District public school officials using new computer technology have returned to the old-fashioned way of getting students to attend school daily and on time. The schools are calling the parents.
School officials have purchased 50 machines that automatically call parents when their children are absent or tardy. If the line is busy or there is no answer, the machines call back.
A special truancy center has been created in Northeast at Stuart Junior High School to try to resolve social problems that sometimes contribute to children missing school.
The automatic calling machines and the center are part of a $1 million pilot program initiated by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) to attempt to reduce the high rate of absenteeism and tardiness by the city's junior and senior high school students.
"The machines help us to contact parents sooner," said James Williams, principal at Cardozo, at 13th and Clifton streets NW, which started using a calling machine on a trial basis a year ago. The machines were put in the other schools earlier this year.
"If a kid is absent today, the parent is notified today," Williams said. "This helps us get a handle on the attendance problem.
"We've had instances in which a student had been chronically truant for weeks and after one phone call to his home, he straightened up. It was like magic," Williams said.
The machines can call up to 55 homes an hour, said Marilyn Brown, assistant superintendent for student services. They have been installed in all the city's junior and senior high schools and the vocational career centers.
When students are late, the machines call their parents at home or at work and play recorded messages from the principal, asking parents to call the school immediately.
Informing parents that their children have been marked late or absent usually works, Brown said, because it exposes youths who cut school or skip classes thinking that their parents will not find out. Typically, when parents are informed, they discipline their children and that usually stops the tardiness or absenteeism, she said.
Queen Austin, whose 17-year-old daughter attends Cardozo High School, agreed and said the calling machines are a good idea.
"My children don't have a reason to be absent," she said. "If they were out of school without my permission they would be in trouble . . . and they probably wouldn't do that again."
The new system has one problem officials are trying to remedy. Only a few of the high schools and career centers have connected the special telephones needed to receive calls from parents responding to the tape-recorded announcements. Now these calls are taken on telephones in the main offices of the schools, which are often busy.
For the more stubborn cases of truancy, public school officials have hired 17 attendance counselors, one for each of the city's high schools, and opened a special truancy center with a staff that includes five social workers. Tardiness and absenteeism often indicate problems at home or a personal crisis, school administrators said.
A truancy center has been opened at Stuart Junior High School at Fourth and E streets NE, where counselors and social workers work with chronically truant students and youths who are picked up by police in the Capitol Hill area.
In other parts of the city, students picked up by police or truant officers are still returned directly to school. However, if the truancy center proves a success officials hope to use it to help students from all parts of the city, they said.
"Students who are continually late or absent from school usually have problems at home or problems with their peers or psychological problems," Brown said. "They need help dealing with their fears or whatever is bugging them.
"Sometimes, they have younger siblings to take care of at home. They have to get them dressed and fed, then dress and feed themselves. Under our new program, we can deal with each case individually and find out what the obstacles are and remove them," she said.
Ellen Datcher, executive assistant to Brown, added, "If a child is ashamed to go to school because he doesn't have the proper clothing to wear, we can buy some items. We've come across cases where we've found parents who simply don't get their children up in the mornings and to school. We have to remind these adults that minors must be in school. That's the law."
Many of the attendance counselors, who were hired and assigned to the 17 high schools and career centers in February, have established "personal" relationships with students who were chronically late or absent, Brown said.
Doretha Carroll, an attendance counselor at Cardozo who often visits student homes and holds seminars with parents at the school in the evenings, said, "The personal touch brings success. I've helped students realize that their problems are not that big in most instances.
"For instance, if I find that a group of students who are friends have been cutting classes to be together, I try to change their schedules so they can be in the same classes. That's worked in a few instances. Instead of them hanging out in the street, they are in class, learning."
When Carroll met Tracey Adams, 16, a 10th grader at Cardozo, the student had been coming to school late regularly. "I didn't feel like coming to school," Adams said in an interview recently.
"I guess I was sort of depressed, but Miss Carroll talked to me like a good friend or a big sister. She made me think she really cared. Sometimes I come to school just because it makes her happy."

Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T want Congress to make a net neutrality law because they will write it
July 12, 2017
Companies and organizations that rely on an open internet rallied on Wednesday for a "day of action" on net neutrality, and America's biggest internet service providers have responded with arrogance and contempt for their customers. Comcast's David Cohen called arguments in favor of FCC regulation "scare tactics" and "hysteria." Beyond the dismissive rhetoric, ISPs are coincidentally united today in calling for Congress to act — and that's because they've paid handsomely to control what Congress does.

Bathroom. Saturday , March 25th , 2017 - 15:26:45 PM
Bathroom remodeling may be a creative and transformative project. Although it can definitely create a lot of inconvenience and hassle, it is worth the expense and hassle if you are able to improve energy efficiency in the bathroom, which will lead to greater savings in the future. It is a wonderful way to add value to your home.
There are many distinct strategies to decorate your bathroom. Typically, bathrooms range between 15 square feet to up to 72 square feet in dimension. Like a kitchen, a bathroom is the most essential room in a home. Although time-consuming, remodeling a bathroom is a rather exciting endeavor. Just because you are dealing a little bathroom does not indicate there are not a lot of choices to employ when you consider remodeling it. Whether you get an enormous bathroom or a small one, getting the ideal combo and experiencing the qualities of a shower stall in addition to bathtub with this single unit is a simply wonderful idea. The key to getting a distinctive and intriguing country bathroom is to be sure it stays similar but not the exact same.
A vanity is an excellent method to subtly decorate your bathroom. Bathroom vanities are an essential part of bathroom decor in the United States of america. A bathroom vanity will give a location for all these items to go. It provides a surface within your bathroom that a sink can be set in.

