When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel.

  • Film Review: the Passion of the Christ (Director Mel Gibson 2004)
    114 Australian Religion Studies Review Film Review: The Passion of the Christ (Director Mel Gibson 2004) Ecce Vir: Conceit, Homophobia and Irony in Gibson's Passion Michael Carden, University ofQueensland My favourite Jesus film is Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The Gospel According to St. Matthew." Mel Gibson's Passion shows that it still takes a gay Marxist to make an effective movie about Jesus. Passion hit the cinemas on a tide of controversy. Arguments raged over the film's violence, possible anti-Semitism and the question of Gibson's own traditionalist Catholic perspective. This latter point particularly bemused me, as the film seemed most eagerly expected and promoted by conservative evangelical Protestant communities. I am not a fan of Gibson as an actor and have not seen most of his films, but, as a biblical scholar, I knew that I had to see the film. Furthermore, as I regard most Jesus films as being too sanitized in representing his execution, I was interested in seeing a film that claimed to show it as it was. Finally the film offered the rare prospect of being played in Latin and Aramaic. However, like the Tower of Babel, the film failed in this conceit, which was symptomatic of a deeper problem. Playing the film in Aramaic and Latin irked me as an attempt to conscript a documentary sense to what was on screen, to make the screen into a window into 30 CE Jerusalem. No film, no text is a simple window onto an unmediated and uninterpreted reality and Gibson's film had not only to harmonize the differing gospel accounts but was also partly based on Katherine Emmerich's 19th century visionary accounts.

Le Herald, journal de l’après- midi connu des habitants de Melbourne pour ses petites annonces et ses cartoons de William Ellis Green, publie une photo s’étirant sur toute la lon- gueur de son format tabloïd. Le cliché présente une famille nombreuse, très nombreuse, et sa légende annonce : « Faites connaissance avec chacun des douze Gibson ! » Hutton “Red” Gibson, sa femme Anne et leurs dix enfants viennent à peine de poser le pied en Australie qu’un photographe de l’aéroport de Melbourne a voulu immortaliser l’occasion. Après tout, ça n’est pas tous les jours qu’on croise une fratrie capable de constituer une équipe de foot- ball — ou une Cène, c’est selon — à elle toute seule. Le texte qui joint la photo décrit Hutton Gibson 5 comme un programmeur informatique américain venu s’installer en Australie parce qu’il « pense que ce pays offre d’assez bonnes chances pour moi et pour mes enfants ». Pour mieux saisir la personna- lité pour le moins paradoxale — pour ne pas dire autre chose — de l’acteur et réalisateur américain révélé par la trilogie Mad Max, il faut se pencher sur son enfance, sur la personnalité de “Red” le patriarche, sur l’éducation prodiguée par ce der- nier.

  • Intermittente Materiale: Alcune Stanze Effetto: Adattarsi Moquette E Carta Da Parati
    adattarsi Sistemare una stanza Durata: intermittente Materiale: alcune stanze Effetto: adattarsi Moquette e carta da parati, piastrelle e intonaco, impianto elettrico, fasci di luce, porte, finestre, tende, cuscini, mobili, piante... Bisogna decidere il posto degli oggetti, il colore e lo stile. Ciò che è interessante è che non si sa come fare. Imparate ad ascoltare quello che dice la stanza. Ogni luogo vuole una certa forma e una certa sistemazione. Non si può averne una conoscenza globale né razionale. È come se in ogni posto lo spirito del luogo parlasse una propria lingua, che voi dovete imparare utilizzando le vostre risorse. Bisogna quindi lasciarsi impregnare dalle caratteristiche del luogo: volume, luci, superfici, materiali, trama. E poi procedere a tentoni. Una buona sistemazione non nasce mai da una prima intuizione. Bisogna procedere per approssimazione, passo dopo passo, per tentativi ed errori. Saper tacere e dimenticare, riscoprire, agire al di là delle parole e delle rappresentazioni. Non completamente in modo teorico e astratto. Posate un colore e gli altri tutt'intorno si trasformano. Mettete un mobile e i volumi cambiano, talvolta anche i colori e le luci. Ogni cosa è sempre in stretto rapporto con il resto. Per questo non dovete lasciarvi ingannare, quando non conoscete esattamente l'itinerario da seguire. L'esperienza obbedisce a regole ogni volta diverse. Voi dovete lasciar fare e agire al tempo stesso. Siete voi al centro delle manovre, ma avrete successo se non im¬porrete nulla. D'altro canto le conseguenze di questa relativa passività saranno in ragione di quello che siete. Ciò che il luogo suggerisce, ciò che esige su misura non è evidentemente identico per tutte le persone: il luogo è la guida, ma siete voi il conducente e non qualcun altro.

