We will make America Catholic as the conquistadores made half the world Catholic. —Frederick D. Wilhelmsen1 On the morning of June 6, 1970, approximately three hundred people gathered for a pro-life demonstration across the street from George Washington University Clinic in Washington, D.C. Many of them carried either processional crucifixes or self-made wooden crosses, while others held banners and placards—one read: “If killing babies is legal, what isn’t?”2 The most striking visual was a contingent of young men dressed in khaki pants and shirts. They wore red berets, rosaries around their necks, and patches of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on their breast pockets. Many of them clutched the yellow and white papal flag, adorned with crossed keys and the ornate papal crown. The crowd had congregated around an equestrian statue of George Washington. At its base stood a middle-aged man with thick, curly dark hair; his face personified fury. He spoke to the crowd: There is a judgment passed on the nations by the Lord of time. And when America faces its God on that awesome day and when He asks America ‘What did you do for these the least of My little ones?’ America will answer ‘Lord, we killed them while they were indeed the least of Thy little ones so that they could not be a nuisance to us.’ And then the Lord 1 God, our Incarnate King, Christ, will answer: ‘Go you, America, into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I and all my angels vomit you out because you have done this to Me and to My Mother, your Queen.’ America, you have become a nuisance to God.3 At the conclusion of his speech he held out a silver cross and exclaimed: And therefore we take upon ourselves this morning, and we swear not to lay it down in our lifetime, the Holy Cross of crusade against the enemies of life and its Creator . Dear God—give us the grace to embrace this Cross. Christus vivit. Christus regnat. Christus imperat. Long live Christ the King! Viva Cristo Rey!4 The uniformed men answered, “Viva Cristo Rey,” which the crowd then repeated.5 Next, a tall, lanky redhead stood at the base of the Washington statue and addressed the crowd as he pointed to the clinic across the street: Christians will go to that building this morning in the name of their King . A delegation of them will go inside the walls to receive from the executioners a promise that the King’s reign will be honored in that place. They will seek enforcement of His command, Thou shalt not murder; they will seek to baptize and to bury in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. They will not leave willingly until the King’s rule has returned.6 He pulled on a red beret, grabbed a large wooden cross, and led the crowd across the street toward the clinic. Five of the demonstrators, including the lanky redhead, entered the clinic and scuffled with police officers. Outside, the uniformed men prayed the rosary on their knees. The five men who had infiltrated the clinic were arrested; they shouted “Viva Cristo Rey” as they were led outside to a police wagon—the crowd roared

    Basil Paterson Recalled As Wise Man of Labor - The Chief: Ne... http://thechiefleader.com/news/news_of_the_week/basil-paterso... Basil Paterson Recalled As Wise Man of Labor By RICHARD STEIER | Posted: Monday, April 21, 2014 5:15 pm Basil A. Paterson, perhaps best known as a powerhouse in Harlem politics whose son David became New York’s first black Governor, was remembered following his death at 87 April 17 by union leaders as a mentor and bargaining counsel who combined wisdom and calm to great advantage. “Basil Paterson was the rare individual who knew how to talk to people, he knew what to say to people and he also knew when to say it,” said Teamsters Local 237 President Gregory Floyd. ‘Taught Us So Much’ American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, who retained Mr. Paterson as outside labor counsel for the United Federation of Teachers upon becoming its president in 1997 and continued to seek his advice when she moved on to the AFT 12 years later, described him as “always being a consigliere in the truest sense of the word.” Referring to her counterpart at the city’s giant health-care union, Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union, she said, “Both George Gresham and I always say he taught us so much.” One of the most potent arrows in Mr. Paterson’s quiver was his sense of diplomacy. In 2006, he was thrust into a difficult spot when, following a three-day transit strike the previous December, the rank and file of Transport Workers Union Local 100 voted down the wage contract that ended the walkout by just seven votes out of more than 22,000 cast.

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • Distributism Debate
    The Distributism Debate The Distributism Debate Dane J. Weber Donald P. Goodman III Eds. GP Goretti Publications Dozenal numeration is a system of thinking of numbers in twelves, rather than tens. Twelve is much more versatile, having four even divisors—2, 3, 4, and 6—as opposed to only two for ten. This means that such hatefulness as “0.333. ” for 1/3 and “0.1666. ” for 1/6 are things of the past, replaced by easy “0;4” (four twelfths) and “0;2” (two twelfths). In dozenal, counting goes “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, elv, dozen; dozen one, dozen two, dozen three, dozen four, dozen five, dozen six, dozen seven, dozen eight, dozen nine, dozen ten, dozen elv, two dozen, two dozen one. ” It’s written as such: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1E, 20, 21... Dozenal counting is at once much more efficient and much easier than decimal counting, and takes only a little bit of time to get used to. Further information can be had from the dozenal societies (http:// www.dozenal.org), as well as in many other places on the Internet. © 2006 (11E2) Dane J. Weber and Donald P.

  • THE HOUND of DISTRIBUTISM: a Solution for Our Social and Economic Crisis
    ACS BOOKS | A DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN CHESTERTON SOCIETY 4117 Pebblebrook Circle | Minneapolis, MN 55437 | 952-831-3096 | [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE HOUND OF DISTRIBUTISM: A Solution for Our Social and Economic Crisis MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (March 27, 2012) – ACS Books announced today the release of its groundbreaking book on Distributism, the thought- provoking idea that what is good for politics and business is not always good for society, but what is good for the family makes good politics and good business. Distributism is a political economy championing the sustainability of decentralized, local economies with the aim of ensuring the widest ownership of the means of production. In a world obsessed with growth and globalization, Distributism is a solution to our present socio-economic malaise. The Hound of Distributism is a collection of essays written by leading Distributist authors from around the world. Given our present social and economic crisis, this timely and rich volume challenges the sterility of our present by recovering the value of the socio-economic theory of Distributism. The book is available for $13.95 at www.chesterton.org and is also available on Kindle at www.amazon.com. Contributing Authors Include: • Richard Aleman, president of The Society for Distributism and managing editor of The Distributist Review • Dale Ahlquist, president of the American Chesterton Society • Joseph Pearce, acclaimed biographer and editor-in-chief of St. Austin Review • Phillip Blond, leading English political thinker

  • The Splintering of Spain
    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them. CHRIS EALHAM is Senior Lecturer in History at Lancaster University. His previous publications include Policing the City: Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona, 1898–1937 (2005). MICHAEL RICHARDS is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary European History at the University of the West of England.
