Skip to comments.Vatican officials encouraging push to stop communion for pro-abort pols
Posted on 08/05/2011 9:28:09 AM PDT by NYer
ROME, August 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) Top officials at the Vatican are throwing their support behind pro-life Catholic leaders campaigning against dioceses allowing pro-abortion politicians receive Holy Communion, says one such leader.
American Life League President Judie Brown spoke with LifeSiteNews yesterday about her recent trip to Rome, where she spoke with Vatican officials about Communion for pro-abortion politicians and the changing pro-life landscape in America.
Cardinal Raymond Burke told Brown to be persistent in her campaign to have Canon 915 enforced, she said.
Canon 915 states: "Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to holy communion."
Brown also noted that Burke encouraged her to make use of the numerous articles he himself has written on the subject.
He encouraged us to be persistent, to use his articles and not to back down from our position which is the same as his, she said. Its not arbitrary its a matter of the law of the church which needs to be enforced.
Cardinal Burke, she noted, spoke of applying the sanction called for in canon 915 as "therapeutic" in terms of helping people come back in line with the church.
The fact that many bishops are "not comfortable" about it, said Brown, doesnt matter.
Brown also addressed at the meeting how intentional distortions of official Church statements have confused Catholics on the abortion issue.
In America, conception is defined as implantation, so when the Church makes a statement - Dignitas Personae is the most recent example - our enemies turn around and say even the Church doesnt believe theres life before implantation, Brown explained to Zenit news.
Church officials must be clear that when the word conception is used, it means the biological beginning of a person.
While in Rome, Brown covered a wide range of topics including Americas growing pro-life youth movement, ad hominem attacks on pro-life Catholics, and the ramifications of a culture-of-death president.
Cardinal Burke is the primary example of being targeted by the media," she told LifeSiteNews.com. "The reason for that is that he wont back down. He tells Catholics all the time, including me, to continue to persist in the faith, and he does it.
We have every reason to be optimistic. But, all Catholics must stand up and be Catholic even when its uncomfortable, she concluded.
Papabile ping.
You would think this would have been the policy all along.
I never cease to be amazed by Obama stickers on cars in church parking lots. Applicable to all denominations/religions.
About 40 years late
"Cardinal Raymond Burke told Brown to be persistent in her campaign to have Canon 915 enforced, she said."
While Archbishop of St. Louis, Cardinal Burke PROACTIVELY told John Kerry he would NOT be receiving Communion, if he attended Mass while on a political stop here in the Gateway City.
I'm still cheering that line in the sand.
Which is why Kerry went to St. Cronin's where they don't pay attention to any archbishop.
My hunch is that the next pope will be from Africa or Central/South America.
There is no dispute about the plain meaning of Canon 915: any person who persists in grave sin in a public manner must be denied communion.
The dispute has to do with the degree of autonomy of the local ordinary. Does this Canon apply equally to the Universal Church, or can different bishops apply it differently? So, for example, can a certain member of the US House of Representatives from San Francisco receive communion in San Francisco, but be denied communion in Washington, D.C.?
It certainly sounds promising, but I'm afraid about 35 years too late.
What I wanna know is, why isn't a potential bishop asked about how they would handle this issue before they're appointed?
They made similar predictions before Ratzinger was elected.
They made the prediction about the next pope probably coming from Africa, Central or South America, I don't recall anyone discounting the possibility of another European.
May Church Teaching be CLEAR, STRONG and full of the joy that truth inevitably brings! May it guide us to repentance, humility and deeper faith.
Are you taking this position as a faux-Catholic? Maybe you should read what you link before stepping in it again. No abortions are performed at that hospital. Dr. Richard Grossman, who is a part time worker at the Catholic hospital (one day per week) performs abortions on his own time.
Now that you have shot your mouth off again why don't you tell us what you personally have done to stop the scourge of abortion. Have you petitioned politicians, counseled expectant mothers, financially contributed to Pro-Life organizations, protested or blockaded clinics and providers?
Don't bother actually answering, no one will believe you anyway. I'll bet your only involvement is to anonymously slander the Church over this issue from the safety and security of your mom's basement.
How about this one?
Why do you ping all you minions every post to me?
Are you lonely or is it you can't fight your own battles.
Remember I didn't start the lying and name calling. The CC did.
If you don't care what I say why are you following me around FR? The original post here wasn't to any of your posse.
Stop harassing me!
Stop harassing you? After what you have recently done on Catholic Caucus posts to a Catholic n00b? And insisting that you are an "active Catholic"?
What's the matter, can't your fellow "active Catholics" post to you?
I'm not following you, but like the old saying goes some substances attract flies.
"Stop harassing me!"
LOL. Don't flatter yourself. This isn't about you. I am an equal opportunity poster. If you would research my posting history you will find me often responding to those who lie about the Church. Like another old saying goes, if you don't want people talking about it, don't do it.
Why yes decent respectful Catholics can post to me. I have received several PMs from very nice Catholics. A couple have even offered their apologies for your and others behavior. I told them it is not necessary and not their responsibility to apologize for others behavior.
I will ask my priest tonight if I am committing a sin for discouraging communications from Catholics that insult me and call me a liar.
No I do not want to hear from rude, 10-15 cigarette a day smoking, washed up, hack nurses. In the event you fit any of those criteria I would prefer not to hear from you.
Remember you started the name calling and the lies.
Thanks for allowing me to BTT this with a post!!! Great thread don't you think?
STOP harassing me!!!
Once again - slow learner.
Stop harassing me and following me around.
Oh yea, real nice insult. What are you 12?
Whoopsie daisy! Not a good idea to discuss PMs on the threads. Against the rules, in fact.
You do not want to hear from me today, but yesterday it was okay for you to post to me? What happened? Never mind. People can read it for themselves on the threads. All except your posts that were removed, that is.
I didn't see any insult from Natural Law. Picnics attract flies.
You need to get your facts straight.
I'm not going to respond to that sort of thing. I don't react quite the same when people lie about me as when they lie about the Church. Especially, when they spend so much time lying about themselves.
Besides, Catholics on FR are constantly coached, admonished and warned to have thick skins and to expect this sort of "public square personal attack" thing. (The fact that such a warning has not been given is even more proof we weren't dealing with a real Catholic.)
I'll bet. I don't think it is possible to insult you. But you may wish to check with a priest just the same.
STOP harassing me!!!
Or what? You're going to chain PM dropping F-bombs?
