Maryland Community Lives in Fear Because of MS-13 Gang
A few years ago, President Obama opened the southern border to illegal aliens from Central America, thereby inviting the ultras-violent MS-13 gang into the United States.
(Is it a stretch to call the gang "ultra-violent"? Try this headline from the New York Post (Nov. 22): Decapitated MS-13 victim stabbed 100 times, heart ripped out of chest.)
As Judge Jeanine Pirro remarked on a televised interview:
If you recall they came into this country in 2014 under the Obama administration policy of allowing in those from Central America — El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. I was one of those people saying look, as a DA, MS-13 is from El Salvador; they are without a doubt the most violent gang where initiation involves beating someone to death in front of others. . .
They came into this country, they told Border Patrol — "I'm MS-13, I'm a gang member" — and the Border Patrol could not stop them. They've got all of the indicia of being gang members, all the tats, and they have been allowed into this country. The Obama administration flew them all over.
In the April 2017 video below, Tucker Carlson said that ISIS is "nothing compared to MS-13 . . . unlike ISIS, MS-13 makes it hard to live in certain neighborhoods here in this country. Also unlike ISIS, there are a lot of them. ISIS may have a significant passive support in the U.S. and a lot of us suspect it does, but true active ISIS members — pretty small, maybe a few hundred at most. MS-13, by contrast, has at least 6,000 members."
There have been arrests of MS-13 gangsters, like the 200 rounded up this fall. But with thousands of them in the country, thanks to Obama, getting rid of the crime monsters will take a while.
MS-13 members are apparently into tats.
The Washington Post highlighted the crime crisis on Thursday, with a sob story photo of a crying immigrant, Abigail Bautista — oh wait, she's an illegal alien, as the reader learns later in the article. The Post can't bother to find a citizen who has been harmed by the gang, although there is no shortage.
Here's the original full story in the Washington Post: 'People Here Live in Fear': MS-13 Menaces Prince George's County Community.
The link below has a substantial snip from that article:
'People in fear': MS-13 menaces a community 7 miles from the White House, December 20 2017
It took Abigail Bautista less than a month of living in Langley Park to learn that her new neighborhood in Maryland had its own set of laws, written not in statutes but in gang graffiti and blood.
The Guatemalan mother of five was pushing a cart of merchandise along University Boulevard one winter morning in late 2012 when three young men approached.
"Do you know who we are?" one asked her in Spanish.
Bautista shook her head.
"We are La Mara Salvatrucha," he said. "And here, there are rules."
Pay $60 "rent" per week or there would be trouble, he said. Undocumented and afraid of being deported if she went to police, Bautista began handing over the cash.
She had heard of the international street gang growing up in Central America, where MS-13, as it's known, controls cities through brutality and corruption. But she had lived for the better part of a decade in the United States without crossing its path.
Now, she realized, she'd unwittingly moved into MS-13 territory a mere seven miles from the White House.
As the gang has grown in strength in recent years, so has its sway over communities across the country. From Boston to Northern Virginia to Houston, a string of grisly MS-13 murders has highlighted its resurgence, drawing a response from the White House.
"One by one, we're liberating our American towns," President Trump said this summer in Long Island, where MS-13 has been linked to more than a dozen recent killings.
Left out of Trump's speeches, however, is the fact that most of the gang's victims are not Americans but undocumented immigrants like Bautista. And when it comes to the gang's infamous motto of "kill, rape, control," it's the third — enforced daily through extortion and intimidation — that defines life for some immigrants in places such as Langley Park.
"They are preying on the communities that they are living in," said Michael McElhenny, a supervisory special agent for the FBI in Maryland.
More than a decade after a string of MS-13 killings shook the heavily Latino neighborhood, Langley Park is still struggling to shake off the gang's influence. Despite aggressive policing, the area continues to be plagued by MS-13 drug dealing, prostitution, robbery, extortion and murder, according to court records and interviews with residents, activists, prosecutors and gang experts, as well as local and federal law enforcement officials.
Deputy Chief Sammy Patel of the Prince George's County police said years of anti-gang operations have broken MS-13's "stranglehold" on Langley Park and prevented the spike in killings seen elsewhere.
"We always target MS-13," he said. "They aren't running amok."
Patel said there was a slight decline in violent crime in Langley Park between 2013 and 2016, although he acknowledged that the gang remains active in the neighborhood.
In fact, prosecutors consider Langley Park a "hub" of MS-13 activity and say the gang was likely responsible for all five slayings there in the past four years.
Bautista wasn't the only one extorted by MS-13.
One of her neighbors was told to pay the gang or she'd find her husband's body in a dumpster. Another said she was given days to come up with $1,500 earlier this year or MS-13 would k!ll her children in Central America.

My wife asked me for some rough LOC numbers on the WebKit project and I think I could share them with you here as well. They come from r221232. As I'll take into account some generated code it is relevant to mention that I built WebKitGTK+ with the default CMake options.
And this is all. Remember that these are just some rough statistics, not a "scientific" paper.
In her expert opinion, in the WebKit project we are devoting around 50% of the total LOC to testing, which makes it a software engineering "textbook" project regarding testing and I think we can be proud of it!


It is important for a property owner to consult with an experienced condemnation attorney as soon as you are informed that the government plans to acquire your property. In eminent domain, also known as condemnation, the government is your adversary seeking to acquire your property which may potentially harm your business, development potential, investment or home. Owners' Counsel attorneys have the requisite experience to analyze your situation and advise a course of action to protect your property rights.
When the government makes initial contact with a property owner, there may be several critical issues to be addressed. For example, what should the property owner's response be when the government requests to perform environmental testing? How should the owner respond when his opinion of value is asked before any offer has been made? What should the owner reveal about his business or property replacement needs at the initial meeting with the government representative? What should the owner's response be when the government wishes to send an appraiser or surveyor to the property to inspect the premises and obtain documents? The answer to each of these questions may impact the outcome of any negotiations or eminent domain litigation that follows.
As the property owner or business owner, your initial decisions can improve or weaken your outcome. Eminent domain policies, procedures and legal precedent are complex, requiring the skills of an experienced eminent domain attorney. From pre-condemnation planning, to challenging the right to take, to determining just compensation, these are the everyday issues handled by Owners' Counsel attorneys. OCA lawyers practice is nearly every state across the country. They have a unique understanding of and experience with the laws, procedures and issues specific to your state.
The government has knowledgeable condemnation attorneys on its side, who will you have on your side?

