In an interview with Aid to the Church in Need, Bob Fu, a student leader at Tiananmen Square who subsequently became a Protestant pastor and fled China, discusses the realities of police repression and forced abortion in the People's Republic of China. Fu is the founder and president of the China Aid Association. "When you want to have your first child after marriage," he recalls, "you are required to get a pregnancy permission card-- a yellow card before your wife can legally get pregnant-- otherwise you are arrested and are forced to have an abortion.

Purgatory Still Exists, Says Pope: Chiesa
ROME, January 17, 2011 – In illustrating the life of Saint Catherine of Genoa, at the general audience last Wednesday, Benedict XVI took the thought of this saint as a point of departure to explain what purgatory is.
During the second half of the 15th century, the time of Catherine, the contemporary image of purgatory was like the one depicted above. It was the mountain of purification sung of by Dante in the "Divine Comedy."
That purgatory is a physical place is a very ancient conviction, which endured until recent times.

Athens goes on security alert for trial of suspected militants
Reporting from Athens —
Law enforcement snipers will watch from rooftops. Motorists will be checked at roadblocks across Athens. And at the courthouse, inside a maximum security prison on the eastern outskirts of the Greek capital, hundreds of plainclothes officers will patrol surrounding streets to shield against militant attacks.
Riot police armed with percussion grenades and tear gas will also be on alert as part of the security measures planned for the trial scheduled to begin Monday of 13 suspected members of the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire, a militant anti-authority movement known as SPF.
"We are prepared for everything," said Athanassios Kokkalakis, spokesman for Greece's National Police.
The accused — 12 men and a teenage girl — are charged with terrorism counts related to a series of attacks on Greek politicians, which caused no fatalities or serious injuries. Under a new terrorism law, the defendants will be tried by a three-member panel of judges instead of a jury to avoid intimidation. Nine of the defendants, who are in custody awaiting trial, face up to life in prison if the court determines that their alleged activities could have resulted in the deaths of their targets. The remaining suspects, who remain at large, will be tried in absentia, officials said.
Hindus, Jews Ask Pope to Abandon Double Standards on Roma Apartheid
Hindus and Jews claim that Pope Benedict holds double standards on the issues of Roma (Gypsy) apartheid in Europe.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed; and Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, prominent Jewish leader in Nevada and California in USA; in a statement in Nevada today, said that despite their repeated requests, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI had not come out openly to support the 15-million European Roma who faced apartheid conditions. But in a message for "19th World Day of the Sick, 2011", posted on Holy See's website on January 15, Pope says (as per Zenit.org translation): "...know how to recognize and serve him also in those brothers who are poor, sick, suffering and in difficulty, who have need of your help".

Blog Latest Post RSS * Recent * Featured * American Papist Church Law says Permanent Deacons, all clerics, are obliged to abstain from sex, notes Canonist Edward Peters
[vote america] I have been struggling to decide the appropriate way to help bring this issue before the Church’s attention.
This little point, illustrated my father Canon Layer Ed Peters, has huge potentially consequences for many thousands of men already serving as permanent deacons in the United States (and around the world), and it also promises to impact the growing number of married Anglican and other protestant clergy coming into the Church through the ordinariate established by Pope Benedict and similar, previous provisions.
Simply put: the law of the Church says that permanent deacons, because they are clerics, are obliged to observe “perfect and perpetual continence.” In simple terms, permanent deacons are obligated by law to refrain from sexual relations with their wife once they are ordained.

Ukrainians to build an Orthodox church in Antarctica
"When we send polar explorers to the South Pole we don't ask about their confession. But every person can have a wish to stay alone, to pray. Why don't we build a church?" Director of the National Antarctic Scientific Center Valery Litvinov was quoted as saying on Friday by the Ukrainian Segodnya.ua website.
It is not the first Orthodox church on the ice continent: Russian carpenters built a 15-meter Orthodox church from Siberian cedar in 2004 that is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
"When you pray there you get unspeakable impressions. It is zero altitude, but you have such a feeling that the church almost fly above Earth," Archbishop Augustine of Lvov and Galicia and said as he had celebrated a Liturgy in the church in 2007 and is going to consecrate the Ukrainian chapel in spring.
The chapel is made in Chili and is much smaller than the Russian church. It will be sent to Antarctica late in March with a new group of polar explorers. Works on building and installing the chapel will be paid by philanthropists. Byelorussians intend to erect the similar chapel on the continent as they plan to open their base in Antarctica this year.
Besides, Ukrainians will present Russian church of the Holy Trinity a bell cast by the Donetsk metallurgical plant. According to the polar expedition head, Chili customs officers were perplexed to find the bell in their luggage. Besides, they found salo (traditional Ukrainian lard - IF) in their luggage while bringing food in the country is subjected to $300 fine. Customs officers appeared to be believers and turned a blind eye to salo and the bell.

