The Vulgate, or Versio Vulgata (”commonly used translation”) is the Roman Catholic Church’s official Latin version of the Bible as translated by St. Jerome in the 4th Century. It is not the vulgar or common man’s language, whatever that means.

The KJV is a translation in Elizabethan English. It has errors in translation, the most seasonally famous: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

The correct translation (Douay Rheims): “Glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace to men of good will.”

Elizabethan English might sound lyrical to our modern ears but it was how the English commonly spoke in the early 17th Century.

Unless you can talk fast and loudly enough to drown out his incessant interruptions and spin, don’t bother.

Of course, this could be a red herring.

That’s another one. He credits the Kennedys for the airlift. He strongly implies that JFK was in the White House at the time. But for him to have been conceived in time to be born August 8, 1961, his conception would have to have been in November, 1960 which is during the Eisenhower years. The August 1960 story in Time linked below is about the election year wrangling over the airlift. It hadn’t happened by that time.

That is an example of typically sloppy, biased reporting. The so-called “Vatican sanction” is not church approval as the story implies. It refers to a papal blessing certificate displayed on the wall, but just about anybody can get one of those. My mother-in-law has one. Her mother had one. We got one for our choir director. It has nothing to do with enabling migrants to enter the US illegally. It has everything to do with the shelter’s taking in homeless people and caring for them in Christian charity. To be sure we have our share of leftwingers, both lay and religious, who make perfect interviewees and give the false impression that they represent the Church. They only represent themselves. I consider them to be an embarrassment.

I can see from some of the replies that I wasn’t clear. It was tongue-in-cheek to say that the US has eliminated terrorism in Iraq. The point was that BM news won’t identify terrorist acts as “terrorist.” Instead, they use “insurgent.” I recently read a news story which appears to be the beginning of a newer, more benign term: militants. And then McClatchy cranks it down even more by calling al Qaeda a “Sunni Muslim group.” We’re looking at a subtle, long-term brainwashing effort from BM news to disassociate Iraq from the WOT.

I really don’t expect them to credit Bush with success against terrorism. The point is that BM news is consciously avoiding the use of the word to disconnect Iraq from War on Terror. In fact, I don’t believe they called any of the plots in Britain terrorism or described the conspirators as terrorists. It is incongruous for BM news to report an increase in terrorists but then never report that terrorists are involved or behind the violence. It’s as if it were some sort of do-nothing club.

Big Media (BM) news tells us that the United States is breeding large numbers of terrorists in Iraq. But where are they? They don't do anything. BM news never reports any terrorist activity in Iraq. Violence in Iraq is always by "insurgents" although they are reporting that some is done by "militants" now and, as McClatchy reports, from "Sunni Muslim" groups like al Qaida. It is time for BM news to announce that the Bush policy has eliminated terrorism in Iraq--a significant gain in the War On Terror.

Don’t get your hopes up. Paul Morrison is Kansas AG largely because of support from the abortion mills and Tiller was his biggest contributor if you include the funds he laundered through various front groups. He bought ads and mailers attacking Phill Kline as well, again through his thinly disguised fronts. Morrison will show his gratitude for the support by getting Tiller a slap on the wrist at most. Tiller will be free to go on operating his butcher shop.

Interestingly, Eisenhower fully briefed the war correspondents before the D-Day invasion and then he sequestered the lot of them to keep them from reporting it ahead of time.

Although I am glad that there are clandestine CIA operations going on in Iran to destabilize the regime, I would rather not know and keep it as secure as possible. It is outrageous that a national news organization would reveal secret information like this to our enemies in the guise of news reporting. This certainly qualifies as giving aid to the enemy.

"Liberation theology" = Karl Marx in a Jesus mask.

Time to bring back excommunication.

The Catholic Church does not have a pro-amnesty stance. Some of the bishops and clergy do, but they represent themselves. The Church has no stance on the issue whatsoever.

I doubt that he's a mass murderer. He was only about 16 or 17 when the war ended.

He probably did. I can see a rebellious teenager with wanderlust running off to join the army. He would have been 16 or 17 when the war ended. The Germans were scraping the bottom of the barrel at that time and putting kids in battle.

Which is why we refer to it as "playing God"--something that should be restricted to God alone.

I suspect it would involve dual citizenship. I wonder if they will have to pay taxes to "Mother Africa" as a result.

How about a boycott of NYT advertisers? It doesn't have to be limited to New York, either. I'd bet there are plenty of advertisers that do business in other cities across the country.
Since I don't read it in Kansas City, I don't know who runs ads in it but I'd expect Macy's does and they just took over several department store chains in places like KC, St. Louis and Denver.
There have to be others. General Motors? Honda? I don't mean local dealers. I mean corporate ads.
Cell phone companies.
Who are their biggest advertisers?
Let them know that there is a price to pay for treason.
