"I have rarely encountered such a fair, balanced and honest response to religious abuse and the perpetrator of such a wicked attack on the human spirit. Lennon's memoir of his years with the LCs is not only 'all that' but, through the use of song lyrics, Hesse's novel SIDDHARTHA, his account is both lyrical and emotionally compelling."irishmexguatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780540157643095826noreply@blogger.comBlogger131125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369742611272525833.post-20953212147921976572023-09-15T18:01:00.000-07:002023-09-15T18:01:01.938-07:00Forgive Seventy times Seven! reflexion by J.Paul Lennon, Irish, Mexican,...<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/K-yX6VQgX9Y?si=HXYkFEExpBDorPMj" frameborder="0"></iframe>irishmexguatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780540157643095826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369742611272525833.post-71191295595477628362021-06-20T12:58:00.001-07:002021-06-20T12:58:55.642-07:00Where were you, Jesus, when I was sexually abused?

<br />
<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
Sorry for the long hiatus.<br />
<br />
I have been engaged in other things since my last post here.<br />
<br />
ReGAIN, <a href="http://www.regainnetwork.org/">www.regainnetwork.org</a>, has taken up some time, as well as my personal life which continues to evolve despite my "advanced"age; as a former Legionary of Christ, one cannot neglect one's personal healing and well-being; I have also maintained a live interest in the ongoing sagas of the Legion of Christ and it's continual challenges in the area of protection of minors; Fr. Maciel's favorite vice seems to dog the Legion's footsteps. As a "wounded healer" I have also attempted to answer calls for information and support on the ReGAIN web page mentioned above.<br />
<br />
Your are probably aware that another former Legionary, from a more recent generation, launched a Spanish language Facebook page, <i>Legioleaks</i>, which has over 3,500 members from LC and Regnum Christi.<br />
<br />
For now, I am posting newer versions of my autobiography, and my efforts to get beyond the scandalous original title which may have scared away some pious Catholics:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Our-Father-Maciel-who-art/dp/1439214689">A New Cover</a><br />
and some edits of original<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Deceit-Legion-Christ-Christi-Federation-ebook/dp/B07XGFDN2N/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Deceit+%26+Lies+in+the+Legion+of+Christ&qid=1577935431&s=books&sr=1-1">An abbreviated version with a new slant</a><br />
<br />
Kindle and Paperback:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Thus begins the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Traumatic-Narcissism-Relational-Subjugation-Perspectives/dp/0415510252/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i"> latest book </a>by
psychiatrist Daniel Shaw who has been practicing in the NY/NJ area for
decades and has treated many former members of harmful groups and
relationships.<br />
<br />
For years Dan has been fascinated by the
series of gurus that have paraded before his eyes from the lips and
hearts of his patients. He wondered was there a common element.<br />
<br />
The blogger used "Psychopath" to describe Maciel. Juan Jose Vaca, a victim, considers Maciel a "Malignant Narcissist".<br />
<br />
Reading
Shaw's books has been a gripping experience for one who knew Fr. Maciel
beyond his large group performances...And for one who has witnessed his
destruction first hand in his own life and in the lives of many
companions. Maciel's victims will understand their abuse better by
reading certain parts of this clinical psychology book, particularly
chapters:<br />
<br />
1. The Relationality of Narcissim (what it is) <br />
3. Traumatic Narcissism in Cults and<br />
6. "But what do I do": Finding the Path to Freedom. <br />
<br />
I
am grateful to Daniel Shaw for his clinical studies, insights and
description of this "phenomenon" of people who are not only Narcissists
but who somehow are also capable of doing a lot of harm to those who
come in contact with them, be it fleetingly or on a long term basis. <b><span style="font-size: small;">
It is not enough to hate or forget Maciel: we must understand the
damage, what he did to all those he came in contact with, and heal from
it -heal ourselves.</span></b> <b>Otherwise, we will limp through life.</b><br />
<br />
The
unfortunate result of contact with this kind of person is Trauma. The
blogger believes that anyone who has been a member of the Legion of
Christ or Regnum Christi, Maciel's creations, should not dismiss the
need for psychotherapy, self help and brotherly support & caring to
heal from our wounds.<br />
<br />
A question looms for us, former
members and all concerned parents, Catholics Christians and people of
good will as to whether the Traumatizing Narcissist has created a
Traumatizing Narcissistic System which is alive in the LC/RC system.<br />

