Gideon the gosling loves toy Otto; Gideon loses Otto; Gideon finds Otto. Joy, oh joy.
Gideon and his toy octopus, Otto, are inseparable. They swim, play and read together. But one day, Gideon leaves Otto on a wall while he plays with his bunny friends. During their playful romp, Otto falls into the long grass. Gideon searches desperately until Otto rides out of the grass on a turtle's back. There you have the entire tale, told simply, but conveying heartfelt emotion. Gideon, a new character in Dunrea's sweet gosling series, like his predecessors, reflects very young readers' concerns, experiences and confusions. Gideon and Otto are loving friends, no matter that one of them is an inanimate toy. His feelings of sadness and worry when Otto is missing are universal, as is his relief and happiness when they are reunited. The small 6 x 6 format is just right for little hands, as is the clarity of the design. Each page has one sentence in large typeface with an illustration above that perfectly matches the action and is surrounded by lots of bright white space. The illustrations are neatly outlined in black and are rendered in pen, gouache and ink on watercolor paper, with true shades of oranges, yellows and greens predominating.
A lovely and comforting addition to a charming series. (Picture book. 2-5)

Often an accused person believes that the outcome of his or her case is unfair or unjust. In such a case, after having been convicted at trial or having pled guilty, that person has the right to appeal. Typically, the appeal process begins by filing a post-sentence motion. Thereafter, an appeal may be taken with a higher court. In Pennsylvania, the next stage of appeal goes to the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court thereafter. The right to appeal also exists beyond the Courts of Pennsylvania. An accused person may also seek relief in federal court.
The filing of a criminal appeal requires knowledge of complex constitutional rights, procedural rules and statutory law. Miller Lyden attorneys have over 25 years combined experience handling criminal appeals. In fact, Christopher P. Lyden, Esquire has twice appeared before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for oral argument and has knowledge and experience handling federal appeals.
Strict deadlines for filing appeals often apply. Contact our office as soon as possible to allow us the best opportunity to assist you.

So guess what -!!TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!! As unfortunate as it is, my 18th birthday had come crashing into the first week back to school - however despite my lack of sleep and renewed stress levels, I'm determined to enjoy every second! Last weekend my parents kindly organised a party for me to celebrate with family and friends - which I let them take over, as I tend to be unorganised when it comes to arranging events. It was a lovely opportunity to have a toast and say 'hell yes, we've made it though the first step, here's to the rest'!
As I was so wrapped up with dancing the evening away, with party classics including: Barbie Girl and Cha Cha Slide (you get the picture) I didn't get chance to take many photos to show you. Instead I thought I'd post a special 'What I Wore' post, as I just loved my outfit that evening oh and a few snaps with my sister and friends before hand too :)
Until then... See you soon

New Year, New Tactics—How Salesforce '15 Can Drive Sales
It's January, the season of fresh starts. While some resolutions seem made to be broken, your commitment to Salesforce is an easy one to keep. Here are some of the ways that Salesforce is ramping up to make 2015 your most successful year yet.
Sales Cloud
Built on the Salesforce Platform, Sales Cloud is the world's #1 sales app. It's easy to see why. By tracking all your customer information and interactions in one localized place, you can quickly find experts to push deals along, and close more of them, faster. It's easy to get more leads and nurture them until they're sales-ready, then send them along to the right people.
Salesforce tracks your marketing effectiveness and ensures quality leads every time. All of it is re-imagined for a mobile platform—making it simple, seamless and pleasurable to do what you do wherever you need to do it. Sales Cloud is now available with built-in data and performance tools to make every single sales rep a top-notch player.
Find new customers faster, accelerate sales productivity, and gain insight about who your customers are with data.com.
You can target new accounts by region or industry and access new prospects in a few simple clicks. Data starts clean and stays clean, which means that your sales reps can spend more time selling and less time searching.
New insights are cropping up all the time, and you can sell from anywhere.
2015's starting to look a whole lot easier.
Predictive Analytics
Make use of the Big Data in your organization. Adding predictive intelligence to deliver personalized recommendations to your email function can have major effects on email revenue.
The sweet spots? Transactional, cart abandonment and browse abandonment emails.
Design that Puts You Ahead
Salesforce '15 is more committed to mobile-friendly design then ever. More sophisticated responsive design is favored by more than 2-to-1 by mobile-friendly marketers.
Thanks to help from email service providers, responsive design is getting much easier to effectively implement. As consumers are only responding more and more negatively to desktop-centric emails that they open on mobile devices, the urgency for responsive design continues to grow.
Sometimes, the subject line is all you'll glance at. If well-written, that line can still deliver vital information.
Embedding a hashtag in the subject line itself is a great way to drive action, and signals that the email has a social component. It can be an impetus for further engagement right off the bat.
Small-Business Focus
With Salesforce for Small Business, you'll be able to grow your business faster and with less capital. Close more deals on the move with our mobile CRM software, understand your customers like never before, and help them help themselves.
That leaves your employees free to do what they do best—make sales. Specially tailored to your small-business needs, Salesforce could be just what you need to make 2015 explode with possibility.
For more information on how Salesforce's leading software can help your company this year and every year, contact Ceterna, a certified Salesforce partner, today.

