Mesothelioma Support
Mesothelioma support groups are important after diagnosis, as they can have a direct impact on your prognosis. Studies have proven that people with a strong support system typically live longer and have a better quality of life, even while fighting mesothelioma, than those without support.
Home / Mesothelioma / Mesothelioma Prognosis / Mesothelioma Support
Why Do I Need Support for Mesothelioma?
One of the primary benefits of support groups is having people to talk to who can relate to your circumstance. Even the most caring of friends and family may not have the experience or perspective to fully understand the complex emotions and physical challenges that come alongside a mesothelioma diagnosis.
There are numerous benefits of cancer support, including:
Improved survival rates
Better quality of life
New hope and inspiration
Strengthened sense of community
New friendships and social connections
Minimized isolation
Reduced stress, depression and anxiety
In fact, mesothelioma support is such an important component of survival and quality of life that cancer researchers continue to study the impacts of these support systems in clinical trials.
Many people feel that support groups "aren't for them," but almost everyone with mesothelioma needs a support system that extends beyond their family and friends. There are many forms of support that you can access, including online groups and phone-in sessions, allowing you to find the style of support that works best for you.
Mesothelioma Support Groups
Support groups for mesothelioma take many shapes and forms. First, talk to your doctor or patient coordinator to find out what support groups and systems are available close to home or within the hospital. The American Cancer Society also arranges and facilitates support groups by location, and is a good first step towards finding cancer support resources.
However, because mesothelioma is rare, you may not be able to find a support group in your local area that connects you with mesothelioma patients specifically. Mesothelioma is quite different from other cancers, and many patients want to connect with people who have a strong understanding of the disease. Fortunately, there are options for mesothelioma patients to connect online and through the phone.
Phone support groups recognize the need for mesothelioma support, regardless of location. These groups typically meet on a regular basis, using a conference line to connect.
The Meso Foundation (formerly the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation) hosts many phone support groups, geared towards patients and their caregivers. These phone calls are divided into three categories, Patient, Caregiver, and Spousal Loss, and each category typically has one call per month. These calls last an hour, and participants are vetted in advance by the Meso Foundation to ensure the privacy of all participants. You can register for these phone calls by phoning Maja Belamaric at (703) 879-3822.
The Cancer Support Community is another way of getting prognosis support by phone. counselors are available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 9 pm ET, offering free counseling and phone support. In addition to providing social and emotional support, the Cancer Support Community is also a wealth of knowledge and can share resources on a wide range of subjects including treatment planning, financial guidance and clinical trial information. If you'd like to talk to a licensed cancer counselor, call 1-888-793-9355.
Online & Facebook Support Groups
Facebook and other online groups are a fantastic way for you to connect with other mesothelioma patients whenever you need to, wherever you are. Online groups allow for ongoing and more immediate conversations than pre-scheduled phones and meetings, and many mesothelioma patients have found Facebook and other similar support groups to be highly beneficial.
A few of the mesothelioma support groups on Facebook include:
The Meso Foundation (formerly Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation) also administers several Facebook groups. Most of these groups are private, accepting new members by invitation only, to protect the participants. There is a Facebook group for Mesothelioma Warriors Survivors, one for Mesothelioma Caregiver Conversations and another for Mesothelioma Loss Support. If you'd like to join one of these Facebook groups, contact Maja Belamaric at (703) 879-3822 or through the Meso Foundation website.
The Cancer Support Community hosts a live web chat from 9 am to 9 pm ET, Monday through Friday, allowing you and your family to talk online with a licensed counselor. He or she can provide you with short-term emotional support, or help you connect with resources to overcome any challenges you may be experiencing.
Support groups aren't for everyone, while even those who enjoy groups often still appreciate the personalized care in addition to the group support. Private support can be a highly beneficial means of providing comfort in these circumstances. If you have mesothelioma, you may find that working one-on-one with a psychologist, counselor or social worker can help you get the benefits proven by strong mesothelioma support.
Comprehensive cancer centers and many other hospitals will typically provide some form of private support to those who ask for it. Talk to your doctor to find out what options are available at the hospital, and give them a try.
If you can't find the private support you're looking for within your local community, contact the American Cancer Society or the Cancer Support Community. These two organizations are excellent at connecting mesothelioma patients with the best resources in their region.
Cancer Hope Network
The Cancer Hope Network is an additional option for one-on-one support, matching cancer patients with volunteer cancer survivors. The Hope Network will match you at any stage of your diagnosis and try to find someone who overcame the same experience you're going through now. To learn more about the network and get matched with your support volunteer, call 1-877-HOPENET or (908) 879 – 6518.
Getting Support For Spouses & Family
Mesothelioma is a challenging disease to fight, and the poor prognosis rates can take a mental toll on family members too. Connecting your partner or family members with a support group of their own can also help you.
People who love you may not want to burden you with their questions, fears, frustrations, or other challenges. But it doesn't mean they don't struggle with your prognosis too. Support groups explicitly designated for family members can help your loved ones get the support they need and, in turn, they will be better at providing you with the support you need. Everyone benefits.
A few of the organizations that offer support groups to family members include:
Meso Foundation – Phone, Facebook
Cancer Hope Network – Support Volunteer
Cancer Support Community – Phone, Live Chat
American Cancer Society – Phone, Resource Connection
If your loved ones ask how to support you in your fight against mesothelioma, suggest a support group to help guide them through this challenging journey.
Other Programs for Mesothelioma Support
Navigating mesothelioma can be a daunting task. While many support group's primary functions is to help improve social and emotional health, other forms of support are often necessary too. A wide range of programs exists to help mesothelioma patients get the best care possible.
Some example support programs include:
Free or subsidized medical equipment programs
Transportation to and from treatment
Accommodation or temporary housing arrangements
Insurance explanations and budgeting guidance
Palliative or end-of-life care options
Legal compensation for asbestos exposure
If you'd like to connect with resources to help with any of the above, or other similar needs, contact the American Cancer Society's helpline at 1-800-277-2345 and they will help you get started.
For additional support, please get in touch with our Mesothelioma Justice Support Team. We work exclusively with victims of asbestos-related diseases and their family members and can connect you with the resources you need to fight this battle against mesothelioma.

