Retraction of lack of detail in earlier article, a detail we have now picked up as somewhat affecting the picture given in the article.

Retraction:

Retraction of incorrect detail:

While we did not mention that it was the embryology bill that we were covering in the original article, which we have now retracted, due to our sources, it appears we are talking about the actual bill, and not the proposed amended bill. We may or may not have given an incorrect view of the subject, however- in accordance with Journalism principles, on realizing the error, we have not only altered the article, but determined also to inform any who may have read it, of a mistake one word long. What we had called a bill- was only a possible amendment to it, which was stifled in parliament, probably following protests in Northern Ireland, in an effort to pass the bill to allow the creation of human-animal mutants, as has now been passed!

The Embryology bill was only hoped by pro-abortion advocates to include
these regulations, we made an error in our report by saying the bill
would include them- this was incorrect, on the discussion of the bill-
in order to pass it- the British did not permit the pro-abortion, or
pro-life parties to discuss amendments such as those mentioned
previously, we give our readers apologies for the error. Here is the updated version of the article! We have since removed this error of writing from the article, and offer our sincere apologies for this error, which somehow worked it's way into this specific article, while we ourselves picked up the error, if you ever see a detail in our articles which appears suspect, or even a spelling mistake, please research it, and inform us, our first aim is for truth, we unlike other organizations put truth beyond any cover-up of bad sources, or information. We not only apologize for the error, but will try our hardest to prevent any such slip of the pen from ever occurring again via extensive editing,
yours sincerely,

Editor and webmaster of
South African Catholic

Britain- embriology bill passes 3-1; excluding reglations suggested by culture of death to allow abortion until birth, and in Northern Island, but allowing for the creation of human-animal mutants, and medication farm children to be harvested and used to temporarially cure sick siblings

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 24/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

While the new British embryology bill, passed in parliament today allows for research which involves implanting sperm in vitro- into animal eggs, following the recent creation of a human, cow cross-breed mutant, and also for the creation of children via science, much like the designer baby created in Spain recently- purely for the purpose of being health tools for siblings, aspects suggested to allow abortion in Northern Ireland, which could be considered genocide- have been kept from the bill which passed. These were not even allowed to be discussed, along with ideas of allowing abortion until birth, which were also not permitted as part of the bill. This is possibly in the wake of Irish protests against the propositions.

Agenzia Fides- India- Catholic Archbishop alleges appearances of government cover-up over Indian anti-Christian Genocide

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 22/10/2008)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Archbishop of Orissa's capital is calling the latest "inquiry" of the Indian government nothing more than a political move, saying that what is happening in the area in more than apparent, and that the inquiry is simply more efforts by a government, which show nothing more than a lack of will-power to enforce the laws, and constitution of India.

It has been claimed by news sources for months that the Indian Government's apparent efforts at preventing the effects of the anti-Christian genocide in Orissa, India, have been inefficient. Many have even claimed police negligence, as attacks have been said to happen in areas within reach of government forces, and have even been recorded to enter into refugee camps- where more resistant Christians remain. Others, of the minimum 50 000 currently still displaced or adversely affected in the religious persecution, feel safer to face the jungles than trust government officials by living in camps, others have notably fled the area entirely.

Recently- it was reported that the gradual emptying of camps was not a good sign- but rather it was observed by some and it was speculated that it was evident that Christians were moving out of the area. This was furthered last Friday when the Hindu fundamentalist who chased the Christians away from their homesteads, through violence, murder, and the burning of possessions, have since been reported as having appropriated the houses of those who barely escaped their wrath. That is to say they have taken over, and are living in the houses of those they have killed, and chased away.

It is in this context that Archbishop Raphael Cheenath of Bhubaneshwar,the capital of Orissa has accused the government of India of appearing to be attempting a cover-up of the negligence of government officials, through the current inquiry by judges appointed to look into the ongoing genocide. He has asked for impartial judges to look into the violence, and events surrounding it- clearly stating his belief that the judges currently looking into the violence have no aim at justice- but are biased from the start. The judges were appointed without consultation of victims or communities.

India still continues a practice since the beginning of the violent upheaval- of not releasing to the international press the identity of those who are killed. On the ground- the corpses are more than obviously Christian, as related- to the international press by friends and family of those primitively, yet tactically murdered.

The culture resultant of truth echanted- and the searching within, and hearing of truth

(Journey in a Broken World)

Article by Marc Aupiais

One is often even unknowingly fascinated by the strange odd workings of spies, or saboteurs- imagination has so enjoyed exploring the concept- walking, swimming, driving, flying, crawling, running, entering into a place- and knowing you will destroy it- speaking with people, being with them- knowing you will directly or indirectly destroy some part of them... Seeing an area, a small part of observed "reality", and beyond all doubt knowing it soon will be nothing where there appeared something, knowing you will be sure soon that it is no longer something to affect others with the powers of those within it.

The spy does not too deeply, nor too addictively attack himself with the culture of another, nor connect with too primitively- those he spies on. Rather- he is entrenched cleverly, based within, and working either within his self, or his culture. It is not the strength of this culture alone, which keeps him powered in his inhumane task- but rather a deeper "truth" he perhaps only seems to perceive within. Whether monetary, or social, or economic gain- or some thing which enables him to resist every human prompting of those he has subtly been sent to destroy.

Christians also are much like saboteurs. They have been sent into the area of a military base, a base once entirely God's. This base is the world, and in this nation we since have been tasked with the destruction of untruth, and of a culture with no basis. What we attack is not cultures, whirlwinds based on national identity, which oft are good, or keep parts and manifestations of good and commonality but rather we are tasked with destroying small aspects of these or other societal trends... illusions of the enemy, which at the core are prompted to appear- in that form of what at first seems as though it were culture, but has nothing to do with the core of a culture.

We so often think the tornado, or great storm has a source, or perhaps an eye- yet here the source is an illusion created by the tornado itself, it is not the sun as with natural storms.

Truth itself also creates a ghostly affect on all around- a culture so to speak- which bends and molds, and moves all around it- twisting, turning, or watering with growth, and small gusts of wind. Strong culture, a child of shared truths, or at least a hidden undercurrent of potent culture should emerge within strong truths.

When culture emerges without a potent truth to manifest- we know that the culture- left uncontrolled is weak to the use of it by evil in its own powers. Culture must be based in common truth- and truth must hold the culture together. When a culture is otherwise- it is but an illusion of circumstances- a parasite which has hooked into what could have been culture and twisted it just enough to cause it to be touchable by evil.

The proof of the Catholic culture- of our oneness about truth- is that for at last, and I say last, not least- in a more potent skirmish than many- this one hundred years of almost a epic of battle against a modern enemy spawned of illusions' battle mills... It has been under attack on the basis, and level of culture- but with truth as her foundation- culture cannot destroy our faith. Culture often is the effect those following truth or falsehood strongly have on those around them- in that often from the essence of the Catholic Culture- the reach of the Holy mother church itself extends vine-like limbs, trickling with water, and danger- which themselves affect change. That is to say that truth manifest- in culture itself has great effect on all that surround this power. Truth itself can only truly control those who believe it- but culture- the effect of truth extends beyond this.

Perhaps this is what we mean when we say there is salvation beyond the visible church- that the unseen, and seen effects of church on world- often causes surroundings which are beneficial to salvation... and cause others to share within the soul itself of mother church- even as many cannot see this hidden, latent effect of grace.

The Catholic must not become too attached to that enemy which we must kill- and so we must not gain any true love for the substance and nature, and actings of sin- this is deadly- and at the moment of deathblow- may cause one not to strike- may cause one to die for the sake of weakness- as one is consumed and loses all similarity to truth- our emblem and our source, to whom we must connect.

Truly- we must ponder what natural desire is being distorted when we feel desires of sin acting externally to our reason, but strongly against our life, and embrace this other true, undistorted feeling which evil has tried to use as a host- sinking into it like a diver, or otter, or water creature which silently dives within a pool of warm water.

Likewise- a stranger and a spy- listens carefully- and is prudent with every action- weighing exactly what is required- and always is taking to acting when the moment seems most opportune.

It is foolish to act too fast or too slow, and often an almost neutral tone is all that is needed- but other times one must be utterly offensive, or defensive- yet this is oft in actions. An understanding of self is needed in this- a understanding of how it is God communicates with us- is a requirement, and the purer the soul- the more potent this voice of silence becomes.

In these hundred years we have been foolish carpenters, and boat-makers, who forgot to mold the boat as the ancients did. When the spy foundation is attacked via culture- we must reply not only in truth, but in culture, in the good venom of true actions- the results of our world-view, and that which oft prepares the ground for the planting of truth, and maintains these delicate conditions enough to allow the plant to grow. We should not be passive- but the way to conquer the danger we lie within- can only be done through offensive thrusts of manifestations of truths- through constantly being just slightly different- or much different- so as to be an emblem against which the enemy cannot stand- strong in culture- and strong on our diet of truth and sacrament.

