#BeenRapedNEVERreported Co-Founder Sue Montgomery's Lawyer Mark Bantey Asserted That Sue "Will Not Hesitate" To Sue Me Two Years And Six Months Ago. . .
Dear Mr. Bantey
It is now two years and six months to the day (i.e. 913 full days) since I sent you the forwarded "electronic communication" responding to the highly questionable, to say nothing of quite laughable, cease and desist demand letter that Montréal bailiff Hugo Doucet served me with outside La Tulipe while I was protesting against Montreal Unitarian U*U, "retired" Montreal Gazette "Justice Reporter", #BeenRapedNEVERreported hashtag co-founder, FAILed "wannabe" NDP candidate, "resigned" Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Commission spokesperson, and current "wannabe" mayor of the Montréal borough of N.D.G. - Côte des Neiges, Sue Montgomery's complicity in, and even knowing and wilful participation in, Unitarian Universalist concealment of Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse in general, and U*U clergy sexual abuse of children in particular. You concluded your "less than honest" legal rant by insisting that your ostensible client, Sue Montgomery, "will not hesitate to initiate the appropriate legal proceedings against (Yours Truly)" if I did not immediately remove aka "memory hole" the various internet postings that tell the readily verifiable Truth about Montreal Unitarian U*U Sue Montgomery's complicity in, and even active participation in aka aiding and abetting of, Unitarian Universalist cover-up and denial of U*U clergy abuse. It seems to me that I quite successfully called your Big Fat U*U Bluff 913 days ago didn't I Mr. Bantey? After all Montreal Unitarian U*U Sue Montgomery has now been hesitating for 2.5 years to "initiate the appropriate legal proceedings against" me. Perhaps this Big Fat U*U Hesitation on the part of Montreal Unitarian U*U Sue Montgomery (is) because there simply are no *appropriate* legal proceedings that Sue Montgomery can initiate against Yours Truly for telling the readily verifiable Truth about her, only INappropriate ones aka perjurious legal proceedings aka malicious prosecution. Right Mr. Bantey?
It is very unfortunate that neither you, nor Sue Montgomery, accepted my generous offer of conditional forgiveness if you formally withdrew you false accusation of libel against me and acknowledged that what I was, and still am. . . saying about Montreal Unitarian U*U Sue Montgomery's complicity in the Unitarian Universalist Association's immoral, UNethical, borderline criminal, and I dare say #BatShitCrazy misuse of Canada's blasphemy law in clergy abuse cover-up legal bullying that was quite evidently intended to intimidate me into taking down aka "memory holing" The Emerson Avenger blog posts about "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" committed by "certain Unitarian Universalist ministers", to say nothing of certain Unitarian Universalist Religious Educators aka Sunday school teachers, is not only True, but quite readily proven to be The Truth.
Unitarian Universalist minister Rev. Deborah Pope-Lance has a very low opinion of Unitarian Universalist ministers who engage in such scurrilous Truth concealing legal bullying, and she believes that any Unitarian Universalist minister who engages in such legal bullying should be expelled from the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association. Rev. Pope-Lance, along with a dozen or so other UUA ministers, recently drafted a letter-petition calling for former UUA President, former Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, and current President Emeritus of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz aka Rev. Bill Schulz to be stripped of his membership in the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association aka UUMA for his legal bullying that persuaded the Rev. Gail Seavey and the UUMA to "redact" Rev. Seavey's Berry Street Essay aka Berry Street Lecture in such a way as to conceal what Rev. Seavey said about Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz aka Rev. Bill Schulz in it. Dozens of other Unitarian Universalist ministers signed their names to that open letter-petition addressed to the UUMA Board. You may read that letter here if you have nothing better to do with your precious* time.
