CONFERENCE THE THEOLOGY OF WORK AND THE DIGNITY OF WORKERS FOREWORD DAVID L. GREGORYt On All Souls' Day, November 2, 1987, Cesar Chavez, founder of the National Farm Workers Association-later, the United Farm Workers ("UFW")-discussed the evils of pesticides with a standing-room-only audience at St. John's University. Despite sharp disagreements between their union and the UFW in that era, even officials from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters joined the crowd in applause and lauded Chavez for his moving words. Afterward, Cesar told me that his brief sojourn at St. John's had been one of the most gratifying, engaging days he had enjoyed in years. A quarter-century later, on March 18 and 19 of 2011, St. John's was the site of another landmark event: the Conference- and subject of this Symposium Volume of the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies-"The Theology of Work and the Dignity of Workers."'

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.