We must always remember- this world will not last- and to love what is passing it to weaken us in the moment of the strike. We must not adopt the ways of our enemies- but rather cause them through strong culture to adopt ours. This way we are able to magically conjure the illusion of those we know- into firm reality- and conduction of God. A large rock is oft avoided by waves which circle it- and behind it is still, even protected water- we must not be too meek- but powerful- for like a lighthouse, or as a person standing against the oncoming crowd- should we back away- we will be knocked down- and hardly accounted for- but should we stand firm- we should remain so with perseverance.

Often victory is achieved in a neutral force- the invisible tentacles of truth working through the soul which hears, and has learned to listen through the veil of silence- and understands the secretly not too volatile flow of life- which manifests in observed reality. To understand one's own desires- and their source, and the desires which mesh together to form the pattern desire we see- is to understand what our emotions- our warning systems are telling us. It is also to understand the emotions of those we come into contact with better. To focus on the things this world has to offer as its false culture desires us to view them- is to have lost and died already. To focus, and manifest, through the lowering of our souls within- illustriously on the flow and powers emanating from the depths of truth, and splashes of effect- of the true invisible vital force of truth- is to live.

Those who take things into the truth- rather than trying to view the true source of that outside of the true fold- are attempting to mix the effects of truth with the substance of evil and delusion, which does not exist. It is the allowance of this which has so crippled much of the church in the modern world- which largely is spurred along not by reason and logic- but by the dying effects of the core we once held strong. To take something into truth- one must make it true- and that is to say that from within truth- the arms of truth must be extended- so as to alter lies enough that they cease to be lies- so that what is brought into truth is from truth, for it holds resonance with truth.

To hold strong against the modernist onslaught- the church must not adapt as the world adapts, as illusion so easily does- but rather must once again explore her founding truths and prove her stance to herself with reason and truth- and then emanate this truth through culture- and utter boldness and strength- for the tentacles, and tides of a culture near destroyed are increasingly weak and undefined. We must once again connect with the moon which formed the tides, and do so in all clarity, and fullness of truth- and that is when once again we will lap up the rocks of the sand- and cover the small islands of rebellion once again with the waters of truth- which shall truly suffocate a culture which does not exist.

Indeed- to match the modern world, we must grow our own roots and branches- and not fall weakly into substituting false hope, or adaption that not of our vine. Rather- we must see the goodness of the world, and stare into the misty glass of truth, and make out the form which is so badly reflected within the outside world, and call this true form to life once again- knowing that what we saw outside in not proportionate, nor of us, and therefore in its own could damage our immune system. Rather- we must look for our own version of every tool outside of the truth. We must contact our own craftsmen, and craft the truer and better form of strategy and tool- designed andd crafted truly since the beginning of time itself.

India- Agenzia Fides- Indian Hindu Fundamentalists reappropriate Christian lands- having driven thousands into jungles, killed many,

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 21/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Having chased them from their homes by a calculated Genocide- in which Christian sources allege government negligence- Hindu Fundamentalists are moving into homes once belonging to Christians.

The lower levels in refugee camps, according to Agenzia Fides- cannot be attributed to a drop of violence- but to Christians migrating away from the violence. Over 50 000 people are facing obsticles, while hiding in Indian jungles, despite dangers faced from nature, and constant threat of annihilation from Hindu extremist, or else in government sponsored refugee camps- into which some attacks have been picked up as succeding by international press agencies.

India recently made headlines for a mission into space- it cost 60 million Euros.

The lives cost of Christians within the country due to inadequate actions from a government which either can't or wont secure the security of Christian citizens- has been far greater than sending an object into space to analize resources on the moon.

Rwanda- New government snubs France- possibly over differences on 1994 Genocide, where the French want Rwanda's president to stand trial for murder, and Rwandan documents since this ruling against their government of a French Judge now accuse French involvement

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 21/10/08; Mail and Guardian South Africa 05/08/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Since coming into office- Rwanda's new administration has not only taken French off the list of official languages- children in schools must be taught in, and those approaching government officials must communicate in English, but has recently withdrawn from meetings with other French speaking nations.

Agenzia Fides, and other sources have speculated as to claims that this could have to do with differences between the government of France, and that in office in Rwanda over whether or not French officials should be tried on accusations within Rwanda of French soldiers, and politicians on crimes such as training militias, or other alleged involvements. The French have flatly denied any part, saying their only role in the conflict was the UN sanctioned mission which encompassed the protection of civilians.

This follows demands by a French judge in 2006 for the Rwandan president to be tried for the death of his predecessor in 1994, the opinion of which is an action which the Mail and Guardian believes could have spurred the genocide in 1994.

Vatican- poor should benefit from communications technology

(Social justice South Africa; c.f. Zenit News 21/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Archbishop Claudio Celli, of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications- has stated that the church is using and benefiting from communications technology, but that many poorer nations and peoples are disadvantaged by lack of technology.

He was speaking on the 14th of this month, after signing an agreement with a company to further needs of those concerned.

Vatican- permanent observer to United Nations- Laws must never simply be regulations

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Zenit News Service 21/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Vatican's permanent observer to the United Nations has stated that while laws are a necessity- regulations must never prevent the protection of the deeper values on which they have their basis. He further enforces that it is by the foundation of values, and respect for human dignity, as fostered in society and public realm as a whole that people are protected and justice done. He dismissed as less than just- the concept that law should be simply the implementing of norms created in past judgments, and regulations. He demonstrated his view that without respect for deeper values- laws cease to protect dignity, and human rights.

Archbishop Celestino Migliore, who represented the Vatican in making these statements- said that law should treat all people equally, regardless of social, economic, or political realities. He believes law should at its foundation- respect dignity, and truly is needed as it has become a pillar of the international efforts at global development.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights- he says- clearly implies a need for the rule of law.

Chastity South Africa- Vatican Psychiatrist- Celebacy is a way of standing against a false view of sexuality, and marriage- in Defence of celebacy

(Chastity South Africa; c.f. CathNews 22/10/08; Catholic News Service 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Dr Manfred Lutz, psychiatrist to the Congregation for the Clergy- said that the vocation of celibacy is not only at utmost a practice required in utmost necessity in the role of many within the church- but powerfully- a permanent protest against mass superficiality, within large parts of modern culture. He appealed that those who cannot live chastely- should not marry. He informed those who still have different opinions than that he was presenting- that marriage was about more than sex, and that those who view the role of a woman in a relationship as to satisfy sexual ideas- often cannot stand natural and good practices such as celibacy- in that it contradicts their worldview.

Vatican to UN- Malaria still a threat- poor need treatment

(Social justice South Africa; c.f. Zenit News Service 21/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Permanent observer of the Vatican to the United Nations- has highlighted the plight of millions, who contract malaria each year. At least two people die every sixty seconds from a disease which is preventable. The Vatican is concerned that the poor are missing out on being cured of a curable disease, and have asked for further efforts in this field.

Journey in a Broken World- What can true love be?

(Journey in a Broken World)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Some have said that true love is insanity- that one who loves is utterly insane- but my view of the topic is as utterly different from this view, even to the very extent that this view is infinitely wrong.

Love is not insanity- rather an illusion we think to be love is.

Love is the very nature of Reality, our Mediator of life- God. To love is to act justly, and sanely- to treat things as they truly are. True love is not an emotion- nor an evolutionary reaction- in fact it has very little to do with these.

True love is not about how another feels about one, we do not stand at the borders of nations to determine whether or not to love, or be hostile- in fact- to truly love a person often means to be in the eyes of the world, what some may believe to be utterly hostile to them- even to destroy them in a blizzard of obstacles and what to the world may seem hatred. Our prototype- God for instance threatens to destroy all who do not obey sanity- he himself has given us a warning shot, killing all but eight persons in the ancient world. True love cares for the state of body and soul, and to quote a dear friend, sometimes entails begging for forgiveness, and this can be painful- yet forgiveness and sorrow at wrong truly allows such resonance between two in love- and truly- resonance is damaged by sin- and so God himself, and we also- sometimes must seem cruel to those we love- even as it is for their goodness, or for goodness itself. There is no excuse of course for unjust cruelty, or disrespecting another's basic dignity.

So let us look at the emotion we call love- it is like flying without one's stomach, or diving into nothingness, or looking into the unknown. This is to say that the person in love considers loss of the one they love to be a danger- and would be hurt in this. What of the joy of seeing one we love, or of empathy- that we like to share views, or do similar things to these wondrous people. Like synchronizing clocks, we often synchronise views with our loved ones, as though careful to avoid conflict within this. More than that- on seeing them we feel great joy- sadly- this joy is largely born out of fear. We fear losing them- and this is why we do all of these things, whatever we call them.

Now- love also has something to do with the resonance of souls, yes we often fall deeply into chasms of hope and joy- to love one like us for fear of loss, but this is not what I now speak so gently and softly and briefly on. To see a soul one loves is to see a soul in resonance of God- what is appealing to one is that which seems to much like what our perfection is. We so love our perfections- the mauve, or the lightly wooden skin, or the pureness of white, and the smoothness of wonderful snow-like complexion. In our love we seek that which is most healthy- most likely to survive- best reflecting the being in which we exist, yet I do not even glance at this as I now speak.