Letter to UUMA Board
Needless to say, I have a similarly low opinion of not just Unitarian Universalist ministers who engage in such scurrilous Truth concealing legal bullying, to say nothing of the "less than ethical" lawyers like you and Maitre Marc-André Coulombe who are only too happy to participate in, and this enable, such Truth concealing legal bullying. . . but also ordinary Montreal Unitarian U*Us who engage in, or are complicit in, such Truth concealing legal bullying. Your ostensible client Sue Montgomery is one such Montreal Unitarian U*U and, just as Rev. Deborah Pope-Lance and dozens of other Unitarian Universalist ministers are of the opinion that former Human Rights champion Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz aka Rev. Bill Schulz has disqualified himself as a Unitarian Universalist minister as a result of his apparently quite "successful" attempt at Truth concealing legal bullying, I am of the opinion that Montreal Unitarian U*U Sue Montgomery has disqualified herself from being elected as the future mayor of the Montréal borough of Notre-Dame-de-Grace aka N.D.G. and Côte des Neiges through her own FAILed attempt at Truth concealing legal bullying, to say nothing of her complicity in the UUA's FAILed attempt at Truth concealing legal bullying, and her past participation in the "less than ethical" attempts of the Unitarian "Church" of Montreal to misuse and abuse Canada's criminal justice system in justice perverting legal bullying that was clearly intended to force an end to my ability to exercise my Charter guaranteed civil right to engage in peaceful public protest against Unitarian Universalist clergy abuse, and Unitarian Universalist cover-up and denial thereof, outside the so-called Unitarian "Church" of Montreal.
Please be assured that I will be governing myself accordingly in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Yours Truly
Robin Edgar aka The Emerson Avenger

Abortion: Please visit our New OPINION page.
Yes! You may receive communion in both species, the Precious Body and the Precious Blood, by intinction, or by dipping the Precious Body in the Precious Blood…
No! You may not self-communicate (take the Precious Body) yourself but must receive it from the priest, deacon, or the EMHC. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you permitted to dip the Precious Body in the Precious Blood!!!! You'd like to think a priest would know this.
Yet at a recent concelebrated nuptual Mass where a Roman Cathlolic and a Maronite priest were concelebrating in a Roman Catholic church, a large number of communicants were observed to take the host in the hand and to proceed to the cup and dip it in the Precious Blood and then to place the intinted host in the mouth.
This was done in the clear sight of TWO priests!
So let's be very clear on the rules and instructions promulgated bythe USCCB and the Vatican on this subject: (Pay attention priests, deacons, EMHC!)
GIRM #245 gives clear rubrics on the OPTION and the METHOD of distributing Holy Communion under both Species via Intinction. The Appendix to the GIRM for the USA, #240 EXPLICITLY states the following:
"When Communion is distributed under both kinds by intinction, the host is not placed in the hands of the communicants, nor may the communicants receive the host and dip it into the chalice." This is NOT a 'gray' matter. This is black-and-white. The Appendix to the GIRM for the USA is as binding on us in the United States as is the preceding General Instruction (GIRM). The rubric seems clear and succinct enough, wouldn't you think?. I have difficulty finding the any ambiguities. The rubrics DO say that pastors should not introduce intinction as a means to circumvent Communion in the Hand, hence exclusive use of intinction in the Latin Rite would not be prudent but there is no discouraging or prohibition of it either. The clear alternative is the recommendation that, when the cup is available, that the communicant receive the consecrated host and proceed to receive the Precious Blood from the cup by drinking directly from the cup NOT by intincting the host!
According to the 2004 Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum: "[104.] The communicant must not be permitted to intinct the host himself in the chalice, …".
The document has at its conclusion:
"[186.] … This Instruction, prepared by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments by mandate of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II in collaboration with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was approved by the same Pontiff on the Solemnity of St. Joseph, 19 March 2004, and he ordered it to be published and to be observed immediately by all concerned."
For people to receive Communion by intinction the correct method is given in the 2002 General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM):
287. If Communion from the chalice is carried out by intinction, each communicant, holding a communion-plate under the chin, approaches the priest, who holds a vessel with the sacred particles, a minister standing at his side and holding the chalice. The priest takes a host, dips it partly into the chalice and, showing it, says, Corpus et Sanguis Christi (The Body and Blood of Christ). The communicant responds, Amen, receives the Sacrament in the mouth from the priest, and then withdraws."
In the 1975 GIRM it is at 246(b):
"The communicants approach, make the proper reverence, stand in front of the priest, and hold the communion plate below their chin. The celebrant dips a particle into the chalice and, showing it, says: The body and blood of Christ. The communicants respond: Amen, receive communion "[in the mouth] from the priest, and return to their place."
Congregation for Divine Worship, Guidelines for Concelebration of the Eucharist, Issued by USCCB, November 12, 2003
Communion by Intinction
50. "If the concelebrants' Communion is by intinction, the principal celebrant receives the Body and Blood of the Lord in the usual way, but making sure that enough of the Precious Blood remains in the chalice for the Communion of the concelebrants. Then the deacon, or one of the concelebrants, arranges the chalice as appropriate in the center of the altar or at the side on another corporal together with the paten containing particles of the host. The concelebrants approach the altar one after another, genuflect, and take a particle, dip it partly into the chalice, and, holding a purificator under their chin, consume the intincted particle. They then return to their places as at the beginning of Mass."
Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments,
Prot. 1383/01/L
49. Holy Communion may be distributed by intinction in the following manner: "the communicant, while holding the paten under the chin, approaches the priest who holds the vessel with the hosts and at whose side stands the minister holding the chalice. The priest takes the host, intincts the particle into the chalice and, showing it, says: 'The Body and Blood of Christ.' The communicant responds, 'Amen,' and receives the Sacrament on the tongue from the priest. Afterwards, the communicant returns to his or her place." (53)
50. The communicant, including the extraordinary minister, is never allowed to self-communicate, even by means of intinction.
Communion under either form, bread or wine, must always be given by an ordinary or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion.
We knew several of the communicants personally and, although they belong to a Maronite parish and regularly attend the Maronite liturgy, they are Roman Catholics and should be observing the Roman rules.
Moreover, many of the individuals observed are Roman Catholics in Roman Catholic parishes so there really is no excuse.
We can condone the ignorance of the faithful because of the failure of their pastors in their teaching responsibilities but it is outrageous that a Maronite priest and a Roman Catholic who should be clearly aware
of the instructions should have openly allowed this to have happened.
Moreover, we were apalled that a totally inexperienced member of the bride's family was pullled from the pews and handed the cup; he had absolutely no clue what he was to have been doing! So much for priestly
reverence for the Sacrament!
What is even more disturbing is that the Maronite priest was recently authorized to celebrate the Roman rite in the Diocese of Albany, NY! What criteria are applied to non-Roman-rite priests when they are given permission to celebrate the Roman rite? Obviously the ignorant are also given that sacred permission!
This is yet another of a very LONG list of improprieties and acts of negligence on the part of the enthroned and the arrogance of inexperienced, destructive priests and the perpetration of error in the local churches.

Sustainable Stormwater Solutions for Sedona and Village of Oak Creek
Sedona was asking for input on their stormwater management plan to reduce Monsoon flooding. So we put forth these recommendations: let Nature do a lot of the work.
The Goal: Managing for Multiple Benefits
Elegant, sustainable solutions to stormwater and flooding should address social, economic and environmental needs.
Reduce inconvenience and stress associated with flooding (eg, road blockages, fear of property damage).
Eliminate potential for loss of life.
Reduce stormwater flowing into the stormwater system which then must be treated and processed.
Reduce opportunity for property damage.
Reduce erosion and the spread of pollution
Maximize the use and retention of stormwater for landscapes and natural areas
|Courtesy: Pima Association of Governments
Focusing on getting the rainwater quickly into the stormwater infrastructure is an 'end of pipe' approach. We believe that the Stormwater Management Plan should focus first on strategies that reduce stormwater from reaching the washes and slowing the water in the washes. The following are recommendations from the Sustainability Alliance for a more sustainable, front-of-pipe solutions.
Reduce stormwater flows via "green infrastructure"
Hardscapes—Encourage property owners to manipulate the land to keep rainwater on their property, largely through 'earthworks,' manipulating the landscape drainage to retain water in a controlled fashion. This includes:
· Porous pavement
· Rainwater catchment systems for landscape irrigation
· Rain gardens
· Bioswales and collection ponds
· Curb cuts that let water into natural areas like tree wells
· Green roofs (not sure if these work in our harsh summers)
Softscapes and undeveloped land—City engineers should work with property owners along washes to:
· Install check dams in the wash and use the silt as it builds up for landscaping
· Remove debris and potential pollutants near and in the washes and culverts (and report large logs and debris to the City for removal before Monsoon Season)
· Seed the banks with native plants to protect the washes from erosion
Investigate Public Policy Changes
Public policy has a large role to play in reducing stormwater flows and associated flooding.
· Clarify ownership related to surface water. What can a property owner legally do and not do? (Is the table in the EPA document below still accurate?)
· Where possible, create riparian buffers and/or buy up land adjacent to rivers to allow the rivers to flood naturally. Provide dry dams and ponds that can collect and slow stormwater. Avoid channelizing the water with barriers as this only moves the problem downstream.
· Review building codes and urban plans for stormwater impacts. Do you require new construction to manage stormwater and use it in productive ways? Can you create incentives for HOA's to put in stormwater collection systems? Have you zoned areas for development that should better be used as floodplains?