Europe unveils 20-year plan for brilliant future in astronomy
Europe is a leader in astronomy today, with the world's most successful optical observatory, ESO's Very Large Telescope, and cutting-edge facilities in radio astronomy and in space. In an unprecedented effort demonstrating the potential of European scientific cooperation, all of European astronomy is now joining forces to define the scientific challenges for the future and construct a common plan to address them in a cost-effective manner.
In 2007, a top-level Science Vision was prepared to assess the most burning scientific questions over the next quarter century, ranging from dark energy to life on other planets. European astronomy now presents its Infrastructure Roadmap, a comprehensive 20-year plan to coordinate national and community investments to meet these challenges in a cost-effective manner. The Roadmap not only prioritises the necessary new frontline research facilities from radio telescopes to planetary probes, in space and on the ground, but also considers such key issues as existing facilities, human resources, ICT infrastructure, education and outreach, and cost -- of operations as well as construction.
This bold new initiative -- ASTRONET -- was created by the major European funding agencies with support from the European Commission and is coordinated by the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU) of the CNRS. To build consensus on priorities in a very diverse community, the Science Vision and Roadmap were developed in an open process involving intensive interaction with the community through large open meetings and feedback via e-mail and the web. The result is a plan now backed by astronomers in 28 Member and Associated States of the EU, with over 500 million inhabitants.
Over 60 selected experts from across Europe contributed to the construction of the ASTRONET Roadmap, ensuring that European astronomy has the tools to compete successfully in answering the challenges of the Science Vision. They identified and prioritised a set of new facilities to observe the Universe from radio waves to gamma rays, to open up new ways of probing the cosmos, such as gravitational waves, and to advance in the exploration of our Solar System. In the process, they considered all the elements needed by a successful scientific enterprise, from global-scale cooperation on the largest mega-project to the need for training and recruiting skilled young scientists and engineers.
One of two top-priority large ground-based projects is ESO's European Extremely Large Telescope. Its 42-metre diameter mirror will make the E-ELT the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world -- "the biggest eye on the sky". The science to be done with the E-ELT is extremely exciting and includes studies of exoplanets and discs, galaxy formation and dark energy. ESO Director General Tim de Zeeuw says: "The top ranking of the E-ELT in the Roadmap is a strong endorsement from the European astronomical community. This flagship project will indisputably raise the European scientific, technological and industrial profile".
Among other recommendations, the Roadmap considers how to maximise the future scientific impact of existing facilities in a cost-effective manner. It also identifies a need for better access to state-of-the art computing and laboratory facilities, and for a stronger involvement of European high-tech industry in the development of future facilities. Moreover, success depends critically upon an adequate supply of qualified scientists, and of engineers in fields ranging from IT to optics. Finally, the Roadmap proposes a series of measures to enhance the public understanding of astronomy as a means to boost recruitment in science and technology in schools and universities across Europe.
Europe currently spends approximately €2 billion a year on astronomy in the broadest sense. Implementing the ASTRONET Roadmap will require a funding increase of around 20% -- less than €1 per year per European citizen. Global cooperation will be needed -- and is being planned -- for several of the largest projects.
ASTRONET first developed a Science Vision for European Astronomy (published October 2007), which reviewed and prioritised the main scientific questions that European astronomy should address over the next 10󈞀 years. Based on this effort, the ASTRONET Roadmap was developed primarily on scientific grounds by a Working Group appointed by the ASTRONET Board. Existing and proposed infrastructure projects -- over 100 in all -- were reviewed by three specialist panels of European scientists. Two other panels considered the needs for theory, computing and data archiving, and human resources, including education, recruitment, public outreach and industrial involvement.
The Roadmap addresses projects primarily requiring new funds of €10 million or more from European sources and on which spending decisions are required after 2008. Each project was examined for its potential scientific impact, originality, level of European input, size of the astronomical community that would benefit, and its relevance to advancing European high technology industry. Feedback from the community on an advanced complete draft of the report was invited through both a web-based forum and a large symposium held in Liverpool in June 2008.
Some top-priority projects from the full list are:
Among large-scale projects on the ground:
the European Extremely Large Telescope, by far the largest optical telescope ever to be built, with a 42 m segmented mirror to study the sky in visible and infrared light;
the Square Kilometre Array, a vast radio telescope occupying large parts of a continent. The SKA is being planned by a worldwide consortium.
Scientifically compelling instruments in a lower cost range include:
a 4 m European Solar Telescope, to be based in the Canary Islands;
an array of specialised optical telescopes to detect gamma-ray emission from black holes and other high energy events across the Universe;
an underwater telescope to detect neutrinos -- sub-atomic particles that can pass through the entire Earth and bring information on some of the most violent phenomena in the Universe.
Among the largest space missions proposed for the coming decade, the top priorities for ASTRONET include:
a mission to study gravitational waves from the Big Bang and black holes in the Universe;
an X-ray mission to study galaxies, galaxy clusters, and stars in unprecedented detail;
two proposed missions to study the planets Jupiter and Saturn and their satellites.
Equally challenging, but less costly top-priority space projects include:
a mission designed to unlock the secrets of dark energy and dark matter;
a mission to understand the workings of our own star, the Sun, in greater detail than ever before.

Rest in Peace Kobe and Gigi
Kobe Bean Bryant was an American professional basketball player. A shooting guard, Bryant played his entire 20-season career in the National Basketball Association with the Los Angeles Lakers. He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships.
Kobe Bryant has missed more shots in the regular season than any other player in NBA history. Goes to show - missing is also making .
The helicopter, a Sikorsky S-76 built in 1991, departed John Wayne Airport at 9:06 a.m. Sunday, according to publicly available flight records. The chopper passed over Boyle Heights, near Dodger Stadium, and circled over Glendale during the flight. The crash occurred shortly before 10 a.m. near Las Virgenes Road and Willow Glen Street in Calabasas.
Gianna Bryant
Bryant's daughter was seen as the heir to his basketball legacy and the former Lakers player was dedicated to preparing her for a career in the professional game. Gianna was a fixture at games at the Staples Center with her father and her ambition was to play for the UConn Huskies.
John Altobelli
A former University of Houston baseball player, Altobelli played in Minor League Baseball for the Miami Marlins before embarking on a coaching career with Orange State College, guiding the Pirates to state championships in 2009, 2014, 2015, and 2019. Last year he was named national coach of the year by the American Baseball Coaches Association and won his 700th game in the same season.
Keri Altobelli

Ara Zobayan
The luxury aircraft was being flown by Ara Zobayan, who, according to records was an instrument-rated pilot — meaning he was qualified to fly in fog. Friends were mourning him on social media Sunday night, saying that he taught aspiring helicopter pilots to fly and that he was loved within the aviation community.
TMZ — which first reported Bryant's death — said the helicopter belonged to Bryant, and that the group was en route to the Mamba Sports Academy in nearby Thousand Oaks for a basketball practice when the crash occurred.
Kurt Deetz, a former pilot for Island Express Helicopters, told the Los Angeles Times that the company owns the vehicle. He said flew Bryant from 2014 to 2016, and that 90% of the time, Bryant flew in the helicopter — a favorite of celebrities for its reputation of being comfortable and safe — which went down Sunday morning.
Deetz told the paper he logged more than 1,000 hours piloting the craft and said Bryant favored the model, comparing it to a "a Cadillac; a limousine," that it was in "fantastic" condition, and that Island Express adheres to "a very good maintenance program."
The helicopter took off from John Wayne Airport in Orange County at 9:06 a.m., records show. The crash occurred in foggy conditions.