I chose you. I wanted you. I appointed you. I set you where you are."-John 15:16
Having just recently spent eight days sukkoting (soo'KOH T) and celebrating the Feast of Booths (Leviticus 23:33-44) with my church family, I looked around during one of our worship services and saw a beautiful visual picture of just what a sense of community, of family looks like.
When you are around people for that many days, you tend to see everyone's personalities and preferences, their default tendencies and their growth and change. An easy way to describe it…we are all just a bunch of puzzle pieces, which the same can also be said about life in general. Some of us are the multi-faceted inner pieces, able to connect and adapt to the ones around us. Some of us are edge pieces-a little guarded with only a little of ourselves open to others. A few of us are the corner pieces-strong, dependable, and necessary to hold us all together. And some of us may seem a mirror image of someone else, making it difficult to find our place.
But as we all know, no two pieces/people are the same. Our shapes, colors, and backgrounds are all slightly different, but somehow….we all fit, we all work and we all join together to form something beautiful and lovely. Something that only God could have designed, placing each piece just where it needs to be.
God wants His people to be one(echad), in unity worshiping and praising Him together as He has commanded us to do. So I encourage all of you to find a community of Believers, find your place…your purpose and grow in it. Remember, just like puzzle pieces, every piece, no matter its design, is important. You are a necessary part of God's bigger picture. Your unique background and design provides a witness to God's power and glory, to His grace and forgiveness…and it's a beautiful sight.
"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity."-Psalm 133:1

From spent oil barrels to discarded law school text books, there are many seemingly impossible to upcycle objects out there that have been given a new lease on life as functional, attractive home furnishings. Generally, hulking, power-guzzling refrigerators — with the exception of this unusual seating arrangement — aren't one of them.
Just don't tell that to the crew over at Y-town, an esteemed, eco-minded design firm in Shanghai whose designers have worked brilliantly with junked Frigidaires in the past.
Most recently, the Y-town team's upcycled home appliance prowess took a turn for the heartwarmingly cute when one of the designers transformed an old Bosch refrigerator turned on its side into a spacious shelter for an adorable stray pup named Chuichui. Chuichui's new digs come with a carpeted entrance/exit ramp, a slanted roof, and distinct living areas including a roomy "bedroom" that the Y-town designers outfitted with a plush pooch cushion.
Pet owners: Have you ever crafted an eye-catching upcycled abode in the same vein as chez Chuichui for your dog or kitty?

Until my massive 6000 page travel epic is posted I would like to ask you this: Why are we spending trillions of dollars to fight terror in other countries when the most offensive terrorist is right here in our midst?
That's right. It's the "Grand" Canyon. Every year the "Grand" Canyon is responsible for over 3,000 civilian deaths. It's time to fill it in. We have a lot of trash and a really big hole in the ground. I can't think of a more clear cut case of symbiosis. Not only do people fall in, it reaches into people's homes at night and sucks them in like the massive vortex it is. Knowing the "Grand" Canyon exists, I cannot fear terrorism, the weird nuke wielding guy in North Korea, swine flu or anything else.
Fill it in. Please.

The Grand Canyon Is My Enemy

Better watch it, Andersen. With the world the way it is these days, I wouldn't be surprised if someday, someone thinks this would be a great idea!
- June 23, 2009 at 2:55 PM
If I show up and throw some trash into the Canyon, do I have to go and pick it up? Or do I just go to jail?

Christina- I hope someone thinks it's a great idea.
Mike- Jail is a small price to pay for martyrdom.

Whenever I read a post like this I always imagine some future civilization digging it up off of some junked hard drive and drawing serious conclusions about the way we thought about our world.

It would be even better if they found that junked hard drive buried in the "Grand" Canyon.

It's official. I'm in The Club. There's no secret Club handshake or T-shirt with the Club logo. I don't pay dues or attend quarterly meetings. The Club is just there like my eyebrows, gravity or lilac blooms in the springtime. The Club just is. Membership wasn't something I applied for or even aspired to, but once you're in, there's no getting out. Not any way I can see. The Club is forever or at least until your actions remove you from The Club and bring others in. I guess that would be one way to describe it. Memorial Day. The holiday used to be another three-day weekend for me. It meant an extra (happy) day off to picnic in the park or read a book in the backyard. Memorial Day didn't arrive with any connotations before I learned the realities of losing someone close to me.
In life BC (Before Club) I lacked insight regarding a Club member's perspective. In fact, just being around a Club member made me uncomfortable. I wasn't sure what to do or say. Now I am full of perspective. As a non-Clubber, you might be afraid to bring up certain subjects because they may trigger "sad thoughts." Not to worry. Anything and everything can produce that result. Thoughts surrounding The Club hover around the fringes of my brain 24-7. They are like little bits of sand creeping in to find a spot wherever they can. Even if my mind is consumed with large and important ideas, those little bits of sand filter their way through. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing (or the right thing) or reminding those in The Club they are members. They already know.
Certain days Memorial Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays can be more difficult than others. When alone, in the quiet, we find our thoughts drifting; when in a loud and boisterous crowd, we find our thoughts drifting. Sometimes I feel heaviness behind my eyes and tightness in my throat. I've learned to talk through it most of the time, but I've seen others wince when I do; then I know they know. Blinking fast and swallowing hard works sometimes. So does a deep breath.
Club members like me may not even be aware our reaction to the normal things and people around us is off by a degree or two. The change in us is slight, but can be unsettling for you and for me. I apologize. It's all part of The Club the one we never signed up for but joined nonetheless. Sadness is a funny thing. (How's that for an oxymoron of a sentence?) Loss can be indescribable. It can also result in moments of clarity. For me, membership in The Club has brought a newfound connection with those around me I am more vividly aware of life because I've dealt so closely with death. I enter each day with gratitude for family and friends.
This year, Memorial Day arrives like a heavy sigh brought on by love and loss. These two words in essence define The Club. To love someone means risking loss, which leads directly to a lifetime membership and the pain that accompanies it. To never take the risk means something much worse. I'm in The Club. I guess I'm okay with that.

