Duggar cult founder plans Kansas 'retreat' to set up arranged marriages for teen girls
Vyckie Garrison
Wanna hear a true American horror story?
A group of ultra-conservative Christian men are planning to meet up in Kansas later this year to arrange marriages for their pubescent daughters … and they don't believe their daughters' consent is actually necessary.
Quiverfull patriarch, Vaughn Ohlman, who runs a website promoting early, "fruitful" marriage for Truly True Christian™ children, has announced plans for a "Get Them Married!" retreat where fundamentalist fathers will find, and TAKE, suitably submissive young brides to bear many babies for their adolescent sons.
The weekend retreat, which will be held in Wichita this coming November, is "designed to bring together like-minded families (and their unmarried young men and women) who are committed to young, fruitful marriage and to help them overcome the barriers which have kept their children unmarried."
RELATED: Salvation Army bans Duggar cult's 'retreat' that promoted arranged marriages for teen girls
For around $1200 per family, Quiverfull parents will spend three days "networking" with similarly-delusional zealots who believe men are to be in charge, wives are to be submissive baby-makers, and children are to be sheltered, isolated, indoctrinated, and pushed toward early, prolific marriages for Jesus.
How early? According to Ohlman, young men and women should get married as soon as possible:
When do boys become men and girls become women? When are their bodies developed enough to have children? When do they begin to develop romantic interest in the opposite sex, and when does fornication begin to become an issue? The Bible provides many reasons for marriage, and most if not all of them demonstrate that marriage typically ought to happen in the youth (as in, before the age of 20).
In case you're inclined to doubt these freaks actually mean to marry off their girls the minute their bodies have developed enough to have children, Ohlman elaborates, so make no mistake about it:
John Calvin defines the "flower of her age" (1 Corinthians 7:36) as "from twelve to twenty years of age". Likewise, John Gill defines it as "one of twelve years and a half old". And Martin Luther says, "A young man should marry at the age of twenty at the latest, a young woman at fifteen to eighteen…" We do not endorse marriage at ages as young as twelve. Our position is that, for a woman:
The 'youth' ready for marriage has breasts. A woman who is to be married is one who has breasts; breasts which signal her readiness for marriage, and breasts who promise enjoyment for her husband. (We believe that 'breasts' here stand as a symbol for all forms of full secondary sexual characteristics.)
The 'youth' ready for marriage is ready to bear children. Unlike modern society Scripture sees the woman as a bearer, nurser, and raiser of children. The 'young woman' is the woman whose body is physically ready for these things, physically mature enough to handle them without damage.
The 'youth' ready for marriage is one who is ready for sexual intercourse sexually and emotionally. Her desire is for her husband, and she is ready to rejoice in him physically.
I know what you're thinking … "Those sick bastards!" Right?!!
Why do they want to rush their kids into marriage and coerce them to start having babies ASAP?
[W]e know from scientific studies (as well as first-hand knowledge, in many cases) that the fertility of women (and even men, to some extent) goes down steadily after the age of 20, and dips even more sharply after 30 and 40. This is even more the case if a woman has reached such an age without having had any children yet. So, by reason of these facts, it is clear that it is best to marry much earlier than 30 to better fulfill the command to be "fruitful and multiply".
Try not to lose your lunch, cuz it gets worse. These deranged "men" don't actually care about their daughters' consent:
Scripture speaks of the father of the son "taking a wife" for his son, and the father of the bride "giving" her to her husband…. It gives example after example of young women being given to young men, without the young woman even being consulted, and often, in some of the most Godly marriages in Scripture, the young man is not consulted….
Some use the idea of "consent" to deny the very relevance of the action of their authorities to bind them in covenant, as if a covenant was of no effect whatsoever and all that matters is what the person themselves decide. Others consider a covenant to be something substantial but that it is not really binding until the person themselves "consents".
In contrast, our study of Scripture has shown that the Word of God considers a covenant made by an authority to be meaningful and binding upon the those under his or her authority. Biblical consent is not the "consent" of dating or courtship. It is not a "veto" power. It does not presume to cast judgment over their father's actions. And so, a lack of consent of the individual concerned is a choice of disobedience, a breach of a vow and of a relationship. God has designed the marriage relationship (in particular that of the virgin daughter marrying the virgin son) to be a relationship initiated by the parents, in particular the fathers, of the young couple. This is the example that God uses constantly in Scripture, and even where an example strays from this, these principles are still kept in focus.
Goddamn, these sick, delusional f*ckers … some of these patriarchs go so far as to expect to "Get Them Married!" via Ohlman's retreat for profit:
Bride price: What is it, and why is it important? Wouldn't a bride price be like selling your daughter? A "bride price" is anything paid or given by the man or his representative at the time of his betrothal or receiving his bride.
Scripture certainly teaches about it, but it is not mandated, however, except in the case of a couple of laws. The law concerning bride price (Exodus 22:16-17) indicates that part of the punishment for fornication with an unbetrothed woman is the payment of a "standard" bride price for virgins, indicating that the bride price was a normal part of the marriage process.
The bride price plays a significant function: It shows the woman's value, and the point isn't that the father gets the money but that he keeps it for his daughter, if her husband should ever abandon her
Yeah right, Daddy's gonna save the money just in case … uh huh.
Heard enough? Seriously, this is the sort of what-the-fuck True Believers™ in the Quiverfull world consider "godly" and "biblical." It's sick and it's scary and it's all the more disheartening when you realize that the patriarchs take it all very, very seriously and foist this nonsense on their children … actual young women and men whose "choice" is to obediently honor their fathers, or else face the wrath of God and the hordes of Hell for daring to believe that their lives are their own to do with as they please.

Morning Joe panel brutally dismantles Lindsey Graham for doubling down and backing Trump's extreme racism
Travis Gettys
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was left speechless by Sen. Lindsey Graham's impassioned defense of President Donald Trump's racist attacks on four Democratic congresswomen.
The "Morning Joe" host sat in stunned silence after rolling video of the South Carolina Republican defending Trump's tweets, and doubling down by hurling his own slurs against the first-year lawmakers.
"You call Americans in Congress communists?" Scarborough said, after gathering his thoughts, "and you say they hate America? And then your punch line to that is aim higher?"
Scarborough, who served alongside Graham as a Republican congressman, said the episode was a shameful new low for the veteran lawmaker.