I have said that true love takes the form of justice- what we call cruelty, or kindness or mercy, or pain- often is a result of love, whether proportionate or not- seen acting in but one situation where we give it other names.

Some in one of our neighbouring fields believe that the source of every emotion is eventually love- and that mental issues often come from the ripples on the top of this body whose body's form, and depth we have yet to measure.

So what is love- is it shared moments of great joy, or is it the actings of desire and joy, or rather something deeper- a great deep well of life and death within. Truly, to love another is to firmly resonate God within our small receiving soul so strongly- yet the insanity we speak of in love- comes when one loves with wrong proportion- and for this does not pay justice to others, nor to reason and truth- who should be married to this love, in a ceremony of great effect, and wonderment.

Without love- it is said we cannot live- yet to me- life and love are the same thing. Love is the deepest nature of life- the perfection of Its nature, and actings.

If love is the nature of life itself- and our souls are that which resonate the Perfection of Life- God, however imperfectly into the animation of the physical form- which itself resonates better or worse this life- then to truly love may well be to recognize a soul which resonates with a frequency one with our own.

I believe in the soul mate, in the rib removed from my complacency- that I may find it in another. I believe this because- so often we sense the soul of another- we feel a presence, and look, and glance, and see, even cannot pull away as we are sucked into the memorisation of danger- and note how we always glance as they enter a room- and always seem to feel a tug to where they now situate themselves.

Truly- the soul mate is one with a soul similar to ours, who was designed for one like ourselves, or adapted to be our mate. This is perhaps why the sacred text says- "And the two shall become one"- for our souls may not seem to resonate the one we are meant to find, we may have damaged them- our hurt them- so that the resonance is no longer clear- and this is why- for the sake of a sacrament- God must sometimes strengthen the resonance between souls. Truly- in any true marriage of this form- even a strong bond of soul must often be strengthened- so that the heart feels the pull whether or not we knowingly feel it, or ignore this true effect. Truly- in the true marriage- we are made one- through resonance of the waves of self.

This is also why it is better to marry one endowed with grace- for one endowed with grace has a healthy soul- and the healthier the soul, and the more sane the soul- the more defined, and strong the connecting force- the greater the envelope of truth which combines one to another- and with the aid of angels, and guardians- combines us and maintains us in the Holy Sacrament.

Imagine a lady standing in an icy wasteland- surrounded by evergreen forests, as a small stream trickles past the snow, from a warm mountain source. She stands by a cabin- alone, and lonesome, but not lonely, as she stares into the distance, hoping, longing for something unseen to others.

The reason we are so concerned for all those we love- is that it is good for our souls to resonate- and the healthier others souls- the more joy our soul feels as they also become more like us, and as our own song is strengthened on the winds of bliss, and sorrow, and as the chords we play in love of God are resonated, and echoed in those around.

We love to dance with the souls of others- and it is healthy even to dance around unhealthy souls- for even in small amounts- we heal them if their dance is not too askew.

We love to resonate the soul of another- and this is why man is made for marriage- unlike the animals- he is composite- of aeviernal and temporary, and not simply a mix of temporary soul and form, he, everlasting is soul, and he is body, which also one day will be everlasting- and the body's actions affect the soul- so that certain actions tune the Melody of our souls in such a way- that they can put it off- and destroy it's sustaining connection with Truth, or else cause it to mould, and change ever more defined.

The greater the truth we simply manifest- the more powerful the ability of the soul, and the soul can only hold the truth- the life, the grace- it is renovated to hold. The more we follow the tune of truth- like balloons blown up, or plastic bags which expand in the wind- the greater our capacity to sing with the invisible winds of truth.

Marriage- in the truest perfection of it- is mimicry of the very relations of the Father and the Son, who are love, and through their love does subtly, and for all eternity- form the Holy Spirit. And marriage and family also is the mimicry of the relations of these three persons who are one.

The family is such a manifestation of the basis of our universe- that nature has endowed us with such strong bonds within. Love's acting in marriage gives such joy because certain acts are such manifestations of God's perfect unity- that God wants man to take joy in these. When representing a book, those who see a play based on it can either be pleased or angry, even furious- if it is misrepresented. Marital love is meant for marriage, and seeking sexual pleasure apart from marriage, the actings of just love, which is unitive, and the chance of creating a child, or openness to this- is like misrepresenting the relationship of the Divine Triune God, who we name as The Holy Trinity. It is to defame God through actions- no wonder God, whose nature is love, that is to say that truth manifests itself in love- should for the sake of this truth break the connection between offenders and their soul's life's source- God.

And so true love- and justice are actings of truth, are us echoing the events our souls do observe and intuition is able to sense, and faith does clarify- and refine to form.

True love does make one fly beyond all else- as our form does better move into position- so as to fly like a butterfly, leaves, or flowers, or dust, or ashes- on the wind or stream of cool life- which is God, our Basis, Mediator of Existence and Creator.

Vatican- CNS- Journey in a Broken World- Pope prepares three new endings to the mass- effort seen as evangelism focussed

(Journey in a Broken World; Catholic News Service 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The pope, according to Catholic News Service- has prepared three new formulas for the end of the mass, with an emphasis on evangelism- and impacting the world outside of one hour on Sunday, as well as living in wonderment of God.

Pope- To Doctors- Respect Human Dignity in Patients

(Journey in a Broken World; Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 20/10/08; Vatican Radio 20/10/08; Vatican Information Service 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Holy Father, Pope, Benedict XVI, yesterday noted that because of the human dignity- that even with patients that wont make it- doctors must still ensure they communicate by the best method with patients, and give them relief though their actions, even if they cannot cure these persons. He said that patients want to be understood and heard, and that doctors need to treat them as fellow human beings- giving more than just a clinical diagnoses, and treating every patient, born, unborn, healthy, or sick with dignity and proper respect.

Social Justice South Africa- Spain murders their way into first "Designer Baby"

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Spanish bishops have condemned not only the murder of those embryos that did not make the cut, but the creation of a child for purely one purpose. The Director of “ Fundación Vida” in Spain, Manuel Cruz, who had apposed this was publicly noting of it as treating a person like cattle to be selected. The church as a whole in the country was apposed to the slaughters, as degrading what it means to be human, and the divine dignity of every human soul.

Like the work of Nazi scientists who so prided their work which advanced through the deaths of the helpless, the world should be burning these scientific works, but instead many media outlets are praising the creation of a child selected and created purely with one purpose- to be a blood bank for a relative with a genetic disease. The fact that so many of his bothers were either frozen or dealt with in such a manner as to induce death, so that a visible child could be used to supply the blood transfers- which are also viable via moral methods- has been over-looked.

Whenever I think of abortion- my mind goes to the image of a boiled egg- of opening it and seeing a dead bird inside of it- and vomiting- one of my worst fears. Truly- when animal eggs have an animal part in them- we do not deny it was alive- but what we can't see doesn't exist for many- whether the starving children on my continent- or so many other things. What has happened now is a human rights abuse- the doctors, and the parents should be locked up for life for murder.

Technically- this practice used to create the above mentioned "designer baby"- is called in vitro fertillization.

Multi-choice- a look at DSTV / Mnet's track-record with the church

(Media Study South Africa; c.f. Catholic Watchdog South Africa)

Article by Marc Aupiais

I personally enjoy watching DSTV, I love Carte Blanche, and its power to do good- and not simply because of the French name- and enjoy the variety. What I don't enjoy is the many somewhat suspect movies I have seen on DSTV as regards the Roman Catholic church- from the religious sponsored movie Luther- a completely inaccurate, especially if accurate were Luther's diary of the events, or that of historic sources- depiction of the life of Martin Luther- in which the main Character calls Roman Catholic "friendly" Rome at the time hell, and the pope the devil, or something as bad, to "Saved", and its odd depiction of Christianity, to screening the Davinci Code- to the movie "Breach"- which could well be accurate, as apparently based on a true story- with a main character who is spying on the US, and belongs to Opus Dei it seems. I also think I saw the film Primeval Fear or something on one of their channels- which was not agreeable with my senses, also notable is Kingdom of Heaven and its portrayal of the Church.

A while ago I tried to ask DSTV to add EWTN Global Catholic Television Network, who seemingly supply their service freely- to their television bouquet. I was unsuccessful. There are so many channels with a Evangelical Baptism/Fundamentalist/"Non-denominational denomination" type of feel on their network- that I thought one Catholic, even Anlglican or Lutheran Television station would be just fairness, but I see neither very many Catholic movies, nor many Catholic channels on DSTV.

