In the name of the
children; Anti-porn crusaders hide behind our kids;
USA: Press comment: (source unknown), March 27th, 2001
The Children's Internet Protection Act is nothing more than the latest offensive
in the moralistic jihad against pornography. It is a key offensive in the
culture wars camouflaged by the twisted rubric of 'protecting children.' Shame
on its soldiers. This war exploits children by using their collective innocence
as a rhetorical shield in a vicious verbal crossfire that has simply *not yet*
spilled over into anti-abortion style violence.
Interpreting the
Satanic Legend, Journal of Religion and Health, Vol. 37, No 3, Fall
1998, pp. 249-263.
It is argued that the recent hysteria about Satanic cults can best be understood as a
moral panic and an urban legend. Data from a wide variety of sources, including the
author's own personal experience, are brought forward in support of this thesis. It is
then suggested that if we are not to remain at the mercy of the anxieties and distortions
that produced this moral panic, we must interpret the legend. The interpretation that is
offered is that this most recent outbreak of panic about Satanism is specifically about a
growing awareness of the ubiquity of intergenerational Eros.
Ipce, - Indigo
children, Ipce Newsletter E 24, march 2008.
This is a new word for children who are clairvoyant. Indigo is one of
the colors in their aura, the prevailing one. They were already born
back in the sixties, but not many people listened to them, or understood
them, so they were quite unlucky. [...]
Characteristic for these children is their authenticity. They
maintain their feelings and opinions intact and it is not possible to
manipulate them. This might change society.

The Pope's Sex Abuse Challenge;
Time. April 11, 2008
Benedict's is the first papal trip to the United States since the priest sex abuse crisis erupted in 2001. It is a
controversy that has left much of the American laity bitterly disillusioned with their Church's leadership. For many of the 67 million
American Catholics, how the Pope confronts the lingering fallout from the pedophilia scandal may largely determine the success of this visit.