Supreme Court finds that employees not granted right to continue employment with new contractor
Employment & Benefits Italy
In Decision 11247/2016, the Supreme Court stated that in the case of a change of contractor, employees of the previous contractor are not automatically granted the right to continue their employment relationship with the new contractor, as provided for by Article 2112 of the Civil Code, which relates to the transfer of an undertaking.
The case concerned the termination of a parking service contract by an Italian municipality, which had agreed a new contract with an in-house company. After the municipality had terminated the service contract, the previous contractor dismissed the employees assigned to the parking service. The employees challenged the dismissals as null and void.
The Supreme Court affirmed that the dismissals did not violate Article 2112(4) of the Civil Code, which prohibits dismissals due to the transfer of an undertaking in line with Article 4 of the EU Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Directive (2001/23/EC). A dismissal based on the transfer of an undertaking is null and void only if the dismissed employee is granted the right to continue his or her employment relationship with the transferee of the undertaking, in accordance with Article 2112 of Civil Code and the EU Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Directive. Instead, in the case of a change of contractor, the employee is not granted such a right if the new contractor acquires none of the tangible or intangible assets of the previous contractor. In such cases, the legal requirement for a transfer of undertaking will not be met.
Even if the national collective bargaining agreement applicable to the new contractor provides that the latter must hire the previous contractor's employees, this commitment does not constitute a transfer of undertaking as defined by Italian legislation.
The principle affirmed by Decision 11274/2016 follows Article 29(3) of Decree-Law 276/03, which excludes the application of the EU Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Directive in the case of a change of contractor when the new firm has its own business structure. According to the Supreme Court, Article 29(3) of Decree-Law 276/03 complies with EU regulations because, under the EU Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Directive, member states do not need to extend the safeguard of employees' rights to a change of contractor.
The Supreme Court stated that in the case of the transfer of part of an undertaking, the assets transferred to the transferee must be a functionally autonomous part of the business when the transfer takes place, without the possibility to create a new organisational structure when the transfer occurs.
In Supreme Court Decision 1316/2017, a call centre comprising furniture, 304 personal computers, phones, headsets, printers and network equipment and 268 employees was not considered to be part of an undertaking. According to the court, the seller's decision to retain the client's databases, the software to access and operate those databases and employees dedicated to the transfer of clients constituted an unlawful segmentation of a part of the undertaking and the employees could not be transferred to the transferee without their consent.
The principle affirmed by Decision 1316/2017 does not appear to comply with Article 2112(5) of the Civil Code, as amended by Decree-Law 276/2003, which allows a transferor and transferee to identify the part of an undertaking to be transferred at the moment of the transfer. Further, European Court of Justice Decision C-458/12 held that this provision complies with EU law, and that the regime governing the transfer of business units applies to parts of the company which become independent at the time of the transfer.

Tigers' finals dream relies too much on others
By Campaspe News
Rochester's run home: With the second half of the split round to play out this week, the Tigers will be coming up against Seymour (9th, 6-9).
The Lions have been an unpredictable team so far this season.
They are able to produce incredible games like they did against Benalla, but have also been on the end of 100-point thrashings.
The Lions have a lot of Rochy about them — their best is very good, but they are somewhat inconsistent.
On the road for their game, the Tigers know they cannot lose this game.
The following week, the Tigers take on Shepp United (10th, 4-11).
United is finished in terms of any chance of playing finals this season, but it will still be out to prove a point.
The Demons have a couple of wins under their belts this season, but will still be looking to win another.
However, we believe this is a winnable game for the Tigers, and they should get the result.
The problem in terms of the Tigers season is they have to finish the season against Kyabram (1st, 16-0).
If everything were to go the Tigers' way for the rest of the season, it would still mean that to play finals, the Tigers have to beat Kyabram.
And while we have faith in the Tigers, there is no bigger challenge in football than Kyabram.
This is a huge challenge.
The contenders: If Rochester is going to play finals, it will be relying on two teams above them to play along.
Mansfield (6th, 8-7-1) made things a bit more difficult on Saturday by playing out a draw with Tatura (5th, 9-6-1).
The result leaves the Eagles two-and-a-half wins clear of the Tigers with two games remaining for the Eagles.
If the Tigers were to somehow win their last three games, they would need Mansfield to lose its remaining two games — against Seymour and Shepp United.
The Tigers will also be relying on Euroa (7th, 8-8) to not win a game.
The Magpies suffered a loss at the hands of Echuca in the dying moments of Saturday's game, which helps the Tigers to an extent.
The problem is their opponents.
Euroa faces Shepp Swans (12th, 0-16) and Shepparton (2nd, 12-3) to finish off its season.
In theory, if Euroa only just got over the line against the Swans and was belted by the Bears, the eight-point percentage gap could be closed.
Conclusion: There is no sugar coating this — the Tigers are in serious trouble.
If you get to this point in the season and you are relying on other results to go your way, you have serious problems.
Rochester has played some good football this season, especially considering its off-season losses.
But the truth is — Rochy's finals campaign can be kissed goodbye at this point.

Texas A&M cancels white supremacist rally set for Sept. 11
By Lindsay Ellis and St. John Barned-Smith
Updated 8:17 am CDT, Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Professor C.

