"Jehovah is not God's name, that word is the result of an error made by a 13th - century Catholic monk --
-- and Catholics are perceived as particularly misguided by JWs.."
Snippets from Joel S. Peters' article Ten Key Beliefs of the Watch Tower Society. In the Catholic Answers Magazine. November - December 2011 edition.
"Jehovah is not God's name, and in a twist of irony, that word is the result of an error made by a 13th - century Catholic monk -- and Catholics are perceived as particularly misguided by JWs.
"In the Hebrew language, God's name as revealed to Moses is rendered as YHWH -- or Yahweh, meaning I AM.
"Ancient Hebrew was a consonantal language (no vowels).
"Out of reverence for God, faithful Jews would not even speak his name, so when YHWH was written in the biblical scrolls, the scribes would write the markings for the vowel sounds a - o - a for the word adonai (Lord) directly over YHWH so that anyone reading the scroll would know to say adonai rather than Yahweh.
"Along comes our monk who, seeing the vowel markings over YHWH, thought they were part of the actual spelling of God's name and thus combined YHWH with a - o - a, making YaHoWaH, which eventually became Jehovah.
"So every time JWs insist on the[ir] use of God's name, they are actually promoting a corrupted form of it..."
Interesting, huh??!! :)

Ms. Amy Willis of The Telegraph, rips the cover off yet another U.K. Sex - abuse scandal!
"Vatican orders inquiry into child abuse claims at UK schools"
Snippets from the original posted 2:11 PM BST 25 Oct 2011.
"The Pope has ordered an unprecedented inquiry into alleged child sex abuse by senior clerics at a Roman Catholic school in Ealing, west London.
"The top - level inquiry was ordered following investigations by the The Times newspaper, exposing four decades of sex abuse by monks and lay teachers at Ealing Abbey and St. Benedict's Independent School.
"The newspaper claims led to devil in a dog collar Father David Pearce, the former headmaster of St. Benedict's School, being jailed in 2009 for indecently assaulting five young boys.
"Father Pearce, who also served as a priest at Ealing Abbey, admitted to carrying out the attacks between 1972 and 2007.
"Other attacks by monks at St. Benedicts and other Roman Catholic schools are thought to date back to the 1960s.
"Another monk, Father Laurence Soper, who was the former Abbot of Ealing Abbey, is currently being hunted by police after jumping bail.
"He disappeared earlier this month from the headquarters of the Benedictine Order in Rome.
"However, an apostolic visitation at Ealing Abbey was today ordered by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome over concerns that the scale of the scandal is much greater than initially feared... "

"Americans not cutting it as farm laborers"
"Often, they don't show back up to do the difficult, low - paying tasks."
Snippets from the original article by Jay Reeve and Alicia A. Caldwell. Associated Press. The San Antonio EXPRESS - NEWS. Friday, October 21, 2011.
"ONEONTA, Alabama -- Potato farmer Keith Smith saw most of his Hispanic employees leave after this state's tough immigration law took effect, so he hired Americans.
"It hasn't worked out.
"The Americans show up late, work slower than seasoned farm hands and are ready to call it a day after lunch or by mid-afternoon.
"Some quit after a single day.
"In Alabama and other parts of the country, farmers must look beyond the nation's borders for labor because many Americans don't want the backbreaking, low - paying jobs immigrants are willing to take.
"Politicians who support the law say that over time, more unemployed Americans will fill these jobs.
"They consider it too early to consider the law a failure, yet numbers from the governor's office only nominal interest.
Farmer Keith "Smith said I've had people calling me wanting to to work. I haven't turned any of them down, but they're not any good. It's hard work, they just don't work like the Hispanics with experience.
"Alabama passed its law in June and it was immediately challenged by the Obama administration as it has been in other states.
"Unlike those states' measures, Alabama's law was left largely in place while challenges played out in court, frightening Hispanics and driving them away...
"Governor Robert Bentley, a Republican who signed the law, started a program last week to help businesses, particularly farmers, make up for the lost labor.
"So far, about 260 people interested in temporary agricultural jobs have signed up.
"About three dozen of them have been hired, said Tara Hutchison, a spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations.
"She didn't know whether any had quit...
"A crew of four Hispanics can earn about $150 each by picking 250 to 300 boxes of tomatoes in day, said Jerry Spencer of Grow Alabama.
"A crew of 25 Americans recently picked 200 boxes -- giving them each $24 for the day..."

"At the same time, he worked as a dishwasher at the Greyhound bus station.
"In the South in the 1940s, a black knew that it was most unwise to talk back to his boss, so when insulted Penniman masked his anger with the nonsense response Wop Bop a Loo Bop a Lop Bam Boom..."

"Angola: bishop speaks of witchcraft's challenge"
Snippet from www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/October 20, 2011.
"An Angolan bishop has told the Fides news agency that witchcraft is one of the major challenges he faces in his ministry.
"[S]aid Bishop António Francisco Jaca of Caxito, which is located in the northwestern part of the nation, Among our pastoral challenges is the material and spiritual poverty of the population ..."
The good bishop now elaborates:
"As regards to the first, the territory of the diocese is largely rural, and the population lives on subsistence farming.
"As regards to the second, the challenge is witchcraft and the spread of sects.
"Witchcraft is a cultural phenomenon that concerns the entire Country, and in Caxito is largely practiced just like [in] other parts of Angola.''
And to conclude:
"Bishop Jaca also spoke of the growing Chinese and Muslim influence in the southwest African nation, where life expectancy is under 40.
Numbers crunching: "55.5% of Angola's 15.9 million people are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics..."