One of the best interior design ideas is using black trim as a contrast. This one thing can change your home decor look completely. Using black as a strong contrast in otherwise neutral rooms is a great tool to create clean lines and a crisp classic look, no matter what style your home or decor.
Best of all, it's not a complete makeover. Its more like adding frosting on a cake. Refining your look.
A strong exterior black front door can look very sophisticated and matches most house colors. It instantly updates the exterior of your home and gives you added curb appeal. This is an elegant look. You can use water oil based paint or dark metallic paints if you are looking for something more modern.
But beyond the front door, black wallpaper, painted black furniture, lighting or baseboards can all add something classic to your rooms. A room with black wallpaper on all four walls or a room with all matching black furniture is too heavy to look at every day. Finding a balance and a look you are happy to live with for a few years, might take a little research.
Black baseboards were once a startling departure from a regular builder's standard finishes but is now more readily available. If you are doing it yourself, in most cases all you need is black paint. The effect is a home decor look that appears customized and tailored.
I like to think of using trim like 'ribbon'. You need enough to contrast other colors or features of the room, but not too much that the room feels weighed down.
You might settle for a black front door or stair treads, a black stone kitchen bench or a black tile floor in the bathroom. To get chic without gloom here are some ideas you can use for a sophisticated look in your home.
Most of these interior design ideas use black paint which you can add to almost anything, from furniture to stair treads. You can use different textures and materials like stone, tiles, wallpaper and fabric to layer the theme into your decor.
This anchors your room and creates a focal point. You can go beyond a black mantle and hearth to include the wall but an equally dramatic look is by stenciling soft black in a Moroccan tile or hexagon motif. A lot will depend on the size of your room, but it draws your eye to create a focus, and helps other colors in the space to pop.
A large black bookcase can create a focal point, a visual weight in a room where none exists. An instant feature that can be styled to store and display your treasures.
If this seems like too much, consider adding black framed doors to a bookcase, like this Ikea hack below on a white Billy bookcase.
Or you can paint the inside of the bookcase or shelves in black. It's a great way to highlight objects.
Using a black framed door creates drama and contrast for other colors to pop.
Your front door welcomes all who visit and is the perfect background for wreaths. For the best black front door use a high-gloss oil paint unless you prefer a matte look, then you should use a latex paint.
Apply it with a sponge roller for a smooth finish. Latex will give you a lower sheen - even if you apply a glossy polyurethane on top, you won't get the same depth of color as using oil paint.
An entry with an internal black front door and banister are great accents to a mostly white entry or hallway. This is a timeless look that always looks modern and fresh.
These work to frame a room. Don't worry if you have light or gold wooden floors. The contrast will lighten the room, not darken it. It will outline the room and make it look sharper.
Expensive but classic. Black marble never goes out of fashion but there are many other materials you can use to get the same classic look.
Unlike your front door, the ceiling is best painted a flat black, not glossy, so the ceiling disappears. Add a great chandelier or pendant light and you increase the height of your ceilings.
Not for the faint-hearted, black walls or a dark shade of gray create make a huge impact. The trick is to contrast black with lighter colors, for balance and contrast. For a softer effect, use a flat paint.
This look is highly dramatic. It frames the room and needs little more to make a statement.
This is a low-commitment way of introducing black into your room. You can quickly create this look by adding a couple coats of paint to your furniture piece. You can use latex, milk paint or chalk paint. Leave it high shine, matte or distress. Mixing different woods with chairs one color and your table another, work well and help to break up too much black in any one space.
12. Black Wallpaper or DIY Paint?
There are many great effects you can create with wallpaper or paint. If you decide to DIY paint, the effect is the same as expensive black wallpaper. You investment is paint and time.
Black wallpaper can look amazing. It is also easier than repairing or covering less than perfect walls with paint. Imperfections are often exaggerated with glossy paint.
Black is a great addition to any space. It sets a mood, anchor a room and creates drama. These interior design ideas using black as an accent trim perfect for a classic and tailored look never dates.
Decorating my home has become a great source of pleasure over the years, but I must say it is also a challenge at times! You DO keep me "thriving"!!!
Just wanted you to know that and take the time to say: "good job"!
so good to hear from you and I am so pleased to get your email!!
Thanks for taking the time to write... Please let me know if there is something you would like me to write about.
Great Article, i do love using black in my house. It represents the element of Water in Feng Shui and is great for balancing other elements! Use in rooms with plants to get this harmony, the green splashed against the black looks awesome too!

Philosophy is in general understood as "[t]he love, study, or pursuit of wisdom, or of knowledge of things and their causes, whether theoretical or practical."1 It is considered to stem from the Greek noun 'philosophia'.2 This word is often thought to originate from the Greek 'philosophos', which refers to a philosopher. But a philosopher is someone who practises philosophy and general concepts, such as philosophy, should always be taken as more primal than particularities, such as particular philosophers, who only exist as such by the grace of such concepts.3, 4 If there had been no philosophia in ancient Greece then no philosophos would have existed there. So in this contemplation the word 'philosophia', referring to the general concept, shall be taken as primary, and the word 'philosophos', referring to a particular practitioner of the aforementioned concept, shall be taken as stemming from the former. This makes way for a better etymology than is usually academically conducted. Academic etymology works from the word 'philosophos' and considers it to consist of the Greek words 'philos', meaning 'lover', and 'sophos', referring to a wise or a sage, comprising the meaning of 'lover of wisdom'.5 We can see that in this academic etymological analysis the two particularities of the lover and the wise have been taken as points of departure. In contemplative etymology, also mentionable as 'etymosophy', 'philosophia' shall be taken as leading, and it shall be considered as consisting of not particularities but of the more general concepts of 'phil[o]', meaning 'love',6 and 'sophia', meaning 'wisdom'.7 Philosophy as philosophia then can etymosophically be understood as love-wisdom.
Now love-wisdom is a concept which is well known in the ageless wisdom. There love-wisdom is considered as a faculty of the soul in man.8 It is the faculty of the intuition, which is also known under the name 'buddhi'.9 The Sanskrit word 'buddhi' is rooted in the word 'budh', meaning 'awake', and 'budh' is also the root of the word 'buddha', thus connecting 'buddhi' with 'buddha'.10 This corresponds with the ageless wisdom teaching that the Buddha is characterized by the wisdom aspect.11 The Christ added to that wisdom the aspect of love,12 and the faculty of intuition then is also called 'the Christ principle'.13 Thus we see how the Christ principle, buddhi, intuition and love-wisdom all regard the same principle of the soul. And to that list we then should also add philosophy when we read the word as 'philo-sophy', or in Greek 'philo-sophia'. True philosophy is not an academic discipline but rather the faculty of intuition in man. And like the Buddha realized buddhi, and the Christ realized the Christ principle, so does the true philosopher realize philosophy.14 But such a philosopher realizes philosophy as a principle in his heart and not through academic study and graduation.
In the Dutch language academic philosophy is often referred to with a term like 'wisdom-desire' ['wijsbegeerte'] and a practitioner thereof then is called 'wisdom-desirer' ['wijsgeer']. It would have been etymosophically proper when the term 'philosopher' would have been reserved for realizers of buddhi and the Christ-principle, leaving a term like 'wisdom-desirer' for academic scholars. The history of the use of language unfortunately has brought about the present situation where wisdom-desirers are called 'philosophers' as well. This however does not need to stop us from aspiring to become philosophers in the original sense.
May we thus realize true philosophy in our hearts.

