FEEDBACK LOOP IN ROME: G8 and Italy

FEEDBACK LOOP DEFINITION ( FOR EXAMPLE, REGARDING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH):

In a feedback loop, the rising temperature on the Earth changes the environment in ways that then create even more heat. Scientists consider feedback loops the single-biggest threat to civilization from global warming.


B''H

To all,

I told you that part II of the Cenacle video was going to arrive shortly. Here it is.

I guess these kinds of events don't make headlines - and I wonder why; as a matter of fact, for some reason, I always have to go fishing in different languages to uncover those pearls. Today the pearl was written in French and Spanish - no English, no German, and certainly no Hebrew translation here!

What is going on, is that the Vatican is feverishly working to arrive at a document, allegedly underwritten by 'all major religions'' - but this is a big joke , of course, when you realize WHO the representatives of the religions are. To give you an example, the supposed "CHIEF RABBI "representing Jewish interests is an 88 year old rabbi, for G-d's sake. I am not saying, the man lived a very honorable life, and is worthy of respect. But is he COMPETENT to represent Jewish interests, at this stage of his life? The church itself automatically retires popes after a certain age, so this is a cynical use of an old man for ulterior purposes.

This is just one example of the ILLEGITIMACY of this meeting.

Also to be noted is the MAIN SPEAKER of the event, Andrea Riccardi, founder of the catholic organization Saint Egidio, who last month received the CHARLEMAGNE PRIZE in Aachen , Germany. I want to remind you that the Cathedral of Aachen is the model for the CHURCH OF THE DORMITION in Jerusalem, around Har Zion, from where the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE is supposed to rule the world, with the pope and Germany at its helm, and the United Nations as its ruling body.

So this delightful character Riccardi, an expert at such interfaith meetings - he held another one in Aachen in 2003, that was very well attended by rabbis as well- , is going to be the centerpiece of this event. That should tell you where it is all leading to.

And out of this conference, which is taking place AS OF TODAY, IN ROME, a DOCUMENT is supposed to emerge, that will give UNIVERSAL, RELIGIOUS LEGITIMACY TO THE CRIMES ABOUT TO BE COMMITTED AGAINST ISRAEL, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE QUARTET MEETING, AND THE G8 MEETING, later this month.

To that effect we have the cooperation of Ban-Ki Moon of the UN, putting pressure on Israel to restart the "PEACE PROCESS"of death.

We have Jimmy Carter, visiting Gaza, brought to tears by the poor Gazans 'treated like animals" by Israel - of course, the war of aggression by Gaza against Israel is all but forgotten.

We also have the UN war crime probe going on at the same time....

... And a slew of other players I have not mentioned.

The whole thing is being choreographed, orchestrated perfectly by the Vatican out of ROME, ITALY, and will be highlighted in AQUILA, WHICH WAS FLATTENED BY HASHEM, IF YOU RECALL, ON EREV PESSACH, DURING BIRKAT HACHAMAH.

I WONDER IF THEY PICKED THE WRONG PLACE FOR THEIR EVIL PLOT AIMED AT AM YISRAEL!



Présentation de la 4e rencontre des responsables des religions mondiales

Elle se tiendra à Rome, en vue du G8 de L’Aquila

ROME, Mardi 16 juin 2009 (ZENIT.org) - Ces trois dernières années, juste avant les rencontres des représentants des Gouvernements du G8, des rencontres entre différents représentants des Eglises chrétiennes et des grandes religions mondiales se sont déroulées sur des thèmes prévus à l'agenda des représentants des gouvernements.

Le but : développer un dialogue entre les représentants religieux capable d'affronter les grands thèmes de politique et d'actualité, afin de produire un document synthétique à présenter au chef du gouvernement du pays d'accueil du G8, et donc à l'assemblée politique des représentants.

La 4e rencontre des responsables des religions mondiales, qui s'est ouverte ce 16 juin à Rome, a été présentée le 15 juin à Radio Vatican, en vue du G8 (Canada, France, Allemagne, Italie, Japon, Russie, Royaume-Uni et Etats-Unis) qui se déroulera au mois de juillet à L'Aquila (Italie).

Dans son intervention, Mgr Vincenzo Paglia, président de la commission de la Conférence épiscopale italienne pour l'œcuménisme et le dialogue interreligieux, a expliqué que « la dimension religieuse est essentielle pour le développement, pour la vie en commun et pour la paix entre les peuples ».

