Bishops to air nukes again Will make revisions in Chicago in May f • Abp. McCarthy on nukes P10 • More on Bishop meet P10-11 WASHINGTON (NC) — The U.S. bishops voted almost unanimously to hold a special meeting in Chicago next May 2-3 to debate and further refine their planned pastoral letter on nuclear weapons. In more than two hours of discus- sion about the letter on the last day of their Nov. 15-18 annual meeting a large majority of the 31 bishops who addressed the issue supported the basic thrust of the pastoral, couching their criticisms of specific points in terms of a desire to strengthen the total document and give it greater im- pact and credibility. Among major points they made about the 110-page second draft, which is their current working docu- ment, were the following: • The document's controversial section on the morality of nuclear deterrence needs to be developed.

Hermeticism Pt 1\374
"I wish to learn about the things that are, to understand their nature and to know God. How much I want to hear!" from [Discourse] of Hermes Trismegistus : Poimandres Hermeticism "The fifteen tractates of the Corpus Hermeticum, along with the Perfect Sermon or Asclepius, are the foundation documents of the Hermetic tradition. Written by unknown authors in Egypt sometime before the end of the third century C.E., they were part of a once substantial literature attributed to the mythic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a Hellenistic fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. This literature came out of the same religious and philosophical ferment that produced Neoplatonism, Christianity, and the diverse collection of teachings usually lumped together under the label "Gnosticism": a ferment which had its roots in the impact of Platonic thought on the older traditions of the Hellenized East. There are obvious connections and common themes linking each of these traditions, although each had its own answer to the major questions of the time." John Michael Greer : An Introduction to the Corpus Hermeticum "The Corpus Hermeticum landed like a well-aimed bomb amid the philosophical systems of late medieval Europe. Quotations from the Hermetic literature in the Church Fathers (who were never shy of leaning on pagan sources to prove a point) accepted a traditional chronology which dated "Hermes Trismegistus," as a historical figure, to the time of Moses. As a result, the Hermetic tractates' borrowings from Jewish scripture and Platonic philosophy were seen, in the Renaissance, as evidence that the Corpus Hermeticum had anticipated and influenced both. -

Hermeticism in Sweden 189
Hermeticism in Sweden 189 Chapter 24 Hermeticism in Sweden Hermeticism in Sweden Susanna Åkerman The fragmentary sources for tracing Hermeticism in Sweden stem from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when these texts still formed a basis for cosmological thinking. The Corpus Hermeticum was often associated with another Hermetic text, the Tabula smaragdina or Emerald Tablet. Translated into Latin from the Arabic in the twelfth century, the text was particularly pop- ular among German alchemists, who rarely read the Corpus Hermeticum but instead based their understanding of Hermeticism on the short sentences from the Emerald Tablet. The Emerald Tablet was furthermore used to present alchemy in a simple but enigmatic form. The Tablet formulated the kernel of Hermeticism in a widely spread maxim on the parallels between the cosmo- logical macrocosm and the human microcosm: “As above, so below”. This figure of thought had a great influence on Hermeticism in Sweden. Swedenborg, for example, reformulated it to treat of correspondences between the natural, the spiritual, and the heavenly realms. Hermetic philosophy likewise influenced three other currents: mysticism, alchemy, and Rosicrucianism. Seventeenth-Century Metaphysics Hermeticism began to be an important current in Sweden with Johan Skytte (1577–1645), who was the Chancellor of Uppsala University. In the 1640s Skytte delivered an oration in which he praised King Gustavus II Adolphus for having opened the doors for “Theophrastus [Paracelsus] and [Hermes] Trismegistos” to the Swedish universities. This was a clear signal that the older pagan phi- losophy was compatible with Christian beliefs. In the same spirit, the Finnish natural philosopher Sigfrid Aron Forsius (1560–1624) edited several almanacs to be used for astrological purposes. -

