As promised, as if it was something to look forward to, I've put the photos from Sorrento and thereabout up on Flickr.
I can't access Flickr from work ('Personal Network Storage and Backup' – thanks a bunch) so I'll put the full link in later. However, if you go to my photo page and click on the 'Sorrento 2006' set, you'll see them all. I've geocoded them as well, so you can view the photos on a map, corresponding to where they were taken.

Q: Issues with installation of node.js application - ReferenceError: primordials is not defined after execution of gulp command I tried to install the node.js application from this Github repository:https://github.com/jsprodotcom/sentimentAnalysisApp
I downloaded all the compressed file, decompressed under my Desktop folder on Windows 10 laptop with installed Node.js 14.17.5 LTS version, copied my API keys of my Twitter account into twitter.js file, and executed the command from cmd prompt "npm install".
Then I tried to execute the command "gulp" in order to activate the server gulp to connect to the HTML page http://localhost:3000 but I got this type of error:

Into the folder "node-modules" of the Githubrepository, once downloaded and decompressed, you find the js files into there are the errors reported by node.js (for example \node_modules\natives\index.js).
Anyone can help me to solve these issues in order to execute correctly the application by connecting to the page http://localhost:3000 with my Edge or Chrome browser on my laptop?
Thanks in advance for the collaboration

A: You might have solved this by now. This sentiment analysis app is a 7 year old code base and you will need to run it with an old version of node. Try v10.24.1 LTS and then it should work.

Inspired by the benefits she's personally experienced from yoga, Jess' goal as a teacher is to create a safe and judgment-free space for her students of any level to recharge, reconnect with themselves and practice the gentle flow of physical movement connected with breath. Through this, allowing her students to find a release from physical tension that can be so distracting in our lives and a place within that allows for more mental peace and clarity.
Coming from a corporate background, Jess brings back the idea of gentleness towards ourselves in our lives. Jess believes yoga is about personal empowerment, in whatever way that resonates with you, and that it opens you up and allows you to receive what you need from the practice as soon as you take the action of just stepping onto the mat.

Muralism
Let the painting begin....
Wall / Therapy hits Rochester this summer in a neighborhood near you!
Living in New York City years ago I experienced an explosion of graffiti that enveloped the subways and stretched out onto walls of any available derelict building. The artists ranged from the unknowns to the soon-to-be-famous like Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. There were hundreds of taggers who just had to make their mark and some of this public art really deserved attention. In recent years this kind of renegade art has met up with more sophisticated art school types who shaped a transgressive behavior of painting on someone else's property to meet their own needs and further their own careers. I remember some of the first legitimate murals in New York City were terrific - Knox Martin had one on the West Side Highway in Chelsea for years.
In Philadelphia, which has a wealth of public art on the street - the murals spread around the city have become a tourist draw. Teaching at R.I.T. I had the idea of painting murals as part of my class projects in illustration, and I put my ideas into practice. I found sponsors for projects and my class painted murals on site for the group CASA ( in the municipal parking garage at Family Court ), as well as for Literacy Volunteers, and for the local real estate advocates. These projects happened almost twenty years ago, and now I can witness a whole new wave of large scale painting being orchestrated by Wall / Therapy.
This summer's events include large scale murals going up in my studio neighborhood on East Main Street. I see a three story mural going up a few hundred yards away from my loft in the Hungerford Building. I also noticed a work on the walls of an old barn on North Goodman by David Walker.