Texas A&M University abruptly cancelled a White Lives Matter rally planned by an outside organizer days after deadly violence rattled Charlottesville near the University of Virginia's campus.
University administrators consulted with law enforcement, system leaders, regents and state officials before cancelling the rally that had been set for Sept. 11, officials said Monday.
Preston Wiginton, a one-time Texas A&M student, announced on Saturday that he would host a White Lives Matter event in College Station on Sept. 11. The announcement came as the "Unite the Right" protest was under way in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"Today Charlottesville, Tomorrow Texas A&M," he said in a press release.
A&M officials said the planned protest raised safety concerns after the violence in Virginia.
"Linking the tragedy of Charlottesville to the Texas A&M event creates a major security risk on our campus," officials said in a statement Monday afternoon.
The rally in Virginia turned deadly Saturday after a man slammed his car into counter-protesters, killing one person and injuring 19 others, including a Houston woman who is a student at UVA.
The 20-year-old Ohio man charged with second-degree murder in the car crash has been linked to a white supremacist organization, Vanguard America, that has posted hate-filled flyers at synagogues, and universities in Houston, across Texas and beyond.
HoustonChronicle.com: Campuses are targets of alt-right speakers. How should they respond?
The planned September event would have brought white nationalist Richard Spencer back to campus for a second time along with Ken Reed, a White Lives Matter representative from the Houston area. Wiginton said Monday he expected to pursue legal action following the cancellation.
"They think they're above the law," he said. "The First Amendment in America doesn't mean anything."
A&M officials defended the decision to cancel the event in light of the violence in Charlottesville.
In addition to safety concerns, A&M officials said Monday the daylong event would have challenged class schedules and the movement of students, faculty and staff.
"Texas A&M's support of the First Amendment and the freedom of speech cannot be questioned," the university said in a statement.
Spencer first spoke at A&M in December. Then, university officials said they could not block him from speaking on campus, citing the First Amendment.
In December, Wiginton organized an event featuring Spencer, who spouted racist views and drew hundreds of protesters to the campus.
"America, at the end of the day, belongs to white men," Spencer said.
Instead of cancelling the December event, A&M held a school-sanctioned event called Aggies United on the football field nearby.
University officials cited the First Amendment in deciding not to call off the event, despite enormous opposition.
Texas A&M President Michael Young said at the time that Spencer was legally allowed to "express odious, reprehensible ideas" as long as he followed university rules on time, place and manner of speech and did not incite violence.
The latest event would have disrupted the campus, interfering with the movement of students, faculty and staff, officials said.
"On Dec. 6, 2016 the university and law enforcement allowed the same speaker the opportunity to share his views, taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure a peaceful event," according to the university statement. "However, in this case, circumstances and information relating to the event have changed and the risks of threat to life and safety compel us to cancel the event."
A&M Regent Tony Buzbee, a Houston attorney, said in an email he supported administrators' decision to call off the event.
"We're living in a new age," he said by phone before the event was cancelled. "People show up to a so-called peaceful rally, and they're wearing helmets, holding shields and billy clubs. That's not a peaceful rally."
He added, "If we have evidence that the people are coming to be violent ... then not only should we act, I think we have an obligation to."
Students had already planned a "Maroon Wall" to "show that the Aggie Family's commitment to its own is far greater than any force trying to divide us," attracting interest from thousands of people, including other Texas students.
Another event, dubbed "BTHO Hate," was also planned to rally students against white supremacist messages.
"It is clear that the event posed a danger to the student body and Texas A&M did the right thing to protect its students," student organizer Adam Key said in an email.
State Rep. John Raney, R-Bryan/College Station, first announced the event's cancellation on the House floor Monday in the State Capitol, shortly after other representatives urged Chancellor John Sharp to call off the event.
Raney, an Aggie from the class of 1969, said Sharp called him to tell him the event had been cancelled amid safety concerns after people commented on social media they would be bringing firearms.
"I know there are, I guess you'd say, free speech issues," Raney said. "But this was not done on a free-speech basis. It was done on a safety-of-the-students basis. I think that's appropriate.
"There's no reason to put any of those kids in harm's way for a reason that's ridiculous in the first place," he said.
Gov. Greg Abbott's office also weighed in, working with the university "to prevent the type of hate-filled event that we saw in Charlottesville," according to a statement.
The white supremacist group, Vanguard America, was among dozens of nationalistic and neo-Nazi groups that turned out in Charlottesville for the weekend rally there.
Vanguard America has denied that the car's driver, James Alex Fields Jr., had ties to the organization, though he was seen wearing insignia and holding an organization shield during protests earlier in the day.
Vanguard America has a history of spreading hate in Houston, taping anti-Semitic flyers to signs, doors and gates at two Houston synagogues on July 16, according to a report by the Anti-Defamation league.
The group also participated in a protest over false reports about the possible removal of a statue of Sam Houston monument in Houston's Hermann Park.
"Vanguard America (VA) is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes that America is an exclusively white nation," according to the ADL's report. "Using a right-wing nationalist slogan, Blood and Soil, VA romanticizes the notion that people with 'white blood' have a special bond with 'American soil.'"
The ADL report says the group focuses on recruiting young man and has targeted its outreach to American college campuses.

Nonenzymatic glycation of proteins occurs at an accelerated rate in diabetes and can lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products of proteins (AGEs), which bind to mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) and induce chemotaxis. We have isolated two cell surface-associated binding proteins that mediate the interaction of AGEs with bovine endothelial cells. One of these proteins is a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of receptors (termed receptor for AGEs or RAGE); and the second is a lactoferrin-like polypeptide (LF-L). Using monospecific antibodies to these two AGE-binding proteins, we detected immunoreactive material on Western blots of detergent extracts from human MPs. Radioligand-binding studies demonstrated that antibody to the binding proteins blocked 125I-AGE-albumin binding and endocytosis by MPs. Chemotaxis of human MPs induced by soluble AGE-albumin was prevented in a dose-dependent manner by intact antibodies raised to the AGE-binding proteins, F(ab')2 fragments of these antibodies and by soluble RAGE. When MP migration in response to N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe was studied in a chemotaxis chamber with AGE-albumin adsorbed to the upper surface of the chamber membrane, movement of MPs to the lower compartment was decreased because of interaction of the glycated proteins with RAGE and LF-L on the cell surface. The capacity of AGEs to attract and retain MPs was shown by implanting polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh impregnated with AGE-albumin into rats: within 4 d a florid mononuclear cell infiltrate was evident in contrast to the lack of a significant cellular response to PTFE with adsorbed native albumin. These data indicate that RAGE and LF-L have a central role in the interaction of AGEs with human mononuclear cells and that AGEs can serve as a nidus to attract MPs in vivo.