Hmmmm....well, you caught me there. I give up, you are the sweet one, I am terrible and mean to poor little you. I admit it. Thanks for all your edifying posts, I've really learned a lot from them.
Have a lovely day, Catholic FRiend.
Remember when you say hurtful things hurtful things may come back.
For the record I just responded to YOUR rude PM's. The record is clear you started it.
You are the one lashing out at me on PM's so I guess maybe you should do your reading.
Since you all travel in a swarm you may have to loan it to each other and help the slower among you with the big words.
Thanks again for letting me BTT!!!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2757208/posts Denial is not just a river!
Thanks, I am having a great day!!!
And you are certainly setting an instructive example for everyone. Thanks.
For the record I just responded to YOUR rude PMs. The record is clear you started it.
Very good. I will repost my original PM to you in its entirety. Will you have the courage to repost your replies to me?
Dude, why are you harassing Catholic Caucus threads?
Boy, that's hurtful. Full of F-bombs and everything.
Are you certain that you can repost ANY of your replies on this forum and not have the RM cancel you completely? I know that I can.
Hack nurse popping popcorn...
Question: Who else is not a Catholic.
Question: Who else is not a Catholic.
ROFL! Cute. ;-D
Sadly, Archbishop Chaput has indicated that it is the responsibility of the communicant to stay away from the Communion Rail. This is not correct. Rather, it is the responsibility of the Minister of the Eucharist to deny Holy Communion. This is a huge difference that goes against the Church's teachings regarding canon 915 as well as recent statements from the Vatican stating that the manifest pro-abortion politicians must be denied, and the burden IS upon the Minister to deny, NOT upon the communicant to stay away
. -- from the thread Will Denver Catholic Archbishop finally enforce Canon 915?
"...there's a question about whether this canon'' the relevant church law "was ever intended to be used'' to bring politicians to heel. He thinks not. "I stand with the great majority of American bishops and bishops around the world in saying this canon was never intended to be used this way." -- from the thread [Archbishop] Wuerl: Why I Won't Deny Pelosi Communion
Albany Bishop Howard Hubbard says it is "unfair and imprudent" to conclude that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his girlfriend, Sandra Lee, shouldn't receive Communion simply because they're living together. -- from the thread Bishop: None of your business (Hubbard rejects Catholic expert's criticism of Gov. Cuomo)
[Archbishop Timothy Dolan] also does not outright deny the sacrament to dissenting Catholic lawmakers, but he is seen as an outspoken defender of church orthodoxy in a style favored by many theological conservatives.Related threads:
-- from the thread US bishops elect NYC archbishop as head in upset (Catholic bloggers blamed)
Yeah, but there is a difference between an example and a specimen.
Some of these morons have bought into the MSM line than anyone who declares himself a Catholic is a Catholic in Communion with the Church. The really sad thing is that they don't know enough about Catholicism to realize what complete idiots they are making of themselves. They would be equally successful declaring themselves starting NFL quarterbacks.
"...there is a difference between an example and a specimen.
Yep. Specimens are instructive, too.
Kind of like Nancy Pelosi.
It has been. It just hasn't been enforce publicly.
Actually the pro-abort politicians self-excommunicate themselves by supporting abortion.
This comes from the pro-life movement here in America.
In the beginning, Catholic Democrats were opposed to abortion.
But, we have seen them sell their souls to gain power.
It is those of us in the pews, the laity, who are calling for our bishops to stand as strong for life as we are and call to account those who support abortion, even if they believe they do so indirectly or unintentionally.
I am all for denying politicians, any Catholic, communion if it is publicly known that they support abortion.
I hope it happens. Sadly, there are many in my own church who would be denied.
Paul warns us that we bring judgement upon ourselves if we eat and drink unworthily.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
You have posted this quote in numerous threads as though you believe it absurd or an indictment of Archbishop Chaput and the Church. It only illustrates how completely out of touch you are with the general concept of personal responsibility and the Church's doctrines of service and personal accountability.
Really, Alex, give it a rest. Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In your 10+ years of repetitious Church bashing on Free Republic you haven't moved one Catholic one inch away from the Church or yourself one inch closer to God. Even some of your more vitriolic anti-Catholic cohorts have seen the folly of this and ceased or greatly reduced their attacks.
Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, the Kennedys, yadda yadda
Tell me what do you see, Natural Law?
In your 10+ years of repetitious Church bashing on Free Republic you haven't moved one Catholic one inch away from the Church or yourself one inch closer to God.
Engaging in a little weekend pareidolia?
It would take a proper scatologist to decipher your posts.

By PHIL FAUVERstaff writer
The American Legion Ferron Post 42 and the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Unit 42 hosted the meet the candidates night Oct. 23, at the Ferron City Hall.
Unit 42 President Jo Sansevero welcomed everyone and introduced her husband Lou Sansevero as the moderator of the meeting. He then laid out the ground rules for the meeting. Questions were to be submitted on cards. Additional questions were allowed from the audience by the raise of a hand. He then proceeded to call on the candidates to make their opening statements.
Mike Mower representing Governor Herbert a candidate for a second term, was the first to speak. Mower said, "I appreciate being back home in Ferron representing a great governor in the greatest state. I now serve as the governor's Deputy Chief of Staff. I want to thank the American Legion for the Oratorical Scholarship that helped me through college at Brigham Young University. Mayor Joann Behling was one of the first candidates that I passed out flyers for, when she was running for city council. That was my introduction to politics. Gov. Herbert strongly endorses two of the people here tonight, Sen. Hinkins and Rep. McIff. They have done a wonderful job representing Emery County and have helped the state to achieve the terrific results that we have.
"Governor Herbert's slogan is "Results Matter". As you look around the country and you see what is happening in different states you can look at Utah and see that positive things really are happening. When Gov. Herbert took over the Utah unemployment rate was 8.3 percent it is now down to 5.4 percent. This is one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Last year we went through and reviewed every regulation in state government, to see how the regulations impacted business and we changed about 267 of those regulations in order to make Utah as business friendly as possible so that employers want to come here or currently existing businesses want to expand their jobs here and help to grow our economy.
"The governor asked me to mention a couple of things, Gary Conover a Ferron native who serves in the governor's cabinet is the new executive director of the tax commission. And also the governor maintains his strong support of public lands and for coal. Recently, those two areas have come under attack from the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. It is estimated they spent one half million dollars attacking Governor Herbert's position on these issues. The governor wants to make certain the public lands remain open for multiple uses. We love and cherish our environment, but we also understand that we need oil and natural gas exploration and drilling.