At the Memorial Art Gallery
the 6th Biennial
"I don't know much about art,
but I know what I like"
That's a statement you hear from skeptics about the art world ( and its economics ). The whole art thing is a kind of a sham for them - and the people they think that prolong this mistake are often art critics - misguided journalists who don't have anything better to do. So, some might point to the art critic and ask how they make sense of the vast offerings on view from artists all over the world - and that makes a point. What is the job of the art critic today? How can any one person stay on top of the art scene, and finally - what value is the art critic's perspective?
50 years ago people may have read Hilton Kramer ( New York Times chief art critic ) or Clement Greenberg ( in The Nation ) and from their writing the reader had a sense of what was good, and what wasn't - and these critics had some impact ( for better or worse ). Today, there is no single path for a critic to take, and the art world is really that - a global marketplace and it is tough to get a handle on it.
Do many art critics know what it is like to produce a work of art today? There are so many materials to take into account, and many points of view about what is relevant today. You don't have to go far to see that the arts are fragmenting and it is a real job for the artist to get and hold someone's attention, and it is difficult for the audience to slow down and be sensitive to what is being shown.
A few years ago writers and critics like Robert C. Morgan and the late Arthur Danto were addressing the end of the art world as we know it. Actually the practitioners ( artists at work ) must not have noticed, because there is so much more to look at, and to contemplate today. Take for example the recent show that opened at The Memorial Art Gallery - their 6th Rochester Biennial. Every two years a select group of artists are chosen to show us what they've got, and this year we have a printmaker, a painter, and four artists who work three-dimensionally.
Inside the 6th Biennial
I've known some of the artists in this Biennial for years and I can applaud their work, and also the layout of the show - giving each artist some space to breathe - allowing the viewer to focus their gaze on the objects in question. Kumi Korf, an artist from Ithaca, NY opens the show ( her work is on the card above, and the banner outside the museum ). Kumi's prints are biomorphic abstractions - gentle curves and attractive color which she develops intuitively in series - one thing leads to another. Her art creates a field for a poem written by Bhisham Bherwani, part of the image displayed is upside down and the prints are titled "Delirium" . Artist books are on view as well, and Kumi Korf's deft handling reveals some of her background in architecture. Her books employ printmaking techniques and may include thread and photos, as in the 2012 work " Sea to Land" .
Moving in through the show I found ceramic forms by Richard Hirsch to be very rough and sophisticated at the same time. Encaustic paintings on the walls in his space reminded me of the colorfield art of Jules Olitski. These encaustic works look like slabs of sandstone right out of a quarry. His "Crucible" series is impressive in size and these often oversize vessels are accompanied with ladles, or blown glass as in the " Mortar and Pestle" of 2014. This art is all about tactility, and it makes me imagine the people who might use such equipment and how it might be used. This is more directly addressed in the works called "Primal Cup" - and here the clay looks like a lesson in topology. Isn't that what clay is all about? Something you can roll out flat or roll into a ball, or make a terrific texture or even a teacup.
Kim Waale's work in this show is all about artifice, and her installation included a pieced together map as a flat surface on top of which she placed faux rocks and phragmites, PLUS a large plastic waterfall -
all deliciously absurd!
Brooch by Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez
Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez hails from Mexico City, but has been at R.I.T. in the School for American Craft where he is now the Chair. His talents are very detail oriented, and the artwork he has on display is fanciful, highly cultured, tactile, and alluring. Many of these are pieces of jewelry - though not in the traditional sense - they are meant to be worn, and not just looked at in a vitrine. Juan Carlos is a gifted artist, teacher, and advocate for an open minded dialog about what art is and what it is going to be in the 21st century. You get the feeling that Juan Carlos has absorbed many influences as he grew into the artist he now is, and his art makes this manifest. The brooches he shows here have a painterly quality as if they had been imagined by Goya.
Across the way are paintings from Lynette Stephenson and they feature dozens of eyes looking back at the viewer in one of her canvases. In another painting there are strange dislocations that probably contain a mystery or a story about a dog tugging on a rope with a watermelon, three people and some chairs. These seem like the ingredients for a short story which we get to make up as we go along. Her strategy here owes a great deal to David Salle, who made this kind of ironic juxtaposition so popular in the mid-1980's.
Earthenware with glazes by Jeff Kell
Looking in the last room I found several works from Jeff Kell who is also associated with R.I.T. and the School for American Craft. His art is like a 3 dimensional illustration using clay as his medium, with an unusual humor that could work in a magazine story. At this Biennial there is something for everyone, so if you don't relate to this work, you just might resonate with something down the hall. These artists have earned a place in the spotlight, go and see for yourself.
Sterz Imrie
Several years ago I met Sterz Imrie for the first time - he was looking at a work space in my loft building in Rochester, and it wasn't long before he moved in with his young son, Calder. I think Sterz moved up from Brooklyn as I had done, and it was obvious from this first encounter that he was an unusual sort, - he was recovering from an operation that left him partly disabled, and I later found out that he had been exposed to a toxic pesticide and had suffered from a brain tumor. We shared our stories, and he looked around my studio and became my next-door-neighbor. Bringing up his young son in this rough workspace, while trying to develop artworks, and stabilize his condition was more than a full-time occupation, and he needed help.
I once had to lift him up because he collapsed on top of his son, and there were some other incidents, but basically Sterz had courage and strength and wasn't shy. Sterz also had some real world experience in fine art though he said that he was self-taught. He made serious - thought provoking installations and videos which still stay with me. Sterz also spent some time as an artist-in-residence here at the Cobblestone School.
I once interviewed him for a book I was writing and I went to see his art when he had shows in our area. He made an installation once in the Hungerford Building that consisted of suspended chunks of ice in plastic sleeves that steadily dripped down into big circular pans that caught each drop and amplified the sound for anyone who came to view what was happening. This was a solemn, profound, and moving experience to witness this piece of art. There were other shows including one at The Rochester Contemporary Art Center, and many others in Miami and in Europe.
Sterz was a sculptor who made videos, and he explored the use of the computer as a tool when it suited him - but he could just as easily use a fan blowing on a sheet of plastic and make something out of that.
The important thing for me was his character - this was a person of great courage and conviction, and through his ordeal ( several operations ) he never wavered in taking care of his son who was growing up, and also he was engaged with the world as a thoughtful, and respectful person as you will ever meet. He will be missed, passing away on July 4th; he leaves behind many indelible memories, and we are stronger for having known this man and shared this space and time.

La pupazza frascatana è un dolce tradizionale di Frascati, in provincia di Roma, riconosciuto prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale laziale.

Viene prodotto tutto l'anno, e i suoi ingredienti tipici di base sono farina 00, olio extravergine d'oliva, miele millefiori dall'Agro pontino, aroma d'arancio.

Il dolce raffigura una donna con tre seni, occhi e bocca sono talvolta di semi d'orzo.

La leggenda

La leggenda legata alla pupazza vuole che rappresenti una mammana, una balia che teneva a custodia i bambini delle donne impegnate nella vendemmia. Questa mammana era in grado di ammansire anche i bambini più agitati e capricciosi: a differenza delle sue colleghe, infatti, li imboniva allattandoli a un seno finto con del buon vino di Frascati. Così, il dolce raffigura una donna con tre seni, due per il latte e uno per il vino.

