  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.

  • Statement National Church Leaders' Consultation (Nclc)
    STATEMENT NATIONAL CHURCH LEADERS’ CONSULTATION (NCLC) Head-office of Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Khanya House, 129 Main Street, Waterkloof, Pretoria, 29 January 2020 As senior church leaders of different denominations, we have met on 29 January at Khanya House, Head-Office of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Pretoria, to reflect on the challenges South Africa faces at the beginning of 2020. Against the background of alarming reports presented to the Zondo Commission on State Capture – the plundering of public resources to benefit a few connected individuals or their companies; the mismanagement in State Owned Enterprises (SOEs); the lack of economic growth and employment opportunities and the increase in social hardship, South Africa urgently needs to get its house in order. 1. Political, economic and social crisis – a deficit of trust and accountability A main challenge is the deep crisis and deficit of trust between citizens and political parties, and between some political leaders, and citizens in South Africa. What kind of reforms are necessary (even constitutionally) to restore accountability between political representatives and citizens? Are we not manipulated by the fierce competition amongst fractions within different parties - that fight for dominance in leadership positions to control resources, whilst sacrificing the wellbeing of all South Africans? How can we restore leadership that serve the common good for all, that protects our environment and resources for future generations? How can we foster a life-giving economy where everybody benefits, that fosters a caring society – and not only powerful lobby groups (economic, political or civil society) that wrestle for the control of our destiny? Democracy is not only about regular elections – but the fair chance for all to influence policy choices, to have a real impact on shaping the priorities that affects our daily lives (and not only for those with power or special connections).

    FIGHTING FOR OUR FUTURE 2017 ANNUAL REPORT AppalachianVoices Photos front cover and this page: Kent Mason A Appalachian Voices fights every day for a healthy environment, sustainable commu- nities, and just economies that value our region’s natural heritage. Throughout 2017, Watershed and in the face of new and enduring threats, we honored our commitment to the Year and Central and Southern Appalachian region by seizing opportunities locally, at the state the Road level, and in Washington, D.C., to advance our mission. Ahead Together with our members, we’ve come too far to stand by as profit-driven, polluting industries and shortsighted policies put vulnerable communities, the climate, and the natural resources we all rely on at even greater risk. We refuse to waver from the pursuit of our positive vision. Skills Appalachian Voices has developed over our 20-year history—from grassroots or- ganizing to our advocacy on complex policy and regulatory issues—have prepared us for the many challenges we face today. Most importantly, the trust we’ve earned in the communities where we work has helped us build a reputation that reflects our love for Appalachia’s past, present, and future. Over the past year, our staff worked alongside impacted community members fighting mountaintop removal coal mines, toxic coal ash pollution, and fracked natural gas pipelines, and together we put pressure on regulators and elected officials tasked with protecting our health and environment. Through our innovative New Economy and Energy Savings for Appalachia programs, we also demonstrated that energy and eco- nomic solutions to many problems plaguing our region are within reach.