A channel which is Catholic is Audio channel 170 on DSTV- Radio Veritas- a certainly loyal station, when it comes to obeying South Africa's bishops- which sometimes propagates information contrary to what I have been able to research of history- but none the less propagated by diocesan sources. I also heard it playing music by Justin Timberlake and Madonna (Four Seconds to Save the World) some time ago- but the announcer seemed to be Portuguese, perhaps they thought it appropriate, and the station itself does not claim only to play catholic music- or only music from organizations who promalgate Trinitarian Baptism- as seen in their playing Mormon or other music.

All they promise is the "good news and good music for a change".

One of the problems with Veritas- is that they were interviewing a person from Catholics for Truth, who are hosted on our Archdiocese' evangelism website, who stated-

"As the church became more institutionalised, the gifts of the Spirit became less common and were seen only in the lives of the great “Saints’. Some, such as St Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) initially thought that they were meant only for the early Church, to “kick-start” her, so to speak. However, he later withdrew this opinion in his Retractions, when he himself witnessed the gifts in abundance in his own Diocese. It was apparent to him then that the gifts occurred where people had expectant faith."

The page is now only accessibly in Google cache- as the entire "evangelism" site has been closed down without any warning we can tell of.

Also this is stated in perhaps only slightly different words on the radio station, by a person interviewed. These words were not repudiated. One may use scripturelink to search on this- but the manifest fact was Augustine went to such pains to prove the gifts of the early Christians- because he had no examples to use if EWTN is to be believed.

We ourselves have countered these claims on:

http://scripturelink.googlepages.com/charismaticmovement


This said- Veritas is run by persons within the church, in this I speak of contact I have had with representation of the station- who truly seem dedicated to their tasks- even if those interviewed, or quoted are sometimes doctrinally incorrect- it is good of DSTV to host them.

What point is there in noting this- it lies in believing that what DSTV screens with their news and entertainment is the full spectrum- it is not, nor is it normal for so many films, including a recent screening "Absolution" to be played on a network without any real opposite viewpoint portrayed. It is odd that this should be permitted, and sad that DSTV has not addressed the issue so apparent- in that someone within their buying department or whatever controls their films and programs- has somehow decided to buy rights to such caliber films to screen, and to choose such channels, that it seems some groups are oddly favoured.

All of this said- I still do enjoy watching DSTV- and sadly- just as a certain and in the case of the example, though not DSTV- infamous channel- CBS chose to air Joan of Arcaidia- a clearly Catholic program, so DSTV also has Veritas- more than this it has BBC, whose news is often accurate, and many useful channels. Until a better competitor, and for that matter, one very positive toward faith, and reason- is allowed in the Market- DSTV is still has a wider selection than many.

DSTV's KTV is very well managed- and probably for quality- permit that their programs seem sometimes to be more than a decade old as long as they are suitable, or seem to be for children.

So- ultimately- the weaknesses in DSTV lie in their selection of films, and their over-emphasis on a very small minority religion's perspective in South Africa- while ignoring that of larger groups to some extent- so that this has only appeared on an Audio Channel, and maybe in a few programs on networks they air.

Social Justice South Africa- India- Genocide continues- Church encourages courage- and Godly actions- reminds Christians of Christ Crucified, and takes joy in recent canonization of an Indian Saint

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 17/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

As the Indian genocide against Christians, especially targeting Catholics- continues- the church was organizing another peaceful protest. The recent canonization of an Indian saint- is hoped to give courage and hope to the Indian Christians whose Hindu extremist enemies have so effectively, and tactically carried out a genocide against.

The church on World Missions Day, and the day of this protest, this past Sunday- was, as recorded still on the 17th planned to have asked Christians not to put out the light of Christ, but to bring the light of the gospel into their everyday lives- knowing what a great gift the scriptures, and the gospel of the Holy Roman Apostolic line truly are. They encouraged boldness and in this also- stated that the global Catholic community stands in solidarity with her persecuted brothers and sisters in India. I may note personally that the bible says- when one part suffers- all do!

It is hoped that through preaching the gospel, and the sharing of truth, and living of truth- and reason, which also must be shared- that these enemies of Christianity may be prevented in their efforts- both via preaching, and by non-violent methods, and self defense by Christians.

While many have died in India- the church there is to take hope in their master- Christ crucified- and take hope and courage- in fact this is what we all know from our ancestors is- remaining true to themselves- which entails deeply- loyalty to what they have been taught- and have found to be true- Christ Crucified, Christ Risen, Christ who is with us in the church, and present fully in the Eucharist, and in our every breath if we allow it- and Christ who will come again, resurrecting the bodies of men that judgment may occur.

Israeli leading party in Anti-Catholic media brawl

(Scripturelink Voters Guide; Catholic Watchdog South Africa; c.f. BBC World News 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

BBC is reporting that a large number of pictures combined in a montage as one- of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI have been placed, covered in symbology of Nazi Germany on a website run by supporters of Yalla Kadima, Israel's most popular political party. This follows previous attacks by Israelis on the courageous efforts of Pope Pius XII, which involved the risk of his own life to defend Jews undergoing at the time Nazi persecution, in which they said he could have "done more", some of these earlier attacks came from the first non-Christian, a Jewish speaker- ever invited to a recent Catholic Synod on the bible. Pope Pius XII is being considered for canonization.

According to the BBC- the Israeli government considers the Vatican to be "pro-Palestinian" and there are issues between Holy Mother church- and Israel such as problems with visas, as well as disagreements over taxation of church properties.

Tzipi Livni, the leader of the party some of whose supporters placed the images on a website used by activists of the party, who is trying to become Israel's prime minister- is said to have personally asked for the removal of the montage. Apparently, according to a spokesperson claiming to represent the leader of the party concerned, just before the montage was removed that is- the views expressed on the site are not an accurate reflection of the views of the party. It is odd- that when attempting to promote Jewish interests, as regards the Holocaust - that those responsible should themselves partake in the defamation of religious figures- and the propagation of negative sentiments of another's religion- especially as this is the very foundation of the Holocaust they experienced.

Other issues with Israel reported- include the wording of the "Yad Vashem" holocaust memorial- which is less than kind to Pope Pius XII, and represents a view of the World War II pope- which the Vatican cannot possibly agree with- based (The Vatican's view that is) on the actual history of what occured.

Journey in a Broken World- To die in truth- my only desire

(Journey in a Broken World)

Article by Marc Aupiais

I still remember when I decided to logically prove my entire religion- I still do- but then I was only beginning it. I showed that our every desire was proportionate, or improportionate mimicry of the mediator of our existence- Reality- that we either love and admire our Mediator, or else envy and despise it- and either admire and befriend it- or attempt to usurp it hatefully.

We often think of Reality as something misty, or indefinite- perhaps rightly so- in some cases. We cannot define it entirely without aid- often it seems a mystery- that which we know enough about- to be fascinated by.

When I pray to Dear Saint Philomena- the child Martyr- forever frozen in time in countless images, and such beauty shown in my mind, and heart- such a boldly beautiful heart, and body and soul; such youth and vigor- yet wisdom in youth, and fascination with True Beauty! When I do so- I am admitting the truth that God has honoured her, and am pleasing to him in this action.

Oddly- the more I live, believe, and manifest in truth- the more pure, the more refined, and healthy my soul feels. The truth not only sets you free- but is freedom itself- the cloud we float on, the pink and purple and blue smoke which carries us on the back of a steam train- as we amazedly realize that in morals at least- the impossible is made but easy, or oft simply viable.

I use my sorrow, and combine it with hope to clean out the faults in my very existence- within my unseen part- my conductor to God- my soul.

Somehow- truth is like breath- like cool mountain air, or snow upon my cheek. It encompasses my self in light and in hope- in protecting it I become a warrior of epic danger, not through violence- but though using the truth itself. When I hope- this warm steam, or smoke perhaps- becomes like a river, sustaining me- and pulling my heart along, and I float effortlessly down- even past rapids- always pulled beyond all enmity into greater currents of hope through truth.

Now- when I die- what do I have- I do not have my human form- my soul perhaps- but what truly do I have- the ultimate treasure I desire is not to ask God this or that- we will know these things- but rather to drink from the fountain of truth, to drown in her endless lake- her ocean- to float on her pure white wings, and speak and be nothing but truth.

When I die- my comfort is in that God is the Truth- he is our mediator, our existence- he is Truth- the frame, the bubble in which we come to be. I dearly love truth- and this is the pull within that we must always hear. Faith without reason is but superstition- it is worth less than an illusion of being. Reason without faith is hardly reason. Faith is the light by which we know the source of all things- the pregnant truth, whose imagination gave birth to the world.

And so I dive deep into the well of truth, into the lake within the well- surrounded by a high wall. I once thought these infinite steep walls but- the confines of a well, yet the closer one comes- and the more one falls from their side into the lake- and by mountains within, the more we see they are boundaries to an infinite universe- a nation beyond all and every map, a just land beyond impossibility itself, and encomapassing all who live within its grasp. The well has become a lake- fed by a small stream- which gradually becomes infinite- and I dive deep- having long since ceased to breathe- and push my way upstream always forcing my way forward. I have learned to breathe in and out truth- and air itself is not the same- nor is water- as compare the infinite living water which is truth.