"When it comes to coal. The governor has been a fervent advocate for the Utah coal industry. We recognize that while in the future it will be nice to have a lot of different sources of power. Right now Utah has some of the lowest power rates in the country and that is because we have coal that we burn here in Emery County and in Carbon County," said Mower.
Mower reminded the group that Gov. Herbert has been in Emery County six times in the last year. "He has had the chance to meet with many of you and you have had a chance to visit with him. On behalf of Governor Herbert he sincerely asks for your vote, so that he and Lt. Gov. Bell may serve another four years. Thank you," said Mower.
Ethan Migliori a candidate for Emery County Commission started out saying, "we appreciate the support the governor has given us over the years he has been a good ally of ours. I am the republican candidate for the open county commission seat. My wife, formerly Heidi Conover, and I along with our children live here in Ferron. About seven or eight years ago I had an opportunity to sell my business to a larger company. I took the opportunity to sell my business and move my family back to Emery County. It has been a good experience for me and my family to be back here.
"My great, great, great grandmother Ferron Cook was the first girl child to be born on the banks of Ferron Creek. Those of you that are history buffs in the room will know who she is. So it has been fun to be back and learn a little bit more about my family history. I used to come over and spend my summers with my cousins in Castle Dale.
"The reason why I'm running for County Commissioner is that since I've been back, I haven't seen a Commissioner, with a strong background in business and economic development. We definitely need those skills in our economy right now. So I want to bring my background in those skills to the commission and strengthen those skills of Commissioner Nelson and Commissioner Horrocks.
"I currently work for the college in Price. I am the director for the small business development center. I spend my entire day working with small businesses, working on economic development issues to help strengthen our local businesses.
"A few years ago I was instrumental in starting a program called the BEAR Project. BEAR is an acronym for business expansion and retention. The purpose of BEAR was to focus on our local businesses and grow them versus the traditional means of economic development, which was to recruit and try to bring companies here. Since 2009 that BEAR Project has created more than 200 jobs and injected more than $2.1 million back into the hands of our local business owners, so they can grow and strengthen their company.
"Just recently, the governor's office asked us to take that program to all of rural Utah and if you have listened to a number of his addresses you'll hear him talking about the BEAR Project.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to run for Emery County Commission. I am excited for that opportunity and look forward to serving you and bringing my skills to help strengthen Emery County. Thank you," said Migliori.
Bill Dellos represented Jason Chaffetz, a candidate for the House of Representatives in the third district, said, "Jason is with the next president of the United States Mitt Romney. Jason is working with Romney's campaign and frequently you will see him on television working with Romney. Jason has asked me to tell you two or three things. There was a lady that asked Jason why he slept on a cot in Washington DC. This is his answer. 'Too often people who are elected to federal offices move their families to Washington and end up losing touch with the people they represent. I am aware of this trend and commit to avoid this trait. I represent Utah to Washington, not Washington to Utah.'
Fiscal discipline: The great threat to our nation and freedom is our unstable national debt. Jason is there to make sure this debt gets brought under control. Accountability: Each person needs to be accountable to this great United States of America.
Jason is a good representative. He has the experience and knowledge Utah needs and I think Jason will be a much better representative for us than Jim Matheson.
Home Land Security: Jason agrees with Romney that we need to protect this nation with a strong military and a strong national defense. Thank you," said Dellos.
Kay McIff candidate for State Representative said, "It is always a great privilege for me to be here. I know most of you, not all. Kay McIff is my name. I have served in the State House of Representatives for the last six years. I left a flyer on the table, that lists a half-dozen things that I'm interested in.
"This is actually a very important time in our country's history. Friday night we had a guest at our place at Fish Lake from Denmark. He is a reporter. My son-in-law, a professor at Southern Utah University and this reporter from Denmark flew into Los Angeles, went to Las Vegas and then came to Cedar City. His express purpose was to report on the American presidential election. So I had a chance to visit with him about this election, and how defining it is. He said understand that in Denmark our income tax rate is 60 percent. He said our government supplies everything for us like Health care. Most of the industries and virtually everything is government operated. We in America don't know how far down that path we want to go. Some of us think we've gone too far, already.
"A lot will depend upon activists in national politics. This next time around. It will be an influential time in our nation's history. I am satisfied that we want to preserve free enterprise as wide open a system as possibly we can. It worked well for our forefathers. I think it will continue to work well. We'll wait and see. Another two or three weeks, then we will make some important decisions in the state. It will determine what we will do with immigration, what we'll do with Medicare. It will determine the direction we go in so many arenas. I am more interested in the philosophy we bring to the table.
"Let me just mention that it is a privilege to work with Mike Mower. He is a great tribute to this county. The same I would say about David Hinkins. They are great to work with. We hope that in this next time around we're going to get some additional funding for education. It is a great privilege to represent you. Thank you so much," said McIff.
Sam Singleton running for Ferron/Clawson School Board Position said, "It is a great pleasure for me to be here tonight. All of you know me and I appreciate the American Legion Auxiliary and all that they do in our community and for making this possible for us tonight.
"My life has been spent in education. I grew up in Ferron. Went to school here. Did all my high school here and went on to college. as soon as I graduated from high school I did not want to leave Ferron. I wanted to stay here and so that summer. Two of my high school teachers Max Peacock and Alan Tuft were going to BYU, summer school. So I went to BYU and went to summer school and boarded with two of my high school teachers. I did this for two years. I finished my college degree in three years. I was then able to return back to Ferron.
"When I started to teach, the kids that were seniors at that time, were eighth-graders, when I was a senior. We had a lot of things in common. I was not a science teacher, during that year of teaching at South Emery high school, they didn't have someone to teach eighth grade science and so in a small school, you had to teach what you were assigned. During the school year when we got to the part of the book about the human body and human reproduction. I was just as naïve as the eighth-graders and one particular day. When we were on that subject I had words on the board for them to define and made everything possible for them to get into the book so that I wouldn't have to talk. I got up to tell them you may now begin to study. Instead, I said, you may now begin to reproduce. That is not the only error I made while I was teaching.
"I've appreciated very much working on the school board and just recently we had a meeting and I was able to meet with our new State School Superintendent Mark L. Menlove. I am very impressed with him. He will take over at the first of the year. I've been very dedicated. In the years that I've served on the School Board. I have only missed six meetings," said Singleton.