Friday on The Robert Scott Bell Show:
Is Sunscreen the New Margarine? How did we get it so wrong? How could people with low vitamin D levels clearly suffer higher rates of so many diseases and yet not be helped by supplementation? As it turns out, a rogue band of researchers has had an explanation all along. And if they're right, it means that once again we have been epically misled. These rebels argue that what made the people with high vitamin D levels so healthy was not the vitamin itself. That was just a marker. Their vitamin D levels were high because they were getting plenty of exposure to the thing that was really responsible for their good health—that big orange ball shining down from above. One of the leaders of this rebellion is a mild-mannered dermatologist at the University of Edinburgh named Richard Weller. For years, Weller swallowed the party line about the destructive nature of the sun's rays. "I'm not by nature a rebel," he insisted when I called him up this fall. "I was always the good boy that toed the line at school. This pathway is one which came from following the data rather than a desire to overturn apple carts."
Questions of The Day!
Hey Robert….I love your show….I have a question about myself. I went Organic about a year ago. I find myself very sensitive to everything. My skin has eczema and I can't find a way to counter act this condition. Help please. I think I've tried almost everything.
Thanks for everything you do.
Hi Robert, I am wondering if you could possibly help me out. I am a little over overwhelmed in trying to figure out the best way to get a degree in holistic nutrition. I'm currently attending a community college in my area and do not wish to further my education towards a dietetics degree any longer. Would you recommend any (holistic/natural) nutrition schools or know of any? Should I even be concerned with finding a holistic nutrition school that is not certified by the U.S Dept of Education? Or any advice in general regarding my situation. Thanks in advance.
Hey guys I love the show and appreciate all you do,
My mom has rheumatoid arthritis and I want to get her off of those immune suppressing drugs… She is still in the beginning stage of it and I know there has to be a natural way to beat it…do you have any suggestions or know of anyone that could help?
Oral-B dental floss linked to toxic chemicals, study claims If your New Year's resolution involved flossing, you may want to do your homework on what brand to buy before you stock up. According to a study conducted by the Silent Spring Institute and Public Health Institute in Berkeley, the popular Oral-B Glide floss may be exposing you to elevated levels of toxic chemicals. Specifically, the authors are concerned about the product containing perfluorooctanesulfonic acids (PFAS), The New York Post reported. However, a spokesman for Oral-B refuted the study's findings after it was published. "We have confirmed none of the substances in the report are used in our dental floss," the Oral-B spokesman said, in a statement emailed to Fox News. "The safety of the people who use our products is our top priority. Our dental floss undergoes thorough safety testing and we stand behind the safety of all our products."
Legislature: Baby on Board Oregon could become first state with universal home visits for families of all babies. One of the more ambitious items tucked into Gov. Kate Brown's agenda for 2019 is a home-visitation program for the families of new infants. All new infants. If enacted, Oregon would be the first state to provide up to three visits by a nurse or a similar health professional to every family with a new child. North Carolina has run a pilot program providing a similar service. But no state has a program as universal as the one envisioned for Oregon. The proposal is in Gov. Kate Brown's budget for 2019-21. The proposed budget by Ways & Means — the Legislature's budget-writing body — has not yet been set. But one of the people running that committee, Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward of Beaverton, said universal home visits are a priority for her.
Diet Soda Linked to Risk for Diabetic Blindness Drinking diet soda may raise the risk for a severe type of diabetic eye disease that can lead to blindness, a new study says. The study, published in Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, is the first to evaluate the link between soft drinks and what's called proliferative diabetic retinopathy. "In our clinical sample of people with diabetes, consuming more than four cans, or 1.5 liters, of diet soft drinks per week was associated with a twofold increased risk of having proliferative diabetic retinopathy," first author Eva Fenwick, PhD, told Medscape Medical News. Fenwick is a clinical research fellow at the Singapore Eye Research Institute and an assistant professor at the Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore. The study did not find the same results among those who drank regular, sugar-sweetened soft drinks.
A painful disease once known for afflicting wealthy kings is making a comeback, and fad diets like keto maybe partly to blame Feast like a king, and you could get gout like one too. The condition, a type of inflammatory arthritis, can arise when people load up on purine-rich foods and drinks — things like bacon, steak, scallops, veal, and alcohol. Eating and drinking too much of this stuff can cause harmful stores of uric acid to build up in our joints. That buildup can lead to sudden, painful gout symptoms in the hands and feet. Gout has been identified clinically since at least the time of ancient Egyptians, around 2640 BC. Traditionally, this form of arthritis affected only the small sliver of society that could afford rich meats and sugary alcohols — hence its reputation as the "disease of kings." But no more. Gout is making a comeback across the US. The Lewin Group, a healthcare consulting firm, estimated in 2006 that the prevalence of gout across the country would increase by 38% by 2025. The condition already affects more than one in 25 Americans and is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation.
Al Roker Slams Jillian Michaels For 'Bullying' In Bitter Keto Conflict Al Roker ripped into Jillian Michaels in a bitter battle of the bulge, calling her out for her latest diet advice and slamming her for "bullying" while she was a Biggest Loser coach. The NBC TODAY Show host, who has struggled with his weight for decades and admitted he was 340 pounds at his heaviest, wrote a nasty Tweet about Michaels' latest health take where she slammed the keto diet in an interview. "So @JillianMichaels says #Keto is a bad idea. This from a woman who promoted on camera bullying , deprivation, manipulation and more weekly in the name of weight loss. Now those sound like bad ideas," Roker wrote. Michael's was a trainer for multiple seasons on the 10-year run of NBC's The Biggest Loser , which Roker, also an NBC employee, pointed out in his tweet. Michaels gave an interview where she ripped the trendy keto diet, saying: "I don't understand. Like, why would anyone think this is a good idea?" she told Women's Health magazine.
Researchers confirm links between aggressive prostate cancer and hereditary breast cancer Aggressive prostate cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in men, is associated with BRCA2 mutations, which are also linked to hereditary breast cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreas cancer, among others. The finding was confirmed in a study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, led by Elena Castro, Nuria Romero-Laorden and David Olmos, from the Prostate Cancer Clinical Research Unit at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO). It reveals that family members of patients with prostate cancer who carry BRCA2 and DNA-repair gene mutations have an increased risk of developing cancer and should be evaluated in familial cancer prevention programmes.

I am a physicist by education and work in industrial research so I consider myself at the same time able to understand the physical concepts underlying climate change and not an expert in any way. Because it is very important to say that experts in any scientific/research field are not clever minds that understand the basic theories by magic means, experts are the ones collecting data, working with them, knowing the research trends in the field and debating each other results. And scientific experts publish their work in peer reviewed journals. I have been lucky to publish scarcely in another area but not in climate, regrettably I think this also happens with some pretended "experts".

