Sal Cordileone – How About the People You Serve in the Forgiveness Thing?
Rereading
the fine print of your PR statement apology, I thought I would ask.
Do you
Serve God?
Do you
Serve Man?
Or do you
Serve God Through Man?
“I apologize for my error in judgment and feel shame for the disgrace I have brought upon the Church and myself,
I will repay my debt to society and I ask forgiveness from my family and my friends and co-workers at the Diocese of Oakland and the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
I pray that God, in His inscrutable wisdom, will bring some good out of this.”

Labor Day not Capital Day – Eric Cantor – Manny/Pedi Tweet
Eric Cantor, Republican House Majority Leader, took
time off on the pedi part of his weekly manny-pedi at an Exclusive DC Spa on
this federal holiday. (Not a holiday for spa workers apparently.)
Inspiration overtook him like a wave and he just had to tweet his
fabulously brilliant idea about his version of American “Labor Day”:
Today, we celebrate those who have taken a risk, worked hard, built a business and earned their own success.
Duh!
![]() |
From myself and my hard working union ancestors,
for your fucking insult to American Labor:
You are one Grande Asshole Eric Cantor!

Or he ran 9.19 minute miles in “the 1990 Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth,
Minnesota, where Ryan, then 20, is listed as having finished in 4 hours, 1

Two Minute and 23 second “Truth Gap” in Paul Ryan’s

Catholic Fascism in America – 1933 – the Movies, Media and Mind (Crowd) Control
Reading
some of the data below made me recollect that I never saw my father go to the
movies. Our mother took us to the movies
on occasion but for the most part it was just us siblings that made the trek to
the local art deco palace, the Midway Theater in Philly, on most Saturday afternoons.