Last chance for impeachment: Next week Robert Mueller will shape history — but how?
Bill Curry, Salon
When Robert Mueller comes to Congress next week to field questions — "answer" is too optimistic — about what he learned in his investigation of Russia and Donald Trump, it'll be his and our last chance to get it right; to inform the American people of the enormity of Trump's offenses and our sacred duty to impeach him. If he doesn't want to, or can't be made to, we may all say, in unison with Mitch McConnell, "case closed" as all hope of impeachment will have died.
It seemed as if our chance had passed; that due to the misfeasance of Robert Mueller and some Democrats, impeachment was all but dead. Trump's latest racist tantrum — his noxious series of tweets directed at four progressive Democratic congresswomen — revived it simply by reminding Congress that he is morally unfit to be president of the United States. He is the greatest proved liar in the history of American public life. He runs the most corrupt administration in the history of the American presidency. He helped rig one election and now invites the rigging of another. He not only admits to being a serial sexual predator, but brags about it. But all that we knew.

The election of Jorge Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, was somewhat of a surprise, although it should not have been, because he seems to have been the runner-up in the last papal election,, coming in second after Ratzinger.
A few thoughts:
From all reports he is dedicated to the poor and leads a simple, austere life. He wants to seek out the most wounded and despised members of society. He is fiercely orthodox in his denunciations of abortion and gay marriage.
His record as Jesuit superior during Argentina's dirty war has been questioned. Leftist terrorism in the1970s was designed to provoke a crack-down which would provoke a revolution. The leftists got the crackdown, but not the revolution, and the military executed 30,000 victims. Bergoglio remained publicly silent, although he seems to have helped some victims.
What can one infer about his character from this public silence? It is hard to say. He may have had trouble understanding what was going on and uncertain about how to proceed. I think one can say that he does not seek out confrontation, even when provoked.
What does all this mean for the church?
His embrace of the despised may include abusers and enablers of abusers in the Church; he just visited Cardinal Law.
He may ignore the Curia and concentrate on the horrendous problems of the Catholic poor. The typical Catholic, we forget, is a South American or African peasant. These people face starvation, oppression, disease, and grinding poverty. If he concentrates on these problems he will be praised, and he may ignore sexual abuse and the corruption in the Church administration that has enabled it, viewing it as a minor problem compared to what the poor are suffering throughout the world.
That may have been the intention of the Italian cardinals, who are happy with the way the Curia functions and thinks that all the fuss about sexual abuse is Anglo-American Puritanism.
« The Index of Forbidden Blogs	» Dives and Lazarus
Stephen E Dalton
I hope PFI pays attention to both the poor and the perverts. If he neglects the perv problem, the poor will suffer, because the perverts, in the long run, won't give a damn about the poor. See EZ. 16:49 to understand what I'm saying.
Father Michael Koenig
Leon, I think Pope Francis's aim was to visit the famous icon Our Lady Protectress of Rome. That cardinal Law was there and presented himself was an unfortunate consequence of his having been assigned to church containing the icon by JP II.
From what I've read, Pope Francis is an advocate for all the weak, I can only hope he'll see that as including victims of clerical abuse. I'm hopefull.
Tony de New York
Mr. Podles, i think u been 2 harsh on him.
This is what he think the about the sexual abuse in the church.
"I think that is the solution that was once proposed in the United States; of switching them to other parishes," he says. "That is stupid, because the priest continues to carry the problem in his backpack." The only answer to the problem, he adds, is zero tolerance

