Justice for Abbot Joachim Angerer
Its true, he was an Old Liberal. But that is only one side of the coin. German translation of Jurg-Werner Oberlasser.
(kreuz.net) The site 'kreuz.net' reported something hard last November about the Old Lineral Abbot Joachim Angerer (76).
The Prelate was from 1986 till his defacto ouster the leader of the Premonstratensian Cloister Geras.
The Stift is located in the Diocese of St. Polten.
I know from my own experience that Abbot Angerer isn't only just Old Liberal. He was also Liberal.
So he allowed without any ifs and buts the Latin Mass, Latin prayers and many ancient usages which the young men then wanted.
I am very convinced and can recall a corresponding discussion with him that he allowed the old Mass in his Cloister and in the incorporated parishes by implication.
Yes, he is Old Liberal, sometimes in a strange manner. But he is also a good man, who imposed no limitations against his conservative fellow brothers and perhaps also from conviction.
Those who supported him, either left following his resignation -- and that -- or wanted themselves to be abbot.
In order to support the abbot, they used the lever of money.
The odd acolyte service of those priests now condemned for abuse had often criticized Abbot Angerer.
But he remained powerless against his fellow brothers.
One had to hold these dubious priests in the Priory of Fritzlar closed in the meantime. For in the priory -- why indeed? -- that too many had gone.
About the former Bishop Krenn of St. Polten, who attempted, to outwit him, one can only shake one's head in the face of such hindsight.
The idea that Msgr Krenn had been really conservative, no one could seriously maintain.

Celibacy Originates From the Time of Jesus and the Apostles: Cardinal Brandmuller
Cardinal Brandmuller: "It is a secure fact of science that at the beginning priests and Bishops were orained, but these from the day of consecration on family life continued, but not, however, the bond of marriage."
(kreuz.net, Vatikan) The Bavarian Church historian and Cardinal, Walter Brandmuller has challenged Anti-Celibacy politicians of the German CDU.
"What makes them legitimate as politicians, to take positions on internal-Church themes, when they have neither the office nor the knowledge?"
This question was put by the Cardinal in an open letter which appeared in the 'Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung'.
Cardinal Brandmuller commented on a writing which was published last friday by eight politicans of the German homosexual and abortion CDU party.
Within there were arguments for the allowance of priestly marriage.
The Faith has failed, Not the Priest
In their writing these politicians made a connection between the priest shortage to the lifting of priestly celibacy worldwide.
Actually Cardinal Brandmuller refuted them.
He pointed to "the increasingly lower number of Mass goers and faithful, who receive the Sacraments."
The Union politicians were made to look like fools because for them "it wasn't only celibacy, but the first steps back to an 'other Church'".
The German National Church is Shattered
The promotion for the German special way may lead to schism -- warned Cardinal Brandmuller:
"Are you aware that you are only part of a campaign that has been engaged since the beginning of the 19th Century -- and which is failed today.?" -- the Cardinal asks the politicians.
The CDU-functionaries have put a way of life in question, "those who are the overwhelming number of priests who are convinced and are living truthfully of their own free will."
Cardinal Brandmuller also informed these Union politicians that they are insulting Jesus Christ with this campaign:
"Priests who are living unmarried like the young Jesus do nothing else, besides making their manner of life like that of the Master."
The Priests of the Early Church Were Already Living Celibate Lives
Furthermore, the Prince of the Church explained to the anti-Celibacy politicians that the priestly celibacy is an apostolic tradition:
"It is surely scientifically proven that in the beginning married men were certainly ordained as priests and bishops, but from the day of consecration on, probably the family life continued, but not, however, the married bond."
That also goes for the researchers that even an ecumenical Council itself couldn't ignore:
"It is therefore urgent to express that this discussion, which we have already exhausted to tedium and harmed and thoroughly multiplied the confusion of the faithful, be brought to an end."

