Serious Death Threat Against Cardinal Bertone
Editor: the author of the letter is angry about +Bertone's appointments...
Letter writer is clearly well informted about the Roman Curia
Rome (kath.net/KAP) Cardinal Secretary Tarcicio Bertone may have received an anonymous murder threat. In the past days a letter received by the Secretary of State, which began with an advertisement for burial, was reported by the weekly in its most recent edition (Thursday).
The Cardinal Secretary has sent the letter in the meantime to the Vatican Police, which has begun to direct a manhunt.
The threat is, in the report by "Panorama" clothed in a citation from Don Bosco, the founder of the Salesian Order, to which ++Bertone belongs. The sender is clearly very well informed about the goings on in the Roman Curia, writes the newspaper. The author reproaches ++Bertone for his personnel decisions which apparently are the result of personal sympathies.
The letter sender is especially incensed about the promotion of Arcbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the outgoing director of the Governorate of the Vatican State. He alludes especially to the appointment of +Vignano as Apostolic Nuncio to Washington.

Bishop of Linz: Obedience and Faith are Inseparable
Editor :This is one of the worst Diocese in Austria. It was the one where the conservative Father Wagner was heckled and harassed by Liberals not to receive his Mitre.
Ludwig Schwarz in the Linz Church Times: We also have to think on that old saying of the Church: 'Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia' -- if there are those who expect to be priests, they should expect to be obedient.
Linz (kath.net/KAP) The Linz Diocesan Bishop Ludwig Schwarz has underlined for the "Call to Disobedience" of the Pastors' Initiative that there is a connection between Faith and obedience.
"If we look at Holy Scripture, we see from Abraham to the Mother of God, how inseparably Faith is bound to to obedience.
In addition it is also valid that the unbelief is founded in disobedience, as also is always announced," wrote the Bishop in a commentary on the current edition of the "Linz Church Times". Horizontal conflicts in the Church are "often the beginning of separations and in the consequence of countless estrangements from jealousies and straining after validation", continued Schwarz. "We are also called to think on that old saying of the Church: 'Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia' (Wherever Peter is, there is the Church)", recalled the Bishop of Linz on the function of the Pope's service to unity.
+Schwarz cited additionally from a sermon of Pope Benedict XVI, at World Youth Day in Madrid. At a Mass with a thousand seminarians Benedict XVI said that only those who set forth on the path to the priesthood, when the candidate is secure in his conviction and is prepared to be obedient. "Those may cross on the way to the priesthood, who are convinced that God has called them to be His servant, and that they are going to act with complete conviction and obedience to the wisdom of the Church."

Russia to Introduce Religious Instruction
Current Education Minister: Russia Plans the introduction of Religious Education and ethical instruction in all schools. Religious Instruction was abolished by the Communist government after the October Revolution in 1917.
Moscow (kath.net) Russia is planning the introduction of Religious Education and ethical instruction in all schools. This was broadcast by Maxim Dulinow, present Education Minister, yesterday (31.8.), according to "Domradio Cologne". Which was the result of a previous introductory instruction in a quarter of the regions of the country.
It will offer elective subjects in the "Foundations of Religion" and Ethics. In the test run since the year 2009 there were six electives: Russian-Orthodoxy, Islam, Judaism or Buddhist religious instruction, ethical instruction or a subject about the foundations of World Religions. The students preferred ethical instruction, Orthodox Religious Instruction and the foundations of World Religion. The students were instructed by previously qualified secular teachers.
Religious instruction in the schools was abolished after the 1917 October Revolution by the Communist regime.

One Thing He Won't Jettison is His Faith

| Sardonic but alive |
Gibson and his wife, Robyn settled their divorce in on August 30th. They reunited in August at Malibu where they arrived separately on the eighth for the tenth birthday party for the two Siamese twins from Honduras whom they were able to help and have miraculously survived thanks to the skill of surgeons and God's will. The twins were joined at the head.
Despite his father Hutton Gibson's attempt to separate Gibson's marriage by way of faux annulment in some kind of ad hoc lay tribunal, he is cited from USA Today, where Gibson said the following to People:
"My wife was really far more involved than I was in the past, but we're both still involved."
Still involved? Maybe a slip of the tongue or is it Mel's hard-to-kill Catholic Faith at work on his conscience? Anyway, he's still wearing his Miraculous Medal. And now he's planning on doing an action film with Bruce Willis while he continues to work on his Viking Film. Hopefully that project isn't dead.
He's been promising to do the Battle of Vienna Wood for a number of years. Hopefully, when he's finished satisfying the needs of Hollyweird, perhaps he'll get a tug from that gossamer connection with the Catholic Church he's been nurturing since his media fall and make some Catholic films that drink in deep from the well of Christendom.