Let us not aim at what is purely of benefit- nor aim at living just but inches within the border of truth- next to the waring nations nearby- except should we be assigned as a border post handler- even so- let us buy the best estate- in the very center of truth- and cover ourselves in blankets of truth, closing curtains of truth, and lying in the bed of truth- while allowing the truth to rain on the roof of our small infinite house from beyond, as we bow down to the living word- and worship our nation- the mediator of our existence- God himself whom we must adore.

Therese's parents beatified

(Journey in a Broken World; c.f. The (Philadelphia) Bulletin 20/10/2008; Zenit News service 03/07/08; Catholic News Service 19/08/08; H20News 20/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The parents of St Therese Martin of Lisieux, France- the Little flower- and a doctor of the church- have been beatified- opening the way for their canonization as saints.

The saint's youth says allot about their influence on their Holy, and Inspiring daughter- who grew up in such an environment of faith and love. She sometimes saw her parents as mean, but this was wrong of her- if some sources of this in entirety are to be believed. Her parents have apparently performed a miracle of late.

Journey in a Broken World- What we are as self, and how this affects how we continue

(Journey in a Broken World)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Reason which denies faith is faulty, is a black hole with no purpose, not a small amount of substance or meaning. Faith is a light whose light appears as a darkness of deathly silence, through which we learn to listen- and to hear in intuition and essence- the voice below the nothingness we first hear.

I was terribly disappointed when a friend of mine from outside the Divinity of Mother Church (Acts 5 chapter verse 4; Acts chapter 15; I Timothy chapter 3 verse 15)- stated that all they knew for sure would remain after death was memory of another in their hearts, and mental capacities.

Perhaps we should look deeper within this- those who concern themselves too much with their own physical life and not their soul, rarely are remembered fondly if at all. Over time- whether moments or centuries, we desecrate and decimate their poorly woven life, and strip their evil form of all colour.

The good are different- not only are they remembered by those they have affected- but also have an infinite influence- through the slight molding of those who come into contact with those they know, and for much else- always their wisdom in life is spread and grows other souls infinitely. Even the good who are defamed win out in eternity.

When we want to preserve ourself- selfishness can only make sense to one with reason and faith- we are eternal, and so care for ourselves- by being wise- and godly towards others. Those who cannot believe- must not be selfish- if they want their memory to be fondly remembered- but put on a charade- so as to be remembered as good- or have any good impacts. Evil only survives when piggy backing on some proportionate or out of proportion goodness.

I am utterly selfish- and utterly selfless all at once- this is what it is to be part of God's body. I am so selfish that my selfishness extends to the care of others- that seeing their similarity in their humanity to my own self- I determine to care also for all others who seek after Reality.

Selfishness is equivalent in some ways to insanity- true care for self is care firstly to that closest to our self- God, and then care of our fellows in descending order of importance- as accords their similarity to Reality- to the mediator of our existence- God.

Those who believe there is not more- are those who do not sense the intuitive undercurrent- in the veins of truth itself, who do not feel the cool desert breeze, or the harmful arctic dust against their form. These do not sense what others do- their intuition, and reason has never formed into what the saints see as a world, a fantastic wonderment beyond what the intuitively blind cannot sometimes comprehend.

Let us pray for my friend, and for all who feel so- truly- to reject the Church, the effect God has on the earth, or simply not to know of it, or find it, or to see right through it- is a sad endeavor- and those who have been crafted through circumstances so that they are not yet within the fold of our foundation of truth (I Timothy 3 chapter verse 15)- as yet have only the ghost of hope which still can doubt- as compared with the substance we experience in every mutual prayer, when peace conquers us, and truth caresses us, kissing the very bends of our seen and unseen form with the feel of grace- swirling, and roaring around our cocoon of self.

Truly- to survive in eternity- we all must become utterly selfish- extending the self within us firstly to our life- which is reliance on God himself, and secondly in order to all other life- for what is alive has at least one attribute of God- life itself- and so we must treat all with justice- knowing that justice is the true form of love, and love is the true form of justice, which both are described often as mercy, or powers.

The Substance of true beauty

(Journey in a Broken World)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Sometimes when one is in a place- one senses a presence, whether it is other people, who soon show themselves, or animals- or something one truly does not have an explanation for from experience, but which our soul and body says is there.

Now intuition has many forms, sometimes it is memory, sometimes our senses knowing something too complex to explain in individual thoughts, and sometimes it is something deep within the essences of our nature telling us something.

When praying- Catholics have been known to feel the tugging of intuitive truth, and this is often how we explain the answering of prayers. The more we delve into the intuition, and trust it- the more our form is encouraged to perfect this sense.

Now, whether the culmination of past experience, or else seeing pictures or images which should be there, but are not, or perhaps the results of memory, or any other thing, I have had such interesting experiences before- and will tell of the result of them. No, it is not seeing things, but sensing things that we speak of- knowing as though from expirience- even when we do not know from the physical.

To me Saint Philomena is not the image we often associate with her- that of beautiful images of the young beautiful girl. She may well physically have this form- but when I pray- images enter my mind- once I saw her as nothing but blood, with but a bit of flesh or bone floating within it- and it scared me, another time a image entered myself, of an old lady- with gray hair- longer than time itself, looking down on me like an old seer. My thought of this image within- was firstly lowly, fearful and humble, but understanding surprise, and secondly a realization of true beauty- in her aged form was a softer beauty than in her powerful youth- the beauty of one who exists- despite all in opposition- the beauty of a soul who will forever fulfill her purpose- the beauty of one in true happiness.

What is the source of these intuitive thoughts- to me it matters, but to Mother church- all that matters is that they are free from moral and doctrinal error. I don't know if they would say that of this or not- I do know that to me beauty is that which is what it is designed to be- that which is perfect and natural- where the limited, though oft seeming dynamic, simplicity of the borders of what is natural is what is moral!

The true emotions, and feelings- to understand is to be able to control

(Chastity South Africa)

Article by Marc Aupiais

When we are brought under the waves of sin, and feel them eat away at the breach like cold, deathly acid- we truly must know that our control of our self, and self awareness, and comprehension are intimately connected, like two souls destined to be one, yet living chastely within prayer and God.

Now the mind is not the soul, we know already that the soul is our invisible part closest to our Loving source- Life, whose being, perfection and essence, we call God.

The mind is the body- moulded by her fabric- edited by evolution, or whatever manner God made us in. Original sin does not make our deepest nature evil- rather- it causes us to weaken.

When we are fighting for breath while drowning in the oceans of temptation, and feeling a tide, not our own pulling us back out to sea- so strongly that it feels as though it were our own desire- we know intuitively if at all- that we must fight the tide least we are carried out to sea- and the subtle connection between God and soul is broken as we can no longer resonate his substance with our own.

Our war is between Reality and illusion, and so the more real we are- so also the more Godly, but when we follow desires which truly are not natural, when we endorse these illusions as though they were real and ours- we commit the sin they are named after, and become less real. We possibly only become less resonating- as with venial (Latin Venia- Forgiveness) sin. When we sin mortally- the gash is deep, and causes the connection to for all intensive purposes break.

Now- when we are tempted by this ocean of sin- let us firstly define what we truly want- what natural desires are combining, and being twisted by illusion and weakness- to appear to be a desire which is not ours.

Whether the desire for happiness- which ultimately all desires are a manifestation of, or that for comfort, or that for desire.

We look at what we truly feel and aim for her purpose- we get angry- sometimes because things are not as we believe they should be, and sometimes because it is an evolutionary desire to defend our self.

We often see people who could or have hurt us as evil- this is because our body sees that which is harmful to it as ugly, or as evil- quite naturally. It is this form of judgement, as with judging based on another's wealth- something we fear for empathy- which is so dangerous.

Now, when we define what we truly feel, and why we feel this- we do not endorse the sinful desire- and never become guilty of what sin ultimately is- treating something as something it is not!

Sometimes habits are sourced in habit- but what is the trigger, is it a wrong perception, or is it because we have lied to our body through treating something as something it is not. Seeking pleasure of a sexual nature tells our body that someone is our spouse. Human beings are designed by God for lifelong marriage.

Now, there is the false argument that what animals do is what is natural for man, but this is wrong- what animals do with temporary souls- is what is beneficial to their physical form, man has an eternal (Aeviternal technically- only God is eternal) soul, and this means his self is greater than that of an animal.

Animals eat of their own kind, rabbits commit infanticide, and hippos also.

Dogs naturally seek many partners, but only when they are on heat- what is most natural for an animal is what is most beneficial to its entirety, but animals are infinitely different from man- their current souls are temporary, like their bodies are, like our bodies are.

Man is soul and body- the soul being the invisible part of the body most like God- and it is by the actions of the body that the soul, which is part of the form is effected. Man must work forward- so as to protect his self- which is body and soul. What is natural for man is that which is of benefit to him!