La leggenda, nata negli anni sessanta, oltre a legarsi goliardicamente alla viticoltura, una delle maggiori realtà produttive frascatane, si è diffusa in pochi anni come patrimonio iconografico locale. Sul territorio italiano si producono altri dolci detti pupazze, ma la pupazza frascatana è l'unica pupazza a rappresentare la figura femminile con tre seni.

Variante
Oltre a tale versione ne è presente anche un'altra, definita pupazza del Frusinate, molto simile a questa e derivante dalla cultura contadina, l'uovo posto al centro simboleggia la nascita di una nuova vita e simbolo di resurrezione. La ricetta è molto simile a quella sopraccitata ma con la differenza che vanno molte uova.
Queste due ricette hanno storia simile poiché nascono nell'Agro pontino e poi vengono portate nei vari luoghi, da Frascati a Tivoli e Frosinone.

TaoCang Art Centre is a project that values and preserves the architecture of the granaries and honours the history of the place
China: Looking at these art centre buildings, would you believe they were once granaries?
Roarc Renew have adopted a sensitive design approach for this project, preserving the original architecture while repurposing them into an art centre
By Avni Raut
Situated in the town of Wangjiangjing in China's Zhejiang province are two old granaries, surrounded by hundreds of acres of lotus marsh and the TaoCang canal. These structures have existed since the 1950s/1960s and were earlier used by residents to store grains, after which they were burned and fell into disuse. Roarc Renew, a Shanghai-based architectural design studio, was approached by the landowner to repurpose the granaries and transform them into a landmark art centre, titled 'TaoCang Art Centre'.
Retaining the Essence
The granaries were erected using a system of concrete arches. "It's important to point out that brick-made roof sheathing and structural arches of the granaries are very unique—they are the wisdom of ancient Chinese craftsmen," says Robben Bai, founder and principal architect of Roarc Renew. The original construct has been retained with a change made to the gable walls. Besides this the firm has essentially carried out only repairing and reinforcing work for the structures. "In terms of architectural details, the gable walls of the granaries were closed originally, but now they are replaced by round arched glass gates. We built a new arch on the gable walls to support the brick wall. This is the biggest structural adjustment for the granaries. The rest of the structural adjustment is mostly repair and reinforcement," explains Robben. The western granary functions as a commercial gallery while the eastern granary is now an art gallery.
The New Addition
The studio has conceived two corridors to accompany the granaries and these new additions have been designed using concrete and facing bricks and feature a series of arches. The corridors run parallel to the two granaries, before curving inwards into the empty space between them and also rise gradually, attaining a rather imposing height at the point of culmination. The space created in the centre near the entrances of the galleries offers an overwhelming sense of scale where the walls rise up in an act of framing the sky.
The construction of the corridors has streamlined the circulation pattern for the art centre. While the corridors are meant to guide visitors towards the main gallery entrances in the centre, the east and west ends serve as freight entrances, thus establishing separate routes for both purposes. The corridors will house restaurants, souvenir shops, coffee stores and other facilities in the future, in order to support the operations of the art centre. "Full-height glass will be installed and electromechanical positions will be reserved to make the corridors an indoor space," informs Robben.
Honouring the Past
The soaring walls which face the lotus marsh feature a pattern of wheat ears, symbolising the past of the buildings. This pattern has been formed by bricks protruding from the surface of the wall. "It is worth mentioning that each brick is connected to the concrete wall with steel mesh by chemical bolts," adds Robben.
The interiors reveal stark white surfaces, providing a neutral backdrop for art exhibitions. The flooring, on the other hand, finished in lotus pattern terrazzo, is expressive and stands out distinctly. This pattern serves to commemorate the village's lotus flower industry and the pond nearby.
TaoCang Art Centre is a project that values and preserves the architecture of the granaries and honours the history of the place through various design gestures. Due to the efforts of Roarc Renew, this pair of discarded granaries now embrace a new identity while retaining their original charm and construct.

Caring for kids in your family…who aren't yours?
ACH's New Program is a Unique Solution Providing Much Needed Resources to Kinship Families
Chantel Bedlington plays a vital role in helping ACH Child and Family Services create a program that will change the lives of families caring for relative children.
Chantel, ACH's Kinship Navigator Support Specialist, has been reviewing data from a voluntary survey and connecting with kinship families as well as organizations that serve kinship families to build a network of resources, education, and support to build our Kinship Navigator program.
"The Kinship Navigator program will help kinship families with their unique needs and connect them to much-needed resources, support groups, as well as financial assistance, legal assistance, and more," said Chantel.
ACH is one of four organizations selected by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to develop and implement a program to serve kinship caregivers.
Because of ACH's broad range of programs that help children and families, Chantel has been able to assist many kinship families before the program has even launched. Kinship families have been able to utilize AIRS, ACH's 24/7 bilingual crisis hotline, Real Help for Real Life, which provides free youth and family counseling, and our Kinship Connections support group. The Kinship Navigator Program has also partnered with Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support groups in North Texas.
What is kinship care?
A kinship family occurs when a grandmother, aunt, uncle, or sibling is raising a family member. Kinship families can also include children placed with close family friends, also known as fictive kin. In either case, when a child is placed with a family member, it's new to both.
Chantel understands the needs and struggles of kinship parents because she is one herself. Chantel and her husband began raising relative children they had only met once before the placement. She also has two biological children and one adoptive child.
Two years ago, Chantel got a call from Child Protective Services in Kansas saying that her husband's stepsister's children would be placed in foster care if a family member couldn't care for them.
"What do you do when you get that call," asked Chantel. "I don't want to be that person that stands in front of these kids one day and have them ask, 'You are my family, and you didn't come?'"
So, they went. Chantel and her husband packed up their car and drove to Kansas to pick up the children. Almost as soon as the kids were in Chantel's care, she was faced with a lack of support and resources to help her kids since their DFPS case was closed as soon as they were picked up by family.
For the last two years since the placement, Chantel had to fight to get the kids on Medicaid and get adequate resources for their critical health needs. She had to obtain a lawyer to get legal guardianship. Even getting the kids enrolled at their neighborhood schools was a struggle.
"I had to fight for everything," Chantel said.
This experience led her to ACH.
"When I saw this position at ACH, I wasn't necessarily looking for a new job," she said. "I was just like, 'Wow, somebody has got to do that. Somebody has got to help fight for these families.'"
Chantel has built strong relationships with local kinship families from the very beginning of the Kinship Navigator program. These relationships were extremely rewarding and beneficial in her role as a kinship parent.
"Before I started working with ACH, I didn't know any other kinship caregivers," said Chantel. "It has been wonderful to connect with them and know that we are on this journey together."

