Many saw Francis’ emphasis on simplicity as a saintly attribute, especially when he chose not to live in the papal palace but in the Vatican apartments. He was very quickly dubbed the “People’s Pope.”

Reports stated how the pope ordered a Swiss Guard who had been standing outside his apartment all night to sit down. When the guard said it was against orders, Francis replied, “I give the orders around here!” and then promptly went out to get the guard a cup of coffee.

Paying your own hotel bill and getting an overworked Swiss Guard a cup of coffee are ‘feel good’ stories that make up only a small part of this immensely complicated man.

O

ne of the most often used behavioral descriptors today is Attention Deficit Disorder, which basically means unable to sit still or focus for longer than a few

minutes. All parents know that ADD worsens when chores or homework are involved. And if we’re honest with ourselves we all suffer from Attention Deficit if the task at hand is something

we are not interested in, like say counting the stars in the universe.

Most of us would drift off into somnambulism in less than a few minutes of staring upward.

But fortunately for us,

the heavens were an early fascination for Galileo. He was the Italian engineer, physicist, and father of observational astronomy. That means a lot of night shifts looking up and wondering how things work. He lived and worked in the early 1600s, charting the phases of Venus, the breadth of the Milky Way, Jupiter’s moons and even sunspots. Galileo was wont to explore new realities based on science.

The universe held his

think about this: you can draw a straight line from Galileo sequestered in his primitive lab to Elon Musk and SpaceX. Galileo stuck with it when his friends abandoned him, when he was confined to his home, when he was feeling the affects of age.

He was curious and driven. Elon Musk is equally driven and fearless in his exploration. SpaceX is changing just about everything about space exploration, from reusable rockets, to greater payloads, to radical innovations in spacesuits and parachutes. Musk has a vision of what space holds for the future, and he is sticking to it no matter the obstacles.

Max is a different kind of explorer. He’s 6-years-old. His bedroom is littered with batterypowered contraptions that light up, move, rattle, and roll. His firstgrade teacher says Max has a hard time paying attention and he worked attention in class, yet Max will work for hours tirelessly to understand it, even after he was con- to figure out the electrical circuit between a battery, victed of heresy during a motor, and a propeller. the Inquisition and put He’s also building his under house arrest for own telescope. “I want to the last 10 years of his see what Jupiter’s rings life.

As we learn to channel the strength of materials. If that sounds boring our curiosity into actions and finally results, we learn the power of stickto-itiveness. Tenacity is the result of a challenge we give ourselves, a bigger vision to accomplish.

Someday Max will make the connection to what he is learning in school to what he is building in his room, the same way Galileo saw the importance of his research while confined to his house.

So maybe the next time we feel bored with a task or chore we need to look up at the stars…and challenge ourselves to reach for them.

Pride.” Francis got heavily political when he told reporters in 2015 that Donald Trump was “not Christian” because he had plans to build a wall along the border with Mexico to keep out illegal aliens. In response, Trump said that if the Vatican was ever attacked by the Islamic State, Francis would wish that he were president.

Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, was at one time one of the progressive architects of the Second Vatican Council (where he appeared in photo ops wearing a necktie) but became conservative towards the end of his pontificate, issuing his famous Summorum Pontificum in July 2007 which brought new life to the Traditional Latin Mass by giving permission to Catholic priests to celebrate it without the permission of a bishop.

The fever of reform

generated by the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s replaced the old Mass with guitar Masses, sappy sentimental hymns, altar girls in flip flops and Mrs. Broadbent from the church choir handing out the Eucharist instead of the priest. Catholic Church architecture also took a nose dive at this time, with high altars, statues and mosaics removed from churches and replaced by table altars (Julie Child’s table) and baptismal fonts that resembled Las Vegas hotel hot tubs. The new Mass, or the Novus Ordo, was specifically designed to make the Mass less mystical and more Protestant-friendly.

The sad fact is that Francis, the Jesuit from Argentina, has always had a hatred of Tradition and the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM).

When Benedict XVI issued his Summorum Pontifum facilitating the TLM, Bergoglio would allow it in one Buenos Aires parish but the hour he chose when it

could be celebrated was usually a time when people did not like going to Mass. Celebrants for the TLM were chosen

by Bergoglio but these priests generally did not like the Old Mass at all.

He also imposed many restrictions on the manner in which the Mass could be celebrated.

Francis waited eight years before making a move against the TLM as head of the Catholic Church. During those years his focus was on navigating the sometimes slippery waters of Church teachings.

