First Black Female Rabbi to Head North Carolina Synagogue
Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:43 Published in Religion Archive Alysa Stanton Courtesy Photo
(Taylor Media Services) On June 6, Alysa Stanton will be ordained at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio and as a result become the nation's first African American female rabbi. Stanton, a licensed psychotherapist, and she said she hopes to be a role model for America's small but active population of Black Jews. She told the Jewish publication JTA last week, "I represent the new face of Judaism, a new era of inclusiveness.†Stanton has already been hired by a synagogue in Greenville, N.C. The number of practicing Jews has been declining in America in recent years and some reform groups have been reaching out in an attempt to recruit Black and other minorities. Stanton will be among a unique group. According to the Pew Forum Religious Landscape Survey, released last year, less than one-half of one percent of American Blacks is Jewish.
"The Third Jesus" by Deepak Chopra Courtesy Photo
Author Deepak Chopra attempts to answer the proverbial question "Who is the real Jesus?†in "The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore,†where he presents his argument about the enlightened master of God-consciousness. He analyzes the "God-consciousness†of Jesus through his own words from the New Testament and reveals the manifestation of "Christ-consciousness†which came from Jesus' self-realization of "God-consciousness.†He justifies the importance of certain spiritual traditions which Jesus practiced and believed in as the foundation of his teachings, lifestyle and early Christian practices.
Chopra explores the psychic phenomenon and evolution of Jesus by establishing his deep love for God, his Father. He showcases how political and religious leaders have used the Prince of Peace for their own self-centered goals.

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots. But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election. That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said. President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts. For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008. If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there. This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census. Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said. The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said. Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat. Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo. |

A community 'Kaffeehaus' in Henrico's Far West End
Born and raised in good old Europe, I am quite familiar with the traditional Austro-Hungarian tradition of the Kaffeehaus, an institution that represents a lifestyle of relaxing and thinking in a familiar environment with coffee, pastry, news, good service, marble tables, subdued sounds like the click-clack of the coffee machine, mugs and plates, conversations among patrons and with staff and a bit of low volume Johann Strauss music.
And so it was a thrill to find a modern version of a Kaffeehaus right here in Henrico County: The Daily Grind, near Short Pump Town Center. > Read more.
Oklahoma tornado victims to benefit from Innsbrook concert
The Innsbrook Foundation will present a special concert June 19 at the Innsbrook Snagajob Pavilion to raise funds benefiting the victims of the Moore and Shawnee communities of Oklahoma.
The Innsbrook After Hours RVA Cares event will feature five bands and a family festival in recognition of the many families devastated by the Oklahoma tornadoes on May 20, which killed 23 people, injured 377 others, and left destroyed and damaged homes affecting 33,000 residents. > Read more.
Food trucks arrive in the West End
West End residents no longer have to pick between fighting the summer mall crowds for a quick bite or breaking the bank to eat at a fine-dining spot because one Richmond group is bringing both to them.
RVA Street Foodies, the organization behind the outdoor food truck courts at the Virginia Historical Society and Hardywood Brewery, debuted its new Henrico food truck court at All Saints Episcopal Church on River Road May 22. > Read more.

Good light quality, hardware, chintzy shade. The hardware for this light is good, but the shade material is a bit flimsy. If it's going to be up high, maybe not a problem but not a super high quality design.
i purchased 2 of these to use in my hallway and they look great! gives off a great amount of light.
Replaced an old light fixture in my daughters' bedroom. I wanted something modern yet feminine and this fit the bill. It is absolutely beautiful. I installed it in less than 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this!
The Altea 3-light satin nickel flush mount chandelier looks amazing in my guest bedroom. The amount of light is perfect for the 10x12 room. It is contemporary and looks very classy. It took about 20 minutes to install the fixture. Make sure you don't throw away any of the cardboard before you check to see if you have all the pieces. I thought I was missing a piece, but it was inserted in styrofoam in the cardboard.
ordered a pair of these lights for the extra bedrooms, you can tell they aren't super quality by the weight of them and the thickness of the metal, probably wouldn't use them in a living/dining/master room, but in rarely used guest spaces they fit the bill and the price, they took a little fussing to get exactly right, but they did look good once installed
i am happy with the product. i wanted to upgrade the condo before putting it on the market. this helped to achieve that goal.
For this price I believe I got more than what I paid for! Great looking light! I took the recommendation of the others reviewers and made sure the outer seam was facing away from the main view point. I would have given it four stars but this thing is hard to install... not a very smart design when it comes to self installation. We got it up eventually though.
Fixture looks great and is the perfect size for a 12x13 formal LR turned home office, would also be lovely in a bedroom or hallway. Be sure to turn the seam so it isn't noticeable, and check the box carefully to make sure you have all the parts. The diffuser can be easily missed, as it the other hardware.
If you like what you see on your screen, you will be pleased with this fixture. After reading many reviews, I decided it sounded like a good buy. I am very happy with it! I purchased it to go in a 12 x 10 bedroom to replace a glass flush mount light with two bulbs inside. In comparison, this fixture added a lot of elegance to the bedroom, and with the addition of a third bulb inside, and three 60W bulbs (it can take 100W), the light is much brighter! And while brighter, I should add that it is softer light, due to having a shade. It wasn't difficult to install, and knowing about the seam in the shade was helpful (all shades have seams), when I put it up. I was surprised by the color of the shade in the daytime - it appears white (and the outer mesh is lightly irridescent), but at night when it is on, it looks off-white, as stated in the listing. It's really a nice fixture - if you like what you see, that's what you'll get!
We bought 4 different lighting fixtures from Overstock.com and this was by far my favorite. It is elegant and easy to install. It looks great!

