I am a BLACK SHEEP in my CATHOLIC RELIGION

I was born and raised Roman Catholic by my Italian family whose faith was never rocked.As I grew older my faith in God and his teachings were my foundation which kept me strong thru all the ups and downs.My grandmother and uncle,who raised me were elderly,so many Sundys we watched Sunday Mass for shut ins on TV.I actualy used to make a 'pulpit' and pretend to be the priest and word for word recant the mass.Even thru our love of God my grandmother always made sure that I knew the preists were 'men who spoke the word of God'and 'Not God'.I continued to go to church weekly for decades.That was up to 2 1/2 years ago.I made a desision,due to the sex scandals,secrets,sins,bancruptcies,sex payouts and you know all the rest of the ugly stuff.Even though I loved my Priest Nowlan, I could no longer sit there every week wondering about him, ondering where all of our basket donations were going to.Could all these good hearted peoples hard earned money be going to payoffs?I never saw that in church bulletin "Sex Scandal Payffs'.The whole country has churches going banckrupt,moraly and financialy! I pray everyday, love MyGod,Lord and Mother Mary and all the Saints and the Pope.But I keep my faith and relationship w/ God personal,not by going to church.I feel bad, but cant keep going knowing all the secrets and sins which they covered.A strange fact is..The New President of Bishops is Spokanes own Father Skilsted, who is up to his collar in sex scandal info and dealings.The inside word is he was propped up so he doesnt have to testify about all he knew about many,many sex acts by priests.They just moved the priests to different states,never telling church goers,police,etc.These are PEDIFILES.The police should have the ability to arrest,question and sentence them as they would any other citizen.But NO, the church is under control of another country,it may be thee smallest country,but the Vatican makes ALL the RULES.I am frustrasted,ashamed and confused as to HOW a MAN OF GOD could molest a child knowing what a horrific sin it is! I pray we get on this story now B4 more victims commit suicide and all our churches are bancrupt.I still hold firm my faith and love of God,but I have to get the news out.Please read the following story that sheds light on this sick situation. =^.^= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "RELUCTANT MUCKRACKER' PROBES CATHOLIC CHURCH Author Probes Dark Side of Catholic Church CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press NEW ORLEANS - The stories, and faces, of molested altar boys and abused seminarians seem to dart and flicker like lightning bugs on a summer's night on the broad face of Jason Berry - the reluctant muckraker who took on the Vatican and his own faith. It all started 20 years ago when Berry, a freelance journalist, became one of the first writers to yank the cloak off one of the Roman Catholic Church's darkest secrets: That there were pedophiles in the ranks of priests. But despite the awards, TV appearances, talks at universities, praise and accolades heaped on his work, Berry is a victim of his success, of his journalistic scoops. "I would have been just as happy never to have written a word about the Catholic church," he said in a recent interview at his New Orleans home, a tidy place filled with African and New Orleans art work and books. "And I think in some ways I might have been - I don't want to say happier, but maybe an easier person," he added, thoughtfully. He calls himself "a reluctant muckraker." Investigative journalism was not his first choice. "I am much more interested in the life of the mind," he said. And culture is his passion. He's written extensively on jazz and jazz funerals, the blues, Louisiana writers, the civil rights movement, Mardi Gras Indians and on New Orleans' spiritual life. He writes book reviews and essays on a regular basis. Also to his name is a drama, "Earl Long in Purgatory," about the maverick and erratic former Louisiana governor. And if that were not enough, Berry is turning his attention to making documentaries. But Berry cannot escape the faces of abused altar boys and seminarians, and the minds of sexual predators. It began 20 years ago, when he was 35, a time before the doubt and stories of abuse, a time when Berry was an unquestioning Catholic. An unusual story bubbled up in the backwaters of Cajun country. A village pastor, Father Gilbert Gauthe, was accused of molesting a string of boys at his rectory and on overnight trips to the quiet Louisiana marsh. Berry got on the phone and thought he had a killer story. But his proposals got turned down by such news outlets as The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Nation, Mother Jones and even the local newspaper, The Daily Advertiser of Lafayette. Finally, he turned to the editor at The Times of Acadiana, a small Lafayette weekly, who ran his stories. "Once I stumbled on this material in the '80s, in the beginning I was, I suppose, morbidly curious, but as I began to see the outlines of a truly vast cover-up, I kept wanting to understand it, I wanted to understand why it happened," Berry said. The same impulse for truth led Berry, as a boy, to ask his father about the shoe