Review of 'The Sacredness of Human Life' by David P. Gushee
David P. Gushee, The Sacredness of Human Life: Why an Ancient Biblical Vision Is Key to the World's Future (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2013). $35.00, 478 pages.
Many American churches (including my fellowship, the Assemblies of God) designate the third Sunday of January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. President Ronald Reagan established this tradition by executive proclamation in January 1984. It falls on the third Sunday of January, because that day is the closest to the January 22nd date of the Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, which legalized abortion in all 50 states. Reagan's proclamation encouraged Americans "to give thanks for the gift of life, and to reaffirm our commitment to the dignity of every human being and the sanctity of each human life," which is a broad commitment. However, its preceding paragraphs dealt solely with abortion. Unsurprisingly, then, the day has been affirmed by pro-life presidents (Reagan and both Bushes) but ignored by pro-choice presidents (Clinton and Obama).
The use of "sanctity of life" terminology by pro-lifers creates a dilemma for "social justice"—i.e., progressive—Christians. On the one hand, they too are anti-abortion. On the other hand, they believe that "sanctity of life"—i.e., conservative—evangelicals, who are uniformly anti-abortion, are insufficiently pro-life on other issues, such as the death penalty, health and welfare, nuclear weapons, torture, war, and women's rights. Using "sanctity of life" terminology seems to align "social justice" Christians with conservative evangelical politics and thus to alienate them from other progressives, both of which outcomes are undesirable to them. Hence, "social justice" Christians have tended to shy away from "sanctity of life" terminology.
David P. Gushee is distinguished university professor of Christian ethics and director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as a progressive evangelical from the Baptist tradition. In The Sacredness of Human Life, Gushee diffuses the progressives' dilemma by outlining the history and applicability of a "sacredness of life" ethic. By exchanging the word sacredness for sanctity, Gushee offers a theological ground for a progressive Christian ethic of life that distinguishes it from conservative Christian politics.
Framing Gushee's book in terms of this dilemma does not detract from its value for all Christian readers, however—including conservative evangelicals. What Gushee offers in this book is not, first and foremost, a brief for progressive Christian ethics, although it includes that too (chapter 10, especially). It is, rather, the archaeological excavation of an idea—the sacredness of human life—through various layers of Christian history.
In successive chapters, Gushee shows how Christians built a sacredness-of-life ethic on the foundations of Jewish and Christian Scriptures (chapters 2 and 3, respectively). In early Christianity, this "moral vision" included opposition to war, abortion, infanticide, torture, and the Roman arena; as well as affirmation of peace, piety, impartiality, and help for the poor (chapter 4). The conversion of Constantine to Christianity in A.D. 312, which symbolized the cooption of the Church by the State, blurred this moral vision (chapter 5). This resulted in a "Christendom divided against itself," which Gushee illustrates through three vignettes: Francis of Assisi vs. the Crusades, Bartolome de Las Casas vs. La Conquista, and Baptist Richard Overton's advocacy of religious freedom vs. Christendom's systematic persecution of Jews (chapter 6). As the Enlightenment dawned, philosophers such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant retained much of the substance of this Christian ethic, even as they shifted the grounding of that ethic from biblical revelation to autonomous reason (chapter 7). But as Friedrich Nietzsche argued, "When one gives up Christian belief one therefore deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality." Gushee outlines Nietzsche's systematic deconstruction of Christian morality, especially its emphasis on the sacredness of life (chapter 8). The costs of the loss of that Christian moral vision were staggering. Chapter 9 uses the Nazis as an example of the catastrophic consequences of—quoting J. A. S. Greenville—"a contempt for the sacredness of life" (chapter 9).
Only after completing this archaeological excavation does Gushee outline the progressive implications of a sacredness-of-life ethic: anti-abortion, worried about biotechnological innovations, anti-death penalty, pro-human rights, anti-nuclear weapons, and pro-women's rights (chapter 10). Had this chapter been earlier in the book, I—a politically conservative evangelical—might have dismissed it as a progressive Christian talking the standard progressive line. By placing it near the end of the book, however, Gushee forced me to look again at these issues, but in a brighter historical light. Given the misuse of political power, the depredations of war, and the abuse of capital punishment—especially in the twentieth century, but also during the era of Christendom—Christians need to cast a far more critical eye on the state's power to kill. This doesn't commit Christians to pacifism, however. Gushee does not seem to be one; I certainly am not.
Moreover, Gushee is quite right that "life" issues need to encompass the quality of life. Though his discussion of women's rights occupies a mere five pages of the book (pages 382-387), Gushee argues persuasively (to my mind, anyway) that "the sacredness of life in the twenty-first century requires full engagement with global women's rights issues. Citing Half the Sky by husband-and-wife team Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Gushee highlights "three primary areas": "sex trafficking/forced prostitution, gender-based violence against women, and maternal mortality." One of the difficulties for conservative evangelical readers is that talk of women's rights is usually associated with a pro-choice position on abortion. To this, I can only second Gushee's plea: "Surely Christians can demonstrate the intelligence to separate issues that are intrinsically distinct from one another." I certainly hope so.
As in all books of this length and depth of learning, readers will find themselves disagreeing with this or that factual assertion, biblical interpretation, or ethical conclusion. I certainly did. You will too. But I agree with and was profoundly challenged by its fundamental insight that "God has consecrated each and every human being—without exception and in all circumstances—as a unique, incalculably precious being of elevated status and dignity." This "moral reality" entails the "moral task" of "adopting a posture of reverence" and "accepting responsibility for the sacred gift that is a human life."
Next Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, keep both the reality and the task in mind, not only regarding the child in the womb, but also regarding your neighbor…and even your enemy.

Antonio Brown accuser 'passed' lie-detector test – New York Post
The personal trainer accusing Antonio Brown of rape said that she's passed a lie-detector test backing up her claims and is reportedly ready to present her allegations to the NFL.
"The polygraph examination confirmed her completely truthful account that, in June 2017, Brown ejaculated on her without her consent and that, in May 2018, that Brown raped her," according to the federal filing submitted Tuesday in Florida court by Britney Taylor.
Taylor, 28, met Brown at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting at Central Michigan University in 2010, then reconnected in 2017 when Brown reached out for "help improving flexibility," according to the suit.
Within a month of their reunion, Brown, 31, allegedly accosted Taylor, bursting in on her while she was changing and kissing her against her will, the suit claims.
Thinking she'd clarified the terms of their relationship, Taylor stuck by Brown, and they fell into old habits.
"As they had during their college Christian fellowship days, they often read scriptures, prayed or watched services together during training visits," according to the suit.
While they watched one religious video, Brown furtively masturbated behind Taylor and ejaculated onto her back, the suit alleges.
They reconciled again in May 2018, but shortly thereafter Brown allegedly "pinned her down" and raped her, according to the suit.
"Taylor . . . is willing and planning to meet with the NFL next week, which is as soon as she can," tweeted ESPN football reporter Adam Schefter on Wednesday, noting that first Taylor is getting married.