Welcome to the SJ Alpha E3 2012 Awards extravaganza! We'll be giving out highly-coveted virtual awards to games and companies that made this year's E3 so special. Put on your fanciest Internetz browsing duds, and enjoy the "ceremony."
Best Flash Mob/Alien Invasion Simulator
Platinum Games > Wii U
Wanna dress up in fun costumes, run around in a crazy mob, and fight giant alien robots? Then this is your game! Use the Wii U GamePad to summon giant swords, guns, and fists to fight off an army of oversized alien robots. Run around the neighborhood rescuing average people and turn them into superheroes to grow your mob. A really fun far-out game from the crew that brought you cult favorites like Viewtiful Joe and MadWorld.
Best Dynasty Warriors Mash-Up!
Tecmo Koei > PS3
First there was Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, then there was Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. Both games took the classic DW gameplay, wading through crowds of enemies laying down the hurt, and added a new property. Well now it's One Piece's turn! And while Gundam and Fist are fun, the combat is better suited for the crazy attacks in One Piece. Plus, there are so many characters with totally different fighting styles! This is a match made in otaku heaven!
Best Floor Display
Crab Monster Eating the Golden Gate Bridge
Trion Worlds > PC, PS3, Xbox 360
For an E3 that was generally considered a dud, this one had some really epic floor displays. Fifteen foot tall mecha you could have your picture taken in, a power loader being attacked by an alien that you can also have your pic snapped in just to name a couple. But the one that impressed me was the enormous, intricate, and just plain cool Golden Gate Bridge being destroyed display from Defiance. I have no idea if the show or game will be good, but this display certainly was. I bet we'll see it at Comic-Con as well.
Most F-Bombs Per Minute
Square Enix > PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Golly, this game will turn your ears red real fast. Do not play this game with Grandma in the room, lock her up in the basement. In the short time I played it, I there must have been 20 F-bombs! And I think there's even more cursing in Chinese! Aside from the profanity, it's a really fun GTA-style game with a visually stunning world and some hardboiled Hong Kong action movie fun.
Other Rad Game with "Dogs" in the Title
Ubisoft > PC, PS3, Xbox 360
A new IP?! That's insane! Nobody wants to play new games. They just want sequels, right? Wrong-a-roonie! People do want new IP's, just not crappy ones. Ubisoft, the unofficial winner of this year's E3, wowed the crowd with this technological twist on sandbox games. By all appearances, the game looks like a GTA clone, but one where you have almost godlike powers to hack into the city's grid and control all manner of things like stoplights, drawbridges, etc. You can also hack into people's lives and learn their dirty secrets. It's a great concept with a lot of potential.
Most Traumatic Trailer
Square Enix > PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Uhh…I don't think trailers are supposed to make you feel yucky. It's one thing to be rough; it's another to be straight-up abusive. I really think they may have gone a bit too far. The trailer had a sadistic edge to it that seemed out of step with the previous Tomb Raider games. Also, when she utters the phrase "I hate tombs" at the end, it really irked me. One, it's a weak Raider's riff, and two, um…isn't she like a tomb raider or something?
Saddest Copycat Game
Sony > PS3, PS Vita
Imitation is the purest form of flattery, but straight-up copying is just sad. Usually copycat games are reserved for the cellphone game industry, and not megacorporations like Sony. On top of that, their roster is really strange. The reason Super Smash Bros. is so successful is those characters are ingrained into our youth and many people have an emotional connection to them. Anybody really identify with the Killzone guy? Fat Princess? A sad sign of the times. That being said, it's nice to see Parappa!
Brainiest Rhythm Game
XSEED > PS Vita
I love game genre mash-ups! Especially one's out of left field, and that's definitely where this rhythm/RTS game comes from. You control a god who dances through a battlefield to the rhythm. Enemies attack you along the way, and it's your job to pick out the right color and type of troops to meet their attack—to the rhythm of a song. Pick the wrong color or miss a beat, and they'll be consequences. Do everything right, and your army will get stronger. A really neat conept that will appeal to those looking for something a little different.
Handsomest Fighting Game Character
Persona 4 Arena > PS3
I'm a sucker for well-dressed individuals smoking cigars. Look at his smile! Look at his big eyes! So handsome! No seriously, I tend to gravitate towards the wacky character in fighting games. Dr. Faust, Voldo, Dhalsim, if there's an oddball, I'm playing him. That's why I instantly fell in love with Teddie. Not only is he cute, he's actually pretty good in battle. Developed by System Arcs (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue), this slick 2D fighter, is fast and very easy on the eyes. Good stuff.
Biggest Surprise from the Big Three's Press Conference Award
Winner: Nobody!
Nobody dropped any bombs, blew people away or even surpised them! All three companies, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony pretty much announced super obvious sequels, software updates, and silly peripherals. Hopefully, all the flak they rightfully got from the gaming press will prompt them to reexamine why they even have press conferences and actually release some information next year. We'll have to wait and see.
And that wraps up the annual SJ Alpha E3 2012 Awards! Hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you on the red carpet next year!

