10 Ways to Revitalize the Catholic Church # 2 of 2 By: Fr. I. Michael Bellafiore, S. J. # Catholic parishes need to take these measures to better carry out this mission: 5. More clergy and religious need to regard the church's teaching on sexuality and family as good news. It is part of the Gospel, and not something to be ashamed of. Granted, it must be done with tact and understanding. But it must be done, with confidence that is part of the saving truth given by Jesus Christ. 6. Pray. A Protestant pastor in Carthagena, Colombia, is organizing 3 A.M. prayer rallies in the streets where violence, poverty and prostitution reign. Catholics here could do the same in neighborhoods where indifference rules. The world just finished a day of prayer and fasting for peace. Friday is still a penitential day even though Catholics are not required to give up meat. The U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference issues weekly intentions for prayer and fasting. These calls can make for powerful spiritual kindling. 7. Catholic social teaching is an essential consequence of the Gospel, which means we must be involved in the public square - as Catholics. With enough prayer, sacrifice, advocacy, common sense, and sheer grace, Wall Street must cease being a casino; and likewise, civic leaders, public unions, and bondholder might be able to find agreement in the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression. 8. Pope Francis rightly warns us of the evil afoot in this world. Religious liberty is being threatened daily in the West, while 200 million Christians worldwide are in mortal danger because of their faith. Catholics must become more aware of the plight of our brothers and sisters abroad. 9. At the same time, we must forgive and pray for our adversaries. Recently, the parishioners of one of the many churches burned in Egypt wrote on the wall of their church that they forgave their enemies and would pray on their behalf to God, who is love. That's Gospel! 10. Remember that being Catholic in America, or anywhere, means we can rejoice and trust Christ's admonishment, "be not afraid." GEORGE H.

10 Ways to Revitalize the Catholic Church* - 1 of 2 By: Fr. I. Michael Bellafiore, S.J. - Excerpts Feast of St. Pius (Padre Pio ) - "Reform is afoot in the Vatican, Pope Francis has tightened the reins on the Vatican bank, worked through a grueling visit to Brazil, named a new secretary of state, and is now busy preparing for the October meeting of cardinals who will advise him on how to breathe new life into the Catholic Church.... "Here in America, Catholic parishes need to take measures to better carry out this mission. 1. Parishioners and clergy must take responsibility for evangelization. The church is not a spiritual McDonald's whose success largely depends on its managers, the clergy. Paraphrasing John Kennedy's call to service, "Ask not what the church can do for you,l but what you can do for the church." Evangelicals and Pentecostals have much to teach Catholics in this regard. Polls showed Catholics stayed away from church because they were ignored, slighted or scandalized. Sometimes they misunderstood church teaching. They need to know that they are missed and that the door is open for them. 2. A priest in France has attracted people to packed Masses largely by spending six hours every night in the confessional. (He also wears priestly garb on the street so that those who want a priest know where to find one.) Clergy here need to recommit themselves to the sacrament of confession. ... for more than a perfunctory half-hour before Saturday evening Mass... priests can awaken in their parishioners the need for repentance and conversion. 3. A pope once said that one good catechist is worth a hundred outstanding preachers. Yet there are wealthy parishes that expect directors of religious education to work as unpaid volunteers! Catechism needs to be taken more seriously as a ministry. ...Parents must be willing to be trained and work as catechists.... 4. Catholic colleges and universities believe unequivocally that it is an honor to be Catholic, and need to be demonstrably evangelical. The people who are often proudest to be part of Catholic education are in fact non-Catholics: Protestants, non-Christians, and even atheists. 5. More clergy and religious need to regard the church's teaching on sexuality and family as good news, not something to be ashamed of.... done with tact and understanding. But it must be done with confidence that is part of the saving truth given by Jesus Christ...." George H.