So I Had to Break My Mom's Heart Today…….. March 1, 2018Posted by Tantumblogo in Admin, Bible, Domestic Church, family, General Catholic, Holy suffering, Interior Life, martyrdom, mortification, sadness, Tradition.
comments closed
…….and hurt my dad, as well. I probably also permanently terminated any chance of having a relationship with my sister, which relation has already been horribly strained due largely to my traditional Catholic Faith (and other matters) over the past 7-8 years.
My family, and my wife's family, are polar opposites. My wife's family is Catholic, mine is protestant. My wife has 60 nieces and nephews, I have one niece. That niece is to be married in April to a fallen away Catholic from Mexico. They are being married outside the Church. I did not ask, but I was told he was fallen away. Well from then on we simply could not attend the wedding, and I dreaded having to break the news, because family is probably the most important thing in this world to my mom especially, and this would break her heart. But I spoke with every priest at the parish and they were unanimous – no, I cannot attend a religious wedding/simulation of the Sacrament of Matrimony involving a Catholic.
There is a dim hope he was not actually baptized, but it's exceedingly unlikely.
So we cannot attend. And my family does not understand. I barely understand, but I know I just can't do it. And because family means so much to my mom, and because, aside from my wife and I's 7 kids, the family is so small, everything tends to get magnified to the Nth degree. But the issue from a doctrinal standpoint is totally clear – I cannot support a Catholic in committing an act of grave sin against the Faith. I certainly could not confuse and scandalize my children by involving them, and their presence is practically the whole point to my mom.
So I really hurt my parent's feelings, which I absolutely did not want to do, and they cannot comprehend why. That's the reason I'm sharing this here, because they're right, 99.5% of Catholics in the US today would go ahead and go to the outdoor "wedding" ceremony. Who am I to say I am so right? How can I hold myself up as such a prideful elitist looking down on other Catholics and all other Christians? Heck Francis himself would probably castigate me as a vicious sinner for failing to go, calling me to make human hearts happy as the highest end. And yet the Truth remains………
Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at strife against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
So do not let it be said that my faith in Jesus Christ, flawed and as imperfect as it is, has not cost me anything. It has cost me dear, and cost others as well, people whom I love who do not share this faith of mine and who I have to hurt because of my faith. But this is one of the moments that, to me, defines whether one really believes or not. Am I willing to stand with Christ, to choose Christ over even mother or father or sister or niece, all of whom are so very dear to me? I pray I am. I can tell you, there were several times during the unfortunate scene today when I wanted to cave in, and one time very nearly did. But in the end, I could not.
I am very sorry for that, in fact it's been a brutal experience, but I can do no other than what I feel in conscience I must. I write this here, because I felt that if anyone would understand, you would.
May God have mercy on us all for our human failings. And may He in His infinite benevolence bring about a miracle of conversion for all my family so that we may all be united fully in Faith and charity.

Cliches exist because they often serve as a sort of shorthand for truth, an often glib but also uncannily accurate description of a place, an event, a tendency, etc. Now, cliches can serve to represent and advance unfair bias, and often do, and they can badly misrepresent and miss vital nuance. But having said that, the cliche of the mean 'ol trad Catholic is probably the dominant, knee jerk reaction we trads have to contend with. And, not entirely unfairly, it must probably be said.
How has this come about? Likewise, what about the trad cliche of the silly, far from groovy, get over the 60s hippy dippy happy clappy define your own truth Novus Ordo type? How true are these descriptions, and from where might they stem?
My new sole source for blogging material, Tumblar House, has some answers below, which I found pretty insightful. In this case, I thought Charles Coulombe's confrere made perhaps the most insightful contribution – we trads/faithful Catholics are the product of long years of avoiding and overcoming constant deadly threats, both to ourselves and to our children – you think a few years of that might make someone a little reserved in charity and prone to pounce on perceived threats with maybe a bit more relish than absolutely necessary? And how about the rank failure of the hierarchy to define and defend Truth, so that laity have, by default, often had to step into this role? Think that might also have had some less than perfect fruit?
This short segment also provides a keen insight into that strange entity, the former devout pre-conciliar Catholic who now so loved the old Mass and all the old devotions, and now, as a septuagenarian or octogenarian finds them repellent. This person may or may not be a hippy casualty leftist, they may be quite orthodox in their Novus Ordo way, but they just viscerally hate the old Mass. How could that person, on an objective level, exist, when the TLM is so manifestly superior on practically every level possible? Well, they went through the incredibly jarring experience of being told by the Church, their Mother, that all they loved and held dear was not just far from ideal, but positively harmful/dangerous, and would be replaced by something "better." I can't imagine how painful that must have been, nor the depth of Faith those folks had, and have, to have seen them through that experience. That's not to say their reactions, then or now, were always the right ones or even virtuous (mass contraceptive use, anyone?), but it does help to explain how these people came about. I think it hard for someone like me, who converted on the cusp of the 21st century, to comprehend just how obedient Catholics were in the 1960s, and the entire expectation of obedience that was woven into the fabric of Catholic lives at that time. That ethos, once such a cornerstone of the Faith (to an extent that m may have been excessive and even unhealthy, as natural as it was given the external attacks the Church faced from 1789-1958, say) has been one of the biggest casualties of the collapse of hierarchical authority since the "new springtime" of Vatican Il Duce.
Basically the Church is badly broken, probably in worse shape than she's ever been, and that has left the sheep largely fending for themselves. We should not be surprised that under such circumstances, the laity would be left confused and even divided into hostile camps. This will persist, in my surmise, until the revolution that afflicted the Church in the 60s/70s (and today) is definitively rolled back, either by overt act or by slow submersion beneath a renewed authentic Catholicism.
Ligouri on the Necessity of Humility and Suffering Humiliation As Means of Attaining Sanctity September 28, 2017Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, catachesis, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Holy suffering, Interior Life, mortification, religious, Saints, sanctity, Tradition, true leadership, Virtue.