Two years ago this month I walked into Conception Abbey to begin a week-long prayer retreat. It was the end of our summer sabbatical and I was wrestling with the dread of unresolved decisions. We sensed what we were being called toward, but we lacked the courage to act. And it was in that week that I dreamed. Sabbatical dreams. Over the past two years I have written out that sabbatical journey. Here is a tiny glimpse into how the week began.
I shivered. The cold air of the basilica was at first a reprieve from the August heat, but now my body was shaking with the shock of the temperature change.
Slowly I continued down the center aisle. The brick floor, grouted with sand, launched a crunching sound with each step in the cavernous space. I wanted to be unnoticed, but every step forward announced my presence.
I had arrived early for evening vespers. Perhaps because I was looking for something. Or bored. Certainly I was alone; both at this moment and in my anxious mind. I continued forward to the fourth row, close enough to be seen as sincere, but not so near that I would be uncomfortable.
As I sat down, a familiar cracking and creaking of the wooden pew echoed through the space. It was a sound embedded in my memory. That sound of the cracking pew and my imagination took me back thirty-eight years. I was once again sitting on the wooden pew of my childhood church. A small chapel on the South Dakota prairie where my parents faithfully attended for many years.
Three times a week we religiously drove the thirty miles. It was a simple place, a gathering of family and a few others who lived scattered across the prairie on small farms. I'm sure there was preaching. But I don't remember it. The liturgy stuck in my memory was the weekly testimony of those gathered. Sincerity wasn't lacking, but joy was hard to find. A fear of the world was woven into most of the stories shared. Prayers were offered from our knees, consisting of loud and fervent petitions for rescue us from the evil world. Stories of signs indicating the end of the world were told with conviction. It was readily assumed we were living in the very last of days. According to Uncle Harry, the perfect red heifer was already in route to Israel. Any prayers for peace or to hope for war to cease, was in some ironic way, thought to be joining the feared anti-christ.
In my young mind, my own future…if there was to be one…was already determined to be miserable and meaningless. If I was hearing correctly, my only hope was to be redeemed by suffering. Persecution was my predetermined future. I began to prepare.
If this was my only memory of church, I'm certain I would have either simply chosen to laugh off the absurdity of religion and prophesy a future of my own, or perhaps I would have sought to spend my life prepping for the mythical end-times in some remote prairie abyss.
But it was the witness and action of my parents that shaped a different way forward. Occasionally in those testimony services there was a tearful moment of honesty. Specifically, a confession of yearning from the voice of my mother. She would stand and begin with words of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the blessings of life. As she spoke, her voice would slowly increase in pitch until it reached the sound of desperation. Tears mixed with words of gratitude. A hodgepodge of sorrow, joy, pain, and hope.
As I sat waiting for the vespers to begin on that August evening, the creaking pew and my Mother's cry filled my mind. Maybe it was what I was looking for; that innate desperation to confront the anxiousness. I too was searching for something deeper, something beyond the religious routine. And in that moment I knew that if I listened, my mother's prophetic cry would begin to lead me home.
Because God is, I am.

Fort Matanzas was built in the mid-1700s to protect the Spanish colony of St Augustine. St Augustine was vulnerable by river access to the south and Fort Matanzas helped the French protect it from the threat of British attacks. At the time, Florida was a much sought after area of the world due to being a profitable shipping lane from the Caribbean. The fort successfully protected St Augustine on multiple occasions and eventually became property of the United States. In 1924, it was declared a national monument.
The construction of Fort Matanzas is interesting to behold as it's made from coquina, a type of limestone that is made of tiny pieces of shells and sand – a likely choice considering the geography of where Fort Matanzas was constructed, but one that can also be quite fragile. Despite that, it has upheld and today visitors can take a ferry to the fort, which is located on Rattlesnake Island and tour the grounds. The ferry has a guide who will tell you about the history of the fort on your way over. Once at the fort, be sure to climb the ladder to the observation level for excellent views of St Augustine and the ocean.
The ferry requires a boarding pass, which you can pick up in the visitor center of Fort Matanzas, located at 8635 A1A South Street in St Augustine. Boarding passes are handed out on a first come, first serve basis so arrive early for the time you want to avoid being disappointed. Ferries leave every hour on the half hour mark. The ferry ride and touring Fort Matanzas are both free. The fort is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Hours: Daily 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Q: Can we prove the inequality without opening the parentheses? $(x+y+z)(xy+yz+xz)(x^2+y^2+z^2)≥6(x^2+y^2+z^2)+3(xy+yz+xz)$
Let, $x,y,z>0$ such that $ xyz=1$, then prove that
$$(x+y+z)(xy+yz+xz)(x^2+y^2+z^2)≥6(x^2+y^2+z^2)+3(xy+yz+xz)$$

I tried to use the following inequalities:
$$x^2+y^2+z^2≥xy+yz+xz$$
and The Cauchy–Schwarz inequality:
$$x^2+y^2+z^2≥\frac{(x+y+z)^2}{3}$$
$$x^2+y^2+z^2≥x+y+z$$
I also tried
$$x+y+z ≥3\\ x^2+y^2+z^2≥3\\ xy+yz+xz≥3$$
But, I couldn't make progress.

I want to solve this inequality without expansion.  That is, without opening the parentheses.  Is this possible?

A: Increase the right hand side to $9(x^2+y^2+z^2)$ by switching $xy+yz+zx$ to $x^2+y^2+z^2$ (Cauchy).
Divide the left hand side by $xyz=1$.
This leads to $(x+y+z)(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})\geq 9$, which is easy to show. Namely, $x+y+z\geq 3\sqrt[3]{xyz}$ by AM-GM and $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}\geq 3/\sqrt[3]{xyz}$ by HM-GM. This also shows that equality holds iff $x=y=z=1$.

A: Rewrite the left hand side as follows:
$$
(x+y+z)(xy+yz+xz)(x^2+y^2+z^2)=
\\
=\left(\frac{2}{3}(x+y+z)(xy+yz+zx)\right)\cdot(x^2+y^2+z^2)+
\\
+\left(\frac{1}{3}(x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2)\right)\cdot(xy+yz+zx).
$$

Any time a firm undertakes a online search engine optimization application, no matter whether it really is performed in-house or outsourced to an Charles Brian International the vast majority of notice (and rightly so) is focused over the organization site. Here is the 1 element in which there's a feeling of control–once an internet site is produced to the wild, the business will have to see how its website fares versus every one of the other web-sites to choose from, whether the other websites are utilizing ethical Seo techniques or not.
To begin with, let's determine rivals. Virtually every enterprise has at the least a few other businesses that it considers to generally be most important competitors–the kinds that promote the same products and providers, that happen to be of comparable measurement, and so on. It's significant the Search engine marketing efforts (or deficiency thereof) of such competition, irrespective of whether they may be using ethical Seo strategies or not, be monitored on the program foundation. Should they haven't hired an Seo service in their individual, or should they have not commenced undertaking Seo in-house at all, you can have comfort being aware of the usage of this channel, to the second, is yours. If the competition start out an Search engine marketing marketing campaign, with or devoid of an out of doors Search engine marketing service, you are able to find out a lot about their revenue and marketing practices by assessing the keyphrases they goal. And you may investigate no matter if they can be working with ethical Web optimization procedures in their marketing campaign.
It is essential to understand that it truly is not likely that searchers will determine only concerning you as well as the principal opponents you've mentioned. They're going to think about any organization that matches their specific wants which reveals up for his or her search term. That's why your criteria for your competitor on the web need to broaden to encompass any organization that provides services or products like yours that outranks you for just about any of your respective focused keyphrases. If your in-house staff members or your Seo company not just continually displays your quest motor positions and also analyzes the companies that seem higher than you in lookup effects, you are able to typically detect forward-looking competitors of which you have been beforehand unaware–your primary rivals of tomorrow.