"Who is Jorge Mario Bergoglio?"
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/marielena/130316
Someone just sent me a copy of the Moynihan Report.in it he praises Pope Francis for his devotion to Mary.I responded thusly,
Just so you know Moynihan's opine means nothing.to me. I live in a Diocese where there is a clique of homosexual priests connected also to two other Diocese nearby. They rule!
Years ago they developed a huge following by jumping onto the visionary phenomena that started with Medjugorje. They all were said to have joined the Marian Movement of Priests and so many did rosaries in the homes of lay people who had regular rosary meets and cenacles.
Later, they attached themselves to homeschool groups and made themselves available for home visits and Masses for same, introducing so many families to the Legion and Regnum Christi.
What annoyed me most was that these active clerical perverts wrapped themselves in the guise of "If a priest is devoted to Mary ,he must be a good priest!" That notion was passed around like popcorn amongst friends at a movie theatre! Now they are onto being known as devotees of the Traditional Latin Mass! Yet they still have their significant "partners" and even have been known to attempt to groom certain altar servers.
I know this sounds like gossip but too bad for the feathers because the dung stinks to high heaven ! Sincere Catholics who worked for these priests or have gone for Spiritual Direction to them have been connecting and trying to figure out exactly what to do about them after the truth has been made clear . When they speak with the few decent priests they hang their heads in shame and turn red in the face.They know too !Sadly, when lay people discover the truth they just leave.There is not much one can do because these priests have carefully polished this veneer of holiness that serves to shield them from attack even from the parent's of altar boys who dare to complain .
Knowing what I know ,I often PRAY that the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost will avenge these travesties and lies against the Most Favored Daughter , Birthgiver and Most Chaste Spouse of the Trinity, Our Holy Mother !
As far as Pope Francis 1 is concerned, I ask, how will the Bishop of Rome ,as he calls himself , clean out the filth here ?
I know now he cannot. Only God can really bring them to their knees.
A now officially debunked report was that he told Law to get out and never return to Mary Major, and that he wanted him in a monastery. I hope it was really true – if so, his first official act was an exorcism of a church clouded by perfidy. Marc Oullette, head and co-member of the Cong. of Bishops, is bragging today in an interview in his lovely Roman pied-à-terre, that he spoke to him for 2 minutes in the intro line about something important. Oullette is a Sulpician, the historical and current center of the high identity of priesthood. Although some Sulpicians have soundly criticized their tradition, his rhetoric has been high in the past. Let's hope Francis will not rely on his pals to clean up the mess before checking his pals out first. Being that he generally has steered clear of visiting Rome, he has some catching up to do. He did take off his stole after the blessing on the loggia, indicating he sees a limit on that identity. It falls to advocates like Leon to take all reasonable measures to educate the Pope on the extent of the collusion of leadership and to urge him that poverty, peace and a clean environment start with the an episcopal house cleaning, even if most of them get bounced out. BTW, A Sulpician seminarian once told me the only vow Sulpicians take is to never eat at lower than a 4-star French restaurant…
Joseph D'Hippolito
As a disenchanted non-Catholic, I'd like to make these points:
1. Regarding Mary's post about the Virgin Mary, too many Catholics are liable to deception as long as the Virgin's name is involved. That reflects Catholicism's egregious tendency to tranfer God's tender, compassionate, loving side to Mary.
2. I'm not sure how many of you know about the Prophecy of St. Malachy but according to that prophecy, Francis is to be the last pope. It should not surprise anybody that Francis' humility has universal appeal and that his vision is orthodox yet ecumenical. If he has any role to play as the "Last Days" reach their climax, those traits will provide the foundation for that role.
Oso Pious
In New Mexico the Pervered Arch-Shepherds and their enablers deliberately targeted and chose the poorest and most remote parishes for their experimental program of recycling pedophile priests! Soon Pope Francis will have a chance to meet our Governor, Susanna Martinez , at his up-coming Installment Mass in Rome. As a representative of New Mexico, the ground zero for recycling pedophile priests, Governor Susanna Martinez might actually have a few words to say to the new Bishop of Rome. As an alumnus of a Jesuit University, I am glad that Pope Francis is a Jesuit and that he is not a product of any minor seminary. I sincerely hope he will be the 21st Century version of someone like Martin Luther and really reform the Vatican. Viva Papa Francisco!!
Joseph D'Hippolito, comment 6 – What I – a disenchanted Catholic – know of St. Malachy I learned from a short article in the New Columbia Encyclopedia. I have heard of but not made a study of the prophecy of St. Malachy. So I ask in sincerity (I'm not being a wise guy), why would one place credence in the prophecy of St. Malachy, an Irish churchman of the 12th century?
Reid and Joseph, I place my trust in the Word made Flesh and according to the Scriptures, Faith morality and love will continue to deteriorate in the world.
When the Son of God returns will He find any Faith left in the world?
Save Us O Lord Jesus as part of Your inheritance.
OSV just included a 4-color pamphlet for solicitations by the Servants of the Paraclete. "Help the poor brothers and priests who have the same problems we all face!" Aargh
Mary, I put my trust in the Word made Flesh, as well, not in ecclesiastical institutions.
Reid, I suggest you get a book entitled, "Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here," by Tom Horn and Cris Putman. I don't endorse everything they say but they give a detailed account not only about St. Malachy's prophecy but other Catholic prophecies concerning the Church's bleak future.
Mary Ann..It figures OSV, right?
cm, I rec'd a call on the story that was debunked yesterday. The caller was very excited Pope Francis had begun the clean up and very disappointed at my skepticism concerning the story.
The Orthodox Patriarch will be at the Pope's installation Mass. This is a first since the Great Schism .
A negative for the Traditionalist mindset but interestingly significant regarding a very ancient , Orthodox Prophecy.
We had good philosophy, we had good theology, with an academic approach to good liturgy, and now we have good evangelical preaching. That's all nice. None of it will matter without good governance. Teach, Rule, Sanctify. They talk and talk.
The victims of the perverts are the poorest of the poor.
Augusta Wynn
When he mentioned he wanted to pray at Cardinal
Law's spot (with more than a few spots available to him) couldn't just one of his aides have mentioned that it was a goofy idea, sending a terrible message to clergy abuse victims and those who care about children?
Cardinal Law's reckless endangerment of children in his care and his subsequent escape to the Roman basilica brought international shame to the church.
Is Pope Francis already asleep? Or is he sending a message that hierarchal enablers are safe with him?
Joseph D'Hipplito – Thanks, I'll try to track down a copy of the book. In the meantime, let me recast my question to you — why do you, a disenchanted non-Catholic, put any stock in a prophecy from a 12th century Irish churchman?
Reid, I think the prophecy has a lot of merit. Compare its descriptions of the popes with either their lives, papal names, papal coats of arms or other information. For example, the next-to-last pope is called "The Glory of the Olive." Cdl. Ratzinger chose "Benedict" for his papal name. St. Benedict founded the Benedictine order, which includes an olive branch in its emblem.
Check it out for yourself.

Augusta, I think that Cardinal Law is the Archpriest Emeritus of St. Mary Major, one of the four main basilica churches in Rome. So Pope Francis is not really visiting Cardinal Law's Church, but a church that has had a succession of leaders probably both good and bad. In any case it does seem that JPII forgave Law for his malfeasance in Boston, but Law is a has been now.
Allow me to add to that in the strongest sense I can in print. These victims include the Faithful laity who have been subjected to the same as their pastors and Bishops and who have had to endure absentee priests for the confessionals weak and even heretical homilies and religious entertainment including liturgical dancing and folk Masses. The LAST one I was privy to was a children's Mass that included singing the Our father to the tune of "Bingo was His Name O'!
Topping it all off is the obvious shame that comes from the reaction of others who ask what religion you are and hearing ,"Oh they have a lot of problems with their clergy."The WORLD is watching Pope Francis to see what he will do.
Where was Papa Francesco?
Homosexual ceremony in a Basilica of Buenos Aires
The elegant Basilica of the Most Holy Sacrament, where perpetual adoration takes place, is one of the preferred churches in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for marriages and ceremonies of high society. On August 25, 2012, the church was the stage for a sequence of scandals.
http://www.traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/A487-BsAs-Homo.htm
My point exactly, Janice. Four basilicas, churches everywhere, and the Jesuit Pope Francis visits Law's basilica?
Is this a public display of a fratres in unum mentality?
Cardinal Law has maintained a prominent role in the church, even without a vote, in this election of Pope Francis the Jesuit.
Cardinal Bernard Law is not a Has Been to the myriad of survivors (and those who couldn't ) of his enabled pedophile priests.
Mary, are there any other sources for this story that might give more background (ie. was the archbishop informed before hand, was the priest celebrant punished, etc.)? I want orthodoxy and orthopraxis, etc. but find Tradition in Action and other Lefevrist style blogs a bit hard to stomach (that said, I like The Remnant but New Oxford Review would be my own favorite for news, commentary, etc.).
Pope John Paul II was an active chess player in Poland before becoming Pope. Now I hear that Pope Francis is a chess player who plays very thoughtful and attentive moves. The Pope just recently publicly reconciled with the President of Argentina. In chess there are "good" bishops and "bad" bishops, according to how they function in a typical game. I think homosexuals and lesbians are a part of our world and our new Pope is just going to have to accept them as Jesus would. I have friends who are gay and their time has come. As long as people respect children and do not seek to harm them, who cares whom they love as adults? Jesus had his "beloved disciple".
Thanks, Joseph. I will check it out for myself.
Agree with your comment (13), mary ann. Good governance . . . apparently a strange concept to those in the engine room of the barque of St. Peter.

