Buddhists in Bodh Gaya Fear for the Future After India Enacts New Citizenship Law

India's recent move to pass a contentious law granting citizenship to illegal immigrants from six persecuted religious minorities—but excluding Muslims—has alarmed some Buddhists in the state of Bihar, especially in the Buddhist enclave of Bodh Gaya, who fear the implications the bill may have for them, with the proposed rollout of a National Register of Citizens (NRC) apparently imminent.
The Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), passed by India's government on 11 December and approved by President Ram Nath Kovind on 12 December, aims to fast-track citizenship for Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Parsi, and Sikh migrants from Muslim-majority Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, amending a 64-year-old citizenship law that prohibits illegal migrants from becoming Indian citizens. The Indian government, led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), maintains that the new law will provide people fleeing religious persecution with sanctuary, but critics say the bill is part of a BJP agenda to marginalize Muslims in India.
The CAB enactment also raises the specter of a nationwide NRC, which requires residents to show proof of family residency going back decades. Originally drawn up to identify and control illegal immigrants in the northeastern state of Assam, which borders Bhutan to the north and Bangladesh to the south, senior leaders in India are now seeking to apply the register at the national level. If implemented, those who are excluded from the NRC would be divided into two categories: Muslim migrants, who would be deemed illegal, and all other migrants, who would have been deemed illegal but for the CAB—but only if they can show their country of origin as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, or Pakistan.
There is considerable uncertainty over the status of many Tibetans in Bhihar, said Tenzin Lama, a senior Buddhist monk from Tibet now based in Bodh Gaya. "There is an uncertainty over our status. If the situation allows, we may consider going back to Tibet," he said. (Hindustan Times)
According to census data for 2011, Bihar is home to 25,453 Buddhists, representing 0.02 per cent of the state's total population, but there are also thousands of Buddhists from other countries who have lived for several generations in the area where the historical Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment.

"Nearly 80,000 Tibetans had followed [the] Dalai Lama to our country through the Himalayas at that time and while many settled at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, some also preferred to stay at Bodh Gaya," said Buddhist monk Priyapal Bhante. "They have been here for over three to four generations. Also many among the generation which migrated from Tibet may no longer be alive." (Hindustan Times)
Priyapal Bhante explained that many of the families were worried about their ability to prove their status in India, as they might have difficulty providing documentary evidence of their forebears and their lineage.
"They have already been living a life of the refugees and have gone through the painful experience of dislocation and exodus and once again they have before them the threat of deportation due to the NRC exercise," he said, adding that the recent impact of the bill in Assam offered a sobering reflection of national sentiment. (Hindustan Times)
The passing of the CAB has seen a wave of protests that have so far left six people dead in Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, and New Delhi, and elsewhere in the country, due to the exclusion of Muslims from the list, as well as reports of suicides among those held in Indian detention camps. Protests have been particularly defiant in Assam, with residents fearing that an influx of immigrants will bring an ethnic and demographic shift—regardless of religion. The Narendra Modi government's pledge to roll out the NRC nationwide could see meaning millions lose their residency and the chance of citizenship.
Together, the NRC and CAB have the "potential of transforming India into a majoritarian polity with gradations of citizenship rights," said sociologist Niraja Gopal Jaya. (BBC News)
Protesters in Assam shout the slogan: "This is a war to protect our motherland from illegal foreigners." From indiatoday.in
Priyapal Bhante noted that Tibetans in India already face significant hurdles dealing with the authorities and almost endless reams of bureaucracy. "Getting [an] Indian passport has already been a herculean task for them. I know many Tibetans whose applications for passport[s] were rejected by the competent authorities at [the] passport office," he said. (Hindustan Times)
Tibetans are not the only people likely to be affected by the NRC. Bodh Gaya is home to almost 50 temples and monasteries representing the Buddhist traditions of many countries and regions, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam, accommodating hundreds of male and female monastics.
Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation official Mukesh Kumar, observed that the population of Buddhists staying at Bodh Gaya on tourist visas was not insignificant. "Many of them have been here for over a decade," he said. (Hindustan Times)

Exempt Market Update | Winter 2013 | www.emdacanada.com 26 or trading in securities, partnership interests or commodities or any interest in the same. FATCA applies to traditional non-US banks and brokerage houses, as well as non-US broker-dealers, investment funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, and securities underwriters, and will therefore apply to many EMDs.
EMDs may also be involved with "restricted" investment funds that are seeking to qualify for "registered deemed compliant FFI" status. Under proposed regulations issued in February 2012, registered deemed compliant FFI status allows FFIs to certify their compliance with FATCA and not require an IRS reporting agreement to avoid FATCA withholding. In order for an investment fund to get this status, it must satisfy several requirements; one of which is that distributors (underwriters, brokers, dealers) must be contractually prohibited from selling debt or equity interests to US persons (and certain other financial institutions).
What is an IRS reporting agreement?
• verify that it has adopted and complied with due diligence policies and procedures for identifying and documenting account holders and its withholding and reporting requirements under the FFI agreement—periodic reviews of compliance with these policies and procedures will be required; and. Report on an expanded affiliated group basis.
These requirements may be modified by an applicable intergovernmental agreement (see below).
What is an intergovernmental agreement?
The United States Treasury Department has sought to simplify the compliance burdens placed on FFIs under FATCA by entering into intergovernmental agreements (IGAs). Generally speaking, an IGA may be reciprocal or non-reciprocal. Both intergovernmental models seek to address local legal impediments to financial institutions' ability to comply with FATCA. Under the reciprocal model, FATCA may be implemented through local legislation in the partner country permitting FFIs in that country to satisfy their FATCA reporting obligations by reporting US account information to the authorities of the partner country instead of the IRS. Those authorities then automatically exchange that information with the US under existing bilateral treaties or information exchange agreements.
Generally, a non-reciprocal IGA contemplates direct reporting by FFIs to the IRS, instead of having FFIs report US account information to the local tax authorities for information exchange with the United States. In exchange for a reciprocal commitment, the US would generally not require an FFI agreement for covered FFIs in the partner country (but may impose registration guidelines). The US also agrees to eliminate withholding on FATCA payments to covered FFIs in the partner country, identify categories of deemed compliant FFIs/low-risk entities, and reciprocate the collection and reporting of information regarding US accounts of residents of partner country. Further, covered FFIs in the partner country would not be required to terminate accounts of recalcitrant account holders or to impose withholding on pass thru payments to recalcitrant accounts holders or impose withholding on pass thru payments to other covered FFIs in the partner country or in another jurisdiction in which the US has a similar FATCA implementation agreement.
The IRS has released several model agreements and has entered into one IGA (with the UK), but has recently announced on November 8, 2012 that it is in discussions with over 50 countries regarding IGAs, including Canada.
What is the status of FATCA guidance from the IRS?


LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Raymarine's engine and drive-by-wire steering interface — called the ECI-100 — should help boatbuilders and electronics system installers bridge the gap between the latest engines and steering systems and Raymarine products, the manufacturer announced Wednesday during a seminar at the International BoatBuilders' Exhibition & Conference.
The gateways can cost thousands of dollars. The new ECI-100 is $299. It collects and connects engine information to give the user access to performance data, fuel consumption and alarms through a full range of Raymarine multifunction displays.
The ECI-100 should hit the market in October. It's compatible with Volvo Penta, Yamaha Marine Command Link Plus, Caterpillar and Yanmar engines and interfaces with Volvo Penta IPS and Yamaha Helm Master autopilot systems. Compatibility will grow, so check www.raymarine.com for updates.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has announced the members for its Standing Committees, including the appointment of the new Anti-Doping Chairperson Dr. Matthias Kamber.
Kamber, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Swiss National Anti-Doping Organisation, will preside over the seven-member committee that is responsible in consulting and advising the IPC on issues related to fight against doping throughout the Paralympic Movement.
As part of his role as Chairperson, Kamber will appoint his committee members in the coming weeks.
The composition of six other Standing Committees were also confirmed, with the Audit and Finance, Classification, Education and Medical Committees each having a new athlete member.
Israel's Paralympic and world rowing medallist Moran Samuel is one of the additions to the Classification Committee.
"The reason I applied for the Classification Committee was because I believe classification is the core of Paralympic sport, and we should keep finding ways to balance between fair play and maximal competitiveness," Samuel said.
"I hope I can bring an athlete perspective, and I think that the combination of being a former wheelchair basketball player, and in the last eight years a rower gives me two different experiences of the classification system. Also, my background as a physiotherapist is a big help for me in understanding many of the medical, physical and functional aspects of classification."
All members of the Women in Sport Committee (WiSC) are new, with the Netherlands' Rita van Driel chairing the Committee.
"I am extremely happy with the new members of the WiSC who all bring extensive knowledge and experience around this important topic from different member organisations of the Movement all over the world," van Driel said.
"The IPC aims to achieve a gender equal Paralympic Movement by ensuring that women and men have the same opportunities to participate and succeed in all areas," she continued about the WiSC's priorities. "Since we are not there yet, there is an important role for the WiSC to go beyond aspirational notions to achieve action-oriented results. Since we first need to get a better understanding of the barriers that prevent women from becoming leaders or to engage in Para sport, the WiSC will carry out an IPC Gender Equality Review."

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has approved and welcomes 30 Neutral Paralympic Athletes (NPA) to compete in the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, which open on 9 March.
The delegation features 10 athletes who will compete in alpine skiing, 12 in Nordic skiing and three in snowboard. The Neutral Paralympic Athletes wheelchair curling team will feature five players. Six guides will support athletes who compete with a vision impairment, while the delegation will benefit from a further 39 support personnel and team officials.
All 30 athletes met the qualification criteria for the Games and fulfil the strict eligibility conditions for Russian athletes to compete as neutrals that were published by the IPC on 29 January. This means that all athletes selected for PyeongChang 2018 are part of a registered testing pool, have undergone at least two anti-doping tests in the last six months prior to the Games and participated in, and successfully completed, a Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) anti-doping education session.

Heads up on concussion in para sport
Heads up on concussion in para sport – British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM)
Concussions to high-profile professional athletes and the $1 billion court settlement between the NFL in the USA and thousands of former NFL players have brought sports concussion to the top of news headlines. The crux of the NFL case centred around retired players' allegation that the NFL did not warn them about the potential long-term health impact of concussions. Cases such as these alert sport governing bodies to the medicolegal importance of this issue and their responsibility for player safety. For the Para athlete, the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) term for a sportsperson with an impairment, the concussion debate struggles to garner attention. This is partly because funding for epidemiological research in this area is limited. But athletes with a variety of impairments due to a range of medical issues face the risks and consequences of concussive brain injury in Para sports: it is time for paralympic medical and sporting communities to address this important issue.

The Paralympic Games represent the pinnacle of elite sport for athletes with disabilities while also changing perceptions around the importance of grassroots sport and physical activity opportunities for the disability community more broadly.
Features of Organizational Management of Russian Sport Federation of Physically Disabled (case of Russian Federation of sport for persons with physical impairments)
Features of Organizational Management of Russian Sport Federation of Physically Disabled (case of Russian Federation of sport for persons with physical impairments) – Theory and Practice of Physical Culture and Sport
The purpose of the study was to improve the organizational management of the Russian Federation of Sports for Persons with Physical Impairment (RFSPPI). So we defined the following objectives: to determine the specific features and main problems of the organizational management of the RFSPPI; to describe the organizational management of the RFSPPI and define the demands of athletes and trainers from the Paralympic National Teams of Russia for classifiers; to elaborate and justify measures on enhancement of the efficiency of the RFSPPI in the classification of disabled athletes.
Adjustment of the organizational structure of management of the RFSPPI (implication of the classifiers' department) and formulation of documents that regulate the procedure of classification and training of classifiers in sports for people with physical impairments, was supposed to enhance the efficiency of the RFSPPI (increase the number of athletes with granted sport grade of the national level and the number of classifiers that objectively determine athlete's sport grade).