In your honor is het vijfde studioalbum van de rockgroep Foo Fighters, door RCA uitgebracht op 13 juni 2005. Het is het op twee na best verkochte album sinds The colour and the shape uit 1997. Dit album bestaat uit twee cd's: de eerste cd bestaat uit rockmuziek en de tweede staat vol met akoestische nummers.

Achtergrondinformatie
Verschillende nummers op de tweede cd kennen gastoptredens. Zo vulde zangeres Norah Jones de pianopartij in en zong ze in het nummer Virginia moon. Joshua Homme van Queens of the Stone Age speelde gitaar op "Razor" als tegenprestatie, nadat Dave Grohl drumde op het QOTSA album Songs for the deaf. John Paul Jones, bekend als de bassist en toetsenist van Led Zeppelin, vulde de pianopartij in op Miracle en speelde mandoline op Another round. Dit was volgens Grohl een van de mooiste momenten uit zijn carrière, omdat hij een uitzinnige fan is van hen.

Verder maakte Grohl bekend dat Friend of a friend geschreven was voor zijn vrienden van de band waar hij beroemd mee werd Nirvana, frontman Kurt Cobain en bassist Krist Novoselic.

Er is ook een DualDisc versie van dit album. Hierop staat een "making of" documentaire. Hierin vertelt Dave dat In your honor het album is waaraan hij wil dat de band later herinnerd wordt.

Tracklist

Grammy nominaties
Hoewel In your honor het eerste album sinds The colour and the shape is dat geen Grammy Award kreeg, was dit het album met de meeste nominaties (samen met het in 2007 uitgebrachte Echoes, silence, patience & grace). De nominaties waren:
Best Rock Album
Best Rock Song - (Best of you)"
Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals - "Virginia moon"

We were selected by NBK architects on this impressive residential extension project based on our specialist glazing system capabilities. Having looked at our portfolio of glazing systems, NBK elected to use Ottostumm FerroFinestra MTS50TB thermally broken slimline steel system for swing doors, top-hung outward opening sash windows and fixed screens, in a matte-black powder coat finish, which allowed them to achieve the overall aesthetic that they sought in order to keep in line with the original glazing of the existing property and allow the modern extension to tie seamlessly in with the period architecture.
The architect was commissioned to design a large and bright living / dining space for the client with an 'industrial' feel, which was created by utilising exposed steel beams throughout and further enhanced by the Ottostumm glazing systems steel profiles and vintage crank handle highline system for opening the out-of-reach windows sashes.
NBK also used our Sky-Frame frameless sliding door system to create a seemingly invisible transition between the interior of the house and the exterior garden terrace. Sky-Frame is renowned for creating "A view, not a window" and the head, base and jamb tracks of the system are concealed within the building structure to allow for maximum light and minimal frame intrusion. A 3-track telescopic opener with two panes sliding behind the third gave a clear opening in excess of four metres in width. We delivered steel reinforced Sky-Frame 2 double-glazed 28mm wide mullions to satisfy the geometry of the three panes filling the 6.1m wide x 3.07m high opening and windload of 1.3kN/m2.


What are Lignans and where can I find them?
The lignans are a group of chemical compounds found in plants. Plant lignans are polyphenolic substances derived from phenylalaninevia dimerization of substituted cinnamic alcohols (see cinnamic acid), known as monolignols, to a dibenzylbutane skeleton 2. This reaction is catalysed by oxidative enzymes and is often controlled by dirigent proteins.
Plant lignans are co-passengers of dietary fiber, and therefore fiber-rich food items are often good sources of lignans. Flax seed andsesame seed contain higher levels of lignans than most other foods. The principal lignan precursor found in flaxseed issecoisolariciresinol diglucoside. Other sources of lignans include cereals (rye, wheat, oat and barley - rye being the richest source),soybeans, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, and some fruits, particularly apricots and strawberries.
Secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol were the first plant lignans identified in foods. Pinoresinol and lariciresinol are more recently identified plant lignans that contribute substantially to the total dietary lignan intakes. Typically, lariciresinol and pinoresinol contribute about 75% to the total lignan intake whereas secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol contribute only about 25%. This distribution may change as the contributions of syringaresinol and hydroxymatairesinol have not properly been quantified in foods.
A recent study shows the complexity of mammalian lignan precursors in the diet. In the table below are a few examples of the 22 analyzed species and the 24 lignans identified in this study.