Bergoglio has a history of supporting the United Religions Initiative.
The United Religions Initiative (URI) is an interfaith movement launched in 1995 by William Swing, the now-retired Episcopal Church bishop for the SF Bay Area. The URI is influenced by Theosophy, the New Age movement, and neo-Paganism. It is on the liberal/trendy edge of the broader interfaith movement, and now has (by its own claim) 571 chapters ("cooperation circles") worldwide.
This weekend, I found statements from within the URI that Bergoglio has hosted/participated in some of their activities in Argentina.
Laird Harrison, "Bay Area Catholics May Find the New Pope a Mixed Bag," KQED News Fix, March 13, 2013, http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2013/03/13/new-pope-chosen/
"Maria Crespo, an Argentine Catholic visiting San Francisco, said Cardinal Bergoglio supports women in traditional roles. "Argentina is quite a traditional country so there has not been much controversy about women's roles that I can remember," she said. "But he has given women positions of responsibility," she said. Crespo, global support coordinator for the United Religions Initiative, said she had worked directly with Bergoglio on interfaith efforts. He hosted a meeting of Crespo's group, which fosters interfaith cooperation, at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral. "He is so open and welcoming and humble at the same time," she said."
http://www.facebook.com/unitedreligionsinitiative
"In 2007, URI – represented by Bishop Swing, Maria Eugenia Crespo and CC [Cooperation Circle] members – celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first meeting in the beautiful Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Little did we know one of our esteemed participant and friend, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, would be named Pope just five years later! Felicitaciones, Papa Francis!"
There is a progression here.
Under John Paul II, the URI was primarily attractive to Catholic dissenters … but the then-Archbishop of San Francisco, William Levada, allowed his diocesan staff and newspaper to promote it without hindrance.
Under Benedict, William Levada was swiftly brought to Rome and raised to be the head of the CDF. When Levada was raised to be Cardinal, he invited some URI leaders to join in the festivities in Rome. The URI continued to spread, and attracted donations from Catholic leaders from 2004 onward. Donors acknowledged by the URI included the Archdiocese of Baltimore (2005), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (2004), Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the retired Archbishop of Washington DC (2005), and Archbishop George Niederauer, of the Archdiocese of San Francisco (2008). Fr. James Channan, who served on the URI Global Council from 2002 to 2008, received an award from the Vatican in December 2005 as a "Pioneer of Christian Muslim Dialogue in Pakistan," indicating Rome's approval of his interfaith work. This award was granted during the reign of the former pope, Benedict XVI.
Now, with Francis, we appear to have an occupant of the Chair of Peter who sponsored and participated in URI activities before coming to Rome.
It will be interesting to see whether Francis carries this friendship into the Vatican, and aligns the RCC explicitly with the URI. Or, he may offer support to the interfaith movement as a whole, without favoring the URI over other parts of this movement.
Meanwhile, the Council for a Parliament of the World Religions (CPWR), the oldest interfaith organization, has just issued two articles praising the new pope. To avoid overwhelming the combox, I am providing links to their two press releases:
http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/news/index.php/2013/03/the-parliament-of-the-worlds-religions-welcomes-pope-francis/
"The Parliament Of World Religion's Welcomes Pope Francis – Celebrating a Leader and Patron for Global Interreligious Relations"
http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/news/index.php/2013/03/pope-francis-and-interreligious-relations/
"Pope Francis and Interreligious Relations"
The CPWR has an agenda, of course. They think that Christian evangelization is contrary to the principle of equality among all religions. Check out this paper from their web site:
http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/news/index.php/2013/02/catholics-and-interreligious-relations-challenges-facing-a-new-pope/
"Catholics and Interreligious Relations: Challenges Facing a New Pope" – written by a liberal Catholic.
We are in interesting times. I will be updating my previous book about the URI (False Dawn) this year. It will, almost inevitably, include more ominous findings than I reported in 2004-2005.
The pope was going to the heart of Rome, a reminder of when Pope Gregory I led the people in procession to the same place to pray against the plague. A vision of St. Michael was seen by all. Francis had mentioned he was going to see the Blessed Mother the night before. I think he really did tell Law he should not have come and to leave, and even to get to a monastery. That may have been his first ecclesial act, maybe not planned, but also a reminder of the Lord casting out the money changers who were probably also dealing in temple boy prostitutes. Law is a very bad egg and Francis had to know how bad it looked for him to be there, and what an outrageous thing it was for him to do. That the press secretary tried to deny it is another lesson for Francis that the powers that be will keep trying to cover everything over at every turn.
Fr Michael , someone sent it on to me with the link.
I am with you regarding the first two sources for Traditional Orthodoxy and am a little gun shy of the Remnant too.
My own research into the history S American Catholicism leaves me queezy about the CIA US and Opus Dei political connections with the various Dictatoral murderous regimes. I know for a fact that there are many Hispanics who resent the Vatican's political involvment and even recall the Follieri Group bragging f0r good PR about innoculating children down there for Hep A while they monopolized the market for purchasing Church properties here. All very sad for the families whose parents and grandparents built these Churches.
That said, Papolatry is a very dangerous thing. How long has it been since we had a Pope who really took a stand against Bishops in N America who allow every aberration, liturgical and otherwise? I pray for the Pope but wonder how realistic it is to think he can turn things around in my lifetime even if he intends to.
He stated he was the Bishop of Rome and as such I think he expects the other Bishops to follow his lead for their own Diocese. This is not encouraging imho, simply because so many will continue the statu quo.
Reading Scripture the other night wherein the Apostles complained to Him that others were casting out demons in His Name. Jesus replied, "If they are not against us they are with us."
I am hopeful for the Ecumenist Movement in the Church with the Orthodox but do not feel the same about Papal attendance at Synagogues or Mosques simply because they are not "with us" in the Belief of the Divinity of Our Lord Jesus.
I am not fond of this site below either, but wonder about the trajectory of the Vatican since John Paul 2 first kised the Koran at Assisi .Is this the reason Pope Francis took his name or is it to rebuild the Church ? Is it a political globalist agenda or one that upholds the Faith for True Christian Believers?
Only time will tell.