Question: Can benzene cause testicular cancer?
What cancers are caused by benzene?
When did benzene cause cancer?
Can benzene cause squamous cell carcinoma?
What age group is at highest risk of testicular cancer?
How bad is benzene for you?
Where is benzene found in the home?
How long does benzene stay in your body?
What is the smell of benzene?
How does benzene enter the body?
Can benzene cause brain tumors?
How does benzene act on the central nervous system?
What sunscreens have benzene in them?
What are 5 warning signs of testicular cancer?
What is a man's lifetime risk of dying from testicular cancer?
IARC classifies benzene as "carcinogenic to humans," based on sufficient evidence that benzene causes acute myeloid leukemia (AML). IARC also notes that benzene exposure has been linked with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Benzene-induced cancer in humans was first reported in the late 1920s. Carcinogenesis findings in animals were not reported conclusively until 1979.
Benzene caused tumours of the haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, Zymbal gland carcinoma, oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, and forestomach carcinoma in situ in gavage studies and in the offspring after inhalation.
Testis cancer is most common in men in their late 20s and early 30s, with an average age of diagnosis of 33 years old. In fact, testis cancer is the most common malignancy among men 20 to 40 years old.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Who Should Cancer not be friends with?
(Long-term exposure means exposure of a year or more.) Benzene causes harmful effects on the bone marrow and can cause a decrease in red blood cells, leading to anemia. It can also cause excessive bleeding and can affect the immune system, increasing the chance for infection.
Benzene is produced naturally by volcanoes and forest fires. In homes, benzene may be found in glues, adhesives, cleaning products, paint strippers, tobacco smoke and gasoline. Most benzene in the environment comes from our use of petroleum products. Benzene quickly evaporates from water or soil.
Benzene is converted to products, called metabolites, in the liver and bone marrow. Some of the harmful effects of benzene exposure are caused by these metabolites. Most of the metabolites of benzene leave the body in the urine within 48 hours after exposure.
Benzene has a sweet, aromatic, gasoline-like odor. Most individuals can begin to smell benzene in air at 1.5 to 4.7 ppm. The odor threshold generally provides adequate warning for acutely hazardous exposure concentrations but is inadequate for more chronic exposures.
Benzene can enter your body through your lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and across your skin. When you are exposed to high levels of benzene in air, about half of the benzene you breathe in passes through the lining of your lungs and enters your bloodstream.
The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, has found a link between parents' exposure to chemicals such as benzene, toluene, and trichloroethylene and brain tumours in their children.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Best answer: Is obesity a major risk factor for cancer?
Animal studies provide additional support that benzene affects the nervous system following acute inhalation and oral exposures, albeit at extremely high acute exposure levels. Effects reported include narcosis, nervous system depression, tremors, and convulsions.
Which sunscreens contain benzene?
Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50.
Babyganics Kid's Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 50.
Banana Boat Kids' Max Protect & Play Sunscreen, SPF 100.
Banana Boat Kids' Sport Sunscreen Lotion Spray, SPF 50.
Five Common Signs of Testicular Cancer
A painless lump, swelling or enlargement of one or both testes.
Pain or heaviness in the scrotum.
A dull ache or pressure in the groin, abdomen or low back.
A general feeling of malaise, including unexplained fatigue, fever, sweating, coughing, shortness of breath or mild chest pains.
This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 8% occur in men over the age of 55. Because testicular cancer usually can be treated successfully, a man's lifetime risk of dying from this cancer is very low: about 1 in 5,000 .

O'Connor also served as president of the United States Equestrian Federation for eight years. Today he continues to train young riders in eventing and riding.
The video below includes tips directly from David O'Connor that you can put to work in your riding. There is always room to improve as a rider, and jumping is a particularly challenging discipline. Here, O'Connor goes over some of the fundamentals of jumping, shows examples of a horse and rider, and gives you tips to improve your own riding. Check it out!
If you're serious about improving your jumping skills, then be sure to focus on your flatwork, too. Flatwork is essential to being able to effectively navigate a course, and an excellent command of your flatwork allows you and your horse to better communicate. Stride control, rhythm, balance, collection, and more all come from your time spent on the flat. Additionally, flatwork is a low-impact activity - by spending time working on the flat, you're saving your horse's joints, ligaments, and tendons from the added strain of jumping.
Want more riding advice from top trainers and riders? While training one-on-one with David O'Connor himself might not be a practical option, you can still access training from top riders.
Consider riding in or auditing a clinic offered locally. If you're truly serious about your riding career, then a working student position with a top rider may be a good option. And don't forget that many trainers are now releasing books and DVDs of their own training methods, so you can easily access information on their riding approaches and theories.
Have fun jumping your next course!

Moliere's Plays: Tartuffe: In Contemporary American English
by Marciano Guerrero (Editor), Marymarc Translations (Translator), Moliere
The religious Madame Pernelle decides to leave her son Orgon's house because she finds their behavior immoral and decadent. Damis (her grandson) is a brat, and her granddaughter Mariane, a weakling. Moliere puts in Madame Pernelle's mouth the now famous saying about 'still waters' - "Good-luck! Grand-daughter, you play the prude, and to look at you, butter would not melt in your mouth. But still waters run deep, as the saying goes. And I do not like your clever doings at all." In contrast, she sees the new houseguest, ... Read More
The religious Madame Pernelle decides to leave her son Orgon's house because she finds their behavior immoral and decadent. Damis (her grandson) is a brat, and her granddaughter Mariane, a weakling. Moliere puts in Madame Pernelle's mouth the now famous saying about 'still waters' - "Good-luck! Grand-daughter, you play the prude, and to look at you, butter would not melt in your mouth. But still waters run deep, as the saying goes. And I do not like your clever doings at all." In contrast, she sees the new houseguest, Tartuffe, as an admirable character. Tartuffe has been invited to stay by the house's master Orgon, who is very much taken in by Tartuffe's deep piety. Contrary to what the master believes, the rest of the family sees Tartuffe to be a fraud and a liar. The servant Dorine and the others discuss how they might convince Orgon that Tartuffe is manipulating him. As the play progresses, we see that Tartuffe's exterior conduct and rhetoric has great influence on Orgon-the master of the household. In short, Tartuffe leads Orgon "by the nose." The close association jeopardizes the tranquility of the house: Mariane -in love with Valere- is now pressed by her father top marry Tartuffe. But Dorine (the servant) has a plan. She wants Elmire to control Tartuffe, since it is clear that he lusts after her. Tartuffe, alone with Elmire, takes some liberties, which confirms what Dorine suspected. When Damis and Elmire inform Orgon about Tartuffe's liberties, Orgon refuses to believe the accusation. What is even more ironic, he names Tartuffe his heir; not only that: he even shares a grave political secret with him. To prove that Tartuffe is a hypocrite and lecherous man who has made sexual advances to her, Elmire lures Tartuffe into a sexual encounter; an act that takes place within Orgon's hidden presence. Seeing Tartuffe's less than pious and less than noble conduct, Orgon turns him out of the house. Tartuffe leaves, but not without threating Orgon with taking away all his property, and landing him in jail. Tartuffe carries out his threat and a court official -Monsieur Loyal-, appears to confiscate the property and enforce a warrant for Orgon's arrest. But, a police officer of the King arrives with Tartuffe. The resolution is quite surprising as the police officer suddenly arrests Tartuffe, explaining that the King knew about the hypocrite's record. Read Less