Vatican City, 27 June 2014 (VIS) – </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The first stage in the canonical trial against the former apostolic
nuncio in the Dominican Republic, Josef Wesolowski, has been concluded
with the laicisation of the prelate.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
From
this moment, the accused has two months in which to make an eventual
appeal. The penal trial before the Vatican judicial authorities will
continue as soon as the canonical sentence has been made definitive.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Finally,
with reference to recent media reports, it is necessary to specify that
until now Msgr. Wesolowski has been granted relative freedom of
movement, as he awaits the verification by the Congregation of the
Doctrine of the Faith of the basis of these accusations made against
him.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Considering the sentence passed
by the aforementioned dicastery, all the necessary procedures will be
adopted in relation to the former nuncio, in conformity with the gravity

A priest in north central Mexico has been stripped of his
position by the Vatican and faces criminal charges in connection with
alleged sexual abuse of a teenage boy.<br />
<br />
The case marks the first time the Catholic Church in Mexico has turned a priest in to authorities.<br />
The move follows instructions from Pope Francis for the Catholic
Church to better protect children and take a hard line with priests
accused of sexual offenses.<br />
<br />
Father Eduardo Cordova Bautista, a priest in the Archdiocese of San
Luis Potosi, was ordered in late April by the Vatican to face charges
for allegedly abusing a 16-year-old boy in 2012. The actions were
implemented in late May. His whereabouts were unknown, however.<br />
"This is simply acting on a petition of the pope and what he's
asking: that we collaborate completely with the judicial system," said
Armando Martinez Gomez, president of the College of Catholic Lawyers of
Mexico.<br />

Martinez told <em>Desde la Fe</em>, the Mexico City archdiocesan
newspaper, that the church officials in San Luis Potosi opened an
investigation in 2012, turned information over to the Vatican in January
2014, and received a response this past April.<br />
<br />
The case of Cordova created a scandal in Mexico after journalist
Sanjuana Martinez reported earlier in May that dozens of youth were
allegedly abused by the priest over the past 25 years as he worked in
Catholic institutions serving young people.<br />
<br />
Alberto Athie, a former priest and an early accuser of the disgraced
Father Maciel Marcial Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ,
said there may be as many as 100 victims, Diario de San Luis reported.<br />
The actions taken against Cordova mark a change in Mexico, where
cases of clerical abuse have often languished while dioceses have been
slow to act.<br />
<br />
"What I know is this is the first time in which there was a canonic
procedure and a public complaint. This is not something to be proud of,"
Armando Martinez Gomez told <em>Desde la Fe</em>.<br />
"These news stories are always sad, but they have to be an example
that the church does not tolerate nor will it tolerate this type of
conduct, much less when it is has now been proven, in this case, by an
Ecclesiastical Tribunal," he said.</section></div>

of presenting facts about the Irish men and influence in the birth, growth and expansion in the Legion of Christ<br />

<br />
I went to Mass last Sunday here at our local church; the celebrant, a diminutive Philippine priest with broken English gave one of the best homilies I have heard for years. The Liturgy of the Word mentions "be perfect" a couple of time and instead of launching into a long -pious and abstract discourse on "holiness" our little preacher explained what being "perfect" and "holy" meant. That is being merciful as our Heavenly Father is merciful.<br />
<br />
So I hope Our Heavenly Father will indulge me when I got stuck on the second reading, I Cor chapter 3 which brings to mind the enormity of Fr. Maciel's crimes. We have now talked about some of his crimes. Many Catholics did not grasp the seriousness of his sexual abuse of his seminarians, and did not react until his heterosexual activities were mentioned -as if having sex with women was worse than having sex with little boys and abusing them, destroying their virginity, their sexuality in a very depraved way! So here are St. Paul's words which state that Maciel destroyed God's temples...<br />
and how his cleverness and astuteness to manipulate and abuse others was rubbish and crap<br />