Sen. David Hinkins candidate for the State Senate introduced himself by saying, "I live about three miles east of here in our little community called Molen. I'm glad to be in Ferron. I was born and raised in Orangeville. I went to South Emery Junior High School. I am thankful to be able to serve you in the Senate at the Utah State Capitol. I am fortunate to belong to the Rural Caucus. There are three of us in it. There is Sen. Oakerlund from Monroe, Senator Van Tassell from Vernal and myself. Between the three of us, we control three quarters of the State of Utah, geographical acreage. The odds are against us. There are 29 senators and there are three of us that are rural Utah folk. The Rural Caucus is growing. Several other senators want to join the Rural Caucus. Senator Oakerlund is running for the majority leadership. Senator Van Tassell is going to run for Assistant Whip.
"I have been thanked many times for the improvements on state Highway 6. I would like to take credit for it. But, I serve on the committee that appropriates a lot of the money. My hat goes off to Ex-Commissioner Bevin Wilson. Bevan Wilson served on the road commission for 12 years and he was able to get rural roads on our list. We owe great gratitude to Bevan Wilson who was our Commissioner and if you ever get a chance thank him for his work on rural roads. He was released from the Road Commission Board two years ago. Bevin was replaced by Eddie Cox from Fairview. Hopefully we can still get our rural roads done. Rural roads are very important. We spend a large amount in road taxes compared to people who live in Salt Lake. Most of us commute a lot further, 50 to 100 miles a day to work and pay a lot more in sales tax to the roads and we get very little of that money back.
"I am the father of four children and a grandfather of nine. I am in the Senate because I want to see my kids have as good a life as I've had. I have had many opportunities living in the United States. I really appreciate the opportunities I have had to better my position in life. I would like to see that continue not to just my children but to the children of Emery County and southeastern Utah. Thank you," said Sen. Hinkins.
"I am Bruce Funk, a candidate running for the office of School Board Member representing Ferron and Clawson. The reason I filed for the school board office was not to run against Sam. I filed first that morning so that anyone else that filed would be running against me. All of the offices for elected officials are open and on that, I don't think there's any entitlement. I think we have to earn those offices back. If we're running for an office. We should be weighed upon our merits and what we can bring and offer. I am a graduate of Utah State University with a degree in secondary education in physical sciences. I taught a number of years in the Duschene area in the high school and junior high school, combined. Much like the old South Emery, I taught upper math, chemistry, and the junior high science classes.
"I have done direct negotiations with the superintendent for teacher salary negotiations. I have had a lot of experience in education. It is of prime importance to me. I have a daughter that now teaches in the high school. She does an outstanding job. I know what is taking place there. I have a number of relatives that are in the teaching profession here in the county. So I'm aware of what is going on. I have six grandchildren in the system and soon I will have nine in the system. I know what is going on. I have been out and talked to numerous teachers. I know of their concerns. I know they are good teachers. I know they need support. They need someone who will listen to them. It bothers me when we lose good teachers because we may want to spend $3,000 to go up to Lagoon to experience physics. Rather than doing a program that would sustain a teacher. I look at things very differently. I think that boards many times become rubber stamps. I am not that type of a person as anyone who knows me will tell you.
"I am the one that brought investigators in to look at the voting machines. I wasn't the only one In the United States that saw what was going on. I do have a strong Interest and a strong commitment to give a 100 percent.
"In my heart, one of those deep concerns is, when you are called in and told we need to hold your child back, we suggest you do that. I followed that suggestion. Realizing later, why did that teacher, wait until the end of the year to tell me that? Those are things that need to be looked at and how do you avoid that and bring the best education possible to the students and support teachers and staff. Thank you," said Funk.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth incumbent candidate for county commission said, "I would like to thank our American Legion ladies auxiliary for hosting us here tonight. My husband and I have been married for 37 years, and I want to publicly thank him. I did not do that in our last meeting, except to say that he really has stepped up to the plate and learned to cook. Since I have been a commissioner, he does his own laundry, but he doesn't dust very well yet. He has been such a great support to me, and I want him to know how much I appreciate him. We have lived here in Ferron in for 27 years. We raised our family here. We have four children. we have six grandchildren. Another grandchild is due at any moment. Four years ago, I didn't just wake up and decide to run for county commission, it started a long time ago it started when I was little girl and joined the American Legion Auxiliary under my dad, who was a Korean War Veteran. He served honorably in the Korean War in the Air Force. It wasn't until this year when I was looking through the records trying to get benefits for our dad that we realized he was actually a hero. We never knew about that, because he never talked about it. He received two silver stars and a bronze star.
My patriotism and my service to my country started a long time ago. It was through my American Legion experience that I ran for school offices and was class officers and student body officer. I have always been engaged in my community. Community service is important to me.
"I feel like I have been an effective Commissioner in these last four years. I feel like we have accomplished a lot as a commission. We have a full-time economic development department that works on economic development. It is important in our community and we will continue to work for all opportunities for economic development.
"In the past four years we have improved the infrastructure in Emery County. There are a lot of areas in this county that needed us to step up and do some remodeling. I appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight," said Commissioner Pitchforth.
Gary Petty representing Scott Howell a candidate for the US Senate said, "Scott Howell apologizes for not being able to be here tonight. He is a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Gary then read a brief statement from Scott Howell.
'Scott Howell was born in Provo raised in Salt Lake City and spent his summers in Castle Dale on his grandfather's farm, where he learned the values of hard work and church. Scott graduated from Skyline high school and the University of Utah. Hired during his junior year of college, Scott spent 34 years working for the IBM Corporation managing worldwide teams of employees.
'Motivated to improve education, Scott was elected to the Utah State Senate in 1990 receiving over 60 percent of the vote. He served for three terms. Scott is a former member of the Intermountain Healthcare Board and the Salt Lake City Olympic Organizing Committee.
Scott wants to end the gridlock in Washington. He is still passionate about education and believes in fiscal responsibility, reducing our debt and balancing the budget. He continues to fight for working-class families. He wants to make Social Security, sustainable, protect Medicare and protect our landscape for future generations. Scott and his wife, Linda, are the parents of four sons and have four grandchildren. He and his family are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. Scott has outlined his plan for Utah and for our country in what he calls the three Es, economy, education, and comprehensive energy policy. Within that framework key issues have emerged, balanced-budget, job creation, Medicare, education and energy.