A man who is terribly attractive. Saying so little is like making him an equal with Brad Pitt, which is so unfair. The truth of the matter is that George Clooney is much more than good-looking. He is the man. He doesn't look 42 because he was actually born in 1961, which would make him a little older. Which means he looks amazing for his age. Not that he's old. George has captured audiences with his charm and humor. He gets viewers' attention seemingly effortlessly. A film with his name can not help but do well. Who wouldn't marry George Clooney?

The 2013 Russell Athletic Bowl will take place on Saturday, Dec. 28th at 6:45 p.m. ET. The game will air nationally on ESPN.
[Read more]
Virginia Tech completed its 20th consecutive winning season with a 13-10 overtime victory over Rutgers in the 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl. The Hokies rallied from a 10-0 deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter before Cody Journell's field goal in overtime gave them their first lead of the game. They sealed the victory when Rutgers kicker Nick Borgese missed a 42-yard field goal attempt in the Scarlet Knights' overtime possession.
Nobody had a better week than Virginia Tech cornerback Antone Exum.
Earlier this week Exum gave his Best Buy gift cards to three kids in need and gained national attention. ESPN, CBS and many other media outlets praised his actions.
He was a star at the Give Kids the World Village dancing and playing games with the children.
And now he's the 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl MVP after Virginia Tech defeated Rutgers 13-10 in overtime.
Any big plans for tonight?
On Thursday morning, Rutgers coach Kyle Flood met with media one final time before tomorrow's game.
Virginia Tech and Rutgers gave back to the Central Florida community at the Give Kids the World Village Wednesday morning.

Whilst the children and adults who access Fairfield's, residential, respite, education and outreach services regularly benefit from the facilities at Higher Thorns Green farm, it was lovely that their families, siblings and friends came along to take part in the activities and share the fun and see the fruits of the children's hard work, all the raised fruit and veg beds are bursting with healthy home grown produce. Paul Barker, Fairfield's Skills Tutor, refurbished 'Burt' the scarecrow, ready for his summer duties. In the stables a chance to meet the two donkeys with their new born foals or meet up with 'Matilda' the new Jersey cow and her calf 'Summer', thanks to a grant through Natural England, Fairfield Farm Project has received funding for a small mobile milking machine, allowing children to experience milking 'Matilda' whilst learning where their food comes from. Thanks to John and Alison Erlam for the loan of two little lambs that children thoroughly enjoyed bottle feeding. Munchkin, the stunningly beautiful barn owl with its heart shaped face, gathered many admirers and his handler Jane from 'Out of the Ark' answered many questions on barn owls in particular. The wriggling ferrets were anxious to get out of their cages and to take part in the ferret racing which was highly entertaining. 'Oops A Daisy' Circus Skills demonstrated juggling and children and adults all had a go, with varying degrees of success. Sarah Erlam supplied beautiful hand decorated cup cakes, complete with sparkles and bows. In the farm courtyard bee hives were seen being constructed and the beeman found himself bombarded with questions. Fairfield's and Hale Civic Society are in partnership in the Bee Project which is an exciting initiative allowing both young and old to learn and experience bee keeping and the thrill of harvesting fresh honey. At 3 o'clock there was great excitement when Mark Wilkinson, a mobile sheep shearer arrived to shear the four sheep in residence. Everyone gathered round to see the expertise of the sheep shearer and was amazed at the skill, the technique and timings to take a complete fleece off an animal. There are now plans to invite a weaver to demonstrate cleaning, dying and weaving the fleeces, culminating in the making of a Fairfield woolly jumper!

Dear Editor,
This is for the people of Huntington Township. I cannot believe how ignorant some people can be. We had an issue up for a vote. Beer sales in Vinton. Now it seems that we are to stay a dry village. We will never progress as you don't realize that for every sale made, Vinton Village would get revenue. Money! People will still drink beer in Vinton, but because you are ignorant, those who drink beer will go to Wilkesville or Gallipolis and buy it, and those areas will get the revenue. Money! So don't start complaining that we have nothing in Vinton, because it is your fault for voting NO on the issues.