Zeppoli are light deep fried dough balls, tossed in cinnamon sugar. This fried dessert is an authentic international dessert with many different names and recipes. These tasty treats are
often found at carnivals and festivals. Zeppoli can be sweetened with zest of orange or lemon.
The orange zest seems to add a burst of flavor. When biting into these treats the center melts in your mouth while the outer shell is crunchy. It's so light, crispy, and sweet altogether this brings happiness. Sometimes served with sprinkled powdered sugar instead of cinnamon and sugar or even drizzled with honey. Serve warm with a sweet glass of red or white wine.
1 cup flour
8 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 teaspoon orange zest
4 eggs
olive oil for frying
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside. In a medium saucepan on medium high heat add butter,
3 tablespoons sugar, salt and water bring to boil. Remove from heat and add flour all at once and stir with wooden spoon till it forms a ball. Place in mixer wait 1 minute for dough to cool then add 1 egg at a time, add zest and combine, until smooth. Heat 2 inches of olive oil in small saucepan till temperature is 375 degrees. Using two teaspoons try to form a ball and carefully drop dough into oil, fry 3 at a time. Turn zeppoli and maintain temperature and fry for 3-4 minutes so the inside will cook. Put on towels and then mix in bowl of cinnamon sugar.

Jonathan99017 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 78 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Hopkins & Rhodes LLC
Hopkins & Rhodes is an international financial services firm.
This contest is guaranteed.
Hopkins & Rhodes LLC, an investment firm, is looking for a new logo that instills the qualities of trust, growth and class. The company slogan is "Gateway to Growth". The logo should incorporate the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of the Greek Titan Helios, erected in the port on the Greek island of Rhodes between 292 and 280 BC. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Colossus stood at the entrance to the port of the city and is therefore often depicted with a boat going by. A description of the Colossus is on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_of_Rhodes).
To ensure that the logo does not look like the Statue of Liberty (in New York), please take note of the following recommendations:
• No need for a crown / sun headdress
• If a torch is included, should not be raised in right hand straight into the air like the Statue of Liberty
Inspirations and links to images of the Colossus that may help:
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:C…rclay).jpg
2) Picture1: http://imprint.printmag.com/daily-h…-and-gals/
3) http://www.cycladia.com/blog/cultur…-of-rhodes
4) http://miguelcoimbra.deviantart.com…-187774152
Ideas from the staff of Hopkins & Rhodes, which are directional only, include:
1) Including a boat at the feet of the statue
2) Enclosing the statue in a circle / half circle as appears in some of the artwork (the wall of the port)
Color Scheme:
• Not set, but prefer one and two color schemes
• Muted themes – possibly Autumnal

Irish SSPX District says faithful should not attend 'Motu Proprio Masses'
This is from this month's newsletter (p. 6) of the SSPX in Ireland:
Motu Proprio Masses: One thing is to encourage priests to celebrate the true Mass, but it is another thing to encourage our faithful to attend such Masses. The reason being that in addition to the Traditional Liturgy, sound doctrine is also required, and this latter is called into question when a priest, albeit in good faith, accepts the doctrinal rectitude of the NOM in theory or in practice.
This development certainly does not augur well for the reconciliation process between the Vatican and the SSPX. While I love traditional liturgy, identifying the 'true Mass' so narrowly with the 1962 Roman Missal does seem suspicious, to say the least. (What would eastern Catholics make of that?) As for priests "accepting the doctrinal rectitude of the NOM", I am no theologian but I do not see how it is possible for a Catholic to take any other view without repudiating (at least implicitly) the indefectibility of the Church. Is it even possible for the Church to promulgate heretical liturgical rites? And advising the faithful on which Masses they should and should not attend does seem needlessly paternalistic, and indeed offensive. Does Fr Paul Morgan genuinely fear ordinary Catholics will be corrupted by those dangerous modernist heretics like…errr…Fr Gerard Deighan or Fr Gabriel Burke?