Some additional excerpts from The True Spouse of Jesus Christ by the great Moral Doctor St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori on the vital role humility, especially in the form of patiently and joyfully bearing humiliations, plays in the process of sanctification/growth in the interior life.
I cut and paste various exerpts from pp. 335-341 below:
Some, says St. Francis of Assisi, imagine that sanctity consists in the recital of many prayers or in the performance of works of penance: but, not understanding the great merit of patience under insult, they cannot bear an injurious word. You will acquire more merit by meekly receiving an affront than by fasting ten days on bread and water. It will sometimes happen that a privilege that is refused to you will be conceded to others; that what you say will be treated with contempt, while the words of others are heard with respectful attention; that while the actions of others are the theme of general praise, and they are heaped with honors, you are passed by unnoticed and your whole conduct is made a subject of derision. If you accept in peace all these humiliations, and if, with a sincere affection, you recommend to God those from whom you receive the least respect, then indeed, as St. Dorotheus says, it will be manifest that you are truly humble. To them you are particularly indebted, since by their reproaches they cure your pride – the most malignant of all diseases that lead to spiritual death. Because they deem themselves worthy of all honors, the proud convert their humiliations into an occasion of pride. But because the humble consider themselves deserving only of opprobrium, their humiliations serve to increase their humility. "That man," says St. Bernard, " is truly humble who converts humiliation into humility."
Voluntary humiliations, such as to serve the sick, to kiss the feet of those who imagine, even unjustly, that we have offended them, and similar acts of humility, are very profitable; but, to embrace with cheerfulness, for the love of Jesus Christ, the humiliations that come from others, such as reproofs, accusations, insults, and derisions, is still more meritorious……..As gold is tried in the fire, so a man's perfection is proved by humiliation. St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi used to say that "untried virtue is not virtue." He who does not suffer contempt with a tranquil mind shall never attain the spirit of perfection…….[Working out our salvation is not easy. Contrary to American protestant claims of "one and done" conversions, which are so typical of the modern American drive-through convenience mentality, God desires of us a total conversion from our fallen human nature, our endless pride and selfishness, to a being dead to self and living only for God and through His Grace. This is terribly hard, but God has given us great guides in the Saints to show that it is possible, and, even more, how to do it. It's simply a matter of dying to ourselves and living for God through good works done to others. Suffering humiliations tranquilly is a powerful means of dying to self.]
………St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi used to say that crosses and ignominies are the greatest favors that God is accustomed to bestow on his beloved spouses. [Once again, contrary to protestant, especially modern American protestantism, which preaches that God just wants to shower ease and wealth and comfort on His chosen ones…….is that what He did to His son? Is His Son and Our Lady the exemplars par excellence God has given us on both how to live our lives, and what to expect from the world when we live in accord with His Will? I know even some Catholics who equate being pious with being blessed with happiness, comfort, ease, freedom from illness or financial difficulty, but this is very, very wrong.]
……….The Saints have not been made Saints by applause and honor, but by injuries and insults. St. Ignatius Martyr, a bishop, and an object of universal esteem and veneration, was sent to Rome as a criminal, and on his way experienced from the soldiers who conducted him nothing but the most barbarous insolence. In the midst of his suffering and humiliations he joyfully exclaimed: "I now begin to be a disciple of Christ." I now begin to be a true disciple of my Jesus, who endured so m any ignominies for my sake……
….Let us then be persuaded that to be persecuted in this life confers the highest excellence on the Saints. "And," says the Apostle, "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (II Tim iii:12). The Redeemer says, "If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (Jn xv:20).
————-End Quote————-
We live in an especially difficult time to acquire the virtue of humility. More than in any past period, today we have paraded before our eyes constantly, especially if we have not yet destroyed our TVs, powerful images extolling pride and denigrating almost all virtue, but especially humility. True humility is an almost unknown quantity in our mass media culture, and tranquil acceptance of humiliations is utterly baffling, especially for Americans, who have been taught for decades that having everything the way they want it this instant is a practical constitutional right. Vast numbers of the younger generations coming of age literally have zero conception of what life is like for the vast majority of humanity today, and, even more, the sufferings and privations involved in existence even a few short decades ago in anyplace but America. Heck, my dad grew up without running water and electricity, and I was born in the 70s! That just one tiny example. Wealth, ease, and comfort are in many ways inimical to growth in virtue: and, of course, our task is made even harder still by the crisis in the Church. It's a terrible triple whammy.
But God is infinitely greater in his rewards, than what He asks of us in sacrifice. Those who are able to cooperate with Grace in these increasingly dark times, what great Saints they will be, and what inspirations to future generations!
I pray such Saints may be found from among the readership of this blog. As for the author, it is best to do as I say, not as I do…….

A really excellent video analyzing the current state of the Church from Michael Matt. He incidentally gets in some digs at that operation in Detroit that still, apparently – I haven't watched any of their product in years, for a number of reasons – is refusing to address the 900 bazillion ton elephant in the room, while spending enormous effort/volume of fire shooting at various mice and cockaroaches. Sure those latter must be opposed and drug into the daylight, but the house will still be destroyed so long as the elephant is free to rampage, and the damage done by the former is orders of magnitude greater than the latter.
But the main point of the video is not just to expostulate on the dire situation in the Church, a situation likely unprecedented in Her 2000 year history, but also to give hope to know that God is still in charge, that His promise to never abandon His Church and the faithful still applies, and that we must have recourse to Our Blessed Mother as our ultimate intercessor with God to have mercy on His Church and restore sanity to the Church.
Both Matt, and, I should add, Bishop Gracida note that this lay intercession is a necessary step in the path towards a formal correction issuing from a certain body of Cardinals, which, I pray, will be more than two. Bishop Gracida believes that Cardinal Burke, the obvious leader of the cardinalatial "resistance," should do so before the end of the year. Even if the cardinals do nothing, either because they are unwilling or unable to do so (for instance, if no other cardinal will join Burke), the lay correction still has great value. Francis has been corrected. He has been called out. Future generations, once sanity has been restored to the Church, can and will make use of the historical record this correction provides – and if I were the authors of the correction, I would disseminate hard copies to every chancery and every major Catholic university in the world. The electronic pseudo-records may not be around forever.
The key role for the laity in all of this however is two fold – to keep the Faith, and to pray. We cannot allow ourselves to be drawn into extremes of thought or action because of the daily uber-scandals inflicted upon us. We cannot allow our hearts to become hard and to lose Faith in the Lord. This too shall pass. Not perhaps in our lifetimes, but eventually. And if not, perhaps our children or grandchildren will be witness to the glory of the Lord again on this earth in the Second Coming. Our Lord Himself told us in inspired and inerrant Scripture that at the end of times, the Faith would be all but dead in the hearts of men.
In the interim, we must be doing all we can – more than we presently think we can – in terms of prayer and sacrifice, and in particular prayer for the intercession of Our Lady. Perhaps this October 13 will witness another unprecedented miracle, but perhaps not. Either way, Our Lady's intercession is our best recourse for bringing about the restoration of Holy Mother Church and, just as importantly, the conversion of so many billions of dead, hardened souls. Even in times when the Faith was infinitely more alive in the hearts of men, at least in parts of the world (the 13th century), the Lord's hand of judgment was stayed through the enormous piety and noble acts of a handful of great Saints, especially St. Vincent Ferrer. The fewness of the number of the remnant matters not, what matters is their fervor of faith and cooperation with Grace. In this respect, some of us, and I certainly include myself in this number, have not been doing all we possibly can, preferring instead to cast aspersions at the failures of others rather than take out the beam in my own eye.
You may have already seen the video, but if you have not, I strongly recommend you watch it. It's extremely good. As a final aside, in the interest of time, I have developed the habit of watching videos at 1.25 or 1.5x speed, which makes a 24 minute video last 16 minutes. Any faster and they either sound ridiculous or I can't keep up.
Pray. And reserve some mercy in your hearts even for those who so despise the truths of our Faith and work so hard to endanger souls – we must, as Catholics, love all, even those who wound us so deeply and spread so much obvious destruction.