Cat owner spends £80 to find out what's wrong with pet – only to find she's sick of him
A cat owner has been left £80 out of pocket after rushing his pet to the vets when she started acting out of character – only to find out she was just sick of him
Harry and Helen (
Picture: Triangle News)
It's no secret that cats aren't always the most sociable of pets and no matter how much you want a cuddle, sometimes they just want to be left alone.
One man from Salford Quays, Gtr Mancs, has found that his pet really wants some time away from him, after spending £80 on vets bills.
Harry Jones had become worried that his nine-month-old kitten, called Helen, had been acting rather strangely, as she'd started peeing inside and scratching on the front door.
So he took her for an emergency appointment, thinking she might have an infection – only to discover she was just sick of him.
The 25-year-old comms worker had been home more often as he'd been recovering from an op on his eardrum and Helen was clearly in need of some space.
Helen had been acting out of character

Harry took her to the vet

Harry, 25, said: "She has been a little bit off the last couple of weeks.
"She's been acting a bit strange, clawing at the front door and meowing loudly, just generally acting out of character.
"Then it came to a head a couple of weeks ago when she weed on my bed, and then she weed on the floor. She was just really letting me know that she wasn't happy.
"I was quite worried. I thought she might have an infection or something."
Fearing the worst, Harry, set off for their local vet.
It turned out Helen was just a bit sick of Harry
Helen needs some alone time
He explained: "I got an emergency appointment and the vet told me she is physically absolutely fine.
"The vet asked me if anything had changed recently and I explained I'd had an operation on my ear a few weeks ago, so I had been recovering at home.
"But she said I had changed Helen's routine, that she was used to getting me out and about and working usually.
"She said: 'But now you're sat at home with her all day, she wants a bit of space'."
Harry ended up spending £50 on the emergency appointment, plus another £30 on gadgets and diffusers to try and calm the cat.
But it turned out he needn't have bothered, as all he needed to do was leave the house for a bit.
Woman uses blacklight in mum's spare room and now wants to 'burn whole house down'
Harry continued: "I was just so worried because she had never done anything like this before, and she's only about nine months old.
"She's usually quite cuddly and likes sleeping on my bed with me and things like that.
"But she clearly just got a bit sick of me."
He adds that it's "quite iconic" his kitten had gotten fed up with him so quickly and he hopes they can repair their relationship once he gets back to the office.
The singleton who lives with a flatmate said he's been filling his recovery time with reading and watching old movies like Matilda.
Helen is so fed up with humans by this point she even gets cranky when Harry's flatmate comes home from the office.
Her owner admitted that despite her strops, she is a "bit of an attention seeker".
In 2021 vets issued a warning that some moggies were becoming seriously ill with stress as lockdown forced their owners to stay home.
A spokeswoman for Cats Protection said any change in a cat's routine can upset their mental health.
Cats are creatures of habit and thrive within a routine.
But vet medics warned owners to look out for more serious symptoms of anxiety that could even be deadly, like straining to pee or peeing in strange places, and other signs of cystitis.
Owners who are spending more time at home are advised to create safe hiding places for their pets to escape to when they've had enough of their human pals.

Police confirm Leah Reek was killed in Leicester explosion after forensic tests
Leah Reek with her certificate for being nominated for an award through her voluntary work with LOROS EMN-180227-124802001
Published: 19:20 Friday 02 March 2018
Police have tonight (Friday) confirmed that Asfordby teenager Leah Reek was killed in the devastating explosion in Leicester last weekend.
The 18-year-old former pupil of Melton's Long Field Academy and Asfordby Captain's Close Primary School was named as one of five people missing in the wake of the blast which reduced a two-storey flat and the mini supermarket below it to rubble on Sunday night.
Leicestershire Police said earlier in the week that five people were killed in the incident and this evening, following detailed forensic enquiries conducted over several days, they have now been able to confirm the identities of four of them.
One of the others who was killed was Leah's boyfriend, Shane Ragoobeer, who was also 18 and who lived in the collapsed flat.
His brother, Sean (17) has also been identified as a victim, along with Viktorija Ijevlev (22), who is thought to have been working in the shop at the time of the explosion.
Although the fifth person has still to be formally identified, it is believed to be the body of Shane and Sean's mother, Mary Ragoobeer, who was 46.
Inquests into their deaths will be opened on a date yet to be fixed.
Police say the families of those killed do not wish to make any public comment at this tragic time.
Officers have arrested five people in connection with the blast and they are continuing to interview them.
Two are being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to cause an explosion and for offences under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The other three were detained on suspicion of manslaughter.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward who saw anyone near the mini supermarket, on Hinckley Road, at the time of the blast, at 7pm.
They are asked to call police on 101 quoting incident number 443 of March 1.

