At this stage of the coming Global Culture, in its ongoing
development, you have those who now have the upper hand, the “people” who do
not care about People - and the People who do care about other People.

Bishop Omsted’s New Phoenix Arizona Fantasy Cathedral Downtown
What any ambitious RC cleric in the United States needs
is a new fantasy cathedral not unlike the hideous $200 concrete box cathedral
in Los Angeles (right) or the equally hideous $200 million dirigible hanger cathedral in Oakland
California (below).
Doing some research on Bishop Olmsted’s tacit support of
all things Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, especially Joe’s secular Culture of Death
with its unexplained, uninvestigated, mysterious deaths of minorities at
Maricopa County Jail, I ran into this article about the sudden critical need to
have more seating, like at a sporting event, in a new big improved sports
stadium, in the RC Cathedral in Phoenix.
 |
| Sts. Simon and Jude Cathedral, Phoenix Area |
The present Cathedral of St. Simon and St. Jude on the
west side off the highway I-17 only has 1200 seats for important clerical events.
The old Basilica of St. Mary’s downtown, run by the Franciscans, only sits 850
bottoms at important sporting religious events.

The need is at this stage of real estate negotiations to
enlarge St. Mary’s with an expansion of a rather plain, mediocre wood and
stucco structure that would not meld easily into any modern expansion or
construction.
I see them tearing it down,
citing “termites”; it is an ugly obsolete structure, after they wrestle the
Franciscans for the property rights, in the middle of the most expensive real
estate in Arizona, recession or no recession.
And some comments from the faithful in Phoenix:
mojo43Jun-23 @ 7:28 AM What a great place to properly represent the diocese today as it is led by the current bishop. St Mary's history includes forcing those who were of a darker skin color and who spoke primarily spanish into the basement for their masses rather than in the main church with the catholics of European descent. This bishop is well known for favoring whiter, more affluent churches over the poorer ones whose worshipers are from countries south of our border. Most of the money from collection plates stay with the affluent churches where it is needed less rather than with the poorer ones whose parishioners have the most need for help. …You're fricken right I'm disgruntled! My family was among the many who contributed to the development of that church only to be treated as lesser than the whites. They had no choice but to help found Immaculate Heart where they would be considered as worthy of God's Graces as those of European descent.
And the Bishop has shown time and time again that he is willing to disregard the needs of the poorer (brown skinned) churches over those of the affluent (white skinned) ones. How the diocese money is spent along with his disregard for priests who work with the poorest of the poor is proof. Have you ever talked with priests and parishioners from the poorer churches and catholic schools? Have you ever even visited them, helped contribute to their well being while in your ivory tower? I doubt it.
I have volunteered countless hours with the poorer of the faithful and with others have tried at great lengths to get help from the richer churches and the diocese only to be turned away. They'd rather spend their money fighting gay rights and issues important to their wealthy members than give much thought to the dire conditions of many of the poorer congregations and schools.

Jun-23 @ 8:56 AM Kind of sad to me. I went to Ss. Simon and Jude, class of 1986, and Brophy. I was there in 1987 when John Paul II came, that's where the big cross came from outside. Let's call a duck a duck. Ss. Simon and Jude, when I was growing up, was in the middle of middle-class-ville. Not so much anymore. Most of the old time parishioners are gone and replaced by mostly Spanish-Speaking people. The Church wants to move because there is no money at 27th and Maryland. If they go downtown, they'll have hotels, restaurants, etc. Instead of a 1/3 expansion at SS&J, or even a 1/4 expansion at St. Francis, they'd rather do a 1/2 expansion at St. Mary'?