The Greentown Grapevine – 1994-02, 01:02 - Page 1 |
Previous | 1 of 14 | Next |
Volume 1 Issue 2 February 1994 The Alexanders, Residents of the Month Ron and Mary Alexander have been Greentown residents since 1987. After their marriage in 1983, they lived in Georgia for three years and began remodeling an older home there. When Ron began working at Delco, the Georgia home was sold and the family moved to a rental home on SR 26 just south of West Liberty. Both had always been impressed by Greentown even before moving here. They both like a small town and it was a nice distance from Kokomo where Ron worked. They were interested in a good school system for their five children and knew Eastern was one of the best. Other factors they liked about Greentown were: it was not " big city", good food at the fair, and driving to and from work without the sun in you eyes! Since becoming residents, they say Greentown will always be their home. When Earl Petty, a local realtor, showed the Alexanders the house at 804 E. Main, Mary said it was the answer to her childhood dream. That dream included an open staircase and a fireplace. This home had both! The house was built in 1912 by Charles Jenkins, a relative of David Jenkins, owner of the glass factory. The builder's name and the year built were found written on a wall behind several layers of old wallpaper. Sometime later the house was sold to the McQuiston family and eventually became a rental property. The house was old and needed a lot of repair, but the Alexanders were not discouraged. Ron and Mary purchased their home in April of 1987 and began the remodeling before moving in. For several months, they worked day and night, eating microwaved frozen dinners until the home was ready to be occupied. They have stripped the old paint from the woodwork, staircase, and fireplace and have repainted. The attractive " gingerbread" trim on the exterior is handmade by a man in Tennessee. Future plans include a new garage, shutters, and a picket fence surrounding the yard. Although they say much more needs to be done, the house looks beautiful and is a definite asset to our Ron's hobbies, beside working on his home, are restoring old cars and bass fishing in the reservoir. He works at Delco Electronics as a tinsmith. Mary's hobbies are toll painting, crafts, and antiques. After giving up her job in the Eastern High School cafeteria, she and her brother started their own business. " Sign- Up" community. The Sawdust Shop, Business of the Month Like many small businesses, the Sawdust Shop had it's beginnings in " a hobby which got out of control." Five years ago Marvin Rees crafted a toy train in hs wood shop and showed it to some fellow workers. It sold that day and he took orders for three more. Since then his shop, just west of his home at 228 E Railroad St., has yielded many more trains, trucks, doll furniture and other wooden items. Marvin's trucks have an authenticity born of experience, as he recently retired after 21 years as a truck driver. An area he expects to expand into is doll house furniture. A graduate of Western High School, Marvin and his wife Kay moved to by Jolene Moore designs and constructs custom signs for businesses. Ron and Mary both say that one of their favorite activities is spoiling their five grandchildren! the Alexander family! The CRAP€ viIv€ is proud to feature by Rachel Jenluns Greentown in 1955 after his discharge from the Air Force. They have been in their present home since 1956 and have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. Marvin has served as a Director of the Greentown Area Business Association and has worked on their craft and flea market committee. He presently holds the office of Junior Steward in the Masonic Lodge and is a member of the American Legion. Marvin displays h s creations at craft shows and at the Howard County 4- H Fair. He invites you to call him at 628- 3863 or stop by the shop. Each month's Featured Business is selected at random from the membership list of the Greentown Area Business Association.

Cardinal George Says Same-Sex Marriage Is 'Against The Common Good', Do You Agree?
Cardinal Francis George releases a strongly worded letter as the State Legislature moves closer to a vote on gay marriage.
As gay marriage moves closer to a vote in the Illinois General Assembly, Cardinal Francis George has released a letter attacking the notion of same-sex marriage itself and urging Catholics to voice their objections.
A vote could happen in the Senate as soon as today as lawmakers look to pass the legislation during the lame duck session. Illinois would become the 10th state in the country to allow same-sex marriages.
In his letter, George argued that because same-sex marriages cannot be consummated and are not undertaken for the purpose of conceiving children that government, "has no power to create something that nature itself tells us is impossible."
He qualifies his argument by writing that the Catholic church offers support for the gay community through various ministries. George argues that opposition to the potential law is crucial because of societal acceptance same-sex marriage would gain if it is viewed as legal.
"Human dignity and human rights are then reduced to the whims of political majorities," he writes.
Supporters of same-sex marriage have long argued that legalization is a human rights issue and the restriction of marriage rights to heterosexual couples is its own form of discrimination.
The law would force no religious institutions to perform same-sex marriages.
Gay marriage has been gaining support nationally at a comparatively rapid rate in recent years. Recent polls have consistently indicated that over half of Americans support it. That number spikes to 72 percent of Americans between 18 and 29 years of age, according to a CBS News poll.

John Godson
9:24 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
absolutely correct. Same sex marriage is awfully odd and against common sense and natural order of life. Those who advocate this anormaly need to go leave in a different planet, because same sex mates never brought these loons and advocates into existence. If that is their choice, they should engage in it quietly in shame and disgust for their quire lifestyle of deviance. This same sex stunt is unsustainable because of its crudely raw.and animalistic instincts.
John Godson .