<br />
The following is the text of an article that appeared in La Croix with the accusation against this priest<br />
<br />
LA CROIX learned yesterday that Fr Thierry de Roucy had been convicted by the<br />
Ecclesiastical court in Lyons on June 21, 2011, of sexual offences, abuse of power, and<br />
"absolution of an accomplice" (in a sexual sin).<br />
<br />
Fr. Thierry de Roucy, who was the founder of the charity POINTS DE COEUR and superior<br />
of the order SERVITEURS DE JESUS ET DE MARIE d’Ourscamp (Oise) was found guilty<br />
of the crimes of abuse of his position of authority, sexual offences, and complicit absolution.<br />
According to our sources, the Ecclesiastical Tribunal in Lyons considered that the victim had<br />
been forced into having sexual acts that were imposed on him by his superior who used moral<br />
intimidation.<br />
The facts of the case go back to 1996-1997. The victim is now married and a father, and<br />
wishes to reconstruct his life whilst retaining his anonymity. He entered the order at<br />
Ourscamp at the age of 18. Fr de Roucy was the superior of the order between 1988 and<br />
2001. The victim confirmed that “he was progressively caught in a trap and found no way of<br />
escaping. He made him his socius, forcing him do things that he did not wish to do and for<br />
which he was unable to talk to anyone about” said a witness. The victim was sent on a<br />
mission to South America where he made friends with a psychologist who advised him to file<br />
a complaint for sexual abuse. This he did in 2004 with Mgr Jean-Paul James who was then<br />
the bishop of Beauvais. Fr de Roucy was removed from his duties and sent to the abbey at<br />
Bec Helluin. A canonical enquiry was set up and the following year the Congregation for the<br />
doctrine of the faith, ordered a criminal canonical hearing to be held in Lyons.<br />
At the end of the hearing that lasted 7 years, Fr de Roucy was found guilty on 21st June 2011.<br />
And the sentence was confirmed by the Congregation for the doctrine of the faith which<br />
condemned him to no longer hear confession for a period of three years in respect of the<br />
members of Points Coeur, but the tribunal did not pronounce excommunication latae<br />
sententiae which is contained within the canon law 1378 § 1 in the case of complicit<br />
absolution.<br />
Fr de Roucy has no official post within Points Coeur.<br />
“The lightness of the sentence is surprising but considering the complexity of the case it is<br />
perhaps the cleverest way out when trying to navigate in such muddy waters” says a source<br />
who has intimate knowledge of the case,.Fr Stéphane Drillon, the Diocesan chancellor for<br />
Nice and Fr de Roucy’s lawyer, told LA CROIX “ The hearing is always covered by the<br />
Pontifical secret, and I’m unable to say anything more to you without risking<br />
excommunication”.<br />
The sentence was not made public as the case was still ongoing in respect<br />
of the damages. However on 5th April, on the internet site Pastorale Nouvelles - beliefs and<br />
deviant acts by sects 72, the sentence was published. Furthermore Mgr Dominique Rey, who<br />
accepted that the Order Points-Coeur could set up home within his diocese of Fréjus-Toulon<br />
in 2008, warned the bishops a year ago where the congregation was located and asked that all<br />
members be informed, “You have to distinguish between Points Coeur and their magnificent<br />
works, from the deviant acts of its founder.” Mgr Rey underscored.<br />
<br />
This case and other tensions have caused a split within the Order of Ourscamp. Ten years ago<br />
several members broke away to follow Fr de Roucy who has not been a member officially<br />
since 2010. At the age of 56 yrs, he was recently awarded the Légion d’Honneur. He<br />
currently lives in the USA in a home run by the order situated close to New York. He has no<br />
official post of responsibility within the Points-Coeur but continues to visit their various<br />
branches and houses throughout the world.<br />
<br />
Points-Coeur: A catholic order for compassion and consolation founded in 1990 to send<br />
young volunteers into disadvantaged areas of the world with special attention given to<br />
children.<br />
<br />
The victim was over the age of consent at the time the events took place and does not wish to<br />
take any legal action in the case.irishmexguatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780540157643095826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369742611272525833.post-38909076247263576452013-11-28T10:38:00.003-08:002013-11-28T10:49:20.748-08:00I'm singing with Danny Ellis the Fella from Artane (Poem of mine)<div class="crReviewHeader">