In
fact my father never had a kind word for Hollywood when the topic would arise and
his non-praise of the industry often contained descriptives that were in fact
anti-Semitic.
Having
done some research, apparently there was a cultural divide whereby I think the
impact of talking motion pictures in the late 1920s and early 1930s and the
standard violence of gang mob movies of the era got combined in the minds of
the consumer with movies about divorce and infidelity.
The
Christian Right was a little behind on this curve back then and it was the
Catholic Church at the point in trying to gain control over the “artistic”
abilities of a new industry. These days,
many complaints about videos games, violence, sex and the product does not fit
into any old standard niche. Which leaves some to protest and want to control
Content.
The
movie industry that was new was trying to sell a product and did not want
control from the church crowd or even the FDR big government crowd. Somewhere in all the cultural war over movies
came the Catholic Legion of Decency out of Chicago. But it did not have any
legs or arms until outsiders came into play and manipulated the scene to gain
power over the present then situation.
Having
grown up in Philly, I had heard about the mighty Cardinal Dougherty who
apparently did not issue a mere appeal for a Movie Code but a full Catholic
Fatwa in 1934 against the whole movie industry, forbidding all Catholics to
totally boycott all cinema. A fatwa that
he never bothered to rescind.
Ironic
that about this time in 1935, Dougherty bought his humble forty plus room
palace on the Philadelphia Main Line with its nine acres of privacy that had a
private movie theater for hisself and his cronies to watch Hollywood
movies. Hypocrite!
![]() |
| Cardinal Dougherty Palace - Philadelphia |
My
father, the son of a church sexton, do doubt had the fear of God of being seen
anywhere near a movie theater. His father’s
reputation and possible livelihood rode on the shoulders of a young teenager, a
feeling I think that never left him. This looking over your shoulder is a
feeling I think a lot of people in the present world, the recent and past world,
speaks against the concept of freedom and for a government controlling the
lives of its people in a fascist state.
Hollywood picked up on the sexual laxity in the country and began making movies that depicted scenes that offended the Church. American Catholics were used to being told when to stand, sit and kneel, so when Cardinal Dennis Dougherty of Pennsylvania declared that Hollywood’s movies were entirely based on sex and violence and forbid all Catholics to attend movies on pain of serious sin. Catholics listened and movie attendance dropped dramatically. Catholics did what they were told.
When the movie moguls threatened to close all movie theatres in Philadelphia and put 15,000 people out of work in the time of the depression, the Cardinal said–Good, close them! They didn’t! The ban remains in effect to this day. The League of Decency came into being as Catholics drifted back to the theatres to face the threat of placing one in a state of an occasion of sin.
That the guiding force that gave the American Catholic Bishops the push to do the most and take on Hollywood was none other than the recently appointed Papal Nuncio Amleto Giovanni Cicognani. Cicognani was appointed Nuncio to coincide with the new FDR administration by Pius XI, the pope who signed a treaty with Mussolini to settle territory disputes from 1870 and to create the bizarre political state of the Vatican. Pius XI also gave away Catholic political rights in Germany to the new Hitler Administration in exchange for private church perks and privileges.
![]() |
| Papal Nuncio Amleto Giovanni Cicognani (center) |
The German Concordat and the Lateran Treaty gave legitimacy to Italian and German Fascism by the Catholic Church for the sake of the private political agenda of the global Catholic Church. Many say these two treaties are the basis, remote enabling factor, of the 50 million deaths in World War Two including the estimated six to twelve million victims of the German Concentration Camp Archipelago.
During World War II, Cicognani expressed reservations about Zionism. In a letter dated June 22, 1943 to American representative (to the Vatican) Myron C. Taylor, he said: "It is true that at one time Palestine was inhabited by the Hebrew Race, but there is no axiom in history to substantiate the necessity of a people returning to a country they left nineteen centuries before …… If a 'Hebrew Home' is desired, it would not be too difficult to find a more fitting territory than Palestine. With an increase in the Jewish population there, grave, new international problems would arise.”
The
fact that a Papal Nuncio was the spark to an internal secular matter regarding
the movie industry controlled largely by banks and Jewish CEOs and managers makes
me think that in the early thirties the RCC could do favors for Italian
government and German government power agendas courtesy of an accommodating pope.
After more than three years of unholy and unwholesome screen fare, Catholics formed an organization to beat back the plague. Its official name was the National Legion of Decency—morally upright Protestants and Jews might enlist as well—but the group was known as the Legion of Decency or, more ominously, simply “the Legion.”
A notion that had percolated in Catholic circles for years, the Legion took formal shape in October to November 1933, after Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani (American Papal Nuncio), speaking at the National Conference of Catholic Charities in New York on the authority of Pope Pius XI, denounced “the incalculable influence for evil” exerted by the motion picture screen.
“Catholics are called by God, the Pope, the bishops, and the priests to a united front and vigorous campaign for the purification of the cinema, which has become a deadly menace to morals,” said the bishop. Within a matter of weeks, the Legion of Decency congealed into the most feared of all the private protest groups bedeviling Hollywood.
Backed by a coordinated network of Catholic weeklies whose front-page headlines, editorial broadsides, and scare-mongering cartoons fueled parishioner outrage, the Legion lanced Hollywood’s hide with pitiless zeal. It had numbers, focus, energy—and a blunt instrument. “Worn out by promises, tricked by pledges, deceived by codes, and dismayed by filth, the Church has finally decided to take action in the one way left for it—boycott,” warned Chicago’s Catholic weekly, the New World.
The Legion was as good as its word, and it put its word into writing with a brilliant tactical device, the Legion pledge. A prayer-like pact, the Legion pledge was a contractual avowal signed by parishioners and recited in unison at Sunday masses, Knights of Columbus meetings, Ladies Sodalities gatherings, and parochial school assemblies.
“I condemn absolutely those debauching motion pictures which, with other degrading agencies, are corrupting public morals and promoting a sex mania in our land,” affirmed the pledger. “Considering these evils, I hereby promise to remain away from all motion pictures except those which do not offend decency and Christian morality.”
The picture at the top of the page is the Papal
Embassy in Washington DC, home of the current Papal Nuncio / Embassador Archbishop
Carlo Maria Viganò who you might remember is persona non grata these days in the Vatican
and the basis of a great deal of dissent within the Vatican Curia regarding the
dictatorial and extremely corrupt Bertone/Ratzinger administration, framed in the media under the title "Vatileaks".
Which means the control from Rome no longer
filters through a papal embassy but rather directly to the papal foot soldiers
of the USCCB ready to take away our secular civil liberties through fascist propaganda “religious
liberty” PR campaigns and such.
While I do not think that the RCC will ever have
the dictatorial powers of a Cardinal Dougherty to attack the “Jews in Hollywood”
like the 1930s, the RCC Rome can send millions of dollars into PACs and try and
manipulate the American Election in 2012 via bishop/cardinal puppets, Dolan etc.
following allegiance not to the United States but the King of Rome, Benedict
XVI.
Cicognani BTW was American Papal Nuncio for
twenty five years. He was instrumental in helping my cousin, his one time protégé,
to carve out five counties of the Philadelphia Archdiocese into the new duchy
diocese of Allentown Pennsylvania.
The
Allentown Diocese was a consolation prize for my cousin for not getting the
Cardinal’s chair in Philly. (Or so the
family oral history states.) That Philly chair in terms of papal and American
politics got taken away from the traditional Irish American holder of said
territory in favor of a new ethnic/economic center of power in America, perhaps negotiated by a Papal Nuncio, in the form of the Polish American future king/pope maker, John Krol.