The Bishop of Nice Visits the Society of Pius X
Bishop without a hard head: He wanted to strengthen his herd in the Faith. For that reason he went for some days personally to the homes of the Faithful, unbelievers and traditionalists.
(kreuz.net, Nizza)Bishop Louis Albert Sankalé (64) of Nice visited the priory of St. Pius X in his Diocese. This was at the website of the Diocese of Nice on 17th of January with photos.
The 350.0000 population city Nice is on the Sea in south east France.
The meeting was part of an evangelization and pastoral visit, which Msgr Sankalé undertook from 11. to15. in the parish of the apparently Bl. John XXIII (+) in the old town of Nice.
At this opportunity the Bishop was missioning together with the Vicar General, Fr. Jean-Louis Balsa and the administrator of the old town parish, the black secular priest, Léon Pape Gnacadja.
Msgr Sankalé visited with both priests, various cloisters, chapels and centers of so-called renewal movments left over from the 80s.
The three went to businessmen, barmen, market stands, artists and craftsmen.
They spoke otherwise to passersby on the street.
On the program there was a cemetary, a barracks of the Foreign Legion as well as a Priory of the Society of Pius X, that is located in the vicinity of the old city parish.
The current prior -- Fr. Charles Moulin -- opened the door to his guests and greeted them with hospitality.
The Bishop -- in suit, collar and pectoral cross -- visited the chapel of the Society, which is consecrated to St. Clare of Assisi, for the first time.

Moscow jihadist shouted "I will kill you all" before setting off his bomb
World leaders issue their usual expressions of sorrow and outrage (not reproduced below; why bother?) -- but what will they end up doing to try to prevent another attack like this? Not much in the way of actual focus on the real perpetrators. "'I will kill you all': at least 35 die in Moscow airport bombing," by Maria Antonova and Stuart Williams for AFP, January 25:

Medjugorje: The Pope Desires a Final Decision
There are a thousand contradictions that point to the fact that in Medjugorje there hasn't been an appearance of the Mother of God. For that reason there should be a "much longer" investigation process to postpone it.
(kreuz.net, Vatikan)The Vatican investigation of the false apparition site of Medjugorje in Bosnia Herzegowina has just begun.
This is according to Marian Priest Salvatore Perella of the news service of the US-Bishops Conference, 'Catholic News Service'.
Father Perrella teaches at the Old Liberal theological faculty of the Marianum in Rome. He is a member of the Vatican Investigative Commission, which is occupied with Medjugorje.
The Church has only made a few judgments on the appearances -- explained the priest. It is supposedly not always possible to ascertain if an appearance is true or false: "For the phenomena are greater than us."
In truth God works exactly according to the criteria of truth and falsity. Everything else comes -- according to the criteria of the discernment of spirits -- from the Devil.
Judgment on Saint Till the Cows Come Home?
Father Perrella explained that the Pope wants to make a final judgment on Medjugorje.
The spiritual is validated -- despite the easily verifiable facts, which speak against reality -- with a "very long process".
The case is "very complex", but not impossible to solve.
The duration of the daily appearances create mistrust-- took the Mariologist into consideration.
He compared these phenomena with the -- not daily unlike Medjugorje -- appearances of our Lady in Laus in south east France.
The Bishop of Gap recognized the sporadic appearances of the shepherdess Bnoite Rencurel († 1718) during fifty four years in 2008.
The Church proceeds in any case with "maximum prudence" -- continued Father Perrella further.
The Mother of God Appears as Black, Mexican or French
Finally the Mariologist allowed a pious fauxpas.
He said that the Mother of God could physically appear to men on earth because she is the only one brought body and soul into heaven.
Other departed Saints could appear incorporealy.
In reality there have been various appearances of Saints in the past. In the Irish apparition site of Knock St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist appeared next to the Mother of God.
The Mother of God appears at various locations even in different forms.