'Scott has spent some time in Emery County this summer. He has been down to our public lands, meetings, he knows what the issues are in Emery County. I don't think there's a better person to represent us here in Emery County at this time with our public lands and issues that are going on. He asks for your vote and your support in November," said Petty.

Skip to comments.Oregon Biology Teacher Fired Over Bible References
Posted on 03/20/2007 2:02:43 PM PDT by Diago
During his eight days as a part-time high school biology teacher, Kris Helphinstine included Biblical references in material he provided to students and gave a PowerPoint presentation that made links between evolution, Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood.
That was enough for the Sisters School Board, which fired the teacher Monday night for deviating from the curriculum on the theory of evolution.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I'd like to see a copy of that. Maybe this teacher can make the move from teacher to public speaker and go around talking to church groups, etc. about this issue as well.
Ore. teacher fired over Bible references
It will be noted that Schopenhauer's philosophy sounds a great deal like Charles Darwin's in that both insist man is, to quote one classic definition, "the result of a purposeless and materialistic process that did not have him in mind." According to Darwin and his many proponents, man was nothing other than the result of a mindless interaction of matter and energy whereby those traits best adapted to survival were passed on while those species which lacked advantageous traits were killed off by natural selection. No loving Creator was involved, just the random accident of matter and energy.
However, it will also be noted that Schopenhauer died in 1860, the year after Darwin published his Origin of Species. So Schopenhauer is not deriving his atheism from some new scientific discovery disproving the existence of a Creator God. Rather, he demonstrates he was living in an age whose elites were already ripe to hear that nature, not God, was the basic principle of our existence. Darwin simply lent (or seemed to lend) scientific credibility to that fundamentally metaphysical judgment. Darwin, more than any other thinker in the 19th century, gave force to the idea that human beings were not creatures made in the image and likeness of God, but were instead simply unusually clever pieces of meat whose brains, heart, and body and soul were as much the result of a series of accidents as the shape of a pig's nose. In the words of his disciple, Ernst Haeckel, the "modern science of evolution has shown that there never was any such creation, but that the universe is eternal and the law of substance all-ruling." Accordingly, "the myth of the conception and birth of Jesus Christ is mere fiction, and is at the same stage of superstition as a hundred other myths of other religions." For, according to Haeckel, when Darwin "shattered the dogma of anthropocentrism" by allegedly showing human beings to be as much a product of chance every other species on earth, he smashed the "boundless presumption of conceited man [that] has misled him into making himself 'the image of God,' claiming an 'eternal life' for his ephemeral personality".
Schopenhauer had a huge influence on a number of philosophers, but perhaps his greatest disciple was Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche too proclaimed the death of God. However, Nietzsche was not content with Schopenhauer's gloomy pessimism. If life was a power struggle, Nietzsche was not content to lose or call it a draw. He wanted to win! Watching a cavalry battalion march past during the Franco-Prussian War, Nietzsche had yet another of the many epiphanies that seemed to characterize 19th century thinkers:
I felt for the first time that the strongest and highest Will to Life does not find expression in a miserable struggle for existence, but in a Will to War, a Will to Power, a Will to Overpower.
Nietzsche, like Schopenhauer, never doubted for a moment that our origins were the result of chance. However, he did not want to take chances with destiny. Since God was dead, we were on our own. Therefore, may the best man win. So Nietzsche proclaimed the doctrine of the Superman who imposed his will on the world and defined good and evil, not by appeals to some mythical god, but by his own Will to Power. Naturally, he hated Christianity as a "secret instinct of destruction, a principle of calumny, a reductive agentthe beginning of the endand, for that very reason, the Supreme Danger."
Others shared Nietzsche's dream of a race of Supermen. But they sought to achieve it, not by the Will to Power, but by treating humans like livestock and improving the breed. This school of thought was not an aberration from Darwin's thought but merely an elaboration of it. Darwin himself had made clear that
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes [that is, the ones who look the most like savages in structure]... will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope... the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla.
And so, at the conclusion of his Descent of Man, he points the way for the European race to become the Master Race or simply (once inferior races have been exterminated) the human race:
Man scans with scrupulous care the character and pedigree of his horses, cattle, and dogs before he matches them; but when he comes to his own marriage he rarely, or never, takes such care. [Therefore] both sexes ought to refrain from marriage if in any marked degree inferior in body or mind.
Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton could not have agreed more. Concurring with so many leading thinkers that we are creatures who owe our being, not to God, but to a fortuitous collision of matter and energy, Galton built on Darwin's work by founding a new science of human breeding which he called "eugenics". Galton had no truck with the mysticism of the Judeo-Christian tradition (enshrined in documents like the Declaration of Independence) that "all men are created equal":
I have no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality.
Galton fancied himself a hard-headed scientific thinker. So he naturally constructed what seemed to him a scientific hierarchy of "grades" by which he rated the various races of homo sapiens. It turned out that Galton rated "Negroes" very low, commenting that "mistakes the Negroes made in their matters were so childish, stupid and simpleton-like, as frequently to make me ashamed of my own species" Happily for Galton, he himself belonged to the superior race of Anglo-Saxons, with its wonderful genetic traits capable of "producing judges, statesmen, commanders, men of literature and science, poets, artists, and divines." And, Galton believed, we must make it our goal to better the race still more by selective breeding and the weeding out of the "unfit". Inferiors, he thought, should be treated "with all kindness" so long as they complied with the demand of their betters for celibacy. But if they dared to breed "such persons would be considered as enemies to the State, and to have forfeited all claims to kindness."
Others had a slightly different view of the State, though not of the human person. Herbert Spencer, for instance, had a more libertarian approach. It was Spencer, not Darwin, who coined the phrase "survival of the fittest". He founded the school of thought called "Social Darwinism" which advocated letting nature take its course (without the interference of government or religion) in eliminating the lower types of humanity in favor of the "fit". Many advocates of laissez-faire capitalism agreed with him, seeing the winners in the capitalist system as "fit" and the toiling masses in sweatshops, miserable and hazardous working conditions, and wretched poverty as the losers in nature's colorful pageant of survival. Against backward religious obscurantists who advocated sentimental ideas like "blessed are the poor", Spencer basically championed the notion articulated by an earlier Social Darwinist named Ebenezer Scrooge: "If they would rather die they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Highly Advanced Scientific Thought and New Religious Ideas produced a new and radical politics of race. Haeckel's gung-ho Darwinism saw the "Teutonic race" as the most highly evolved and insisted "lower races (such as the Veddahs or Australian Negroes) are psychologically nearer to the mammals (apes and dogs) than to civilized Europeans". For that reason, said Haeckel, "we must... assign a totally different value to their lives". Because of the crucial importance of preserving the purity of the breed (an importance agreed upon by Galton, Spencer, and Darwin), Haeckel believed that "the nation-state represented the unifying organic power by which the race was naturally organized" and that "the good of the individual was subsumed under the good of the race as directed by the racially defined state." Such a state had both the right and the responsibility to eliminate the possibility of inferior blood polluting the gene pool of the Master Race. Another enthusiastic student of this school of thought concurred, declaring in his book Mein Kampf that:
The folkish philosophy finds the importance of mankind in its basic racial elements. In the state it sees on principle only a means to an end and construes its end as the preservation of the racial existence of man. Thus, it by no means believes in an equality of the races, but along with their difference it recognizes their higher or lesser value and feels itself obligated, through this knowledge, to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal will that dominates this universe.