I was disturbed to read one thing he said this morning about the Pope's job. he did not say it was to confirm his brothers in dai, to be the rock, or to use the keys. he said it was to embrace the poor.
Tradition in Action continues to bemoan the loss of the Papal Monarchy by referring to the new Pope as a 'miserabalist" who does not even wear the tradiotnal red shoes. A sign that he is on the same track as the Vatican 2 reformists.But Benedict did wear red shoes and they were made by Prada.
Considering the Documentation and testimonials given by Bella Dodd, it is well worth remembering that Cardinals are pretty much immune to punishment according to Canon Law.
It seems to me that monarchist model has created a entangeled BUREAUCRACY that makes clean up a daunting task.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/19/world/europe/pope-francis-faces-an-entrenched-curia.html?hp
…and that adorning the Papacy with the trappings of the midevil Church does not necessarily coincide with cleaning out the filth or bringing the Church back to the Traditional Faith.
Society is being told to accept aberrations in sexuality as norm .Hilary has just made a public service announcement in which she states she accepts LGBT marriages according to her faith and the "friends' she is acquainted with.
I wonder which inclusive revised Biblical text she is reading? My Bible instructs us to love our neighbor too but at the same time these neighbors may not be welcome in our Church community because they do not hold the same Belief based on Scripture.Christianity is not all inclusive because we have a FreeWill to choose to Believe the Word of God or not. I pray Pope Francis sticks with Christ……period.
There is a story that Pope Francis may send Cardinal Law back to Boston to (face the music) work atonement and healing in that Archdiocese.

There is more accusation from Argentina, this time about an alleged or convicted sexual abuser priest, Fr. Grassi.
Grassi is not in jail, but is living near the school for poor children called 'Happy Children' that he founded.
As with many CSA cases, it is difficult to get hard evidence since the heinous deeds are nearly always done in secret.

