Are English speakers deaf? Bell and Pell?

George Pell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Pell

Accused of sexual abuse, was convicted and sent to prison, but eventually vindicated as innocent.

George Bell (bishop)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bell_(bishop)

George Bell is honoured with a commemoration in the Church of England on 3 October.

In other words, very venerated.

As an "ally of the Confessing Church" (i e of Bonnhoeffer, of a theologic progressive) he was probably himself a progressive.

However, this venerated man, seems to have been actually guilty.

An angel shouted "go for George Bell" and the deaf English speakers in Oz went for George Pell instead.

Yes, there is a real news story that the Anglican progressive did such an act:

Bishop of Chichester George Bell's sex abuse victim gets compensation
Published 22 October 2015
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-34604872

However, there is a news story that this was settled in a bad way, since the accused was already dead and had could not defend himself:

The Guardian : Anglican church 'rushed to judgment' in George Bell child abuse case
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/15/george-bell-anglican-church-rushed-to-judgment-child-abuse-carlile-report

So, there is not a real court process that says George Bell was guilty. There is also not a real court process clearing him, unlike for George Pell.

BBC : Sex abuse bishop Peter Ball and brother seek Catholic switch
6 December 2017
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-42257380.amp

So, the guilty bishop, or very probably so, after doing time, considered Catholicism a safe haven, not for a ministry which he could possibly abuse again, but for a few years of peace and anonymity and getting right with God.

Given that he stated he loved the Church of England, i e had no theological qualms about it, it is arguable he was an ecumenical and progressive leaning person.

But how did the Catholic Church react?

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton said in a statement: "We confirm that Peter Ball has been in contact with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton, in which diocese he now lives, expressing an interest in becoming a member of the Catholic Church.

"This matter is subject to discussions between Clifton Diocese and the statutory authorities, who are the lead with regards to Peter Ball's risk management in the community."

In other words, while they were not blocking Peter Ball from saving his soul, they were also not taking risks for the children of their community.

Part of the problem behind the pensions' deficit, not quite there, but looming, is fertility rates.

The total above 15 years is 53 212 000.

15 - 24 (7 537 000)

2 160 000 have an employment

620 000 are looking for work

4 757 000 are "inactive"

25 - 49 (20 661 000)

16 545 000 have an employment

1 593 000 are looking for work

2 523 000 are "inactive"

50 - 64 (12 750 000)

7 806 000 have an employment

564 000 are looking for work

4 380 000 are "inactive"

65 and more (12 264 000)

368 000 have an employment

12 000 are looking for work

11 885 000 are "inactive"

https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3676623?sommaire=3696937

Now, look at this:

En France, en 2018, l' espérance de vie à la naissance est de 85,3 ans pour les femmes et de 79,4 ans pour les hommes.

I'll assume that men and women are so equal in numbers that we can average this without huge distortion:

(85.3 * 85.3 + 79.4 * 79.4) / (85.3 + 79.4) = 82.46 years.

82.46 - 64 = 18.46 years
25 - 14 = 11 years

15 to 24 = 7 537 000 / 11 = 685 182 per year
25 - 49 = 20 661 000 / 25 = 826 440 per year
50 - 64 = 12 750 000 / 15 = 850 000 per year
65 to 82.46 = 12 264 000 / 18.46 = 664 355 per year

It is very proper that people between 25 and 64 should be more numerous per year than those over 65, but for some reason, those 15 to 24 (births 1992 to 2002) are fewer per year. They should be more numerous. Have births gone down even more since 2002? I suspect it. And that would be a huge part of the problem.

So, what would one like to do?

Well, part of the reason why we have a desire to go into full rights of retirement at 60 is, it's nice to be with grandchildren. And having grandchildren is part of the solution.