box full of photographs of cadavers he'd stumbled across stored away at his home. His father told him about Dachau and the extermination of Jews in World War II. He told his son about his war experiences as one of the first Americans to step into that concentration camp. And Berry's desire to understand Gauthe took him deep into a maze of lies and secrets. "I've had priests and nuns who've called me for years; survivors, attorneys, other journalists," he said. "Maybe that's why I listen to so much music, to not think about the secrets." After first hearing about Gauthe, Berry spent eight years studying pedophilia, church and court documents and conducting countless interviews. Finally, in 1992, he finished his work about the "Catholic Church's sexual Watergate." The book, "Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children," broke new ground, estimating that between 1984 and 1992 about 400 priests in North America were accused of molesting children. Today, studies estimate that since 1950 about 4 percent of American clerics - 4,392 of them - have been accused of abuse. And only 2 percent of abusers went to prison, according to a recent church report. "'Lead Us Not Into Temptation' was the first hole in the dike, so to speak," said David Clohessy, who runs the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "It showed that the problem was wide and deeper than a few bad apple priests. For those who read it, it was a myth-shattering, sobering revelation." Berry did not approach his subject matter as a detached reporter. As a Catholic himself, the story had personal meaning. "He would get very passionate about it. We had a lot of discussions about it," recalled Anthony Fontana, a lawyer who represented many of the children abused by Gauthe, who in 1985, pleaded guilty to molestation charges involving 11 boys. (In 1998, the Diocese of Lafayette disclosed that it paid at least $18 million to families of children molested by Gauthe.) "Jason was really important for all of us involved in these cases in the early stages. He had the same anger we had. He was able to communicate that to the public, and we got a much faster educational process. The public finally understood that these children were not telling lies, but that something very, very wrong was happening here." "For nearly a year I had journeyed through the dark channels of an institution whose decay became more appalling as I plunged deeper into the story," Berry wrote in his book. "What did it mean to be a loving critic of the church?" In an essay entitled "Morals of a Muckraker," Berry unearthed a "shadow-church that most Catholics rarely encounter, an ecclesiastical culture honeycombed with sexual secrecy, dripping lies and more lies." Because of his discovery, his "faith went into a free-fall" and he turned to French novelist, agnostic and political philosopher Albert Camus' notions of "resisting evil, in search for an ethos of personal responsibility," he wrote in that essay. At 55 and four books later, Berry has become one of the strongest voices advocating change in the church. This year, Berry and Gerald Renner, a former reporter with The Hartford Courant, published a book that goes after Pope John Paul II. They accuse the pope of ignoring the alleged sexual abuse of seminarians by Father Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, a growing ultra-traditional religious order. The charges have been denied. Maciel, whose two uncles were Mexican bishops, has long been in the "good graces" of the pope despite a series of allegations of systematically raping seminarians and abusing drugs, the authors claim in "Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II." The book is based on victims' stories. The book takes aim at the pope and church leaders for shuffling abusive priests from one diocese to another, for stonewalling and paying settlements to keep victims hushed. "I just keep thinking about the facade of dignity that bishops convey and what is behind that facade are these contorted rationalizations about lying to cover up sexual behavior," he said. "The problem in the church is structural mendacity, institutionalized lying. "I mean, you preach the sanctity of life in the womb and play musical chairs with men who molest children - that is a staggering double standard." Berry and other critics contend that the church's crisis, in part, stems from its unwillingness to let priests marry and women enter the priesthood. He also traces an increase in homosexuals within the clergy and its ramifications. Willam Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, one of Berry's most frequent critics, acknowledges Berry as a pioneer in his reportage, but takes issue with his conclusions and picture of the church as a dark, conspiratorial institution. "He constantly talks about the pedophilia problem in the Catholic church, but the problem is a homosexual problem," Donohue said. "It's a homosexual problem that Jason doesn't want to talk about because it would make him appear anti-homosexual." "There is a part of me that grieves for what I've learned, for the suffering," he said. "This is not a pleasant time to be a member of the church, and I think that's one reason why I insist on remaining one."