That is absolutely a terrible thing to say. Just because you believe in some made up religion with no proof of actual substance, doesn't mean others who disagree with your beliefs belong another planet.
Tony S
7:27 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
The "against nature" argument is simply invalid. Homosexuality has been documented in over 2,500 animal species. It would appear that homosexuality is rather common. Also, the fact that our planet is becoming overpopulated is completely unsustainable. Homosexuality is one of the most sustainable population control measures ever.
11:14 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Perhaps John G. needs to realize that diversity is inevitable in a society consisting of more than one person. Is it just individuals who identify as GLBTQ that should have to go live on other planets or should we extend this to include anyone other than John himself?
It's time for John (and George) to realize that sexual relations, gender identification, etc. do not define a person. Identifying as GLBTQ is like saying you have red hair, enjoy reading, have caramel-colored skin., green eyes, are Catholic, etc. It's one characteristic that contributes to a person's identity. Although others may choose or be destined for different paths than our own, we must coincide in this one world. Although it would be easiest to send John to another planet rather than all the gays, I say we embrace his limited and out dated views and let him stay on Earth to witness homosexual love shared publicly without any shame or disgust.
11:16 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
@ Gianni Law - it's interesting how you correlate being gay with being liberal (and most likely democrat). There are plenty of republicans/conservatives out there who identify as GLBTQ. One "liberal" view or opinion does not make a person liberal. May the veterans you refer to rest in peace. Perhaps by embracing others and eliminating hate and fear we can one day live in a world that doesn't require violence to solve disputes (forever an idealist I know). Until then, lets remind Gianni to bless the fallen WWII veterans who identified as GLBTQ as it is not something new.
11:52 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Well I can't make up my mind, Does Cardinal George look more like Uncle Festus or Curly....?
12:49 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
As the leader of Chicago Catholics, Cardinal George has a duty to tell his followers what being a good Catholic means. But that is not what he's doing. What he's doing is instructing Catholics to pressure legislators, and pressuring them himself, joined by like-minded clerics, to craft laws that force non-Catholics to follow Catholic doctrine.
That makes it everybody's business. It is the right (duty?) of non-Catholics to resist religious notions being imposed on Illinoisans through law.
12:54 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
I believe in God but not in the greed and narrow-mindness of men! If you remember your religious traiing God loves everyone, he made everyone, and God doesn't make mistakes! Men make mistakes, they make foolish laws, rules, pronouncements on others. They are only Men like you and me. Let God sort it out.

In order to keep their tax-exempt status, religions are supposed to refrain from involvement in politics and legislation. Sounds like there are several religions that should start paying taxes! Further, marriage is often touted by social scientist and conservatives as the glue that holds society together. So why forbid anyone from getting married? OR, to paraphrase Mark Twain ( I think!), let everyone get married so that we can all be miserable together!

The moral decline is promoted in blatantly sexual television programs and print media...children are seeing this and " normalize" abnormal behavior. Even 20 years ago the behaviors being promoted now. Ie. interracial marriage and homosexuality etc. would have been unthinkable...churches are closing across the country for lack of attendance. We have mass shooting if school children cities have increasing violence. Christmas displays are prohibited...The country is morally and monetarily bankrupt....
7:03 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
America has become the land of the LIARS ! It's acceptable to fail and when you do just Lie everything will be alright your gov't will take care of you. Morals do not exist in America today!

Cardinal George seems to equate marriage with sex, neither of which he knows much about from a practical point of view. Marriage between two loving people is much more. I'm sorry he sees only the sex part.

Thank you for printing this and keeping us informed. The wonderful thing about listening to God is that He Who made us actually gives us the road map back home to Him in Heaven. He actually tells us, truthfully, everything we need to know and do and how to do all things. He created each one of us with a conscience in order to help us. And he gives each of us a heart with which to love. I'm following Him and His ways!

Everyone just say yes or no. And one reason why you support or oppose. I can't read that we'll, but I really want to be informed. I'm living in a purple or blue state. Wisconsin since may 2010. But I'm from Illinois, and would like to be back within two months. But I'm not sure exactly how Illinoisans really feel about religion, morals, sexuality, and as someone put it, truth. Please tell me what's going on? BTW- I'm neutral. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Or leave them out.

What about everybody skipping out on income tax increases. That's immoral. We are receiving government services. Like social services, etc. if a gay couple takes in a needy kid, and provides some structure for the kid, I see nothing wrong with being gay. I love gay people. Only thing is when the ridiculously rich kids misuse power over us average kids. I can't even read intellectual or highly educated reports. What happened to benevolence in the world. Rich kids used to help kids like me. Now I'm more likely to be bullied, and shamed by life. And I'm 38. But I'm guessing in dogs years about 14.

Too funny. After the "sins" the Catholic Church have demonstrated... hypocrisy, misogyny, and remember that war when the pope turned a blind eye on the holocaust? Then there's child molestation, cover-ups, still no equality for women (god forbid?)... and this is based on a changing story about virgin births and water walking. But if that's your moral authority, go ahead, I won't stop you. I'll question your sanity but I won't stand in your way. You may not stand in the way of my LGBTQ brothers and sisters either.

I see the usual bigots are showing up hiding behind religion. I was raised a Christian but left the church because of the hypocrisy. You speak of brotherly love and express your hatred with your bigoted remarks. Have you ever heard of separation between church and state? Everyone has the right to the pursuit of happiness and equal treatment under the law. The tide has changed and there will be gay marriage eventually. Thankfully the younger generation is more enlightened and will help to wrong the rights of old school religious zealots.