Les deux jours de discussion seront consacrés au thème prioritaire au centre du G8, comme celui de l'eau, de la sécurité alimentaire, de la santé, de l'éducation, de la paix et de la sécurité. Une attention particulière sera donnée à l'Afrique, en plus de réfléchir sur la nécessité de repenser et de réécrire les lignes directrices de l'économie mondiale en partant d'un point de vue éthique.

« Le ‘pouvoir' religieux - a en effet affirmé Mgr Paglia - n'est pas un ‘pouvoir' extérieur, il est tout intérieur, parce qu'il est basé sur les cœurs, sur ces forces spirituelles qui sont profondes dans l'histoire. Mais sans elles, les autres pouvoirs risquent d'être fondés sur l'argile ».

La rencontre s'ouvrira par une visite de L'Aquila, dans les zones touchées par le tremblement de terre du 6 avril dernier.

Par la suite, les 80 représentants de l'Eglise catholique, des autres dénominations chrétiennes, du monde juif, islamique, bouddhiste et de la World Conference of Religions for Peace du Japon, se rendront dans l'après-midi à Rome où ils seront reçus en audience par le président de la république italienne Giorgio Napolitano.

C'est la ‘Villa Madama' (Ministère des Affaires étrangères) qui accueillera les participants au sommet religieux. C'est là que se tiendra la session d'ouverture présidée par Sa Béatitude Abuna Paulos, patriarche de l'Eglise d'Ethiopie.

Après l'intervention de Mgr Vincenzo Paglia, Franco Frattini, ministre des affaires étrangères et le cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, président du Conseil pontifical pour le dialogue interreligieux, introduiront la session.

L'intervention principale a été confiée au professeur Andrea Riccardi, historien et fondateur de la Communauté Sant-Egidio. Certaines contributions seront ensuite proposées par Sa Béatitude Aram I, Catholicos de Cilicie des Arméniens ; par Mordechai Piron, ancien rabbin chef de l'armée israélienne ; par Mustafa Ceric, grand Mufti de Sarajevo, et par Nichiko Niwano, président de la Rissho Kosei Kai du Japon.

Mercredi 17 juin 2009, la session plénière de la 4e rencontre des responsables religieux se tiendra au Ministère des affaires étrangères. La session sera présidée par Mgr Vincenzo Paglia.

Quatre interventions sont prévues, par l'archiprêtre George Riabykh, du Patriarcat de Moscou ; par le rév. Nikolaus Schneider, de l'Eglise évangélique d'Allemagne ; par le rév. Leonid Kishkovsky, de la World Conference of Religions for Peace (Etats-Unis); et par Maria Voce, présidente du Mouvement des Focolari. D'autres interventions de responsables sont prévues l'après-midi.

Au terme de la rencontre, un document final sera publié - suivi des conclusions par Mgr Vincenzo Paglia - que le président du Conseil Silvio Berlusconi remettra aux pays du G8.

Comienza el IV Encuentro de Líderes de las Religiones del Mundo

Se celebrará en Roma con motivo del G8 en L'Aquila

ROMA, martes 16 de junio de 2009 (ZENIT.org).- Con motivo de la reunión del Grupo de los siete países más industrializados y Rusia (G8), que se celebrará en la ciudad italiana flagelada por el terremoto, L'Aquila, del del 8 al 10 de julio, se ha inaugurado el IV Encuentro de Líderes de las Religiones del Mundo.

El encuentro, que ha comenzado este martes en Roma, se celebra como ya empieza a ser tradición en las últimas cumbres del G8 y reúne a representantes de las Iglesias cristianas y de las grandes religiones mundiales, sobre temas incluidos en la agenda de las reuniones de los representantes de los gobiernos.

Su objetivo consiste en establecer un diálogo entre los líderes religiosos para afrontar los grandes temas de la política y de la actualidad, con el objetivo de producir un documento sintético y propositivo para presentarlo al jefe del gobierno del país anfitrión y a la asamblea política de los representantes.

En la presentación, que tuvo lugar en la sede de Radio Vaticano, el presidente de la comisión de la Conferencia Episcopal Italiana para el ecumenismo y el diálogo interreligioso, el obispo Vincenzo Paglia, explicó que "la dimensión religiosa es esencial para el desarrollo, para la convivencia y para la paz entre las poblaciones".

Las dos jornadas de debate están afrontando temas prioritarios para el G8, como el agua, la garantía alimentaria, la salud, la educación, la paz y la seguridad.