The age 62 or age 64 or whatever pension - let it apply to singles or homosexual childless couples (while we are at it, abolishing the "right" for homosexual couples to adopt would be a good thing). But for a couple having five children or one grandchild, let pension set in fully for one of the couple (it would usually be the mother) or half time for both of the couple. For a couple having seven children or two grandchildren, let it set in fully for both. Irrespective of age. If a girl has a baby daughter at 13, and that girl has a baby at 13, let the mother of them have full pension at 26, if her husband still wants to work. If the daughter then has a second child at 14 or 15, let her and her husband have full pension, both of them, as grandparents of two, when she's 27 or 28.

Another part of the problem comes from the school system. I don't think it's lazy to stay inactive because one likes lycée (senior high school) or university, and thinks one can learn something there. But too many stay in school because:

• looking for work is a nasty hazzle (it's worse in Sweden than in France)
• works available for one's age group are dull
• which also means, one is less likely to have children.

This is kind of an pushed-on improductivity and a pushed-on celibacy (to which the evil legislation of 2006 contributes, raising girls' marital age from 15 to 18).

Alice Cappelle suggested large incomes should be forced to pay for pensions. I agree half and half. Taxing people like Bernard Arnault (Louis Vuitton - Moët - Hennessy) half that kind of money (if it's annual income, not fortune), $225 900 000 000, would be like adding 8 000 000 seamstresses to the work force ... wait ... not quite as bad, the seamstresses actually do more than just contribute to the pension system ... but the real way they could contribute would be to legislate:

• big companies (everything above Petites ou Moyennes Entreprises*) keep paying workers who are single and childless as at present
• on top of that, family members at home of the worker, including mums at home, are also paid so that a worker keeping his two parents at home can enjoy the same status of life as the single worker, and if his wife has a child and stays home with it, the worker gets paid for that too.

This is called the Family Wage and was recommended by Pope Pius XI. In, I think, Quadragesimo Anno, but I could be wrong.

Memory of St. Constantin of Gap.

Eratum - I should have calculated 24 - 14 = 10 years. 7 537 000 / 10 = 753 000 per year.

* For the higher of these categories I find:
... il s'agit des entreprises qui ne dépassent pas deux des trois seuils suivants : Le total du bilan est fixé à 20 000 000 euros, le montant net du chiffre d'affaires à 40 000 000 euros et le nombre moyen de salariés employés au cours de l'exercice à 250.
They must be below two out of three maxima : total balance sheet 20 million €, net revenue 40 million €, medium number of employees during the work 250 (they probably say "medium number" because seasonal workers can exceed this for a season, and then go back to fewer employees for most of the year).

Il peut avoir l'intention d'être plus critique envers ceux qu'il considère les plus proches de lui.

Ce que j'ai écrit concerne son livre, pas sa personne.

Mais il fait des gaffes de concessions qu'il n'aurait pas dû faire. J'en vais prendre un exemple.

Dans l'abstrait, ce serait une faute de logique de considérer qu'on a raison juste parce qu'on a prouvé l'autre dans le tort. Et Eugénie Scott (autant pasionaria contre les créationnistes que Dolores Ibárruri contre les franquistes) accuse les créationnistes de cette faute. Jacques Arnould est d'accord, et il donne comme exemple le flagelle de la bactérie. Prouver qu'il ne pourrait pas avoir évolué prouverait qu'il est créé - ou le prouverait justement pas, selon la Scott et l'Arnould.

Convient de savoir de quoi on parle. Pour certaines choses le "tertium" qui "datur" par rapport à un argument spécifique est déjà réfuté en avance par quelque autre circonstance. Des athées se sont plaint du Trilemme de C. S. Lewis comme d'un paralogisme. Son argument est par contre "quelqu'un qui dirait des choses pareilles ne pourrait être qu'un fou, un filou, ou Dieu Toutuissant" - et il démontre ailleurs dans le même livre que oui, c'est fiable que c'est ça que dit Notre Seigneur, ce n'est pas une invention. Donc, ce n'est pas un paralogisme, parce que d'un côté, la formulation en soi limite la considération à ce cas, d'un autre côté, il démontre ailleurs que le cas se pose.