This is the gist of a very passionate, personal, and political debate raging through the Kratom community all the way to the government. At Karmaganics, we are obviously Kratom advocates that support all of our fellow Kratom warriors in the fight to keep Kratom legal as well as help it regain legal status where it currently is banned. This article will go into detail about who wants to ban Kratom, where Kratom is banned as of this post, and what actions you can take to help fight the good fight.
Who Wants To Ban Kratom?
The Food and Drug Administration has been on a war path to ban Kratom since 2016. They have been making full scale efforts to make Kratom a Schedule 1 Drug, which puts it in the same legal company as heroin. Many of us can argue that such a classification borders on ridiculous. However, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has been hellbent on doing what he can to push for this ban. Fortunately, he has been met with tremendous opposition from the Kratom community around the country which has delayed many of his efforts.
In other good news, Gottlieb recently announced that he will be stepping down as Commissioner of the FDA in April 2019! This has sent a ripple of applause and relief through the Kratom community. However, it remains to be seen who will replace him and whether his replacement will hold the same position on Kratom.
Gottlieb launched a very savvy online anti-Kratom campaign designed to instill fear about Kratom. As a result, a lot of misinformation and lies continue to be spread. But as of now, the news of his resignation comes as a huge sigh of relief for Kratom warriors all over the country.
Where is Kratom Currently Banned?
Unfortunately there are areas where Kratom is considered a Schedule 1 Drug. Some are entire states while others are just a few cities within a state. The list is constantly being updated, but as of this writing, the following areas have a Kratom ban: Sarasota, Vermont, Wisconsin, San Diego, Oceanside, Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Jersey County Illinois, Union County Mississippi, Rhode Island, District of Columbia, Denver Colorado.
Lately, Ohio has been the latest state to try to ban Kratom. As recently as early March 2019, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy decided to move forward on a proposal to make Kratom a Schedule 1 Drug. It still needs to meet approval by two more government bodies in order for a ban to be put in effect. The news may seem bleak, but war is not yet over in Ohio. The American Kratom Association and all Kratom advocates still have a chance to make our voices heard.
Speaking of the American Kratom Association, they have recently unveiled what they are calling the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. This legislative effort is designed to protect our rights to access Kratom, while banning adulterated Kratom products. Anything that changes the potency or chemical make up of the mitragyna speciosa would be considered adulterated. The AKA's Act is a fantastic, proactive step to keep Kratom accessible. So far, Utah has been the first state to vote in favor of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. Next, it moves to the Senate floor for further approval. Efforts are currently underway in Georgia and various other states to keep Kratom legal.
The Kratom community is not one to sit idly by in the face of conflict! We have become a very vocal community which is a necessity for its survival. So, what can you do to help win the fight? The first step would be to donate to the American Kratom Association. They are our best chance and really our only major body of advocates. Every dollar that goes to them helps in the fight to stand up to the government and fight for our rights.
Another positive action you can take is simply to talk about Kratom to anyone who will listen! Encourage your friends and family to follow the science and educate as many people as you can.
Lastly, when there are any town halls or public hearings that can affect Kratom's legal status, show up and let your voice be heard! As always, please be courteous and respectful.
As you can see, the legal status of Kratom seems to be in a constant state of motion. The good news is that for the most part, our voices are being heard. What's most important is that we continue to fight at both the state and national levels to keep Kratom legal. Do your part by donating to the AKA today and keep spreading the truth about Kratom. We can't win this war without you!

Monkeys and children kiss and make up at the same rate
by Brian Close
A University researcher has shown that kids and monkeys make up after a fight in a similar way.
In his doctoral dissertation, Peter Verbeek studied the speed at which preschoolers make up after a fight. He used the same methods he used in an earlier study of peacemaking in Capuchin monkeys.
Verbeek, a post-doctoral fellow in the Institute of Child Development, found that the children and the monkeys both reconciled at about the same frequency after a conflict.
One difference between the two was that children sometimes reconcile immediately, whereas non-human primates tend not to have that skill.
Verbeek said reconciliation occurs across primate species within the first five minutes after a conflict.
Generally, reconciliation is when two opponents selectively seek each other out after a conflict.
Verbeek said the specific act of reconciliation can take many forms.
"Chimps will open-mouth or French kiss for reconciliation," he said. "Other species might groom each other or sit close together."
Verbeek's work builds on the studies of peacemaking among non-human primates, begun 15 years ago by Franz De Waal, a researcher and author who worked with Verbeek at Emory University in Atlanta.
"In the past, we focused on the occurrence of aggression," Verbeek said, "and really never looked at the mechanisms of repair to restore peace after aggression."
De Waal said Verbeek's study of Capuchin monkeys was the first study of a New World primate, which include most of the monkeys.
He said there have been studies of 25 different species, all of them Old World primates, including chimpanzees, gorillas and the other apes.
De Waal remembered Verbeek joking about his work with preschoolers.
"He always made the joke that he had kept working with monkeys," De Waal said, "because children have these monkey bars, and in a way they act very much like monkeys."
Verbeek said he observed differences in the type of aggression depending on age.
"With older children, the duration is longer, conflicts become more complex, and more children become involved," he said.
He said 3-year-old preschoolers often fought over possession, but 5-year-olds often fought about relationships.
Professor Nicki Crick, also in the Institute of Child Development, has seen similar differences in aggression among children of all ages, depending on gender.
She said for boys, conflicts are generally over territory or objects, reflecting the dominance hierarchy that is present.
Girls often fight about a relationship slight, Crick said, like not getting invited to a party or hearing two other girls snickering at them.
She also said girls will also use relationships as the vehicle of aggression by giving the "silent treatment" or spreading rumors to talk others into not liking someone.
Verbeek said a common peace-making mechanism among all primates likely evolved over time to keep social groups together and maintain order in a society.
He said there is a debate as to how natural selection encourages a species' intelligence to grow.
The debate is between environmental stresses, like having to cope with ice ages, and social problems, like having to deal with these complex social interactions.
"We know a lot about what they can do to manipulate their environment," he said. "There is a real need to know about social behavior."