Editor's Note: An "Old Liberal" is a term used at kreuznet to describe a certain kind of personality or institutions that is part of the graying and sterile generation of sixty eight, not simply because they are old enough to have been of age in that revolutionary time but chiefly because they share those values, which are typified by multi-Culturalism and the neo-Marxism of the noxious and intellectually cancerous Frankfuhrt School. Some examples of "Old Liberal" include: Franz Kung, Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles, Cardinal Bernardine of Chicago, Archbishop Rembert Weakland and Sister Joan Chiddister OSB to name but a few to include most of the Jesuit Order.

270 Seminarians Huddle in Tents: Haiti
It is like back then in Postwar Germany: "Those remaining alive, the completely impoverished people of the city, live in this single bunker. Thousands are huddled here together. There was a dominating and pestilent stench."
(kreuz.net) The Church in Haiti finds itself still in a state of exceptional circumstance after the disastrous earthquake of January 2010.
This report is from the Latin American correspondent of the international Catholic aid association, "Kirche in Not', Rafael D'Aqui.
After the outbreak of cholera and the escalation of violence after the last election, the future is continually uncertain.
Priestly Seminary Under the Palms
"In the national seminary of Lillavoi there are at present 270 seminarians in tents learning philosophy and theology under the palms."
The earthquake destroyed the seminary of Port-au-Prince. Many seminarians were then buried beneath the ruins.
"We have helped purchase land for a new seminary" -- explained D'Aqui.
The Nuncio hopes to be able to lay the cornerstone in January.
Till the building is complete, the seminarians must remain in tents.
A car should be dispatched to ease the supplying with sustenance and to bring the upcoming priests to the people.
Poor Sisters Help the Poor
The Little Sisters of St Theresa work in the small suburb Rivere Froid -- not far from the capital of Port au Prince.
They care for the residents in severe poverty in the impassable mountains of Haiti.
Through the earthquake the sisters had lost virtually all of their homes. 150 of their students and four sisters gave up their lives in the collapse of the buildings.
Since then the five surviving sisters are perched all together in a severely earthquake damaged house.
Some of them are old and frail.
Like in Bombed Germany
The report of their national correspondents are said to remind them "of the situation in Postwar Germany" -- said the business directoer of 'Kirche in Not', Karin Maria Fenbert.
Then Father Werenfried van Straatem -- the founder of the aid association -- wrote about the bombed city:
"There is almost nothing left of it, only a giant bunker, like the ones built throughout Germany, to protect the population from bombs.
"Those remaining behind, completely impoverished people of the city, house themselves in a single bunker. Thousands huddle here together. There was a dominant and pestilent stench."
Then Father continued: "It is Christmas again and Christ longs to be taken up Himself."
He wanders about our streets unseen.
Don't be like the predatory animals of Bethlehem, like the indifferent innkeepers, like the prosperous burgers in the chambers of their provincial self-satisfaction.
Open your doors and your hearts to everyone in need, which need is also Christ's."

Briefs: Germany won't send drug for executions
DUBLIN --
Germany won't send drug for executions
Germany's health minister is urging the nation's leading drug companies and distributors to ignore requests from the United States for sodium thiopental, used to anesthetize inmates being executed.
Supplies of the drug are growing short in the United States after the sole U.S. manufacturer ceased production.
Pope says marriage not an absolute right
Pope Benedict XVI told priests Saturday to do a better job counseling would-be spouses to ensure their marriages last and said no one has an absolute right to a wedding.
Benedict made the comments in his annual speech to the Roman Rota, the Vatican tribunal that decides marriage annulments. He said the right to a church wedding requires that the bride and groom intend to celebrate and live the marriage truthfully and authentically.
Should pope be made a saint after sex abuse scandals?
Editor: He seems to have given ammunition to those who've benefited the most from the process both financially and politically.
Who could ignore the irony of “John Paul II to be beatified in May” (AC-T, Jan. 15) followed by “Vatican told church not to report Irish abuse” (AC-T Jan. 19) in this paper, and in reports internationally? I would greet that juxtaposition with wry humor if not for the knowledge that behind the report of the Vatican's (under Pope John Paul II) now-proven order to its bishops not to turn pedophile priests over to law enforcement, are countless injured kids, now teens and adults, living with unspeakable memories and trauma. ...