Monarchy or not, how did the American Church function without all the bureaucracy a century ago or so? I remember having read in The Undermining of the Church by Mary Ball Martinez that the Vatican put pressure on national hierarchies to create bishops' conferences. We know how those have turned out. To me it looks like a controlled demolition from the top down, where bishops' conferences are designed to be the forerunners of national or regional churches – in other words the balkanization of the Church.
Tradition in Action's too obsessed with monarchy. Was the Church ever a pure monarchy anyway? Sure, there are monarchical influences, though.
I assume a large part of the Catholic Church in Latin America has been used as a tool by the British and later their American allies to dominate the region. The Jesuits, Opus Dei and the Legionaries come to mind as possible collaborators.
James Kabala
The prophecies of St. Malachy were unheard of before 1590, when they were supposedly "discovered" in an old manuscript. Surprise, surprise – they are dead-on accurate up to 1590 and vague or questionable afterwards. (For example, the Benedictines do not "include an olive branch in their emblem;" rather, a group called the Olivetans is just one of many congregations within the Benedictine Order.) There is also the question of why God would reveal a boring list composed mainly of papal hometowns or descriptions of their coats of arms. At least other alleged prophecies usually claim to reveal worthwhile information.
Does anyone recall the gold nugget that was allegedly found amongst Pope Benedict's butlers apartments with the stolen documents ? The piece came from a Director of a gold mine in S America .The accompanying letter was that the Pope should donate to his favorite Hispanic charity. After reading the story I researched gold mines down there and was horrified to read how the indigenous farmer's land, crops and drinking water was being poisoned. They were begging for signatures on their petitions to stop the rape of their lands.
The NYT article linked above explains all the gifts and requests made of a Pope. It is way too akin to the corporate lobbies and banking interests that rule DC.
Seems to me that when a corporation like say Monsanto, has a vested interest in something such as say ,Genetically Modified Seeds …that ruffles the feathers of the populace peasants who are under the notion that they have a right to know the cause and effect of what they put into their bodies ,or have a right to keep their water sources or land clean and fertile, it plays well to have religion on your side, say nada or even support your endeavors.
As the Catholic Church goes so goes the world!
Alton, Dodd testified that she answered to four Communist Party bosses in the Vatican who were Cardinals and that was back in the late thirties.
"Dr. Bella Dodd, a high-ranking official of the Communist Party-USA, converted to Catholicism in April 1952 under the tutelage of Bishop Fulton Sheen. Stating that the Communist infiltration was so extensive that in the future "you will not recognize the Catholic Church," Dodd also asserted that:
Quote from: http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php/topic,3420491.0.html
In the late 1920's and 1930's, directives were sent from Moscow to all Communist Party organizations. In order to destroy the Catholic Church from within, party members were to be planted in seminaries and within diocesan organizations. … I, myself, put some 1,200 men in Catholic seminaries.
Dodd told her friend Alice von Hildebrand, the theologian, that "when she was an active party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican 'who were working for us'."
Manning Johnson, a former Communist Party official testified in 1953 to the House un-American Activities Committee regarding the infiltration of the Catholic Church:
Quote from: Manning Johnson
Once the tactic of infiltration of religious organizations was set by the Kremlin … the Communists discovered that the destruction of religion could proceed much faster through infiltration of the (Catholic) Church by Communists operating within the Church itself. …This policy of infiltrating seminaries was successful beyond even our communist expectations."
http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php?topic=3420452.40;wap2
Thank you, James Kabala, for the historical background on the Malachy prophecies. When I was in college, we learned that although an accurate knowledge of history could help us avoid making the same mistakes over and over again, it could in no way enable us to predict the future.
When I was in Sunday School, we learned that prophets were not people who were given a supernatural vision of future events, but those who could see the consequences of current political decisions. The most prominent example was Winston Churchill who saw that Hitler could not be appeased and that war was the inevitable consequence.
For God's directions concerning divining the future see Deuteronomy 18:9-22.
Why didn't Bella Dodd name the four cardinals in the Vatican who were plotting with the communists to bring down the Catholic Church? How did she go about placing 1,200 party members in seminaries? Did she write recommendations for all of them? If these seminarians were so well educated that they could be admitted to Catholic Seminaries, would not at least some of them have been converted to the Truths of the Catholic Faith and publicly rejected their Communist ideology? In short what kind of documentation has ever been produced that what Bella Dodd said was true? Or was she trying to make a living selling books during the Communist scare of the 1950s?
Janice ,
"….prophets were not people who were given a supernatural vision of future events, but those who could see the consequences of current political decisions."
I guess Gerald Celente might therefore, be called a 'prophet"under the definition you were taught?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lgqblUmcqX8
I was taught that the prophets were inspired by God for His purposes which are to console guide and recognize the difficult times they endure which test Faith so His people "the elect" know how to respond and are assured that He is always ultimately in control and learn to love Him and trust in Him even more.
Judas is an example of one who did not trust in His Mercy and forgiveness and so, he committed suicide.
The Apocalypse aka Revelations would be an example of these prophetical "supernatural visions".
What you described are people like Gerald Celente. Trend forecasters who base their assumptions on past and present political decisions.
By the way he makes some good points in the video interview above.
I'ld like to add to this that there is nothing new under the sun regarding human proclivity to sin.It has just gone global and the worst of it which can do the most harm both spiritually and physically to the largest amount people is now more concentrated in the power addicted persona of relatively very few.
Malachi Martin once said that Satan now walks in jack boots in the corporate and political board rooms.He was no prophet either.
I have no idea about the Bella Dodd material. New York and London were probably running the Kremlin to a large extent at the time anyway. The communist conspiracies feed into the Cold War craziness. No doubt the usual suspects were giving American technology to the Soviet Union in order to build up a rival superpower in order to play off the superpowers against each other. The Church got caught up in this charade after WWII. Real concern for the poor degenerated into liberation theology while concern for liturgical discipline evolved into obsessions over left-wing plots and right-wing restoration. Just smoke and mirrors galore.
Joseph – I've been checking it out for myself. Based on the reading I've done so far on the prophecies of Malachy, I've reached two conclusions. (1) Malachy (b. 1094, d. 1148) didn't write the prophecies. They were probably written sometime in the 1590s and falsely ascribed to him. The forger's object was to influence the electors in favor of a certain cardinal during a papal conclave. Disenchanted non-Catholics should appreciate that. (2) The prophecies are not the words of an inspired prophet. For the popes after Gregory XIV (1590-91), the "prophecies" make a few hits here and there, but being right in parts isn't enough for a series of predictions to be considered inspired. (Thanks, James Kabala, comment 34).
I've also wondered why Dodd didn't name names. It seems she must have to someone (Bishop Sheen?), otherwise she would have been dismissed out of hand. Does anyone have any information on this or credible explanation of what happened. Also, why wasn't anything done about her revelations? Finally, I'm also amazed that none of the plants converted or renounced his assignment. It all makes me wonder whether Dodd was a fraud who capitalized on her communist past during the cold war.
Fr Michael , Bella Dodd visited the Von Hildebrand's home on LI not long after her conversion. She told them that Bishop Sheen instructed her explicitly NOT to reveal the names.
I asked the very same question of a friend of Von Hildebrand's who was kind enough to forward the PDF Docs to me from Alice and send along a copy of the notarized testimonials given by wittnesses who heard her soeak in public.
My own suspicions arose against Bishop Sheen who , like Ratzinger in the CDF ,seemed to err on the side of not causing scandal for the ,"..good of the Church."
The results were the same per this philosophy.The Faithful were not alerted and warned . Neither were they made aware of the wolves in the pulpit preaching and teaching error or realize the rampant ebophile predation .
I was also sent the notarized testimonial of a couple who heard Dodd speak. She traveled the country giving talks to Catholics at seminars and symposiums. Dodd said only the hx Party members were willing to take on the assignment.
They were to appear to be orthodox until they reached the highest position in their clerical careers and then reveal their heterodox views in order to demoralize and destroy Church Doctrine.
Speaking of prophets ….Bl Emmerick talks of a dream she had of the future in which she travels to Rome visiting the Basilicas there .She states that good Catholics do not trust each other or know who to trust which indicates what the times would be like .
I will have to look it up again ,but interestingly I seem to recall she mentioned St Francis as accompanying her .
Leon , I sent you the PDF Docs on Dodd soem time ago .Feel free to publish them.
Toby Westermen was sent the same Documents at the time.
http://www.inatoday.com/20030728.htm
Another view of the Communist influence in American political and cultural history.
http://www.dcdave.com/article5/130319.htm
That Sheen told Dodd not to reveal the names does not surprise me. After all, Sheen converted the wife of Henry Luce. And we know that Mr. Luce was a very influential member of the Anglo-American establishment. Sheen's boss Francis Spellman was very close to the centers of power on the East Coast as well. Sheen probably didn't want to embarrass the power players Dodd knew to be communists. From reading Fr. Feeney's newsletters, I get the feeling that he found Sheen to be a lackey of the northeastern establishment.
Also, conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Eustace Mullins claimed that Fr. Walsh, SJ, of Georgetown helped shut down Joseph McCarthy.
The picture is starting to become clearer to me that an influential portion of the American hierarchy has helped cover up the crimes of the Anglo-American establishment. These are the same people who turned Russia into the enemy of the United States while profiting off the Cold War military build-up in both the US and the Soviet Union.
Bob Hoatson's complaint lists an incident where Bishop Sheen allegedly covered up sexual abuse of a young girl or woman. Yet a diocese in Illinois is still pushing for his canonization. What's next? St. Francis Spellman?

Myelosuppression and increased risk of myelosuppression without vitamin supplementation: ALIMTA can cause severe myelosuppression resulting in a requirement for transfusions and which may lead to neutropenic infection. The risk of myelosuppression is increased in patients who do not receive vitamin supplementation. Prior to treatment with ALIMTA, patients must be instructed to initiate supplementation with oral folic acid. Intramuscular injections of vitamin B12 are also required prior to ALIMTA treatment. Folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation should be continued during treatment and for 21 days after the last dose of ALIMTA, as they may reduce the severity of treatment-related hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities. Obtain a complete blood count at the beginning of each cycle. Do not administer ALIMTA until the ANC is at least 1500 cells/mm3 and platelet count is at least 100,000 cells/mm3. Permanently reduce ALIMTA in patients with an ANC of less than 500 cells/mm3 or a platelet count of less than 50,000 cells/mm3 in previous cycles.