Freemasons Blocked From Church
Italy. From the 21th to the 26th of August the "Grand Lodge of Italy" and the "Grand Orient" have organized an event in the 3,000 population city of San Leo near the Adriatic. On the 20th of August the Bishop Luigi Negri of San Marino-Montefeltro, had published a pastoral letter in his Diocese which was read against the Freemasons. At the same time, the Bishop made clear that the Catholic religion is incompatible with Freemasonry. These live for their antagonism to the Church and desire Its destruction. The pastor of the village, Father Andrea Bosio, ordered that during the event that all houses of God in the city will be closed outside of Mass times. He explained to the Italian media that normally it wouldn't be justified during the day. Bishop Negri has supported Father Bosio's precautions.

New USA Nuncio Replaced by Someone Close to Cardinal Burke
Edit: We were all over this in July. Move over libs, there should be some better episcopal appointments and faster responses to Liturgical abuses. Oh yeah.
Link to original...
Editor: his slot in the Governorate of the Vatican will be taken up by someone who's close to Cardinal Burke, Msgr Sciacca, a judge in the Roman Rota. Understanding that this is an earlier release and that some of the other blogs were reticent about Nuncio Sambi's replacement, Katholisches sounded certain about it.
[Washington from July 13] Curial Bishop Carlo Maria Viganò the Secretary of the Governorate Council of Vatican City, will be the new Apostolic Nuncio of the United States of America. The present ambassador to Washington, Archbishop Pietro Sambi will be recalled back to Rome and undertake a new leading role in the Roman Curia.
The Curial Bishop has been leading a restrictive organizational reform for various areas of the Curia over the past two years. That has not made him many friends. In the long run it involved friction with the Secretary of State, so the current personnel changes are intended to bring peace again for all sides. The role of the Papal Ambassador in Washington is as much a step up in rank and is also an important as well as sensitive position.
The successor as number two of the Governatorial Advisor will be canon lawyer, Msgr Giuseppe Sciacca, who is at present judge of the Roman Rota. Of him it is said that he also has earned the trust and praise of both the Holy Father and the Cardinal Secretary [+Burke].
Archbishop Viganò would be the third Apostolic Nuncio in the United States of America and only the fifth representative from the Holy See. It was first under President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II that in 1984 full diplomatic relations were established between the Holy See and the United States. In the same year the USA sent William Wilson as its first ambassador to the Holy See in Rome. Since 2009, Miguel Diaz who was appointed by President Obama has occupied this post.
In the USA there is a longstanding opposition against diplomatic relations. At first in 1893 the first contact at this level was established. The representatives of the Holy See had however only the rank of apostolic delegates.

Liberal Press Continues to Delight in Austrian Dissidents' Rebellion
Edit: Ho-hum. Most Austrians don't care about this sort of thing. A lot of times, ecclesiastical Liberals lament that people aren't drawn to the Catholic Church because of the conventions and dogmas it's been enslaved to. However, in the half-century or so since Liberals have been at the helm, and had every opportunity to put a different face on religion, some say even alter it so it's unrecognizeable as religion, there has been a catastrophic drain of people and resources from the pews every Sunday and an almost wholesale abandonment of the Church in the West.
It's hard to see how a very small tribe of ecclesiastical Liberals with the same ideas that emptied the Church in the first place, are going to take many people with them into their desacralized world without revelation, without beauty and devoid of love.
People, and that includes Austrians, are a lot smarter than that. Most Austrians could care less, despite the media atention it's gotten and the various Austrian Bishops who've spoken in favor of it -- much to their disgrace -- of this Call to Disobedience.
Here's the Tablet, getting things wrong as it usually does:

Austrian abbots say Schönborn cannot stop schism
1 September 2011
The highly influential Austrian abbots said this week that talk of schism in the Austrian Church could not be damped down, nor the current conflict resolved, by a meeting between the Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schonbörn and representatives of dissident priests. The Church has been in turmoil since the more than 300 priests of the Austrian Priests' Initiative called for disobedience on matters such as priestly celibacy and communion for remarried divorcees. Abbot Martin Felhofer of Schlägl Abbey said: "This can no longer be solved by the cardinal alone. Everyone - bishops, abbots, Religious and representatives of the Austrian Priests' Initiative - must sit down and the discuss the problems together."