If that language about the "eternal will that dominates the universe" sounds Nietzschean, that's because it is. Hitler felt himself to embody that "eternal will" to power and to sum up in himself the German Race and therefore, by right, the German state. And since, as he believed, the German race was the highest expression of this mysterious "will" pervading nature, it was not very difficult to take the final blasphemous step once his power over the German State was consolidated:
When a Nazi journal asked readers what "the Fuhrer means to them", typical responses included:
"The Fuhrer is the visible personal expression of what in our youth was represented as God."
"I have never felt the Divine Power as near as in the greatness of our Fuhrer."
"What the Fuhrer has given me is not only a political ideology, but also a religion."
"How shall I put in words what I feel for my Fuhrer... I look up to him now as I prayed to God in my childhood..."
"[The Fuhrer] is the bread of which the soul stands in need. I would like to say openly that the high teaching of the Fuhrer is to me a religion, the German religion!"
"Adolf Hitler means the same as the word God means to a fanatical and orthodox Christian."
Nietzsche, who once said "Better to be God!", would be proud. Prouder still was the fallen angel who once said, "You will be like god, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5). For few men have ever served him better than Hitler, who not only launched a race war costing 50,000,000 lives, but deliberately murdered 11,000,000 peoplesix million of them Jews, two million of them Poles, as well as various othersfor the crime of belonging to "inferior stock".
Hitler was not alone in his mania of murdering for the sake of the race, nationality, or ethnicity. Lots of different people are capable of exalting their own particular bloodline over God as the object of worship and examples can be multiplied forever: Iraqi over Kurd, Turk over Armenian, Hutu over Tutsi. And let no one think that mere membership in some religious groupeven the Catholic Churchautomatically immunizes people from the corrupting effects of "blood worship". During World War II, for instance, Croatian Catholics slaughtered Serbs in death camps like Jasenovac. One of the inmates was a Croatian named Vladko Macek, who witnessed the massacres:
In his memoirs, Macek writes that there was a Catholic chapel in the death camp where priests heard confession. On seeing one Ustasha torturer emerge from confessing his sins, Macek asked him if he was not afraid of the judgment of God. "Don't talk to me about that," he was told. "I am perfectly aware of what is in store for me. For my past, present and future sins I will burn in hell. But at least I will burn for Croatia."
The Philosophies of Pride, whether exalting race or class above Christ, have proved inviting enough to man's fallen nature that they could distort the history of nations and even supplant the Gospel in the minds of many.
The United States was not immune, either. Similar notions found a home right here, not merely among organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, but among the educated elites. The Eugenics movement, for instance, found a warm welcome in the United States and programs to forcibly sterilize roughly 60,000 of the Unfit were enacted. In one famous case (Buck v. Bell, 1927), the forcible sterilization of a mentally disabled black woman was upheld by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.himself a student of eugenicswith the brutally clear words:
It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.
Between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. government conducted a medical experiment on a group of poor and uneducated Americans. They were black men suffering from syphilis, a deadly sexually transmitted disease, who had sought medical assistance. The nature of their illness was kept secret; they were told they had "bad blood." The government and its doctors pretended to help the men, but in reality they just studied the fatal progress of the disease. By 1972, 29 of the men had died horribly of syphilis, 100 had died of related complications, 40 of the men's wives had contracted the disease, and 19 of the men's children had been born with congenital syphilis. "Thus," as Hitler would have said, the United States government ably demonstrated that it by no means believed in "an equality of the races, but along with their difference" recognized "their higher or lesser value" and felt "obligated, through this knowledge, to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal will that dominates this universe."
Like-minded eugenicists in Germany took even more terrible steps to deal with what they deemed to be "lives unworthy of life." This resulted, as we know, in millions of outright deaths. And as the Master Race needed medical research, it also became thinkable, not simply to kill unworthy lives, but to subject them to medical experimentation for the sake of the Worthy. At Dachau, for instance, Reich physicians, eager to find a prevention for hypothermia and reduce the number of pilots who died when they were forced to bail out over the English Channel, immersed prisoners in vats of freezing water till they diedand then dissected them. Other Unfit humans suffered mass sterilization. And, of course, millions were simply gassed and cremated.
All this was, of course, made widely known after the war and so the word "eugenics" (which had previously had a wonderful ring of Hard-Headed Scientific Realism Against Religious Yokelism) suddenly fell on hard times.
Here in the United States, one unfortunate woman suffered terrible setbacks as a result of this public relations catastrophe. Her name was Margaret Sanger, and she had spent years warning against the growth of "human weeds", speaking to Ku Klux Klan rallies, opining that the "aboriginal Australian" was "the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development", and warning the New York legislature that
The Jewish people and Italian families who are filling the insane asylums, who are filling our feeble-minded institutions, these are the ones the tax payers have to pay for the upkeep of, and they are increasing the budget of the State, the enormous expense of the State is increasing because of the multiplication of the unfit in this country and in the State.
Sanger even dreamed of establishing a vast American concentration camp for "morons, mental defectives, epileptics... illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, [and] dope-fiends". In all, she wanted to forcibly imprison about one-seventh of the entire American population. Needless to say, she was an enthusiastic supporter of the pioneering eugenics done by doctors of the Third Reich. For years, her slogan summed up a philosophy warmly received by her colleagues in Hitler's scientific elite: "Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds!"