That connection is almost as equally important as financial assistance and legal aid for kinship parents.
Many kinship caregivers, especially those who are grandparents, are again having to raise children during a time when none of their friends are. They don't have anyone to relate to in their lives.
Not only that, but many are dealing with the guilt of their children's choices that led to their grandchildren entering their care. It is hard for them not to feel shame for their children's choices that led to things like addiction or imprisonment, which caused them to lose their children.
"Many of our grandparents feel isolated because of that," said Chantel. "They need to know their adult children's choices are not their fault."
Most people don't realize kinship families have unique needs: They are raising the children of a family member and experiencing the many emotions involved in that. The family dynamic can be a very difficult one to navigate for the kids and the caregiver. For many of the children going into kinship care, they are dealing with the trauma they experienced with their parents. Oftentimes, even though the children are going with family, they don't have existing relationships with the family they are being sent to live with, which can be traumatizing.
"Foster and adoptive parents have the advantage of being trained on trauma, what to expect and how to help a kid who is losing control," said Chantel. "For kinship families, they just get a call."
What to Expect When You're Not Expecting
To combat this common problem, Chantel has begun developing a guide to help kinship parents navigate their new role: What to Expect When You Weren't Expecting. It will teach parents how to get the children enrolled in school, what to expect in the licensing process, and how to apply for Medicaid. Becoming a licensed kinship foster parent offers benefits like monthly financial compensation and long-term support. However, the Kinship Navigator Program is ready to help those who are not eligible or interested in seeking licensing. The guide will also have recommendations for articles, podcasts, and books on kinship and trauma-informed care.
The Kinship Navigator program is planned to start this Fall, and it will benefit kinship families in Tarrant, Parker, Palo Pinto, Johnson, and Hill counties.

ACH Child and Family Services Celebrates 500th Adoption
Randall and Nikki Emery welcomed Everett into their forever home, making them ACH's 500th Adoption.
Local nonprofit focused on protecting children and preserving families celebrates historic milestone
FORT WORTH, Texas (July 19, 2021) – ACH Child and Family Services is excited to announce the organization's 500th adoption. ACH serves children from infancy to age 17 who are in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) with special attention around the placement of sibling groups and children age five and up, especially teens.
"While we're proud to announce this milestone, we recognize there is still much work to be done," says Lance Ortiz, ACH Outreach Coordinator. "Every day, we seek parents who will open their hearts and homes to deserving children. This work is so important in our ability to make a positive impact in the lives of those children and teens who need it most, as well as the greater Fort Worth community. We want to continue to do what we can to provide the critical support and resources children need to succeed."
ACH Child and Family Services continues to raise awareness of the impact and importance of foster care. In 2020, there were more than 9,000 children in North Texas in need of Foster Care.
"Foster parents are important because they protect children and preserve families," said Ortiz. "They provide homes and hearts filled with love and compassion and help children heal from the traumatic experiences and environments they may have come from. ACH thoroughly trains and supports foster parents to help children heal while their biological parents are working with agencies to regain focus and prepare for reunification. If a court determines that's not possible, then we look to adoption to find the child a forever family."
ACH has several upcoming virtual & in-person Foster Care and Adoption Meet & Greet events:
Tuesday, August 31st, 12-1 p.m. (Zoom Meeting)
Tuesday, September 7th, 6-7 p.m. (In-Person)
Thursday, September 16th, 6-7 p.m. (In-Person)
Those interested in learning more about foster care and/or adoption are invited to join these free information sessions. Participants can register online or by calling 817.335.HOPE (4673).

