“I’ve Never Met a Mormon Man Who Has Any Real Respect for Women” An Ex-Mormon Woman Looks Back at the Church by ALEXANDER COCKBURN Editor’s Note: Tonight Mitt Romney will accept the Republican nomination for president and publicly embrace his Mormon faith. For the first time, a Mormon stands a very good a chance of being the president. But what is Mormonism? What is it like to be a woman inside the Church of Latter Day Saints? Becky Grant, known to thousands of CounterPunchers as our business manager, was raised a Mormon. This spring Alexander Cockburn talked to her about the Church. –Jeffrey St. Clair What can we expect from a Mormon man in the White House? All ...

Pope Benedict XVI delivered an address from the Vatican on Sunday in which he suggested that those who disagree with Catholic teachings or do not believe in Jesus Christ should leave the church rather than become betrayers like Judas. "Judas," Pope Benedict said, "could have left, as many of the disciples did; indeed, he would have left if he were honest. Instead he remained with Jesus. He did not remain because of faith, or because of love, but with the secret intention of taking vengeance on the Master." The leader of the Worldwide Roman Catholic Church added that Judas' most serious crime was falsehood, which the pope described as "the mark of the ...

The 80-year-old Spanish woman responsible for what some are calling history's worst restoration of a work of art spoke out in the media on Wednesday to defend her actions. Cecilia Gimenez, a loyal parishioner at the church in Borja, Saragossa Province, had taken it upon herself to restore Ecce Homo, a 19th century mural of Jesus Christ, according to Le Monde. Witness the devastating results below. "We've always fixed everything ourselves in this church. The priest asked me to do it, he knew. How could I have done it without his permission?" Mrs. Gimenez told Spanish television, according to France TV Info. A professional team of art restorers is going to examine the ...

Empty churches become white elephants By DAVID O'REILLY The Philadelphia Inquirer (MCT) PHILADELPHIA - Hunger, health care and urban violence are the usual subjects of concern when the Religious Leaders Council of Greater Philadelphia gathers for its semiannual meetings. But at the spring 2011 session, a new topic was cast into the mix: real estate. A member noted he was grappling with a growing stock of vacant churches. Hoping for a solution from his high-placed peers at the conference table, he got instead a chorus of me-toos. "I always thought I could sell my buildings to you," a prelate of one Protestant denomination joked to another. Advertisement The group erupted ...

KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) — When Sara Weaver saw her father Randy struck in the shoulder by a government sniper's bullet in the Idaho wilderness in August 1992, she began to sprint back to the family's cabin on a mountaintop called Ruby Ridge. As the 16-year-old closed in, her mother, Vicki, opened the cabin door and stood behind it, holding Sara Weaver's 10-month-old sister in her arms. Just then, a sniper's bullet struck her mother in the head, killing her. For the next nine days, the surviving Weavers holed up in the cabin while hundreds of federal agents laid siege in a standoff that helped spark an anti-government patriot movement that grew to include the Oklahoma ...

Richard P. Sheridan God has given us and endorses hemp/marijuana, and no man has a legal right to keep it from us. In Genesis 1:9 He says, "Behold I give thee every herb bearing seed", and in 1Timothy 3, "They will stop the use of foods which God has created...For every creation of God is good." Psalm 104, 14 - 15, says, "He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man." How was marijuana used in biblical times? Clothing, paper, cord, sails, fishnet, oil, sealant, incense, food, relaxation, and medicine. All of a sudden, after thousands of years of beneficial use, marijuana/HEMP is criminalized, and the predatory pharmaceutical ...

Under the blazing Arizona sun stands an encampment of military tents filled with some 2,000 people. They battle the heat by positioning themselves in front of a few large fans, but they are of little use when temperatures reach 145 degrees. Stun fences surround the perimeter, with four Sky Watch Towers bearing down on the occupants. Facial recognition software and K-9 units keep track of the people moving about, longing for their freedom. For the residents of Tent City Jail, their time behind bars is an exercise in humiliation: they are forced to dress in pink underwear, they “work seven days a week, are fed only twice a day, get no coffee, no cigarettes, no salt, pepper or ketchup ...

