The Separation

The Great Leader was happy to hear this morning on the radio
news, while preparing the reduced milk foam for his first and most
important cappuccino of the day, that somebody in Leaderonia's
neighboring country, the United States of America, had the brilliant idea
to move the teaching of Intelligent Design from Science to Philosophy.

Leaderonia does not ban the practice of religion, although it is forbidden
to practice less than 12 doctrines at the times, and the Law of Education
provides room for studying the Book (the Bible , NFTSOTGL), and other
religious Texts, on weekends, from midnight to 5 AM.

The Great Leader had always expressed great admiration for fictional
accounts of the mistery of Life, he often refer and quote from the Book
(the Bible , NFTSOTGL), and he regards the controversy as a pretext from
religious organizations to obtain monetary funds and tax exemptions
from the weak central governement.

The Constitution of the USA provides a law that institutionalizes the
separation of Church from State. Over the years, however, especially
since the leadership was given to a former alcohol abuser and heir of a
privileged family, the fundamentalists extremists have infiltrated the
governments and the Congress (the People's representative body) and
have hammered at the constitution in order to change the meaning
of State.
The Great Leader understands the need of the fundamentalists to get
rich with taxpayers money, but he does not think it is fair for the rest
of the citizens of that country, which in numbers are the majority.
After thinking long and hard the Great Leader has come up with a
compromise that will make everyone loose. His advice to the US
Government is to amend the Constitution and switch the word "STATE"
with the word "BANK".

Miserere Mei

In the town of Chieti, The Great Leader' parents residential home,
a procession of violinists walk the dark streets, illuminated only by
torches, they strike their strings into a melody that surrounds the
wooden corpse of the dead Christ.
The Great Leader was a teenager when first saw this display of faith
and commemoration, and althought a self-considered atheist
he was forever impressed.
On this day of mourning, The Great Leader offer this link of music
for all Leaderonians, regardless of the religious creed:
Listen to Miserere Mei of G.Allegri directed by P. Phillips
and permormed by the 3rd Internation Choral of Rimini

Presentation De La Vierge Marie

Cet épisode de la vie de la Vierge Marie ne se trouve pas dans
les quatre évangiles, mais dans un livre apocryphe, le
"protévangile de Jacques". La piété populaire et la spiritualité
mariale en furent marquées, car elle soulignait bien la disponibilité
de la Vierge Marie, à l'égard de la volonté divine. Tant en Orient
qu'en Occident, cette fête connut un grand succès. Marie est bien
prédestinée à devenir le temple vivant de la divinité. La scène est
toute simple, selon cet évangile apocryphe : Anne et Joachim
voulurent remercier Dieu de la naissance de cette enfant. Ils la lui
consacrèrent. Lorsqu'elle eut trois ans, Marie fut conduite au
Temple, un prêtre l'accueille par des paroles qui ressemblent au
Magnificat et l'enfant s'assied sur les marches de l'autel. " Tout le
peuple d'Israël l'aima " . Cette fête est attestée dès le 6ème siècle.

"Hail, holy throne of God, divine sanctuary, house of glory, jewel most fair, chosen treasure house, and mercy seat for the whole world, heaven showing forth the glory of God. Purest Virgin, worthy of all praise, sanctuary dedicated to God and raised above all human condition, virgin soil, unplowed field, flourishing vine, fountain pouring out waters, virgin bearing a child, mother without knowing man, hidden treasure of innocence, ornament of sanctity, by your most acceptable prayers, strong with the authority of motherhood, to our Lord and God, Creator of all, your Son who was born of you without a father, steer the ship of the Church and bring it to a quiet harbor" (adapted from a homily by St. Germanus on the Presentation of the Mother of God).

Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The Eastern Church was more interested in the feast, but it does appear in the West in the 11th century. Although the feast at times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th century it became a feast of the universal Church.

As with Mary’s birth, we read of Mary’s presentation in the temple only in apocryphal literature. In what is recognized as an unhistorical account, theProtoevangelium of James tells us that Anna and Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she was three years old. This was to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless.

Though unhistorical, Mary’s presentation has an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and of the birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her early childhood and beyond.

Beware of false prophets,

From The Ministry Of The Interior Affairs:

The alleged self proclaimed TV EVANGELISTS on this list have been
indicted by sitting Leaderonia Grand Juries in various jurisdictions in
the Divided States of America for Faith Exploitation.
Evidence was gathered and presented to the Grand Juries, which led
to their being charged. Future indictments may be handed down as
various investigations proceed in connection to other exploitation incidents,
for example, the fraudolent presidential election of 2004.

It is also important to note that these individuals will remain wanted
in connection with their alleged crimes until such time as the charges are
dropped or when credible physical evidence is obtained, which proves
with 100% accuracy, that they are deceased.