Wordly Nobel Laureate Praises the Church and the Pope
Now there are Pope Books Which Don't Make one Yawn.
The Church must not effect an internal democracy, in order to qualify as an integral part of a so-called Democracy.
(kreuz.net) The socially liberal Peruvian Nobel Laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa (75) has humanly and morally gone to the dogs.
He lives in concubinage, is Godless, defends the violence of abortion and the murderous abortifacient pill.
He knows about as much about legislating as the whale knows about ice skating.
However, there has been a brief flash of light in the darkness of his soul.
This is according to the Church-hate journalist Paul Ingendaay (50) yesterday in the 'Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung'.
Tight lipped and grumpy
Vargas Llosa had "enjoyed" the Madrid Pope Visit.
He found that so many happy, charming people singing and dancing to celebrate the Pope was beautiful.
The writer commented on the Pope's visit in his regular editorial for the Spanish Church-hate Newspaper, 'El Pais'.
He is to have "this effect on "the tight-lipped, grumpy Spanish clergy" -- said the poisonous Ingendaay with an unqualified hatred which did an injustice to Vargas Llosa.
One should rework Ingendaay's formulation on the tongue:
"He surely didn't have much effect on the tight-lipped, grumpy Spanish Rabbis." How does that sound coming from the mouth of a German?
That's what the Church is there for -- at least for Vargaas Llosa
Vargas Llosa described how hate-demonstrators and woman haters in Madrid threw condoms at some girls praying in public.
The Church has a moral panoply, said Vargas Llosa, which is even for those, who do not follow Her teachings.
She offers an ethical measuring stick in times where lust, shameless egoism and corruption dominates the public sphere.
That is exactly why the Church is there.
Science and Culture have Failed
The Catholic Church must not effect an inner Democracy, in order to qualify as an integral part of the --- so-called --- democracy, wrote the writer.
A democratic Church is in any event only "a dream".
The Church as an authoritarian, not uncongenial institution, strengthens the commonwealth whose worldly epistemic effects like Science or Culture are proven to be worthless without it.
So long as the Church grasps at no political power and the political power does not constrain the Church while maintaining its neutrality, religion is not only allowable in a Democratic society, but it's indispensable.
The Pope has convinced him to have been, "possibly the most educated and intelligent Pope, which the Church has had in a very long time."
Vargas Llosa has read a few of the Pope's books, without yawning.

American Catholic Unviersities Theologically Unsustainable
Edit: they're good errand boys and girls for "hope and change", but when it comes to presenting the Church's actual teaching, well, you just have to laugh at it, that's all.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CATHOLIC HIGHER EDUCATION:
A TOOLKIT FOR MISSION INTEGRATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 29, 2011)—As Catholic colleges and universities
across the country begin a new school year, eight national Catholic organizations
are publishing and promoting an exciting new resource, Sustainability and
Catholic Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration. This new
resource will help schools strengthen ongoing commitments to live out Catholic
mission and “cultivate and care for” (Genesis 2:15) God’s good gift of Creation
through mission-based sustainability.
The Toolkit is being co-sponsored by the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change
(www.catholicclimatecovenant.org), the Association of Catholic Colleges and
Universities(www.accunet.org), the Association of Jesuit Colleges and
Universities (www.ajcunet.edu), the Association of Franciscan Colleges and
Universities (www.franciscancollegesuniversities.org), the Lasallian Association
of College and University Presidents (www.ialu.net), Catholic Relief Services
College (www.crscollege.org), the Catholic Campus Ministry Association
(www.ccmanet.org) and the National Catholic Student Coalition
(www.catholicstudent.org).
These organizations hope that Catholic colleges and universities will use the Toolkit to strengthen Catholic mission and publicly commit themselves to
mission-based sustainability by becoming a Catholic Climate Covenant Partner