Those trying to make sense out of the disintegration of the Church today are nonplussed at why Catholics seemingly well educated in their faith gave up so easily on the unchangeable Church, giving into Vatican II changes and accepting the New Order of the Mass. While there is more than one answer to this question as is often the case, the most plausible answer is the one provided by Rev. Paul Furfey. [1] Writing in 1944, Furfey summed up the problem already at work in his day as follows: "Catholic conformism can be explained only in terms of cowardice…Catholic conformists are Catholics in the sense that they deny no doctrine of the Church outright, and conform as closely as they dare to the viewpoint of unbelievers…" Such conformists, he continued, are "timid Catholics (who) hesitate to assume their normal burden of suffering to accept persecution for the sake of their opinions…" It was Christ's intention, Furfey pointed out, that "Christians make a clean break with the world…and that they should suffer the consequences."
Furfey goes on to list "the variety of cruel punishments" that awaits the Catholic non-conformist. "In some times and in some places the punishment is the prison cell, the concentration camp, or the firing squad…" Other less drastic but equally painful methods include "withholding rewards," connected with worldly success; employing ridicule, "when most persons are terrified of ridicule. It requires a real bit of heroism to stand up for one's convictions when they make one the butt of jokes and insults." And of course there is the general unpleasantness of just being different, and the loneliness that accompanies being opinionated in matters of religion. After all, conformism is rewarded with all the perks of life – companionship, mutual favors, everyday pleasantries, inclusion in social affairs and the endorsement of those in positions to further one's business and social life. And non-conformism results effectively in social exile.
How did Catholics, supposedly trained to be other-Christs and imitate the heroic sanctity of the martyrs, descend to Catholic conformism? The best training in conformism and the herd mentality was offered in public schools, where over 50 percent of Catholics in this country received their education; heroic sanctity, if taught to children at all, was a weekly sidebar offered in CCD classes. In public schools, Horace Mann [2] early on mandated conformism as the best way to assure assimilation of the doctrines taught by public education and enforce the disciplinary codes. Even in many "Catholic" schools, emphasis was placed on the social and political flavor of Catholicism – its external components, not its internal core beliefs. Families failed as well in encouraging the predominance of internal religion and a daily, personal relationship with God. Too often, all emphasis was placed on the superficial and the worldly.
In concluding his explanation of Catholic conformism, Furfey observed that such behavior constitutes a deadly dualism, defined by Pope Pius XI [3] as "moral, juridical and social modernism…Social modernism combines two characteristics: an (outward) profession of loyalty to Catholic social doctrine plus a disregard for the encyclicals as though they were 'out of date.' Would it be rash then to assert that social modernism and Catholic conformism is one and the same thing?" And can we add here that Furfey's description fits both Novus Ordo adherents and Traditionalists alike? A Protestant author defined this social modernism as a sort of "civic idolatry" permeating America even before Vatican II.
Will Herberg and others chronicled the gradual metamorphosis of Catholicism, Protestantism and Judaism into one religion in this country; a religion that kept as its standard the expectations of the State and society in general, not their respective religious beliefs and practices. Herberg [4] had this to say about religious conformism: "The religiousness characteristic of America today…is without serious commitment, without real inner conviction…The very notion of being 'singled out,' of standing 'over against' the world is deeply repugnant to one for whom well-being means conformity and adjustment. Religion is valued as conferring a sense of social acceptability and 'belonging,' a sense of being really and truly of the world and society," when the Catholic knows only too well he must be in the world of necessity, but not of it. "Biblical faith…is a declaration of permanent resistance to the claims of society, community culture and cult…," Herberg continued. Those embracing this conformism he calls "religiosity" protect themselves "against this profoundly disturbing aspect of biblical faith by refusing to understand it…Nonconformity, uncompromising witness are so 'unsociable,' so terribly 'unadjusted'! The very purpose of man's built-in radar apparatus is to protect him against such perils. It protects him so well that it makes the prophetic faith of the Bible almost unintelligible to him."
Speaking on the subject of biblical faith at the Vatican Council in 1869, St. Anthony Mary Claret noted that if those denying the doctrine of infallibility would take the time to study Scripture, the teaching of this doctrine would be clearly seen and understood. The saint then went on to explain why Scripture is not understood, and his explanation applies to Biblical teaching on many other doctrines today as well.
1.) Men do not really LOVE God
2.) They lack humility
3.) Men do not wish to understand Scripture simply because they do not wish the good. [5]
Herberg agreed with the saint, identifying this lack of humility with the rise of secular humanism. In the end, he concluded, it is "not man who serves God, but God who serves man…" Faith is used as "a surefire device to get what we want," be it prosperity, social standing, security or peace of mind. And if this was the case in the 1940s and 1950s, what can we expect today?
Herberg further identified religiosity as "a kind of national messianism…a fusion of religion with national purpose…American culture-religion is the religious aspect of Americanism," and Pope Leo XIII condemned Americanism as a heresy. [6] What Herberg really said is that American Catholics long ago placed their culture and government superior to the teachings and laws of the Church, paying only lip service to Church authorities. The war was lost long ago, and over time obedience to the Pope and Church teaching eroded to the point that allegiance to both placed second, and personal autonomy came first. By the time Vatican II commenced, most American Catholics were only too happy to make concessions to their Protestant brethren in the name of "ecumenism," a high-sounding phrase synonymous with religiosity. Those opposing Vatican II for various reasons made the focal point of their opposition the Tridentine Mass, not the papacy, and so papal authority was dealt yet another deadly blow. Traditionalists, as they styled themselves, soon became known as those "Latin Mass dissidents," a title they declined to contest. As Rev. Denis Fahey pointed out, it was the Reformation that first separated the life of the Christian from that of the citizen. "The principle of private judgment prepared the way for the opposite extreme error of 'holy rebellion,' and the right of the people to overthrow authority whenever it pleases them." [7]
And the separation of the Christian from the citizen, beginning with the triumph of these heresies paved the way for Liberalism, Naturalism and ultimately Modernism. It is this 'holy rebellion' and defiance of all legitimate authority, even that of the civil sector, so zealously practiced by Traditionalists that has desacralized any early intent they ever had to preserve Catholic Tradition and safeguard the faith. Retaining their Americanist flavor, these "Catholics" unleashed their 'holy rebellion' against the very structure of the Church established by Christ Himself. Rather than laboring to discover the solution to the manufactured Church crisis according to the teaching, laws and practices of the Church Herself, they did all in their power to assist Her enemies in their attempts to administer the death blow long planned by Freemasonry, perpetuators of Naturalism. Whether these individuals were secret society members themselves or unwilling dupes, the result was the same.
Rev. Felix Sarda y Salvany [8] defined this rejection of true authority and "love of ease" as an endorsement of the false teaching that "Belief is not imposed by a legitimately and divinely constituted authority, but springs directly and freely from the unrestricted exercise of the individual's reason or caprice upon the subject matter of revelation." This then is the essence of Liberalism as it first appeared in the 19th century. Sarda condemns Liberalism as a grave sin and cites Pope Pius IX's Syllabus of Errors to prove the Church has condemned it as a heresy. Rev. R. J. Meyer, S.J., writing 30 years later agreed that liberalism, "under every form is heresy," but emphasized that "it is worse than simple heresy; for by rejecting the principle of authority, it strikes at the very foundation of faith, and consequently it comprehends under it all possible heresies. It is, therefore, radical and universal heresy." [9] While Meyer's treatment of this subject was brief but complete, Sarda devoted an entire volume to it, delving into every aspect of this destructive error. He carefully explained that it is capable, chameleon-like, of adapting itself to any given situation, time or place, as does Meyer. That it has so adapted to our place and time is all too obvious.