Good afternoon,
This comes as no surprise to me. I am a South African, a traditional Catholic who attends SSPX Masses – it was through the SSPX that I "discovered" the Tridentine Mass in the late 1990's, and I remained a fervent supporter of the SSPX until a few years ago, when my misgivings increased to the point that my support for the SSPX has changed to a very qualified sympathy.
However, until recently ONLY the SSPX (and two affiliated priests) offered the Traditional Mass in this country. There was an "Indult" Mass in Cape Town 1985-1991 and at one stage an elderly Redemptorist offering the TLM privately also in Cape Town, since deceased. Since 2009, in my home city, two local priests have begun offering the TLM when they can – one of them on Sundays, but on a very low-key basis.
My city is visited by the SSPX twice per month – so we have no Mass two or three Sundays per month. Of course, the SSPX tells its people to boycott the Novus Ordo completely – but more than that, it now tells us to boycott non-SSPX motu proprio TLM's too, even if it means doing without Sunday Mass.
My family – and several others – pay no attention. Sadly, a good number of the SSPX chapel congregation follow the SSPX "rule" and repair to the chapel for rosary rather than darken the door of the "motu proprio" TLM.
I can give other examples of the schismatic mentality, but for the present, this suffices.
They are in real need of prayers….
God bless
The Indult Mass is celebrated by a Novus Ordo priest who's intention of offering the Mass is doubtful, therefore the validity of the Mass is doubtful. The right intention of the priest is required of the priest by the Church for valid sacraments.
Besides, the sermon, though not a part of the Mass, is important. We don't want our children to get unwittingly seduced or influenced by a liberal sermon.
The Indult mass is offered by priests who accept the Novus Ordo Mass as the Ordinary form, which is a compromise and untrue. The Novus ordo Mass is valid, but the ritual expresses a Protestant Faith in the Mass and therefore ill-legitimate. It does not help the cause of the Social Kingship of Christ. One must not only be worried of personal spiritual welfare, but also on the welfare of the society as a whole.
I would hesitate to call it an "official" policy of the SSPX. It is hard to pin-point what the SSPX policy would be – as it could easily be argued that their policies on this kind of question as set out in their literature, are simply the views of the priests who authored, or who authorised, the literature in question. There certainly is a spectrum of opinion on these and other questions – one of our local SSPX priests took a rather more friendly and tolerant view of non-SSPC TLM's, but expressed his views very cautiously.
However, I can say this:
1. Other events here led to a "conference" at which the SSPX District Superior spoke, and at which this "policy" was made to seem as the official standpoint of the SSPX, at least in this part of the world. The same views have been expressed by individual SSPX priests to whom I have spoken.
2. I wrote to Bishop Fellay on the question; his reply was evasive, and urged me to be aware of the doctrinal complexities of the modern crisis in the Church, and to be guided by the advice of the local SSPX priests.
3. The "policy" seems to be in accordance with what was emphatically stated as the SSPX position by former SSPX superior in the US, Fr Peter Scott, both in his time as US superior in regard to then-Indult Masses, and since, in his Question & Answer column in The Angelus – the flagship English language SSPX periodical.
I was a Novus Ordo orphan until I went to Saint Kevin's, Harrington Street back in November 2007, for what I thought would be one Sunday only. That's not what happened. I tell anybody who will listen that discovering the Latin Mass is the biggest blessing a Catholic can receive in these times.
Those of us who have discovered the Mass of All Time owe a great deal to all the clergy and laity, whether in the Society of Saint Pius X or not, who guarded the pearl of great price in the catacombs for the rest of us.
I've heard a lot of sermons in St Kevin's since that Sunday and will bet the farm that there is never anything but very sound doctrine preached from the pulpit there. Anyone who attends Mass at St. Kevin's will tell you the exact same. If only Catholics in every town in Ireland could hear such preaching.
Really, every battalion in the fight forTradition needs to training their fire on the enemy.
Shane, don't forget that Fr. Deighan is very ably assisted by Father Nevin and Father Richardson.
I must confess to a large degree of ambivalence to the SSPX and to the societies it has spawned and which are now in full communion. On the one hand they have preserved the EF and by setting up such a strong pole, have dragged the OF back from some of the lunacies we used to see. On the other, theirs is an ecclesiology rooted in the time of Pius XII – and Abp Lefebvre in 1960 was not saying that there was no need for a Council.
Ironically, the SSPX is much like the rest of the JPII new movements: decidely out of kilter with the centre, but one of the reasons that a large number of Catholics have stayed, however strangely, Catholic, and producing children and vocations as well.
Archbishop Lefebvre's book, An Open Letter to Confused Catholics is very well worth reading. In chapter 14 he deals with his initial role in the Council.
"To begin with, I can say that in 1962 I was not opposed to the holding of a General Council. On the contrary, I welcomed it with great hopes…I was nominated a member of the Central Preparatory Commission by the Pope and took an assiduous and enthusiastic part in its two years of work…In them(the preparatory schemas) the Church's doctrine is absolutely orthodox."
Tragically for the Church, events took a turn very much for the worst.
As the Archbishop describes, "from the very first days, the Council was besieged by the progressive forces…We had the impression that something abnormal was happening and this impression was rapidly confirmed; fifteen days after the opening session not one of the seventy two schemes remained. All had been sent back, rejected, thrown into the wastepaper basket."
As has been well documented, a very well organized group, headed by Cardinals from the Rhineland countries orchestrated the introduction of schemas radically different from the originals. We are still living with the consequences.
Later on Archbishop Lefebvre expressed the following opinion:
"We would have had a splendid council by taking Pope Pius XII for our master on the subject. I do not think there is any problem of the modern world and of current affairs that he did not resolve, with all his knowledge, his theology and his holiness. He gave almost definitive solutions, having truly seen things in the light of faith…
"Vatican II therefore is not a Council like others and that is why we have the right to judge it, with prudence and reserve. I accept in this Council and in the reforms all that is in full accordance with Tradition. The Society I have founded is ample proof…
"But it is impossible to maintain it is only the later applications of the Council that are at fault. The rebellion of the clergy, the defiance of pontifical authority, all the excesses in the liturgy and the new theology, and the desertion of the churches, have they nothing to do with the Council, as some have recently asserted? Let us be honest: they are its fruits!"
What would the Church have been saved from if the Archbishop's proposal on 23 January 1962 had been implemented? He suggested that the Council should prepare two sets of documents, one made up of canons condemning the errors of the day and the second set of documents comprising a work that would constitute "a synthesis of the whole Catholic Faith, while dispelling in passing the principal errors of the times such as Teilhardism, naturalism, materialism, etc., but presented in a positive fashion."
I wouldn't say that their ecclesiology is rooted in the time of Pius XII. They seem to me to go back much further – to the most extreme forms of nineteenth-century ultramontanism, to Veuillot and de Maistre.
Shane, firstly thanks for your comment on my blog.
As for SSPX – I think we're approaching the end of the road on this one and it's almost time for the Holy Father to declare a formal schism and for the Catholic faithful to stop attending their Masses. At that point Catholics who like the extraordinary form need to accept that ordinary form in a Catholic Church is preferable to extraordinary form in a schismatic church.
One expects the SSPX to adhere to basics. So where has "ubi Petrus ibi ecclesia" gone with them? This line of thinking is a real pharisee approach. Stand at the top of the synagogue and repeat: "O Lord, I thank thee that I am not like them, a sinner".
I am praying that SSPX doesn't end up in schism … but I don't think they are helping themselves with statements like this (although I accept that this may be the opinion of an individual priest … but when things are at such a delicate stage keeping a tight rein on all public statements is surely advisable?)
I am always concerned when people speak about avoiding 'those Masses' – whichever they may be – or the extreme that James noted about it being better not to go to Mass at all on a Sunday rather than one of 'those Masses'.
Once Mass is celebrated with proper Matter and Form it is a valid Mass – no more or less efficacious than any other validly celebrated Mass. The 'accidents' of the Mass may be different, at variance with the rubrics, banal or even appallingly secular – but if the essentials are observed it is THE MASS. I may not be inspired or spiritually refreshed by the 'accidents', but I am there to honor God – not for personal satisfaction. And God can work through the most unworthy instruments.
Liceity is another matter, particularly as regards the SSPX.