Government Policy Leading to Persecution of Christians Most Americans are Christians. But few know that the acts of our American government are leading to the persecution of Christians in numerous countries. According to the Vatican’s official news service – Fides - and many other Christian news sources, the Syrian opposition is targeting Christians. Priests and bishops on the ground in Syria confirm these reports. As a Syrian priest writes in the Guardian: Despite what you might read in much of the western media, Syria is an enlightened, secular society with a deeply spiritual core and the common belief is that Syria is for everybody. A fundamentalist state would destroy the ...

To gay marriage activists, traditional beliefs are something to be punished. Two weeks ago, Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, an Atlanta company famous for its juicy chicken sandwiches, appeared on “The Ken Coleman Show” to air his biblical belief that those who champion same-sex marriage are risking divine retribution upon us all. “We are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” said Cathy. “I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about.” ...

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church appear to be on their way to protest a prayer vigil for victims of the Aurora massacre, according to tweets from members posted by Examiner.com. Using the hashtag #ThankGodForTheShooter, Examiner.com reports members tweeted out their plans to "super picket" the candle lit prayer service, saying "God is at work in Colorado." Almost immediately, members of the community launched a campaign on Reddit and Facebook to form a "wall of love" around the memorial service to block the group from getting close. Church member Fred Phelps Jr. said these efforts would be in vain: Earlier this morning, the Denver Comic Con released a ...

The hand of God is in every trial, trouble, and disappointment (James Smith) Your trials, though many, painful, and tedious--are but proofs of your heavenly Father's love! They are sent in mercy--to convince you that this poor world is not your rest. Your Father's wisdom chose them, His love sent them, and His mercy will sanctify them to you! Tried believer--are you looking to Jesus? He can hush the storm, and still the tempest. He is always near in trouble. Is your eye fixed upon Him? Does your heart repose on His tender love and faithful Word? Do you recognize your heavenly Father's hand in your trials? His hand is in them, whether you see it or not. He sends, bounds, and ...

The Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise split apparently has had a negative effect on the Church of Scientology, which is calling for members to take action and silence naysayers. The campaign also comes as an entire mission for the church has defected from under the leadership of David Miscavige, reports the Village Voice.

John the Baptist Bones Found?

Purported skeletal remains of John the Baptist have been dated to the first century A.D. and so could conceivably have belonged to the "forerunner of Christ," who baptized Jesus, scientists say. Discovered in 2010 among the ruins of a Bulgarian church, the remains include six human bones: a knucklebone from the right hand, a tooth, part of a cranium, a rib, and an ulna, or forearm bone. DNA and radiocarbon testing of collagen from the knucklebone show that the remains likely belonged to a Middle Eastern man who lived in the first century A.D., which fits with the story of John the Baptist. According to the Bible, John was a cousin of Jesus Christ, so the finding means ...

U.S. bishops, steeped in a swirl of controversy, say it's time to "take a good, hard look" at how well they communicate their message. By Mitchell Landsberg Los Angeles Times ATLANTA — There's no doubt that the nation's Roman Catholic bishops have had their share of what might be called bad press. The priest sex-abuse scandal, a Vatican crackdown on nuns, a head-knocking fight with the president of the United States over contraceptive coverage — none of these would qualify as good news. The bishops said Thursday that they've had enough. It is time, they said, to beef up their public-relations arsenal. "We need more help and sophistication in ...

ust after dawn on Wednesday, May 23, Paolo Gabriele said goodbye to his wife, passed by the bedrooms of his three children and left to start another day in the service of the man Roman Catholics believe is the vicar of Christ on Earth. By the end of the day, Pope Benedict's butler would be branded a traitor and some, including an Italian cardinal, would compare him to the most famous betrayer in history - Judas Iscariot, the man who turned Jesus over to the Romans. Dark haired and handsome, Gabriele, 46, left his simple home on the third floor of a 1930s Vatican apartment block named after the 7th century monk Saint Egidio. With the St Ann's Gate entrance, guarded by Swiss Guard ...

Pope's butler arrested in leaks investigation VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict's butler was arrested on Friday in connection with an investigation into leaks of confidential documents, some alleging cronyism and corruption in Vatican contracts, a senior Vatican source said.

Some of the documents involved allegations of corruption, mismanagement and cronyism in the awarding of contracts for work in the Vatican and internal disagreement on the management of the Vatican bank.

Of course, it’s not quite accurate to say the major media and political establishment “don’t care.” In fact, they have intentionally made themselves obstacles to a free-and-open inquiry of the facts. But, it was pointed out to me by a wise man that I overlooked an 11th reason ...
