Skip to comments.Popes Possible Successor Promotes Marxist for Sainthood
Posted on 02/11/2013 8:25:30 PM PST by ubipetrusest
...Cardinal Timothy Dolan, reported to be in the running to replace Pope Benedict XVI as the head of the Roman Catholic Church, is usually described as a conservative because he has strongly criticized President Obamas attacks on religious liberty and federal intrusions into church affairs. But Dolan is also the leader of the campaign to promote Marxist Dorothy Day for Sainthood.
One report asks, Could Timothy Dolan Become The First American Pope? Dolan, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB,) is considered the voice of U.S. Catholicism.
But Carol Byrne, author of "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis," says Dolan manipulated a vote by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops last November to move forward with the canonization of Dorothy Day....
In a letter obtained by this journalist, Virginia State Senator Richard H. Dick Black was so disgusted by the push for sainthood for Dorothy Day that he told the Pope on January 7, 2013, that he was appalled that a woman of such loathsome character would be considered for sainthood.
Black, a retired Marine Corps colonel, noted that Vatican archives are filled with reports of Christians martyred under the regimes that Dorothy Day supported. I am revolted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops support for the canonization of a woman whose views supported the violent extermination of Christians throughout the world. I ask that these matters be carefully weighed so that the Holy See will not be inadvertently misled when considering the canonization of Dorothy Day.
As a Marine pilot, Black fought the communists. He flew 269 combat missions in Vietnam and was wounded during fierce ground fighting with the 1st Marine Regiment.
I am particularly concerned about her support for Ho Chi Minh, Black said in his letter.

There is zero chance that Dolan will be Pope. From Benedict to Dolan.. no.
I remember seeing somewhere a bookie had the odds of Dolan becoming Pope as twice as much as an American being selected as Pope.
Of course, Cardinal Martini had the odds last time too, and he walked out the same as he entered.
True- no way, no how.
Nonsense. Dolan is not in the running for anything
The College of Cardinals ain't about to go slumming!
I can't imagine the Vatican looking to the US for the next Pope. This country has wayyy too many morality issues.
Dorothy Day was *not* a Marxist. She was a Distributist - an economic view championed by G K Chesterton and Hillaire Belloc - hardly Marxists.
I surely pray you are correct. There are many things I do not *like* about Cardinal Dolan.
At this point, The Church needs a true conservative Pope who will be hardline—and unequivocally denounce Marxism/Socialism/homosexuality loudly-—like it did before Vatican II. Those who elevate such evil ideology or allow it to pervade culture without LOUD condemnation is putting a seal of approval on the behavior.
Marxism, which includes sexual perversions, is the most insidious ideology which uses people as a "means to an end" and is destroying the worldview of children. You can not be a Christian and a Marxist. They are exclusive. There are Marxists in the clergy who have to be weeded out. It is unacceptable.
Until Vatican II, Socialism/Communism was strongly and regularly condemned and criticized—as was Freemasonry and Secret Societies and Homosexuality. Not so much anymore and people *think* they are all OK because it gets a pass-—or worse, Catholic money goes to promote organizations which support Marxist policy or abortions or "Human" rights (homosexuality) or "social justice"(Marxism). It blurs good and evil (intentionally).
After all, Catholics put a Marxist in the White House and Marxists like Ted Kennedy in the Senate. It is because of the corruption of Catholic Theology by the Bishops in the US and Europe that refuses to educate Catholics on Sin, like prior to Vatican II. (They won't be "popular" if they preach about contraception evil and sexual sin or evils of welfare states).
Time the Church got some you-know-what and quit caring about "what people will think". They have to hit hard with the TRUTH! It is all about Truth and Saving Souls——that is it. We have to get a person who isn't afraid to be unpopular and despised——because if he is "good"—he will be.
Bob Cardinal Dolan? Who knew?
Yes. Shame that all the operative words (liberalism, distributism, capitalism, socialism, and so many others) have "evolved." The Molly Maguires are no longer necessary to confront the early evils of America's Industrial Revolution. Funny though—Three Acres and a Cow came well after Five Acres and a Mule.
Did she not quit being a communist once she became a Catholic?
No American will ever be Pope. Look to south America as a place for the new Pope—maybe east Europe? Perhaps Spain? many changes are coming to the Roman Catholic Church in the next decades—a tough, devout vicar is needed. A Younger man this time to heal the branches of the Universal Church and make an alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church as we face the storm of radical Islam and the power of the secular progressives and socialists.