Almost Total Leftist Indoctrination In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Friday, September 20, 2013 There is almost total leftist (progressive) indoctrination in our universities and we allow it. Here are excerpts from Thomas Sowell's book, "Inside American Education," - The Decline, the Deception, the Dogmas. pages 212-214 "At Cornell University, the freshman seminar program has become "filled with courses of political orientation." At the University of Michigan, introductory biology - used to satisfy students natural science distribution requirement - became a setting for films and slides about Nicaraguan politics, denunciation of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, and other unrelated matters.... "For example, the professor in a University of Massachusetts (Amherst) course entitled, "Contemporary American History" declared: "I am biased, I'm not going to give you both sides to every question." He also said: "This course will be consistently anti-American." Like brainwashing in public schools and in Maoist China, this course requires "personal experiences" to be dealt with, beginning with a question on the first assignment: "Where's your head and how did it get that way? What are your politics? ... "A professor at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota gave extra credit to students in his course who took part in a protest demonstration - 5 points for marching and 20 points for carrying a sign. "Marxist professors, who have on more than one occasion openly advocated the use of the classroom for ideological indoctrination, have likewise openly used their grading power to reward students who espouse the Marxist line and punish those who do not.... "Despite high grades and lax standards in ideological courses, students who oppose the brainwashing may be dealt with severely. A leftist professor at Dartmouth has been described as a "political grader" who "tolerates no intellectual diversity in her class." In a religious studies class at Humboldt State College in California, when a student stated arguments against the professor's anti-nuclear views, he was cut off with "That's not what I am looking for" and it was suggested that he not come back of class.... "Again the fundamental problem is not ideological imbalance to the left, but classroom brainwashing itself. When students must be "well-practiced parrots" as the Texas Review says, in order to get good grades in ideologically oriented courses, the real problem is not with what they are parroting but with the fact that they not learning to use and develop their own minds, in the process of reaching their own conclusions."

Steven Mosher & the Scourge of Political Correctness

Steven Mosher & the Scourge of Political Correctness In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 EXCERPTS FROM THOMAS SOWELL'S BOOK, INSIDE AMERICAN EDUCATION, PAGES 191-193 "An even more severe permanent punishment was inflicted on a Stanford graduate student named Steven Mosher, who was not even on campus when he committed his violation of political correctness. Like many graduate students who have completed their course work, Mosher was no longer in residence but was pursuing other activities elsewhere, pending the writing of his doctoral dissertation in anthropology. Elsewhere was China, which had only recently agreed to allow some Americans scholars into the country. "After his stay in China, Mosher shocked much of the world by revealing that country's widespread compulsory birth control program, including compulsory abortions, imposed on Chinese women by the Communist government. "His book Broken Earth became a best seller and help shatter the rosy picture of Maoist China being promoted by many Western intellectuals on the left, including academics on American college campuses. In addition to rubbing Stanford's left-wing anthropology department the wrong way ideologically, Mosher's book also jeopardized the newly available access to China. Chinese government officials wrote to Stanford denouncing Mosher's activities in China. "Steven Mosher was terminated as a graduate student from Stanford, prevented from earning the PH.D which plays such a crucial role in an academic career... Not one stated requirement for the doctorate in anthropology was even claimed to have been violated, nor the facts in his book challenged. Instead, criteria of personal behavior were created ex post as a reason why the department "could not certify you as an anthropologist," even if the remaining academic requirements of a doctoral dissertation were met. "These new personal behavior criteria included "responsibility for the welfare of those he is studying" and a "professional imperative for sensitivity to others." Moreover, these nebulous personal behavior standards were repeatedly and insistently depicted by Stanford University's President Donald Kennedy as professional criteria in anthropology, rather than university rules about personal conduct - for the latter have due process protections which Mosher was never accorded "Instead, Mosher was given one hour in which to make his case, and denied the presence of his attorney, on the grounds that "presence of counsel would make for an adversarial confrontation rather than informative colloquy" - even though this "informal colloquy" could ruin his whole professional career. "To complete the Alice-in-Wonderland reasoning, Mosher was repeated denounced buy Kennedy for "lack of candor" because Mosher's letters to his professor did not reveal many aspects of his personal life in China, nor his misadventures with the Communist authorities, as he sought our information that they did not want him to have. Yet there were neither university rules nor department Ph.D requirements that he write to his professors at all, much less that he detail his relations with the opposite sex, his legal difficulties with the Communist authorities... Yet failure to adequately disclose these things were among the key reasons given for expelling him from Stanford's Ph.D. program. "President Donald Kennedy waxed indignant that "Mosher was not candid about the very relevant fact that he and the 'translator' are now married, that he "failed to mention" his arrest in China "until directly asked, ... Even if every charge and every interpretation in the in the thousands of words in Kennedy's official decision were 100 percent correct, there would not still be a single violation of the existing rules for receiving a Ph.D in anthropology at Stanford. "Of all the many campus injustices across the country, what happened to Steven Mosher was the academic Dreyfus case of our time. But there was no Emil Zola to write "J'ACCUSE" A man who attacked both Communism and birth control was obviously not "politically correct" and could so expect few defenders. George H. Kubeck Steven Mosher is today President of "Population Research Institute, P.O. Box 1559 Front Royal, VA 222630-9800 - Founded in 1989 by Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B. (1920-2010)

