Opus Dei Moonie Cult Hotel? Domus-Troost Project – Kansas City MO – Bishop Finn

The good Catholics of Kansas City have lowered their contributions during the recent unpleasantness of Bishop Bob Finn overlooking the kiddie porn hobby of his friend Father Ratigan.

But the Bishop wants a legacy and is suddenly interested in student housing near a secular and Jesuit university and crammed into the tiny urban lot of a defunct catholic school.

Legacy? Investment? Competing with the local private housing industry with a tax free 501(c) corporation to build an Opus Dei Housing Project – a Moonie Cult Hotel in the neighborhood to recruit from the local universities?

Whatever.

The Kansas City Catholic diocese’s plans for student housing on Troost Avenue drew a storm of neighborhood opposition Tuesday as a citizens panel reviewed the project.

The City Plan Commission postponed a rezoning decision until Nov. 6 on plans by the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph to build a 103-unit building geared toward students attending Rockhurst University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Leaders of the neighborhoods surrounding the proposed site, on the west side of Troost Avenue near 53rd Street, complained the diocese has not communicated fully or honestly with them. They also argued the proposed design is too big, will exacerbate existing parking and traffic problems, and will negatively affect Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church.

“This project is shoe-horned in so tight it doesn’t fit the space,” said Ken Spare, president of the Crestwood Homes Association. “We are vehemently opposed to this.”

Jude Huntz, chancellor of the diocese, said the diocese thought it had addressed the concerns and he was sorry about any miscommunication. He said the next step will be to meet again with the project’s critics to try to find a resolution.

The five-story building would be on the site of the former St. Francis Xavier School, across from Rockhurst and a few blocks from UMKC. The elementary school, empty for a few years, would be torn down.

The building would be owned by the diocese and built by Domus, which has built Catholic residence halls in other cities.

Ju$tice at Bi$hop Finn Child Abu$e Trial Expected in Kan$a$ City Tomorrow (Wink, Nod)

http://www.kansascity.com/2012/09/05/3798102/bishop-finns-trial-moved-to-thursday.html

“---Almost a year after Bishop Robert Finn and his diocese were charged with failing to report child-abuse suspicions, they will appear in court today to lay their case before a judge and not a jury.

In a surprising move made public Wednesday in a court filing, the bishop and the church have agreed to have a judge decide in a bench trial whether they are guilty. The move avoids a lengthy jury trial, which was set to open Sept. 24.

Prosecutors and lawyers representing Finn and the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph are sorting through a series of facts about the case, a spokesman for Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said.

“This means that all the parties in the case — the diocese, Bishop Finn and the prosecutor’s office — are negotiating what the facts and testimony will be,” said Mike Mansur. “Those will be presented to the judge.”

Jackson County Circuit Judge John Torrence is expected to issue verdicts today.

Finn and the diocese each face two misdemeanor counts of failing to report suspicions of child abuse involving their handling of hundreds of lewd photographs found on the Rev. Shawn Ratigan’s laptop computer.

Each charge against Finn carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The diocese faces a fine of up to $5,000 for each charge.---“

Greece the Cradle of Democracy About to Descend into Euro-Slavery – Forced Six Day Work Week Proposed

New Economic World Order - Euro Slavery in Greece

Another brilliant idea of Economists and MBAs, the same morons that created this economic mess to begin with. When did they become the undisputed High Priests of Capitalism?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/sep/04/eurozone-six-day-week-greece

"--The letter, sent last week to the Greek finance and labour ministries, orders the government to extend the working week into the weekend.

"Measure: increase flexibility of work schedules: increase the number of maximum workdays to six days per week for all sectors.

"Increase flexibility of work schedules; set the minimum daily rest to 11 hours; delink the working hours of employees from the opening hours of the establishment; eliminate restrictions on minimum/maximum time between morning and afternoon shifts; allow the consecutive two-week leave to be taken anytime during the year in seasonal sectors."

The instructions focus on labour market reforms, calling for the national labour inspectorate to be radically reformed and put under European supervision.

The letter reveals the detail of eurozone intrusion into a national system and culture of work widely seen outside Greece as dysfunctional.

There should be a permanent "single-rate statutory minimum wage", seen as an incentive for getting people back to work in a country where unemployment has soared to around 30%.

"Unemployment is too high, and policies are needed to prevent it from becoming structural," the letter says.

The letter also calls for non-wage labour costs to be lowered, employers' welfare contributions to be cut, and deregulation of the labour market.--"

Haley Barbour – GOP Twunt of the Hour - - Using Coded Racist Slavist - S & M Homoerotic Lingo or Wishful Regicide?

Branding Captured Africans - First Step into Slavery

A mixed message out of former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour which operates on all different levels, S & M, Branding of Slaves, Regicide of a sitting US President and introducing Chris Christie into his homoerotic fantasy and or assassination wish.

http://www.americablog.com/2012/09/did-haley-barbour-make-assassination.html

Barbour offered a brief assessment of the Republican National Convention. “While I would love for [Chris] Christie to put a hot poker to Obama’s butt,” said Barbour of the RNC keynote speaker, “I thought he did what he was supposed to do.” 

A reader pointed out something far worse than the already-incredible racism that underlies a southerner with a history of racist problems suggesting that a black man be branded. A reader writes: 

Politico has completely missed the disgustingly homophobic angle on Haley Barbour's comment to donors that Chris Christie should have "put a hot poker to Obama’s butt." 

How obsessively bigoted is this man? A hot poker shoved into the anus and bowels is the reputed method used to assassinate King Edward II of England because he had a male lover. 

How does an infamous method of murdering a gay man centuries ago make it's way into that man's working vocabulary?

Hitler Still not a Popular Name in Retail

"----The owners of a new Indian clothing store called Hitler say they will rename it after receiving complaints. Rajesh Shah, one of the shop's co-owners, told the BBC there would be a new name "tomorrow or the day after". Jews in the city of Ahmedabad, where the shop opened last month, said using the Nazi dictator's name was offensive. Israeli diplomats also raised the issue with the Gujarat state government. The owners said they did not know who Adolf Hitler was when the shop opened. Mr Shah told the BBC: "Yes we are planning to change the name. There has been too much political pressure from the government." He said officials had promised compensation for the rebranding of the store, which sells men's clothing, although he said they had provided nothing in writing. His co-owner, Manish Chandani, told AFP news agency they had never intended to glorify Hitler.----"

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!

Lyin’ Ryan Runs 6.56 Minute Miles in 1990 Marathon?

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 minute, and 25 seconds”.