Los participantes dedican una especial atención a África y también a reflejar la necesidad de replantear las directrices de la economía global desde un punto de vista ético.

"El 'poder' religioso --afirmó monseñor Paglia-- no es un 'poder' exterior, sino totalmente interior porque está basado en los corazones, en aquellas fuerzas espirituales que subyacen en la historia, pero sin él los otros poderes corren el riesgo de ser fundados sobre barro.

El encuentro ha comenzado con una visita a L'Aquila, a la zona afectada por el terremoto del pasado 6 de abril.

Seguidamente, los más de ochenta representantes de la Iglesia católica, de otras confesiones cristianas, del mundo judío, islámico, budista y de la Conferencia Mundial de Religiones por la Paz de Japón, tenían previsto el martes por la tarde a Roma ser recibidos en audiencia por el presidente de la República Italiana, Giorgio Napolitano.

El espléndido escenario de Villa Madama (sede del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores) acogeió después a los participantes del encuentro religioso y la sesión de apertura, presidida por Su Beatitud Abuna Paulos, Patriarca de la Iglesia de Etiopía.

Monseñor Vincenzo Paglia debía pronunciar el discurso de bienvenida, seguido de las intervenciones introductorias del ministro de Asuntos Exteriores Franco Frattini, y del presidente del Consejo Pontificio para el Diálogo Interreligioso, el cardenal Jean-Louis Tauran.

El historiador y fundador de la Comunidad de San Egidio, Andrea Riccardi, ha preparado el informe principal.

También debían ofrecer contribuciones para la reflexión Su Beatitud Aram I, Catholicós de Cilicia de los Armenios; el ex rabino jefe del ejército israelí, Mordechai Piron; el Gran Mufti de Sarajevo Mustava Ceric; y el presidente de la Rissho Kosei Kai de Japón, Nichiko Niwano.

La sesión plenaria del IV Encuentro de Líderes Religiosos se celebrará el miércoles 17 de junio en el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores (en la Sala de las Conferencias Internaciones) y estará presidida por monseñor Vincenzo Paglia.

Están previstas cuatro intervenciones, a cargo del arcipreste George Riabykh, del patriarcado de Moscú; del reverendo Nikolaus Schneider, de la Iglesia Evangélica de Rhineland (Alemania); del reverendo Leonid Kishkovsky, de la Conferencia de Religiones por la Paz (Estados Unidos), y de Maria Voce, presidenta del Movimiento de los Focolares.

Por la tarde seguirán las intervenciones de los otros líderes.

Al final del encuentro, se redactará el Documento final -seguido de las conclusiones, a cargo de monseñor Vincenzo Paglia-, que el presidente del Consejo de Ministros de Italia, Silvio Berlusconi, entregará a los ocho grandes del mundo.

U.N.'s Ban urges Israel, Palestinians to renew talks
Tue Jun 16, 2009 1:23pm EDT

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged Israel and the Palestinians to immediately resume peace negotiations aimed at securing a separate Palestinian state.

"We have been wasting too long (a) time on the peace and security in the Middle East," Ban told reporters. "I sincerely hope that, on the basis of a two-state vision, Israel and the Palestinians will immediately begin their negotiations."

Ban urged the two sides to stick to the 2003 Middle East roadmap that calls on Israel to halt settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank and for the Palestinians to rein in militants.

U.S. President Barack Obama also wants Israel and the Palestinians to resume peace talks as soon as possible and has welcomed as positive Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conditional endorsement this week of the goal of Palestinian statehood.

But it is unclear when negotiations over core issues will resume. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ruled out resuming the negotiations unless Netanyahu freezes building in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Ban said last week that he would attend a meeting of the quartet of Middle East peace negotiators -- the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia -- in Italy later this month.

U.N. diplomats have said the quartet meeting would likely take place on the sidelines of a gathering of foreign ministers of the Group of Eight club of wealthy industrial nations, who are scheduled to meet in Trieste June 26-27.

...While Carter is doing major incitement against Israel....
Carter says Gaza Palestinians treated like animals
Tue Jun 16, 2009 11:18am EDT
GAZA, June 16 (Reuters) - Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are being "treated more like animals than human beings", former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said on Tuesday.

On a visit to the enclave, he condemned Israel's January bombardment of Gaza and its continuing trade blockade, which he said forbids even children's toys.

"I understand that even paper and crayons are treated as a security hazard," he told Gazans at a local United Nations office. "I sought an explanation of this when I met with Israeli officials and I received none, because there is no explanation."

