Catholic Bishops to stop funding ACORN
2008-10-21 07:54:00 If you steal a million bucks, and don’t tell anyone, is it a crime? Well, maybe, say the Catholic bishops, especially if it might be some of our antipoverty money. It seems that the Catholic Bishop’s “poverty” charity, the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development”, has been giving a million bucks or so each year to ACORN. No big ...

A Sport For Kings?And Rooks?And Bishops?And, Boxers?
2008-07-22 03:23:00 I recently read (in more than one place, which means it?s really important) about a new sport. Or possibly it?s a sport that?s been around for a while but no one knows about it. I know I certainly didn?t. Are you ready? It?s called Chess Boxing. When I first heard about it, I just assumed that boxers dressed up like certain chess pieces and could only move around the boxing ring in the manner that was allowed for the particular chess piece they were portraying, but then some have accused me of having an overactive imagination.It turns out that chess boxing is exactly what it says. It?s a round of boxing followed by a round of chess. That?s right, the competitors physically box and then beat the rook to pawn 4 out of each other and then sit down to play another round of chess, then take a quick break and start boxing again. While it seems like the perfect Hanz N Franz SNL skit (?don?t be such a girly pawn?), it?s a real deal sporting event. You could say it?s pugilistic pawn...
Bishops criticise Anglican leader
2008-06-23 00:02:00 BBC says, " Conservative Anglican leaders have opened talks in Jerusalem on the future of the Church with criticism of its leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury.The Archbishops of Nigeria and Uganda attacked his failure to discipline the US Episcopal Church for consecrating an openly gay bishop in 2003.The 300 bishops are meeting to discuss the future of the worldwide Anglican Communion, amid fears of a split.Many of them say liberals are rewriting the Bible to fit modern trends."The Communion is in a state of brokenness," said Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola at the opening of the Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon), which brings together conservative Anglican leaders, many from developing countries. BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Piggot, who is at the conference, says the talks are in effect a rival to next month's Lambeth Conference - a 10-yearly gathering of Anglican bishops from all over the world.Many attending the Jerusalem talks have threatened to boycott...

Bishops for blasphemy
2008-03-06 11:52:00 The BBC website seems to have ignored yesterday's House of Lord's decision to abolish the blasphemy laws. Another drip in the flow of secularisation. Some worthless bishops even voted for abolition. With bishops like that the C of E has its own fifth column at its head. I could never be an Anglican. It is hard enough to be English.

As the Bishops Say it (duhh!)
2008-02-15 16:25:00 This morning was a very cold one in a time of the year when everyone expects a hotter weather due to the coming summer. The coldness of air was sharp and pierced through my skin sending shivers down to my spine.However, weather is not attuned with the report over the radio with some Catholic bishops asking the populace for "communal action" against the pervading controversy of NBN ZTE Deal. When interviewed, the bishop of Tuguegarao clarified that "communal action" meant "praying with faith for change". The coldness in my skin turned into hot blood rushing into my head. Furthermore, he said that the Catholic Church is not involving itself into any political action against the great societal issue at hand and asks everyone to "pray".In this times of immorality and a society full of lies and deception, the late Cardinal sin comes into mind in so many Filipinos because of his activism in the pulpit. His burning zeal for democracy and social justice toppled the strongman doing it i...

CSI Scotland: Six bodies identified as six bishops
2007-12-17 19:56:00 Skull of Bishop Henry (d. 1293), Augustinian abbot and bishop, most notable for holding the positions of Abbot of Holyrood [1236 - 1253 or1255] and Bishop of Galloway [1253?1293]. Archaeologists have successfully identified the remains of six medieval bishops of Whithorn who died between 1200-1360.The bones had been discovered during the 1957-67 excavation at Whithorn Priory but who they belonged to was a mystery.The bishops were in an especially holy area between the high altar and the shrine of St Ninian ? the man credited with bringing Christianity to what later became Scotland.Radiocarbon dating helped identify the graves of bishops Walter (d. 1235), Henry (d. 1293), Michael (d. 1359) and Thomas (d. 1362).Analysis also showed that Bishop Henry had been suffering from tooth abcesses.Other bishops identified were Gilbert (d. 1253) and Michael (d. 1359).One of the most impressive finds from the excavation was of a gilded and enamelled crozier head of a type that dates from around 1...