I think this is a most insightful commentary, and one that I agree with. The persecution of Catholics in Tudor/Jacobian England in the 16th and 17th centuries gives us a very clear picture of what it is like to suffer through a Church that allows itself to be whored out to the opinions, desires, and whims of the powers that be. This is precisely what many feel has happened to our beautiful Holy Mother Church in recent decades (though they would probably have the decency and good sense not to use such an awful term, but I feel that is the one that is the most descriptive), and we can expect the faithful remnant – a term I was surprised to see Bishop Gracida, whom I had failed to read for many months, using over and over again on his blog – to be treated as badly or worse by the establishment church as were the "recusants" of Merrye Ol' several centuries ago.
The tactics, liturgical changes, and theology are virtually identical to the most militant, leftist wing of the protestant revolutionaries of Elizabethan times, too.
But I'll let Bishop Gracida make his points, and add a few comments. This commentary was an answer to a question asked by a 70 year old Catholic regarding that septuagenarian's sense that the Church of today is not the one he grew up in – when the Church fails, where do we go?:
Don't you realize that you have become part of the Remnant?
Your situation, our situation, is analogous to the situation in which Catholics found themselves in 16th Century England. All of a sudden Catholics woke up and found that the Church in which they had grown up had changed. The head of the Church in England, the Archbishop of Canterbury had come under the influence of liberals and progressives like Martin Luther and John Calvin. Worse, the King, Henry VIII, had become a serial adulterer and he felt it was ok for him to 're-marry' and still receive Holy Communion while living in an adulterous relationship because the good of the Nation required it. [or the good of the groin -as Henry fell deeper and deeper into total incontinence, even the pretense he was doing all his adulterating for "the good of the nation" dropped away] And to put a proper face on it the King declared himself the Head of the Church, the Liturgy of the Mass changed with the genius ["genius"] of Archbishop Cranmer and all of a sudden Catholics in England woke up and found that they had become Anglicans.
Well, not ALL Catholics. Some, like the author of the above article still considered themselves to be Catholics, not Anglicans and because they now constituted a small number of people compared to their Anglican neighbors they became a Remnant of the Catholic Church.
That is what you are. That is what many of us are.
And as a consequence, we are going to experience persecution. Not the same kind of persecution that English Catholics experienced under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. [Ummm……wait and see. It might get pretty close, at least so far as being treated as heretics, schismatics, outsiders, and hateful bigots] You will cherish the Traditional Latin Mass when you can find it and you will learn to avoid the absurdities liberal priests and bishops introduce into the Novus Ordo Masses.
Just as English Catholics learned to avoid Anglican Masses celebrated by priests who were ordained not to offer the sacrifice of Jesus Christ but to set the table for a community meal, you will seek out priests, bishops (yes, and even popes) who manifest their belief in the Incarnate Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died for us and who revealed his plan for us in the 2000 year magisterium of the Church we have possessed up to the present pontificate.
More from Bishop Gracida here, on why he signed the filial correction.
Lord, what good could be done with a few more such men. Of course, he's retired, and so it's a lot easier for him to speak – and probably therein lies very much of the problem.
I'm not quite certain what the good bishop means about seeking out "popes who manifest their belief in the Incarnate Lord…." except that I'm certain he doesn't meaning finding our own little Pope Michaels, et. al., to follow. I am sure he means we turn to the popes of the past, the holy fathers who safely guided the Church with a far surer hand than the present trustee of the diocese of Rome.
At any rate it seems Bishop Gracida has become much more clear in his appreciation of the crisis facing the Church and the reality of the tiny number of the faithful. But our paucity of numbers is not a reason to lose hope, as I pray the next post may elucidate unsurreptitiously.
Today I can use my big boy words!

Thinking about Francis and the Rome Plow he is taking through the Church can quickly get depressing. Plus, it's always good to be encouraged. I find few Saints more encouraging than St. Catherine of Siena. The following quotes are rather random, but they all contain great spiritual direction and solid catechesis. I pray you enjoy!
Quote 1:
O Charity, you are the sweet, holy bond uniting the soul to its Creator; you unite God to man and man to God. you kept the Son of God nailed to the wood of the Holy Cross. You unite those whom discord keeps apart. You enrich with virtue those who are poor, because you give life to all the virtues. You bring peace and suppress hatred and war. You give patience, strength, and perseverance in return for every good and holy work. You are never weary, you never turn aside from the love of God and neighbor, either because of weariness, pain, contempt, or insult.
O Christ, sweet Jesus, give me this holy charity, that I may persevere in doing good and never give it up; for he who possesses charity is founded on You, the living rock, and by following Your example, he learns from You how to love his neighbor. In You, O Christ, I read the rule and doctrine which are right for me, for You are the way, the truth, and the life. If I read You, I shall follow the right path and shall occupy myself solely with the honor of God and the salvation of souls.
Quote 2:
I give You thanks, O eternal Father, because You have not despised Your creature, nor turned away Your face from me, nor ignored my desires. You, who are light, did not despise my darkness; You, who are life, did not go far away from me who am death; nor did You, the physician, fail to heal my wounds.……Your wisdom, mercy, and infinite goodness have not looked with scorn at all these and the infinite number of other evils and faults that are in me. What forced You to love me and to grant me so many graces? It was not my virtues but only Your charity. May I always keep Your favors in mind, and may my will burn with the fire of Your charity.
O inestimable Love, how admirable are the things You have done in Your creature! O my wretched, blind soul, where is your cry of gratitude, where are the tears you should shed in the sight of your God who is unceasingly calling to you? Where are all my yearning desires in the sight of divine mercy? They are not in me because I have not yet lost myself, for if I were lost and had sought only You, my God, only the glory and the praise of Your Name, my heart would have thrilled in a hymn of gratitude.
Thanks be to You, o eternal, most high Trinity! I am she who is not and You are He who is. Glorify Yourself by enabling me to praise You. Pardon me, O Father, pardon me who am miserable, and ungrateful to You for the immense benefits I have received. I confess that Your goodness has preserved me, Your spouse, although because of my many defects I have often been unfaithful to You.
Quote 3:
O God, You have seen the weakness of our human nature; You know how weak, frail, and miserable it is; therefore, You, the sovereign Provider, Who in all things have provided for all the needs of Your creatures, You, the perfect repairer, who have given a remedy for all our ills, You gave us the rock and fortitude of will to strengthen the weakness of our flesh. This will is so strong that no demon or creature can conquer it if we do not will it, that is, if our free will, which is in our own hands, does not consent.
O infinite Goodness, where does such great strength in Your creature's will come from? From You, sovereign, eternal Strength, because it shares in the strength of Your will. Hence, we can see that our will is strong to the degree in which it follows Yours, and weak to the degree in which it deviates from Yours because You created our will to the likeness of Your Will, and therefore being in Yours, it is strong.
In our will, O eternal Father, You show the fortitude of Your Will; if You have given so much fortitude to a little member, what should we think Yours to be, O Creator and Ruler of all things?
It seems to me that this free will which You have given us is fortified by the light of faith, for in this light it knows Your will, which wishes nothing but our sanctification. Then our will, fortified and nourished by our holy Faith, gives life to our actions, which explains why neither good will nor lively faith can exist without works. Faith nourishes and maintains the fire of charity, because it reveals to our soul Your love and charity to us, and thus makes it strong in loving You.
Quote 4, especially important in light of Francis and all the travails afflicting the Church and pious souls:
O eternal God, grant me the virtue of perseverance; without it, no one can please You nor be acceptable to You. This virtue brings to the soul an abundance of charity and the fruit of every effort. Oh! how happy I should be, Lord, if You would give me this virtue, because even here on earth it will make me enjoy a pledge of eternal life. But Your light reveals to me that I cannot attain it unless I suffer much, because this life cannot be lived without suffering. he who would escape suffering woulf deprive himself of holy perseverance.
Finally, a bonus from St. Bernard:
No one is so presumptuous that he thinks his justice or holiness is enough to assure his salvation [Unless he is a protestant, or Francis but I repeat]. For this reason I hasten to You, O Jesus: Your Passion is my supreme refuge and sole remedy! It comes to help us when our wisdom fails, when our justice is weak, and the merits of our holiness are useless. When my strength grows weak, I shall not be discouraged. I know what I must do: "I shall take the chalice of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord." Open by eyes, O God, that I may always know what is pleasing to You and then I shall be wise. Pardon the faults of my youth and ignorance, and I shall be just. Lead me, O God, on Your path, and I shall be holy. But if Your Blood does not intercede for me, I shall not be saved.

