Hurricane Katrina - Nancy Pelosi - Washington, DC – 2005 & Accountability Benedict XVI Child Sexual Abuse = Looking For Leadership in a Storm!!!

Hurricane Katrina 

was one of the strongest storms to impact the coast of the United States during the last 100 years. With sustained winds during landfall of 125 mph (110 kts) (a strong category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale) and minimum central pressure the third lowest on record at landfall (920 mb), Katrina caused widespread devastation along the central Gulf Coast states of the US. Cities such as New Orleans, LA, Mobile, AL, and Gulfport, MS bore the brunt of Katrina's force and will need weeks and months of recovery efforts to restore normality.

Vatican’s X Files? -- By Fr. Marty Kurylowicz – June 4, 2010 - Kids Are Being Hurt!!!

Watergate & Vaticangate

It grieves me to think that the Vatican’s unsubstantiated antigay teachings are a cover for an unbelievable much deeper kind of corruption than the average Catholic would have ever conceived possible or anyone else for that matter. 

The analogies between Benedict XVI, the hierarchy’s child sexual abuse cover-ups and Nixon’s Watergate burglary into the Democratic Head Quarters are phenomenal. Photo 

Care for 'the least among us' should guide Congress, Pelosi says – By Patricia Zapor, May 7, 2010 - Catholic News Service

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Jesus' admonition to care for "the least among us" is a philosophy she tries daily to bring to the work of Congress, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi May 6, speaking to participants in a Washington briefing sponsored by the National Catholic Reporter and Trinity Washington University. Photo 

She also urged priests and bishops to speak from the pulpit about the need for comprehensive immigration reform...

In remarks that quoted Pope Benedict XVI's 2006 encyclical "Deus Caritas Est" ("God Is Love") and St. Augustine, Pelosi, a graduate of Trinity, described the religious influences on her actions in Congress as stemming from Christ's teachings about loving one another and caring for those in society who have the least.  Read more http://www.uscatholic.org/news/2010/05/care-least-among-us-should-guide-congress-pelosi-says

Benedict XVI’ New Mass Translation, Should Be POSTPONED INDEFINITELY Children First, In The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ

First and Foremost Assure Protection of Children Globally, Transparency Independent Investigations, Restitution Made To Victims Before Benedict XVI’ New Mass Translation, Should Be POSTPONED INDEFINITELY In The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ

It had been reported that the reason Benedict XVI, as Cardinal Ratzinger should be excused from any culpability for the reassigning of pedophile clergy, because he was heavily involved in theological issues, which before God is no excuse.  Now, Benedict XVI and the hierarchy are involved in the negligence of globally failing to protect children, which has not been resolved only covered up again. Benedict XVI appears to be repeating the same irresponsible behavior regarding the safety and well-being of children, with all due respect.  To remain silent regarding this issue is to collude with this travesty of justice to children and the victims of child sexual abuse – a sacrilege committed every time we would celebrate this new mass of Benedict XVI.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in an interview on Monday with the radio program "Marketplace." "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway," she said, "so this is working very well for them." Read more – September 7, 2005 – The New York Times

Nancy Pelosi

By KAREN TUMULTY

Nancy Pelosi and her army of whips had counted the votes and counted them again. But as they conferred in Pelosi's warren of offices just off the Capitol Rotunda in June, it seemed there was no way to get them to add up to 218. That's a majority in the House, the number it would take to pass the climate-change legislation the Speaker calls "my flagship issue." But in the middle of a recession, the measure that Republicans were calling a job killer seemed too much to ask of her stressed-out caucus, especially after Democrats had already put their necks on the line to bail out Wall Street and the auto industry and to pass a $787 billion economic-stimulus package, and when they were looking ahead to a massive overhaul of the health care system. Further, it would probably be futile. The Senate might not follow, and even the White House was sending mixed signals as to whether it wanted to do this on top of everything else it had going on in Barack Obama's first year in office.

But Pelosi was undaunted. "Everybody out of the office," the Speaker told her lieutenants. "Just give me the whip list" — the confidential tally of where every member stood…Congressman George Miller noticed her moving methodically across the chamber from member to member. "Like Jaws," Miller recalls, humming the movie's ominous bum-bum-bum-bum theme music… "She's getting the votes to pass the energy bill,"…