The Gospel according to Saul Alinsky In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Friday, September 13, 2013 What is it about the writings of Saul Alinsky that captures the beliefs of not only our President Barack Obama but also Hillary Clinton and even a CINOP MSNBC Talk Show Host. I wish you could read the writings of ex-communist David Horowitz. His Freedom Center has a booklet titled, Barack Obama's "Rules for Revolution, The Alinsky Model" will help you understand this unknown President of ours. Here are some excerpts from pages 18-21. "In The 18th Brumaire, Marx himself summed up the radical's passion by invoking a comment of Goethe's Mephistopheles: "Everything that exist deserves to perish." ... "The many names of Satan are also a model for the way radicals camouflage their agendas by calling themselves at different times Communists, socialists, new lefties, liberals, social justice activists and most consistently progressives.... "Alinsky's tribute to Satan as the first radical is further instructive because it reminds us that the radical illusion is an ancient one and has not changed through the millennia. Recall how Satan tempted God and Eve to destroy their paradise: If you will rebel against God's command the "You shall be as gods." This is the radical hubris" We can create a new world. Through our political power we can make a new race of men and women who will live in harmony and peace and according to the principles of social justice. We can be as gods.... "The Jacobin attempt to liquidate Catholics and their faith was the precursor of Lenin's destruction of 100,000 churches in the Soviet Union to purge Russia of reactionary ideas. The "Temple of Reason" was replicated by the Bolsheviks' creation of "People's Church" whose mission was to usher in the "worker's paradise." This mission led to the murder not of 40,000 as in the Vendee, but 40 million before its merciful collapse - with progressives cheering its progress and mourning its demise. "The radical fantasy of an earthly redemption takes many forms, with similar results: *The chimera of "sexual liberation" caused leftists to condemn and ban the proven public health methods for combating AIDS - testing and contact tracing - as "homophobic," leading directly to the preventable deaths of more than 300,000 gay men in the prime of life. * The crusade to rid mankind of the scourge of DDT, which was launched in the 1960s by the American environmentalist Rachel Carson, led to a global ban on the use of DDT and the return of malaria. This has resulted in the deaths of 100 million children, mainly black Africans under the age of five. #The left's campaign to build a welfare utopia under the umbrella of the "Great Society" destroyed the inner city black family, spawned millions of fatherless black children, and created intractable poverty and a violent underclass which is still with us."

The Role Played by Secular Humanism

The Role played by Secular Humanism In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Preface: We are all products of our educational system. Thomas Sowell hits nail on the head with his book written 20 years ago. It is titled, Inside American Education, The Decline, The Deception, and the Dogmas. There are several sections. Here is one of them on p.59. "Ideology is another potent force behind the promotion of attitude-changing programs and shapes much of the content, the psychological-conditioning methods, and the circumvention and undermining of parents. "Advocates of secular humanism, for example, have been quite clear and explicit as to the crucial importance of promoting their philosophy in the schools, to counter or undermine religious values among the next generation. As an article in Humanist Magazine puts it: "I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being.... "While the organized secular humanist movement might seem to be a small fringe group, its impact on education is out of all proportion to its size. For example,, Carl Rogers - the psychotherapist who was of the leading figures in introducing psychotherapeutic techniques into schools - was proud of having been named Humanist of the Year by the American Humanist Society. "Rogers' dismissive attitude towards religion, and his contempt for American culture in general, are reflected in a vast literature, reaching well beyond his own considerable corps of disciples ... "Promoters of internationalism have likewise seen a need to undermine patriotism or other national cultural traditions through "global education." Gay rights advocates have also been active in promoting the use of school materials, including movies, promoting the use of homosexual lifestyle, and boosting the social image of homosexuals. "One of the largest organizations, with one of the oldest and most thoroughly elaborated ideologies and most sophisticated promotional operations, is Planned Parenthood. The very name is deceiving, for the last thing they are planning is parenthood. Planned Parenthood is an organization with a population-repression ideology..." George H. Kubeck Our President Barack Obama is a product of the above educational system and a promoter of Planned Parenthood. I have a great admiration for the writers Thomas Sowell and Ben Carson. They would have been great presidents. Both are authentic Black Americans. Their heritage does not include promotion of abortion-on-demand or same-sex marriage. Barack is kind of a stand-in first Black American President. His mother was white and his father was born & educated in Africa.