According to Sarda, it was the rise of individualism [10] and especially the majority rule of democracy that paved the way for Liberalism's success. Today, individualism is supreme and human liberty knows no bounds, even going so far as to lay claim to the right to perpetrate all manner of perversion, blasphemy and sacrilege without fear of retribution. This certainly is a far worse situation than existed in Sarda's day, and it has contributed immeasurably to the mutation of Liberalism into an even more insidious form. For today Liberalism has staked its claim in the midst of the sanctuary, the priesthood, the episcopacy — yea even in the Holy Place (Rome, the Vatican) itself. Many see it at work in the Novus Ordo church, where it has made a mockery of authority and uprooted or diluted every doctrine. Sarda warned his readers of this, relating prophetically that Liberal "Catholics" in his time "believed the Church out of date, held back by ultramontanes; but they have hopes that she will in the course of time catch up with the modern spirit of progress…A new theology will be developed more in conformity with the needs of the times, more in harmony with the modern spirit, which makes such large demands upon our 'intellectual liberty.'" Those dripping with the spirit of false tolerance and charity abounded even before the changes wrought by the false V2 council and were only too happy to welcome them. Had they practiced true charity and demanded that these Liberals be run out of the Church; had they erected a vanguard of their own using Catholic Action as a battering ram to defend the Faith, Catholic conformism would have been stopped dead in its tracks. But instead they sweetly gave all the benefit of the doubt, put the best face possible on the heresy practiced by their neighbors and, as Rev. Sarda observed, believed "that all is well." For this reason Sarda devoted his entire book to condemning this deadly false charity precisely to prevent a Vatican II from ever occurring.
Even amongst those who believe themselves to be free of the Novus Ordo contagion, Liberalism reigns unopposed, having successfully accomplished yet another metamorphosis — its absorption, along with Americanism into Modernism, which Pope St. Pius X defined as the "synthesis of all heresies" [11]— to lend itself to the age. While charity now presents in many as something that will not tolerate an acceptance of the Latin Mass and the old ways, because such is not in tune with the Liberal spirit, it nevertheless forfeits the rights of truth, moral teaching and doctrine in favor of those "rights" of Catholics to demand the Sacraments and be led willy-nilly by their pastors. Rather than openly claim themselves capable of understanding doctrines and determining what measures should be taken in the wake of Vatican II, Traditionalists surrendered their reason to floating priests who left the Novus Ordo; they extended a false charity to these unproven and in many cases, bogus clerics. This move followed Liberalist thinking, described by Rev. Sarda as the tendency to compromise, concede and submit rather than defend the faith. There is no doubt that many of the early refugees of the VII debacle truly believed they were observing the virtue of obedience by deferring to these priests. But few turned to private study to assess the situation according to the mind of the Church, even in the face of scandal surrounding certain priests. While this in itself demonstrates a reluctance to abide by all the Church teaches, the real fault lies primarily with self-styled Traditional leaders and clerics.
Author Michael de la Bedoyere, also writing in the 1940s commented on this tendency to blind obedience, noting that the training necessary to execute the high standards of Catholic existence was available to Catholics then and by extension was available to later Catholics in the form of Bedoyere's book. Bedoyere nailed the real problem to the wall when he wrote: "What too often is lacking is the interest and training in APPLYING those standards and knowledge to every circumstance in life. The man of the world HAS to think for himself if he wants to act intelligently at all, for there is no one to think for him; THE CHRISTIAN IS IN DANGER OF NEVER THINKING FOR HIMSELF BECAUSE HE EXPECTS ALL HIS THINKING TO BE DONE FOR HIM…"(The ideal of action) "is not to act just BECAUSE someone else tells one to, but to act for oneself BECAUSE ONE SEES FOR ONESELF, in the light of God's will and the teaching of the Church or one's lawful superior, that the action IS right…" The appeal of Catholic Action, he stated, "is for those who want to use their BRAINS, to those who want to be up and doing SOMETHING to make more sense of their lives." [12]
Bedoyere went on to explain that in a disordered world, Catholics would be tempted to concentrate only on the salvation of their own souls. By refusing to be their brother's 'keeper, they abandoned the duty of charity toward their fellows, focusing on their own spiritual navels instead. This amounted to a flagrant disregard for what many considered the seemingly hopeless command of the Sovereign Pontiffs to reorder the world. "The tendency will be for individuals to blind themselves to the whole complexity of the situation, remaining content instead to 'follow their leaders' along a safer path to be negotiated under expert guidance…Men who know the essential truth will, under these circumstances, tend to avoid making choices in the light of all the circumstances and they will become accustomed to allow their betters to make safe choices for them. They will seek to escape having to grope their way in semi-darkness and surrounded by every obstacle and danger; instead they will look up to the steadier and stronger light…which only reaches to certain, favored spots."
Rev. Sarda noted this same disorder in his day among practical Liberalists, including those calling themselves Catholics. "Like a flock of sheep with closed eyes they follow their leaders, " he wrote. "They know nothing in truth of principles or systems, and did they perceive the perversity of their instructors would perhaps detest them. But deceived by a false cry or shibboleth, they troop docilely after their leaders…disposed to take any form, ready for any folly or absurdity proposed by the leaders." In all fairness, lay Traditionalists were probably the least blamable amongst those held to be Catholic, although they must still take responsibility for learning and defending their faith. Not so, however, their leaders and "pastors" who long ago took the responsibility for these dissidents upon themselves and therefore must be held accountable for any damage done to souls. Upon them falls all the same blame the Church laid at the door of the leaders of the Jews in Christ's time, who knew or had the opportunity to learn that Christ was truly the Son of God, yet deliberately misled those in their care for political or personal reasons.
Eventually certain members did tumble to the perversity of their "pastors" and objecting to abuses, sought out other clerics or groups who often proved little better. Still others determined that such priests had no authority to minister to them or dictate what teachings of the Church yet prevailed and retreated to observe the faith in the privacy of their homes. Yet even these behaviors indicate a distorted and erroneous idea of true authority and its origin, and demonstrate their implicit denial of the Roman Pontiff's supreme authority and perpetual role in the Church. It is as though authority is not restored precisely because heretical error then could be identified and condemned. But even the perceived absence of authority in the Church cannot relieve Catholics of the grave responsibility to profess their faith whenever "silence, subterfuge or their manner of acting" [13] could itself be construed as a denial of the faith. Neo-Liberalists may believe that identifying themselves as Catholics will be enough to fool others. But they nearly always share a number of traits that taken separately would mean little, but taken as a whole reveal a great deal.
Rev. Sarda, Rev. Meyer and later Herberg noted the following qualities exhibited by the original adherents of Liberalism:
• A false sense of piety — pietism, religiosity, devotional practices — that stress the adherence to external trappings of the Church without the necessary interior predispositions, dependent on faith
• A certain worldliness that prefers human respect to an upright conscience and shrinks from being branded as a religious fanatic or kook
• A false idea of true charity; over-emphasizing charity towards one's neighbor at the expense of the love owed first and foremost to God and his Church
• Insistence on the observance of charity by opponents any time their position is attacked as anti-Catholic
• Refusal to accept the pre-eminence of doctrinal truth or amend their position despite irrefutable proofs
• The practice of retreat whenever their stance is assailed or opponents neglect to treat them with the affection and deference they demand
• Intransigence in the face of any attempt to induce them to recant and amend
• Overall, a disdain for anyone's opinion but their own, especially if the opinion of another rests on the absolute necessity of a Universal Head to render a final decision on matters of faith and morals
There is no doubt that these very same qualities are present today, especially among Traditionalists.
Materialism can be fingered as the primary contributing factor in neo-Liberalism – everyone must have every possible and available convenience and labor-saving device; no one must voluntarily remain cold, hungry, hot, depressed, poor, sick, in pain, unemployed and so forth without immediate relief. Suffering of any kind is interpreted as an unnecessary and unprofitable experience and the purpose of pain, mental or physical, is only to find relief as quickly as one can. From childhood even Catholics so-called learn by example to immediately satisfy any whim, any hunger pangs or thirst, to indulge in impulse buying and the tastes of a gourmet, to immediately allay every discomfort and indulge freely in whatever the world has to offer. The drunkards, drug addicts, food addicts and addicts of every other passion are not portrayed as the moral failures they truly are but as "sick" and therefore to be treated only with kindness and compassion, not the firm moral guidance they really need. Why, isn't everyone entitled to a nice life, as nice a life as they can possibly afford and obtain? And isn't the source of this nice-life philosophy the underlying belief by worldlings that life on this earth is the end all, be all and Heaven and Hell only a fairy tale?