The problem for Margaret Sanger was that all this became a tough sell in the post-war years, what with pictures of Dachau and Auschwitz circulating in classrooms and history books. So the organization she had founded changed its marketing strategy. Instead of encouraging Americans to worship racial purity, Planned Parenthood instead seized on the much more salable notion (pioneered by Freud) that we should throw off the shackles of guilt and responsibility and worship sex. This was sold as "Birth Control" but the practical outcome was, as Chesterton famously remarked, "No birth and no control."
The outcome of this story is a catalogue of human misery: Massive STD rates, a contraceptive culture in which love and fruitfulness are damned as hindrances to sexual pleasure, the ever-increasing sexualization of childhood, and 1.5 million abortions in the United States alone each year. And so, as Pope John Paul II said, "The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn."

Good Riddance.
During his eight days as a part-time high school biology teacher, Kris Helphinstine included Biblical references in material he provided to students and gave a PowerPoint presentation that made links between evolution, Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood.
I'm very sympathetic to the man, and obviously there would be no serious action at all if a liberal teacher did something similar on his side of the political line.
However, teachers in public schools who want to get students thinking outside the liberal box need to be VERY CAREFUL. If they go about this frontally, without subtlety and "plausible deniability," they're screwed -- and so are the students who they won't get to teach.
Sounds like she got fired for trying to inject political science into a biology class lesson.
LOL! Good for him. I'm sure that sent PP through the roof. ;o)
What in the world does Nazi Germany have to do with evolution? This guy had an agenda contrary to science. He was fired. Good.
It may be just a bit over your head.
Not a "she." Read more carefully. "He" is used several times.
Linking Evolution to the Nazi's in a biology class is far outside of any sane person's box.
Was that distinction particularly significant to the context?
Yes it would be great to get this presentation on Youtube - it would be an instant internet classic
Modern atheists like those of the classical world are also pious. But the worship they offer is not to the gods of Rome but to the gods of the modern state. Political correctness is nothing more than the piety of the infidel.
Is eugenics political science or bad biology?
Yes. Bad biology in theory and bad politics in practice.
Darwinism is not simply biology. It offers a theory of man.
Only if there is no more to man than flesh and bone.
Agreed, but do you think government schools fire a teacher every time he strays off topic, or is it only when he mentions Planned Parenthood and its links to the Nazis.
Darwin showed that material causes are a sufficient explanation not only for physical phenomena, as Descartes and Newton had shown, but also for biological phenomena with all their seeming evidence of design and purpose. By coupling undirected, purposeless variation to the blind, uncaring process of natural selection, Darwin made theological or spiritual explanations of the life processes superfluous. Together with Marx's materialistic theory of history and society and Freud's attribution of human behavior to influences over which we have little control, Darwin's theory of evolution was a crucial plank in the platform of mechanism and materialism
---Douglas Futuyma's Evolutionary Biology (1998, 3rd Ed., Sinauer Associates), p. 5
Eugenincs, or selective breeding to produce a race of super humans. Survival of the fittest. Selective reproduction of the fittest. Manmade evolutionary changes.
Mmmmmkay! Now be quiet and study!
Global Warming=Bush's Fault
Slavery 200 years ago=Bush's Fault
Embryonic stem cell research=Bush's Fault
Earthquakes in California=Bush's Fault
I didn't say they were fair or even-handed about it. The description of what he was teaching that was the point of contention doesn't seem to match the title.
Was that distinction particularly significant to the context?
The anti oil socialist goons would show Al Gore's political tripe "Inconvenient Truth" in a science class without blinking an eye. Anybody who disagreed would get fired. Politics is constantly mixed in with every kind of public education classes.
That's part of the theory. Only it posulates that above man is this god-like being called The scientist. He serves as a kinbd of oracle of this supposed body of knowledge known as SCIENCE. Of course it is really a body except in ther sense that a swarn of lucusts is a body. A swarm of facts seems to change shape with the winds.
I do believe that a teacher who makes a habit out of going out of his subject to teach his/her own political views should not teach my kids. And to be consistent, I would apply this rule to the rare occasion when the teacher takes it in a conservative direction.
Wonder why Fox and AP trimmed the first part of board member Smith's comment?
"Mr. Helphinstine wasn't teaching good science."
(subscription required)
'nuff said
Sorry, but I don't remember that being part of the theory at all. Can you provide a reference for that?
Eugenics or selective breeding has nothing to do with evolution. While breeding for selected traits has had some success in animals, there is really no such thing as "man-made evolutionary changes." And, as to the survival of the fittest, where is Goebels today? In fact, where is that legendary Third Reich? Time now for you to be quiet and to take up study.
What does that have to do with whether the subject of the article was a "he" or a "she"?
Kris Helphinstine is a hero!
God bless him. I hope he's
a FReeper.
"gave a PowerPoint presentation that made links between evolution, Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood."
LOL! Kook. No business teaching school.
Funny to think of Sanger and other Nazis in the same light as AKC showdogs so imbred they can't be taught to crap outdoors...but man they look pretty.
As far as selective breeding goes, it is a very well documented sucess in the animal husbandry, and horticulture industries.
Der Germans were attempting to breed superior genetic stock. Their failure should be seen as the failure of Darwinism. Does 2 and 2 make 4? Or does it make 22?
I feel sad for you that you failed to see the humor in a thread about school and the SP teacher. It was nothing personal. I dont even know you. Why should I?
Can I refer those who tell me that creationists are not anti-science to you for clarification?
"Kris Helphinstine is a hero!
God bless him. I hope he's
a FReeper."
You forgot the Sarcasm Tag.
I agree, the PP/Nazi deniers would have a fit.
If he would have used the quran he'd still be there.
Helphinstine, 27, said in a phone interview with
The Bulletin newspaper of Bend that he included
the supplemental material to teach students about
bias in sources, and his only agenda was to teach
critical thinking.
No sarcasm. He's an individual. I wish him well
in life and kudos for giving this a good try.
If they fired every liberal teacher who injected politics into every subject, they would have to close all the government schools...hey, not a bad idea!
Biology is supposed to be "objective," and limited to a range of observed events. The scientist is supposed to be a disinterested observer, but what is obsaerved requires explanation to be meaningful and every scientist necessarily "adds to" his observation as he observes. Part and parcel of Darwinism is the culture in which Darwin was nurtured. It is this which prevents his science from being objective. So far as science alone is concern, he was most concerned to reject catastropism, the geological equivalent of revolution , in favor of gradualism-- a idea most congenial to Victorian Englishmen.
Creationism is a theological concept. That does not mean that nature is not owing to a creator who can communicate with mankind.