Pedro Miguel Barbosa Queirós, plus connu sous le nom de Pedro Queirós, est un footballeur portugais, né le  à Santo Tirso. Il évolue au poste de défenseur droit.

Carrière

Les débuts

Pedro Queirós parcours sa formation avec le FC Tirsense qu'il quittera à ses dix-neuf ans pour rejoindre le Desportivo Aves.

Desportivo Aves
Il est recruté au mercato estival, sous les ordres de Carlos Gomes en provenance de l'équipe junior du FC Tirsense. Jeune joueur prometteur, il n'est pas titulaire mais il obtient quelques convocations, sans parvenir à rentrer sur le terrain. Son entraîneur est limogé, et l'arrivée de José Gomes a permis par la même occasion à Pedro de faire sa grande première en professionnel. Placé titulaire pour son premier match, il joue l'intégralité de la rencontre le  face au AD Ovarense (0-3) pendant un match de championnat de deuxième division. Pedro jouera une nouvelle fois la journée suivante, avant de ne plus être appelée jusqu'à la fin de la saison. Laissant un total de deux matches jouées sous les couleurs du Desportivo Aves.

Sporting Braga en réserve
Il ne reste pas plus longtemps à Aves, il rejoint à la foulée le Sporting Braga ou il évolue en équipe réserve. Pour sa première saison il dispute toutefois quatorze rencontres et un but à son compteur en championnat. Pour sa deuxième saison, il en devient même un titulaire indiscutable mais cette fois-il joue vingt deux rencontres de championnat. Au total il évolue trente six rencontres sous les couleurs de Braga, sans avoir la chance de jouer une rencontre avec l'équipe première.

Torre Moncorvo

Pedro rejoint le GD Torre de Moncorvo peu après son transfert en provenance de Braga. Ses statistiques sont inconnues pendant ces deux saisons passées au club en évoluant en quatrième division portugaise.

Gloria Bistrița
Pedro rejoint la première division roumaine, et c'est le Gloria Bistrița qui lui donne l'opportunité. Avec le Gloria il jouera une rencontre avec ses nouvelles couleurs, pendant la  de championnat le  face au CFR Cluj (1-2), il y joue l'intégralité de la rencontre. La fin de la moitié de saison arrive et il ne joue pas plus, à la foulée il résilie son contrat en compagnie d'Emerson qui lui aussi jouera pratiquement pas.

Paços de Ferreira
Libre de tout contrat pendant le mercato hivernal, c'est le Paços de Ferreira qui s'intéresse fortement à lui. Il rejoint les castors pendant la période des transferts et devient ainsi la doublure de Ricardo. Il n'a pas d'espaces de jeu, malgré deux convocations il ne rentre pas sur le terrain une seule fois jusqu'à la fin de saison. La saison suivante il débute les qualifications de Ligue Europa avec le Paços. Il fait toutefois une rentrée, à une minute de la fin face au Zimbru Chișinău (1-0) le . Sans temps de jeu, il est immédiatement envoyée en prêt pendant le mercato.

UD Oliveirense
Peu avant le début du championnat, il est envoyé en prêt en compagnie de Jorginho Sousa en direction du UD Oliveirense. Pedro ne joue pas les premiers matchs du championnat laissant place à Armando sur le terrain. Peu convaincant, c'est au tour de Pedro d'avoir sa chance, et depuis il ne perd plus sa place de titulaire jusqu'à la fin de la saison. À la fin de la saison il aura fait un total de trente matches toutes compétitions confondues avec le Oliveirense.

Retour à Paços
Il fait son retour à Paços, après une bonne saison passée avec le UD Oliveirense. Pedro espère plus de temps de jeu pour cette saison mais Rui Vitória préfère sa nouvelle recrue Baiano sur le terrain, plutôt qu'à lui. Cependant il aura joué son premier match en première division, lors de la première journée de championnat, le  face au Sporting (1-0). La suite il la passe la plupart de son temps sur le banc et ne fera pas plus que sept matches toutes compétitions confondues à la fin de la saison. Pedro insatisfait résilie son contrat à la fin de la saison.

Feirense
Une des priorités du CD Feirense était de se renforcer au poste de défenseur droit. Marco Cadete étant trop âgée et sur le départ, Pedro Queirós est une des préférences de Quim Machado. Étant libre de tout contrat il renforce le club pour deux saisons. Il gagne très rapidement sa place dans l'équipe et il devient même un titulaire indiscutable. Pedro joue pratiquement chaque rencontre de championnat, et il y inscrit également son premier but en première division face à l'União de Leiria (4-0) le  qui aura évolué à huit dès le coup d'envoi à la suite d'une grève menée par une majorité des joueurs de Leiria. Cependant il ne parvient pas à sauver le Feirense de la relégation, Pedro en est actuellement à trente rencontres pour un but avec le Feirense depuis son arrivée.

Another part of the field.
O, where's young Talbot? where is valiant John?
My Icarus, my blossom, in his pride.
Servant. O, my dear lord, lo, where your son is borne!
In thy despite shall 'scape mortality.
Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath!
Imagine him a Frenchman and thy foe.
My spirit can no longer bear these harms.
Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave.
We should have found a bloody day of this.
Did flesh his puny sword in Frenchmen's blood!
He left me proudly, as unworthy fight.
Of the most bloody nurser of his harms!
Whose life was England's glory, Gallia's wonder.
To know who hath obtained the glory of the day.
We English warriors wot not what it means.
And to survey the bodies of the dead.
But tell me whom thou seek'st.
Of all his wars within the realm of France?
Joan la Pucelle. Here is a silly stately style indeed!
Writes not so tedious a style as this.
Stinking and fly-blown lies here at our feet.
That I in rage might shoot them at your faces!
O, that I could but call these dead to life!
It would amaze the proudest of you all.
And give them burial as beseems their worth.
They would but stink, and putrefy the air.
Charles, King of France. Go, take their bodies hence.
Charles, King of France. So we be rid of them, do with 'em what thou wilt.
All will be ours, now bloody Talbot's slain.