Indications and Important Safety Information
Indications for ALIMTA® (pemetrexed for injection)
ALIMTA is indicated in combination with cisplatin for the initial treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
ALIMTA is indicated as a single agent for the maintenance treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed after four cycles of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy.
ALIMTA is indicated as a single agent for the treatment of patients with recurrent metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after prior chemotherapy.
ALIMTA is indicated, in combination with cisplatin, for the initial treatment of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) whose disease is unresectable or who are otherwise not candidates for curative surgery.
Myelosuppression and Increased Risk of Myelosuppression Without Vitamin Supplementation
ALIMTA can cause severe myelosuppression resulting in a requirement for transfusions and which may lead to neutropenic infection. The risk of myelosuppression is increased in patients who do not receive vitamin supplementation.
Prior to treatment with ALIMTA, patients must be instructed to initiate supplementation with oral folic acid. Intramuscular injections of vitamin B12 are also required prior to ALIMTA treatment. Folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation should be continued during treatment and for 21 days after the last dose of ALIMTA as they may reduce the severity of treatment-related hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities. Obtain a complete blood count at the beginning of each cycle. Do not administer ALIMTA until the ANC is at least 1500 cells/mm3 and platelet count is at least 100,000 cells/mm3. Permanently reduce ALIMTA in patients with an ANC of less than 500 cells/mm3 or platelet count of less than 50,000 cells/mm3 in previous cycles.
In Studies JMDB and JMCH, among patients who received vitamin supplementation, incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 15% and 23%, the incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 6% and 4%, and incidence of Grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia was 4% and 5%, respectively. In Study JMCH, 18% of patients in the ALIMTA arm required red blood cell transfusions compared to 7% of patients in the cisplatin arm. In Studies JMEN, PARAMOUNT, and JMEI, where all patients received vitamin supplementation, incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia ranged from 3% to 5%, and incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia ranged from 3% to 5%.
ALIMTA can cause severe, and sometimes fatal, renal toxicity. Determine creatinine clearance before each dose and periodically monitor renal function during treatment with ALIMTA.
The incidences of renal failure in clinical studies in which patients received ALIMTA with cisplatin were 2.1% in Study JMDB and 2.2% in Study JMCH. The incidence of renal failure in clinical studies in which patients received ALIMTA as a single agent ranged from 0.4% to 0.6% (Studies JMEN, PARAMOUNT, and JMEI).
Withhold ALIMTA in patients with a creatinine clearance of less than 45 mL/min.
Bullous and Exfoliative Skin Toxicity
Serious and sometimes fatal, bullous, blistering, and exfoliative skin toxicity, including cases suggestive of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, can occur with ALIMTA. Permanently discontinue ALIMTA for severe and life-threatening bullous, blistering, or exfoliating skin toxicity.
Interstitial Pneumonitis
Serious interstitial pneumonitis, including fatal cases, can occur with ALIMTA treatment. Withhold ALIMTA for acute onset of new or progressive unexplained pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, or fever pending diagnostic evaluation. If pneumonitis is confirmed, permanently discontinue ALIMTA.
Radiation Recall
Radiation recall can occur with ALIMTA in patients who have received radiation weeks to years previously. Monitor patients for inflammation or blistering in areas of previous radiation treatment. Permanently discontinue ALIMTA for signs of radiation recall.
Increased Risk of Toxicity With Ibuprofen in Patients With Renal Impairment
Exposure to ALIMTA is increased in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment who take concomitant ibuprofen, increasing the risks of adverse reactions of ALIMTA. In patients with creatinine clearances between 45 mL/min and 79 mL/min, avoid administration of ibuprofen for 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days following administration of ALIMTA. If concomitant ibuprofen use cannot be avoided, monitor patients more frequently for ALIMTA adverse reactions, including myelosuppression, renal, and gastrointestinal toxicity.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, ALIMTA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of pemetrexed to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis was teratogenic, resulting in developmental delays and increased malformations at doses lower than the recommended human dose of 500 mg/m2. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ALIMTA and for 6 months after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ALIMTA and for 3 months after the final dose.
Ibuprofen increases exposure (AUC) of pemetrexed. In patients with creatinine clearance between 45 mL/min and 79 mL/min:
Avoid administration of ibuprofen for 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days following administration of ALIMTA.
Monitor patients more frequently for myelosuppression, renal, and gastrointestinal toxicity, if concomitant administration of ibuprofen cannot be avoided.

USE IN SPECIFIC PATIENT POPULATIONS
Lactation: There is no information regarding the presence of pemetrexed or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from ALIMTA, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ALIMTA and for one week after the last dose.
Males of Reproductive Potential: ALIMTA may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential. It is not known whether these effects on fertility are reversible.
Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of ALIMTA in pediatric patients have not been established. Adverse reactions observed in pediatric patients studied were similar to those observed in adults.
Patients with Renal Impairment: ALIMTA is primarily excreted by the kidneys. Decreased renal function results in reduced clearance and greater exposure (AUC) to ALIMTA compared with patients with normal renal function. No dose is recommended for patients with creatinine clearance less than 45 mL/min.
Geriatric: The incidences of Grade 3-4 anemia, fatigue, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, and neutropenia were higher in patients 65 years of age and older as compared to younger patients: in at least one of five randomized clinical trials.
For safety and dosing guidelines for ALIMTA, see complete Warnings and Precautions, Adverse Reactions, and Dosage and Administration sections in the full Prescribing Information and Patient Prescribing Information.

Coroner: Carrie Fisher died of sleep apnea, other factors
Officials could not give conclusive cause of death
"Star Wars" star Carrie Fisher's mother was a famous actress, singer and dancer.
Actress Carrie Fisher died of sleep apnea and other undetermined factors, a coroner told The Associated Press Friday.
Officials could not conclusively determine a cause of death, the AP said.
Fisher had a buildup of fat in the walls of her arteries, Los Angeles coroner's officials said in a news release.
The "Star Wars" actress had also taken multiple drugs, but investigators could not say whether they contributed to their death, the wire service said.
Fisher was 60 when she went into cardiac arrest on Dec. 23 aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles. She died four days later at a hospital. Her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died the following day at the age of 84.
Todd Fisher, her brother, said he wasn't surprised. "There's nothing about this that's enlightening," he told the AP.
He also said it wasn't surprising that "Carrie did drugs," he said. Many of the drugs were prescribed by doctors to try and treat her mental health conditions, he said.
"I am not shocked that part of her health was affected by drugs," Todd Fisher said.