Going Beyond the Classroom
Being a teacher requires patience, kindness, and an open mind. When educating children with severe behavioral or emotional needs, providing safety, love, and hope through caring relationships is equally important.
Marcy Collins is the Academic Coordinator for ACH's Wedgwood Campus, where she has been providing educational support to the children in our care for the past year.
This campus is home to several crisis intervention programs including Summit, Turning Point, and Behavioral Care. Wedgwood also houses the Morris Program, which helps 14–17-year-olds who are unable to live with their families develop the life skills needed to transition to independent living.
Providing Normalcy During Uncertain Times
Unlike many other therapeutic treatment facilities, the children in Summit and Turning Point attend school during their stay. These programs provide crisis intervention to avoid hospitalizations, in a safe home-like setting.
"When the kids enter our programs, their whole world has just been turned upside down, and they are having to deal with heavy emotional and behavioral issues," said Marcy. "Having school during their stay establishes a structure and gives them a place to practice the coping skills they're learning."
The children in our care attend school through Odysseyware, an online curriculum that assigns students work and provides lessons. For the youth in Morris, some attend school virtually or in-person at schools in our neighborhood or are working towards achieving a GED. Collins works with each of them to ensure they are on track to graduating while accommodating their specific needs.
Leading with Love
Oftentimes, the children in our programs are coming from hard places, experiencing trauma that has made an impact on their behavioral and mental health. Because of that, Marcy must be prepared to handle these various behaviors in her classroom.
"I make it a point that for every kid that comes into our care, I become familiar with their history," said Marcy. "I learn about these kids before I even meet them, because I want to know what they are working with."
This preparation helps Marcy learn what their triggers are and how she can avoid them, as well as the best techniques for helping them calm down in stressful situations. Just like with any child, there are times when they don't want to do schoolwork and will outright refuse or break down.
"That is an opportunity to work with that kid and prepare them for life out of the treatment program," said Marcy. "We can show them how to work through those frustrating times."
Relationships Get Results
Because of her unique classroom of students, Marcy must go beyond the traditional role of a teacher. Maintaining the bond of a teacher and student is equally significant as that between a caregiver and a child.
"I am there not just to be a schoolteacher, but to be there for the kids," said Marcy. "I make them feel comfortable, feel safe, and feel as if school is not their enemy."
Daniel Pectol, ACH Director of Residential Services, praises Marcy for her ability to develop relationships with the children and utilize them during stressful situations when a child is frustrated or upset.
"You have to connect before you correct and she can get a child back on track," said Daniel. "She is personal with them and she will sit down with them and make sure they have what they need."
Always on Board
For Marcy, class is not over when the school day ends. She also provides training for the employees working on the Wedgwood campus. The love and care she gives children also extend to staff, according to Turning Point Supervisor McKenzie Slawson.
"She will help guide you in the right direction and answer any questions you have without judgment," said McKenzie. "Marcy is a very important person here on our campus."
During the pandemic, Daniel beamed at Marcy's efforts in and out of the classroom. She covered for employees who fell sick with COVID-19 and stepped up in taking care of positive children as well. With all the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic, Marcy made sure the kids were taken care of.
"Marcy is committed to making things better for kids," said Daniel.
For Marcy, juggling a classroom filled with different-aged kids, all with unique challenges can be tough, but she said the reward is so much greater.
"I love getting to see the confidence they develop while here at ACH," said Marcy.
If you would like to support Marcy and our programs at our Wedgwood campus, ACH offers many ways to get involved. To get started, visit https://old.achservices.org/give-now/.

← The 13 Cardinals Letter is a distraction, a trap.
Robert Card. Sarah is Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and an amazing fellow. Read his great new book length interview.
Don't have it? Buy it and get one for your parish priests.
Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register (not to be confused with the National Schismatic Reporter) writes about the intervention (speech) made by His Eminence Card. Sarah at the Synod.
Full text of synod intervention reveals the cardinal spoke of need to proclaim beauty of monogamy and family and called for more respect and transparency among synod fathers.
I feel a strong need to invoke the Spirit of Truth and Love, the source of parrhesia in speaking and humility in listening, who alone is capable of creating true harmony in plurality.
The first hope is therefore that, in our work, there by more freedom, transparency and objectivity. For this, it would be beneficial to publish the summaries of the interventions, to facilitate discussion and avoid any prejudice or discrimination in accepting the pronouncements of the synod Fathers.
Several clues enable us to intuit the same demonic origin of these two movements. Unlike the Spirit of Truth that promotes communion in the distinction (perichoresis), these encourage confusion (homo-gamy) or subordination (poly-gamy). Furthermore, they demand a universal and totalitarian rule, are violently intolerant, destroyers of families, society and the Church, and are openly Christianophobic.
Faced with these two deadly and unprecedented challenges ("homo-gamy" and "poly-gamy") the Church must promote a true "epiphany of the Family." To this both the Pope (as spokesman of the Church) may contribute, and individual Bishops and Pastors of the Christian flock: that is, "the Church of God, which he has obtained with his own blood" (Acts: 20:28).
We must proclaim the truth without fear, i.e. the Plan of God, which is monogamy in conjugal love open to life. Bearing in mind the historical situation just recalled, it is urgent that the Church, at its summit, definitively declare the will of the Creator for marriage. How many people of good will and common sense would join in this luminous act of courage carried out by the Church!
Together with a strong and clear Word of the Supreme Magisterium, Pastors have the mission of helping our contemporaries to discover the beauty of the Christian family. [NB] To do this, it must first promote all that represents a true Christian Initiation of adults, [Do I hear an "Amen!"?] for the marriage crisis is essentially a crisis of God, but also a crisis of faith, and this is an infantile Christian initiation. [infantile!] Then we must discern those realities that the Holy Spirit is already raising up to reveal the Truth of the Family as an intimate communion in diversity (man and woman) that is generous in the gift of life. We bishops have the urgent duty to recognize and promote the charisms, movements, and ecclesial realities in which the Family is truly revealed, this prodigy of harmony, love of life and hope in Eternity, this cradle of faith and school charity. And there are so many realities offered by Providence, together with the Second Vatican Council, in which this miracle is offered.
What was lacking, however, was a reference in the context of Christian initiation, was a word about the importance for a renewal of our sacred liturgical worship.
The Cardinal is dead on right about all these points. However, to combat them, we need a strong, even hard, Catholic identity. Without proper sacred liturgical worship… we can't have that.