Rector of St. Paul Seminary Retiring From Post
Fr. Baer’s Farewell
On May 12, 2010 friends and benefactors of Saint John Vianney College Seminary gathered to bid farewell to Fr. William Baer. After eleven years as Rector of Saint John Vianney, Fr. Baer has returned to parish life at Transfiguration in Oakdale, MN.
Fr. Baer leaves quite a legacy at Saint John Vianney. In his years as Rector, Fr. Baer instituted the Seminarians’ pledge and prayer – “Men in Christ. Men of the Church. Men for Others”. A total of 475 seminarians took the pledge and studied at Saint John Vianney under his guidance. Enrollment more than doubled
during his tenure as Rector.
Fr. Baer will also be remembered for starting the “Last Chance Mass” at the University of St. Thomas, a Sunday evening tradition, where over 300 students and neighbors attend Mass in the Saint John Vianney Chapel.
Fr. Baer’s final gift to the seminary is a lasting one – a scholarship fund which was created in his honor to provide financial assistance to transfer students who join the seminary. Transfer students make up a third of each class of New Men, and traditional scholarship assistance for transfer students is very limited. An envelope is enclosed if you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, or make an unrestricted gift to the seminary.
You can read the entire Vianney News newsletter, with photos of Father Becker, Fr. Baer and the seminarians, HERE.

Gun control: Church firmly, quietly opposes firearms for civilians
Editor: once again, the USCCB is showing its color, RED. Interesting in light of neo-Con George Weigel's admission of a few days ago that Communists had indeed infiltrated the Church.
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Catholic Church's position on gun control is not easy to find; there are dozens of speeches and talks and a few documents that call for much tighter regulation of the global arms trade, but what about private gun ownership?
The answer is resoundingly clear: Firearms in the hands of civilians should be strictly limited and eventually completely eliminated.
But you won't find that statement in a headline or a document subheading. It's almost hidden in a footnote in a document on crime by the U.S. bishops' conference and it's mentioned in passing in dozens of official Vatican texts on the global arms trade.

Six Stabbed in brawl between students from West Catholic and Boys' Latin
By JULIE SHAW, BARBARA LAKER & REGINA MEDINA
FISTS AND feet flew outside a West Philadelphia Market-Frankford El station yesterday morning as two groups of high-school students battled each other, with at least one student bringing out a knife or other sharp object, as blood spilled on the sidewalk.
Five students from Boys' Latin of Philadelphia Charter School were stabbed or slashed, as was one from West Philadelphia Catholic High, during the melee about 7:30 a.m. on Farragut Street near Market, just outside the busy 46th Street Station.
At a school assembly yesterday, David Hardy, CEO of Boys' Latin, on Cedar Avenue near 55th in West Philadelphia, implored students not to retaliate. Four of the five kids stabbed had been accepted into college already.

The end of a great era': Bishop Ward dies at 90
The term "churchman," as noted by Msgr. Francis Weber, is one used sparingly.
"It's a title that has to be earned," the archdiocesan archivist wrote in his Encyclopedia of California's Catholic Heritage. "It cannot be conferred. It signifies a person who towers above his contemporaries, one who personifies the ideals of the Christian commitment.

Sex abuse lawyer to sue Diocese of Clogher
THE DIOCESE of Clogher is to be sued in the US by clerical sex abuse specialist, lawyer Jeff Anderson, in connection with allegations of child sexual abuse in the early 1980s by a former Clogher priest.
Announcing the formation of a new London-based law firm, set up in partnership with solicitor Ann Olivarus, Mr Anderson said yesterday that the firm’s first joint case would be taken in Minnesota against a retired priest from the Diocese of Clogher.
The priest, now in his 80s, is alleged to have been a serial abuser who molested children in Ireland in the 1960s and 1970s and then in the US from the 1980s. In the case in question, taken in the US because the “John Doe plaintiff” is an American citizen, Mr Anderson is likely to argue the Diocese of Clogher is guilty of fraud because it sent the priest to a US diocese, despite knowing of his extensive history of child molestation in Ireland.

A Protestant Will Become President of the Papal Academy of Sciences
The main purpose of the academy consists in listening to the Pope's speech every year and nodding in a friendly way. That apparently means it could be a protestant or an abortion promoter.
(kreuz.net, Vatikan)Pope Benedict XVI has made the elderly Swiss Nobel Prize winnder Werner Areber (81) the president of the Papal Academy of Science, according to the Academy today.
The decadent Swiss Bishops Conference published the press release with congratulations.
But he's a protestant.
A Specialist in Enzymes
The new presidents of the Academy comes from the Community of Graenichen in the Swiss Canton Aarau.
In the year of 1965 he was appointed as a Professor at the University of Genf.
Since 1971 he's worked at the Biology Department of the University of Basel as a microbiologist and geneticist with bacteria.
In 1978 he was awarded the Nobel Prize with two colleagues for the discovery of so-called restrictions enzyme.
The Old Liberal Bishops Celebrate
The Swiss Bishops Conference celebrated the "honorable appointment" -- especially because of its alleged "ecumenical significance".
The Church functionaries maintain that the "selection of those who are academically active scientists expressly on the basis of their scientific and ethical service, independent of Nation or Religious beliefs."
The Papal Academy of Science was founded 400 years ago by Pope Clemens VIII (1605).
They assemble eighty academics, who've been named by the Pope and are from among the most famous scientists of the entire world.
Initially, recently the Pope named the Brazilian abortion and homosexual ideologue, Miguel Nicolelis (49), as a member.