For Dorothy Day "distributism" meant that property should be "distributed" equitably, transferred from those who have "too much" to those who have "too little"—no wonder Obama called Day one the "great social reformers" at the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast. Carol Byrne, in "The Catholic Worker [CW] Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis" (2010, p. 198) states: "Clearly, Day was only interested in what she termed 'the communal aspect of property.' As far as dwellings were concerned, Day advocated OCCUPANCY rather than private ownership. She accepted Kropotkin's idea of the 'right' of needy people to enter family homes and occupy spare rooms in them." In the November 1964 "CW," Day declared: "It seems to me that anything that threatens money or property, anything that aims at a more equitable distribution of this world's goods, has always been called communism. I like the word myself; it makes me think of the communism of the religious orders." In the July-August 1969 "CW," Day had more to say: "'The more property becomes common—the more it becomes holy.'... But to do away with private property is a mortal sin in our system.... Certainly the Catholic [religious communities] have always profited by an increase of land and wealth so that persecution has come over and over again. The corporate wealth is then taken away, but later accumulates again. Fortunately, the Papal States were wrested from the Church in the last century, but there is still the problem of investment of papal funds. It is always a cheering thought to me that if we have good will and are still unable to find remedies for the economic abuses of our time, in our family, our parish, and the mighty church as a whole, God will take matters in hand and do the job for us. When I saw the Garibaldi mountains in British Columbia . . . I said a prayer for his soul and blessed him for being the instrument of so mighty a work of God. May God use us!"
Yes, and Dorothy Day's mishmash of Catholic devotional and doctrinal language with the Marxist terms she used throughout her life—the masses, the workers, the bourgeois, the class war are some of the most frequent—has contributed greatly to the mess.
No, her writings and actions show that she never gave up her "radical" beliefs, but sought to create a "Christian Communism" in the Catholic Church. She maintained friendships and working relationships with prominent US Communists Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who was one of the US Party's founders and later its Chair; Mike Gold, "Daily Worker" columnist and author of the "proletariat" novel "Jews Without Money," which she praised to "CW" readers; and Anna Louise Strong, her fellow journalist and propagandist, who received a state funeral in Moscow. Day was an invited "observer" at the 16th Annual Convention of the Communist Party USA, although the press was excluded. Day praised "Papa Marx" and Lenin, who she wrote "went about doing good," in the April 1948 "CW." She defended the guilty Rosenbergs and Black Panther Bobby Seale; she recommended Saul Alinsky's books and praised his efforts in the May 1966 "CW." (Perhaps Cardinal Dolan needs to take time to read the "CW.")
Day was also called "Moscow Mary," an epithet based on her actions: "I have spoken at Carnegie Hall against the Smith and McCarron acts, with Communists and fellow travellers; others of us have walked on picket lines protesting the payment of income tax and lastly there have been four days of picketing the Spanish consulate in New York in protest against the executions of the five Spanish trade unionists. These last demonstrations were headed by Norman Thomas, the highly respected Socialist, and included the aid of the I. W. W., Catholics, the Independent Socialist League and others. I assume the Communists were not invited" ("CW," April 1952). For more details, see Carol Byrne's "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis" and her "Complete Supplementary Notes," available at "Dorothy Day Another Way."
The odds are small, but Dolan's name has been included in the first round of media possibilities for Pope, or as campion would rightly say, "impossibilities."
I couldn't agree with you more, savagesusie; the corruption of the US Church—and its failure to preach the truth—led to the election of a modern-day Herod as President of the USA. This infidelity has also enabled the cause of the great Communizer Dorothy Day to be treated as legitimate! You speak of the link between Marxism and sexual immorality, and the latter was a recurring problem at the CW farms, one that Day enabled.
The "Catholic Worker" has as much "right" to its name as the "National Catholic Reporter." If only Cardinal Spellman had not retreated when Day repeatedly refused to remove "Catholic" from the paper's name. God bless Bishop Finn for standing firm.
Cardinal Dolan would be a poor choice for Pope. While trying to do good, he has unwisely aided and abetted enemies of the Church, such as Big Brother Obama and the rabidly pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage NY City Council Speaker, declared lesbian and "Catholic" Christine Quinn. Quinn had a great a photo op as she handed out free turkeys with Dolan in November 2011. Seven months later Quinn had the photo on her desk for show-and-tell and stated: He is a leading religious, but more significantly a leading civic and public figure who has a lot of influence in this city in a lot of ways. The way he uses that influence around immigration issues, around poverty issues are ones that I often agree with, and often will ask for his help with. How he uses that influence around choice and womens issues and LGBT issues are not ones that I agree with. And he knows that. And weve had those conversations. But I dont think its useful for me to shut down communication with anybody ever ("As Citys Political Heat Rises, Quinn Treads Carefully, Confidently," "Gay City News," June 21, 2012, http://gaycitynews.com/as-citys-political-heat-rises-quinn-treads-carefully-confidently/).
My favorite Dorothy Day quote is the following:
Dorothy Day was not a political theorist, but a broom-pushing, bread-baking, rosary-praying Personalist. You don' have to believe just me: here's 21,000 sources that say the same:
Of course, this is a different perspective than you'd get from "Tradition in Action," the source of a great deal of the anti-Dorothy-Day propaganda. You can see all that at their website --- not that I'd recommend anyone going there, because it is full of shocking attacks on the past five Popes as well.
So instead...
I think with the planned stepping down of this present Pope from a western country, Germany, most likely the next Pope will come from what is considered a "global south" country, Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Maybe even eastern Europe, maybe an eastern rite Catholic from that part of the world who can with the help of God work to bring greater Christian unity.
I think the Church is rapidly getting over the excesses after Vatican II.