A reader who shall remain nameless sent the following e-mail a few days ago, and it's very good:
With everything going on around us we tend to have short attention-spans. I think this works in the favor of the "change agents".
One of the continuing sagas that remains in the front of my mind is that of David Daleiden, the young man who filmed the PP doctors openly discussing the sale of aborted baby parts.
It is really astounding to follow this case. It is particularly revealing to see just how much this episode has frightened the abortionists and just how much they are willing to put into bringing the house down on Daleiden. They and their attorneys are doing everything they can to turn the tables on Daleiden and up to this point they have been very successful. It is also revealing to see just how much the "justice" system has cooperated with the abortionists into turning a hero into the villain. Daleiden runs a real risk of doing long jail time and paying hefty extortion money.
I think this case is of particular importance and deserves our attention. If the abortionists and their lapdogs in the judiciary meet with any success they must calculate that his example will go a long way to deter the more feint-of-heart in taking on this powerful cabal.
I'll not go into detail. It is a lengthy story and I think it deserves to be brought to the front of our consciousness. There is plenty of detail on the website of the Center for Medical Progress http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/author/david/ and you can also do a search to read more about it.
I get regular updates from the Thomas More Society, which happens to be the only Catholic pro-life organization that gets any of my money. I'd also encourage you to consider them for donation. https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/
Not to toot my own horn, but I have written about the Center for Medical Progress and David Daleiden a number of times. However, I have not done so of late.
In order to remedy that, and to point out the extreme levels to which the leftist powers that be are going in order to crush this man who humiliated Planned Barrenhood and revealed them for the greedy butchers they are, I bring this recent release from CMP, which indicates not only how CMPs and Daleiden's rights are being trampled, but how intertwined the ruling class is with the evil of mass child slaughter:
Today, David Daleiden and The Center for Medical Progress filed their petition for a writ of certiorari at the United States Supreme Court, appealing the unconstitutional gag order issued by San Francisco Judge William Orrick III against the publication of undercover footage of top-level Planned Parenthood leadership at the National Abortion Federation's annual trade shows. The petition argues that no federal court has ever upheld a prior restraint like Judge Orrick's gag order to suppress speech of overwhelming public interest:
"At issue in this appeal is a gag order, a preliminary injunction imposed specifically for the purpose of hiding information from the public, precisely because the information is of such significant public interest and concern—the procurement and sale of aborted fetal body parts."
CMP project lead David Daleiden says, "Judge Orrick's gag order, issued at the behest of Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation, is an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment by a clearly biased federal judge. Judge Orrick even wants to press his gag order in the California Attorney General's bogus criminal case against me—though he, NAF, and Planned Parenthood insist the gag order only applies to my defense, and not to the Attorney General's bogus prosecution."
As a key leader of the "Good Samaritan Family Resource Center" in San Francisco, Judge Orrick helped open and fund a Planned Parenthood Northern California clinic inside the Center's headquarters. Planned Parenthood Northern California has membership in the National Abortion Federation and is a named plaintiff against CMP and Daleiden in Judge Orrick's courtroom. A motion to disqualify Judge Orrick is still pending.
Just like the Perry v. Hollingsworth case, the case which overturned the California constitutional amendment declaring marriage to be between a man and a woman (remember, just a 6 or 7 year ago, when even a majority of Californians still believed that – that is how fast our culture is collapsing), the bias and corruption of a judiciary completely out of control is on full display here. In Perry, the federal court judge who heard the case was a long-time sodomite and a man who wanted to marry one of his many "partners!" Here we have a federal judge who has a deeply vested interest in protecting and defending Planned Murderhood. Anyone with a shred of decency and legal professionalism would have recused himself from the case, but we all know such traits are unknown among the left-dominated ruling class, who insist upon no rules for themselves, but an endless plethora of rules for everyone else (one can also find out just how connected and blue-blooded Orrick is, his family owns the largest and oldest legal firm on the West Coast and one that is in neck deep with the agents of cultural revolution, and have been for a very long time. Orrick himself raised nearly half a million dollars in support of various demonrat candidates, most especially Obama and Kerry).
So keep following the Daleiden case. I also agree that the Thomas More Society is an excellent group worthy of support. Please pray for the Daleiden family and all those being unconstitutionally persecuted by these seeming worshipers of child sacrifice to Moloch. Pray they keep the faith and their persecutors be undone in their efforts to keep the truth about Planned Murderhood and abortion/contraception from the public.
Saint Alphonsus Liguori on How to Perform Our Actions Well July 19, 2017Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, catachesis, Domestic Church, family, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Holy suffering, mortification, Saints, sanctity, Tradition, true leadership, Virtue.
comments closed
In performing our actions well, the Saint means in the manner most pleasing to God. This excerpt is from The True Spouse of Jesus Christ, a book originally intended for religious, but this section in particular has great relevance for all souls, not only those specifically consecrated to God in religious life (pp. 187-9).
Many times, we may get bogged down with the seemingly dull routine of life. We might find our job less than satisfying. We may be tempted to find as many distractions to get us through the day as possible (like, say, blogging). We might find raising and educating kids very tiresome after 5 or 10 or even 2 years. We might find it a lot more appealing to spend the afternoon on Facebook rather than do the laundry and check the kid's math homework.
Even though our daily actions may not seem glamorous, even though they may eventually come to seem to be a tiresome routine, these constitute (for laity) the duties of our vocation in life and the means God has given us to grow in Grace and virtue. We should not only perform these duties with great diligence, but we should even thank God for these means He gives us to draw nearer to Him in this life.
Begin excerpt:
The following are the means to perform our actions well:
The first means is to preserve during the discharge of our duties a lively sense of the presence of God, that thus every act may be worthy of His divine eyes.
The second means is, to perform every work as if it were the only duty you had to fulfill. When at prayer, let your sole care be to pray well; when you say the Divine Office [which is not enjoined as precept on laity, but which is an extremely beneficial devotion], direct all your attention to the devout recitation of it; when engaged in any employment, your soul concern should be to discharge it well. Think of nothing but the duty in which you are occupied. To examine, during the time of prayer, how you will direct a certain work, or to reflect on the mans of performing some other duty, is a temptation of the enemy. "When," says Saint John of Avila, "any unseasonable thought enters your mind, say: God does not will that I think at this moment on such a subject; and therefore it is not useful for me to reflect upon it: when He commands me, I shall attend to it."
The third means is, to perform every action as if it were the last of your life. St. Anthony frequently recommended this means to his disciples. "In every work," says St. Bernard, "let each one say to himself: If I were about to die, would I do this?" Would I it in in this manner? Were this the last Mass that I should hear, with what devotion would I be present at it?………Were this my last Communion or my last meditation, with what fervor would I perform it? When, says St. Basil, you discharge the duties of the morning, imagine that you shall not live till evening; when night approaches, think that you shall not see morning……….
Four, to think each day only on the labors of the day, is another means which greatly assists weak souls to discharge their duties with fervor. The apprehension of the pains to be endured, in living till death with so much exactness, and in continually resisting self-love, is one of the causes which make many lose courage in the way of God. The best means of conquering this temptation is to imagine each morning that you have but one day to live. Whoever represents to himself that only one day of life remains, will certainly perform all the actions of that day with great perfection. This means is very profitable for weak souls, but strong and perfect Christians do not require to conceal from themselves the labors necessary for the attainment of sanctity; they rejoice in suffering, and pant for opportunities of pleasing God.
Fifth, and finally, to those beginning to walk in the way of perfection it will be very useful to consider that what is in itself difficult and painful will by habit soon become easy and agreeable. I will, says the Holy Ghost, lead thee by the paths of equity; which, when thou shalt have entered, shall not be straightened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not meet a stumbling block (Prov iv:11-12). I will, says the Lord, first conduct you into the narrow paths of virtue; but you shall soon walk through a broad and pleasing way, and there you shall run without difficulties or obstacles. "At first," says St. Bernard, writing to Pope Eugenius, "some duty will seem intolerable; if you accustom yourself to it, in process of time it will not appear so difficult; afterwards you shall not feel it; and in the end you will delight in it." Behold with your eyes, says Ecclesiasticus, how I have labored a little, and have found much rest to myself (Eccl li:35).
———-End Quote———–
Do you find it difficult to present to yourself each day or night as your last? This is something I – I'm not sure struggle with is the right phrase – I have not developed the habit of or accustomed myself to. It seems something very much worth trying, for both embracing some of my more prosaic duties and overcoming some attachments I have so far been unable to separate myself from. If you have experience with these methods, please share, or if you try them, let me know how they work out.