What Do Mormons Taste Like? – Cardinal Dolan – Archbishop Niederauer
![]() |
| "Mormon Broker" Niederauer |
![]() |
| "American Pope" Dolan |
PROVO, Utah -- The fight to defend moral principles is linking Mormons and Catholics like never before.
"In recent years, Catholics and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have stood more frequently side by side in the public square to defend human life and dignity," Francis Cardinal George told nearly 12,000 students, faculty and community members gathered Tuesday at BYU.
"I'm personally grateful that after 180 years of living mostly apart from one another, Catholics and Latter-day Saints have begun to see each other as trustworthy partners in defense of shared moral principles." --- Cardinal George, President of USCCB, Feb 24, 2010
The
very gay marriage between the male rulers of
the American Roman Catholic Church and the male leaders of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a secret marriage as of this moment.
But
on a timeline, the official merger of Catholic and Mormon Mutual Self Interests
in America is about on schedule.
The
former Catholic bishop of Salt Lake City George Niederauer sent out a money
help call to his friends in the Mormons mostly, but definitely elites only, Country
Club in Salt Lake City in early 2008. He
needed the cash to fund Prop 8 on the November 2008 ballot to deny the civil
rights of Marriage Equality for Gays.
Like
why gives Gays rights like marriage when celibate priests are (?) trapped in
unmarried celibate hell?
The
Mormons gave Niederauer a “we’ll think about it”. Nothing much might have come of a Catholic
Bishop begging for chump change in his current hate campaign against the gays
except that in April 2008 all hell heck broke out in Temple Square, regarding the
arrests of break-away Mormons practicing the “P” word (polygamy) at the Zion
Ranch in Texas.
The
Mormon elites talked it over at the Country Club and decided that giving
Niederauer the scratch to attack the gays would keep the media off the child
rape forced marriage polygamy thing.
Besides the Catholics in charge know and appreciate the finer details of
the bible and the modern secular misinterpretation of child rape and have
hundreds of lawyers and PR people on retainer to deal with such things. Giving
the Catholics the money to attack the Gays will be a good thing to offset this
unpleasant Mormon thing in Texas.
Makes
sense. To me at least. And I am a believer that the timeline in history is a
better neutral interpreter of historical events than the mere opinion of
scholars.
Prop
8 was a success. Bigger plans and
elections to sway, fix and change America back to the good old simplistic days
of “Leave It To Beaver” Mormon American Morality. Whatever.
Public display of warmth between two hostile to
each other, in the past, groups was necessary.
And who better to seal and private deals than with a Cardinal, president
at the time of the whole bishop boys union, the USCCB.
Cardinal George also addressed the opposition that Catholics and Mormons have faced for their joint advocacy of human rights and dignity, citing the response from Proposition 8 opponents in California as an example.
“What I most regret is not the opposition, that is understandable ... And those of us who have gay people in their family as I have, know the anxieties and the conflicts in their own life. And we have to be there for them and love them and support them.”
But when Prop. 8 opponents “respond by thuggery, by quasi-fascist tactics, then the common good, our whole society, stands in great jeopardy,” Cardinal George said.
Opposition to the efforts of Catholics and LDS members should be expected, he added. “But despite that, if we stay together and go forward, … if we simply continue to talk together, (it) will in the end bear much fruit.”
Which leads us on the timeline to August 30, 2012
when Cardinal Timmy Dolan, Archbishop of New York City, President of the USCCB,
“the American Pope” is led into Mitt Romney’s hotel suite in Tampa, full of
Mormons, elites and relatives, and Cardinal Dolan does the obligatory bow to
the next president of the United States and Dolan kisses Mitt’s wedding ring in
Italian Roman, “our thing” respect.
Which leads to the opening question. Tim, what do Mormons taste like? Their ring
fingers at least?
Timmy has to protect his church’s tax free
status after having drooled over his boy Ryan and bowed to the Man Mitt. Off to
Charlotte and the Dem Convention for the minimum sake of pastoral appearances.
BTW, I am not all that interested in knowing what
Barry’s butt tastes like since Dolan will be kissing an awful lot of Democratic
butts this coming week in Charlotte with his Janus faced smile after his one real performance
in Tampa this past week.