Being a Christian doesn't indicate your position on equality. Such as gay marriage. I'm still a Christian, I'm not sharing, blocking, greedy, mean, cruel, person. That's my capacity.
8:22 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
While many straights are forgoing marriage and children, the gays have yet to learn to be careful what you wish for. I suppose they want it for insurance, banking and estate purposes. Otherwise common law would suffice. Passing a llaw is necessary only because of other laws passed previously. Sort of the law of unintended consequences. I doubt that this whole issue has little to do with love, social stability or all of that stuff. This is about money, like most other issues.
8:37 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
The Tax Free status of the Catholic Church should be reviewed since the Cardinal is preaching political positions. Also, natural order? His stance is basically that there should also be a fertility test before a straight couple can get married. If they are unable to bear children, they can't get married. Adoption? His position does not consider that either.
8:38 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
There have been many good points made in many comments above. The issue is very simple. Most people. even many Priests either do not know what the Church teaches or they are afraid to stand up for their beliefs. The Church does teach, that NOBODY has a right to tell anyone who too love. God is Love, we are created by Love, to Love and be loved. However, there are two requirements for sex to be ordered morally. 1, sex needs to be mutually satisfactory. 2, it needs to be open to procreation. Ergo, sex is only morally ordered in a marraige between a woman and a man. Even if they cannot have children, it is still ordered as it is open for both requirements. According to the teachings of the Church, premarital sex is wrong for the very same reason as gay sex. I am not against legal union where gay people in a committed relationship have the same legal rights. I do however agree with the Church. That marraige is NOT to be redefined. The Church loves gay people as much as hetero people.
8:59 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
Very few understand the natural law upon which the church's moral teachings are based. It matters not because the natural law operates regardless of belief or understanding. Contravening natural law eventually leads to trouble and then men step in with "laws" trying to fix what cannot be fixed. Does anyone really think that legalizing gay same sex marriage will somehow void natural law? As I said in another post, the legal thing is about money. All of the other stuff is smoke to get the law passed.
4:30 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Matt - I don't want to be married in your church and have no interest in the teachings. They don't apply to me or anyone outside of your church.
8:45 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
If it was true that the church loved gay people as much as heterosexual people there wouldn't be this discussion. Gay people wouldn't be afraid to come out to family, friends and employers. If your're gay you understand what I'm saying. If your straight you have never felt the pain of rejection from family and friends. There is a reason why the suicide rate is much higher with gay youth.
8:50 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
John Kerr, sex goes hand and hand with marraige. You cannot seperate the two. As for as natural law is concerned, just because there are many other species that are are gay, does not have anything to do with what we are talking about. Taking religion out of this, natural law dictates that sex is made for love and procreation. All we need to do is look at the physical make up of all beings, especially those made in the image and likeness of God. As far as seperation of Church and State is involved, all we need to do is look around at this world... Our own city and State. Once God is removed, and it does not have to be my God, but once God is removed from even the Pledge of Allegience, look what we are left with. In the past 6 months, there were over 300 killed in Chicago. In Iraq there were roughly 225. The pension fund is under by almost 80B. We have the strictest gun control laws. If you ask me, and nobody did, but I will comment on it anyway, we NEED to bring God back into schools. Also, if the Church did not lobby, and was such a part of fighting Civil Rights, there would still be different drinking fountains for different colors...I know I addressed a few different issues here, and was a bit all over the place, but the point is we NEED God back into our schools, and Government.

RB, It does not matter if a couple can have children. The fact remains that they are open to it. In order for something to be true, there can be no contradictions. Major premis, minor premis, conclusion. Here is a good example.. I think we can all agree that ALL human life has the right to life, right?(minor premis). A fetus(zygote) is a human being at the lowest stages of actualization, it is not a dog, a cat, or a flower, but a human life at the beginging stages of life(major premis). Therefore, a fetus has the right to life(conclusion). Just thought I would open another can of worms...

I find gay people to be cool, nice personality, lively, fun, creative, wealthy and compassionate. I can't handle hate sex, a day longer. A baby would not conceive of an environment negative like that either, not if its my flesh and blood. Don't do that to a child.

Respect for the human race is essential & our world is slowly chipping away b/c of our lack of. Everyone is different, thank God, but this generation of narcissism is simply reverting us back in the ages. We are showing our true colors and I find it very sad.

Yes and the free thinkers have also revealed themselves, Those who aren't hindered by a misguided and controlling god.

Gays can already marry in Illinois. Don't believe me? How about if a Gay Man marries a Lesbian Woman? If Illinois prevents a gay guy from marrying another, it would be prejudicial and against the principle of equality under the law. Preventing a 'same sex' person from marrying another is also prejudicial since the reason cited is that the couple could not conceive. Oh heavenly father, Cardinal George, numerous opposite sex couples cannot conceive also, should their marriages be extinguished? George, where was your God when a nutcase shot 20 children a few weeks ago, was he overwhelmed with worry about gays marrying each other? Overall, isn't it better to allow persons to decide for themselves who does the dishes and who does the laundry?