Will the Diocese of Aachen be Driven to Use Force?
Many faithful have gathered themselves around these two Carmelites in Zweifall. They won't leave the field without a battle.
(kreuz.net) The sword of Damocles of forced expulsion hangs over the head of the two Carmelites of Zweifall.
This was reported in the German boulevard magazine 'Bild' on Monday.
Since their case has become known, Sister Regina(60) and Sister Katharina (40), have received a great sympathetic demonstration.
The Cloister which the two industrious Alsace Nunus occupy about 4.000 cubic meters has been abolished since six years ago by official Diocesan mandate.
The Diocese of Aachen would like to close the Carmel and sell it.
Actually, the Nuns don't need anyone's help. They earn their keep with their host bakery.
By a petition of the Diocese, the Aachen court has assembled an emergency board for the non-Profit association of the Carmel.
The goal: It should dissolve the association. Then the Cloister and the Land will fall to the Diocese.
The two Nuns will defend themselves with tooth and nail:
"I won't go freely", explained Sister Regina to 'Bild': "The Cops are going to have to drag me out of here."
And: "the men in the village stand behind us, will even fight with us, if it's going to get tough."
It's clear to Sister: "If we have to leave the Cloister, it will be as if Jesus had been put a second time on the Cross."
A speaker of the Diocese of Aachen is confident in the members of the Emergency Board. It has dealt with two other Carmlites from two other Cloisters:
"Both nuns in the Emergency Board will decide now, how it will proceed -- and what will be the fate of the two Nuns in Zweifall."

Elderly Vienna Radicals' Call to Disobedience Met With Indifference in Cyberpace
Editor: Despite what the constant media barrage in favor of the Church hostile formulations of a decrepit band of spiritual non-entities, internet traffic reveals a different story. Hardly anyone goes to their official website, while the conservative counterparts receive much more attention from "the people".
Austria. The website of the 'Pastors' Initiative' of the Viennese priest Helmut Schüller gets hardly any traffic. That was noticed by the "Little Private Blog" 'Predigtgarten.blogspot.com'. Since 8 December 2006, the site of the liberal and disobedient 'pfarrer-intiative.at' -- despite unreserved support of the media bosses -- has only received something short of 75,000 visitors. On the other hand the 'Predigtgarten' has received five hundred thousand hits in a much shorter time. The Preaching Gardener continues: "Are so many for, without really knowing the content of the Schüllerian demands?"

Murder or Dogma, Lord Archbishop Woelki?
Edit: Berlin's new Bishop has some difficulties with Humanae Vitae.
Whoever is unclear about the effect of the anti-baby-pill, can be informed by 'Bayer Leverkusen'. by Markus Miller
(kreuz.net) The birth control and abortion industry have succeeded in their work.
Their ideology is hammered so deeply into the heads of people, that even its babblings can be heard from people who should know better.
At the request of the propaganda sheets of the abortion lobby, the Berlin news 'taz', Archbishop Rainer Maria Woelki said briefly:
"The prohibition against the pill is not a Dogma."
The False Prophet Father Karl Rahner
Msgr. Woelki has already publicly cited the left-Liberal Theologian, Karl Rahner († 1984).
This one was interviewed on September 1968 by the politically left, kiosk magazine 'Der Spiegel".
At that point Father Rahner also said that the prohibition against the pill through the encyclical 'Humanae Vitae' of Paul VI. († 1978) was only provisional and reformable.
With his dampening formulation allows Msgr Woelki to give the impression, as if the subject of the pill is still awaiting the last word to be spoken, and that the prohibition need not be taken seriously.
What must the youth make of this right now?
Implantation Will be Prevented
Let's turn from theological classifications and go to the website of the firm "Bayer" from its HQ in Rhenish Leverkusen.
This company is one of the largest participants in the money grubbing contraception and abortion industry worldwide.
It boasts the slam dunk effectiveness of its contraceptive pills:
"They generate alterations in the endometrial hyperplasia. So even in the unlikely event that an egg is fertilized and released, its implantation is prevented."
From Ten to Twenty Percent
As Archbishop Woelki knows, life begins at conception.
Children aren't just killed by the "morning after" and abortion pill.
Even the well-known anti-baby-pill kills a defenseless child if the contraceptive effect of the pill fails.
In the "improbable event" that the pill fails in preventing the release of the egg, but whose implantation is not subsequently prevented, occurs according to the estimates of experts in ten to twenty percent of the monthly cycles.
Taking a contraceptive pill over a time period of a year can result then in an average of about one to two abortions in the early stages of pregnancy.