Siding with the poor, illegal aliens, supporting economic equity and condemning capital punishment comes from the same Church that condemns abortion, birth control and sex outside of marriage.

In the political realm, the pope’s progressive beliefs were best exhibited during a speech before Congress in 2015.

“In these times when social concerns are so important,” Francis said, “I cannot fail to mention the Servant of God Dorothy Day, who founded the Catholic Worker Movement. Her social activism and passion for justice were inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.”

The Catholic Worker Movement, founded in 1933 during the Great Depression, began with an emphasis on feeding the hungry and giving

shelter to the homeless.

Day (1897 – 1980) was a journalist and social activist who converted to Catholicism while keeping her anarchist beliefs.

Today, the Catholic Worker movement has gone way beyond the vision of Day, who as a strict Catholic would not recognize the movement’s embrace of illicitly ordained women priests and the celebration of the Mass at movement houses by anyone called to do so.

Before the 2020 election, Pope Francis did everything but give his apostolic blessing to the Biden campaign. Biden, who likes to say that he is a devout Catholic and who is said to carry a rosary in his pocket, supports abortion on demand and has been criticized by many U.S. Catholic bishops for his views. In June 2021, The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to draft a statement on the meaning of communion, and whether President Biden and other politicians should be denied the rite based on their public stand on abortion.

Francis’s first liturgical scandal occurred in October 2019 during the so called Synod on the Amazon when statuettes of an idol representing the Mother Earth goddess, or Pachamama, were venerated in St. Peter’s Basilica. During the ceremonies there was a dancing procession of Pachamama

where people prostrated themselves before the two wooden statues that represented naked and pregnant women and a statue of a male phallic figure reclining on his back. The event was meant to symbolize “the cry of the Amazonian land and native peoples.” When the figures were stored at the church at Traspontina, an Austrian Catholic activist, Alexander Tschugguel, took the idols and threw them into the Tiber.

Francis later apologized for the incident.

In 2017, a group of Catholic scholars and priests wrote an open letter to the College of Bishops accusing Pope Francis of heresy.

Things were getting testy but Francis continued to talk about the building of a “global human common good.”

Francis was by now an irrepressible populist or, as one critic put it, “the globetrotting do-gooder CEO of Catholicism.”

At a Mass in St. Peter’s Square in September 2019 celebrating World Day of Migrants and Refugees, he said, “Loving our neighbor as ourselves means being firmly committed to building a more just world, in which everyone has access to the goods of the earth, in which all can develop as individuals and as families, and in which fundamental rights and dignity are guaranteed

DON’ T TEXT DON’ T TEXT AND AND

to all.” In January 2021, Pope Francis’ elaborated on his thoughts and called for open borders when he wrote that nations had an obligation “to welcome, promote, protect, and integrate those who come in search of better lives for themselves and their families.”

Ironically, the Catechism of the Catholic Church has always defended the right of countries to limit immigrants.

The Catechism, in fact, also states that migrants must respect the host country and assimilate.

On July 16, 2021, Francis committed what many Catholic Traditionalists have called an act of violence against the Church when he restricted the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass.

Under Francis’ new guidelines, a priest wanting to celebrate the ancient rite must first ask his bishop for permission, after which the bishop must seek permission from Rome.

Since the beginning of his papacy Francis has appointed only progressive bishops and cardinals. This guarantees a difficult path when it comes to TLM permission slips.

You Tube Catholic commentators like Taylor Marshall, Timothy Gordon, Michael Matt, Mother Merriam, Dr. Robert Moynihan and many others spent weeks and months trying to make sense of the pope’s anti Latin Mass Motu Proprio. Jay Dyer, a Traditional Catholic who went over to the Orthodox Church (where Tradition is not subject to fashion) predicted that many Traditional Catholics would enter the Orthodox Church as a result of Francis’ invective.

Francis’s attack on traditional Latin Mass communities does not make sense when one considers that Latin Mass communities throughout the world have flourishing, full seminaries and convents and packed-to-thegills (cash cow) parishes.

These traditional parishes stand in stark contrast to the empty pews in the modernist parishes with their altar girls in flip flops and pony tails.

Pennsylvania grants aim to connect schools, businesses, workforce development boards

By Natalie Kapustik The Center Square

W

orkforce development boards in Pennsylvania are being urged to apply for grant funding to connect with businesses and schools and work together to create a trained group of workers for in-demand technical jobs.

The $3.3 million in new business-education Partnership funding is intended to increase

awareness of in-demand technical careers and provide career-related opportunities through soft-skills development, internships, workplace shadowing and career mentoring.