The Remnant Launches Petition Drive to Stop Francis' Synod on the Family
It's already mid-August, and the Neo-Traditionalists at The Remnant know very well that the writing is on the wall: The synod of "bishops" planned for October in Rome, in which the Vatican II Sect will, among other things, try to find a "pastoral solution" to the problem of public adulterers wanting to receive the Novus Ordo sacraments, is most likely going to unleash a doctrinal and moral earthquake that will make Francis' absurd "pontificate" up until now look like the Medieval Inquisition. There has even been talk of changing the "language" of the natural moral law, which is a clear pretext for changing or abolishing the concept entirely. If Francis' glowing endorsement of the apostate "cardinal" Walter Kasper's outline for permitting adulterers to receive the sacraments is any indication, Novus Ordo Traditionalists are in for some real trouble. The Remnantknows it and is now seriously trying to stop the synod, by means of a petition to the Vatican, which they have made available also online:
Stop the Synod! (An Online Petition)
The accompanying text, written by Christopher A. Ferrara, is right on the money, of course, in terms of pointing out what is wrong with the Modernist Vatican's planned October Revolution and the false theology behind it, and how everyone who calls himself a Catholic must vigorously oppose it. Yet, Ferrara & Co. really have no cause to complain: You get the "Pope" you are willing to accept. They accept a public non-Catholic as their Pope, so now they have to face the consequences: They must now deal with a man who also practices the non-Catholic religion he professes. Don't like it? Too bad: False principles have consequences. Of course, for an American lay-run "Catholic" newspaper to collect signatures to present to the "Holy Father" to convince him to call off the synod he has scheduled for October (and at the end of which the wicked Paul VI will be "beatified"), is downright laughable. Surely the editor of the paper (Michael Matt) and its columnists must know this, but we suspect that their determination to launch this silly petition drive anyway is a testimony to the utter desperation that has begun to set in in their camp. (Though of course this will also have a welcome advertising effect for the paper, which seems to be struggling financially.) Just how do they envision their petition being successful? Do they really think that one fine morning, Francis will be presented with, say, 124,000 signatures on a "Why we oppose the Synod" document, and he will then say, "You know what, I hadn't thought of that — these good people at The Remnant have a point…. We better not have the synod after all; it's too dangerous and not really needed. Oscar, call off the synod!" Seriously? This is the same Jorge Bergoglio who calls people like Matt & Ferrara "self-absorbed Promethean neo-pelagians" (see Evangelii Gaudium, n. 94), so what's the point of this ludicrous idea of a tiny minority of "Catholics" petitioning the Vatican not to go ahead with this highly-anticipated event? And isn't it ironic that The Remnant is seeking clergy and laity to sign and support a petition to the Vatican, while in the same breath denouncing the idea of a church run by the democratic "will of the people of God"? How is what they are doing any different from what Ferrara here criticizes the Vatican and Novus Ordo bishops for doing, that is, mobilizing the people to effect change in Rome? Needless to say, the petition will fail. The synod will continue as planned, and it will be disastrous. But to many Novus Ordo Trads — the people to whom we sometimes refer as Semi-Traditionalists, Neo-Traditionalists, or Pseudo-Traditionalists — even a synod-gone-wild won't matter ultimately, because they've long stopped submitting to what they claim is the Holy See anyway. That is, subjectively they have long become genuine schismatics, because they are refusing submission to the man they believe to be the rightful successor of St. Peter, and this certainly constitutes the grave sin of schism (even if it technically does not fulfill the ecclesiastical crime of schism, inasmuch as Francis is not in fact the Roman Pontiff). Among the most vociferous proponents of this schismatic position we find people like Bp. Richard Williamson, Fr. Peter Scott (SSPX), John Vennari, the people running the Traditio site, and the late "Fr." Gregory Hesse (Matt and Ferrara are a bit more nuanced and less radical in their endorsement of this position). Other than affirming the legitimacy of the Vatican papal claimants since 1958, there is really nothing these people believe or do that could be characterized as "submitting" to them. They ignore, reject, and explain away the teachings, disciplinary norms, canonizations, and other acts of these "Popes" whenever they deem them to be in contradiction to pre-Vatican II papal teaching. In other words, they submit to some Popes and magisterial acts but not others. The ultimate criterion for truth and error is not the Holy See, but themselves. The practical result of this is that they habitually ignore the "Pope" and the "Magisterium" and simply do "their own thing on the side," yet always insisting, of course, that the Vatican II Church's hierarchy is legitimate (all the evil gets blamed on some nebulous "human element" of the Church that remains conveniently undefined) and that anyone who says otherwise is expressing a "patent absurdity" or "attacking the papacy." We have written extensively about this in the past, and there is no need to repeat it all in this post — instead, please see the following links:
Comedy Hour with John Salza: Dissecting his Interview on Papal Authority
Reply to Fr. Francois Chazal on Sedevacantism
Responding to Bp. Williamson's Argument against Sedevacantism (Part 1)
The Chair is Still Empty: Response to John Salza's Attempts to Refute Sedevacantism
Stumbling at the Finish Line: The SSPX's Illogical Stance on the Pope