PHILADELPHIA, PA: Judge Tosses out Anglo-Catholic Priest and Two Vestry in Parish Shake-Up
Edit: you may control the real-estate, but will you have very many people in the pews with all the abortion, birth-control and homosexuality going on in the ECUSA?
[Virtue Online] After more than a decade of ecclesiastical infighting and lawsuits, a Montgomery County Court Judge delivered the final blow to the Anglo-Catholic rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, on Monday by saying Fr. David L. Moyer must leave the parish. He also ordered two men to step down from the Vestry.
It is the end of a long and bitter battle waged between the Diocese of Pennsylvania, its Bishop Charles E. Bennison, the Standing Committee and Fr. David L. Moyer (AKA Bishop Moyer of the Traditional Anglican Communion). The latter fought the bishop charging him with heresy and his failure to uphold a flying bishop arrangement for Anglo-Catholics made under his predecessor Bishop Alan Bartlett.
Moyer has instigated and been dogged by multiple lawsuits for nearly a decade.

New Chinese Official Promises Increased Persecutions of Catholics in Hebei

(The portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong hangs behind red flags, raised during the sitting of parliament, and the Chinese national flag (R) in Beijing's Tiananmen Square March 3, 2008/David Gray)
The hardline Chinese official removed last week as Communist Party chief of restive Tibet has been made head of the province in the centre of contention over China’s Catholics, giving him an influential role in another sensitive religious issue. Zhang Qingli, who gained a reputation as an unyielding Communist Party secretary of heavily Buddhist Tibet, has been appointed party secretary of Hebei, the province surrounding Beijing, the Xinhua news agency reported late on Sunday.
Hebei, with a population of 70 million, is home to roughly a quarter of China’s 8-12 million Roman Catholics.
Zhang, 60, was known for his tough stance against Tibet’s exiled Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama, a man reviled by China as a separatist. The Nobel Peace Prize-winning monk denies advocating either violence or Tibetan independence. Zhang was in charge of Tibet in 2008 when protests in the regional capital Lhasa gave way to deadly riots that rippled across other ethnic Tibetan areas. After the protests, he rained insults on the Dalai Lama, calling him a “jackal in Buddhist monk’s robes.”

Jesuit Paper Supports the Church's Teaching on the Indissolubility of Marriage
Edit: The sad thing is that when the Jesuits actually defend the Church's teaching rather than undermine it, it is news. Not sure why these theologians complaining about credibility even have a job. Who are these alleged theologians who are undermining the credibility of the Church and the Jesuit Order?
In a move some theologians say undermines the credibility of the leading English-language Catholic theological journal, the Vatican has pressured it to publish a scholarly essay on marriage, unedited and without undergoing normal peer review.
The essay, which appeared in the June 2011 issue of the quarterly Theological Studies, published in Milwaukee under the auspices of the Jesuits, upholds the indissolubility of marriage. It was a reply to a September 2004 article in which two theologians argued for a change in church teachings on divorce and remarriage.
The Vatican has been pressuring the editors at Theological Studies since not long after the publication of the 2004 essay, according to theologians not connected to the journal or to the Jesuit order. The Vatican aim is to weed out dissenting voices and force the journal to stick more closely to official church teachings.

VIENNA - A drive for reform by Austrian priests, urging the ordination of women and an end to celibacy, is meeting with widespread support, according to a new survey published Monday.
A total 71.7 per cent of Austrians found the initiative "fair and adequate," with 64.7 per cent saying they would even sign a "call for insurbodination" launched in June, according to the Oekonsult polling institute.
The so-called "Priests' Initiative," signed by at least 200 clergymen, wants women and married individuals to be allowed to be ordained as priests, an end to the celibacy rule and the right for laymen to preach.