It is a fact. Gandhi had young women in his ashram, some of them still teenagers, one of them his own grand-niece [Manu Gandhi], sleep naked with him in his bed at night. This was an aspect of Gandhi that I had not read about before, and it surprised me at first. I was researching for my book ‘<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sex and Power</em>’ which looks at the history of sex and sexuality in India, and it was important for me to investigate this further.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
My initial tendency was to regard this as <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“gossip,”</em> but then some of the biographies confirmed it as fact, but also hurriedly dismissed it as something that we all apparently should accept as the eccentricities of <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“great”</em> men! That’s not a logical argument for me and so I began to dig into archives for more information till a complete picture emerged. And that picture upset me. I saw Gandhi as a classic example of a sexual predator – a man who uses his position of power to manipulate and sexually exploit the people he directly controls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most angering for me was reading about the psychological and emotional trauma of the girls and women who he used for his <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“experiments,”</em> which is what he called these incidents. The word<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘psychotic’</em> repeatedly came up in various documents with regards to these women’s mental state. The women, most of who were in their late teens or early twenties [not surprisingly, given he could have <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘experimented’</em> with the older women or even his own wife!] were repeatedly described as depressed and weeping, and seemed to be completely in his control. Besides this, some of the archival references lead me to believe that Gandhi may well have been practicing the traditional, historic form of Indian celibacy which hinges on one thing only – and that is control of ejaculation. Everything else is permitted.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
What I could not understand is why school texts and biographies have selectively edited out this information because it was a big and explosive aspect of the inner dynamics of the Gandhi ashram and its inmates for the last 10 years of Gandhi’s life. It eventually led to the partial break-up of his inner-core circle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
But Gandhi is long dead. So why should the naked girls in Gandhi’s bed matter today?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Well, because the issue goes way beyond Gandhi. What really matters now, and it matters deeply, is how we respond to what Gandhi did!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Today we like to believe that we are far more progressive in terms of recognizing and condemning the abuse of power by men for sexual exploitation and abuse. And yet, I repeatedly find every time I bring this up [for eg. in this article <a href="http://genderbytes.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/gandhi-to-asaram-who-empowers-the-sex-crimes-of-gurus/" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Gandhi to Asharam: Who Empowers the Sex-Crimes of Gurus?</a>] most people’s responses are defensive and regressive!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
But this is what surprised me most! Compared to our reactions and responses today, the people in Gandhi’s time seemed to be far more progressive! They not only recognized that he was abusing his position and power in a way that was unethical and depraved, but they outright condemned it, confronted it, and eventually forced him to stop!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On 16th March, 1947, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirmal_Kumar_Bose" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Nirmal Kumar Bose</a>, one of Gandhi’s closest associates wrote a letter to<a href="http://mkgandhimanibhavan.blogspot.in/2009/10/relevant-article-written-by-shri.html" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Kishorlal G. Mashruwala</a>, another of Gandhi’s close colleagues, saying, “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When I first learnt about Gandhi’s experiment in which a girl took off her clothes and lay under the same cover with him and he tried to find out if any sexual feeling was evoked in him or his companion, I felt genuinely surprised. Personally, I would not tempt myself like that and more than that, my respect for [women] would prevent me from treating her as an instrument in my experiment…”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
N.K. Bose’s letter was only one of the many exchanges among Gandhi’s closest associates and friends in the first half of 1947, about this practice of his that angered and upset many. These included prominent leaders of India’s freedom movement such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallabhbhai_Patel" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Vallabhai Patel</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._B._Kripalani" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">J. B. Kriplani</a> and<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinoba_Bhave" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Vinobha Bhave</a>. Many of them confronted Gandhi directly, and others stopped associating with him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