"True Mass" refers to any liturgical rite that sufficiently presents and preserves the Catholic Faith – which the New Mass does not. Thus the Eastern Rite Divine Liturgies (and other traditional Latin Rite forms) all fall under this category used to differentiate from the theologically-deficient and illegitimate Novus Ordo Missae (cf. "The Ottaviani Intervention" for details).
There has been a lot of controversy about this particular letter that you quote. Michael Davies addresses it in his really excellent book entitled Pope Paul's New Mass, in the chapter devoted to the Ottaviani Intervention.
On the above letter to Dom Lafond, Davies says: "in this letter the Cardinal (Ottaviani) is purported to state that he has read the Note Doctrinale (a defence of the Novus Ordo Missae, written principally by Lafond), which contains scandalous calumnies concerning himself, that he not only approves it but congratulates Dom Lafond on the dignity of its expression; that he did not authorize the publication of his letter to the Pope; and that all his anxieties have been set at rest by two papal allocutions."
He notes that French intellectual and traditionalist Jean Madiran dealt with the matter in detail in his journal Itineraires no 142 of April 1970. Madiran had some very harsh words for
Dom Lafond.
Davies makes the point that Cardinal Ottaviani was almost blind and the time and tells us that "Madiran had no hesitation in claiming that Monsignor Agustoni (the Cardinal's secretary) had tricked the Cardinal into signing and accused him of a public felony- challenging Monsignor Agustoni in the ecclesiastical courts if he disputed it. Monsignor Agustoni did not accept the challenge and soon after relinquished his position as Cardinal Ottaviani's secretary."
On the contents of the letter itself, Davies has quoted Madiran as having received personal assurance from the Cardinal that he had authorized publication of his letter to Paul VI.
Davies himself makes some very telling points, including:
"No one has contested the fact that the Cardinal sent this letter to the Pope"(with accompanying critical study of the new Mass).
"There is not the least doubt that he gave a great deal of thought to the Critical Study before endorsing it."
"A point which the apologists for the new Mass invariably pass over in silence is the fact that no claim was ever made that Cardinal Bacci had written one word modifying or retracting anything in the letter. The apologists for the New Mass have acted as if the letter came from Cardinal Ottaviani alone and conveniently overlooked the fact that it was a joint letter. But Cardinal Bacci was not blind and could not be deceived into signing a letter of retraction."
And, even if the Cardinal had retracted his charges, "this would not affect the fact that he had signed it, nor the validity of the conclusions in the Critical Study upon which the letter (to the Pope) was based."
The letter sent by two Cardinals to Paul along with the critical study should be widely read. The letter states that "the Novus Ordo Missae- considering the new elements, susceptible of widely differing evaluations, which appear to be implied or taken for granted- represents, as a whole and in detail, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Holy Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent, which… erected an insurmountable barrier against any heresy which might attack the integrity of the Mystery.
"The innovations in the Novus Ordo Missae, and on the other hand the things of eternal value relegated to an inferior or different place (if indeed they are still to be found at all), could well turn into a certainty the suspicion…that truths which have always been believed by Christians can be altered or silenced without infidelity to that sacred deposit of doctrine to which the Catholic faith is bound forever. Recent reforms have amply shown that fresh changes in the liturgy could not but lead to utter bewilderment on the part of the faithful, who are already giving signs of restiveness and an indubitable lessening of the faith."
Why were these prophetic words not heeded?
Strange how I feel kind of isolated here.The SSPX say the Mass into which I was baptised, made my first Holy Communion, was Confirmed and which I served as an altar boy and who hold tenaciously to the Catholic Faith as it was taught for millenia, are being charged as schismatics.Meanwhile, here in Ireland we have a group of hippy dressed Catholic Priests who dissent against the traditions and teachings of the Church,and who are of course, in good standing with the church.Similarly, in Austria, another group of priests in open rebellion against Church teachings and we have a Cardinal in Italy who supports gay relationships.
Should not the question be when are these rebel groups going to be asked to sign a Preamble affirming fidelity to Dogma,Doctrine and tradition of the Catholic Church?
That's a fair point about Cardinal Ottaviani, Shane. I always assumed he would not have celebrated the New Mass. I wonder if Cardinal Bacci did so too? Also, I think it is correct to say that there were plenty of other orthodox Churchmen who went along with the Novus Ordo. There may have been much soul searching and crises of conscience. Who knows?
I wonder though what their attitude would be today. I think we would all agree that the views and actions of the great man are not the only guiding light in this matter. There have been other forensic and convincing critiques of the New Mass.
Any Catholic who cares to look can see the devastation wrought in the last 42 years? It's far from a pleasant view, the rotten fruits on which to base an incontestable judgement – lack of believe in the Real Presence, lack of belief in the Mass as a propitiatory Sacrifice, lack of understanding of the unique, irreplaceable role of the ordained priesthood, deficiencies found sadly amongst many clergy as well as laity. In other words, Protestantisation of Catholics. What happened to Lex orandi, Lex credendi? What will it take for the Church to decide on a recall of the Bugnini Mass?
To be fair to Father Morgan, Archbishop Lefebvre did also advise the faithful not to go to what were then known as Indult Masses, and gave his reasons for doing so. As everyone who is interested knows, the present difficulties between Rome and the Society very much involve doctrine, as well as the availability of the Latin Mass.
On the other side, the point has been made earlier that there are good shepherds outside of the SSPX, priests who haven't always had an easy life in the Church. It's hardly tenable to maintain that a priest such as Father Michael Rodriguez, who was banished to the deserts of West Texas by his bishop, is anything but a great priest. The clergy who say the Latin Mass, including those of the Society, represent the best or indeed the only hope for the Church.
Shane, your original post underlines just how difficult and complex this situation is. Rosaries are needed.
And for what it's worth, this very ordinary layman believes the SSPX are part of the small minority in the Church who have resisted the revolution, were treated to insults and calumny, and were chased into the hills for their troubles. The modernists are the only ones who really want to keep them there permanently.
I agree completely with Dermot Finnegan. A week doesn't seem to go by without fresh evidence of the diabolical disorientation in the Church. It just goes on and on. In June I fear we are going to get a scandalous example here when the upcoming Eucharistic Congress unfolds. There has barely been a whimper about the Ecumenical Liturgy of Word and Water, taking place on 11 June.
I'm no liturgist much less a theologian. I've come to believe the biggest issue with the Novus Ordo has to do less with the Missal itself than with the hermeneutic of rupture with which it has been and is celebrated in 99% of the world. Personally, I believe the Ordo Missae of 1965 fulfilled the Council fathers desires for a streamlined liturgical reform. I've come to believe that there was therefore no need for a Novus Ordo in 1969. I few years ago I read an excellent article by Father Parsons about synchronising the 2 calendars and unifying the two forms of the Roman Rite. I mean I think the 1965 Ordo Missae would suffice. The bigger problem as Bishop Schneider sees it (and I agree with his analysis) is that the clergy especially the upper level clergy are content with the liturgical rupture:
"For this reason we need new saints today, one or several Saint Catherines of Siena. We need the "vox populi fidelis" demanding the suppression of this liturgical rupture. The tragedy in all of this is that, today as back in the time of the Avignon exile, a great majority of the clergy, especially in its higher ranks, is content with this rupture."
The fact that Cardinal Siri had no scruple with using the Missal of Paul VI (however deficient it may be) is enough approval for me.
Shane I agree that no one is above criticism,however I would remind those who criticise the sspx that Archbishop Martin also celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass himself, and as for myself, I would not share Archbishop Martins view of the problems afflicting the Church and neither would I espouse his views of how to solve it.This is more likely in my view,of what Fr.Morgan intentions were.I am also aware that there are good and holy Priests who would celebrate the Traditional Mass here and would be mindful of Frs.Cahill, Deighan and would mention also Fr. O Reilly who celebrates Mass in Newry every Sunday.
My point is if I continued to go to the NO I would have lost the faith, and that is the reason that millions of Catholics over 50 years have!
We have no idea as to what a shambles the Church government really is in, my personal belief is that it is controlled by the Masons and simply tow the line……I believe that only the shedding of blood will change the situation
If Archbishop Lefebvre had not held on to the traditional Latin Mass, we would not have it today. There are none so blind as those who don't want to see the truth. The sspx did not break away from the one true faith handed down through the ages. Thank God for Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