It is interesting that Cardinal Sarah uses "demonic" and "two apocalyptic beasts" in discussing homosexualists and Islamists. I have long believed, and had an orthodox Catholic scripture scholar confirm the possibility, that homosexuals in the West and Muslims in the East will have a role in the Apocalypse, perhaps as the two riders of the Pale Horse of the Apocalypse: Death and Hades (Rev. 6:7-8).
Now THAT'S what clarity looks like. God Bless Cardinal Sarah.
But hasn't Cardinal Sarah spoken of proper liturgical worship already?
Give him a chance–he'll tie them together.
And Ratzinger has returned!!!!! I would imagine this is the sort of intervention that Benedict, himself, would have made, had he been on the Synod floor.
That is so impressive. I thank God.
If you bought the book, buy it for others. He is amazing. I am enjoying the book now, and have bought it for 2 others.
And just as my father and older brother had to confront Naziism and I ( to some extent, well no actual shots fired ) had to confront Marxist Socialism, so our children and grandchildren will have to confront Muslim terror of every sort, all of which will include Sharia Law, an example of which we are experiencing today in Saudi Arabia, a country and ruling family, a mere 75 years old? which has to go!.
And this may well be the greatest struggle yet.
The book is wonderful. For one thing, it reminds me a bit of St Augustine, because it actually has a lot of autobiographical details in it, and for me, somebody who knows next to nothing about the Church in Africa, especially in the dark days of the 1960s and the "revolutions," it was fascinating to see how a young boy from a Christian family lived through this. It reminded me a lot of the Confessions of St Augustine or even the writings of St Patrick, both children of pagan/Christian families being reared or living in mostly pagan environments. And Cdl Sarah is very charming, you can imagine him as a young boy going off from his village to the seminary in the "big city" with his parents fearing for him all the time.
But his comments on the Faith and Our Lord are wonderful, and as he moves along and is asked more about his understanding of things, you will really find things that make you stop to think. He was a disciple of Ratzinger and has a profound philosophical and theological education, and in addition is an amazing linguist. If only he could be our next Pope…or perhaps, if nothing else, he will be our next Augustine and BXVI will go down in history as his Ambrose.
The good thing about this Synod is that I am reading all the books put out by the orthodox Cardinals – The eleven Cardinals book, and Christ's New Homeland -Africa are on their way to me.
God bless Cardinal Sarah for his staunch defence of the faith.
Now I know why Cardinal Marx changed his tune from "we are not a subsidiary of Rome' to now saying we must unify around the pope. That's because Pope Francis will do what Cardinal Kasper has argued for since the time of St. JPII and Benedict XVI: [This is something I mentioned in a comment before…] That is, there has been an on-going debate between (then) Ratzinger and Kasper on the relation between the universal church and the local church. The decision to give Communion to divorced and remarried Catholics has long been cited by Kasper as a perogative of the local church. However, an important principle/question is at stake here, and that is – what is the role of the "universal church" – and what weight is to be given to statements/principles expressed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The real issue in the argument between Kasper and Benedict has always been: Does Rome, and in particular, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have the definitive say of how God intended us to live in order to gain eternal salvation? Or can local churches do their own interpretation.
It looks like Pope Francis will go with the latter…. seeing that he has already eschewed consultation with the Congregation of the Faith, the Apostolic Signatura…etc on his new annulment process. He doesn't seem to have much trust in the processes developed by the Church over time.
I am praying the rosary daily for the participants in the Synod – and for my adopted bishop. …as I simply cannot believe that the Holy Spirit can be so contradictory.
Eloquent indeed. May God bless and Mary protect Cardinal Sarah. His interview book is an inspiring read.
It is not too late to adopt a synod father in prayer at adoptasynodfather(dot)org. However, beware what you undertake. I have been assigned to pray for Archbishop Forte.
Perhaps part of my prayer may include asking Cardinal Sarah's guardian angel to attempt an intervention of his own with the Archbishop's. I think we too often underestimate the power of angels.
Oh, my word. How often have we longed to hear those kinds of words from our Cardinals and Bishops! Reading that, one can only see the disparity between the kind of banal blather we often have inflicted on us, and the real thing. God bless Cardinal Sarah and the African bishops. God bless them and keep them. My heart really is full of gratitude for some light in all this darkness.
Please God, that other good bishops find personal boldness and such clarity of thought and expression.
The prongs of attack are many. If matters, any of them, are left up to regional diocese, one can expect the radicals to immediately begin their complete departure from whatever remaining shreds of Catholicism they still retain. Dissidents count on social experimentation in one area. Once it's there, it spreads by promotion and social pressure. Insidious. The pope can prevent that (and so much more) by simply not allowing it.
Lamb100, I got bishop Bonny! I don't think I've ever found prayer as difficult as this, and believe me I've had to pray over some very hard things in my time.
A good topic for the next Synod. Or sooner, if we can manage.
Refreshing and clear. I pray more bishops will stand up.
Would have been nice to add something on the liturgy, but we can't expect everything when interventions are limited to… what, 3 minutes? His Eminence must be a fast talker.
To resurrect an old saying: that's a bishop who knows how to bish.
In true charity and mercy of course, formed by a sense of justice, without which, the former two do nothing to encourage conversion of heart.
To put it in the vernacular: Cardinal Sarah "gets it." I fear what will happen when the two beasts eventually face off with Christians in the middle.
I hope Cardinal Sarah is the next Pope.
Not likely. For one, he is already 70 – Burke is three years younger. For another, I think Francis has made it unlikely the next Pope will come from the developing world.
This man has an incredible mind. His clarity in speech is so refreshing. If the Holy Father ignores him in favor of Kasper and Company, the "smoke of Satan" is going to turn into fire.
As far as soundbites go, this is one of the most stirring things I've heard in years. Unfortunately, it's an unsettling kind of stirring.
One of the less significant (compared to his fidelity and clarity, but still of real significance) appeals of Cardinal Sarah to me is how his history in impoverished and unstable Western Africa relates to this sort of statement. He simply can't be dismissed as a rich, white, pro-establishment bureaucrat. He led a poor, non-European diocese and challenges much about the establishment. Actually, there's some interesting similarities between his backgrounds and Pope Francis'. I hope this is enough that Pope Francis will give his intervention close attention.
Let me suggest that this is an intervention that comes from a heart overwhelmed with a passionate love of Jesus Christ and his Church. This an intervention that comes from a heart that is, in a word, converted, and so Cardinal Sarah knows that holiness is possible, fidelity is possible, chastity is possible, and that a vigorous evangelization of even the most secular corners of society is possible. Because he knows in a personal way that with God all things are possible. And, you know, isn't that what the synod is really about?
Cardinal Sarah is cut out of the same cloth as Sts. Nicholas and Athanasius, both of whom were present at the first ecumenical council at Nicaea in 325. Athanasius (then an assistant to his bishop) undoubtedly witnessed the famous slap that Nicholas administered to the heretic, Arius. Sarah speaks the truth.
And now we hear the USCCB, our Bishops, have written to President Obama asking him, ASKING HIM, to bring 200,000 Muslims to the United States from Syria. Keep in mind that the neighboring nations like UAE, Kuwait, Quatar, etc., are refusing to take these "refugees" because they believe some/many are ISIS operatives. What can explain this bizarre action? They are completely out of touch with the realities here. Simple math would also tell anyone with common sense what we will have in 20 years. My God.
I don't mind telling you, I have had it with the USCCB. This horrible Synod just put the cherry on top. This Synod is changing many things.
Did Fr. Rosica deign to mention the good Cardinal's intervention?
Our pastor said something along those lines in a recent sermon. That we are born male and female and that nothing we do to mutilate ourselves can ever change that. That men and women are complimentary and are meant to support and love each other in marriage between a man and a woman. He got a very loud AMEN after the sermon.
Many of the Synod Fatyher refer, obliquely and ironically, to the need for 'clear' and accessible language. Here Cardinal Sarah shows them all how it is done!
Someone please start the slow clap, because I can only imagine Cdl. Sarah dropping the mic after this. The farther into his book I get, the more I absolutely love him as a prince and shepherd of the church. He is brilliant and these words need to be proclaimed to the whole world. I pray the Synod fathers listen to him and take his words to heart.
God forgive me, I forgot my own troubles and laughed out loud when I read that. I will say a prayer for your perseverance in praying for Abp. Forte.
I happily received Francesco Cardinal Coccopalmerio to pray for, apparently because God knew I couldn't take the strain of a Forte, Baldiserri, or Rosica.
West Germany is an American science project and has been used by neo-conservatives (bedfellows of cultural Marxists) as a template for the recent Middle Eastern wars. To complain about Germany is to complain about our own handiwork. That is the present flaw in "conservative" and tradionalist circles. In order for German thinkers to embrace again the Faith would require a repudiation of the post-war settlements and hegemonies (there are still 50,000 American troops in that country).
Which is, I guess, why Konrad Adenauer, when he refused to sell out his country into supposed neutrality according to an offer of Stalin, was heavily attacked by the left for letting Catholic faith dominate his politics (because that move, while totally justified in itself, had the side-effects that the Prussian heartlands were outside the Federal Republic and that the Federal Republic had a solid Catholic majority).
No, West Germany is as German as Germany can be (in a republican manner). It is the 1871 Empire (and certainly the Nazi realm) that was un-German by comparison.
– Note also that the German preference for American music was not planted by the American troops; it was firmly present throughout the Third Reich, the Nazis' almost desperate but never successful measures to stamp it out are sufficient proof for it.