While we totally understand why they ignore and reject the "Popes" and "magisterial" acts since 1958, we must remind people that a Catholic cannot act in this way with regard to the true Church and a true Pope. In other words, what these Semi-Traditionalists are doing is at grave odds with traditional Catholic teaching and practice (hence we call them "Semi-Traditionalists", as they follow Catholic Tradition only in part), and it is obviously a contradiction to say one is promoting traditional Catholicism but then holds beliefs and engages in practices so manifestly anti-traditional. In short: These people need to put their money where their mouth is. If Francis is such a valid Pope for them, then let them submit to him the way Catholic teaching requires them to submit to a true Pope — as explained precisely, for example, by Pope Leo XIII, who denounced the kind of thing The Remnant, Catholic Family News, The Angelus, and other Semi-Traditionalist publications do on a habitual basis, namely, criticizing their (supposed) lawful superiors and picking and choosing what to accept from what they believe to be the Catholic Church:
Pope Leo XIII, Apostolic Letter Epistola Tua (1885)
Pope Leo XIII, Apostolic Letter Est Sane Molestum (1888)
It is really important to read both papal letters in their entirety, but for those who can't or won't, we'd like to call attention to the following highlights. Pope Leo insisted:
"No, it cannot be permitted that laymen who profess to be Catholic should go so far as openly to arrogate to themselves in the columns of a newspaper, the right to denounce, and to find fault, with the greatest license and according to their own good pleasure, with every sort of person, not excepting bishops, and think that with the single exception of matters of faith they are allowed to entertain any opinion which may please them and exercise the right to judge everyone after their own fashion." (Est Sane Molestum)
"...to scrutinize the actions of a bishop, to criticize them, does not belong to individual Catholics, but concerns only those who, in the sacred hierarchy, have a superior power; above all, it concerns the Supreme Pontiff...." (Est Sane Molestum)
"That obligation, if it is generally incumbent on all, is, you may indeed say, especially pressing upon journalists.... The task pertaining to them ... is this: to be subject completely in mind and will, just as all the other faithful are, to their own bishops and to the Roman Pontiff; to follow and make known their teachings; to be fully and willingly subservient to their influence; and to reverence their precepts and assure that they are respected." (Epistola Tua)
"To the shepherds alone was given all power to teach, to judge, to direct; on the faithful was imposed the duty of following their teaching, of submitting with docility to their judgment, and of allowing themselves to be governed, corrected, and guided by them in the way of salvation. Thus, it is an absolute necessity for the simple faithful to submit in mind and heart to their own pastors, and for the latter to submit with them to the Head and Supreme Pastor." (Epistola Tua)
"...it is to give proof of a submission which is far from sincere to set up some kind of opposition between one Pontiff and another. Those who, faced with two differing directives, reject the present one to hold to the past, are not giving proof of obedience to the authority which has the right and duty to guide them; and in some ways they resemble those who, on receiving a condemnation, would wish to appeal to a future council, or to a Pope who is better informed." (Epistola Tua)
Bam! This, ladies and gentlemen, is the traditional Catholic teaching regarding submission to the Pope and the lawful hierarchy, as explained by the Pope himself, Leo XIII, who reigned after the First Vatican Council, which spoke on papal authority, infallibility, and the required submission of the faithful. We guarantee you that you're not going to find the semi-trads promoting this traditional teaching anytime soon, at least not without essentially explaining it away and rendering it meaningless. In fact, Ferrara's write-up, though brilliant in its style and its rhetoric, is filled with more of the typical argumentation we've come to expect from this lawyer, who is professionally trained in the art of persuasion. In place of sound reasoning based on Catholic theological principles, Ferrara likes to spin things in such a way as not to have to draw any undesirable conclusions, while at the same time allowing himself to powerfully blast the errors of the Modernist church. For example, though explicitly condeming Kasper as a "blatant heretic", Ferrara won't draw the necessary conclusion that Kasper is not a member of the Catholic Church, nor will he put the same label on Francis, who has said and done things as bad as or worse than Kasper and has endorsed Kasper's theology specifically in the context of the forthcoming synod on the family. (When talking about the "Pope", Ferrara avoids explicit labels like "heretic" and "heretical" like the plague, instead preferring more neutral terms like "astonishing" to describe Francis' Modernist claptrap — see an example here, where he refers to Francis' condemnation of proselytism and his insinuation of the possibility of salvation for unrepentant atheists as merely "a series of astonishing pronouncements." How convenient! In addition, what happened to the "official church judgment" Ferrara & Co. like to require when it comes to the question of whether we can say the "Pope" is a heretic — is it somehow not also needed for "Cardinal" Kasper?) Likewise, Ferrara admits that Francis' errors are not only confined to spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks but are even found in "a formal papal document", namely, the above-cited Evangelii Gaudium. However — and this is the lawyerly trick — he then insinuates that this "formal papal document" is of "dubious … authority", though of course he does not at all explain why or how. We hate to break it to Mr. Ferrara, but this isn't Burger King, where you can have it "your way": If Francis is Pope, then Evangelii Gaudium is exactly what it claims to be: an Apostolic Exhortation by the Successor of St. Peter, to whom all Catholics owe complete submission and to whose documents and teachings all must assent under pain of mortal sin (cf. Pope Pius XII, Encyclical Humani Generis, n. 20). We're sorry if this doesn't fit into Ferrara's pseudo-Catholic resistance theology, but we don't consider ourselves authorized to change traditional Catholic teaching just because we don't want to conclude that Francis cannot be the Pope. It is also quite amusing that Ferrara now bewails "the moment that Francis, emerging from the Conclave, referred to himself as merely 'the Bishop of Rome' on the balcony of St. Peter's", because when Ferrara covered the election of Jorge Bergoglio with "Fr." Nicholas Gruner in March of 2013, we heard nothing but praise and joy from the professional pundit. Here is the video, in which Ferrara also gushes over Francis' supposed "humility":