WORCESTER, Massachusetts (AP) -- A man was charged with stabbing two relatives after they allegedly criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner. Police said the fight broke out Thursday when Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, and his 18-year-old son, Gonzalo Jr., reprimanded Frank Palacious for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife. Palacious, 24, described by police only as an uncle, allegedly responded by stabbing them with a carving knife. He is charged with domestic assault and assault with intent to murder, Detective Sgt. Thomas R. Radula said. Police said Ocasio Jr. suffered stab wounds to the chest, back and right side. A nursing supervisor at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center said Friday she had no information on his condition. His father was treated for a stab wound in his arm. =^.^=

BLUE STATE BLUES Got ya DOWN,Baby?? Get OVER IT or GET OUT!!?

All you who are bluer than blue this past week since election, I have found alternative living arrangements for ya'll! Life is short, dont be all pissy and bitter.So check this out.Please pass along to Baldwin,Moore,Kerry and any other whiny anti-Americans =^.^= ~~~~Reasons cited 4 Making the Move to Canada,as cited by www.canadianalternative.com ! 1.Canada has UNIVERSAL public heath care 2.Canada has NO TROOPS in IRAQ 3.Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol environmental treaty 4.More than 1/2 of Canadas provinces allow same-sex marriages 5.The Canadian Senate RECOMMENDS legalization of marijuana(YIPPEE!) 6.Canada NO LAW restricts abortion 7. Canadas strict GUN LAWS & relatively little violence 8.The U.N. has ranked Canada the BEST COUNTRY to live in for 8 consecutive years (WHAT?LOL!) 9.Canada ABOLISHED DEATH PENALTY in 1976 (Note to Scott Peterson!) 10. Canada HAS NOT run a Federal deficit since 1996-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Canada offering refuge for Yanks with blue-state blues By GENE JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SEATTLE -- Got the blue-state blues? Rudi Kischer feels your pain. The Vancouver, British Columbia, immigration lawyer plans seminars in three U.S. cities - Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles - to tell Americans frustrated with President Bush's re-election that the grass is greener north of the border. And that's not just an allusion to Canada's lenient marijuana laws. "We started last year getting a lot of calls from Americans dissatisfied with the way the country is going," Kischer says. "Then after the election, it's been crazy up here. The Canadian immigration Web site had 115,000 hits the day after the election - from the U.S. alone. We usually only get 20,000 hits." There was so much interest that a Vancouver-based Internet company, Communicopia, set up a new Web site this month - www.canadianalternative.com - to suggest Canada as a viable option for its American clients, including anyone concerned about constitutional bans on gay marriage passed in 11 states this month. "We invite you to get to know Canada," the site says. "Explore the richness and diversity of our regions. And find out why Canada is the perfect alternative for conscientious, forward-thinking Americans." Another Web site urges Canadians: "Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American. Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years of cowboy conservatism." Canada suddenly has utopian appeal for many left-leaning Americans. Its universal health care, gay rights, abortion rights, gun laws, drug laws, opposition to the Iraq war, ban on capital punishment and ethnic diversity mirror many values of the American left. Immigrants, including an estimated 1 million Americans, make up nearly 20 percent of Canada's population. The United Nations named Toronto the world's most multicultural city. And, as Michael Moore pointed out in "Bowling for Columbine" - required viewing for many lefties - in Canada there's apparently no reason to lock your door. Combine that with hockey, terrific needle exchange programs and moose - hey, what's not to love? Well, all the extra U's (colour, neighbour ...), for one thing. It's cold. The baseball's not very good - so long, Expos. And the taxes are higher, eh? But, as one American who has his bags nearly packed likes to say, at least the taxes go toward good causes. "I just like their way of life a lot better, and with everything the Bush administration has done - for the American people to give him their seal of approval, it's basically the last straw," says Ralph Appoldt, a resident of Portland, in the barely blue state of Oregon. "Canada's basic population is much more intelligent, polite and civilized. I like their way of government a lot better. Their tax dollars go to helping those who need it, instead of funneling money back up to the wealthy and feeding this huge military-industrial machine." Appoldt, 50, a sales manager, and his wife, a nurse, figure that selling their house and getting their immigration approved could take more than a year. But they're moving, they insist. They've already hired Kischer to help them. Though he may see a good business opportunity following the election, Kischer has no illusions of a mass American exodus to Canada. Yanks have to follow the same procedures as everybody else - including the $500 application fee, the $975 landing tax, and the wait of six months to two years. He only expects about 100 people at each of the how-to-move-to-Canada seminars, all scheduled in blue states - Dec. 4 in Seattle, Dec. 5 in Los Angeles and Dec. 6 in San Francisco. Nancy Bray, a spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, said her agency's Web site received 261,000 hits from the United States in the two days following the election, but it'll be many months before officials can guess how many of them were serious. "Our interest, our goal, is to attract the best possible immigrants," Bray says. "If there's a lot of publicity about our country, that's to our benefit. But we're not interested in people's political leanings or political dissatisfaction." Jason Mogus, Communicopia's chief executive, said that while his company wanted to help interested Americans, moving to Canada should be plan B. "We strongly encourage Americans to stay and build a culture in line with their values," Mogus said. "In other words, stay and fight." ~~Heres a few other websites to help you get your ass outta this great country if you cant deal! www.embarkationlaw.com/ Citizens & Immigration Canada: www.cic.gc.ca/english/ Marry an American: www.marryanamerican.ca/ ~~~~~ AMERICA...LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT,BABY!

GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS! My TRIBUTE

~~First let me thank,honor and send massive amounts oflove to all vets,past,present and future for all their work,dedication,passion and love of our country and freedom.God Bless their families and friends who have to sacifice them for the better of our world.Thank you isnt enuff words to express my gratitude for what they,and my dad,have done for us.May God always be on your shoulders.Please kiss a VET,go visit a nursing home and spend a while with a few, call an elderly relative and thank them,if at all possible for you in Washington area to go to Walter Reed Hospital to show the love to our hurt,maimed and disabled fighters.Stop by a vet cemetary and show your respect.There are alot of local Vet hospitals that the men woud LOVE a visit,card,your time!There are so many creative ways to show repect and thanks. Send a cyber thanks to troops thru www.OperationDearAbby.net Get out there kids and show these heros 'The Love!' =^.^= ~ ~VETERENS DAY,FREEDOM isnt FREE Eleven thousand soldierslay beneath the dirt and stone, all buried on a distant land so far away from home. For just a strip of dismal beach they paid a hero's price, to save a foreign nation they all made the sacrifice. And now the shores of Normandy are lined with blocks of white: Americans who didn't turn from someone else's plight. Eleven thousand reasons for the French to take our side, but in the moment of our need, they chose to run and hide. Chirac said every war means loss, perhaps for France that's true, for they've lost every battle since the days of Waterloo. Without a soldier worth a damn to be found within the region, the French became the only land to need a Foreign Legion. You French all say we're arrogant. Well hell, we've earned the right-- We saved your sorry nation when you lacked the guts to fight. But now you've made a big mistake, and one that you'll regret; you took sides with our enemies,and that we won't forget. It wasn't just our citizens you spit on when you turned, but every one of yours who fell the day the towers burned. You spit upon our soldiers, on our pilots and Marines, and now you'll get a little sense of just what payback means. So keep your Paris fashions and your wines and your champagnes, and find some other market that will buy your airplanes. And try to find somebody else to wear your French cologne, for you're about to find out what it means to stand alone. You see, you need us far more than we ever needed you. America has better friends who know how to be true. I'd rather stand with warriors who have the will and might,than huddle in the dark with those whose only flag is white. I'll take the Brits, the Aussies, the Israelis and the rest, for when it comes to valor we have seen that they're the best. We'll count on one another as we face a moment dire, while you sit on the sideline with a sign,"friendship for hire." We'll win this war without you and we'll total up the cost, and take it from your foreign aid, and then you'll feel the loss. And when your nation starts to fall, well French, you can spare us, just call the Germans for a hand, they know the way to Paris. =^.^=

He almost seemed human as he chocked back a tear!(I didnt know robots had emotions, I might have been sweeter!NOT!) He realy was loose and open,and humble.Maybe some ketchup on that big fat slice of humble pie helped it go down!! ;-)> I can only pray this expierience will encourage Kerry to not only GO TO WORK in the SENATE, but kick some ass and do alot of good for all of us he promised the world to!Git 'er done! I want his nose to the grindstone(if not only to improve it!),but to bang out many great things for us Great Americans.He at least owes that to his supporters!And will keep him outta Her Royal Heinz-ness's face! I still say she told him last night 'SHOVE IT SCUMBAG,YOU IDIOT LOSER!'!!!! I wonder what WonderBoy John John Edwards will now do.Will he sue all of us who voted AGAINST him and his Master?At least he is still cute!Maybe he will do some acting.Umm...some MORE ACTING! He and Kerry hated each other as they ran AGAINST each other, then it was a LOVE FEST once Kerry picked John John as VP choice.The man on man love was almost too much.Someone told me once 'Politicians are just actors too ugly for Hollywood!'.I am just soooooo glad all this election is OVER! I am proud of my homestate of FLORIDA not being the DRAMA QUEEN in this election.Kudos and whoever prayed to sacrifice my Miami Dolphins for a smooth election I DAMN YOUR EVIL SOUL FOREVER!!! UURRRGGGHHHH!!! May you find your eternity next to Arafat in Hell! Jeeze, I wonder Arafat ever got my 'Get Worse Soon' Card B4 he died??? YYYYEEEAAAAAWWWWHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

