Welcome! Albrecht Dürer's Virgin Mary Noah's Flood Explained
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today
to ask your forgiveness
and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says:
Woe to those who call evil good.
But that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium
and reversed our values.
We confess that we have ridiculed
the absolute truth of Your word
and called it pluralism.
We have exploited the poor and called it lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have neglected to discipline our children
and called it building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbour's possessions
and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography
and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honoured values
of our forefathers
and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh G-d, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!"(it-Triq, no. 315, April 2006, p. 2.)

La ricostruzione del Tempio - Il progetto massonico per una nuova utopia
Giuliano Di Bernardo, who has two children, Jacopo and Silvia, was born in the Abruzzo 1 March 1939), and in 1998, when a Spanish translation of this book was published in Madrid, he was still Professor of Logic & Philosophy of Science at Trento's Università degli Studi (Via Verdi 26, II piano), Alto Adige, Italy. His English books include Normative Structures of the Social World (Amsterdam, Rodopi, 1988). He presented a paper, "Bioethics - a philosophical foundation", at the First National Congress of Bioethics jointly sponsored by the Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences and Academy of Medical Sciences (Kiev, 18-21 September 2001), and an essay on "New Advances in Reproductive Techniques & Genetics" to the proceedings of the Sabaudia Conference: "Are there limits in science and research?" (19-22 May 2002). Highly regarded as Grand Master of the then 13,000 strong Italian Grand Orient (10 March 1990 - 16 April 1993; it has since lost at least 5,000 members), he served as first Grand Master (17 April 1993 - December 2001) of the initially 107 strong GLRI (an Italian Grand Lodge of Regular and Accepted Masons which very quickly acquired a membership of 2,000) and founded the Grand Lodges of Romania, the Ukraine, and Moldavia. However, he has now renounced Freemasonry, not because of any alleged madcap conspiracy, but because he no longer believes Masonry in any shape or form can meet today's challenges which, in his view, spring predominantly from recent advancements in science, and call for a well coordinated and integrated response from economics, science, philosophy and religion. Frequently travelling outside Italy for this purpose, he has won support in Italy, Brazil, Switzerland and the Ukraine, and hopes that China and Yemen will also actively participate.
Don Bosco's Place in History & Today
Cybernetics, Noah's Ark, Lord Joffe, Mercy Killing, Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide & Environmental Health
Philip H. Robinson's Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide (London: CTS, 2003) is a convenient introduction to several important core aspects of the Catholic Church's teaching, its author having drawn upon the by now considerable specialised resources of the Linacre Centre, but its account of relevant Biblical teaching (p.63) is one sided and unhelpfully incomplete. Blair's Britain is not a community of communities (cfr Common Theology Summer 2006), as Robinson (p.67) appears to suppose. In my view his booklet in its present form unnaturally extends the boundaries of what is natural and ordinary (p.46), misrepresents the traditional Catholic understanding of the intentionality of human acts (pp. 11 and 48), overlooks the need for each maturing person to receive moral truth into his or her conscience (p.35), confuses the absolute as opposed to the conditioned with the absolute as opposed to the contextual (p. 40) and, perhaps because no account has been taken of the distinction between the divine image and the divine likeness (p.23), mistakes relativity for relativism (p.18). The current edition of Robinson's pamphlet has failed to consider most of the concrete and complex moral implications of life in today's world, and radical and thorough revision is needed.

NIGHT SHOWER
"Falling like a sob from aching clouds
Moving o'er the earth like a broken shroud:
Rising as a tide to scatter the waves
The blood of the rain both grim and grave.
Coming in surges as a hymn or drum:
Song of dirges with a distant hum.
Creeping slowly over the town:
Like the jest of a playful clown.
Street lamps shimmer in reflected pools;
Droplets linger like glowing jewels.
A mournful melody drips to the ground,
An ever so watery cascade of sound
Within the darkness scales high and low -
Now the shower has ended, and I, too, must go."
Christine Stallion, July 1994
All politics are based on myth. In view of recent events, the entire United Kingdom now deserves and perhaps also urgently requires an all parties' Government of National Unity...
*The views expressed by REGINALD D. WRUGH [aka BASIL WARAKER] in his The Third Way out of the Economic Crisis and The Industrial Commonealth in a New Economic Order (London: SPUR 1974, 1981) remain highly relevant.
†I am greatly indebted to and, while acknowledging their difficulty, recommend STAFFORD BEER's Decision and Control - The meaning of Operational Research and Management Cybernetics (John Wiley & Sons, 1966), Cybernetics and Management, 2nd edition (English Universities Press, 1967) - parts of which presuppose some familiarity with non-elementary mathematics; Brain of the Firm - The managerial cybernetics of organization, 2nd edition with four additional chapters (John Wiley & Sons: paperback 1994, reprinted 1995) together with the companion volume: The Heart of Enterprise - The managerial cybernetics of organization (John Wiley & Sons, 1994, reprinted 2000), and most especially his imaginatively original but, I still feel, eminently practical Platform for Change (John Wiley & Sons, 1975). Designing Freedom - The Massey Lectures, Thirteenth Series: 1973 (Canadian Broadcasting Company, 1974) is, however, the most accessible first introduction to his thought. Cf. DAVID WHITTAKER, Stafford Beer: A Personal Memoir - includes an interview with Brian Eno (2003).
