from L Moss-Sharman Ex-nun guilty of assault in spanking case - The Canadian Press - 10/25/02 The Guardian - Charlottetown - Lucille Poulin, the 78-year-old former nun who said God told her it was right to beat children, was told by a judge on Friday it was wrong. Justice David Jenkins of the P.E.I. Supreme Court found Poulin guilty on all five counts of assaulting children in her care at a religious commune near Summerside, P.E.I. ...He said Poulin's frequent use of a heavy wooden stick to punish the children and drive out demons was excessive. http://www.canada.com/halifax/story.asp?id={8EEEA56D-76F3-4712-B5FC-0D605F128AD5}
Experts: Financier Was Murdered ROME (AP) - "Roberto Calvi, the Vatican-connected financier implicated in Italy's biggest postwar banking scandal, was a murder victim and not a suicide, a panel of forensic experts reportedly has concluded 20 years after his death....Calvi's body was found hanging under a London bridge in 1982 within days of the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, of which he was president and in which the Vatican's bank held a significant stake. The experts could not find any injuries to Calvi's neck such as those normally associated with death by hanging, news reports said....Calvi was dubbed ``God's Banker,'' because of his ties with the Vatican's bank and its former top official, Archbishop Paul C. Marcinkus. When the Banco Ambrosiano collapsed following the disappearance of $1.3 billion, the Vatican's bank eventually agreed to pay $250 million to the Italian bank's creditors but denied any wrongdoing. Marcinkus also denied wrongdoing. He lives in retirement in the United States." AOL 10/25/02

Cracking the Silent Citadel On the Trail of God's Bankers by David Montero with the Center for Investigative Reporting - http://www.muckraker.org/ The Church's OTHER scandal is all about money. US lawyers are attempting to break the Vatican Bank's immunity, while our reporter catches up with the Pope's controversial banker-bodyguard in Sun City, Arizona. Riding on the tide of the Catholic Church's sex scandals, as well as mounting demand for transparency in corporate financial dealings, a new case in San Francisco attempts to break the Vatican's bulletproof wall of impunity. Attorney Jonathan Levy is hoping he can pry open the books of the world's most secretive bank - the Instituto Per Le Opere di Religione (IOR), or the Office of Religious Works. In other words, he hopes to break the bulletproof wall of diplomatic immunity that surrounds and protects the Vatican Bank. Levy's case, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, filed in 1999 with the district court of San Francisco, involves some three hundred plaintiffs seeking restitution for assets allegedly stolen during World War II by the Ustasha dictatorship, Hitler's Croatian puppet regime. In addition to slaughtering Jews, Serbs, and Ukranians in Nazi-style concentration camps, the Ustashi were also known to have drained millions' worth of their victims' personal holdings into the Croat treasury. http://elandar.com/back/summer02/stories/story_montero.html
Vatican panelists named, examined 2 have advised bishops not to report abusers; some fear a stacked deck 10/24/02 By eese Dunklin and Brooks Egerton "The new panel that will rework the U.S. Catholic Church's sexual-abuse policy includes two Vatican officials who have urged bishops not to tell police about priests who admit misconduct and a third who suggested the scandal has been blown out of proportion. The Vatican on Wednesday also named to the eight-man commission four U.S. bishops who have been accused of previously keeping priests on duty despite allegations of sexual misconduct." http://www.dallasnews.com/religion/stories/102402dnprovatican.5ccae.html
STRONG WORDS AGAINST WAR
Published in the Greenfield Recorder Wednesday, October 16, 2002 http://www.recorder.com/
A war with Iraq will kill 20,000 to 30,000 Americans, Ritter said. "It's a war that could be every bit as bad as Vietnam," he said. "War is forever....The way to capture Saddam is to indict him in the International Court and set up economic sanctions contingent upon turning him over, he said. Although Ritter detests Saddam, he said President Bush has not made the case to go to war. Instead, Bush relied on the fear many Americans have after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and on the ignorance many have about the situation in Iraq, said Ritter. "The president of the United States is telling you Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, but he's not telling you how he knows." A 1998 U.S. bombing campaign of 91 Iraqi targets destroyed weapon inspectors' credibility because it showed the U.S. was more concerned with routing out Saddam rather than eliminating Iraq's ability to produce and store weapons of mass destruction, Ritter said. According to Ritter, of those targets, only 11 were involved in producing weapons; the rest were targets like Saddam's bedroom, his bodyguard's facilities or his office, all sites designed to kill Saddam. It's a move that violated international law, he said, one of unilateral imperialism. Before then, weapons inspectors had eliminated 90 to 95 percent of weapons of mass destruction as well as Iraq's ability to make those weapons, Ritter said. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