“Last year the commonwealth funded Business-Education Partnership grant activities to serve more than 35,000 individuals across Pennsylvania,” Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Jennifer Berrier said in a news release.

“These partnerships benefit employers by educating tomorrow’s workforce about the career and technical education job opportunities that exist and provide students with a solid first-work experience that puts them squarely on the path to future success.”

The grant money is fully funded through the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act.

A Holy Show: Hijacking A Plane For Fun and Prophets

By Richard Lord Contributing writer

D

istance in time sometimes allows us to see humor in situations which seemed all too serious at the time they were taking place. Irish playwright-directoractor Janet Moran can clearly attest to that fact, as her enjoyable comedy, A Holy Show, has managed to dredge a good deal of humor from a situation that is more often the stuff of thrillers than comedies: a plane hijacking.

The real-life hijacking that Moran chose to use as a basis for her play already had a number of comic elements built in.

In May 1981, an Aer Lingus flight on the short hop from Dublin to London was commandeered by a single hijacker with an unusual agenda.

The hijacker was Australian Laurence Downey. Downey was actually a former Trappist monk who had been tossed out of his monastery for what he describes in the play as “a misunderstanding”.

Indeed; the abbot at the monastery apparently misunderstood the spiritual message Downey was trying to convey when he punched the abbot in the face.

On the fateful day in May, Downey was a

The Third Secret of Fatima Roman Catholic lore tells us that when Mary, mother of Jesus, appeared to three shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal in 1917, she entrusted three secrets to the children. The first two secrets were revealed in 1941, while the third was supposed to be held back until 1960.

However, when 1960 came around, the Vatican released a public statement asserting that it was “most probable the Secret would remain, for ever, under absolute seal.” The Vatican’s refusal to honor the 1960 date generated a wave of wild rumours and supposition. Many believed the Third Secret was apocalyptic, perhaps providing the date for the end of the world, and that the Vatican had withheld it for fear of the worldwide panic it would unleash. The Third Secret was finally released in June, 2000, though many sceptics still believe that only a part of that secret was revealed then.

WELCOME BACK! We are so excited to be able to continue to serve our guests in a safe environment! passenger on the Aer Lingus flight. Shortly before landing, Downey slipped into the toilet, then re-emerged covered with some fluid. Making his way to the front of the plane, he burst into the cockpit (they had easy access back then), held a container (or pair of containers) over his head, announced it was

a highly flammable substance and threatened to ignite the fluid unless his demands were met.

That would have ignited a tidy conflagration that could have engulfed most of the aircraft, incinerating most of the passengers and crew as it flared.

Downey’s initial demand was that the plane

fly directly to Teheran.

When the pilot insisted they simply didn’t have enough fuel to make it to Teheran, Downey then demanded the next item on his list: that Pope John Paul II finally reveal the Third Secret of Fatima*. (see sidebar) Had there been a tragic end to this story, those continued on page 8

State Library of Pennsylvania: More than $120,000 Awarded to Support Open and Affordable Learning Across the Commonwealth institutions, with nine services for learning

H

arrisburg, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s (PDE) Office of Commonwealth Libraries (OCL), along with the Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration & Innovation (PALCI), today announced that more than $120,000 has been awarded to 33 projects at institutions of higher education through the second round of Pennsylvania Grants for Open and Affordable Learning (PA GOAL).

“One of the best ways we can support learners is through forming partnerships that can drive targeted funding and resources where they’re needed, and the PA GOAL program creates access in areas with specific needs,” said Acting Deputy Secretary and State Librarian for the Office of Commonwealth Libraries Susan Banks. “This will make a real difference for educators and learners in com-

munities across the commonwealth, and OCL is proud to support this impactful initiative.”

During this round, $129,366 was awarded to fund projects in three categories. Seventeen will result in the redesign of one or more courses to use open or zero-cost materials in lieu of traditional textbooks; 11 will result in the creation of new, openly licensed textbooks or other course materials like homework sets, lecture slides, or course modules for a learning management system; and five will reimburse the costs of library-licensed materials adopted to replace student-purchased materials for courses to be taught in the coming academic year.

The funded projects will be hosted by 22 institutions across Pennsylvania. Fifteen projects are hosted by publicly funded institutions, and 18 are hosted by independent non-profit

at institutions offering two-year degrees, and 24 at institutions offering four-year degrees.