This 1947 storm in the Gandhi camp was set off by R. P. Parasuram, a young man from Kerala who for two years had served as Gandhi’s personal secretary and typist and watched his personal affairs from close by. Like many students in India at that time, Parasuram too had idolized Gandhi and after his studies, had travelled to Gandhi’s ashram to live and work with him, and help with India’s freedom movement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
But two years after working with Gandhi, Parasuram quit the ashram and his job. Before he left he wrote a 16-pg long letter explaining his distress at what he had witnessed in Gandhi’s behaviour with girls and women in the ashram – which included other things besides his <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘experiments’</em> in bed. He said that as much as he had worshipped Gandhi, his conscience did not allow him to stay silent any longer. And that in order for him to continue, Gandhi had to concede to 5 of his demands [all of which dealt with Gandhi’s physical interactions with girls at the ashram] which he listed in the letter. [See the letter below.]</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On 2 January 1947 Gandhi responded to Parasuram’s letter with, “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I cannot concede your demands…Since such is my opinion and there is a conflict of ideals…you are at liberty to leave me today.”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Parasuram did leave as did some of Gandhi’s other close associates. But others, especially those who were in more senior positions as friends and associates, continued their pressure on Gandhi to stop.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the things that were a big issue was Gandhi’s hypocrisy and manipulation, to what seemed to many to serve his own ends. Gandhi had made an unwritten rule of celibacy for all the inhabitants of his ashram. Oddly, he would even make married couples take this vow because he believed this was central to his philosophy of non-violence. Sexual stimulation of any sort, he preached, evoked violence in one’s thoughts and behaviour. He would tell them that even touching each other was unacceptable. He made the life of one of his own son’s whose wife got pregnant, absolutely hell, angry that they had had sex when he had forbidden them to! Yet he was free to do as he pleased! He was so confident that he wouldn’t be challenged!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Anand" style="border: 0px; color: #f3472a; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Swami Anand</a> and Kedarnath in a question and answer grilling from 15-16 March 1947 shot off questions like “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why did you not take your coworkers into confidence and carry them with you [into] this novel practice</em>?” and <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Why do we find so much disquiet and unhappiness around you? Why are your companions emotionally unhinged?”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Congress President J. B. Kriplani told him that he was simply, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“exploiting human beings as means rather than as ends in themselves.”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
N.K. Bose suggested this course of action for Gandhi: “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">… he should not allow Manu [Gandhi’s great-niece] to sleep in the same bed with him until he had tried enough to educate the public into his new way of thinking, or the public had got all the fact about him and clearly expressed its disapproval. Then he [can go]…back to his practice with the full brunt of his suffering for the opinion which he held right.”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Vallabhai Patel told Gandhi off to his face. He said what he was doing was <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">adharma</em> (immoral). In a classic, egotistical way Gandhi retorted to Patel by telling Balkrishna Bhave “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">for me Manu sleeping with me is a matter of dharma (moral duty).”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
But under this onslaught Gandhi eventually conceded defeat, even if not willingly. He said he felt like a “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">broken reed</em>.” His ego and narcissism had been broken by people around him who fortunately understood and did better than we do today!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is the question that I’d like to ask everyone reading this. <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why is it that hard to say, yes Gandhi, the hero of India’s freedom movement had also used his power and position to sexually exploit/abuse girls and women who came under the mantle of his leadership?</strong></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Below is an extract from R. P. Parasuram’s 16-page letter to Gandhi just before he quit. He called it his letter of <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“indictment.”</em></div>