Carter, 84, has spent far more years as a human rights activist than he did in the White House from 1977 to 1981. He is easily the most outspoken former U.S. president on the Middle East conflict, and seen by many Israelis as a harsh critic.

He ignored a U.S. government ban on dealings with Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas and had talks with its leaders.

Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza in 2007 when Hamas took control after routing rival Fatah forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas, who favours a peace deal with Israel. In late December, Israeli forces bombed then invaded Gaza, devastating its already battered infrastructure.

Since then, Israel has blocked imports of steel, cement and other goods to the population of 1.5 million Palestinians, saying Hamas could use many items for military purposes.

Carter, a Democrat, said he had seen for himself there had been almost no reconstruction in Gaza over the past five months.

"Never before in history has a large community like this been savaged by bombs and missiles and then been deprived of the means to repair itself," he said. (Writing by Ori Lewis; Editing by Douglas Hamilton and Janet Lawrence)

Pius X Society: Restructuring of Ecclesia Dei Imminent


TORONTO, Canada, JUNE 15, 2009 (Zenit.org).- An announcement that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith will now oversee discussions with the Society of St. Pius X is imminent, says the society's general superior.

Bishop Bernard Fellay revealed to ZENIT that the congregation told him to expect the publication of a statement issued "motu proprio" (on his own initiative) by Benedict XVI on the new structure of Ecclesia Dei before June 20.

The bishop confirmed that he met June 5 with Cardinal William Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. During a visit today to Toronto, the general superior explained that the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, established precisely to oversee the process of healing the society's separation from the Church, will remain a distinct entity within the Church's dicastery for doctrinal matters.

"According to what we have heard," noted the bishop, "most probably, one of the monsignors of the congregation will be the executive head of Ecclesia Dei. So it will be very tightly united with the congregation."

Along with three other bishops ordained by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988 without Vatican approval, Bishop Fellay had been automatically excommunicated, only to have the penalty lifted in January by Benedict XVI.

The Society of St. Pius X still lacks the canonical status required for the legitimate exercise of ministry, which, according to the Pontiff in a letter sent in March to all the Church's bishops, will only be granted when the society accepts the authority of the Second Vatican Council, along with the magisterial teachings of popes since the council.

Since 2000, the pontifical commission has been led by Cardinal Dario Castrillón Hoyos, whom Bishop Fellay describes as "very friendly" to the society. The bishop shared that, even after his June 5 meeting with Cardinal Levada, he remains unsure how the expected changes will affect negotiations with the Vatican.

"I don’t know [Cardinal Levada] enough to really answer the question. […] When we were received it was very courteous. He was gentle. […] I don’t frankly know what and if there will be a real change."

...

Most pressing for the new Ecclesia Dei leadership will be averting a new series of excommunications. On June 27, Lefebvrite Bishop Alfonso de Galaretta is scheduled to ordain three priests and three deacons in the society's Zaitzkofen seminary in Bavaria, Germany. Bishop Gerard Muller of Regensburg has warned the society that, until the issue of canonical status is resolved, the ordinations lack proper authorization and would thus merit disciplinary action.

"Our bishop is waiting for Rome to advise on how to respond," said diocesan spokesperson Jakub Schotz earlier this month. "But it will almost certainly result in excommunication for these priests and the bishop who ordains them."

Bishop Fellay counters that the Society of St. Pius X already delayed subdiaconate ordinations in Regensburg earlier this year, and that he believes that the Vatican now "has no basic problems" with the upcoming priestly ordinations.

"We cannot just now say, 'stop breathing,'" he argues in defense of the society's continued administration of the sacraments. "We need to breathe. And, definitely, if the Pope was so good to take away the excommunications, that mean he doesn’t want us now to die."

The society is planning to proceed with the ordinations, despite Bishop Fellay’s concern that new excommunications could "jeopardize everything" and derail the society’s discussions with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Central to those talks will be the society's unambiguous condemnations of the Second Vatican Council, particularly in reference to the council’s affirmations of religious liberty, ecumenism and the separation of Church and state.

While the Swiss-born superior general prefers to resolve these doctrinal issues before he accepts canonical status in the Church, he insists that he is open to reaching a provisional compromise position with the Vatican.

"If Rome gives us enough guarantee, so to say, of survival, I think probably we would certainly consider it," he said. "We have no problem with the Church recognizing us, of course."