Now- when faced with sin- it is not sinful to say it is this or that and resist it- and fight it- for indeed- the definitions of sin are definitions of the form illusion takes- and we define it to conquer it in the confessional, but when fighting it- it is always good to show it is not our desire, but rather an illusion that we sin in ever endorsing.

Social Justice South Africa- DRC- Congo-Caritas- Appeal for 440 000 dollars- as Ugandan "Lords Resistance Army" continues human rights abuses, burning villages, and committing other attrocities

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Caritas Internationalis 16/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Caritas Internationalis is desperately asking for urgent aid of $440 000 in order to supply 4 000 people with blankets, clothes, cooking utensils, and hygiene items. The so-called "Lord's Resistance Army", based in foreign Uganda has been raping villagers, burning villages, and killing innocent civilians since September, despite a January ceasefire.

Recently- Caritas appealed for aid for 90 000 people already affected by the conflict between the government of the country, and the rebels- famous for their use of child soldiers, who are kidnapped and brainwashed.

The Ugandan based Rebels are known for their abuses of human rights- against Congolese civilians. The LRA is only one of the horrific factors which have prompted a burst in conflict, and civilian casualties over the past months.

Many of these displaced civilians- brothers and sisters of ours in their shared humanity- like many refugees, such as the Christians, currently victim to a genocide in India- are facing the dangers that nature has to offer those without basics needed for survival. Caritas Internationalis is well known for their abilities when it comes to ensuring the best use of resources. Caritas Internationalis will be using the funds to aid civilians.

Social Justice South Africa- Northern Ireland- British Culture of Death- attempting to force abortion regulations on Northern Ireland

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 17/10/08; Irish Bishops Conference 17/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The new British suggested amendments to the already controversial Embryology bill, are such, which aims at legalizing abortion until the moment of birth- has also the aim at doing the same, as is now common practice in pro-abortion Britain- to the Northern Irish citizens. Since England conquered Ireland, and has refused a withdrawal from Northern Ireland, despite years of Irish Opposition to the occupational force, there has been some degree of hostility between the Catholic Irish, and Protestant descendants of British Citizens- perhaps this latest development gives further light as to why politics and Catholicism must not be separated completely.

The problem with labeling conflicts as purely religious- lies in the fact that religion and culture saturate every aspect of culture. The Irish Bishops appose the bill- being contemplated in the British parliament- and possibly to be enforced against the Irish.

Due to the Genocide definition of the UN, and the views of the Catholic church- Catholic Irish will once again be upset with a British decision. While this bill is to be apposed- the Irish Bishops are wisely doing so with a pro-life rally, and with prayer- the only people to die from this open attempt to interfere with Irish Democracy- may well be the unborn children whose parents decide to kill them. These same Bishops apposed the efforts of the IRA, showing that their opposition to one form of killing, is not hypocrisy- as they also appose other forms of intentionally killing persons not found guilty of any crime.

Genocide, according to the United Nations is:

"Article 2

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
(Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Approved and proposed for signature and ratification or accession by
General Assembly resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948

entry into force 12 January 1951, in accordance with article XIII)

The Moon and the tides, and the effect of morality, soul and form

(Journey in a Broken World, Chastity South Africa)

Article by Marc Aupiais

When the moon rises, we watch in awe sometimes at the beauty of her reflective luminescence.

When the moon is full, or crescent, or in any part of the cycle- the tides of the blessed oceans are affected by her magnetic magic. When we look at our own effect, we must remember the moon, and how our every action indirectly affects others, and how our own glow can silently glow in the night sky, and be reflected on the waves- which hide countless creatures- some deadly, some friends of ours.

When we classify an animal as evil- we really mean that it could harm us- as people- what can harm us is inside of our evolutionary library as ugly, or as evil. What is beautiful is what seems most healthy. This is why faith saves- because a correct connection with reality- sanity as we call such- is what determines how we view our surrounds and how we also act on them.

The soul also is much like this- with God as our moon- and our soul as the magnetic field- causing the tides of sprinkling, swaying waves below to dance upon the beach, and throughout the ocean as the clock which shows us life. The body in this is the ocean- both are one phenomena- through the body- we see the magnetism of life- of our soul, yet the actions of the body are equally of this phenomena- as both are the same unit- the soul is like magnetism on the ocean of our body, and the body affects the connection the soul has with God.

Now the moon is beautiful- because it gives us light in darkness- and beauty is actually in its perfection- the measure of how useful we see something as. God therefore is utterly beautiful. When we instill morals- we are not attempting to force our morals on others- rather we acknowledge just how easily broken the connection between our body and God is, and how this connection is our soul. When we do right- the magnetism strengthens- and our unseen part which is closest to unseen God becomes a powerful channel and conduction of grace- which is in fact life, breath- into our body- so that the magnetism- the soul animates the tides, and waves- which are our seen bodies. When this connection is observed- it is so fragile and breakable- and because the magnetism is eternal, but the waves temporary-

British court lets murderer of unwilling, but sick wife off- Judge claims he can see the murderer's virtues in his actions

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 16/10/08)

Catholic Culture is reporting that a British court has let a man convicted of the murder of his sick Alzheimer's suffering wife off, based on the judge's view of his motives. The man had previously refused to allow professionals to care for her, doing so himself- and while he smothered her to death- other patients in the hospital heard her objections. The man was then convicted, but because the Judge doing sentencing believed the man had his wife's best interests in mind when murdering her- the man has not been given any jail time.

In Britain- members of the general public came out in support of the man who blew kisses at his supporters- and was upbeat prior the trial. The British "Pro-Choice" movement have long prior this legalized abortion, and are constantly pushing for more freedom in this field.

Like South Africa- the British have a government which the church would consider to promote a culture of death- such decisions by judges and support of the general public are considered by many to be examples of this culture's effect on public decisions.

Vatican- Pope- World hunger caused by greed, materialism

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic Culture 16/10/08; Catholic News Service 16/10/08; Vatican Information Service 16/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

His Excellency- Holy Father- Pope Benedict XVI has again taken a stand against materialism, and selfish market speculation, as well as against the inordinate way in which funds are spent selfishly on sophisticated military technology by many developed nations- rather than on food security. He says that these actions are a cause of the World Food Crisis. This he said to the director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, in written form.

Benedict XVI believes that materialism- which only aims at physical goods- shows a misunderstanding of the divine dignity of the human person, who was elevated to great lengths when God chose to become man.

The reckless decisions by western governments and those who vote for these persons to gain power- has a much larger effect on the poor than on western voters. The recent financial crisis for instance is estimated to cost 100 million people their livelihood- the hardest hit majority of these will be on the African continent.

Tridentine South Africa- the mysterious impact of the harder path

(Tridentine South Africa)

Article by Marc Aupiais

When scaling a mountain- or simply walking on the streets- a relatively steep slope is easier to mount than a cliff-face, and once one has been walking on this- it slowly become the norm.

The opposite occurs when one is walking slowly along, and suddenly comes across impassable terrain. Here, the untrained wisely refrain, and the trained take joy in their training.

Now, the mass trains us through rituals in intuition- so as to gain the right path to God. When the meaning of the signs is altered, so as to have no basis- not only is this "Superstition", a mortal sin, but it also takes away from any effect of the Divine Liturgy. When we make mass easier for the sake of ease, we sow in shallow ground, and the seeds here quickly find root, but also quickly die. The parishioners who are treated too softly, by church and self- often wither to dust, when faced with the cliff-face of morality. Those who enter faith knowing the cost- see the cliff-face and continue as they had- slowly mounting the impossible. Jesus himself says that conversion is impossible- before adding that this is not impossible with God.

This is why we subscribe as Orthodox Roman Catholics- to the firm belief that softening the path beyond meaning is dangerous- because we lose grace- and then what is possible to God- truly is impossible.

An argument for the Latin Liturgy, is not complete without stating that Vatican II desired and stated this was to be the norm. What we argue for here- is not simply reintroducing a wider use of the Latin mass, but also that one not fear losing persons by not watering down the faith- rather- if we water it down- they only believe they are Catholic, but never truly take root. If we enforce every rule and regulation with utmost detailed power- at least we are building a foundation- even if our beliefs are rejected.

Now, as to the Latin- firstly, it is asked of the church in Vatican II that this be the norm, and secondly- it is not a sin of the laity- should the bishops in their area, or their pope forbid this practice. Quite simply- that sin rests squarely, and only on the competent authority. This is where one must realize the errors of those who reject the Ecclesiastical authority. The actual degree is as follows, as quoted from Vatican II:

"CONSTITUTION
ON THE SACRED LITURGY
SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM
SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY
HIS HOLINESS
POPE PAUL VI
ON DECEMBER 4, 1963"
http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html


"36. 1. Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites.

2. But since the use of the mother tongue, whether in the Mass, the administration of the sacraments, or other parts of the liturgy, frequently may be of great advantage to the people, the limits of its employment may be extended. This will apply in the first place to the readings and directives, and to some of the prayers and chants, according to the regulations on this matter to be laid down separately in subsequent chapters.