Bill Donohue – Catholic League Down Low Kabuki Theater - Groeschel - Dolan - Cordileone
![]() |
| EWTN - Catholic Kabuki Theater - host Raymond Arroyo |
Bill Donohue is in rare form. His unpaid interns
are cranking out the comic book screed to help illustrate the Kabuki Down Low
Theatre of the American RCC of late. Shakespeare never could make this much
shit up out of real history, that is going on lately in the local rectory.
I was genuinely touched by his piece on the aging
Father Benedict Groeschel who empathizes with that “poor guy” Jerry Sandusky
and blames the victims of child abuse and rape as forcing vulnerable adult
priests into abusing and raping them.
I know that Groeschel’s show on EWTN is a cash
cow for his merry band of Franciscan brothers but don’t let reporters or people
from the district attorney’s office tap into the long term memory of a lifetime
professional shrink, apologist and coverup-er, enabler of priest problems and
crimes. Don’t let him near a tape recorder. Time to park that Model T in the
garage permanently, if you know what I mean.
My compliments to the author/intern on that one. No
spell check errors.
Bill
will be on with Kabuki master Raymond Arroyo, inspiration to me regarding
Catholic Kabuki as practiced on the Catholic TV network EWTN, on Sunday and
Monday. Check your local listings.
Bill
will be discussing Cardinal Dolan’s last minute invitation of hisself to the
Democratic Convention in Charlotte to protect his 501 (c) (3) tax status after
fawning on the GOP and all but endorsing the Romney Ryan Ticket. I am going to watch and listen to Bill defend
his drinking buddy and personal friend Tim Dolan. Donohue will probably not reveal any yummy gossip
from Tim like “what do Mormons taste like?” in that scripted kabuki interview with
Ray Arroyo.
And
finally onto Bishop Cordileone and his DUI this past weekend. Bill quotes I
think from some porn site to excite the reading audience and paint the picture
of what a Sodom and Gomorrah San Francisco is and poor holy Sal Cordileone who has
to inherit it, such a horrible evil place, and must attempt it to bring it back
to the one true Plaster Catholic god.
Gay blog sites have also picked up on this theme. Why? San Francisco is a city where men [read: gays] are free to walk around naked in the street in front of women and children. They can even walk into McDonalds totally nude and park themselves next to Ronald McDonald, provided, the law says, they place a towel on their seat (hygiene matters). Next month homosexuals will whip each other in the street and have sex in public at the Folsom Street Fair. This is the city that Cordileone will soon inherit.
(the
only thing missing above is the booze and the words “catholic seminary” written
over that MickyD’s front door girl)
Which
leaves us with questions as to how fast Sal got his boy toy out of the country
under varying short term media descriptive labels (now erased), labels such as “young priest from overseas” to “foreign exchange
student from Germany” to “young male companion” in the passenger seat with 88
year old mom in the back seat as Chaperone or dare I say it Pimping for Junior and or providing cover/beard, plausibility. I ran into a few mother daughter acts in my
dating days and the mom, gay son act variation too once from a relative etc.
In
any case, Bill and Ray on EWTN will be great theater this weekend. My regards to Bill’s ghostwriters, on this
rather exceptional energetic cranking out the script/screed lately.
Cheers!