Dead python found on Keewaydin Island
A couple tells us they found a dead Burmese python on Keewaydin Island just south of Naples over the weekend.
Lisa and Johnny PerMar were walking along their beach when the couple's Chihuahua, who they say is practically blind, spotted the large predator.
"I see him kind of sniffing at snuffing, and then I see a long object. I was looking from the tail end toward the head," Johnny said.
Luckily, the snake was not alive. Experts estimate the python at six feet long. That's smaller than most pythons, but Lisa said it's big enough.
"I was very concerned because I just thought for a split second my dog was going to be a goner," she said.
Once Rookery Bay heard about it, they told us they picked it up. Experts said it's the first snake of its size to be found in that area. It's not clear how the snake got there, but it's possible it swam, according to experts.
Rookery Bay will conduct research on the python to find out where exactly it came from.
We also spoke with FWC officials, who said they are interested in seeing the snake as well.
Wildlife officials ask anyone who sees a Burmese python to call the exotic species hotline at 1-888-483-4861.

Mississippi - The law: It is still legal to kill one's servant.
DN - No wonder Mississippi leads the nation in widows per 100,000 people. Think about it.
Missouri - In Saco, MO, it is against the law for women to wear hats that might frighten timid persons, children or animals.
DN - Hats, schmats. What if the broad is fugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road? That ought to be illegal. Hats come and go, but fugly is forever.
There you have it. An election day reminder that not all dumbasses live in Washington, D.C.So, America, get off your ass and go vote out a dumbass today. Your country depends on you.