If Pope John Paul II didn't fight against communism, I don't know anyone who did. And, if Pope Benedict didn't fight against the homosexual agenda, I don't know who did.
I fully expect the next Pope to continue.
It seems to me the author of this article is really stretching to make Dolan "possible successor" and slamming Day in order to... who knows? Make an emotional article that seems to have relevance the topic of Pope Benedict's resignation?
Big Fail.
I suppose. But her sympathies were all over the map, extending at various times to anarchism, communism, pacifism.
People who have gotten used to routinely labeling their political opponents Marxist may have a better case with Day than with today's run-of-the mill US politicians given her sympathy with Castro and Guevara, even though her theism and Marx's atheism excluded each other.
Saying it doesn't make it so, Mrs. Don-O. You write: "Dorothy Day's economic justice ideals were the polar opposite of Communism. Communism stands for Total State Power subsuming and replacing every other institution: family, church, the entirety of civil society. Personalism eschews State power to support voluntary poverty as a basis for voluntary charity."
If only this were correct. Day never lost her admiration for the economic and social policies of Communist states, although she did leave atheism behind and could not "condone" the violence that achieved these "reforms." She attempted to create a "Christian communism." After Pius XII"s "Decree Against Communism" was published, Day declared herself "an ex-Communist," stating: "Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life. We don't think it's worth maintaining. We and the Communists have a common idea that something else is necessary, some other vision of society must be held up to be worked for." ("Beyond Politics," "Catholic Worker" [CW,] November 1949). In the same article she wrote: "[Communists] believe, of course, that violence will come. (So do we when it comes down to it, and we are praying it won't.) They believe that it will be forced upon the workers by the class struggle which is going on all around us now. . . . Class war is a fact and one does not need to advocate it. The Communists point to it as forced upon them, and say that when it comes they will take part in it, and in their plans they want to prepare the ground, and win as many as possible to their point of view and for their side. And where will we be on that day?"
When Pope John XXIII excommunicated Fidel Castro in January 1962, Day traveled a few months later to Cuba and then wrote several articles on the "social advances" achieved there (CW, September 1962-February 1963). She praised farming communes in Red China. She believed in a compulsory form of "voluntary poverty," as the aim of the CW is—in her own words—"to MAKE the rich poor and the poor holy" (capitals added).
She consistently attacked "Holy Mother the State" in non-Communist societies such as the US, but accepted her daughter Tamar receiving $360 a month for her children and "something for herself" from the State of Vermont after Tamar and her husband separated (Day notes this in her diary, "The Duty of Delight," 2011, p.325). Day's economic theories do not seem to apply to everyday nuclear families not living in communal arrangements. (By the way, she never gave an equivalent term for Marxist countries—Unholy Father Soviet?)
Sadly, Tamar and children also fell away from the Faith, and Day writes in 1967 of being the only one attending Christmas Mass ("Duty of Delight," p. 427).
Your claim that Day was not a "political theorist" gave me my laugh of the day. She studied Kropotkin as a college student, and then Peter Maurin broadened her knowledge of his works, as she reveals in "From Union Square to Rome" and "The Long Loneliness." One need only read her CW columns to see how aware she was of movements within the Communist Party and who was who. She often did not bother to inform readers of the details about her Communist friends. She was also an admirer of Saul Alinsky (CW, May 1966) and endorsed his call for a massive public authority similar to the TVA to be set up: "He envisages something like the Tennessee Valley Authority with the use of the billions to build villages, schools, hospitals, roads, and all else needed."
Most of the articles on Day's cause are long on praise for her love of the poor, and short on her unchanged Marxist views and other facts. The answer to Day's fitness is found in her own writings. A "softer, gentler" Dorothy is being fabricated by her admirers (and thankfully is being questioned in the "Comments" to the articles). For example, CW Brian Terrell questioned the veracity of, and publicized his inability to find one of Day's statements. For your and his information, here is the statement and its source: "Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system" (Dorothy Day, from a public speech, "Women on War," Daniela Gioseffi, ed., 1988, pp. 103, 371).
Similarly, Robert Ellsberg— editor of the CW under Day's tutelage for five years and now editor of her Selected Writings, Selected Letters, and Diary (cited above)—claims that the matter of the CW changing its name was "not raised again" after Day wrote a conciliatory letter to the New York Chancery ("Duty of Delight," p. 169). However, CWs Michael Harrington, Ammon Hennacy, and Jim Forest stated that the issue recurred (Carol Byrne, "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis," 2010, pp. 206-208).
In addition to the homespun quotes you propose, more quotes of Dorothy Day are available at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dorothy_Day and at http://dorothydayworker.blogspot.com/2012/10/sayings-and-writings-by-dorothy-day.html
Indeed, sadly. (Love your screen-name.)
Dolan seem pretty fitting to me.
Dorothy Day can be his Valerie Jarrett.
Sounds like a commie to me.
Thank you for noticing! "Where Peter is, there is the Church," or "Ubi Petrus [est], ibi Ecclesia."
What would Fr. Guido Sarducci say? Perhaps, "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:43-45.
Thanks for sharing. LOL.