My son has another MRI tomorrow. This year of Our Lord two-thousand and seventeen has really been our annus horribilis, not just with my son's brain tumor diagnosis but a dozen other things as well. We're facing myriad challenges on many fronts. We're having a major problem with almost every child. One is mired in persistent scruples. Another is sinking into depression. Others have suddenly decided to flake out academically. And my son, even if his tumor is not growing, which I pray it is not, is having some severe behavioral problems, we think related to the anti-seizure medication, which we've changed, but we aren't really sure. And academically he's really struggling, at least with reading. Of course he has dyslexia which may be being caused by his tumor. And all these are only some of the more major items.
My wife is about at her wits end. She about came apart this morning and needs as much prayer support as my son does.
I know I don't post much lately and maybe I've been testy because I am just about overwhelmed myself but I know the power of prayer and would greatly appreciate your support. We have always been incredibly blessed by Our Lord and Savior but with great blessings frequently comes heavy crosses. This is our time to bear particular crosses. Our Lord is desiring us to grow in our faith and in our reliance on Him, but it's not an easy trial to experience. I – we – cannot do it alone. So I appreciate your support more than words can say and pray for all of your daily, particularly if I am aware of a special need and generally for all the rest.
God bless you and thank you and I appreciate your patience while I am in a time in my life where sharing the Faith with others through words has to take a back seat to more pressing matters. May God have mercy on us all in these trying times.
Catholics Banned From Doing Business in Leftist City June 8, 2017Posted by Tantumblogo in asshatery, cultural marxism, disaster, General Catholic, Holy suffering, horror, paganism, persecution, Revolution, scandals, secularism, self-serving, sickness, Society, unadulterated evil.