A new "Terminator" film, "Terminator: Dark Fate," led ticket sales at the North American box office with a soft 29 million U.S. dollars in its opening weekend.
The science fiction action film with a reported 185-million-U.S.-dollar budget is co-financed by Paramount Pictures, Skydance Media, 20th Century Fox and Tencent Pictures which is the film and television arm of Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings Limited.
Tencent's co-financing share is reported to be 10 percent and is handling the distribution, marketing and merchandising of the film in China. It is the first collaboration between Tencent and Skydance since they entered into a partnership, with Tencent making a strategic investment in Skydance.
The film was released by Paramount Pictures in North America and 20th Century Fox outside of North America and China.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" is directed by Tim Miller and produced by James Cameron. It is the sixth installment in the "Terminator" franchise and a direct sequel to 1984's "The Terminator" and 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton reprised their iconic roles in the film as "The Terminator" and "Sarah Connor" from the first two installments directed by Cameron.
The latest "Terminator" film opened as the No.1 global release of the weekend, grossing 124 million dollars worldwide, according to studio figures collected by measurement firm Comscore.
It opened with 198 million yuan (around 28.1 million dollars) at the box office in Chinese mainland this weekend, according to Chinese film database Maoyan.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" received a "B+" rating from moviegoers on CinemaScore and a 69-percent certified fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to date.
Warner Bros.' thriller film "Joker" moved to second place with 13.92 million dollars in its fifth weekend. The film has grossed 299.61 million dollars in North America for a global cume of 934 million dollars through Sunday.
It is already the all-time biggest R-rated film worldwide and considered an Oscar frontrunner in the coming awards season. Based on DC Comics characters, "Joker" is directed by Todd Phillips and stars Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role.