Hermeticism and Alchemy
Hermeticism and Alchemy Terence McKenna New York 1992 Today's thing is sort of a return to a more orthodox educational kind of mode, hopefully not to such a degree that it's boring. The agenda is to talk about Hermeticism and alchemy; the way in which this tradition | which is counter- intuitive and heterodox, if not heretical from the point of view of Christianity | what it can mean for the present, what it means for the psychedelic experience, what it means for the notion of the end of history and how the loss of this point of view has probably done us a certain amount of damage. The great tension in the late Middle Ages was between the magical schema, the magical view of human beings, and the Christian view. The Christian view is very strongly marked by the idea of man's fall, that we screwed up early on and somehow then, by virtue of that, were forced into a secondary position in the cosmic drama. We are doing penance as we speak, the world is a vale of tears, the lot of human beings is to till hard land and we are cursed unto the nineteenth generation by the fall of our first parents. We can be redeemed through Christ, but we don't deserve it; if you are saved it is because there is a kind of hand extended to you from a merciful God who is willing to overlook your wormy nature and draw you up in spite of yourself. This is deep in us; you may not think you've bought in because you're black or Chinese, but it's just in the air we breath. -

Octobern 2020 Columbian
OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE MICHIGAN STATE COUNCIL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MICHIGAN COLUMBIAN “Rise Up and Answer the Call” October 2020 VOLUME 72 NO. 2 From The State Deputy Walter K. Winkle, Jr. Brother Knights and Families, I pray that all of you are safe and that the Covid has minimally affected your lives. As this virus continues to plague society, Remember the Leave no Neighbor Behind Program that has been in progress for a few months now. I strongly urge every council to call on their members and ask how they and their families are and is there anything you can do as a council to help them. Open the communications with your fellow Brothers and offer what you can to help. Then call on the members of your parish to ask if they are in need also. This is a perfect time to let them know who we are as Knights of Columbus. The first two months of the year have been very good so far and I would like to thank all of those members that introduced new men and their families to their councils during the free membership in August in honor of the beatification of our founder Fr. Micheal McGivney. I would like to congratulate those councils that have already reached their quota so far as of the end of August, Council 6549 in New Boston and Council 7945 in Clark Lake and the District Deputies in District 105, Dominic Raona, 131 William Aliti and 501 Chris Stevens that are over 45%. I encourage them along with all the other councils across the state to make every attempt to continue to recruit more men and their families to help us engage in Fr. -

Separations: 5.5 linear feet of extraneous material and duplicates were discarded See Also: Administrative History Serra was founded in 1934 by Harold Haberlie, Dan Rooney, Leo Sharkey and Richard Ward in Seattle, Washington. These four men and their wives met in Leo Sharkey’s home to discuss the idea of starting a Catholic Service Club and thus Serra was born. The first Serra club was chartered in Seattle with 35 members in 1935. Serra officially became Serra International in 1938, at the first convention. The first official Serra club outside the United States was chartered in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in 1943. Serra International is named for Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan friar who founded the mission chain in Alta, California. The mandate of Serra International is to foster and promote vocations in the Catholic Church and to aid in financing the education of seminarians. Serra clubs were chartered around the world to help promote Catholic vocations. As interest in Serra International’s work increased, so did the number of clubs. In 1954 The Serran magazine was first published in efforts to keep Serrans across the country informed. -

The Near-Death Experience . 98 DEATH AND THE AFTERLIFE By Richard Smoley Lesson 1: Being towards Death When dealing with a gargantuan subject, it is generally best to start with obvious things. We can begin by looking at death in this manner: Take a given individual. You know him in one way and one way only: by certain actions and movements of his physical body. Even if he tells you about his deepest dreams and most forbidden thoughts, he is doing so by using the movements of his mouth and throat. On the surface, you have every reason to believe that this individual is his physical body. You can see nothing else and have evidence of nothing else. But one day this man’s body stops moving and does not start again. Left long enough, its sight and smell will become offensive. So who or what was this man? What seemed to be the totality of his self was nothing of the kind. What really was most central to his being—his feelings, his personality, his mind—turns out to be something that could not be seen or felt or weighed.