TOP 10 REASONS JOHN KERRY LOST!! ;-)>

Top Ten John Kerry Excuses 10. Voters were in a fever-induced haze because they couldn't get flu shots. 9. Floridians confused by shockingly unconfusing ballots. 8. Maybe it wasn't best idea to begin speeches with "yo mama is so fat" jokes. 7. The endorsement from Osama Bin Laden didn't exactly help him. 6. "Dude--it's the Curse of the Bambino." 5. Should've campaigned more in New Mexico, less in regular Mexico. 4. Turns out voters think it's hot that Cheney has a lesbian daughter. 3. Thought America was ready for a lunatic first lady. 2. Voters seem to really like a weak economy and a badly-run war. 1. Was distracted by late night erotic phone calls from Bill O'Reilly =^.^=

The POWER of PRAYER 4 this ELECTION DAY!

Hey everyone! I am usualy not so serious,but these are serious times folks! ;-)> The title may lead you to believe I am prayin for some horrific drama to happen to John and his ROYAL HEINZ-NESS!,even though there GOOSE is COOKED, BABY!(PLEASE LORD!) so before the serious, here is a funny Bush/Kerry toon to lighten ya. www.miniclip.com ~~ Many of you are concerned about our nation and the upcoming election. In keeping with 2 Chronicles 7:14, this is a call to prayer and fasting for our nation. It is sent to you because you are known to be a praying Christian. Once you have read the request, please copy and send it to ten Christians who are unknown to the person who sent the mail to you. On Tuesday, November 2, 2004 will you pray and fast concerning this election. Our nation is under attack. Not only is Satan putting it in the hearts of foreign enemies to attack, but many enemies from within would destroy all mention of God and His word. Please pray for our president, our nation, and our world. Please pray that God will give us a Godly man to serve for the next four years. Please pray against Satan and those who would use this election as a means to serve the cause of Satan. .. Below is an outline designed to help give focus as we pray and also help us be united and enable us to agree in prayer as one body. For it is written: ...if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19 Isaiah 58 explains the type of fast that pleases God. .. I. Pray for our president that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Isaiah 55:17 . II. Pray that God will forgive the sins of our nation and will have mercy on us and our nation. Isaiah 54:10 and Psalm 130:7 . III. Pray that the Lord will deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:13 IV. Pray that the Lord bless us and give to us a leader who serves God with his whole heart and a leader who seeks the face of God before making decisions for our country. Psalm 33:12 . V. Pray that the Lord will lay it on the hearts of his people to become a part of this election and cast a vote for the man who names the name of Christ and who prays daily for the nation. Please remember that the Bible shows us that when a nation serves God and pleases Him He blesses that nation with a Godly man to lead. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord Psalm 33:12 .. In view of the two tapes recently released from terrorist, it is very important that we as a nation unite in prayer. . ~~ =^.^= I hope this inspires the daily prayer and the not much of a praying person to belive like I do in the POWER OF PRAYER! I pray for everyone of YOU, this COUNTRY,its leader,all the great americans who make it ROCK! I pray for the strength,wisdom,power,knowledge and conpassion for our leader of of great country and the world.I pray for troops and their families. I pray many of you are inspired to say a prayer,many of you already are, and then their are some of you rolling your eyes. But please just take a moment and say a little something something!Ok, so pray and or fast! VOTE! Listen 2 Sean 3 Hours today and 1 on The BOOB TUBE tonight,and dont be causing no fights at the polling booth! LOL! No get yer butts moving!!! Remember, no matter WHAT the results are (PLEASE LORD NOT TERASSA!) remember I still love ya'll!!! =^.^=