I agree that there is and should be gay union. I do not agree that we redifine marraige, at all. The Church in fact does love gay people. Again, the Church teaches that nobody or institution has the right to tell anyone who to love. But there are things that are right and wrong. One of the major problems in this Country is the GREAT lack of morality. If we say that whatever you do is ok as long as it does not hurt me is not making a moral choice. Therefore, it is the same as making a wrong choice. The Catholic Church has done a lot of the gay community. But to approve of something that does not follow the requirements for sex to be right, or ordered towards the good, is in fact wrong. Too say because the Church does not approve of sex outside of marraige, which is wrong for the same reason gay sex is, is the cause of suicide is wrong. The Church is not responsible for the incredible tragedy of young gay teenagers committing suicide. In fact the opposite is true, the Church is trying to prevent that from happening. This Country is in such a mess because we do not stand up anymore and make moral choices. The only absolute truth that many people beleive is that there are no absolute truths. That is sad. People wonder why there is such evil in this world. With the focus on the human soul, not what we do, or what we have, but who we are, we can begin to stop evil from running rampant in our families, and communities. We need to stand up to evil, by making ordered, moral choices.
4:44 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Where is this morality you speak of when hundreds of Catholics priests sexually abused and molested thousands of children over the last 50 years while church leaders looked other way and let it continue to this day? We are still waiting for the pope to even acknowledge any of it happened or God forbid apologize for it. Thank you, but no.
11:15 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
The Church is not trying to control weak minded people. That insulting and riduclous comment is so full of logical fallacy it is almost entertaining. Where was God during the killing of innocent youth in Conn.? God had nothing to do with that. We were created in His image and likeness, which means we have the ability to know and see things as they are, we can judge things to be what they are. Also, we have free will. When God, not religion, but GOD, is taken out of school, and emphasis is placed on what you have or do as opposed to our essence, our souls, then we live in a world full of evil...Turn on the news, open a news paper, we see proof everyday, all day. The Church does more for the poor then ANY institution in the world by the way. That is factual. We do need more Love in this world. Love with a capital L. Love with a capital L is another term for God. Things will not change in this Country if we do not bring God back into our lives. It is good you turned out good without beleiving in God as you say. But you know a tree by its fruit. Not by how big it is. Your God does not have to be mine. Religious institutions need to be reformed. To bring God back into them. But real beleivers and leaders have the right and obligation to teach this society to make moral decisions. To live moral lives. JC., what makes you a free thinker and not me, or anyone else on here? What is it that differentiates you as a free thinker as say, me? Would like to hear that logical answer?
11:57 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
To speak of logic , One must first understand it and it's link with reality ,
Now how can you refer to a supernatural being that lives beyond the laws of the physical universe. And ask for logic? Now that is amusing because the first thing you ask for is to throw logic and reason out the window.Now you are speaking of magic and superstition . Which by nature has no place in a discussion of anything resembling logic.
There are irrefutable laws that govern our universe and gods just don't cut the mark.
So any argument that you make is coming from a time when superstition and magic was the limit of understanding....We have transcended this...Well some of us anyway

But in the north woods of Wisconsin we have wild life. Bob cats, coyotes, wolves, deer could be dangerous if you get too close. Bear, cubs, crows, angry birds, predators. I swear I want to walk to Chicago. Maybe not. Maybe it's all a lie about the north woods. I did see a panther, and a wolf. While driving nearby. A wasp landed on my finger and tickled me once. Is it too dangerous to walk home? I would leave everything here. I might walk out soon. I need a route to highway 73. From old 8 road in prentice Wi.

This letter to the Cardinal by a wife and mother says it all....
1:22 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Well said Jim. Faith is a gift that is freely given, but also must be freely received. Philisophically speaking, Socrates built on what Plato wrote. Aristotle took that further by writing that every action has an end, that end is either towards the good or towards evil. Aquinas took it a step further by writing of the good and made it God. As he wrote to the philisophical proof for the existence of the Unmoved Mover, which he called God, all our actions are now directed towards the good which is God. Everything we do is directed towards God or evil. Also, because we live in community, my actions have a ripple effect that affect your lives. And vice versa. We take God out of our intitutions, however you define Him, out of the picture this is what we wind up with, a world full of selfish, evil world. Our children are being slaughtered in there schools. I am grateful I accepted the gift of Faith. I also see how people can live good and moral lives based on a set of virtues not values, but virtues. Values are subjective. Virtues are true, for everyone all the time. Again, I have loved ones that are gay, i do not feel any different about them then I do hetro people. I also agree with gay union. I want my cousin to be able to have the same legal rights with his lover as we have. However, I absolutly dissagree with changing the definition on marriage. Civilly or Morally. We need to bring Morality back.. We need to bring choice back Choice based on things that are absolutly true.

50% of marriages end in divorce. Bring morality back? So, you're saying that preventing a committed couple from marrying is bringing morality back? Seems to me this moral 'majority' should take a look at their own house before they prevent someone from getting married. Catholic doctrine should have nothing to do with civil law. If a Catholic Church wants to opt out of marrying a gay couple they can do so. They already bend the rules so many times to marry straight couples who 'annul' a 20 year marriage so they can say they didn't get a divorce and thus remain active in the church. Talk about hypocritical!