An Unhappy Labor Day Weekend - 2 of 2 In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Labor Day Monday, Sept. 2, 2013 We finish Mark Lansbaum's great article in the Orange County Register, Saturday, August 31, 2013, "Paying for Years of Denigrating value of Work." "After five decades of a government waging a "war on poverty," poverty is winning; at 16.1 percent it is higher than when the war began, in the 1960s. "It seems Washington is intent on expanding the ranks of the impoverished and government reliant, rather than the ranks of full-time workers and the self-reliant. "In Obama's first four years, an average of 11,000 persons a day were added to food stamp rolls, which now incredibly, include more than 47 million Americans.* "What is it about America's contemporary make-up that has reduced the number of start-up jobs per 1,000 from 10.8 to ll.3 for the preceding three presidents to Obama's meager 7.8 jobs per 1,000? "Could the reason be, as the 2012 Heritage Index of Dependence on Government observed, that 63.7 million Americans received either Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Social Security or support for higher education? That was 8 percent more than in the previous year. "The Wall Street Journal found 49 percent of Americans lived in a household where at least one family member received a government benefit. The Obama administration increased how much money the government gives directly to people by 32 percent. "The Protestant work ethic has steadily eroded. The void is filled by government reliance. How many Americans expect to pay their own way for retirement health care? How widespread is celebration of fewer work hours. "Rather than focus on labor's inherent worthiness, these movement increasing focus on free time, prosperity and security...." # George H. Kubeck, * Any other U.S. President would be ashamed of these facts. They would have economic policies that would create jobs not welfare or deliberately attempt to change traditional American values. # We have been sold a false bill of goods. Recklessly mortgaging our children's future and without a change of leadership we will have an economic collapse in our lifetime.
An Unhappy Labor Day Weekend - 1 of 2 In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Sunday, Sept 1, 2012 Preface: For the working classes of America this weekend is one of the worse in US. history. Facts and figures do not lie. There is a mindset with more and more Americans striving to become dependent on government. You decide when you read Mark Lansbaum article in the O.A County Register, Saturday, August 31, 2013, "Paying for years of denigrating value of work." "A century ago, German sociologist Max Weber observed that the "Protestant Ethic" was a principle driving force in what he called "the Spirit of Capitalism" and, consequently largely responsible for the rise of the market-driven commercial system that lifted the West above the rest of the world in terms of prosperity.... "Weber noted the influence of Protestant theologians Martin Luther and John Calvin in transforming a feudal system to a more interconnected system in which labor was deemed worthy in itself, not something to be avoided or regulated to slaves... "Man as created," says the Bible Dictionary, "was intended to work." Puritans and Pilgrims regarded labor as a "calling" and brought the concept to America. Indeed, the Merrian-Webster Dictionary's first definition of "vocation" is "a summons or strong inclination to a particular state call to the religious life." The dictionary's first example is:"This isn't just a job for me; it's a vocation." So what happened? "When Barack Obama was sworn in as president, 60.6 percent of working-age Americans had a job. Today, 58.7 percent do. The number of full -time workers is practically 6 million fewer than in 2007. Of jobs created during Obama's tenure, seven of eight have been part-time. ... (An excellent, more complete list can be found at ConservativeActionAlerts.com: http://bit.ly/16ETOJU "With the help of Congress extending them unemployment benefits as long as 99 weeks, laborers have been encouraged not to seek work. The Labor Department reports that, during the Obama years, unemployment averages 36.6 weeks, compared with 19.8 weeks before he took office. After four years of Obama, the number of Americans "not in the labor force" soared by more than 8 million says the Bureau of Labor Statistics... (to be continued) George H. Kubeck I was perusing through a book, "We the People- The Citizen and the Constitution." by Center for Civic Education - 5146 Douglas Fir Road - Calabasas, Ca. 91302-1467 - (818) 591-9321. The book includes these chapters. 1) What are the Philosophical and Historical Foundation of the American Political System 2) How Did the Framers Create the Constitution 3) How Did the Values and Principles Embodied in the Constitution Shape American Institutions and Practices. etc. Compare the above to what we have in America today, 1) a dumbed down nation, 2) an honest journalism is dead mainstream media 3) and an American Leftist Elite which is an intellectually and morally bankrupt philosophy temporarily ruling our country and changing the character of our people.