Phoenix Corrupt Elite and Joe Arpaio’s Culture of Death Makes a Power Grab into Public Schools, Armed Seizure of Power, Like It or Not America
 |
| Overlords Omsted and Arpaio - Phoenix / Maricopa |
Once again, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County (Phoenix)
Arizona, like Wayne LaPierre, does not mention his religion in his Wikipedia
bio. Why? On a secret mission for the pope? That or he does not want the local Methodists and or Mormons to know that a Pape is in charge as the one true local warlord in an international border state such as Arizona?
Appeals to Phoenix's Bishop Tommy Olmsted regarding Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s
secular Culture of Death at Maricopa County Jail fell on the deaf RC cleric’s
ears even after protests at Joe’s Church of the Ascension in exclusive rich
white gated armed Fountain Hills, Arizona last August.

Uber-Catholic, Tea Party fanatic Joe Arpaio's Armed
Posse / Vigilante / Militia is now up and running, roaming the streets of
Phoenix looking for Wayne LaPierre’s “Bad Guys”- i.e. the dark skinned ones.
An eighty year old Sheriff of Maricopa County (Phoenix)
has taken Wayne LaPierre’s advice and formed a vigilante committee of unvetted
armed yahoos to protect children in their schools.
As stated by Mother Jones’ reporter David Korn on MSNBC,
this vigilante “posse” which has no funds to vet its members and is by public
knowlwdge populated by men with felony convictions, some of which are sex
offences involving children.
What next with these lunatic roaming potential “rape
crews” in and around our public schools?
A football program – the Penn State, Notre Dame or Steubenville
working model ?
Or an extra RC auxialry bishop of two in Phoenix appointed by Joe
the Pope INC to handle the public safety of the children, fresh meat, in the
public schools of Maricopa County now subject to King Joe Arpaio's senile racist sexist pink underwear fantasy whims???

Dies Irae - Day of Wrath - Notre Dame
Dies Irae - Day of Wrath – Day of JudgmentAt Notre Dame, belief in the sanctity of life, a Sacred, a genuine heartfelt belief by many, would seem by the very nature of the modern age to has been corrupted, co-mingled, marshaled to champion politics, the Profane.
More so than the death of innocents through abortion is the death of Civility in the American Town Square, once real and now virtual. It would seem that there is a culture of death of sorts on both sides of this matter.
Dies Irae as a hymn is part of the ancient pre-Vatican II Mass for the dead.
On these matters that I would prefer not to touch with a ten foot pole, I turn to art, music, poetry...
I choose this very modern poetic translation of Dies Irae from the very dead language of Latin.
The day of wrath, that day(http://www.globalserve.net/~bumblebee/diesirae.html )
which will reduce the world to ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sybil.
What terror there will be,
when the Lord will come
to judge all rigorously!
The trumpet, scattering a wondrous sound
among the graves of all the lands,
will assemble all before the Throne.
Death and Nature will be astounded
when they see a creature rise again
to answer to the Judge.
The book will be brought forth
in which all deeds are noted,
for which humanity will answer.
When the judge will be seated,
all that is hidden will appear,
and nothing will go unpunished.
Alas, what will I then say?
To what advocate shall I appeal,
when even the just tremble?
O king of redoutable majesty,
who freely saves the elect,
save me, o fount of piety!
Remember, merciful Jesus,
that I am the cause of your journey,
do not lose me on that day.
You wearied yourself in finding me.
You have redeemed me through the cross.
Let not such great efforts be in vain.
O judge of vengeance, justly
make a gift of your forgiveness
before the day of reckoning.
I lament like a guilty one.
My faults cause me to blush,
I beg you, spare me.
You who have absolved Mary,
and have heard the thief's prayer,
have also given me hope.
My prayers are not worthy,
but you, o Good One, please grant freely
that I do not burn in the eternal fire.
Give me a place among the sheep,
separate me from the goats
by placing me at your right.
Having destroyed the accursed,
condemned them to the fierce flames,
Count me among the blessed.
I prostrate myself, supplicating,
my heart in ashes, repentant;
take good care of my last moment!
That tearful day,
when from the ashes shall rise again
sinful man to be judged.
Therefore pardon him, o God.
Merciful Lord Jesus,
give them rest.
Amen.