Bishop blesses new Catholic church in east Fort Myers
1:10 A.M. — Worshippers packed the chapel of their new church Saturday at Jesus Obrero Catholic Mission, eager for their first Mass in the building.
Bishop Frank Dewane of the Diocese of Venice made his way to the altar through a sea of believers, where he presided over the night’s service.
Arched windows lined the walls of the Colonial Latin American-style building.
“Man, it’s beautiful,” said Daniel Juarez, 42, one of the church’s 3,500 parishioners. “Maybe it’s more than we expected.”
The 16,000-square-foot building on Nuna Avenue in east Fort Myers replaced the 25-year-old, worn-out chapel that sits next door. The new building seats about 1,300, although many had to stand for the Mass,
Arizona shooting suspect might escape death if convicted
By MARISA TAYLOR
McClatchy Newspapers
Reacting to the Arizona shooting with anger, sadness and shock, a majority of Americans think that suspect Jared Loughner should be sent to death row if he's convicted, according to one poll. But if statistics are any indication, he has a good chance of escaping execution.
Federal prosecutors have had little luck persuading juries to send defendants to death row. Of 467 defendants whom U.S. attorneys general in Washington have authorized to face the federal death penalty since it was instituted in 1988, only 15 percent have received it.
The list of criminals who've escaped federal death row includes high-profile convicted killers: Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols and Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph.

More Anglican priests to join Catholic Church
BBC News
Seven Anglican priests and 300 members of six congregations are to join a new section of the Catholic Church, the Catholic Diocese of Brentwood says.
The move involves three parishes in Essex, and three in east London.
It is the largest influx to date into the Ordinariate, which Pope Benedict established for Church of England members unhappy over issues such as the ordination of women.
Three former Anglican bishops have been appointed to lead the Ordinariate.
Ordinariates allow Anglicans opposed to developments including women bishops, gay clergy and same-sex blessings to convert to Rome while maintaining some of their traditions.

Is The Catholic Church the New Whipping Boy?
Prof. Hudson McLean
Are some writers in LankaWeb running out of material and imagination, and turning to thunder the Catholic Church as a whole, with the presumption of collaborating with the Hindu led LTTE Terrorists to resurrect the Tamil Eelam in North East of Sri Lanka?
Agreed that many of the Tamil Catholic priests and a couple of Tamil Catholic Bishops sympathised with the LTTE. However to assume now HH Pope in Rome has got his hand into the terrorist pot, with the Canadian Catholics using Tamil LTTE, as the “front”, is way, way out.
In my personal opinion, the Sinhala Catholics in Sri Lanka in general, have never ever favoured a partition of the Island. The Sinhala Catholics are as patriotic as any other Buddhist, with the possible exception of some Tamil Christians and Tamil Catholics, who have favoured a LTTE led divided Sri Lanka.

Mexican Drug Cartels Resort to Jihadist Terror Methodology by Using More Car Bombings
As the savage, largely narco-fueled violence in Mexico escalates, the country’s crime-cartels have resorted to using one of jihadist terrorists’ most lethal weapons – the car bomb.
But while there had been a lull in the cartels’ use of “vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices” (VBIED) since a wave of detonations of these lethal bombs last summer, on the heels of Mexico’s crackdown on the Los Zetas cartel in recent weeks, Mexico’s Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) announced that a car bomb was exploded Tuesday afternoon in front of a muni-police station in Linares, Nuevo León, Mexico.
The car was a white Jetta from Nuevo León and had been parked in the reserved parking space of a high ranking police department official.
