a larger touch of TES. If developers could make mods and then offer players a private sandbox version of ESO, they could add housing, farms, mines, cities and castles. Encourage players to invite other people to visit their private instance. This could help build communities and support subscription models.
Is RvR too narrow of a focus for ESO ~ Why can't they just let us to play how we want to play it?

Thats how games should be - always.
Would you ask for any artist like a painter for instance, to do his art as you want it? No... art comes from inspiration, the artist's inspiration - if you like it, you buy it, if you don't like it, you dont buy it. Same as movies, books, music, etc...
Game companies should stop trying to please "gamers" - if the game is good it will be a success, if its not, it wont - the quantity of people you try to pull to your game, doesnt assure the success of the game - just assures that the initial project lost its identity.
The day you make a video game, its your game, and you can play it how you want to play it - this one however is a Zenimax and Bethesda game and they should do what they want to do - the rest time will tell.
This sense of entitlement crap in video games is getting ridiculous.

Games are designed around a target audience. The TES fans and the MMO players, why can't they make different rule-sets for each?
Sense of entitlement crap is just that, crap.

text: Gaelic Gold is a vibrant, medium-dark gold with yellow undertones and a shimmer-sheen finish. This has a veluxe pearl finish, and it is a repromote. It also had good color payoff and a smooth feel. Le Metier de Beaute Chameleon is not as yellow and a bit darker. Inglot #404 is very similar but perhaps a touch darker.


text: NYX Chic Red Round Lipstick ($4.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a vibrant pink-red with strong blue undertones. It's more vibrant compared to Guerlain Liu and just a touch more compared to MAC Prolong. It's a very cool-toned lipstick, which means it really makes teeth look white, and it will naturally flatter cooler complexions better. I find that the intensity of reds (along with plums, berries, etc.) make them appropriate on warmer complexions, too, because of how rich and deep in color they are. It's opaque in color and a little goes a long way!

Anthony Pettis says move to featherweight ?not permanent,? expects ?fireworks? against Jose Aldo - MMAmania.com
"A lot of things led to my cutting down to 145," said Pettis in a recent interview with New York Post. "I was tired of waiting for a 155-pound title shot."
After getting passed over for former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez, Pettis was matched up against former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) comrade Donald Cerrone. Anthony was able to walk right through "Cowboy," stopping him in the very first round thanks to a vicious kick to the body at UFC on FOX 6.
Soon thereafter, Pettis took a chance and asked for a title shot against Aldo via text message due to the fact that "El Nino" had already received the nod at the lightweight title against current champion Ben Henderson.
To the surprise of many, "Showtime" got his wish and was booked to swing leather against "Scarface" at UFC 163, which goes down in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Aug. 3, 2013. But, the 155-pound weight class will still have to deal with Pettis down the road because the move down to featherweight is not forever.
"It's not a permanent weight cut (to featherweight)," said Pettis. "But a striker like myself and Aldo, it doesn't really matter what weight class it happens at. It's going to be fireworks either way."

I watched Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows Part One. I really liked it.
This message board is only an archive. Click here to go to the current message board.
I watched Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows Part One. I really liked it.
Watched Battle LA.....thought it was a pretty good shoot em up.
Finally I watched Let Me In. Yeah, I liked the movie. I really enjoyed it.
Also together with my friends I watched Due Date. It was fun to watch it, but still can't say that it will ever become my favorite. I simply prefer other kinds of movies.
I watched Con Air yesterday, it was on tv again...
I watched this Australian flick called Kenny. It wasn't very ambitious, but it was good. Basically it's about this guy Kenny that works with portable toilets for concerts and festivals, etc. It would've been crappier (pun intended) if Kenny wasn't such a likable guy.
Last night I watched a movie called Identity starring John Cusack and Ray Liotta. I'd never seen it before, but I'd heard about it back high school. I thought it was really good.
I watched the Happening
Regrettably, the last movie I saw was The Human Centipede. Not the best film ever.
Sick isn't it juan.