3. These norms being observed, it is for the competent territorial ecclesiastical authority mentioned in Art. 22, 2, to decide whether, and to what extent, the vernacular language is to be used; their decrees are to be approved, that is, confirmed, by the Apostolic See. And, whenever it seems to be called for, this authority is to consult with bishops of neighboring regions which have the same language.

4. Translations from the Latin text into the mother tongue intended for use in the liturgy must be approved by the competent territorial ecclesiastical authority mentioned above."
http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html

Now, when the venacular is to be used- it is to be of benefit to the people- this is why the ecclesiam has allowed it largely- but where it has been caused as the only form- bishops have in fact condemned thousands to hades- in the leaving of these people from the flock, and also in many abuses, and problems with liturgy. In other words- the venacular is allowed by God where it creates fruit- but the manner in which it has been abused, and has been overused- has in fact done the opposite- it has encouraged laxity- taken away from some of the mystery- set us further apart from our Greek brothers, and further has caused a different balance in the mass, and therefore in the spirituality of Catholics- whereby vast majorities of faithful in many countries, especially in South Africa- actually fall under the excommunication, anathema, or condemnation of the church.

Now, when we allow a less defined liturgy- we allow less defined morality- and when we allow shallower public worship, we allow shallower spirituality.

When one takes effort to worship God as in the Tridentine rite- one realizes the purpose of the mass- and more than this of life- that we are worshiping and praying to God.

Agenzia Fides- Indian Anti-Christian Genocide continues

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 15/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

As the anti-Christian Genocide in India continues unabated- the Council of Churches in India, have tried to create a bill protecting minorities from discrimination. Hopefully it will pass, but this means nothing unless the Indian government finally decides to enforce minority rights, against the decimation wrought by calculated and tactical genocides, conducted by Hindu Extremists in the country- and as the Hindu party in the Indian parliament recently attacked Benedict XVI, for mentioning the genocide in his prayers for peace. The pope also prayed for the DRC, and Iraq to have peace as Christians and others are persecuted in these nations by violent and greedy oppressors.

World Bank- Financial Crisis will create 100 million new poor people- majority in Africa

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 14/10/08)

According to the President of the world bank- the First World (Developed World) Financial Crisis will force another 100 million people, majority being in Africa- into poverty. This is as analysts estimate that 607 billion dollars are hidden in foreign bank accounts, having been stolen from the African people via fraud and other activities. This is enough to pay off African nations' debts, but due to rampant corruption- the poor continue to be abused on the continent- as western nations continue to neglect forcing a raising of standards by those they trade with.

The milk crisis, and use of child labor in many Asian Nations, are a direct result of western Negligence. Africa has a very similar, unnatural situation- due to western powers refusing to solve the route causes of problems, as the Vatican also has recently asked them to do, with issues involving conflict.

Benedict XVI- Bible must be informed by Faith

(Journey in a Broken World; c.f. Catholic Culture)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Intervening in the recent Bible synod- an unusual move- Holy Father, His Excellency, Pope Benedict XVI- has requested that it be included in the final report- that when looking at the bible we must look at it while informed by faith. This comes as critical views of the bible are all the more common in the world, and as the Church is attempting to encourage the reading of the ancient manuscript.

Catholics subscribe to the view that the bible is inspired by God, but also that the bible is like a photograph sheet sampling of the Apostle's understanding of the actual word of God- Jesus Christ, and therefore consider that faith handed down to our generation as recorded in history since the apostles, tradition, to be the basis on which to understand or become familiar with the bible. Critical study has also been permitted so far as it is prudent, or for the purpose of allowing prudent and wise study- since Vatican II.

Kenya- Church asks for government to secure food for internal refugees

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 10/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Following this year's elections, which were contested by opposition as rigged, and the violence in Kenya, including accusations recently of death squads being commissioned to kill ethnic groups,the church in Kenya is asking the government to secure food for refugees and improve the economy, as they believe that many deaths from malnourishment are preventable in the many internal refugee camps.

They claim that Kenya should not be a dumping ground for unwanted goods from elsewhere.

Bible Synod- Greek Delegate speaks of the role of the pope to unite all Christians

(Journey in a Broken World ; c.f. Zenit News Service 12/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Last Saturday- Archimandrite Ignatios Sotiriadi of the Orthodox Church of Greece- said that it was the desire of many for one Holy Catholic and Apostolic church to be united in unity, and that it was the role of the pope, the "First Bishop", to be a sign of unity before all, of Christian unity and wisdom, and much else.

DRC Congo- Rebels continue to use the defense of an ethnic group as a defense, and first world woes as a cover to perpetrate their actions

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 10/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Agenzia Fides reports (10/10/08) that using the media fog over Africa, the excuse of the defense of an ethnic group, and the misdirection of the global attention to internal issues such as financial issues, and terrorism- the Congo rebels continue to wage war on their government- displacing 1.2 million people.

Unlike Sudan- countries like the DRC, and Somalia which also are facing unjust aggression, and internal conflicts from different parties against others and for their own benefit- do not receive the needed media attention to help stem the tides of these conflicts and humanitarian situations- rather- these stories are oft kept out of the media- and when they appear in it, often nothing is done to better the situations- leaving western citizens believing the situations either solved, or because of inadequate efforts in the past and present to stop these conflicts- that they will not be solved by external aid.

INDIA- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Hiduist party denounces Benedict XVI- says India is sovreign in defense of current genocide

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Catholic culture 13/10/08;Vatican Information Service 12/10/08; EWTN 13/10/08)

Artical by Marc Aupiais

The Hinduist party in India- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has decried Benedict XVI for his statements praying for peace (12/10/08) in India, saying that India is "sovereign" (13/10/08), a method often used by the American Anti-Catholic movement until and including recent times to attack Catholics. The party stated that Benedict XVI, as a foreign religious leader had no right to object about or pray for peace on the genocide occurring in India against Christians and in particular Catholics at the moment. Efforts to aid genocide are to be considered issues by which guilt is shared. What is occurring in India is genocide if we take the UN definition- and those aiding it are guilty of aiding and abetting genocide.

The Holy Father (EWTN 13/10/08)also yeasterday canonized India's first female saint- St. Alfonsa of the Immaculate Conception 1910-1946. He noted, so in line with the current genocide in India- that this saint not only lived in perpetual issues, hardships, trials, and sufferings- but believed these to be her path God-given to God's salvation.

Those committing genocide against our Christian brothers and sisters claim they are doing the work of the Hindu faith. International organizations, while noting the defamatory comments made by many of the Hindu leaders against Catholics and other Christians in recent times, also believe that the real reason for the genocide is that Christianity has been disrupting the Indian cast system, where one's lot in life is settled by the position of their parents. None of the excuses given by the Hindu nationalists can justify the thousands affected by their tactical, calculated genocide. These recent statements by a Hinduist party show just how shocking the negligence of the Indian government. Christians have accused police of standing by doing nothing, while watching these calculated assaults take place. The assaults have not been prevented by the Indian government in refugee camps- forcing many Christians to flee to the jungles, where they face, and some have realized the deadly effect of- threats from natural causes.

The people behind the ship theft tragedy!

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f. Agenzia Fides 9/10/2008)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The Ukrainian arms carrying ship stolen off the Somali coast must not ecclipse the source of the problem- that being the dire humanitarian situation in the country. This according to Agenzia Fides (09/10/2008), who note that 3 250 000 Somalis need emergency aid, and that the level in need of this is nearly double (77% greater)that of January 2008.

How we judge excathedra statements and Ecumenical Councils

(Journey in a broken world)

Article by Marc Aupiais

When the Fathers met at Nice- perhaps a third or even nearly half of the bishops of the council were condemned as heretical, the same happens in many councils of mother church- right up to and including Trent. Vatican Two is different- Vatican II, has what we call a pastoral effect. Now Vatican II was Ecumenical (Pope Paul VI, April 6th 1964, Ecclesiam Suam VI), but it was not at a time of crisis. When we talk of it- we see some bishops possibly in small schism, but no open apostasy- as with previous councils, as with the schism EWTN claims that over 100 bishops currently are in.

Now- when we look at the meaning of a council- we cannot look at either side's intent- the heretics would always front their views, the Orthodox theirs on any subject- and the council would vote. We only have the exact words. Now there is a pope declared a heretic by his replacement because he did not condemn Pelagius, so we know that when the church is silent- it does not mean this is God's intention, and should a council not mention something- or a pope not make a required Excathedra statement- this does not mean that God does not believe it needed. What comes from Excathedra statements is free from doctrinal or moral error, that does not mean it is exhaustive.

Now the pope is only infallible when he speaks as pope on issues of morals and doctrine- he can speak of doctrines and morals without being infallible- when he speaks infallibly the right procedures are adhered to.

When we speak of Vatican II, it does not replace, nor contradict any previous council or doctrine before it. It is simply another in the long line, another small piece in the jigsaw- replacing the ghost place where its unborn self rested before.