Grants and Contributions
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Modern Medieval
The Middle Ages still have something to say.
Ross Douthat Thinks Islam is Evil
The battle of Hattin from a MS by Matthew Paris, 13th c.
But it's not.
The point, so I take it, of Douthat's recent NY Times editorial is that more "assertive" faiths attract converts, while the "ecumenical" denominations have lost them. (People like a tough God nowadays.) This is why, Douthat concludes, Pope Benedict XVI's outreach to schismatic Latin Mass adherents and conservative Anglicans were such strokes of genius. The real move -- and the real genius -- however, is that:
in making the opening to Anglicanism, Benedict also may have a deeper conflict in mind — not the parochial Western struggle between conservative and liberal believers, but Christianity's global encounter with a resurgent Islam....
There are an awful lot of Anglicans, in England and Africa alike, who would prefer a leader who takes Benedict's approach to the Islamic challenge. Now they can have one, if they want him.
This could be the real significance of last week's invitation. What's being interpreted, for now, as an intra-Christian skirmish may eventually be remembered as the first step toward a united Anglican-Catholic front — not against liberalism or atheism, but against Christianity's most enduring and impressive foe.
Christianity vs. Islam. Good vs. Evil. Douthat's quite comfortable with this manichean world and, in fact, he might be right that that's exactly what Benedict XVI's doing -- using an external "enemy" to broaden Catholicism's tent. That latter bit is more troubling than the former. Douthat can think what he wants. There are plenty of people who are foolish enough to think that you can reify a religion -- any religion -- then chop it down to its "most basic" elements, thus ignoring context and historical circumstance. Whatever. But is the Pope doing this too?
As Douthat notes, Benedict has indeed done this before, in his Regensberg address. Benedict was a medievalist, after all, so why not look back to Urban II or Innocent III as models? Better yet -- stunningly -- how about Abbot Peter the Venerable of Cluny? This last guy might not seem to fit but there does seem to be a pattern here. Benedict says of Peter:
he showed care and solicitude even for those who were outside the Church, in particular for the Jews and Muslims: to foster knowledge of the latter he had the Quran translated.
Mostly, Benedict speaks of Peter's love of "peace." Ironic. Dominique Iogna-Prat has done some excellent work on Abbot Peter and what Benedict doesn't tell you is that Peter had the Quran translated so that Christians might better write polemics against Islam and so that Christian preachers might better work to convert the infidel. Abbot Peter was a staunch advocate for the Templars, for Crusades against the enemies of Christ, for the persecution of the Jews. Ultimately, Peter was concerned with constructing an intellectual wall around Christendom, where all non-Christians -- Jews, Muslims, heretics -- wouldn't be able to touch/ to stain/ to pollute the faithful.
This was where a manichean world-view led in the late Middle Ages. Christians vs. non-Christians. Good vs. Evil. This was the path that led to the crusader sack of Constantinople, to the Albigensian Crusade, to the provisions of Lateran IV, to the office of the Inquisition, to the expulsion of the Jews from the fledgling nations of Europe.
This is a path we ought not retread and a path both Douthat and Pope Benedict ought be aware of. Benedict is not Peter the Venerable, nor is he Pope Innocent III, but Benedict is no liberal either.

Steve Muhlberger said...
Too many want "peace" entirely on their own terms. Or else the weapons come out.
Maybe Douthat is panicking thinking that in a few generations his decendants may be non-white and non-Christian. He could do them a favor now by promoting a legacy of reason, acceptance and inclusion.
Christine Taylor said...
Wait -- I'm confused. If Benedict thinks that Islam is a mistaken belief, then why wouldn't he take steps to strengthen the Church against it? Practicing kindness and charity to Muslims, which one should do, is not the same as thinking that they are correct in their belief. Islamic and Christian belief systems are deeply opposed. People might believe that they are both wrong, but frankly both of them cannot be right.
Matthew Gabriele said...
Christine, that may be true but (if you read the post) the path Douthat and Benedict are trodding -- the people they're invoking -- advocated violence, not peace. That's the real problem. Belief is one thing. Enforcing it is another thing entirely.
Oh please!! Douthat has it all wrong about Benedict. And so, it seems, has this blogger.
Goodness gracious me! Do you need a Protestant who has been studying Benedict XVI by reading most of his books and writings, his speeches, almost his every uttering for the past six years, eight hours per day, to tell you that you people do not know and understand your own Pope??
Benedict XVI is probably the greatest Pope the Catholic Church has ever had. He is no Islam hater, no warrior against Judaism, or Islam, or even the "modern/post-modern world! He is not even a medievalist, as this blogger said. He is 82 years old and has knowledge and insight into human history and thoughts of thousands of years. And, not be forgotten, he is a follower of Jesus Christ. That is actually the bottom line. Benedict has the terrible responsibility to be Christ's Vicar in a world gone mad and, I'm sorry to say, of a (Catholic) Church that does not seem to deserve him.
To read Matthew Gabriele's words" "....the path Douthat and Benedict are trodding..." is absolutely mind boggling..... To think that (I presume) a Catholic could see fit to push Benedict XVI into a partnership with someone who reasons like Douhat is laughable. No, actually it is tragic. It shows once again that thousands of Catholics do not have a clue who and what their own Pope is. Do you only read media reports from the West? How is this possible?
Anonymous (the latter), I honestly don't have a response because you really don't make any points. I don't see how his age prevents him from being a medievalist. I don't see how his being a "follower of Jesus Christ" prohibits him from professing intolerance. I don't see how my reliance on "media reports" stop me from understanding the Pope. You just sound a lot like this guy.
Another Damned Medievalist said...
I don't know how I missed this, except that maybe it's because you posted it on my birthday! But yes to all of it. Well, except where you probable meant 'treading'? :-)
Welcome to this intermittent blog about the continuing relevance of the period known as the Middle Ages to the modern world and modernity's continuing fascination with the "medieval."