Picked up on this old article from Dialogue Ireland which describes the Guru in the yoga tradition. Some striking resemblances can be found:<br />
<br />
1] the disciple is deeply bound to the Guru<br />
2] the Guru is a god like figure<br />
3] the Guru can do no harm [even if he does?]<br />

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3032" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It is impossible to translate the word "guru". It corresponds to neither "priest", nor teacher", nor similar expressions. We must for this reason refrain from translating it, and instead interpret it, so that its meaning becomes clear. In what follows we take our starting point from the sense the word has in the movement called "Yoga Trust" - i.e. Swami Narayanananda's movement at Gylling, (in Jutland, Denmark). It would be equally valid to have used evidence from other guru-movements. On the whole their understanding of "guru" is the same, in that they regard their own leader as the real guru, while the other "gurus" are false and deceitful "pseudo-gurus".</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3033" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Swami Narayanananda, the leader of Yoga Trust, the so-called Gylling-Guru, has written twelve full-length books as well as a number of shorter works. He has also organised a number of darshans or satsanghs, at which he has guided his disciples by means of conversation. <b>(1)</b></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3034" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is the vow which all the monks and nuns at Gylling have to take: "I will observe life-long celibacy (Brahmacharya) and lead a pure and simple life. I will remain ever faithful unto God and Guru and try to spread his Message unto the whole world". (Oath of Sannyasa).</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3035" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"God and Guru" describes the content of their faith, but what is the mutual relationship between God and Guru? Here there is no doubt. Among six points published by Swami Narayanananda on 16th March 1972 we read as follows:<br />1. There is only One God and That is the Ultimate Truth.<br />2. God, Guru, and the Ultimate Truth are one and the same.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3036" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This "dictum" (the guru's own word) must be recalled every morning on waking, and every evening on going to bed.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
God and the guru and the ultimate truth are one and the same reality. There is no difference, no distinction. They are one.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
At the Sannyasi-ordination in 1965 relationship to the guru was formulated in the words of the following vow:</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
"I dedicate my life to God, the Guru and his Message.<br />I will remain ever faithful to God and Guru.<br />I shall keep celibacy (Brahmacharya) all my life and continue my Sadhana (discipleship)".</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_2975" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But the disciples' understanding of "God and guru" is only one side of the question: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">how has the master himself under-stood this relationship</span>? This is clear from his books and other writings. He takes up the subject first in "the Primal Power in Man or The Kundalini Shakti" from 1950 (this extract is from the 1960 edition, p. 116):"A Guru is a perfect man. One who is a master of his mind and the senses: and one who has realised the Truth or attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Such persons always live in God".</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In 1951 he described the significance of the guru thus: The place of the Guru is a very exalted one. Everyone cannot become a Guru. A real Guru is considered to be Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Sustainer), and Maheswara (the Destroyer). <b>(2)</b> A real Guru is one who has realised God: become God. Hence there is no difference between the grace of God and the grace of the Guru". <b>(3)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The same year he wrote in "the Ideal Life and Moksha" that the guru is "mediator between God and the aspirant". As such, the guru is necessary for nearly everyone. Only "some great souls, who are born perfect..." can do without the guru's help. For all others, the guru is responsible for mental and spiritual growth. The guru chooses which Ishta Devata the disciple must concentrate on (the chosen deity), and the guru provides the mantra which is the subject of the disciple's meditation. For this reason the disciple is to regard the guru as "the very embodiment of God". <b>(4)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Worship of Ishta Devata is performed according to a ritual called Upachara. This often consists of 16 stages, and there are different forms of upachara in the different guru-schools, though basically they are the same. <b>(5)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The guru's perfection, then, is a result of his being God. "When he uses the word "I" he always means Athman or Brahman". <b>(6)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But this statement does not only apply to the guru: becoming God is a possibility open to all people. Anyone can end up by answering the question "Who am I" with the words "I am Brahma and his Shakti, Vishnu and his Shakti, Shiva and his Shakti". "I am the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the Light of lights, the Power of powers, and the Life of lives. I am that Sat-Chit-Ananda Brahman, the One without a second." <b>(7)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">For this reason the guru binds his disciples to himself</span> totally. He becomes their world. He is their father and their mother. At the initiation ceremony he gives his disciples a new body 8), and therefore the initiation is a new birth, at which the guru is both parents. The guru "takes care of the Latter (disciple) like a father and the same time he loves the disciple like