Biblical Scholarship and the Passion Surrounding The Passion of the Christ Abstract The release of the film has engendered a spectrum of fervent responses, becoming in itself atheological event shaped by merchandising, media, and audience reception. For a long while, images from a movie will inform the lens through which many of our students and the general public read the Gospels, as well as influence the ways in which some Jews and Christians view one another. Reactions to the film will differ markedly, magnifying and possibly reifying the various theological stances of audience members. Since much of the furor revolves around issues of interpretation of Scripture, biblical scholars can provide informed and thoughtful contributions to the debate. In other words, the release of The Passion, as well as other films with eligiousr themes, provides a valuable opportunity for raising the level of public discourse on religion, enabling us to foster careful inquiry in our classrooms, writings, churches and synagogues.

  • Sacramental Intention and Masonic Bishops (2003)
    Sacramental Intention and Masonic Bishops (2003) by Rev. Anthony Cekada An old canard about Abp. Lefebvre’s ordination “People who are not theologians never seem to understand how little intention is wanted for a sacrament… The ‘implicit intention of doing what Christ instituted’ means so vague and small a thing that one can hardly help having it — unless one deliberately excludes it. At the time when everyone was talk- ing about Anglican orders, numbers of Catholics confused in- tention with faith. Faith is not wanted. It is heresy to say that it is. (This was the error of St Cyprian and Firmilian against which Pope Stephen I [254–257] protested.) A man may have utterly wrong, heretical and blasphemous views about a sac- rament and yet confer or receive it quite validly.” — Adrian Fortescue The Greek Fathers IN THE LATE 1970s, as priests of the Society of St. Pius X began to offer Mass in more and more cities, certain controversialists in the U.S. traditionalist movement began to circulate the story that the Society’s founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (1905–1991) had been ordained to both the priesthood and the episcopacy by a Mason, that the Archbishop’s own priestly ordination and episcopal consecration were therefore invalid, and that conse- quently, all SSPX priests were invalidly ordained as well. The alleged Mason in question was Achille Cardinal Liénart (1884–1973), Archbishop of Lille (Abp. Lefebvre’s native city), and later one of the leading modernists at the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). The late Hugo Maria Kellner, the now-defunct publication Veritas, Hutton Gibson and a few others — the “Liénartists,” we could call them — argued that, since Masonry despised the Church, its adepts among the clergy would naturally want to destroy the priesthood by withholding the required sacramental intention when conferring Holy Orders.

    BRINGING HISTORY INTO ACCORD WITH THE FACTS IN THE TRADITION OF DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES The Barnes Review A JOURNAL OF NATIONALIST THOUGHT & HISTORY VOLUME XIX NUMBER 5 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2013 BARNESREVIEW.COM Back Door to War: The Roosevelt Foreign Policy 1933-1941 CLASSIC BY CHARLES CALLAN TANSILL NOW IN STOCK! his large volume masterpiece of 20th Century revisionist history is now at last back in print. Charles Callan Tansill, one of the foremost American diplomatic historians of the 20th century—quoted again and again by his peers and Tresearchers for decades—convincingly argues that Franklin Roosevelt wanted nothing more than to involve the United States in the European War that began in September 1939. When his efforts appeared to come to naught, Roosevelt determined to provoke Japan into an attack on American territory. Doing so would involve Japan’s Axis allies in war also, and so America would thus enter the war through the “back door.” The strategy succeeded, and Tansill maintains that Roosevelt therefore welcomed Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Tansill demonstrates quite con- vincingly his central theme: that FDR sought to include the United States in the Second World War on the side of the Soviet Union from the very beginning, and duped the Japanese into firing the first shot. Tansill based his prem- ise on an examination of State Department confidential correspondence and the manuscript collections of the National Archives and Library of Congress as well as sound reasoning.

Contact: [email protected] Holocaust-Denial Literature: An Additional Bibliography John A. Drobnicki This bibliography is a suppiement to one published in the March 1994 Bulletin of Bibliography. During the intervening time, Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in the scholarly literature and in the mainstream press. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves “revisionists” in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and remain as vocal as ever— Bradley R. Smith has continued to send revisionist advertise- ments to college newspapers, generating pubiicity for his cause. Holocaust denial, which is used interchangeably with Holocaust revisionism in this bibli- ography, is a body of iiterature that seeks to prove that the Jewish Holocaust did not happen. Although individual revisionists may have different motives and beiiefs, they ali share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate Eu- ropean Jewry. Hence they ciaim that the Holocaust is a “hoax” perpetrated by Jews (“Zion- ists”) in an attempt to blackmail the rest of the world for sympathy, money, and legitimacy for the state of Israel.