Courtesy of Tufts Sports Information
MEDFORD, Mass. – The Tufts University women's lacrosse team defeated FDU-Florham, 17-8, in the first round of the NCAA Championship Saturday afternoon in Shadek Stadium at Franklin & Marshall for their first NCAA Tournament win since 2015.
The Jumbos (13-4) were led by four goals from Catherine Lawliss, four goals by Emily Games and three goals and one assist. Annie Sullivan also contributed three goals, while Caroline Nowak scored twice and assisted on two others. Other Jumbos to record at least a point include Clare Wright (two goals), Dakota Adamec (one goal, one assist), Kirsten Grazewski (one goal), Maddie Norman (one goal), and Courtney Grygiel (one assist). Hedy Veith caused a game-high four turnovers on defense. In goal, Audrey Evers recorded six saves.
The Devils (15-5) were led by Kathleen Petrucelli who scored three goals and recorded the team's only assist. The other goals were scored by Caroline Pape (two), Noelle Shirey, Caitlyn Damon, and Aliyha Elk. Megan Nemeth made 12 saves in net for FDU-Florham.
Six minutes into the game, the Jumbos held a 4-1 advantage after three goals from Sullivan and one from Games. The Devils answered back with three straight to tie the game at four. But the Jumbos would end the half on a 6-1 run with goals from Nowak, Adamec, Games, Norman, and two from Lawliss to take the 10-5 lead into halftime.
The scoring slowed in the second half, but the Jumbos were able to stay ahead. Petrucelli got the first goal of the half for FDU, but Tufts would score the next five over the course of 13 minutes to put the game away. Games and Lawliss added a couple more later in the half for good measure, as the Devils were never able to get within less than four.
Tufts won 17 draw controls to FDU's 10 and outshot them as well, 40-19.
The Jumbos will play again tomorrow in the second round of the NCAA Championship against Franklin & Marshall.

The Warriors of Darkness (闇の戦士, Yami no Senshi?, lit. Warrior of Darkness), Warriors of the Dark, are the dark counterparts to the Warriors of Light.
Final Fantasy IIIEdit
Just as the Warriors of Light had to defend their world from becoming engulfed by darkness, the Warriors of the Dark were forced to defend their own world from being swallowed by the light many years ago.
At the end of Final Fantasy III, the party has to find their dark counterparts so that they can aid them in their battle against the Cloud of Darkness. Each Warrior of the Dark appears after defeating each of the four bosses guarding the Dark Crystals in the World of Darkness: Cerberus, Echidna, Ahriman, and the Two Headed Dragon.
After each battle, one of the Warriors of the Dark tells the Warriors of the Light important information for the upcoming battle with the Cloud of Darkness. Before the final battle, the Warriors of the Dark sacrifice themselves so that the Warriors of the Light can save their own world.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit
The Warrior of Darkness is seen briefly at the epilogue of Heavensward after King Thordan has fallen, being sent by Elidibus to stop the Warrior of Light to restore the balance of Light and Dark. He shares his appearance with the Midlander Hyur poster boy.
The Warriors of Darkness officially appear in Patch 3.1, defeating Ravana at the Smoldering Wastes. They then turn their attentions to the Scions and the Warrior of Light, but are interrupted by a familiar Hyur, and flee after revealing who they are and warning that they will meet again.
The Warrior appears with Elidibus speaking with Urianger at the Great Gubal Library, later sensing that someone may be evesdropping.
Final Fantasy DimensionsEdit
Four of the eight main characters of the game are the Warriors of Darkness: Nacht, Diana, Glaive, and Alba.
At the beginning of their adventure, the Warriors of Darkness are chosen by the Crystal of Lux, and are blessed with its power. During their journey, they find five crystal shards which bless them with the Ranger, Dark Knight, Dancer, Ninja, and Magus Jobs.

|"The Art of 'The Last of Us'" by Naughty Dog Studios and Rachel Edidin. Haunting, beautiful, essential.
Imagine being in a meeting on day one and being told "Your next task is to come up with Naughty Dog's next successful franchise."
No mean feat for any developer, but one with the pedigree of Naughty Dog? The developers behind the massively successful Jak and Daxter and Uncharted series?
When I first heard about "The Last of Us" I was so burned out on zombies and zombie-based games that I barely paid any attention to it at all. But as those first beautiful pieces of concept art were leaked to the press, and the first game trailer came along I started to pay a lot more attention.
|The Last Of Us does ruined civilisation better than any other game you'll see in the current console generation.
|Early expressions and concepts for Joel, one of the game's main characters
The stunning dystopian urban landscapes, shattered by years of neglect and slowly melting away and succumbing to nature are some of the game's real 'wow' moments.
|No Through Road!
Broken into sections that describe how the game unfolds, the book offers tantalising glimpses into what might have been. For instance, imagine the game with a female protagonist instead of Joel. Imagine Ellie as a wispy blonde girl rather than the gutsy dark haired teen we now know.
There's also artwork from the limited edition comic that served as a prequel to the game, and though the art style is radically different, it's still interesting to read about things that pop up in the game as backstory.
Most game-art books are fairly light on content and ridiculously expensive for what they offer. "The Art of 'The Last of Us'" is packed to the gunnels with brilliant and beautiful illustrations, so if you've played through the game so many times you could so blindfolded (yep, that'd be me), dive into the book to reveal even more of Joel and Ellie's world. An essential purchase not just for fans of the game but for folk who want to delve into the processes and evolution behind games and game characters.
|Probably my favourite illustration in the book. Brilliant!