Der silberne Sessel bzw. Die Tür nach Narnia (engl. Originaltitel The Silver Chair) ist ein Fantasy-Roman für Kinder des irischen Schriftstellers C. S. Lewis. Das Buch erschien 1953 bei dem Verlag Geoffrey Bles, ihm folgten in der Serie Die Chroniken von Narnia noch drei weitere Bände nach. In der Erzählreihenfolge der Chroniken ist Der silberne Sessel der sechste Band, nach dem 1952 erschienenen Die Reise auf der Morgenröte.

Inhalt
Eustachius (oder Eustace) findet seine Mitschülerin Jill weinend hinter der Sporthalle ihrer Schule und erzählt ihr tröstend von seinem Abenteuer mit seinem Cousin Edmund und seiner Cousine Lucy in dem Land Narnia. Als sie auf der Flucht vor älteren Mitschülern ein Seitentor der Schule durchqueren, landen sie plötzlich in einer anderen Welt und beginnen sofort zu streiten, wer an diesen Umständen schuld sei.

Während des Streits gelangen sie an eine Klippe und Eustachius wird versehentlich durch Jill hinuntergeschubst, aber durch den auftauchenden Aslan gerettet. Weinend taumelt sie durch den nahe liegenden Wald und stößt auf Aslan, der den beiden Kindern die Aufgabe überträgt, König Kaspians verschollenen Sohn, Prinz Rilian, zu suchen. Aslan schickt sie daraufhin mit seinem Atem nach Narnia, wo sie Eustachius wieder trifft.

Die Tatsache, dass sie sich vor ein paar Stunden noch gestritten haben, ist längst vergessen und mit Hilfe von sprechenden Eulen fliegen sie ins nördliche Narnia und treffen dort den Moorwackler Trauerpfützler. Zusammen wandern die Reisegefährten in Richtung Norden. Zuerst gelangen sie nach Ettinsmoor, ein Ort an dem "dumme Riesen" leben. Danach treffen sie auf eine grün gekleidete Dame und einen vermummten Ritter, welche sie zur Riesenstadt schicken, damit sie dort einige Tage verweilen. Als sie jedoch dort ankommen, werden sie verwöhnt und somit zum Bleiben verführt, denn das wahre Ziel der Riesen ist es, sie bei einem Fest zu verspeisen. Die Kinder und Trauerpfützler erfahren dies aber noch rechtzeitig und fliehen in einen Tunnel, wo sie von Unterweltgeschöpfen festgehalten werden, welche sie zu ihrer Königin bringen. Diese ist aber nicht anwesend und so werden sie in ihrem Palast von einem Menschen begrüßt, welcher sich als der vermummte Ritter herausstellt, den sie bereits zuvor trafen. Sie fragen ihn nach Erklärungen dafür, dass seine Herrin sie von den Riesen fressen lassen wollte, doch er antwortet nur, dass seine Herrin nur das Richtige täte und es sich um ein Missverständnis handeln muss.

Später am gleichen Tag warnt der junge Mann die Kinder und Trauerpfützler davor, dass er gelegentlich Wutanfälle habe und während dieser Wutanfälle an einen silbernen Sessel gefesselt werden müsse, um sich nicht selbst zu verletzen. Als er dann wirklich einen solchen Wutanfall bekommt, spricht er davon, dass er der verschwundene Prinz Rilian sei und dass sie ihn schnell befreien müssen. Die Kinder geraten in Zweifel, welcher der beiden Aussagen sie Glauben schenken können. Ob er der wahre Prinz ist, wenn er auf dem silbernen Stuhl sitzt, oder ob es nur die angekündigten Anfälle von Wahnsinn sind. Schließlich riskieren sie es und befreien ihn, der sofort nach seiner Befreiung den silbernen Sessel zerschlägt. Dabei taucht plötzlich die grüne Hexe im Raum auf, die versucht, Rilian, die beiden Kinder und Trauerpfützler in ihren Bann zu ziehen. Als dies misslingt, nimmt sie die Form einer Schlange an und wird im Kampf von Rilian getötet. Die gleiche Schlange hatte Jahre zuvor Rilians Mutter getötet und ihn mit Hilfe ihrer Magie entführt.

Es gelingt ihnen, das Reich der Unterwelt zu verlassen und Rilian trifft seinen Vater König Kaspian. Kurz darauf stirbt Kaspian und Rilian wird König. Jill und Eustachius kehren in ihre eigene Welt zurück und können mit Hilfe Aslans ihre Mitschüler in die Flucht schlagen.

Ghost Pine - ZineWiki - the history and culture of zines, independent media and the small press.
Ghost Pine is a zine by Jeff Miller, previously published in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and subsequently published in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Ghost Pine is a lit-zine that also functions as a perzine featuring writing by the editor, generally in the form of stories. In his review on NewPages.com, Sean Stewart says of Ghost Pine, "Perzines are often too personal...But the writing in Ghost Pine, though rooted in punk rock and activism, travels way beyond it in significance."
Ghost Pine was one of the zines that was included on the Mobilivre-Bookmobile zine and artists' book tour across North America. Selections from Ghost Pine are featured in Zine Yearbook issue nine, which reprints excepts from zines published in 2007.
Ghost Pine was released in book form by Invisible Publishing in 2010.

I've been doing a little market research lately.
It started out as keyword research, but my search results on Etsy are yielding pages and pages of the exact same item.
For example, I searched for Tigers Eye Bracelet. Tigers Eye is one of those stones everyone knows about. Even non-rock people know what Tigers Eye is.
What did I find? Page after page of the exact same bracelet.
Rounds beads. Strung all in a row. Bead after bead. A single row of beads.
Oh, yes, some have one other bead - like a skull. A few have a second stone - but the same size - like Hematite. Or Blue Tigers Eye.
Isn't Etsy supposed to have unique handcrafted items?
Hundreds of the same item in my search results - and I have yet to see anything I would look at twice.
Iis this what the public wants? To buy a bracelet they could get in a trinket shop for under $5?
Where's the artistic vision in that? Where's the creativity?
It's disheartening to say the least. When you invest your time and creativity to make a superior product that is genuinely one of a kind, and instead the search engines give the consumers page after page after page of the same cheap, simplistic product.
So I added "unique one of a kind" to "Tigers Eye Bracelet" and I did get unique and one of a kind bracelets.
So I tried "Artisan Tigers Eye Bracelet" and got 5 pages of bracelets.
I'm afraid Etsy might be dying.