a mother "also". <b>(9)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Relationship to the guru, then, involves absolute <span style="text-decoration: underline;">obedience</span>. When he has chosen himself a guru, the disciple must have "infinite and implicit faith in him and his power and wisdom and carry out his instructions to letter." <b>(10)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The disciple must treat the guru as God. The guru's word must be law for him. His command must be obeyed "even at the risk of life. He must never say no to him even if he asks him (the disciple) to jump from a housetop." <b>(11)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Everything must be sacrificed to the guru - mind, body, values, everything. Nothing may be kept secret, for the guru is "the very Athman of the disciple", in the same way as God and guru "are the same". <b>(12)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Doubt is a deadly sin. This statement comes again and again in Narayanananda's books: "It is better to have a bullet through the heart than to allow doubt to arise in the mind", and by doubt he means doubt in the guru.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The disciple can pray to the guru to rid him of all his sins <b>(13)</b>, for the guru "must take upon himself the sins of the disciple" <b>(14)</b>. The guru can do this, if he is "a man of Enlightenment". Thus he can "wash away these sins by his supernatural powers". But if he is not a genuine guru, then his disciple's sins will cause him to sink, and to suffer from incurable diseases. <b>(15)</b></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1381176125477_3037" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But a genuine guru is without sin. "One can never do any sinful acts after attaining Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Whatever such a man does is for the benefit of others <b>(16)</b>. Indeed the guru is even "master" of "decay and death" <b>(17)</b> - all the while he - like God - is "omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent" <b>(18)</b>.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
There are no limits to this power: in his mind he can see everything in the past, the present, and the future. Everything is revealed to him, and he does not need to seek knowledge as other men do. Experience has shown Narayanananda, however, that "even the true Gurus sometimes suffer physically when initiating disciples because of the sins of the latter", but even if they suffer because of this they can "destroy the sins of their disciples". <b>(19)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Anyone who regards his guru as "a mere mortal" can never make spiritual progress, for he lacks faith in the guru's words. <b>(20)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The guru is then perfect, divine, in fact God himself. But the picture is not without its<span style="text-decoration: underline;">contradictions</span>. How can such a sinless divine character pray in this way: "Lead me, 0 Lord, in Thy righteousness, Make Thy way straight for me. Cleanse Thou my heart from all hidden faults and frailties. Keep Thy servant away from presumptuous sins. Remove from my mind all delusions, doubts, and ignorance and let them not have sway over me any more. Lord! Wash out iniquity from me and cleanse. me in and out". <b>(21)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is the "ideological" understanding of the guru. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">But how is relationships to the guru worked out in practice?</span> By making use of techniques which have all the appearance of possession! The disciple consciously seeks to let the guru possess his mind, for in this way it is presumed that God himself takes over the mind.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This happens especially through the meditation which Swami Narayanananda has developed, and which he describes in this way: "Worship the Guru (Spiritual Teacher) in the Sahasrara (Crown of Head). Imagine that the Guru is sitting on a thousand-petalled Lotus with a radiant face and body, and blessing you. Worship the Guru mentally with flowers, garlands, sandal-paste, etc." <b>(22)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Then merge the form of the Guru in the form of Ishta Devata in the heart (Ishta Devata is the deity one is most attached to) ... Then worship the Mother Kundalini Shakti in the Muladhara Chakra (the lowest central point between the sexual organs and the anus) mentally. After worshipping Her, wake up the Mother Shakti with the words: Wake up Mother!" And reach the Goal this very moment .." <b>(23)</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The Guru has taken over the position normally held by Shiva in the tantric form of meditation, that is at the highest point in Sahasrara. The Mother-deity, who must be awakened and lifted up to Sahasrara, is thus united with the guru!</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This same idea is repeated - in a little more detail - in "The Secrets of Mind Control" <b>(24)</b>. Here it is stated clearly: "One should then merge the Guru-form in the form of the Ishta-Devata thinking all the time that the Guru has become one with the Ishta-Devata and begin worshipping Him mentally with flowers, garlands, sandal-paste etc. One should pray to him sincerely to remove all one's past sins, to save one from all harm, pit-falls, and dangers, to lead one on the right path and to grant peace and strength of mind, character, wisdom, and Enlightenment".</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The guru is thus God and saviour. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">No guru</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no salvation</span>. This exclusiveness is quite clear. If the gurus are apparently extremely tolerant towards other religions and can contain them all, the reason is simple - there is no salvation in any of them. Ordinary human beings cannot be saved without a guru, no matter what their religious affiliation may be. On the other hand it is emphasised often that true gurus are few, so that salvation is in practice confined to very few people.</div>