For more Ferrara flip-flopping, see this post here, under "The Experts Speak." At the end of his article, and not unpredictably, Ferrara pulls the "joker", the one-size-fits-all wildcard that forms the bedrock principle of the resistance theology: "diabolical disorientation." This phrase was coined by a woman claiming to be (most likely falsely) Sr. Lucia of Fatima, and refers to a nebulous concept she never actually defined (nor, of course, is it found in any theological manual or catechism). However, it is such an appealing and easy-to-remember term that, due to its vagueness and rhetorical effect, lends itself perfectly to promoting the "recognize-but-resist" agenda of the Semi-Traditionalists. It allows them to junk anything in the Vatican II Church they oppose, while at the same time giving the impression that the idea is endorsed by the Mother of God, Our Lady of Fatima. Perfect for a lawyer whose job is to persuade! This is the state of the Resistance position today: Catholic teaching is replaced or relativized by a vague and undefined concept, commandeered by laymen at odds with the "Pope", that originates in the words of a nun whose identity cannot even be verified as being actually the woman to whom Our Lady appeared in 1917. You can probably imagine what a true Catholic Pope would say about this kind of theological concept, especially in light of Pope Leo XIII's teaching quoted above. Where will the petition go? Nowhere, of course. And they know it.
Michael Matt out gathering signatures for his "Stop the Synod" petition? (Taken from Michael Davies, For Altar and Throne, p. 47, Remnant Press, 1997)
'The Remnant' pleads: "Stop the Synod!", Launches Petition Drive
Good Luck with that…
It's already mid-August, and the Neo-Traditionalists at The Remnant know very well that the writing is on the wall: The synod of "bishops" planned for October in Rome, in which the Vatican II Sect will, among other things, try to find a "pastoral solution" to the problem of public adulterers wanting to receive the Novus Ordo sacraments, is most likely going to unleash a doctrinal and moral earthquake that will make Francis' absurd "pontificate" up until now look like the Medieval Inquisition. There has even been talk of changing the "language" of the natural moral law, which is a clear pretext for changing or abolishing the concept entirely.
If Francis' glowing endorsement of the apostate "cardinal" Walter Kasper's outline for permitting adulterers to receive the sacraments is any indication, Novus Ordo Traditionalists are in for some real trouble. The Remnantknows it and is now seriously trying to stop the synod, by means of a petition to the Vatican, which they have made available also online:
The accompanying text, written by Christopher A. Ferrara, is right on the money, of course, in terms of pointing out what is wrong with the Modernist Vatican's planned October Revolution and the false theology behind it, and how everyone who calls himself a Catholic must vigorously oppose it. Yet, Ferrara & Co. really have no cause to complain: You get the "Pope" you are willing to accept. They accept a public non-Catholic as their Pope, so now they have to face the consequences: They must now deal with a man who also practices the non-Catholic religion he professes. Don't like it? Too bad: False principles have consequences.
Of course, for an American lay-run "Catholic" newspaper to collect signatures to present to the "Holy Father" to convince him to call off the synod he has scheduled for October (and at the end of which the wicked Paul VI will be "beatified"), is downright laughable. Surely the editor of the paper (Michael Matt) and its columnists must know this, but we suspect that their determination to launch this silly petition drive anyway is a testimony to the utter desperation that has begun to set in in their camp. (Though of course this will also have a welcome advertising effect for the paper, which seems to be struggling financially.)
Just how do they envision their petition being successful? Do they really think that one fine morning, Francis will be presented with, say, 124,000 signatures on a "Why we oppose the Synod" document, and he will then say, "You know what, I hadn't thought of that — these good people at The Remnant have a point…. We better not have the synod after all; it's too dangerous and not really needed. Oscar, call off the synod!"
Seriously? This is the same Jorge Bergoglio who calls people like Matt & Ferrara "self-absorbed Promethean neo-pelagians" (see Evangelii Gaudium, n. 94), so what's the point of this ludicrous idea of a tiny minority of "Catholics" petitioning the Vatican not to go ahead with this highly-anticipated event? And isn't it ironic that The Remnant is seeking clergy and laity to sign and support a petition to the Vatican, while in the same breath denouncing the idea of a church run by the democratic "will of the people of God"? How is what they are doing any different from what Ferrara here criticizes the Vatican and Novus Ordo bishops for doing, that is, mobilizing the people to effect change in Rome?
Needless to say, the petition will fail. The synod will continue as planned, and it will be disastrous.
But to many Novus Ordo Trads — the people to whom we sometimes refer as Semi-Traditionalists, Neo-Traditionalists, or Pseudo-Traditionalists — even a synod-gone-wild won't matter ultimately, because they've long stopped submitting to what they claim is the Holy See anyway. That is, subjectively they have long become genuine schismatics, because they are refusing submission to the man they believe to be the rightful successor of St. Peter, and this certainly constitutes the grave sin of schism (even if it technically does not fulfill the ecclesiastical crime of schism, inasmuch as Francis is not in fact the Roman Pontiff).
Among the most vociferous proponents of this schismatic position we find people like Bp. Richard Williamson, Fr. Peter Scott (SSPX), John Vennari, the people running the Traditio site, and the late "Fr." Gregory Hesse (Matt and Ferrara are a bit more nuanced and less radical in their endorsement of this position). Other than affirming the legitimacy of the Vatican papal claimants since 1958, there is really nothing these people believe or do that could be characterized as "submitting" to them. They ignore, reject, and explain away the teachings, disciplinary norms, canonizations, and other acts of these "Popes" whenever they deem them to be in contradiction to pre-Vatican II papal teaching. In other words, they submit to some Popes and magisterial acts but not others. The ultimate criterion for truth and error is not the Holy See, but themselves.
The practical result of this is that they habitually ignore the "Pope" and the "Magisterium" and simply do "their own thing on the side," yet always insisting, of course, that the Vatican II Church's hierarchy is legitimate (all the evil gets blamed on some nebulous "human element" of the Church that remains conveniently undefined) and that anyone who says otherwise is expressing a "patent absurdity" or "attacking the papacy." We have written extensively about this in the past, and there is no need to repeat it all in this post — instead, please see the following links:
While we totally understand why they ignore and reject the "Popes" and "magisterial" acts since 1958, we must remind people that a Catholic cannot act in this way with regard to the true Church and a true Pope. In other words, what these Semi-Traditionalists are doing is at grave odds with traditional Catholic teaching and practice (hence we call them "Semi-Traditionalists", as they follow Catholic Tradition only in part), and it is obviously a contradiction to say one is promoting traditional Catholicism but then holds beliefs and engages in practices so manifestly anti-traditional.
In short: These people need to put their money where their mouth is. If Francis is such a valid Pope for them, then let them submit to him the way Catholic teaching requires them to submit to a true Pope — as explained precisely, for example, by Pope Leo XIII, who denounced the kind of thing The Remnant, Catholic Family News, The Angelus, and other Semi-Traditionalist publications do on a habitual basis, namely, criticizing their (supposed) lawful superiors and picking and choosing what to accept from what they believe to be the Catholic Church:
"No, it cannot be permitted that laymen who profess to be Catholic should go so far as openly to arrogate to themselves in the columns of a newspaper, the right to denounce, and to find fault, with the greatest license and according to their own good pleasure, with every sort of person, not excepting bishops, and think that with the single exception of matters of faith they are allowed to entertain any opinion which may please them and exercise the right to judge everyone after their own fashion." (Est Sane Molestum)
"…to scrutinize the actions of a bishop, to criticize them, does not belong to individual Catholics, but concerns only those who, in the sacred hierarchy, have a superior power; above all, it concerns the Supreme Pontiff…." (Est Sane Molestum)
"That obligation, if it is generally incumbent on all, is, you may indeed say, especially pressing upon journalists…. The task pertaining to them … is this: to be subject completely in mind and will, just as all the other faithful are, to their own bishops and to the Roman Pontiff; to follow and make known their teachings; to be fully and willingly subservient to their influence; and to reverence their precepts and assure that they are respected." (Epistola Tua)
"To the shepherds alone was given all power to teach, to judge, to direct; on the faithful was imposed the duty of following their teaching, of submitting with docility to their judgment, and of allowing themselves to be governed, corrected, and guided by them in the way of salvation. Thus, it is an absolute necessity for the simple faithful to submit in mind and heart to their own pastors, and for the latter to submit with them to the Head and Supreme Pastor." (Epistola Tua)
"…it is to give proof of a submission which is far from sincere to set up some kind of opposition between one Pontiff and another. Those who, faced with two differing directives, reject the present one to hold to the past, are not giving proof of obedience to the authority which has the right and duty to guide them; and in some ways they resemble those who, on receiving a condemnation, would wish to appeal to a future council, or to a Pope who is better informed." (Epistola Tua)
Bam! This, ladies and gentlemen, is the traditional Catholic teaching regarding submission to the Pope and the lawful hierarchy, as explained by the Pope himself, Leo XIII, who reigned after the First Vatican Council, which spoke on papal authority, infallibility, and the required submission of the faithful. We guarantee you that you're not going to find the semi-trads promoting this traditional teaching anytime soon, at least not without essentially explaining it away and rendering it meaningless.
In fact, Ferrara's write-up, though brilliant in its style and its rhetoric, is filled with more of the typical argumentation we've come to expect from this lawyer, who is professionally trained in the art of persuasion. In place of sound reasoning based on Catholic theological principles, Ferrara likes to spin things in such a way as not to have to draw any undesirable conclusions, while at the same time allowing himself to powerfully blast the errors of the Modernist church.
For example, though explicitly condeming Kasper as a "blatant heretic", Ferrara won't draw the necessary conclusion that Kasper is not a member of the Catholic Church, nor will he put the same label on Francis, who has said and done things as bad as or worse than Kasper and has endorsed Kasper's theology specifically in the context of the forthcoming synod on the family. (When talking about the "Pope", Ferrara avoids explicit labels like "heretic" and "heretical" like the plague, instead preferring more neutral terms like "astonishing" to describe Francis' Modernist claptrap — see an example here, where he refers to Francis' condemnation of proselytism and his insinuation of the possibility of salvation for unrepentant atheists as merely "a series of astonishing pronouncements." How convenient! In addition, what happened to the "official church judgment" Ferrara & Co. like to require when it comes to the question of whether we can say the "Pope" is a heretic — is it somehow not also needed for "Cardinal" Kasper?)
Likewise, Ferrara admits that Francis' errors are not only confined to spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks but are even found in "a formal papal document", namely, the above-cited Evangelii Gaudium. However — and this is the lawyerly trick — he then insinuates that this "formal papal document" is of "dubious … authority", though of course he does not at all explain why or how.
We hate to break it to Mr. Ferrara, but this isn't Burger King, where you can have it "your way": If Francis is Pope, then Evangelii Gaudium is exactly what it claims to be: an Apostolic Exhortation by the Successor of St. Peter, to whom all Catholics owe complete submission and to whose documents and teachings all must assent under pain of mortal sin (cf.

At the end of his article, and not unpredictably, Ferrara pulls the "joker", the one-size-fits-all wildcard that forms the bedrock principle of the resistance theology: "diabolical disorientation."

China sent fighter jets to the newly claimed defense ID zone after Japan enter that area in a military exercise with the U.S. and South Korea. The U.S. flew two unarmed B-52 bombers into the area earlier without filing flight plans or informing China.
The newly claimed defense ID zone included areas of the disputed islands which both countries have claimed as theirs. The disputed island is known as Senkaku by Japan and Diaoyu by China. Japan's military said they will continue to patrol over the area despite Beijing's claim of the new zone. The People's Liberation Army Air Force flew Russian-developed Su-30 and Chinese-made J-11 jets into the area after the U.S., Japan and South Korea held military exercises in the zone.
The area was frequently used by the U.S. and Japan for military exercises prior to the new claim. Japan has asked its commercial airline not to file flight plans to China when flying in the zone.
China said it reserves the right to take emergency defense measures in the zone but the U.S. and Japan is calling the declaration of the zone as provocation because it's a disputed area.
China said it has launched its only aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, into the South China Sea.
