  • A Renunciation of Nuclear Weapons One Citizen at a Time

Prophetic Mission of Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, Emeritus Archbishop of Lusaka, Zambia and the Canonizations of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II by Pope Francis Emmanuel Milingo was consecrated as a bishop for service in the Roman Catholic Church on August 1, 1969 by Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Batista Montini at Kololo Terrace, Kampala, Uganda following his election as Archbishop of Lusaka where he served from 1969 to 1983 as one of Africa’s youngest bishops. He experienced and developed a charismatic, Biblically based healing ministry and in 1976 he joined the Catholic charismatic renewal movement finding therein a link between his African heritage and his Catholic faith. The Second Vatican Council had revisited the question of charisms in the Church. As Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens stated: “In regard to charisms, the Council adopted an open and receptive attitude expressed in a balanced text indicating that, providing that necessary prudence be observed, charisms should be recognized and esteemed in the Church of today. Indeed we might add: they are more important than ever before.” (A New Pentecost? Seabury Press, NY, 1975, p.30). Cardinal Suenens had been appointed by Pope Paul VI to oversee the world wide Roman Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Following his ordination as a priest in 1958, with additional education in Rome and Dublin, he became a champion of enculturation, espoused by Vatican II and later Pope John Paul II, working for the development of an authentic African Christianity expressed through indigenous spiritual and cultural symbols.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS 18 January 1998 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts today and its theme is: "The Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Rom 8:26). The ecumenical challange faced by all disciples of Christ first demands much prayer. A common, continual prayer so that the Spirit of Jesus, despite human weaknesses and limitations, will help Christians to cross the threshold of the new millennium, "if not completely united, at least much closer to overcoming the divisions of the second millennium" (Tertio millennio adveniente, n. 34). We must not be resigned to these divisions. Instead, we must dare with the boldness of those who trust in God's help and use every means to take the path of sincere and respectful dialogue. We are in the second year of preparation for the Jubilee. It is the year dedicated to the Holy Spirit, who is truly the principal agent of every effort towards full unity. It is he, in fact, who makes present in every age the unique Revelation brought by Christ to humanity, making it alive and active in the heart of each individual and of the whole Church. Therefore, "in these last years of the milliennium, the Church should invoke the Holy Spirit with ever greater insistence, imploring from him the grace of Chrisian unity" (ibid.). 2. I now have the joy of announcing that on 21 February next, the eve of the feast of St Peter's Chair, I will hold a Consistory in which I will appoint 20 new Cardinals.

In his first pastoral letter as Salt Lake City’s bishop, he urged the state’s Catholics to keep true to the spirit of Bishop John C. Wester Advent—a season of preparation which he said has been “neglected in many places,” and often “overshadowed by the holiday season.” The bishop, who was installed in 2007 as the shepherd of the statewide Catholic diocese, noted that in the rush and busyness of the Christmas season, many people miss out on its true meaning. “By the time that the actual solemnity of Christmas arrives, many of us are burned out. We are already tired of all the ‘Christmas hype.’ Christmas has become anticlimactic,” A frightening football injury to Nick Schnell, center, led many people in the Indianapolis Catholic community to pray for him after the Oct. 17 incident. he wrote.

PROGRESS FOR PILGRIMS? AN ANALYSIS OF THE HOLY SEE-ISRAEL FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENT Geoffrey R. Watson* The approach of the millennium is expected to draw unprecedented numbers of Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. Pope John Paul II has proclaimed the year 2000 a Jubilee Year, and he has issued an Apostolic Letter encouraging Catholics to participate by making pilgrimages to Is- rael and Rome. Indeed, the Pope has announced that he intends to visit the Holy Land before the end of the century.1 During normal years, more than two million Christian tourists visit Israel; in the year 2000, five to fifteen million tourists, mostly Christian, are expected to visit Israel.2 Among other things, Christian pilgrims will want to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; to see Nazareth, where Jesus grew up; and to make a pilgrimage to Christ's birthplace, Bethlehem, 2000 years after His birth.3 Yet as Professor Moshe Hirsch noted in his remarks at this Sympo- sium,4 the 1993 Fundamental Agreement5 between the Holy See and Is- * Visiting Associate Professor of Law, The Catholic University of America, Co- lumbus School of Law, Washington, D.C.

  • Shame: Confessions of the Father of the Neutron Bomb (4Th Edition)
    Shame: Confessions of the Father of the Neutron Bomb (4th Edition) The 4th edition just restores the original title. It still includes the 3rd edition’s New Overview and Postscript Chapter, “The Profits of Fear” by Charles Platt Sam Cohen 2 Shame: Confessions of the Father of the Neutron Bomb 1996-2006 by Sam Cohen, Los Angeles; All rights reserved for all media. A free copy of this book may be found at: http://www.AthenaLab.com/ and http://www.hdssystems.com/ This 4th edition (2015) of Sam Cohen’s memoirs just restores the original title, which seems a much more appropriate legacy. Sam Cohen passed away in 2010, at age 89. The 3rd edition made Sam’s requested change of title (“F*** You! Mister President: …”) and added Charles Platt’s great new chapter. That title change reflected Sam’s outrage at George W. Bush and Barak Obama for starting and continuing unnecessary and disastrous wars, and for misleading the American people about them. Sam deeply regretted having voted for them. The 2nd edition (among other changes) had all of the previously deleted expletives restored, and had many typographical corrections. The old first (printed) edition of “Shame” is obsolete. Introduction 3 To Conrad Schneiker and Arp, my true and devoted friends. 4 Shame: Confessions of the Father of the Neutron Bomb Technical Editor’s Notes It’s very rare for any single book to really stand out in terms of many crucially important unvarnished first-hand historical ‘reality checks’. Sam Cohen’s book Shame is one of those few remarkable exceptions.