Seems like it. "The God of the Copybook Headings" is pertinent. I doubt Dorothy Day or Cardinal Dolan would appreciate Rudyard Kipling's poem—it has such wisdom in even the few stanzas below:
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
I am firmly of the opinion that nearly all social, cultural, and governmental issues can be correctly resolved by referring to Kipling's poems.
Terrorism? The Grave of a Hundred Head and Arithmetic on the Frontier
Islamism? Kitchener's School
Socialism (and especially Obamacare!)? An Imperial Rescript
Society and Culture in general? The Gods of the Copybook Headings.
Religion and State? Requiem and Hymn before Battle.
All the answers are there, but Gods of the Marketplace and their followers ignore them because they are not pretty, "fair" or "politically correct." So the lights go out in Rome and the Gods of the Copybook Headings limp up to explain it once more...
Birds of a feather!
Thanks, it will be good to to check more of Kipling's poems.

PRICE- On Sat., Jan. 6, 2007 at 12:30 p.m. our sweet mom and grandmother, Sylvia Brazier LeMaster Clerico, 92 years old, passed into God's hands in the silence of winter, leaving this earthly life to go to a better place.
She was born to Joseph Ray Brazier, her father and Daisy Malone Brazier, her mother, in Drumright, Okla; the middle child with one older brother Roy, deceased, and one younger sister Daisy Inez, also deceased.
Mom was married in a grain elevator in Texas to Ralph LeMaster, a marriage that lasted 31 wonderful years until Dad passed away in 1967. Their love for each other was shared with Granny Brazier and her two adopted daughters Patricia Ann and Suzette Marie. Years later, after we were raised, Mother married Pete Clerico, May 26, 1973, who became endearingly known as "Grandpa Pete" to all of us. He later died July 6, 1983 with Mother by his side.
Her guidance, love, and religious beliefs were exemplified to everyone she knew while working all those years at J.C. Pennys, participating in Eastern Stars and attending the Baptist Church. It was at that little church in Price where we kids grew up; where through her example, we received her heartfelt gift of faith and love. Mom was a member of that church more than 40 years, always sitting in the fifth pew back on the left-hand side, loyal to the end. To all of us, she was both ends of the rainbow, an inspiration to us all, and the kindest person you would ever have the pleasure to know.
Mom is survived by her two daughters Suzette Marie Williams, (husband Orvil, deceased) of Wellington, Patricia Ann Dalpiaz and husband Paul of St. George. Her grandchildren are Le Williams, (deceased), Patrick of Tacoma, Ralph of Helper, Malinda Dunnam of Taos, New Mexico; Jeane Alfaro of Wellington and Jessica Daisy Dalpiaz of Salt Lake City, Utah. She leaves behind 14 great grandchildren and four great, great grandchildren.
A celebration of her life will be held at the First Baptist Church of Price at 11 a.m. on Wed., Jan. 10, 2007, located at 200 North 300 East in Price. Family will be at the church Wednesday one hour prior to service. Interment in the Price City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements under the direction of Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.
It was Mother's wish, being the humble person that she was, that in lieu of flashy flowers, a donation in kind be made in her memory to the First Baptist Church of Price, P.O. Box 838, Price, Utah 84501.
CLEVELAND- Elva Maria Davis McFarlane Wayne, "A True Lady," age 96 died on Thurs., Jan. 4, 2007 at home with her family gathered around her.

Elva married Rex McFarlane on Oct. 23, 1931. This marriage was later sealed in the Manti Temple.
Elva loved to garden; she fed her family with her garden and brightened lives with her beautiful flowers. She was a beautiful seamstress, quilt maker and an artist, beginning painting in her 80s. She loved being the "Avon Lady" and this brought many friends into her life. She held many positions in the LDS church including Sunday School Secretary and Relief Society Counselor. She was the Cleveland Town Clerk for many years, Assistant Postmistress, and Judge of Election. She helped raise money for the Cleveland Cemetery and spent many hours helping make it the most beautiful cemetery in the area. She was a lovely lady, always frugal and hardworking. She raised her children with the values she had been taught by her parents.
She is survived by her children; Shawna Minchey, Ernie (Joy Lynn) McFarlane of Cleveland, and Delvin (Juanita) McFarlane of Price; sisters, Jane (Norman) Warner, South Jordan; Margaret (Ronald) Jones, Grantsville; Norma (Everett) Walters, Salt Lake City; and Colleen (Alan) Pearson, Riverton; 12 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren and 39 great-great-grandchildren.

Argentina caused the first upset of the November internationals after beating Wales 26-12 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Argentina caused the first upset of the November internationals after beating Wales 26-12 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.
When Wales had possession they were guilty of forcing passes, and their high error-count merely played into Argentina's hands. The only positive note for a disjointed home team was that they were in front approaching the last quarter of the match.
But that's as good as it got for the hosts, before the Pumas scored two quickfire tries through wingers Juan Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho to open up a sizeable lead which they never relinquished.
It was only the second win for Argentina in Cardiff and their first since 2001, whilst Wales were dealt a woeful fourth defeat on the trot.