Revenons au flagelle. Pour une chose qui paraît exister, quatre explications sont possible.

La chose pourrait être vraiment existant, ou une illusion, qui est donc une des possibilités. La chose pourrait exister à partir de l'éternité, ou avoir un début, l'éternité de la chose est donc une autre. Et la chose qui a un début pourrait en principe débuter par processus sans intentionalité, ou répondre à l'intentionalité d'une volonté. Ces possibilités là diffèrent par le non ou le oui à la même chose.

Or, pour ce qui est d'illusion, Eugénie Scott ne professe pas d'être hindoue, elle ne dit pas que le monde entier soit une illusion. Le flagelle a été étudié suffisamment sous microscope pour savoir que ce n'est pas un mirage. Écartons donc l'illusionnisme. L'éternisme aussi, une vie biologique qui évolue et ceci dans un univers ayant débuté avec le Big Bang ne va pas avoir davantage d'éternité qu'une vie créé dans l'univers chrétien. Il y a des signes dans l'univers qui excluent son éternité, notamment qu'il y a encore de l'hydrogène. Reste donc que le flagelle ait eu un début. Si on peut exclure un début évolutionnistes, ce qui correspond dans les phénomènes héréditaires à un début par processus sans intentionnalité (oui, ça existe, je suis par exem^le blond), alors on arrive à un début par intentionnalité. En d'autres mots, création.

Ce serait par contre trop peu probable que des extra-terrestres aient pu être là pour le créer, sans de dépendre d'organismes qui ont déjà un flagelle, donc, la création se fait par un vrai Dieu. Après, ce sera une autre partie de l'Apologétique de prouver que ce Dieu est Celui des Chrétiens.

Sharing Return to Order on Putin

Vladimir Putin Does Not Represent the anti-Davos Party
by John Horvat II, March 31, 2023
https://www.returntoorder.org/2023/03/vladimir-putin-does-not-represent-the-anti-davos-party/

I would like to underline one part of what he said:

This strange archbishop [Carlo Maria Viganò] claims the baton of the Faith has been passed to the Russian Orthodox Church. Thus, Russia is “the last bastion of civilization against barbarism.” He specifically warns against Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. He quotes Vladimir Putin, who says these global figures aim “to create a society of slaves subservient to the Davos elite.”

A) I have not myself seen any document signed by him or video with him speaking words saying "the baton of the Faith has been passed to the Russian Orthodox Church"
B) but this could very well be due to my not following this man very closely, so I am not putting the words of John Horvath II in positive doubt, just clarifying that I am judging his words at second hand,
C) however, if he did, it is a very grave thing. In my post Dr Joel Edmund Anderson - a Fraud or a Dupe?, I noted that he shared errors with the basically apostate patriarch Kirill, former KGB agent, in pretending Genesis 1 to 11 belongs to the "genre" of myth. And that this absolves us from taking these chapters as historical. At all, even for the individual existence of Adam and Eve, basically.

Viganò also, correctly, said taking messenger-RNA vaccines is sinful, due to risk and to abortion connection, yet strangely refused to attack Putin's vaccine, Sputnik V, where the connection to abortion is even greater, since every single dose is made from viruses, and every virus was cultivated in cells from an abortion, as is also the case with the vaccines of Pfizer and Moderna, only very much fewer viruses were used by them./HGL

Abortion Activist Doctor Exposed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OT_FP9ekOg

Unfortunately, that Dr Greg Irwin is an abortion activist is not an April 1st prank.

I checked his twitter, he is.

Other unfortunate thing, the French youtube is automatically adding to every video critical of abortion a notice from the French Public Service ...

If abortion is health care because doctors are involved, so is death penalty in some states - the difference being that those having the needle in their arm after walking a green mile are usually doing so after making themselves more or less deserving of death penalty./HGL