Excathedra statements therefore do not depend on the intentions of those who make them, even as these are of use when they seem unclear. They simply are free from doctrinal and moral error, with God's imprimatur, and often are utterly inspired.

Therefore there is only one spirit of Vatican II, and of any council- not the ideas of the bishops in attendance- but the very letter of what is written down- the exact words ratified by God himself. Of course, there is also the Holy Spirit, but he is not wishy washy- he is God and God is exacting.

There are councils which are not ecumenical- these often are called conferences or synods- these can include people from everywhere- but ecumenical councils are councils where all true bishops are invited to a council in union with the pope, and as one decide on issues needed- whereby their statements are confirmed by papal infallibility, and where they speak of doctrines and morals.

When the church is silent, or provides an exception that is exactly what it is, no more or less- there is no additional meaning- except what our conscience tells us, out of what was known in the very beginning- or out of what correlates with it.

Agenzia Fides- Humanitarian situation in DRC continues to worsen

(Social Justice South Africa; c.f.
Agenzia Fides 09/10/08)

Article by Marc Aupiais

The situation in North Kivu DRC, continues to worsen each day- and humanitarian organizations, including Caritas Internationalis are continuing to try to aid with the limited funds they have.

Often- to even get to refugees, one must enter the country by a dangerous route from from neighboring Rwanda. The aid of many is left directly to missionaries and the church, as many issues continue to prevent any real relief from the civil war in the country, and from its effects.

It is confirmed on the ground that many people in affected areas also
have dangerous health conditions.

A positive aspect- is that some children are being taught in schools again!

Chastity South Africa- You are your body!

(Chastity South Africa)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Theologically- we are fully body and fully soul. The soul is the life, the body that which is given life by the soul. Before conception we have souls, life much like the animals do- temperal, not eternal- but at conception we are made permanent- aeviternal is the better word. Biblically- the soul is often used to denote the body and soul- the self of a man!

For now- our bodies are temperal- because if they were aeviternal- we would not be able to return to God. The body of a man is the only thing apart from the spiritual which can influence his soul. We cannot be saved or condemned apart from the actings of our own body. At birth- we are weakened by the lack of grace known as original sin- this is why the fear exists of many souls going straight to hell- however- in addition to our physical actions, and physical thoughts- is what we are planning to do, or would do given the chance- and this too has a ghostly effect on our lives, on our souls.

Life is more complex than many think it is- God for instance is pure Life. That means life is more than pure animation. The word animation in fact comes from the Latin word for soul- anima. We say rather- the soul and the life of a being are one thing.

When we speak of the form of one's body- we speak of something which is also utterly connected with the soul. The human person is designed that way- we interact with the world with our bodies- and are as much our body as we are our soul.

When we feel we cannot control the weakness of our body, we are lying to ourselves. Our body is ourself- we are perfectly in control when we sin. It does not make it harder or easier, but so far as we know what we are doing, know it is wrong, and are awake enough to comprehend, and alter our actions- we are responsible for our actions.

When the body has a desire- this desire is entered into with our entire self to some degree. When our desires of evil exist- we know this is purely the twisting of desires once good- but no longer so. Like the Orcs in Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings, who were once elves, and wondrous- evil is not the opposite of good- but the mutation of it- so that it is no longer as it is.

When our body has a desire- when our mind or emotions desire something- we must ask of the source of it- if the source is the same as the desire, and it is good- perhaps we have found the source- otherwise- when a desire is evil- the body does not desire something evil- even as the mind might be disposed by our past, or weakness to believe that it desires evil. It rather- either continues old habits, or believes lies we have told it, or tells us something we misunderstand, or take too heavily.

When we desire to do evil- we must view the good which has been twisted, and maligned into this desire- we must endorse this good, and focus on our breathing, and on the good- and purposely manifest the good desire apart from the evil we have been deluded into thinking is our body's desire, and push the evil desire away- be enlarging the good- and by prayer, sacraments- and the purpose of good.

Desires, and actions are not the same thing. To endorse a desire however is an action, and to fight one also is. To have an evil desire is only sin- if we do not immediately try to combat it when we realize what is happening in some valid extent. Not every desire should be acted on- for instance- the body might desire more food - having already eaten- but this is because we have lied to it, by eating too much in the past, or simply the natural desire to preserve the body's life. All desires should be dealt with in right proportion, some followed, some avoided.

When we next are tempted to sin- we must realize, we are not purely spiritual, we are also physical- otherwise we could not be judged on physical actions we take.

Commentary- The Position of the Soul and the Body

(Journey in a Broken World)

Commentary by Marc Aupiais

Some time ago- and many times- i have seen some cleverly worded phrases used by opponents of the Aquinasian view of Soul and Body. Aquinas is a saint, an important role player in the foundation of Psychological thought, was canonized a saint by Rome, and is declared a doctor of the church. This basically means he is an authority in the Roman Apostolic Catholic Faith.

His views on the soul are foundational to Roman Catholic morality, and theology. They are to be believed by Roman Catholics, based on his high authority. Because of this- those who front a separate view on soul and body than his- either mean it within his context, or are not catholic, or are ignorant of the meaning of the both sacramental and creedal positions of Rome.

Aquinas said that the soul and the body are one complete unit- yes the current body is temperal, and the soul aeviternal (can never disappear may be a good substitute in the limited sense I now am explaining, even as aeviternity cannot be defined as that, and as the actual concept is vital to Catholic Sacramental Salvation theology), but one is not purely soul or body but both.

Now, the other day, I once again saw a poster fronting the evangelical's viewpoints based on, and not the entirety of C.S. Lewis's apparent statement.

it said "You don't have a soul, you are a soul" and then stated that one was not a body, but simply had one.

C.S. Lewis- was probably trying to reiterate the importance of the spiritual- and I doubt he was attacking the body- nor do we deny that C.S. Lewis has great joy in playing the Devil's Advocate, nor can we say based in the viewpoints and complexity of Catholic Theology- that he was not technically what Rome calls a material heretic, and material schismatic- no matter how much we enjoy many of his proofs of some our own viewpoints. Unfortunately- the way in which this was placed up on the poster- was in a manner that gave none of the context, nor the way in which C.S. Lewis then explains and clarifies his thought patterns.

The reason we say we are fully body and fully soul- is the same reason we say Jesus is fully human and fully God- not that I am saying that his soul was God and his body human- no- he was fully both- his body as much God as his soul. Now, man also is fully soul and fully body. To deny the soul of a man is to condemn him to hades. This is to ignore the effect one's actions have on the soul- whether healing it- or shredding it- so as to prevent us surviving in a healthy state after death, and even on earth.

To ignore a man's body is to condemn one's own self to hell. To ignore one's body is to ignore their dignity as a person. Our body saves or condemns the souls of men, and ourself- in its uniquely individual actions, what is physical and what is spiritual, as we know from the ancestors- and the saints- is intricately connected.

As I said- I believe C.S. Lewis was misquoted. I personally read Mere Christianity, which my research said this came from- and he certainly did not seem to be excluding the importance of the physical in this book- the problem with this catch phrase being set up alone- is that you are not only fully a soul, but fully a body. You are not purely spiritual- but also physical. Jesus rose physically from death, Enoch, Elijah, and Mary are recorded as physically being risen into heaven. We are supposedly to be physically resurrected after death. Now- our self is our body and soul- and I believe C.S. Lewis- over fifty years ago- was referring not to some spiritual ideal of the Fundamentalists- whom he had nothing to do with- but rather to the belief that what happens to the soul is more important that what happens to the body. What is temperal can be fixed, and restored, even replaced. Unlike animals- humans do not have temperal souls. If we mess up while still in time, before Aeviternity- then our mold sticks as it is. Animals can be endowed with new souls- mankind cannot.

And so I repeat my response- in defense of two thousand years of history, and oneness in faith. Something C.S. Lewis himself might do were he alive, and seeing what has occured in many Christian circles in this era- and the way in which people are not taught independent thought, nor true logic.

I say once more, and with utter clarity:

To ignore a man's soul is to condemn him, to ignore his body- is more than just often often to condemn yourself. For self is one's soul and body as one- both are part of self, but neither are independent in our existing. The soul is always, and almost solely influenced by what the body does, and what is done to it. By your body, and your mind- your soul, your life- is gained or destroyed. Let us not use catch phrases for their ease in repeating rather- let us decimate false opinion with the truth.

By the body- the soul is condemned
By the soul- the body has life
By the acting of God, we are saved by the actings of our body
For the soul and body- we are one person within

To ignore the soul is to condemn others to hell
To Ignore the body is to condemn ourselves to hell

In the blood is the life, the Ancient Church, though not the modern church forbid eating blood

We must remember always the meaning of that command which has not passed with its manifestation, mother church still holds for the respect-

Respect the body as the interface to the soul- as a part of a person, even repect the body of an animal- for once it was alive!

Respect the soul too- inseparable in this life from the body- by it we are animated- we have life.