This is only just the beginning, folks. That's what all these sodo-marriage and non-gender-binary-otherkin restroom laws are all about, making being Christian more or less illegal, subject to state persecution at any time. Now, this was a typical leftist college town in Michigan (East Lansing – home of Michuguna State), but these same "non-discrimination" laws are being passed all over. Dallas has them. Houston has them. Austin and San Antonio have them in spades. So if you refuse to support pseudo-sodo-marriage, or have a problem with a grown male pervert with beard and horrid makeup sharing restroom space with your daughter, get out of town, bigot:
[F]or the past seven years, Steve Tennes and his family have sold their produce at the farmer's market owned by the city of East Lansing.
But this year – city officials told the devout Catholic family that their blueberries and sweet corn were not welcome at the farmer's market – and neither were they.
Last year, someone posted a message on Country Mill's Facebook page inquiring about whether they hosted same-sex weddings at the farm. [Now why would one even ask this about a random farm, unless some digging had already been done and this was an attempt to cause trouble for the family? I am extremely dubious this was an innocent request]
Tennes told the individual they did not permit same-sex marriages on the farm because of the family's Catholic belief that marriage is a sacramental union between one man and one woman.
City officials later discovered the Facebook posting and began immediate action to remove Country Mill from the Farmer's Market – alleging the family had violated the city's discrimination ordinance. [So they didn't respond to a complaint, they actively sought out the offense and then began prosecution]
"It was brought to our attention that The Country Mill's general business practices do not comply with East Lansing's Civil Rights ordinances and public policy against discrimination as set forth in Chapter 22 of the City Code and outlined in the 2017 Market Vendor Guidelines, as such, The Country Mill's presence as a vendor his prohibited by the City's Farmer's Market Vendor Guidelines," read a letter the city sent to the family.
It also did not seem to matter to city leaders that the farm is located 22 miles outside the city limits – and had absolutely nothing to do with the business of selling blueberries at the farmer's market.
"We were surprised and we were shocked," Steve told me. "My wife and I both volunteered to serve in the military – to protect freedom now we come home and the freedom that we worked to protect – we have to defend in our own backyard."
I reached out to city leaders but they did not return my calls seeking comment.
"Whether you are a Jew, Muslim or Christian – people of faith should not be eradicated from the marketplace simply because they don't share the same thoughts and ideas that the government is choosing to promote," Steve told me.
So they have decided to fight for their constitutional rights. [And note this is very different from refusing to bake a cake for a fake wedding. This is about searching out and persecuting heretics from the sexular pagan religion.]
Alliance Defending Freedom filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday alleging East Lansing violated the constitutional rights of the Tennes family.
"All Steve wants to do is sell his food to anyone who wants to buy it, but the city isn't letting him," said ADF Legal Counsel Kate Anderson. "People of faith, like the Tennes family, should be free to live and work according to their deeply held beliefs without fear of losing their livelihood. If the government can shut down a family farmer just because of the religious views he expresses on Facebook—by denying him a license to do business and serve fresh produce to all people—then no American is free."
I warned you about this kind of attack in my new book, "The Deplorables' Guide to Making America Great Again." The attacks on religious liberty did not end just because a Republican is in the White House.
There is a concerted effort by the Left to silence free speech and eradicate Christianity from the public marketplace. The only course of action is to stand and fight.
You may have no concern about "gay marriage," but the gay marriage zealots are very interested in you. You will be brought to heel. You will be made to give them the affirmation they crave, and can never get enough of. Otherwise, they will make you suffer.
Check out the atheist Catholic college professor in the comments. Constantly bashes and denigrates God. Natural fit for a Katholyc Klown Kollege. He also seems to be a communist. As such, he's probably near the median belief set for Catholic college professors since the Council. Leftism is this guy's true religion, and he will brook no apostasy nor any competition.

MINONG, Wis. – Jack Link's iconic spokescreature, Sasquatch, is letting it all hang out in ESPN The Magazine's 2016 body issue. With nothing more than a forest raccoon, and his flowing hair to cover himself, the 8' 1", 374 lb., hairy beast shows readers his idea of the perfect, athletic build.
The 2016 body issue celebrates bodies of all shapes and sizes, and it needs a 2-page spread to fit Sasquatch's in. A shy creature, Sasquatch was comfortable during the shoot and seemed to enjoy the hair and makeup process of professional photography, often admiring himself in front of the mirror. However, his less than refined social skills did present the occasional challenge while photographers and crew worked to get the best content they could.
A companion ad featuring Jack Link's jerky accompanies the spread.
"Sasquatch was born with a physique reminiscent of a Greek sculpture – a very furry Greek sculpture," said Tom Dixon, chief marketing officer at Jack Link's. "It's not always easy to get a good look at Sasquatch, so we're excited to give the world an opportunity to admire him in all his natural glory."
Sasquatch also attended this year's Body at ESPYS event in the signature outfit of his own hairy skin (the only outfit he owns).
Jack Link's hosted a jerky and beer pairing bar, giving guests a chance to explore their wild side throughout the night.

The overall value of your home also comes into play when figuring out how much you will have to pay for homeowner's insurance. Generally, the more valuable your home, the more money you will have to pay to insure it. This is because expensive homes cost more to repair or replace than lower cost homes.
The deductible that you choose for your policy will also affect your rate. A policy with a higher deductible will generally cost less than one with a low deductible. Although the thought of a lower monthly payment may be appealing, make sure that you have the money on hand to meet your deductible in case anything goes wrong. Otherwise, you could be left in a bind with no way to repair your home.Interestingly, the distance of your home from the nearest fire hydrant can also come into play when determining how much you have to pay for insurance. Insurers tend to prefer homes that have a fire hydrant nearby. This helps ensure that first responders can act quickly in the event of a fire, helping to minimize damage as much as possible.
All of these factors come into play when getting China Grove, NC homeowner's insurance quotes. If you want to keep your costs as low as possible, consider choosing a policy with less coverage or with a higher deductible. Just make sure that you fully understand how these decisions will affect you if you ever need to file a claim.

CHATHAM TWP. - The Corpus Christi parish Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) seventh grade girls' basketball team is having an upbeat season under first-year head coach Larry McCann.
McCann, a veteran in coaching youth basketball, jumped at the opportunity to coach this year's seventh grade girls' team.
"Coaching basketball is important to me, as I can instill life lessons at a formative time," explained McCann.
"The art of practice, discipline and teamwork make basketball a model sport to coach," he observed.
And the girls are responding. They entered January having won two of their past three games, and are playing very competitive basketball every time they take the court.
Parents Assist
Assisting coach McCann are three enthusiastic parents, Patrick Sullivan, Joseph Viscovich and Katie Kuyk, all playing a key role in the team's recent success.
"Corpus Christi allows parents to volunteer as coaches, which enables a stronger bond between parent and child, under the auspices of a great CYO program," said Viscovich.
Kuyk said she saw basketball as "integral to a player's athletic, academic and spiritual development" within the CYO program.
Sullivan agreed and added, "I am fully supportive of girls playing CYO basketball and hope that the program continues to grow, and we can have more than two girls' teams at each of the JV and Varsity levels."
The team's home court is the Corpus Christi gym in the parish complex at 234 Southern Blvd. in Chatham Township. Games are played Sunday afternoons. For information about Corpus Christi's growing CYO basketball program, visit www.leaguelineup.com/corpuschristicyo.