…It can be foolish — maybe even dangerous — to underestimate Nancy Pelosi. A former stay-at-home mom of five who didn't run for public office until she was almost 47, Pelosi holds the highest post ever attained by any woman in U.S. history, and stands second in line of succession to the presidency. She has consolidated more power than any other Speaker in modern history, scholars of the office believe. In the first year of the Obama presidency, she has used that power — and an 81-seat Democratic majority, the largest either party has enjoyed in the House in 14 years — to pass every item on his agenda: health care, energy, regulatory reform, education, pay equity. While most of the outside world's attention has centered on the intrigue and machinations of the Senate, where bills get snarled in procedure and the 60-vote hurdle to overcome filibusters, "the amount of things the House has done this year has been mind-boggling," says White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer… Read complete article & view more photos - By KAREN TUMULTY – TIME

Benedict XVI Desperate Attempt To Distract Public From Condemning Galileo As Heretic Insisting, “Sun Revolves Around Earth” & Wrongly Condemning LGBT

I suggested earlier this year 2009, several times that Benedict XVI hold a Global Conference on Human Sexuality at the Vatican to deal more lovingly with tangible life forms that we know exist, LGBTQI children and adults, their families and friends, because

Kids Are Being Hurt !!!

You can never out run truth. Truth will always track you down wherever you try to hide and expose your folly. MSK

Benedict XVI modus operandi appears to be every time he causes some harm against LGBT children and adults, whether overtly or covertly, he then creates some major public distraction to divert his and public attention from the truth about his harmful activities. This tacit is called "divide and conquer."

Important note: I mean no disrespect to Pope Benedict XVI or the hierarchy, the one and only concern is the safety and well-being of children.

Op-ed: Vatican Bans

Gays, But E.T. Is OK?

Two nights ago my husband and I heard of the Vatican’s attempt to seek out extraterrestrials. This made me laugh at first, but then I became a bit angry – with all of the issues plaguing society, this is of utmost concern for the Roman Catholic Church? The Pontifical Academy convened the meeting to seek out an answer to the age old question as to whether or not we are alone in this universe. According to the Catholic News Service 30 high-level scientists from across the world met at the Vatican Observatory Nov. 6-10 to consider the possibility of alien life. Photo Nasa

Then just yesterday I learned the State of the Vatican City, the world’s smallest country incorporating 110 acres in the middle of Rome (and the global headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church) has banned gays and lesbians from visiting. And just how are the Papal Swiss Guards who keep watch over the Vatican to know you are gay? Is Hitler to rise up and tattoo a pink triangle on every LGBT individual, the symbol epitomizing homosexuality as created by the Third Reich during World War II?

Millions of tourists visit the Vatican annually, taking in its sprawling gardens, vast museums, glorious architecture, and of course religious services. It seems as if the Vatican must have lost sight of the fact that Michelangelo and Bernini, two of history’s most prominent artists, (who are reputed to have been gay) helped make the Vatican what it is today. Michelangelo painted the famous ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in 1508, including the centermost portion of the ceiling with its iconic image of the hand of God giving life to Adam; and he designed the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, which currently stands as the world’s tallest dome. Bernini designed the famed colonnade-framed St. Peter’s Square. Photo Nasa

When asked about the Vatican policy on gay and lesbian tourists, Bishop Janusz Kaleta of Holy See, the Apostolic Administrator of Atyrau, a city in Kazakhstan, said that “the mere presence of homosexuals constitutes a desecration of the holy site. I consider if someone is homosexual, it is a provocation and an abuse of this place... It is offensive to our buildings and our religion.”

I must confess that I attended a Catholic middle school, then Baylor University, the world’s largest Baptist university, yet I’m a Methodist. I’ve studied the teachings of Christ and the Bible for decades, and though a devout Christian, I’ve become increasingly incensed with what many call the fundamentalists for their intolerant and bigoted views.

Lawmakers defy church pressure on DC gay marriage - By The Associated Press – 365gay.com

(Washington) The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington is threatening to stop providing social services, including management of city homeless shelters, unless lawmakers change a proposal to legalize same-sex marriages.

So far, most city council members have refused to do that.

Catholic Charities has city contracts to provide services to about 68,000 people. The marriage bill would not require churches to perform same-sex weddings, but because Catholic Charities uses city money, the archdiocese fears it would have to offer employee benefits and adoptions to married same-sex couples. Photos

The marriage legislation is expected to pass next month and has the mayor’s support.

Jane G. Belford, the chancellor of the Washington archdiocese, wrote Councilman Phil Mendelson on Wednesday asking for an exemption to protect the church’s religious freedoms. The church wants to be exempt from any measure that would require it to extend benefits to same-sex couples or allow gays and lesbians to adopt children.

Council member Tommy Wells said it would be dangerous to let the Catholic church start writing D.C. laws, a sentiment expressed by Mendelson and other members.

“Allowing individual exemptions opens the door for anyone to discriminate based on assertions of religious principle,” Mendelson said.

Let’s not forget that during the civil rights era, many claimed separation of the races was ordained by God.
