Sri Lanka; Asia; Eurasia: Tamil Tigers shoot nuns, and civilians- nuns escaping war Zone

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Reuters (British; Independent; Secular) 12 / 02 / 2009)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Reuters has reported harrowing stories about the Sri Lankan War: whereby LTTE Rebels ("Tamil Tigers"): have been accused of shooting at civilians who have attempted to flee the war zone. Those shot include nuns.

The Tigers have been careful to attempt good relations with the Church: releasing ten Catholic Orphanage children which were kidnapped to be child soldiers last year. A nun, who had been moving 2 000 civilians from village to village: was told that she could leave: as long as only religious (nuns) left with her. The nuns in this case: stayed with the civilians. This nun, and five others escaped with the aid of the so-called "Red Cross" humanitarian and aid relief grouping.

The Catholic church, and other global voices have called both sides to insure the safety of civilians. Sri Lanka's army claims it is doing such: although a civilian building was earlier hit by artillery.

The Tamil Tigers have ignored repeated requests to let civilians out of the war zone. The group could well believe that having to avoid civilians, may prevent the government from immediately destroying the Tigers. The Tigers are listed as terrorists on several international lists: and the Catholic church has repeatedly in the past worried about civilians who have been in their vicinity.

Stop keeping Nigerians alive: Gay group to EU; as Socialist Spain forces child indoctrination program

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. LifeSiteNews 21 / Jan / 2009; 29 / Jan / 2009)

Article by Marc Aupiais

LifeSiteNews.com is reporting two interesting stories, firstly; following usual code: groups saying they represent "gay" "rights", have asked for EU (European Union) funding to be outright stopped: to Nigeria, which just rejected "Gay" "Marriage": considered evil by Islamics, and Catholics: and therefore democratically rejected in Nigeria. EU funding has been used in the fight against aids: based on religious views: Michael Cashman, Labour MEP and President of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transsexual Intergroup, is the source of these "suggestions". The European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, should receive a request from the "man", asking them to "re-evaluate" funding to Nigeria.

The EU recently past a resolution, attempting to force all member states to recognize "Gay Marriage": and action, considered the Matter of Mortal sin, and intrinsically evil, by the Catholic church. Barak Hussein Obama, Europe's friend in the White house on Abortion: recently lifted a ban on funding foreign abortions with US taxpayer money.

The Federal Government in America, was recently charged with a lawsuite: after helping fund Catholic Church efforts to rescue victims of human trafficking, because the church body, refused to fund abortions with the money given them. An attempt by the American so-called "Democrat" party: to bail out failing abortion clinics, recently failed.

Spain's socialist, and radically anti-religious government, spawned of an Al Qaeda strike, meanwhile: has remove the rights of parents: to remove their children from indoctrination classes: aimed at changing the views of their society on "Homosexuality". Spain's radical rejection of religion, has caused recent discomfort in Catholic circles: as a secularist government attempts to remove church symbols from public areas: and to force through ideological laws, and measures: on Spain's citizens.


According to LifeSiteNews.com:

"Spain's socialist political establishment, however, was jubilant.

"I celebrate that with this the debate is finished," said Spain's Justice Minister Fernandez Bernejo, who added that "this situation has been created by the bad decisions of some autonomous communities who haven't fulfilled their obligation to educate children well.""

The decision was upheld by their supreme court: another judge: who objected to government policy on homosexuality: was recently removed from the judiciary: purely on his belief that a certain lesbian couple: would not give a child they wished to adopt: a natural upbringing, and normal life. Those involved: such as: Benigno Blanco, President of the Spanish Family Forum, object that the decision by a judiciary, with a history: is unconstitutional, as with the Socialist decision to implement the policy.

Atheists don't get away with intrusive, unprovable bus ads in Genoa, Italy

(Catholic Watchdog South Africa; c.f. Reuters (Independent; British; Secular) 17 / 01 / 2009)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Atheist bus ads, denying the existence of God, without proving their unfounded views, which were set to hit the Italian city of Genoa, have been banned: the advertising company; due to a violation of advertising ethics: withdrew, and conservative politicians objected. Italy is largely Catholic.

In Washington DC, America; ads were allowed. In London, Britain, they were used, but these, those in Britain, are possibly to be challenged: as the atheists cannot prove their advert is accurate. In Barcelona, in secularist, socialist, anti-religious Spain: the adverts also appeared on buses.