A House of Prayer
![]() |
St Thomas/High Altar/5 Av/53 St/NYC
|
From a journal – May 2003
...Rushing to my express bus on Fifth Avenue I glanced up the steps into an unused entrance to Saint Thomas Episcopal Church, a structure I have mentioned before in this journal – (a place where I have gone to pray and mediate and admire the unique massive stone altar piece and stained glass)...
I saw a Muslim engaged in his 4th (?) prayer of the day. He was shoeless – white socks on gray stone – I had seen something like this before, at this same spot, on a cold dark winter night at 5:30 P.M. last winter or one winter ago – one loses track of time here in New York –
...glanced before, at that time, and did not pay much attention to that scene – (did not wish to stare or to intrude on prayer which can be both a public or a private thing). (I was also in a hurry to catch my bus). Later I tried to recollect the scene, reconstruct the scene – but the memory did not fit. Was not reminded of it again until today.
I thought that there were stone saint icons on the side of that locked wooden door area. Today, in less darkness, I noticed the angle of the pray-er’s focus. That focus was not in the direction of the stone statues but on stone support columns – round pillars rising up to typical gothic angle – an arabic angle? – a muslim angle? Which came first, the gothic or the...-
Does not matter. I am reminded of this pray-er and Isaiah’s words. “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” Those words more than ever are needed today in this world.
God be praised!...

Todd Akin’s Friend Father Benedict Groeschel – on Child Abuse – the Victim’s Fault - Sick!
TV evangelist priest Father Benedict Groeschel misses
the good old days when you could rape children and get away with it – He lives
and works in Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s ”Moral” Bailiwick?
"Director of the Office for Spiritual Development
for the Catholic
Archdiocese of New York"??? Does he work in an office next door to Bill Donohue at the Catholic League?
(9:25 PM 31 August 2012 EST -- There are sixteen edits, changes, to Wikipedia, in Benedict Groeschel's history data file today, viewed upon later inspection. As of 10:51AM 31 August 2012 EST my quote stands as “He is the director of the Office for Spiritual Development for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York”. Many other changes on Wiki for 30 August as well. So many changes and so little time.)
1:49 PM 1 September 2012 - Apparently Groeschel has a huge history, a lot of baggage of enabling priests to continue to abuse children.

Gina Rinehart is so Rich and so Fat She wants Australia for Lunch – Princess of Woop Woop - worth $30 Billion
![]() |
| Gina Rinehart - Princess of Woop Woop in Oz |
Once again it is those lazy poor people living off the system who make life so miserable for the very RICH. Princess of Woop Woop Land in Australia Gina Rinehart thinks $15.96 minimum wage Austalian, $1.029 to $1.00 American rate, is a burden for her company to pay for a working man to support his family for his first 38 hours of labor.
She is jealous that Americans only get $7.25 minimum wage in the United States and wants a similar deal for workers in Oz.
What a fucking greedy pig! Go buy a bottle of shampoo darling and a bar of soap too I think while you are at it as well.
Oh dear. Where
is the catsup mate? I want to eat Australia for lunch! Same as the Koch
Brothers are already munching on America’s assets.
Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart, the richest woman in the world (yes, richer even than Christy Walton) must think she’s some kind of Dagny Taggart OR SOMETHING. Rinehart penned an offensive editorial column in a mining industry magazine that’s being widely condemned in Australia. Considering that she owns much of the media there, and undoubtedly many a politician, too, that seems significant.
Rinehart’s fortune is estimated to be in the range of $30 billion and apparently the mining heiress thinks those drunken shrimp-on-the-barbie poors are just jealous of people like her and her rich friends. During a month when Rinehart is actively engaged in petitioning the government to lower the minimum wage and slash taxes on the wealthy, her timing couldn’t be worse.
Setting aside the fact that it’s patently ridiculous that a single family could be allowed to make that kind of money by mining a natural (and therefore national) resource like iron ore out of the ground, Rinehart inherited her fucking money in the first place (Just like Francisco d’Anconia inherited his copper mines in Atlas Shrugged, eh? And remind me again how Dagny Taggart came to be running Taggart Transcontinental? Ah, yes, through an accident of birth!) Via Raw Story:
“There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire. If you’re jealous of those with more money, don’t just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working. Become one of those people who work hard, invest and build, and at the same time create employment and opportunities for others”
Rinehart blamed what she described as “socialist”, anti-business policies for the plight of Australia’s poor, urging the government to lower the minimum wage, as well as taxes, unless it wanted to end up like Greece.
