The Search for Racism and Common Sense in a Marxist Society.

 I was listening to a Sunday Morning Programme on BBC where they were talking about Racism at Cambridge University.   Apparently some students say nasty things to blacks and we did have examples given.   This meant, of course, that Cambridge is a racist University full of racist hate.   On comes one of what I now call 'Nutty Professors' who goes on to tell us that such racism must be expelled and yes, there is racism in the University.   But things will be OK for the University will be running a course which will stop all this.     

This brought to mind my terrible encounter with racism.    I was at an Australian Party in the 1960's when this Aussie with malice in his face approached me and sneered, "You are a Limie" meaning English.   I told him I was Scottish and my friends moved in to assure him of it, and my Aussie friends gave him a dressing down.   That was it.   The incident was settled.     I did not leave the Party with the impression that all Aussies are racist and it should be investigated by the BBC.    Peer pressure had bern applied and won the day.    

Now that is why puzzles me over this interview.    Whoever upset this black girl, and yes I am not attacking her but the situation, should have ben approached by students and told to keep his mouth shut.    Better still, instead of running a course to prove all the white students were racist he should have been named, marched into the Principals Office and told either to leaver forgiven another opportunity to stay on the provision that such behaviour does not occur again.    It is the Common Sense approach, but then when Universities are run by Nutty Professors, who bow to the BBC, there can ever be common sense.

Translation of Luke 1: 28 in the Latin Vulgate by St Jerome.

.......et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus..... If indeed we are to have a Year of the Bible and indeed praise St Jerome, as indeed he deserves to be praised, for translating the texts approved by the Church into Latin, the language of the Mass, then surely we should check what the Latin says according to St Jerome before we rush into translating into other languages.    In this case translating  from the Gospel of Luke, St Jerome wrote the above, which translates  "..and entering the angel said to her 'Hail full of grace the Lord is with you and blessed are you among women".   Now you do not have to be a scholar to realise that this means much more than 'highly favoured'.   So why I ask myself does the translation we read in our Catholic Church at the gospel read 'highly favoured' rather than 'full of grace'  Why is this important?   Because if she was born 'full of grace' t

FAIR AS THE MOON, BRIGHT AS THE SUN, TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY SET IN BATTLE ARRAY

'Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array'. The above quote will be familiar to only a few Catholics today,   It was once on the lips of members of the Legion of Mary which was present in many parishes.    Fair as the moon and bright as the sun certainly describes Our Lady of Fatima but who exactly is meant by 'terrible as an army set in battle array?'   Certainly Our Lady appeared to ask us to pray for the conversion of sinners many of who were going to Hell for their sins as forewarned by her Son Jesus when he preachedHis Gospel.  Often we are trying and feel we are succeeding in living good lives when suddenly everything goes wrong  Like St Paul we often do the things we do not want to do rather than those that we want to do.   It is because we are involved in a war between Good and Evil and we are the children of Mary that the red Dragon wishes to devour in Revelations 12    We

The meaning of 'virgo Immaculata'

Image
As you will see from the stained glass window the name given to the image is Virgo Immaculata.   Mary was the virgin who remained sinless and spotless.  Yes she would have been tempted by Satan, but as the image shows she kept close to God in prayer and all the wiles of Satan, the forbidden fruit he offered, depictdd by the apple, ended up stuck in his throat while the right foot of Mary crushed his head. "I will put enmity between Thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed", God tole the serpent in Genesis   Satan was no match for Jesus who was God made Man but he had overcome a mere mortal before in Eve, What a triumph it would have been to destroy she whom Jesus loved above al others - his mother.   But Mary kept close to Jesus and to God, the new Eve, and mother of the new children that the death of Jesus brought into being.    And as Revelations 12 tells us having failed to destroy the birth of Jesus Satan  went after her other children - us.       When