"As Don't Ask, Don't Tell ended on September 20, uncertainty remained among chaplains to U.S. armed services.
"The military's official position is that the repeal of D.A.D.T. will leave chaplains' activities essentially unchanged.
"According to a Defense Department statement: Chaplains will continue to have freedom to practice their religion according to the tenet of their faith. Chaplains are not required to take actions that are inconsistent with their religious counseling ... or modifying forms of prayer or worship.
"But some chaplains are not so sure.
"A group of veteran chaplains from various denominations is urging Congress to pass protections for chaplains.
"They fear that after the repeal, chaplains from faiths morally opposed to homosexual behavior will be marginalized and even punished for being true to their faith ..."

"Paul was a unique case in every sense of the word: he did not need, nor did he seek out, the laying on of hands or anointing of oil to make his calling valid.
"God used him to reveal that the Gentiles too were included in the salvific work of Christ.
"Paul sought out Peter and the apostles to gain their acceptance in order to assure the Galatians and Corinthians of his calling.
"This resulted in his receiving the right hand of fellowship.
"Paul then had the weight of the authority of the Apostles to preach, found churches, and appoint other overseers, and this became an ecclesial paradigm in the ensuing centuries to our day ..."

"A local connection with St. Pius X -- The First Polish Pope"
Snippet from Carol Baas Sowa's fascinating article in Today's Catholic. Friday, October 7, 2011.
"SAN ANTONIO -- Patricia Szalwinski recalls the big buzz made in the media when it was discovered that Pope John Paul II had a cousin living in America.
"To her and other members of the Krawietz family in South Texas, it was no big deal.
"After all, there were hundreds of Krawietzs here and they were related to a pope too -- the first Polish pope, St. Pius X.
"As a grade school student in Falls City, Szalwinski whose paternal grandmother was a Krawietz, remembers all the commotion that was made when her Aunt Gladys Szalwinski Collins traveled to Rome for the canonization of Pope Pius X on May 29, 1954, because she was related to him.
"It was as Giovanni Sarto that Jan Krawiec began a new life in Italy, first in Godero, near Treviso, and finally in Riese where he delivered the town mail.
"Three sons were born to Sarto and his wife: Giuseppe, Marco and Angelo.
"Giuseppe's younger brother, Angelo, remained in Italy, where his great - grandson, Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, became Pope Pius X, rising from humble beginnings as a country curate and village pastor to the throne of St. Peter...
"With Giuseppe Sarto ascending to the papacy as Pope Pius X, a frantic and very thorough cover - up began, according to Szalwinski's research, in a political effort to wipe out any semblance of Polish glory, leading to the destruction or changing of all records involving the Krawiec connection ...
"None - the less, the relationship between Pope Pius X and his Polish Texas relatives did surface in time for his beatification and canonization allowing U.S. family members to bask in the glow of his sainthood..."

"[T]he one thing that remains consistent is the Pope's theological teaching that the true lamb present at the Last Supper,
whether there was a cooked junior member of the sheep family there or not, was Jesus Himself ..."
Yea! Baptists! Go Baylor U.! :)
Snippet from Foley's original in the Latin Mass magazine Summer 2011 issue.
"Dating the Last Supper
"One of the interesting features about Pope Benedict's own combination of theology and historical criticism is its ability to remain stable in the former even when the latter shifts beneath his feet.
"For example, the apparent contradiction on the dating of the Last Supper has puzzled exegetes for centuries.
"The synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) claim that in the year that Jesus was crucified the Passover fell on a Thursday and that the Last Supper took place during the Passover meal.
"Saint John's Gospel, on the other hand, states that the Passover began Friday evening, and hence the Last Supper could not have taken place during the Passover meal.
"Indeed, with John's dating, the lambs for the Passover meal were being slaughtered in the Temple at the very moment Jesus died on the Cross.
"In both explanations, the one thing that that remains consistent is the Pope's theological teaching that the true lamb present at the Last Supper, whether there was a cooked junior member of the sheep there or not, was Jesus Himself.
"As the Lamb of God whole body was the true Temple (Jn 2:19), Jesus did not need to rely on any calendar; and because He knew He was going to die, the Last Supper was truly the beginning of His Passover into death and new life and thus was a true Passover meal, the truest of them all ..."

"A. The short answer is -- we don't know.
"While the Church has definitively stated that the saints and the blesseds are in heaven with God forever, the Church has never definitely proclaimed anyone to be in hell -- not even Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ.
"We must leave the final judgment of each soul to God.
"In a general audience on Oct. 18, 2006, Pope Benedict reflected on the fate of Judas which is a mystery.
"The Pope states, Even though [Judas] went to hang himself (cf. Mt 27:5), it is not up to us to judge his gesture, substituting ourselves for the infinitely merciful and just God ..."

"On June 22, Hugh Owen, director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, spoke at the Washington TFP Bureau located in McLean, Va.
"Two of the many examples Mr. Owen used to debunk evolution are butterflies and hummingbirds.
"To form a butterfly, the caterpillar must first dissolve all of its organs while in its cocoon.
"How could a gradual slight successive evolution change the caterpillar overtime?
"All the genetic information for the metamorphosis must have been placed in the caterpillars from the beginning.
"Meanwhile, hummingbirds rely on their ability to hover in mid - air by rapidly flapping their wings 80 times per second, approximately 10 times faster than any helicopter's main rotor.
"Like the transformation of the caterpillar, the hummingbird's marvel of aerodynamics is clearly the result of an intelligent design.
"Mr. Owen is the convert son of Sir David Owen, a former secretary general of International Planned Parenthood Foundation.
