Accused molester no longer a priest Vatican defrocks notorious Hanley 3/14/03 by Brian T. Murray Star-Ledger Staff "A retired Morris County priest accused of sexually abusing at least a dozen children decades ago has been ejected from the priesthood by Pope John Paul II. The Rev. James T. Hanley, now 65 and long retired, was never criminally prosecuted on the allegations that date back to the 1960s because they were reported years too late. However, under heavy pressure from his victims last year, Hanley voluntarily petitioned the pope in June for laicization, or removal from the priesthood." http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-3/1047626038190650.xml
Finding Elizabeth She was in plain sight. A girl missing for nine months suddenly shows up, alive. Elizabeth Smart's journey to hell and back again-and the healing that lies ahead by Dirk Johnson and Elise Christenson NEWSWEEK March 24, 2003 issue "The Mormon church has publicly disavowed Mitchell and Barzee, releasing a statement last week that the pair had long ago been "excommunicated for activity promoting bizarre teachings and lifestyle far afield from the principles and doctrines of the church." Michael Otterson, a spokesman for the church, would not elaborate on the specifics. But the church considers practicing polygamy—officially forbidden since 1890—ground for excommunication." http://www.msnbc.com/news/885457.asp?0cv=KB10&cp1=1#BODY
Please note by listing this we are not necessarily endorsing this group. This is fyi only. A Gentle Introduction to Trance Theory Dennis R. Wier - Director, The Trance Institute, Bruetten, Switzerland "I claim that the necessary and sufficient condition for a trance to occur is whenever there is a sustained cognitive object loop of sufficient length of time to cause dissociation. A cognitive object is an abstract way to denote a thought, any thought, whether it is a word, and idea, a feeling, a vision. When a set of cognitive objects repeat often enough, you will go into a trance." "Most forms of neurotic and psychotic behavior exhibit repeated actions or verbalizations. From a trance theory perspective, any repeated cognitive object loop induces a trance with a consequent disabling of cognitive functions. It is too early to state with conviction which loops cause which cognitive functions to become disabled, or to identify specific therapeutic strategies for pathological trance. But, the application of trance theory to these behaviors is promising." http://www.trance.edu/intro.htm

Church offers $4m payout for abuse 17 March 2003 "Fifty-six men allegedly abused as boys at a Christchurch Catholic residential school are being offered compensation payments totalling $4 million. The St John of God Order hopes the payments - the largest ever offered by a religious order in New Zealand - will bring a "sad and sorry situation to closure". The Australasian head of the Order, Brother Peter Burke, said yesterday that he had written to 56 of more than 70 complainants offering them compensation for the sexual abuse they allegedly suffered at Marylands, a Christchurch school for boys with intellectual and learning disabilities run by the Order until 1984." http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,2335017a10,00.html

Emergency Appeal to the U.N.
President Bush is pushing hard for a second Security Council resolution that would authorize war against Iraq. But millions of us believe that a war on Iraq would be wrong -- especially when tough inspections can disarm Saddam Hussein without the loss of a single life.

Suitcase surprise: Rebuke written on inspection notice By Susan Gilmore Seattle Times staff reporter Seth Goldberg says that when he opened his suitcase in San Diego after a flight from Seattle this month, the two "No Iraq War" signs he'd picked up at the Pike Place Market were still nestled among his clothes. But there was a third sign, he said, that shocked him. Tucked in his luggage was a card from the Transportation Security Administration notifying him that his bags had been opened and inspected at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Handwritten on the side of the card was a note, "Don't appreciate your anti-American attitude!" "I found it chilling and a little Orwellian to have received this message," said Goldberg, 41, a New Jersey resident who was in Seattle visiting longtime friend Davis
Oldham, a University of Washington instructor. Goldberg says that when he took his suitcase off the airplane in San Diego, the zipper pulls were sealed with nylon straps, which indicated TSA had inspected the luggage. It would be hard, he said, for anyone else to have gotten inside his bags. TSA officials say they are looking into the incident. "We do not condone our employees making any kind of political comments or personal comments to any travelers," TSA spokeswoman Heather Rosenker told Reuters. "That is not acceptable."