The social modernism Pope Pius XI condemned was that very application of materialistic and modernistic standards to the practice of the Catholic faith spoken of by Herberg. The "what's in it for me" Catholics of the post-Vatican II era thought nothing of spending four to six years in a secular college or university (or at least two years in a technical school, for the less academically inclined) to adequately equip themselves to enjoy the good life they were entitled to live. Cramming night after night in their apartments or dorms was something normal and expected, even if the subjects they studied would never enjoy a practical use again or would be used only to satisfy the requirements of a particular course. The object was money and security; social standing and "normalcy." Yet in the midst of the most devastating crisis the Church ever endured, these same Catholics, especially those styling themselves as priests, strenuously objected when it was suggested they spend ANY length of time studying their religion, offering excuses by the dozens. This knowing full well that the promised reward was their eternal salvation. "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth…but treasures in heaven…For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also," (Matt. 6:19-21).
How many have complained that the language of religion is so stuffy and complicated they cannot possibly be expected to understand it? Yet only the next day these same individuals will apply themselves to some technically complicated diagram or legal document; the intricacies of political debate, finance, or some criminal or psychological article or hypothesis more useful or pleasing to them. The infallible magisterium of the Church has assured us that "The external arguments of revelation…have been especially accommodated to the intelligence of ALL AGES AND ALL MEN (and) the doctrine of faith transmitted from the apostles through the orthodox fathers (must be accepted) always in the same sense and interpretation," (Pope St. Pius X's Oath Against Modernism, DZ 2145). The efforts of the Novus Ordo church to simplify the wording and application of everything to suit the tastes of man, including the publication of "see Dick run" versions of the Bible and catechisms, (not to mention the Novus Ordo Missae devoid of its "antiquated" Latin), resulted in the very doctrinal attenuation they intended. If the language of the Church and the ardors of studying the faith were too difficult for man, why certainly the rigors of such things as Canon Law concerning the laity and the taxing requirements of the marriage bond must be attenuated. This was, as Herberg duly noted, the insistence of man that God descend to his level and serve him. Certainly doctrine must be explainable to the less educated, and the Church has always seen that it was. But Her laws do not excuse those clerics and lay leaders bold enough to teach error as truth or those pleading (affected) ignorance while in reality practicing spiritual sloth. Catholics, sadly, have pertinaciously refused to give God, literally, the time of day. And if they cannot even be enticed to do so by the promise of an eternal reward of inestimable value, if they violate the teachings of the very Church they profess membership in, how can they possibly be members in good standing and even claim to be Christian?
The world, the flesh and the Devil have always been the archenemies of Christianity, but now Traditionalists embrace these three dangers with open arms. They are scarcely aware of the teachings of the encyclicals, nor can it be said they truly care what previous popes may have taught as long as their current priest okays what goes on in the present. One of their most prized new material comforts of the present age is the relief from any requirement to exert themselves in the study of their faith or practice of its tenets. But as Rev. Adolphe Tanquerey has pointed out, "We must submit ourselves with childlike docility to the teachings of faith…We submit our judgment not only to the truths of faith, but to the directions of the Holy See…We must study before all else not what is pleasing but what is profitable…In order to discipline the mind we must study what is most necessary, with the desire to know and love the truth and to live by it…As St. Augustine tells us, knowledge should be put to the service of love: 'Let knowledge be used in order to erect the structure of charity.'" [14] True charity cannot exist outside the truths of faith, which is why Catholics today cannot possess it, and without it, cannot possess the kingdom of Heaven. God help the person who suggests Traditionalists move from their comfort zone and exert any self-discipline in order to study and conform themselves to the truth. Conformism to the age in all things, even if it includes the attenuation of Catholic doctrine, is the order of the day. This is modernism in all its forms: Modernism, Liberalism, the Traditionalism of Bonnetty and the Fideism of Lammenais. [15] The fusion of these four heresies deserves a definition and condemnation all its own, and false Traditionalism, as Bonnetty's error is described must be included in the mix. For false Traditionalism joins the pretension of an inability to think and reason for themselves with the errors described first by Pope St. Pius X, and later by Pope Pius XI, affording the perfect rationalization for those unwilling to do their duties as Catholics.
St. Augustine [16] quotes St. Paul as follows: "All who want to live piously in Christ will suffer persecutions," (2 Tim., 3:12). As the great spiritual master Rev. Baltazar Alvarez, S.J. observed: "Heaven is the homeland of the persecuted and oppressed." [17] The nice, safe life desired by those who cast off their religious affiliations like a coat grown too uncomfortably warm when the heat is on is only an illusion, and the author of that illusion is the Devil, himself. "In evil days like these, the Church walks onward like a wayfarer stricken by the world's hostility, but comforted by the mercy of God," St Augustine wrote. "Nor does this state of affairs date only from the days of Christ's and His Apostles' presence on earth. It was never any different from the days the first just man, Abel, was slain by his ungodly brother. So it shall be until the end of the world." The two cities, that of man and the world and that of God have ever been at odds; they cannot help but be so, since they represent good and evil. In order to serve God, one must be willing to be classified as a geek, nerd, oddball, fanatic, zealot, Jesus freak or whatever other unpleasant epithets might currently be in vogue. It is true that when the earth was not yet so evil, one who led a pious life could also enjoy a modicum of earthly pleasure. But always in times of crisis and/or change, when Catholics were called upon to render to God or to Caesar, the line was drawn. For those who believe we live in the Latter Days, it seems impossible that persecution, privation, suffering and ridicule should not be expected and even welcomed as certain signs that those exposed to these trials are God's own. That this selection is so little prized is a sure sign that the world, not God, has won; at least temporarily.
While most of these topics have been covered at length elsewhere, one fundamental cause of all the above is overlooked. Piety, wisdom, understanding, long suffering, counsel, fortitude, fear of the Lord are the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and they are the very gifts that would prevent the evils of conformism and materialism from taking root in the Catholic soul. It must be remembered that the Holy Ghost departs from the soul of the sinner in a perpetual state of mortal sin. It is impossible for one in such a state to attain to virtue, although they are able to pray for deliverance from their predicament, given they are aware of it. This then is the essence of St. Paul's "operation of error, to believe lying," [18] for he tells us that such people cannot be saved. Their sins are those sins against the Holy Ghost: presumption of God's mercy, tempting God and willful ignorance, all leading to the dreaded state of final impenitence. Having rejected the Holy Ghost, just as the Israelites of old refused any more to be guided by the Shekinah, the Holy Ghost has finally departed forever and will not return. Rev. John Kearney [19] wrote that the Catholic faith, once deliberately rejected requires a near miracle to regain. It was the Israelites who ignored and slew the prophets in Old Testament times and the Pharisees who rejected Christ's mission as Messiah. Traditional Catholics posing as clergy have allowed their followers to reject the necessity of the papacy (which is nothing more than perpetual guidance of the Church by the Holy Ghost, since the prophets foreshadowed the popes), and obstinately impede the restoration of Christ's Church.
As it was in the beginning, so it shall be in the end, just as St. Augustine said. We cannot obstruct the fulfillment of Holy Scripture, as Christ reminded St. Peter when he severed the ear of the high priest Caiphas' servant. But we do have the obligation to defend our faith and the right to demand that the Church be allowed to exercise Her temporal powers. The Church has provided for these times, despite what some believe. Let us gladly go forth together to meet the persecutions and guffaws that await us.