Gays really don't care about being accepted by the church it concerns legal rights.
5:30 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
My Church welcomes Gays and Gays are very active contributing members in Church. It's a personal choice and not as a broad statement that "gays dont care whether they are accepted by the church". Many Gays believe in God and worship, many don't. Kind of like society in general. Some churches don't welcome Gays. Regardless, any Church should not control civil law. Separation of church and state.
5:51 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
That is right...The Church does need reform. Carol is right, and I think it is something we all agree. My cousin and his lover are both Catholic. They do not care if they are married in the Church. Like I said a few times above, I am for all gays having the same legal rights as hetero's. But NOT redefining marriage. What does divorce and the other stuff have to do with making this world a better place. By acknowledging the fact there are absolute truths we all need to adhere too and live moral lives based on the human soul being the focus of this world and not what the human does, or is or has which is where the focus is now.

And I'm the crazy one here? Maybe I should just keep hiding in the woods in Wisconsin. To get a new perspective. Can't believe men are so mean outwardly. And in print. No words. There's a new breed of them too in Illinois . Be aware, and avoid them. They spew evil and their outlook is just dark. That's education I guess.

Oh come on now Mel, John was makin a joke. I doubt he's evil and you did kind of set yourself up for that one. Now I for one can laugh at myself . You almost have to be able to do that in this day and age. Now how about we start planning your rescue....

Guess I'm crazy for misspelling words, and poorly educated. I was the first to say I don't read well. And use lay mans speech. It's fine. At least I said positive things about gay marriage. And beware of random people that degrade others whenever they please. Otherwise nice posting. And everyone be blessed. :)

Why anyone would care what a Cardinal, or anyone who has risen to a level of authority in the Catholic Church as it exists today, has to say is beyond me. This institution has about as much to do with the teachings of Jesus as our mass media has with critical thinking. If pedophilia and outright suppression of women (nuns do most of the good work in the name of the Church, but their struggle for equality is continually rebuked by these outrageously pompous and entitled men in robes) weren't enough to make people walk away, then what hope is there of seeing them give their "blessing" to gay people who wish to marry? Get over it people. Walk away from this psychopath-infested institution. Jesus isn't there. He's in you...and he'll cheer you on when you make the break.

Bill Maher thinks the pope and the cardinals are gay because they wear long dresses, fancy hats and lots of expensive jewelry.

What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their biz. Frankly I don't want to know or constantly hear about it: hetero or homo. We are entitled to religious freedom. Catholic doctrine not only compells but requires the Cardinal and all Catholics to prosletize. Yes many Catholics don't agree w/ the Cardinal/ and doctrine. However, it is doctrine based on the common fact that the propagation of our human species depends on the joining of a man and woman. Statically, the best outcome arises from them being in a committed relationship as defined by the covenant of marriage. While there are instances of homosexuality in the animal world, we are not animals! We have reason- common sense that places us at the top of the food chain for our ultimate survival. We enjoy great freedom in the USA which enables us to love whom we choose even if it defies the common sense of natural law or religious doctrine. Do we really want govt meddling any further w/ either?

The idea is not a Reilgious arguement. We can certainly go into a religious argument. But in order for us to do it we need to base it on fact, not opinions. The fact is the Church does NOT subjugate women. According to the Catholic Church women are just as important as men. They do however say that there are differences between men and women, equal, but different. Therefore men and women have different roles. One is not more important then the other. Some would argue that the woman's role in the Church is more important then the men. There is also NO doubt that the leaders of the Church have made EVIL decisions through the 2013 yr history of the Church. That does not negate the Truth of what She teaches. It is the Sacraments that keep me Catholic. Not the Holy Father, or Priests or Nuns. Faith and reason go hand and hand. Unfortunately for some, faith and reason are not dead. No matter what I think of the Cardinal, I see where he as an obligation to stand up and lobby for what the Church teaches. Also, if the Church did not like gay people, we would have a lot less Cardinals, Priests and Nuns. The interesting thing so far to me in these posts, is that most do not talk about their opinions being backed by fact. Most of the responses to my posts have not been based in logic or reasonable arguments. Just opinions. None of the questions I asked of others have been answers directly. I do not care if people disagree with me, as long as they have facts to back what they say.

look above in previous posts...I am interested if anyone actually knows what the Church teaches about sex? What is it that makes sex morally correct?

Just for the record. I believe gay men and women should have a legal union to have the same legal rights as my wife and I do. I do not believe that we should change the definition of marriage. Marriage is between a man and a woman. There is a difference there. So, again, none of the questions I asked were answered directly, so what logical facts would you like to discuss?

Your entitled to your opinion. Law should just change it to Legal Union for everyone.

The Cardinal may be correct about the common good. Time will tell. My guess is that "marriage" like "education" will be dumbed down and that folks who don't want to be included inh that melting pot will find a new way to form a union perhaps with a new definition and new laws to govern the financial and other legal issues. Something like 46% of all births are out of wedlock presently.
I am fascinated by some of the veiled anti-religious tone of some posts. Hard to tell if they are anti God or just ant-religious. But who can name a human orgainization free of stupidity or corruption or evil or all three. For those who are not determinists, I can only say that without evil there would be no free will. Without free will there would be no God. Of course some would say that a television does indeed show signs of intelligent design but that the universe does not.

Well said Jim. If we ask a direct question we do not get a direct response. So how can we have an actual logical discussion. For something to be true, there cannot be any contradictions. Major premise, Minor premise, and conclusion must all follow each other. If we cannot have a logical discussion then everything comes down to what you said earlier, :if it feels good, do it".