N Ireland Europe: Government to force church representatives to sign they will protect rights of children: due to repeated failure by church officials

(Catholic Watchdog South Africa; BBC World News (Secular; Government; British)02/Jan/2008)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The structures of the Catholic church, while often well meaning: and possibly better prepared than other forms of hierarchy: are notoriously known for their lack of ability involving insuring accountability. The amount of times, one comes across abuse of human, or religious rights: by church structures: is frightening, at times: due to the same method of treating the church as a family, rather than a government, which is still employed, largely throughout much of the world. In Northern Ireland, even church regulations have not been listened to, by those involved in matters involving child protection: resulting in state authorities resorting to getting every church representative: from bishop to priest: to sign that they will adhere to Irish laws on the matter. A bishop implicated in such, has refused, at our last check to resign: against calls from the general public in the region.

While weaknesses in accountability in Catholic church structures: have repeatedly resulted in child abuse: and other, sometimes extremely serious abuses: in local churches throughout the world: the Vatican itself: has implemented screening for predators: of late, and unlike many of those actually involved: the Catholic Pope Benedict XVI: has openly apologized for a collective guilt he felt: resulting in many bishops conferences finally changing policies.

While abuses by clergy in the Catholic church: are markedly below that of other Christian religions: which do not demand celibacy: nor prevent priests from marrying: incompetence: and a lack of accountability; and abuse of authority within local church structures: has resulted in the comparatively lower rates of offense within the church: being mishandled: causing not only scandal, and embarrassment: but along with it: these attitudes which have allowed abuse: have also allowed for many other abuses: resulting largely in schisms such as SSPX, or the leaving of many Catholics from the church.

Further: while the percentage of Catholic priests who abuse minors: is perhaps one of the lowest of any groups, and according to statistics I heard, shortly after the scandal broke: perhaps less than half the percentage of Protestant pastors involved in such: those involved in offenses: were often simply moved around and never prosecuted. Perhaps: a good sign: is that often: the church is advising the contacting of civil authorities due to abuses: and I have since seen at least one letter: claiming that a priest had had his rights to practice as a priest: permanently revoked: and another of other harsh punishment being meted out: as should have been years ago.

What the SSPX, names as the result of Vatican II, or as a result of large abandoning of Latin: can largely be accounted to a lack of accountability in many local churches: as demonstrated by the manner in which the church: in countries where Catholic ethics are adhered to: has grown phenomenally.

As the cover-ups, and abuses are inherently, and utterly apposed to Catholic Ethics, teachings, and morality: it is safe to say: that these come not from the Catholic religion, which is considered, like the Papal line: to be a creation of God: but rather: from those groupings collectively, and individuals individually: who within it, have deviated from such: and from those others, who have allowed this deviation to go unpunished: in small and great.

Nor, can the religion's followers, or all structures themselves be blamed: many are champions of human rights: and the Catholic religion was created by a man: who himself triumphed human rights: including rights of those abused at the hands of an authority: also considered by Jesus: to have been created by God: but to also be fallible in everyday decisions: as the Catholic church also considers itself to be.

The Irish church has taken a great step, in releasing statistics on this issue, and the American church: has also begun to recover: however: the South African church's continued choice: not to implement canon law: as regards more minor offenses: such as heresy; or, and this one falls into the extremely serious category: the promotion of abortion (which is excommunicable, according to Canon law): in literature sold at churches, in such a manner: that priests advertise it: and the mass of Catholic faithful: believe this literature to be the voice of the local bishops : means that; while we have heard little, if any information on such other issues here: the structures: seem fully unprepared to deal with any such thing.

The fact, that we have such a reply, seemingly from Cardinal Napier: on the fact, he has no desire to act on the Southern Cross: issue; makes one wonder what should happen if such a scandal as sexual abuse of minors were to spread widely in South Africa.

Italy, EU, Europe: Italian Speaker of house (who entered politics as a Fascist) Tries to place blame of WWII attrocities on Catholic: In another attack by the Italian establishment on the church

(Catholic Watchdog South Africa;(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. BBC World News (Secular) 17/12/2008; Other Stories covering it listed by Google News (Secular) :accessed by us: 17/12/2008; See What We See News Archive 17/12/2008; The British "Times" (secular) 17/12/2008)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Gianfranco Fini, leader of what was once officially a "neo-fascist party" (BBC World News (Secular) 17/11/2008;The British "Times" (secular) 17/12/2008) "Alleanza Nazionale"(The British "Times" (secular) 17/12/2008) who BBC says droped his neo-Fascist agendas earlier in his career, in order to appeal to mainstream politics, has seemingly slipped back into old ways. As speaker of the Italian parliament, one of those parliaments in "Catholic" nations: in Europe: which has periodically of late passed laws hardly representative of a Catholic viewpoint, he now lays the blame for the deportion of the Jews, by the Fascists: to Nazi Germany: on the Vatican.