Argentina dominated the opening exchanges and were on the scoreboard first through the boot of their evergreen centre Felipe Contepomi, but Wales were quick to level proceedings thanks to a Leigh Halfpenny penalty.
A drop-goal from Pumas pivot Nicolas Sanchez a few minutes later put his team back in front, however disaster then struck for the South Americans when Contepomi was stretchered off the field after taking a knock to the knee.
As soon as the 35-year-old was off the pitch, Halfpenny rubbed further salt into the Pumas' wounds with his second penalty of the match to draw the scores level (6-6) once again in the thirteenth minute.
The Pumas continued to dominate for long periods in the first half and should have had more than six points for their efforts. They came close to scoring the first try, only for Gonzalo Tiesi to spill a cross-field grubber from Gonzalo Camacho forward with the tryline begging.
In what was an unspectacular first half thus far, Wales suffered a setback of their own when Jamie Roberts was forced off the pitch in the 24th minute after clashing heads with Tiesi – both sides now without their first-choice inside centres.
But it wasn't all doom and gloom for Wales as the hosts took the lead three minutes later for the first time in the match courtesy of another Halfpenny penalty (9-6). However on the stroke of half-time, Alun Wyn Jones was the next Wales casuality after the lock left the field clutching his wrist.
The second half proved more eventful, as Argentina once again got out of their starting blocks first only for Sanchez to miss two early shots at goal – six points down the toilet. Halfpenny then showed the Pumas goal-kicker how it was done after nailing his fourth successive penalty to extend Wales' lead (12-6).
But while Sanchez failed from the tee, he was on target with another drop-goal to close the gap to three points and keep the pressure on the Grand Slam winners.
For 55 minutes, Wales were still in the game. But that was all about to change when Argentina produced two well-timed scores.
Their forwards initially made the hard yards, with number eight Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe delivering a scoring pass to Imhoff,, who galloped over from 20 metres out.
And before Wales could recover, Camacho found himself on the end of a Juan Martin Hernandez pass as the Pumas posted a second try in the space of four minutes – both were converted by Sanchez, who would go on to seal the deal with a late penalty.
Man of the match: For Wales, their front row deserves a pat on the back for matching the Pumas at scrum-time. And of course, Leigh Halfpenny did well from the tee. For Argentina – take your pick! From 1-15, everyone put their body on the line from start to finish. But if we have to single out one player, it has to be captain and number eight Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe who once again led from the front superbly – surely a front-runner for an IRB Player of the Year nomination.
Moment of the match: Juan Imhoff's try gave the Pumas a shout at victory, but Gonzalo Camacho's effort simply confirmed it.
Villain of the match: No malice to report.
The scorers:
For Wales:
Pens: Halfpenny 4
For Argentina:
Tries: Imhoff, Camacho
Cons: Sanchez 2
Pens: Contepomi, Sanchez

When You Intermarry
Document Actions
A Resource for Inter-Christian,
Intercultural Couples, Parents
and Families
by Father Charles Joanides
Intermarried couples from different Christian and cultural backgrounds encounter unique challenges that single-church, single-cultural couples do not face. When You Intermarry describes these challenges from the perspective of hundreds of couples who participated in the Interfaith Marriage Research Project.
This resource is ideal for engaged couples, newlyweds, and all other intermarried couples across the marital and family life cycle. Those reviewing its contents should find it to be an invaluable resource that seeks to promote and enhance individual, marital and family well-being. Clergy should also find it a useful tool in their own efforts to minister to this growing population of faithful. When You Intermarry is an especially useful tool for intermarried couples who have some level of connection to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America or some other Orthodox jurisdiction.
It is available on amazon.com, Light & Life Publishing or by calling the bookstore at Hellenic College Holy Cross at 1-800-245-0599.

If you love to bake anything chocolate you may have found that choosing chocolate for baking has gotten a little complicated. It used to be pretty straightforward — dark, milk, white, sweet, un-sweetened, semisweet or bittersweet. But these days, sorting out which chocolate belongs in your brownies or chocolate chip cookies can seem more like selecting a fine wine than whipping up a batch of your kid's favorite cupcakes. Your choices can be very confusing with all the different percentages listed on the package. You can find 33%, 47%, 64% or even 91% percent cacao is available on the market and some chocolate with no percentage of cacao listed at all. Then the question must be asked is one any better than the other? And, what's all this percent stuff about cacao, anyway?
American chocolate companies have taken a page out of the wine and coffee industries' marketing books and have begun labeling their bars with the source of origin, single origin (estate grown) and according to the percentage of cacao content which is the combined blend of cocoa solids and cocoa butter.
The biggest problem is there's way too much emphasis on the percentage of cacao and not enough attention paid to the ratio of the ingredients. Most people think the higher the percentage of cacao, the better the chocolate. There are other factors that go into chocolate quality. It's really misleading to just claim that one bar compared to another is better just because it has 80 percent cacao versus 70 percent cacao for another.