Catholic officials in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas are asking the Vatican to look into a case involving multiple allegations against one of its priests.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1.1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; zoom: 0;">
The archdiocese on Friday said it sent to the Vatican the results of an investigation it conducted into sexual abuse claims by three men against the Rev. John Wisner.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1.1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; zoom: 0;">
“The Vatican will look at the report that the archbishop has filed and they will either say to him, ‘Here’s how we think you should proceed,’ or they will say, ‘We’re going to take the case into our own hands and do further investigation,’ ” said Rose Hammes, spokeswoman for the archdiocese.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1.1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; zoom: 0;">
Archbishop Joseph Naumann removed Wisner from active ministry in May after receiving a complaint from a 45-year-old man who alleged Wisner had inappropriately touched him in 1982 on a youth outing when he was 15. The archdiocese received two more allegations after that from men in their 40s, Hammes said.</div>

In a statement released Friday, the archdiocese said it had investigated the allegations and found them to be credible.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.1em; margin-top: 1.1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; zoom: 0;">
Wisner, who also is a medical doctor, denied that he engaged in sexual misconduct, the archdiocese said. He could not be reached for comment Friday.</div>

Wisner was ordained in 1972 and had served as an associate pastor at St. Agnes Parish in Roeland Park since 1985. He also has worked at Sacred Heart and Christ the King Parishes in Kansas City, Kan., and St. Joseph Parish in Shawnee.</div>

Wisner also had been an associate professor at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in the psychiatry and behavioral sciences department. He retired in September, a school spokesman said.</div>

The latest article on <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--jerry-sandusky-delivers-one-final-hateful--haunting-response-to-his-victims.html">Jerry Sandusky </a> paints a terrible picture of a predatory pedophile<br />
<br />
[Final paragraph of article]:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
This was about seizing one final bit of control over the kids, the ones who have come forward and the ones who still remain silent. During the past year he did it over and over, whether it was waiving hearings at the final moment and forcing witnesses to prepare for nothing, or sitting with an ugly smug look as they testified about the sickest moments of their shattered lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
This was a shrewd plan, and throughout this entire ordeal, of all the terrible things people said and proved Jerry Sandusky to be, no one ever claimed he wasn't remarkably intelligent, creative and cunning.</div>

This was Sandusky bathing them in his narcissism, reminding everyone, and his victims in particular, that when he leans back on that prison bed, no matter how thin the mattress, uncomfortable the conditions or inedible the lunch, no one can stop him from reliving it all.</div>

He wanted them to know: They'll remain his. Forever. That part of Touchdown Jerry, clad in red, remains safe and secure.</div>

The only hope is that it wasn't effective, that it won't stick with those frightened kids who became powerful men, and that the hateful, harmful words of Jerry Sandusky just drifted off into the Bellefonte air, soon to be forgotten like the shrinking pathetic man they took away on Tuesday to die.</div>

<br />
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -<br />
<br />
An 81-year-old Swiss man with a history of pedophilia charges has been sentenced to five years<br />
in a Cambodian prison after paying a 13-year-old for sex.<br />
Hugo Leuthold's lawyer said he plans to appeal Friday's sentence as too harsh given his client's age.<br />
Leuthold was arrested in March after police found him naked in a Phnom Penh hotel with the boy.<br />
Rights group Action Pour Les Enfants said in a statement that Leuthold was also charged with illegally entering Cambodia<br />
from Thailand, where he jumped bail in 2010 after being charged with sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy.<br />
Cambodian police previously arrested Leuthold on Christmas Day 2010 on charges of sexually abusing four boys. He was<br />
convicted and sentenced to two years in prison but was released after 10 monthsirishmexguatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780540157643095826noreply@blogger.com0