He says that the Vatican did not make any real effort to appose racial legislation, despite claims, aired in the article by the British "Times", that the Vatican made sharp condemnations of the laws.

Missing in his accusation, as "speaker" of the "Italian" "Parliament", is the fact the Italy exists, having militarially conquered the Vatican, and that it was a treaty by the Fascists during such rule of Italy's politics, when the Lateran treaty was created: confining the Vatican to what is now the country bearing its name. Also excluded are the many iniatives by the Pope of World War II, which: against established customs: caused Religious organizations of Catholics (such as nuns and others) on masse, especially religious organizations such as nunaries: to habor Jewish people.

Also missing is the fact that Vatican further condemnations, would have meant little at this time of persecution, the Vatican certainly could not have taken military action, what possible lack of action may be the source of the accusations is hard to immagine.

 Italy had kicked Catholicism out of that role via force, as it still does, via voices such as those of that man. This seems another anti-catholic attack, and the source of it, in a party, once known for its fascism: is revealing. Placing guilt on those who don't object loud enough, or can't object as they would have desired: is a typical strategy of those attempting to throw guilt away from themselves. Still, if there were guilt there might have been some place for apology: there is none: Pope Benedict XVI assures us of this, and we will see it ourselves, when the Secret Archive of the time are made public to scholars in a few years time. Currently, they are being organized.

EU: Analysing how to turn ailing, breaking, yet still fighting: Europe into a tool for God, as it was once so powerfully purposed as!

(Scripturelink Voter's Guide)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The average citizen has been preached a false gospel, a gospel of prosperity over Christ, of development over hope: of hoping in tyrants and evil men with false promises; over what is right. Europe; who owes its very existence to Christianity, and fought on this basis against Nazi occupation, which maintained hope and revolution in this, and conquered Communism in its borders by it: also is doomed for rejecting it.

America rejected the church, by pulling out of now communist Vietnam: based on a gospel which included non-aggression, and "free-love". Europe was rebuild after the Second World War: on a treaty called Pax Christi: and it is a Christian force which has held it together. Now, only political necessity holds. The EU is a treaty aimed at making the lives of some better, memberships are political, and politically done and influenced: like NATO: the EU has become a sanctuary for those with enough influence to maintain membership. Once proud nations, like France, and Ireland, and Great Britain: have fallen to ease, and to political ends: sacrificing their Christian heritage for this: or falling for the lie that Christianity is an embarrassing parent: to be hidden in the home.

We never used to dip hands in Holy Water after mass: the meaning is to remind of baptism, and clear the mind of secular thoughts: to focus on God; yet often: the ritual seems to mark the closing of the mind and soul to its saviour: and the washing of the mind of all the hope they have been given.

Europe once conquered enemies of faith, and of hope, and the basic dignity of man: now instead: politics are the realm of corruption, radicals, and those apposing the people. European democracy is in danger at its core: their attacks on Islam, have already had responses: and for every attack on a minority, whether Catholic or Islamic: they dig their grave further: making it harder for the men steering of faiths to preach peace: and coming closer to grounds for armed resistance against a political force: already, the danger has emerged: already, many of the factors exist. Europe risks alienating themselves from the rest of the world; a world which increases in instability; once united in religions. By religion: Islam united the Arab tribes: and by religion: Catholicism conquered Europe, uniting it as war craft and politics only divided it.

Belief unites, and belief rebuilds: Pax Christi: the treaty which rebuild Europe. Corruption is what maintains Africa in the Dark, and selfishness maintains Europe as only a secondary player in world politics: endangered by any small rupture in a global market of danger.

In the center of Great African Cities: selfishness causes gridlock. When a traffic light is green: one only has the right to go: if it is clear the other end: yet in Africa: cars often go against this law of the land. The day before yesterday, I was stuck in traffic for fifty minutes: without a traffic light out, on roads wide enough; without fault or issue: because cars and taxis, and buses were selfish: they went on red and green: and I was stuck in the middle of an intersection unable to go: because cars wanted a few more inches.

Neither human rights, nor perks are the basis of an Alliance: an alliance based on either of these: quickly becomes selective: and corrupt. Nations argue, and break apart: nations soon gain bad reputations, and gain hatred for their selfishness. Other nations unite out of mimicry and fear of Europe: following Europe, Southern Africa's SADC, and South Africa's brainchild: the African Union were born: it is these bodies which maintain Zimbabwe's genocide: and appose western efforts so effectively.