News & Current Events :: Anglican Panel Says Episcopal Bishops Met Directiv
2007-10-05 12:22:00 Author: Eric Subject: Anglican Panel Says Episcopal Bishops Met DirectivePosted: Fri Oct 05, 2007 6:22 am (GMT -4) Anglican Panel Says Episcopal Bishops Met Directive Lillian Kwon A high-ranking Anglican panel acknowledged Wednesday the effort of Episcopal bishops to keep the worldwide Anglican family together and said they have complied with a directive by Anglican leaders on gay bishops and same-sex unions. "We believe that The Episcopal Church has clarified all outstanding questions," stated the advisory report from the lay-clergy Joint Standing Committee. The report was written for the Anglican Communion’s spiritual leader, Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, who is struggling to prevent a schism in the 77-million-member global church body. The Episcopal Church is the U.S. branch of Anglicanism and deepened divisions in the Anglican Communion when it consecrated openly gay bishop V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire in 2003. Anglican leaders set a S...
Catholic bishops 'thank God' that Abalos has quit
2007-10-02 04:28:00 By Nikko DizonMANILA, Philippines—The country's Catholic bishops have thanked God that Commission on Elections Chairman Benjamin Abalos, Sr. has resigned, saying it was an answer to their prayers. "Thank God Mr. Abalos responded to our prayer. We congratulate the Senate for the inquiry they have done on ZTE-NBN," the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said in a statement signed by Iloilo Archbishop Angel Lagdameo. Following the May midterm elections, the influential CBCP had called for the resignation of Abalos to give way to a more credible Commission on Elections (Comelec). The bishops said that to resign amid threats of an impeachment was the "best decision" that Abalos has made. "It was a short cut. Thank you, Mr. Abalos for your decision," the bishops said. "In other countries, like Japan, when high officials are accused of graft and corruption, they do not wait for any conviction to be pronounced, they simply volunteer to resign. May what Mr. Abalos h...

Must Bishops Be Married?
2007-09-20 00:50:00 I recently received the following question via email: I wonder if I could ask a question about today's Mass reading, specifically, the First Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy (3:1-13). I was reading my Magnificat just now (it's late, I know...that's my funky retail schedule). Anyway, Saint Paul writes, "Beloved, this saying is trustworthy: whoever aspires to the office of bishop desires a noble task. Therefore, a bishop must be irreproachable, married only once... (insert sound of screeching brakes here!). Saint Paul makes the same comment for deacons.The NAB translation of this passage is actually very good at showing the actual meaning of this passage. Were you to read it in the RSV I think you would be even more confused! I'll explain what I mean below.At first, I thought, this must be something along the lines of the bridegroom analogy, where the bishop or deacon is married to the church. I am probably not explaining that correctly, so I hope you understand.I understand what y...

However, its brutally competitve when I lost my Knight at the beginning of match. And I've been checkmated only less than 15 minutes! Its very unbelievable to me. I'm sure that I have high potential to win because I've used white color pieces in the match and look the picture below, how my King defeated by their Bishop!

A Word From The Bishops
2007-06-04 05:25:00 As a follow up to "One-Note Johnny," here is an excerpt from "Economic Justice for All", a publication put out in 1986 from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops:From the Scriptures and church teaching, we learn that the justice of a society is tested by the treatment of the poor. The justice that was the sign of God's covenant with Israel was measured by how the poor and unprotected - the widow, the orphan, and the stranger - were treated. The kingdom that Jesus proclaimed in his word and ministry excludes no one.Throughout Israel's history and in early Christianity, the poor are agents of God's transforming power. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, therefore he has anointed me. He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor" (Luke 4:18). This was Jesus' first public utterance. Jesus takes the side of those most in need. In the Last Judgment, so dramatically described in Matthew's Gospel, we are told that we will be judged according to how we respond to the hungry, th...

Michigan Bishops call for immigration reform
2007-04-30 21:18:00 The Catholic bishops of Michigan issued a statement Sunday calling for federal immigration reform. Echoing the repeated calls of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI for immigration policies that treat the migrant, regardless of legal status, with dignity, respect and compassion, the Michigan bishops are leaving political ideology aside. I am very pleased to see the Michigan bishops taking a stand against the problematic immigration laws of the United States, especially because they refuse to forget that law always proceeds from morality, which in turn is grounded in the dignity of the human person. Whenever we succumb to the temptation to view the migrant solely in terms of law, we ascribe a primacy of law over and above ethics and the human person when, on the contrary, law is intended to serve ethics and the human person.Here's a snippet of the Detroit News write-up:In their statement, the bishops denounce current immigration law that requires spouses and children of legally auth...

Episcopal Church USA Rejects Primates' Ultimatum on Gay Bishops and Wedding
2007-03-21 11:51:00 The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church USA yesterday issued a pastoral letter expressing their continued desire to remain in the Anglican Communion, but declining to comply with the requests set forth in the Communiqué of February 19, 2007 from the Primates of the Anglican Communion meeting at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The money quote from that document is as follows: the Primates request, through the Presiding Bishop, that the House of Bishops of The Episcopal Church 1. make an unequivocal common covenant that the bishops will not authorise any Rite of Blessing for same-sex unions in their dioceses or through General Convention (cf TWR, §143, 144); and2. confirm that the passing of Resolution B033 of the 75th General Convention means that a candidate for episcopal orders living in a same-sex union shall not receive the necessary consent (cf TWR, §134);unless some new consensus on these matters emerges across the Communion (cf TWR, §134).