Good chocolate makers use simple ingredients, a blend of cacao—fats and solids—sugar and dairy in the case of milk chocolate. The ratio of the blend affects taste, texture and how it reacts in making chocolate both for eating or baking. A higher percentage of cacao doesn't guarantee a more intense chocolate flavor, because cacao percentages represent the total of all cocoa solids (from which chocolate gets its flavor) and cocoa butter (which imparts chocolate's lush mouth feel). While different chocolates may have the same percent of total cacao, they could contain vastly different ratios of solids and fats, and that dramatically influences both the taste, texture of and the "bakablity" of the chocolate.
Higher cacao percentages also don't necessarily result in higher quality either. Taste is influenced more by the origin, drying, fermenting, roasting and the blend of beans. Better beans can produce better chocolate, even with lower percentages and cacao ratios.
So What Should You Buy?
For eating, stick to less than 70 percent cacao. Sugar enhances the flavor and texture of chocolate… bars with higher ratios, especially European chocolate can taste bitter and chalky depending on how the bean has been roasted. I recommend Choclatique's Private Reserve Dark Chocolate Bar (64%).
For baking, I like to use and 70 to 80 percent dark chocolate depending on the ration of fat to solids. Our Ebony Dark Chocolate Pastilles (72%) are perfect for both flavor and mouthfeel. If you want a great milk chocolate, I suggest our Heirloom Milk Chocolate (41%) and for the best baking white chocolate I only use Choclatique's Snowy-White Chocolate Pastilles (32%).
Of course, it ultimately all comes down to taste. If you're looking for great baking chocolate, don't use one that you wouldn't enjoy eating.

Wolf Prowl: December 9th, 2011
Patrick Johnston
December 09 2011 10:47AM
Several Chicago Wolves Players Are Photoshopped into this Festive Team Photo.
The old cliche 'consistently inconsistent' is once again in view. The Wolves were rolling through November, looking like they'd found their form. Apparently the end of the month is a bad thing for them. A poor finish to the last month was reinforced by a couple more bad showing last weekend.
Weekly Wrap
The games last Saturday and Sunday went poorly. Despite Matt Climie's 41 saves and a hat trick from Mark Mancari, the Wolves managed to lose in Grand Rapids, 5-4 in overtime. Sunday's return to the Allstate Arena only deepened the gloom, as an uninspired effort saw the men in maroon and gold lose to a weak Abbotsford Heat squad 3-1. The lineup has stablized somewhat, but the results haven't. The team oozes potential but the fans are getting frustrated.
Mark Mancari seems to have found his groove. He struggled for a long stretch of the season, but looks to be finding his form. He's skating on the first line and he picked up a hat trick in Grand Rapids. Mancari's got 5 points in his last 3 games. Darren Haydar picked up assists on all three Mancari goals on Saturday.
Sunday's poor showing against Abbotsford netted just one goal scorer, Tim Miller. Miller is quietly putting together a solid season from the middle of the lineup. He now has 11 points in 20 games.
Once again the goaltending was solid, Matt Climie did all he could to steal a win in Grand Rapids and Eddie Lack did his usual tidy job against the Heat.
Anton Rodin continues to show his two-way game, even if he's not putting up points quite as often as anticipated. He was on the ice in overtime against Grand Rapids.
Nolan Baumgartner was -2 against Grand Rapids, as was Mark Matheson the next day against Abbotsford. Baumer is now -6 on the season. For those hoping either Mancari or Mike Duco might see some big league love, both are -8 on the season. Although Jordan Schroeder scored another goal against Grand Rapids, he hasn't picked up an assist since October 23rd. It will be interesting to see who joins him and Anton Rodin now that Billy Sweatt is skating with the Canucks.
Lineup Notes
As most readers will know, Billy Sweatt made his NHL debut last night in Montreal. He's been a very solid contributor this year. He's reliable at both ends of the ice but not a big hitter. He's likely to stay with the Canucks as long as they don't need a physical presence in his spot. Victor Oreskovich made his return to the Wolves lineup last weekend, playing in all three games and then being recalled to the Canucks. He played just one game before being returned to Chicago.
Some line shuffling took place over the weekend, as Steve Reinprecht took over the number 1 centre spot from Nathan Longpre. The first line is now a very experienced trio: Reinprecht flanked by AHL veterans Mancari and Haydar. As mentioned above, Billy Sweatt was skating with Jordan Schroeder and Anton Rodin before his recall. Longpre may skate with Duco and Oreskovich, or perhaps he'll be paired with Tim Miller. Stefan Schneider continues to hold down the 4th line, Antoine Roussel got some time last weekend and Matt Clackson seems to be rotating in and out of the lineup.
On defence, Adam Polasek drew back in and was paired with Mark Matheson. Kevin Connauton remains on the top pairing with Chris Tanev, while Baumgartner is skating with Yann Sauve. Ryan Parent was scratched for both Saturday's and Sunday's games.
JP Testuwide and Dustin Friesen both spent the weekend with Kalamazoo and Darren Archibald was sent there on Monday. Testuwide and Friesen have both since returned to Chicago.
The Hunting Ahead
The next week is very busy for the Wolves. Another triple header weekend and a couple late week games means they are likely to learn heavily on their large squad. Tonight they travel to Rockford before hosting Milwaukee tomorrow night and Grand Rapids on Sunday. The Wolves then travel to Charlotte for back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday.