It is the lesson of the First World War: that one alliance spawns another: so far as an alliance is political. And now: Europe attacks religion: what shall justify her, human rights? No: the world sees the double set of rights: and the different weighings given via political aims: one may have human rights when it is of benefit to Europe. Compare guilty Georgia, with sinless victims in Rwanda, or Congo, or Zimbabwe: how fast some human rights are protected, how slow others. Human Rights are often disposed of: no Genocide as yet has been stopped by Alliances in Europe, or the United Nations: not until such blood is spilled.

As long as "human rights" are the basis of alliances: these will fall: they are but laws, and laws are twisted and broken. Europe will collapse, will fall: as America has begun to: and then who shall be our false: replacement saviour? Any political system which is based only on necessity will collapse; and break like malnourished children. The basis of Europe, like the basis of America, has been wiped clean: her essence, which lay in culture is devastated: decimated as she turns on herself. The Islamic nations continue to grow, to prosper: and the west continues to decline: unable to conquer to root of their undoing: and unable to fight the symptoms: which would take a conquering of all the world: impossible as long as their alliance is purely for mutual profit, and benefit.

How then can Europe resolve itself: except trough dignity. By dignity and not human rights can a nation establish itself king of all the world, and governor: should their basis be this: will we not give them access to our seats of political power: dignity and compassion and truth: the liberalism which is liberal in every extreme: yet utterly conservative in morals: the liberalism which saved Europe for thousands of years: this will bring it to power: and solidify the bonds of Europe: destroying all enemies: should they only cling to it.

Such a liberalism allows anything which is moral to be pursued: yet not that which is immoral. Thereby: a Europe which creates "gay marriage" or distributes ineffective "contraception", or kills infants: will never rise to glory: for such a society does not conserve itself: yet imploded. "Gay" "marriage" encourages dangerous societal activities; which destroys Europe's culture, and any hope of being looked up to by a rational man. Further: such is a lie to world and self. Catholic science has created ways of preventing birth: natural ways: which like natural fibers as compared plastic: are environmentally friendly: and create a strong culture: one can abstain from sexual intercourse a few days a cycle: such builds perseverance. More than that: it is not unnaturally controlling birth or death. The Greeks assigned this to Gods: we assign it to nature and to our God. The Greek "Gods" of this were the "fates": likewise: we appose unnatural regulation of births and deaths: yet postponing life artificially: is the realm of men: even the Greeks agree: allowing doctors to heal:

causing human death is the realm of God: forbidden to men; except out of obedience to the laws of God, and right, or prudent,  judgment in seeming necessity. Abortion is never necessary, nor artificial contraception.

Europe was once the star of nations: should they return to the heritage: which Africa and others continually soak up with hope: it will be the continent through which all continents are civilized: and the wielder of truth which destroys the corrupt evils of global politics. Europe, not America can be our political saviour: but Europe must reconcile its body with its soul: and begin to feed fully off its source again: as some parts have to an extent.

Still, whatever the tyranny forced on the world by political alliances: Europe carries most hope: yet her people must abandon the lie of false "irreligious secularism"; and stop hiding who they truly are: below lies of ideology. True secularism is an invention of religion: it is the freedom within moral boundaries to profess ones own truth; it is also the consigning of religion and politics to public, private and communal life: while treating the religions of others as with respect. True secularism is not the absence of differing beliefs: but rather the allowance of them in a treaty: which allows each man justice, and each thing its time: yet allows religion in her place: that which is moral, that which is spiritual, and as the conscience, and driving force of sense and development in a society; and a pushing force of love and social justice. All things have their place: Europe must relearn her past learnings: Europe must return to rational secularism: the sort which makes allies out of religion: not enemies: only then will she be safe from terrorism, and war from such: and also then will she have a united people: living saints, and moved by saints: then she shall conquer hunger, and much tyranny, and aggression: for only democracy, or a system yielding to the True Secularism can ever maintain itself against winds and storms of changing power: where the people are religious: they endorse what is mentally healthy: and what is moral: is most sane. Laws, on which nations are based are based on dignity, which is protected in religion: no system based on hiding or denying truth can ever maintain. The gospel is the basis of any nation, and must be endorsed by all nations.

Let us endorse: as true: the true one and only human right: that to human dignity: and expand this into those rights and laws which are just. Dignity is our only true constitution: the entirety of founding of nations depends on this one thing. The dignity of man is not singular: we all have one dignity: and when any bit of it is abused: all men suffer: for our shared single dignity is our united commonness. We are as many: yet our dignity: whom Christian call God's descending as man: is one: should it be wounded in one: it is wounded in all: so that even if man wounds his own dignity: he offends us also.

For dignity is the respect due to man: like blood thirsty beasts, who taste human flesh: it is departing from sanity, which is connection with truth: to deny dignity: so also: those who are allowed or allow one dignity to be abused; against justice: cause a society which disrespects all mens dignity.