I take it you're going to disavow any responsibility for your own comments and observations having made any contributions to the absence of objectivity in that parcel.
Looks like Mr. Helphinstine will have plenty of time on his hands for "critical thinking."
I think this is called opinion. Why should I claim responsility? It is mine own.
Nice quote. Is that original?
Can I refer those who say that creationists are not anti-science to you for clarification about the theory of evolution and the general subject of science:
"Only it posulates that above man is this god-like being called The scientist. He serves as a kinbd of oracle of this supposed body of knowledge known as SCIENCE."

Two years ago we set out to ski all the named runs on Red Lodge Mountain in one season. I have a history of standing at the top of ominously named runs, asking that old boyfriend, "Are you sure I can ski this?" This was his idea, and I reluctantly agreed, fearing the unknown, but sensing the challenge would be worth it.
The names of some runs truly signal their terrain. In other places, I have skied Vertical Challenge, Exhibition, Sugar, and Chipmunk, knowing what I was getting into. I have learned to be wary of runs named with words like Park, Glade, and Meadows unless they are preceded by Bambi or Tinkerbell. Likewise, I don't trust anything that is prefaced only by The, as in The Wall, The Face, The Cliff. The End.
How did the runs at Red Lodge Mountain get their names? One long-time local skier answered, "Marketing." Some of them honor people like Harlan Thompson and Kenny Hancock. (See Skiing Red Lodge by Mark Edwards and Ray Masters.) Some are local, such as Westside and Eastside Mines. The too accurately named Rock Garden and Stump Run do not appear on recent maps. We have our own names for the three chutes that lead into Barriers, "Papa, Mama, and Baby." A friend refers to Buckin Chute as "Bouncer."
This season we're seeking out the runs that are unnamed or no longer on the Trail Guide, legendary spaces in the steeps and trees. In that spirit we've skied into The Kitchen with its soft snow and West Nosedive where I did just that. We have not yet braved the one we promised not to reveal. Recently there were tracks down the spot indicated as Talus Area. They weren't ours.
The quest to ski the named runs took us all over the mountain. It gave me a reason to not only try the hardest runs but to take on the unknown. As for the words represented by HFNT? Old-timers laugh and answer, "Hope For No Tracks." I'm suspicious.

Well, the other day I received a phone call. I had a lovely conversation within someone who has ancestors from Riverdale, NC as well. This individual found my blog online and that's how we became connected. Well the combination of my urge to research the Mitchells again and this phone call led me to review pictures I had taken from my January trip to New Bern and Morehead City. In my blog post, Tombstone Tuesday: Willie Kennedy --The Future Is Now!, I featured a picture that I had taken of the grave of a Solomon Allen.. In the background of this picture there was another grave that was visible and with the magic of today's smart phone's I was able to crop the picture down to get a pretty good view of Willie Kennedy's grave. Well when I went back over those pictures, I saw another shot that I could kind of do the same thing with. So here it is.
Image from what is referred to as Riverdale Community Cemetery or Mt Olive Cemetery
The grave that is in far left of this image is the one I was able to crop in closer to see the name.
Willie Edward Bunting Sr.
(November 15, 1905--December 21, 1952)
His death certificate has his date of birth as November 11, 1905, but his
World War II Draft Card shows the date as November 15th.
I found on Ancestry.com that there was a Willie Edward Bunting Jr. who died in April 18, 2000. Perhaps the grave behind Sr. is his son's grave.

As parents, one wonders how many sleepless nights have gone by worrying about one's toddler. We want the best for them—health-wise, education-wise, actually the best in every way. And that is precisely why meditation appeals to parents who have tried it themselves or have known its benefits.
But making your kid sit for meditation could be a little challenging. Let's get some questions by parents answered by Versha Pragji in an interview.
Versha is an international teacher for the Art Excel Course, a course designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for children in the age group of 8 to 13 years. She has molded lives for a happy future by bringing the gift of meditation to children. Let us hear how we can make meditation child-friendly, from one who has made it happen!
1 – My daughter is 10 and gets very restless during her mediation. As a result, she just gets up in just 4-5 minutes. How do I help her?
Firstly check your child's diet. Often, children who eat a lot of fast food and processed food and drink carbonated drinks find it difficult to meditate. Also sit with your child and share with her the benefits of meditation and also make it fun family time; this will make her feel good and she will look forward to it and start meditating for longer periods of time.
2 – What role can I play as a parent to ensure that my child meditates regularly?
The best role is to walk the talk. If you meditate and your child sees how relaxed, composed, and happy you are, your child will also want to be like you and meditate. Being a role model to them always helps.
3 – My husband does not support my 11-year old boy doing meditation? He feels that it will not help him. And my son listens to his father and does not meditate. How do I convince my boy that meditation is good for him?
The one way I have found to make a child enjoy meditation is to first explain to them the benefits; I found that making them play a game and then making them sit for meditation works. Also, tell your son that if he meditates he will be able to pass his tests and be stronger and be more energetic when playing sports; this works for boys as they love their sports. And I also tell them that Sachin, the cricket player, meditates everyday and that's why he is so good at what he does, etc... And this works all the time.
4 – My children feel that meditation is boring and throw tantrums; how do I make them sit and meditate?
The only way to make them meditate is to make it fun for them. You could meditate outside in the garden and make them aware of nature, etc. Relax them and guide them through meditation so they understand the benefits. Remember that children get bored very easily and their attention span is very short.
5 – What vital skills can children develop through meditation?
- Focus
- A calm state of mind
- Good health
- Creativity
- Dynamism
- A friendly nature
- Better listening skills
- Improved memory
- Peace of mind
- Happiness
6 – Can you give us a few tips on how to create a conducive environment for children to meditate in?
Yes. I feel that children are full of life and energy, and if we want them to meditate we need to make it interesting for them. And most importantly, we need to have teachers or facilitators who share a good rapport with the children. Making children aware that meditating will help the environment and create peace and harmony in the world apart from making them happy, will definitely make them want to meditate.
7 – Is it important to for us to help children channelize the positive energy they gain from meditation? If yes, can you give us some suggestions on how to do it?
Yes. By making them understand what meditation is and how it has a positive effect on them and the people around them. Tell them that it's like a journey they will take that will turn all their actions into good merits every time they meditate; this will encourage them to want to meditate. Engage them in creative activities more. Also encourage them to do some random acts of kindness. It's important to instill in them the feelings of love, compassion, and service right from childhood, and these naturally blossom when they meditate.