Unrepentant Thug Condemned -- Vienna Pro-Lifers Win Legal Battle
A milestone in the case law: For a year now law breakers in Vienna -- unapprehended by the police - - continued their dark work.
[kreuz.net Vienna] On Monday a Viennese district court condemned the thug Andreas T., who worked for the Viennese child murderer Christian Fiala. The criminals were found guilty of three crimes.
This was according to video site 'gloria.tv'.
For years Andreas T. had been paid by child butcher Fiala for that, to terrorize praying sidewalk counselors.
The comrades of the undercutting Vienese authorities who have stood till now always on the side of the psychoterrorists.
Actually now the judge had no choiceL: the attacks of Andreas T. were filmed with a hidden camera.
The Abortion Employees Were Violent
On Monday four offenses were handled. In reality Andreas T. had been responsible for countless offenses in the last years.
Thus he cut the rosaries of two praying sidewalk counselors. One of the attacks were filmed.
On the next day Andreas T. kicked against the back of a life defender's leg.
Two of those kicks were filmed with a camera.
The stricken life defender made a complaint about the injury he received on his back leg. A Doctor documented a bruise.
A fourth crime was reported as a theft: on the 15th of June 2009, Andreas T robbed the victim of his wallet, which he took from the life defender's jacket pocket, for a hidden camera.
He Lied to the Court
Despite the filmed data Andreas T attempted to deny the charges -- to the anger of the judge.
So he argued to the end that he hadn't stolen the gold purse.
His lie: the visible brown square wallet he said was a folded flier.
The judge did allow himself to be held as stupid: a theft of a wallet also goes to self-enrichment -- he explained to the contrary.
The website 'gloria.tv' shows excerpts immediately preceding the theft: they show how he takes a wallet from the life defender's jacket -- and not some flier.
On the video there are concidentally also excerpts, where Andreas T. steals yellow fliers from the jacket pocket -- a crime, that was not handled on Monday morning.
On the face of it the evidence must have finally implicated the terrorist in a kick.
Previous he had still stolidly insisted not to have trod on the leg of his victim, rather on an "object" before the leg.
The pained expression of his victim, explained the judge cynically, must have been from the "wind" hitting him.
The judge had to explain to the liar that a confession could serve as a mitigating factor.
Thereupon Andreas T. withdrew to consult with his lawyer.
Finally he insisted begrudgingly: "The video said that I had stepped on him, therefore I had probably stepped on him."
His defender encouraged him to more clearly state his confession. First he could then convince himself to tell the truth: "I did step on him from behind."
This confession forced by facts, begruding confession was greeted by the judge as mitigating. He gave failed, in any case, to give any contrition.
In aggravation he indicated that there were more punishable acts to come.
The judge condemned the thug to 100 daily rate for every 2 Euros plus legal costs.
Further, he was required to pay the life defender damages.

Priceless Gothic High Altar of St. Nicholas in Aachen Destroyed
Now the Party is Over
The good God had recently decided to take a church, which had been recently recycled as a Party-Hall, out of circulation.
[kreuz.net, Aachen, Germany] In the night at the coming new year, a heavy fire in the gothic, medieval church St. Nicholas in Aachen, made its home.
The former cloister church has an apse which is fourteen meters high which is supported by twelve powerful pillars.
The priceless high altar with three paintings from the Rubens school, made for a real attention grabber.
The church pews were removed by the Dicoese of Aachen in 2002.
The space has been being used since by the Evangelical Communion and the Catholic Church and also for a so-called "City Pastoral".
The new years fire destroyed the 17th Century high altar completely.
The three altar paintings were a total loss.
The gothic high altar and the old lead glass winders were severely damaged.
The spreading of the fire to the roof was prevented by the fire department.
A destroyed window of the church led the police to suspect that the fire had been caused by a Silvesterrakete.
As recently as 29 October, the Bishop Heinrich Mussinghof of Aachen had celebrated his seventieth birthday.
The smoking feast was organized by a caterer and collected the Old Liberal Nomenklatura of the Diocese from hither and yon.
The Old Liberal Cardinal Lehmann of Mainz held a gala talk.
Also present were the president of the German Bishop's conference and the Old Liberal Archbishop of Freiburg, Msgr Robert Zollitsch.