Lastly, the Chicago Daily Herald published a very nice profile of Wolves' coach Craig MacTavish on Wednesday.

In response to Jan concerning your comments to the editor. It is of my opinion that gay marriage is a moral issue not a civil rights issue. I suggest you read Leviticus chapter 18, particularly verse 22. That's my belief.
Now I also believe that we have agency, so if someone wants to live a homosexual lifestyle fine, however I believe it is wrong to harass churches or church properties to force an issue. The people voted, enough said. Maybe homosexuals should try and go directly to the source. How about the government?

An independent review of the COPS-funded Justice Based After-School (JBAS) pilot program found that the program has a positive impact on students, police officers, and others involved in the effort. The study documented five of the six JBAS sites that served as pilot training sites in 2000. In 2001, those sites received additional funding to consolidate the first year achievements and bolster the overall sustainability of their programs. Conducted by William R. Blount and Associates, Inc., the study specifically found that:

The Ospreys secured a convincing 33-12 RaboDirect Pro12 derby win over the Blues at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.
The Ospreys secured a convincing 33-12 RaboDirect Pro12 derby win over the Blues at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.
The Ospreys were searching for their first win in three following consecutive defeats to Exeter and Edinburgh, while the Blues were seeking back-to-back wins following their recent triumph over Zebre.
Matthew Morgan got the scoring underway for the Ospreys with a tenth-minute penalty, and barely two minutes later he added the conversion after James King got on the end of a well-worked move from the line-out to cross for a try in the corner.
The Ospreys continued to control proceedings for the remainder of the first half and they took their ten-point advantage with them into half-time, as two Morgan penalties cancelled out two Cardiff three-pointers booted over by Ceri Sweeney.
Two minutes into the second half, Richard Fussell touched down after following up a speculative Ross Jones grubber kick to put further distance between the two sides, with Morgan again adding the conversion.
But shortly after, Sam Lewis was sent to the sin-bin for the hosts after being caught offside, allowing Rhys Patchell the opportunity to narrow the deficit with the boot.
He added his second penalty of the evening five minutes later, before Morgan restored the 14-point advantage with a three-pointer of his own on the hour.
The Blues searched for a route back into the contest in the final quarter, but came up short, and in the final minute Morgan Allen rounded off the scoring for the Ospreys with a well-taken try from the line-out, again converted by Morgan, who finished the evening with 18 points to his name.
The scorers:
For Ospreys:
Tries: King, Fussell, Allen
Cons: Morgan 3
Pens: Morgan 4
For Cardiff Blues:
Pens: Sweeney 2, Patchell 2
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Ross Jones, 13 Tom Isaacs, 12 Andrew Bishop, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Matthew Morgan, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i (c), 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 George Stowers, 5 James King, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Cai Griffiths, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Duncan Jones.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Marc Thomas, 18 Dmitri Arhip, 19 Lloyd Peers, 20 Morgan Allen, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Sam Davies, 23 Jonathan Spratt.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Rhys Patchell, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Owen Williams, 10 Ceri Sweeney, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Robin Copeland, 7 Josh Navidi (c), 6 Rory Watts-Jones, 5 James Down, 4 Michael Paterson, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Sam Hobbs.
Replacements: 16 Andi Kyriacou, 17 Nathan Trevett, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Macauley Cook, 20 Andries Pretorius, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Gareth Davies, 23 Jason Tovey.

Whiteout the Ralph!
by The Unknown Buffalo Bill
posted Nov 4 2011 11:43AM
Hey Bills Fans,
Is everyone prepared for the snowstorm that's hitting the Ralph this Sunday?!?! That's right, you're Bills players are calling for a whiteout at the Ralph. If you don't have your gear… check out @steviejohnson13 and @DavidNelson86, they have some suggestions on where to buy some good whiteout gear. We are hoping to get a good turnout with a packed stadium to help give us the extra edge.
All week we have been reviewing film, going over the Jets and let me be the first to say, these guys have talent. Everywhere you look - they have guys producing. We'll go over Special Teams and Defense today, starting with Special Teams.
Remember who led the NFL in Kick Returns last year? Brad Smith. He now plays for the good guys (that's us of course) and you'd think the Jets would have had a drop off, but guess who is leading the league in Kick Returns
year? Joe Mcknight- of the New York Jets. That's a matchup to watch! We are at the top of the league in tackles inside the 20. With the Jets leading in return yards averaging 40 yards per attempt, that battle will be critical in the field position game. Make sure to keep an eye on it.
The Jets Defense is where Rex and the Ryan Family have made a name for themselves and it's what they pride themselves on. I guess that means you won't be surprised to hear they play defense well. They have great DB's which allows them to do a lot of different things up front. Look for them to try and confuse us and get guys unblocked to the ball, specifically ex-Bill, Aaron Maybin in passing situations. Just as an update, Aaron has had three sacks and three Forced Fumbled since joining the team.