We know them, and we love them. They're there for everything, from comic relief to life-saving feats of bravery. They're the sidekicks. Do they get the credit they're due? Probably not, but we love them anyway.
Here at The Reading Addict, I'll be shining a weekly spotlight on secondary characters I love (like Ron Weasley, obviously).
Origin: The Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan
Quirky Traits Include: Satyr, protector of demigods, fan of eating metal cans and other objects
Why I Love Him: After bringing Percy Jackson into the world of Greek mythology come to life, Grover sticks by his side and accompanies him on his daring adventures. He's hilarious, and despite his sweet nature, he's a great companion on Percy's quest to save the world.
A Quote from Grover: "Percy... the gods really don't appreciate people sitting in their thrones. I mean like turn-you-into-a-pile-of-ashes don't appreciate it."

ENCINITAS — There is no fire season when it comes to house fires.
Each year, the Encinitas Fire Department responds to numerous residential fire calls.
Not every call turns out to be a house fire, explained Darrin Ward, deputy chief of operations for the fire department. But since the beginning of this year, firefighters have responded to a dozen of those calls, which turned out to be the real thing.
Encinitas Deputy Fire Chief Mike Daigle said that one of the things that still surprises and disappoints firefighters is when they come to a call and the smoke alarms either aren't installed or there's no battery in them, or they're not working in some way. "And that's one of the reasons we do these prevention things," he said.
Daigle is referring to fire prevention week, which began Oct. 7 and will conclude Oct. 13 with an open house at Encinitas' Fire Station No. 5. Fire prevention week is an annual education program developed by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), a nonprofit that works to improve fire safety and prevention.
Since 1922 fire prevention week has been an annual event, keying in on a specific theme to help educate the public.
This year's theme is, "Have Two Ways Out," which invites families to develop and know the two escape routes should a fire break out in the home.
"It's always about education," said Senior Deputy Fire Marshall Anita Pupping. "Whether it be children or adults it doesn't matter. I think we always have to remind ourselves to test our smoke detectors."
Daigle said it seemed like fires started a lot of the time for the same reason. "It's the reason any fire starts," he said. "It's just the human factor," but he added that a lot of fires can be started from electrical problems.
Some of the other leading causes of home fires come from unattended cooking, heating equipment, smoking and candles, according to the NFPA.
"It's a cliché, they say smoke alarms save lives, but they really do," Daigle said. "But it surprises me the number of times we go on scene and like I say, they're either removed or they're not there at all or they're there and there's no battery in them," he said.
"That's one of things that I remember more than once, I've seen melted smoke alarms and no battery in them, and so you know it's been hot in there and you wonder…how it came to be that way and how different things would have turned out if it had actually worked."
With station tours being offered for the fire prevention week event, parents and kids have a chance to fully explore the fire engines and fire house; kids are able to try on some of the firefighting gear.
Part of that experience of touring the station and trying on the gear is kids becoming familiar with the firefighters.
"We don't want children hiding in closets…if firefighters respond," Pupping said. "We want them to be familiar with that sound," she said.
A lot of what Pupping hears while she's on educational tours is that the kids get scared of the sounds and they plug their ears and hide. Pupping said that that is the reason for the fire drills, to allow kids to get used to the sounds.
"I think that's key, not to be afraid…of the firefighters," she said.
Fire Prevention Week Open House
Where: Fire Station No. 5, 540 Balour Drive, Encinitas
When: Oct. 13, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Meet the all-new MX5-GT, a featherweight race car with which Mazda will participate in the Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship 2011 taking on Aston Martin, Porsche, Lotus, and BMW. It may seem like a difficult task but Mazda, in cooperation with Jota Sport, the race engineering team that will run the cars in the 2011 series, have a few tricks under their sleeves.
For starters, the GT is claimed to be the lightest and most powerful MX-5 ever built. Jota Sport took some 400 hours to build the car's shell to a specification that ensured it was 17 times stronger than required by the FIA. Weight-saving measures include the removal of interior parts, reducing component weight and dipping the shell in acid to shave 15kg. The end result is a total weight of just 850kg or 1,873 lbs.
The MX-5 GT is powered by Mazda's 2.0-liter engine modified to produce 275bhp. The four-cylinder unit is linked to a six-speed sequential paddle shift gearbox and according to the Japanese company, it can accelerate the car from zero to 60mph (96km/h) in just 3.0 seconds while offering a top speed of 160mph (257km/h).
Other mechanical upgrades include the modified suspension, competition alloy wheels and tires, and performance braking system.
On the outside, the MX-5 GT features a Spirited Green metallic body color complimented by Jota Sport's corporate liveries in orange and grey. Open up the carbon fiber doors and you are welcomed by a stripped out interior featuring a roll cage, a fire extinguisher, competition steering wheel and a racing bucket seat.
"The MX-5 production race car's modest power output, bullet proof reliability and nimble handling demonstrated last year how the MX-5 can be competitive against some of the purpose-built Lotus, VW and BMW race cars," said Graeme Fudge, PR Director, Mazda UK.
"With a higher power output combined with the durability, reliability and handling attributes that the MX-5 is renowned for; the MX-5 GT race car will be strong contender against the more powerful race cars in its class," he concluded.