To date, 63 projects have been funded across the commonwealth through PA GOAL. Funded by the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER) established by the CARES Act of 2020 and through PDE and OCL, PA GOAL provides zero-cost textbook alternatives across a wide range of Pennsylvania institutions, with a particular focus on support for underserved or underfunded institutions, including rural, publicly funded, and community colleges. The program reduces out-ofpocket student costs and increases the opportunity for student success, especially among economically or otherwise disadvantaged students.

The Office of Commonwealth Libraries within the Pennsylvania Department of Education supports, develops, and provides library

and advancement. For more information on the Pennsylvania State Library, visit their website and follow them on Twitter.

For more information about Pennsylvania’s education policies and programs please visit the Department of Education’s website or follow PDE on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest.

PALCI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization consisting of 71 academic and research libraries in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. PALCI libraries partner to serve more than 800,000 students, faculty, and staff, through a variety of programs, and PALCI also serves as the administrative home for the Affordable Learning PA initiative, to create a community of practice for open educational resources (OER), including textbooks and related educational materials.

Much of what occurs in these scenes follows standard Catholic accounts of the apparitions, though delivered in such a way as to draw humor out of them.

However, none of the humor is mean-spirited, which relieves it of any charges of intense anti-Catholicism. Some sensitive Catholics may still find these scenes offensive, though this practicing Catholic found the bits mildly amusing and quite acceptable. It might be noted, however, that much of the religious humor in A Holy Show is rather sophomoric.

There are also a few key moments when the comedy brakes, and a note of poignancy squeezes in.

Had playwright Moran given us a few more such moments, A Holy Show would have achieved greater weight and been something more than just a light entertainment.

As it’s set on a crowded airplane, A Holy Show has a large cast of characters. Among the many, there’s a pair of newlyweds on the first leg of a honeymoon trip to southern Spain; a mother and her young daughter; and the steward and stewardess giving instructions and then trying to maintain calm as they themselves start coming apart at the seams.

n Monday, October 11, Philadelphia School Board of Education will begin hosting a series of 17 listening sessions – in-person and virtual -- where the public is invited to weigh in on what they want to see in the next Superintendent for the School District of Philadelphia. The first week of #PHLSuperSearch listening sessions

include three virtual and three in-person meetings, in partnership with organizations like the Urban League of Philadelphia, Congreso de Latinos Unidos,as well as The PEAL (Parent Education & Advocacy Leadership) Center and HUNE (Hispanos Unidos para Niños Excepcionales) -- two organizations that work with parents and families of children with special

needs, and People’s Emergency Center -- a non profit that supports families and youth experiencing housing insecurity. Each session will include an ASL Translator and non-ESL speakers; and all marketing materials will be translated in up to 8 languages.

Inis Nua pair (Rachel Broadeur and Liam Mulshine) give spirited performances that merit high praise as they play off splendidly against each other to bring out the comedy to its fullest.

Their energy, expressive gestures, and comic timing make this Inis Nua production the success it is.

It helps a lot that both performers are skilled mimics. Rachel Broadeur delivers spot-on Irish accents, but her brief version of a posh English accent is somewhat off the mark. Liam Mulshine also offers a splendid suite of Irish brogues, though his Australian accent comes off as more mid-Atlantic than Aussie.

Tom Reing’s direction undoubtedly played a significant role in drawing out these strong performances. Reing, assisted by movement director Dan Higbee, was able to

use a minimalist set to create a convincing sense of place and make every shift in scene credible.

The pacing of the show was also pinpoint. Some of the bits were delivered rapid-fire, while at other moments, the pace slowed down to achieve just the right effect. There was never a moment where the action seemed to lag and rarely a moment when it seemed rushed.

One slight problem here, one probably baked into the script itself: from time to time, it was difficult to keep track of which characters from the throng of twenty had just come into focus. This was a minor problem, however, as the humor came through no matter if we knew or didn’t know who was supposedly delivering it.

This is the American premiere of A Holy Show.

As noted above, it is a light piece, running just

over an hour, and offers up few deeper insights into the central figures or the situation the real-life participants were thrown into. It’s there to have fun and invite audiences to share in on the fun.

As Tom Reing says in his Director’s Notes, “We all need a good laugh right now, and I felt this play could deliver.”

His instinct about the work was quite right; Inis Nua’s A Holy Show provides a steady stream of good laughs. And it comes at a very good time.

A Holy Show runs at the Louis Bluver Theatre at the Drake (302 S. Hicks Street, Philadelphia) Wed. through Sun. until October 24. Saturday’s performance is at 8:00 p.m. Sunday’s at 2:00 p.m. All other performances at 7:00 p.m. Audience members are required to show proof of vaccination at the door.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.