So, why are we continuing to win? Well I already went over how the city of Buffalo plays its part and just how well we get along together. I'd also like to add the fact we have no selfish players. We each know what the strengths and weaknesses of each other are, and more importantly the weaknesses. It's good to know and accept your weaknesses because first, it helps you to work harder to eliminate them, but second, it helps you to stay out of situations that they can be exploited. I honestly feel that we play and are coached to be in positions that showcase our talents. Sounds pretty self explanatory but you'd be surprised how many times you have coaches that expect you to be able to do everything regardless of whether that's your niche or not.
You think talent is everything but it really isn't. It's all about how you use the talent you have to be the best TEAM. We are a TEAM and we must stay a team to get through a long season where lots of things change from the first day to the last day.
Alright guys, look forward to seeing you at the whiteout on Sunday, rowdier than ever! This is the biggest game of the season and time to put this week's work into action.
(For Now) Your No-Named Bill

Tomorrow, the debut album from New Yorkers Designer Drugs, is set to drop on Ultra Records. With Hardcore/Softcore, I'd say the duo have hit the nail on the head title-wise, producing an ambitious record of musical binaries that ranges from dirty overdriven electro, to mellow sounding electro-house. Finally out on a full length, 'Drop Down' is a fan favorite that I'm sure you dirty dancers are already familiar with, while recent release 'Through The Prism' is a dark and sinister electro banger.
'Dead Meat' is a minute long squelchy dubstep interlude, which provides some cheeky respite between the jacking rave anthem 'Face Melter', and the disco infused 'Crazy For You' which features the alluring vocals of Norwegian singer Annie.
Album finale 'Into the Light' holds an alarming similarity to sped up Justice, and the music of futuristic indie trio Muse, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just serves to illustrate that Designer Drugs have cast the genre net pretty wide with this album. Something I'm glad about, because listening to 60 minutes of abrasive punk-infused electro with no contrast is something that would do my head in. I'd love to hear them explore the avenues they hint at in soundbites: 'Dead Meat' and the classically progressive 'Purgatory', because they just seem to hang there, teasing the listener rather than providing a cohesive stepping stone to the next track.
Yet that's the only criticism I have, because overall Hardcore/Softcore is an impressive and versatile debut, placing Designer Drugs among the frontrunners in American electro-house today. You can expect a whole lot more from these guys.
Get your mitts on: 'Crazy For You', 'Drop Down', 'Face Melter', 'Into the Light', and 'Through The Prism'
Ultra are currently giving away Drop The Lime's remix of 'Through The Prism', so cop it here:

Science and Animal Enthusiast Finds Outlet for Career Success at UAlbany
Honors College student Corine Giroux makes ready for Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in the fall.
Honors College student Corine Giroux makes ready for Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in the fall.
Biologist Gary Kleppel, director of UAlbany's Biodiversity Conservation & Policy Program, works with Corine Giroux, who served as veterinary officer on his New York Department of Environmental Conservation livestock study.
ALBANY, N.Y. (April 15, 2013) — University at Albany Honors College senior Corine Giroux was raised on one of the largest poultry farms in New York State. In this setting, her love for animals blossomed. At age three, she was already pleading with her parents for her own horse.
This fall, the Chazy, N.Y. native is headed to the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University, one of the world's leading veterinary schools. Giroux credits her background, talents, and University at Albany research opportunities for making it possible.
For the past year, Giroux has served as veterinary officer on biology professor Gary Kleppel's NY State Department of Environmental Conservation-funded study "The Use of Livestock for Managing Invasive Species and Habitat Restoration." Kleppel serves as the director of UAlbany's Biodiversity Conservation & Policy Program, a multidisciplinary master's program which prepares students for careers that require knowledge of both ecology and public policy.
The biology major says the opportunities that both Kleppel's study and the Honors College offered her proved invaluable. "I approached Gary Kleppel my sophomore year with zero research experience and was on my own project within a few weeks," said Giroux. "The Honors College pushed me to go above and beyond, as it required me to write a senior thesis and complete an extensive project that I may not have done otherwise."
Her Honors College thesis, "Judging the Effects of Grazing in Wild and Quasi-wild Landscapes on Livestock Health and Condition," perfectly complemented Kleppel's research.
"I think part of why I was accepted to Cornell is that I have unique experience working in agriculture that a lot of people don't," she said. "Through my UAlbany education, I've gained invaluable experience performing health check-ups on sheep and even learning how to herd them." She joked, "Not many people can list 'shepherding' on their resume."
When her parents finally gave her a horse at age ten, she almost immediately began showing it. That passion also found expression at UAlbany; Giroux is a four-year member of the equestrian team, competing in about four shows per semester. "I'm not sure what kind of vet I'll be some day, but I may very well end up back in agriculture or working with horses," she said.
Her mentor at UAlbany has little doubt Giroux will find success, whatever her ultimate choice.
"Corine is the kind of student every professor hopes for — analytical, focused, and dependable," said Kleppel. "She has made significant contributions to our research and I have every confidence she will be a force in veterinary medicine and animal science in the future."comments powered by Disqus

Omar has a hysterical letter he showed me at the HRC National a few years ago to him from the AKC saying "There is no market or interest for a non-field trial retriever event. If there were, we would be doing it." Oh how the AKC changed its tune quickly.
