Body snatching is mark of a cult - Newark man receives probation, but other cases are unresolved - 5/1/02 - By William Kleinknecht - Star-Ledger Staff - "The two men slipped into Newark's Holy Sepulchre Cemetery on a January night in 1999 and crept through the cold stillness of gravestones and crypts....it was only one of a series of body thefts -- including four others in Holy Sepulchre -- authorities say are linked to Palo Mayombe, a religious cult whose priests use human remains in their rituals.... "The rituals go on in cemeteries all the time," he said. "They are more common than the actual theft of bodies. But if police are not trained in the practice of Palo Mayombe, they won't even know what they are looking at."" http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1020244221242493.x ml Church sex scandal not new, but media stick to it this time - 5/6/02 By Pete McAleer Staff Writer - "....The National Catholic Reporter began writing about clergy abuse in 1983, urging the church hierarchy to come up with a set policy to handle sex-abuse cases.

LEWIS WASHINGTON, May 4 — The Bush administration has decided to renounce formally any involvement in a treaty setting up an international criminal court and is expected to declare that the signing of the document by the Clinton administration is no longer valid, government officials said today. The "unsigning" of the treaty, which is expected to be announced on Monday, will be a decisive rejection by the Bush White House of the concept of a permanent tribunal designed to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes. The administration has long argued that the court has the potential to create havoc for the United States, exposing American soldiers and officials overseas to capricious and mischievous prosecutions. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