Is too much Gehry never enough?
There are literally dozens and dozens of Frank Gehry-designed buildings scattered across the globe and more in the pipeline. Even Sydney's University of Technology
Jul 3, 2012
There are literally dozens and dozens of Frank Gehry-designed buildings scattered across the globe and more in the pipeline. Even Sydney's University of Technology
Other officials at the scene were surprised this happened despite the use of reflective materials, which experts agree reduce the risk of collisions. No witnesses have come forward to confirm who or what collided with the building. Mahoney added, "Well at least the facility had a helmet on, who knows how much worse it could have been without one."The image has been picked up by others who have something to say about the continuing bicycle helmet debate. I suppose the argument is that a helmet is about as useful for your head as it is for a building. Maybe also the weight of the helmet is crushing the building like helmets are crushing cycling? I like Frank Gehry and at 82 he's way too young to give up architecture. But I wish he'd find a new schtick. He might take note of these words by an artist who's reinvented himself a few times over a long career: "My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet".
Frank Gehry is to architecture as Andre Rieu is to music.
Gehry's work has been shallow and glitzy for a very long time, but clearly a lot of people do enjoy culture-lite.
The problem with buildings is that they hang around. Unlike junk art, they are hard to hide when they become embarrasing. While we can ignore Jeff Koons, or Andre Rieu, we have to deal with the fall out from an inadequate building for a very long time.
Frank's work is likely to be very dated very quickly, (remember Michael Graves?) and of course, most of it has suffered from serious functional issues and significant cost overruns. UTS may yet live to regret their foolish decision to commission Frank to design their new Business School.
While ever clients demand a recognisable design brand, instead of a commitment to a design process, we will have starchitetcts producing buildings which are only vaguely functional and barely acknowledge their site or social context, just as we will have more Louis Vuitton luggage and more Alessi kettles.
That this is not a good model for the design of buildings (or suitcases) should be self evident, but unless clients develop the self-confidence to differentiate good design from flim-flam, Andre Rieu, Jeff Koons, Frank Gehry, Louis Vuitton and their profits are all safe for now.
I've been saying it for years. He is proving himself to be a one trick pony–and the pony isn't really his either! Most starchitects are similar though Gehry is a bit extreme. Pure mannerism. There's a lot of it about (Daniel Libeskind springs immediately to mind). This is not true for the greats. I think AD is right about Lloyd-Wright even though there are problems with his works too. I would say one should compare Gehry with today's unarguable "great", Norman Foster, whose varied output is breathtaking in scope, imagination and aesthetics (design to solve problems that also is beautiful).
Let me bore further by reposting this:
michael r james Posted March 22, 2012 at 1:28 pm
Indeed there is much wrong with this whole starchitect phenomenon. I am very much in two minds about Gehry and his buildings.
Yes, the Bilbao Guggenheim is spectacular eye candy (though no way do I accept it as better than the SOH as some try to suggest) but as for its actual function: meh. Inside it has a sterile gargantuanism and as curators and art critics have pointed out, it cannot be used for anything other than equally gigantic artworks–which means a lot of very dubious stuff (eg Serra's gigantic wavy rusting steel plates; left me unmoved; the only other thing I remember is Jeff Koon's giant flower dog which was in an outside courtyard).
The other thing I don't quite appreciate about Gehry is that he doesn't really design "his" buildings. He does a bunch of squiggles on paper. If he gets a commission he then gets a team of experts to turn into something that can be built. While all modern architects have to work with large teams it is not the way of the architects I really admire, not just Utzon (is there anything Gehry has actually done himself, even conceptually, that compares with either Utzon's original vision or his solution of the shells, even if Arup want to grab a lot of the credit?) but especially Foster. But also, to take another controversial architect whose facades are famous for their quirkiness, Gaudi; however his buildings are truly marvellous, inside and out, and very carefully designed and crafted–neither is true of Gehry buildings no matter how many computer hours are expended in working out to build such impractical shapes.
And I agree about the cost issue: it is merely for two things, fancy cosmetics when viewed from certain angles, and the recursive nonsense of having a building designed by a starchitect. And there are other costs too. MIT are currently suing Gehry over their Stata building (a mere $300M, no doubt partly funded by a rich benefactor who was wooed partly by promising a starchitect building) because of structural problems. An example: "Mr. Gehry had rejected (the) formal request to revise the design for the center's 350-seat outdoor amphitheater, whose poor drainage has been a large part of the problem. The suit says that within months of the center's opening, it essentially started coming apart, with "considerable masonry cracking" in the amphitheater's seating areas."
The Disney auditorium in LA which is a clone of Bilbao, has had to put drapery over some of those titanium walls because they were so reflective at certain times of day that the buildings around it ended up suing Disney over it (they were being blinded).
And now it is not just Gehry but the whole army of imitators in his footsteps. For all the wrong reasons as Alan says. Merely the desire to be "different" (though copying a style is hardly that) and essentially ignoring the most important thing in a building, its function, or at least always compromising function over a dubious form.]
These buildings need their own space as is the case for the SOH because they are objects not architecture. Sydney needed the SOH and was a great investment paid for many times its cost, but the building in Harris St is stuck in a very dreary block of land in a very dreary area. If Sydney had some urban design, as all great cities do, we could get away with some more objects
PS please leave the SOH alone and stop trying to make it work, its a wasteland at the moment.
One assumes, of course, that whatever the outside looks like, the rationale of the inside is "fit for purpose". If that is the case, then one can just dismiss it as "Blott on the Landscape".
One then thinks of a building designed the opposite way, gorgeous outside, inside "unfit for purpose". This is, of course, the Sydney Opera House. Whatever the outside looked like, it should never have been built – it contravened the requirements of the competition and was too small.
And on the same site, Fort Macquarie Tram Depot – outside vaguely in line with the surrounds (defending the First Landing Place in Sydney Cove, together with Pinchgut) and inside totally fit for purpose.
Now which of the three was a 'good building'? (Define this how you will!).