Disney's "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" landed in third place with 12.17 million dollars in its third weekend for a North American total of 84.3 million dollars through Sunday.
The fantasy adventure film is a sequel to the 2014's "Maleficent" inspired by Charles Perrault's original fairy tale and Walt Disney's animated film "Sleeping Beauty." Directed by Joachim Ronning with Angelina Jolie returning to portray the title role, the film picks up several years after "Maleficent," in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney's most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora.
Focus Features' biographical film "Harriet" opened in fourth place with 12 million dollars. Directed by Kasi Lemmons and starring Cynthia Erivo as American iconic abolitionist Harriet Tubman, the film tells the tale of Tubman who escaped slavery and devoted herself to the liberation of other enslaved people.

The Becoming: The Dragon Heart Legacy, Book 2 Nov 23, 2021
by Nora Roberts
A new epic of love and war among gods and humans, from Nora Roberts—the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Awakening.
The world of magick and the world of man have long been estranged from one another. But some can walk between the two—including Breen Siobhan Kelly. She has just returned to Talamh, with her friend, Marco, who's dazzled and disoriented by this realm—a place filled with dragons and faeries and mermaids (but no WiFi, to his chagrin). In Talamh, Breen is not the ordinary young schoolteacher he knew her as. Here she is learning to embrace the powers of her true identity. Marco is welcomed kindly by her people—and by Keegan, leader of the Fey. Keegan has trained Breen as a warrior, and his yearning for her has grown along with his admiration of her strength and skills.
But one member of Breen's bloodline is not there to embrace her. Her grandfather, the outcast god Odran, plots to destroy Talamh—and now all must unite to defeat his dark forces. There will be losses and sorrows, betrayal and bloodshed. But through it, Breen Siobhan Kelly will take the next step on the journey to becoming all that she was born to be.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts begins a new trilogy of adventure, romance, and magick in The Awakening.
In the realm of Talamh, a teenage warrior named Keegan emerges from a lake holding a sword—representing both power and the terrifying responsibility to protect the Fey. In another realm known as Philadelphia, a young woman has just discovered she possesses a treasure of her own…
When Breen Kelly was a girl, her father would tell her stories of magical places. Now she's an anxious twentysomething mired in student debt and working a job she hates. But one day she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: her mother has been hiding an investment account in her name. It has been funded by her long-lost father—and it's worth nearly four million dollars.
This newfound fortune would be life-changing for anyone. But little does Breen know that when she uses some of the money to journey to Ireland, it will unlock mysteries she couldn't have imagined. Here, she will begin to understand why she kept seeing that silver-haired, elusive man, why she imagined his voice in her head saying Come home, Breen Siobhan. It's time you came home. Why she dreamed of dragons. And where her true destiny lies—through a portal in Galway that takes her to a land of faeries and mermaids, to a man named Keegan, and to the courage in her own heart that will guide her through a powerful, dangerous destiny…

Legacy: A Novel May 25, 2021
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents Legacy, a new novel of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and romance, and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat…
Adrian Rizzo was seven when she met her father for the first time. That was the day he nearly killed her—before her mother, Lina, stepped in.
Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents' house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best friend—and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend's ten-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar business. There was no point in dwelling on the past.
A decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout videos, following in Lina's footsteps but intent on maintaining creative control. And she's just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. They aren't close, but they're cordial—as long as neither crosses the other.
But while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her daughter's growing celebrity, Adrian can't help but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep arriving—the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same. They continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes reacquainted with Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and as gorgeously green-eyed as ever. Sometimes it even seems like the terrifying messages are indeed routine, like nothing will come of them. Until the murders start, and the escalation begins…

Sacred Sins Jul 29, 2009
New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts serves up a sizzling novel of explosive suspense and sensual romance as the search for a murderer ignites passion between a beautiful psychiatrist and the sexy, brooding detective determined to crack the case.
In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital's most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies' man Detective Ben Paris.
Scarred by his family's history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as "The Priest" inexorably erode the walls they've built. They're opposites in so many ways, yet that seems only to fan the flames of attraction for which danger has supplied the spark. To stop a killer who thinks he can absolve sins through murder, Ben will need every ounce of psychological insight Tess can offer him. And she'll need the help of a lawman willing to stare fear in the face if she's going to avoid becoming the madman's next victim.

When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he's three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.
Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself—and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona's family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope—and love—alive…
