 | Protesting A Papal Bull "In protest - I now tear up the - Papal bull, Inter Caetera, - here at the Church of Saint Stephen in Anoka Minnesota - because it represents the domination of indigenous peoples and the exploitation of lands". Tony Castanha, the international leader of the movement to influence the Vatican to revoke this 15th century Papal bull, recently contacted me, and did so after reading my article Changing The Racist Name Of The Knights of Columbus, which was posted on the Indigenous Peoples Literature website. It can be found at: http://www.towahkon.org/Changeknights.html Essentially, Inter Caetera is the cornerstone of an international system today based on the same ideology of dominion, subjugation and exploitation of lands and peoples as ushered into Africa and the Americas in the 15th century. We are not saying that the Catholic church is perpetuating the same atrocities they did 500 years ago, but what we are saying is that the same ideology and mentality of dominion grounded in contemporary law is ROOTED IN THEIR LAWS and this must be acknowledged and addressed. The revocation of Inter Caetera will definitely announce before the world community that the Vatican no longer supports the principle of subjugation that it promulgated five and a half centuries ago. The Roman Catholic church will be demonstrating its seriousness about respecting the rights and dignity of all peoples. The revocation of Inter Caetera will be an extremely important spiritual and symbolic gesture of peace and healing in creating a culture of peace on earth. |
 | Martin Luther (original song Thomas Martin Cone) Martin Luther lyrics: Well there was a lad in German land A sure and rising star He was making plans to practice law As soon as he passed the Bar Then he stepped out in a downpour And he felt the lightning strike And his life flashed right before'm And what he saw he didn't like So he took upon himself the habit of a lowly monk And to study'n the scriptures in his monastery bunk But his questions as to life's meanin' remained unanswered 'Till he fell into a drinkin' hole'n then he perked up and said: There ain't no beer in heaven so we must drink it here (Drink it here!) (x2) It's a hard, hard thing to do (Don't trouble yourself, pass me your brew) Ain't no beer up there so we must drink it here. Well he saw the light that day'n so he up and quit his order Took a nun to be his bride'n then he made tracks for the border 'Cuz that beer it loosened up his tongue and made his speech much bolder And the things he said made folks want'a chop his head right off his shoulders So he lived his life in careless ease -- a'tankered at his lips And he burned that pile of papal bull (Like Cortez burned the ships?) -- Yep And while wars fought for religion all across the dad-gum globe He just kicked back on the front porch with a cask of Michelobe Singin... Well about that German friar, Martin Luther was his name And the more I learn about him the more it makes me feel ashamed Ain't no wonder heathens think church-folk got brains made outta' mush When the Reformations founder was a big-ole brown bag lush... |
 | Protesting The Racist Name Of The Knights Of Columbus I recently contacted Tony Castanha, the internationally renowned leader of the movement to influence the Roman Catholic hierarchy to revoke the Papal bull, Inter Caetera. Mr. Castanha is also on the forefront of the movement to put an end to the glorification of Columbus. When I contacted him, I presented the link to my "Protesting The Racist Name Of The Knights Of Columbus" video on youtube. In response he wrote: "It's time to go after these 'Knights' guys...". Because of the instructions Columbus and his knights received from two 15th century Papal bulls they stole the land of the native people they "discovered" in the Caribbean Islands. And, likewise, because of these same two 15th century Papal bulls white Christians stole the Dakota people's Wakan/"Rum" River watershed traditional/ancestral homeland territory, which includes the land where the Anoka K.C.'s building is located. Reference: http://www.towahkon.org/Regaining.html ************************************** Here on the front of Anoka, Minnesota's Knights of Columbus building, a building located on the south bank of the badly named "Rum River", there is the K.C.'s logo, it's a logo that glorifies the organization's racist name. The Catholic Church of Saint Stephen in Anoka, Minnesota has a long-established chapter of the Knights of Columbus, an organization with an extremely racist name. However, because of a local, national, and international movement to replace the profane name of the river that finds its confluence with the Mississippi River in Anoka, the "Rum River" back to it sacred Dakota Indian name, Wakan, some of the Dakota people are beginning to return to this very sacred area of their traditional and ancestral homeland,(which was stolen from them) and doing so, to appreciate and protect this sacred site of theirs. Because of their return to this sacred site they are now having to deal with the racist Knights of Columbus logo which is radically desecrating this sacred site of theirs. In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, in search of new lands, gold and wealth. He 'discovered' and 'claimed' many islands throughout the Caribbean. But, what right did he have to 'claim' these lands, when the native people had been living there for thousands of years? According to a recent United Nation's World Conference Against Racism document - in Pope Alexander VI's papal bull of 1493 (Inter Caetera), he stated his desire that the "discovered" people be "subjugated and brought to the faith itself." By this means, said the pope, the "Christian Empire" would be propagated. This Papal bull, or "doctrine of discovery", sanctioned Christian nations to claim "unoccupied lands", or lands belonging to "heathens" or "pagans". Because of this Papal bull - and an earlier fifteenth century Papal bull, Romanus Pontifiex, a bull that sanctioned and promoted the slavery of indigenous peoples and the thrift of their lands and natural resources, Columbus felt justified and righteous to write in his journal that the native people he discovered were "very friendly", "an inoffensive people", "they could be much more easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than by force", "weapons they have none", and that "with weapons and 50 men I could enslave the entire population". He later wrote: "Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold." A Dominican Priest was the first European historian in the Americas. He wrote, when referring to Columbus and his knights' genocidal behavior in the Americas: "....for they are still acting like ravening beasts, killing, terrorizing, afflicting, torturing, and destroying the native peoples, doing all this with the strangest and most varied new methods of cruelty, never seen or heard of before, and to such a degree that this Island of Hispaniola once so populous (having a population that I estimated to be more than three million), has now a population of barely two hundred persons." This is why the Dakota people who are returning to this sacred site of theirs are opposed to, both, the racist name of the Knights of Columbus - and also to the K. C.s desecrating racist logo, which I am now protesting.

 | The Feast of Corpus Christi The Feast of Corpus Christi is celebrated on the Thursday or Sunday following Trinity Sunday the second Sunday of Pentecost.The appearance of Corpus Christi as a feast in the Christian calendar was primarily due to the petitions of the thirteenth-century Augustinian nun Juliana of Liège. From her youth she claimed that God had been instructing her to establish a feast day for the Eucharist and later in life petitioned the learned Dominican Hugh of St-Cher, Jacques Pantaléon (Archdeacon of Liège and later Pope Urban IV) and Robert de Thorete, Bishop of Liège. At that time bishops could order feasts in their dioceses, so in 1246 Bishop Robert convened a synod and ordered a celebration of Corpus Christi to be held each year thereafter. The decree is preserved in Anton Joseph Binterim's Vorzüglichsten Denkwürdigkeiten der Christkatholischen Kirche, together with parts of the first liturgy written for the occasion. The celebration of Corpus Christi only became widespread after both Juliana and Bishop Robert had died. In 1263 Pope Urban IV investigated claims of a miracle in which blood had issued from a host. One alternate theory is that the blood was actually a clustering of Serratia marcescens, a reddish bacterium that often grows on bread. Regardless, in 1264 he issued the papal bull Transiturus in which Corpus Christi was made a feast day. A new liturgy for the celebration was written by Thomas Aquinas. |
 | Montescaglioso - Around the year one thousand... a small part of the hilltop area that is now Montescaglioso was occupied by Greek and italian settlements. Outside the town walls the Benedictines had built the first nucleus of St. Michael's Abbey. With the arrival of the Normans in the second half of the XI century the town had enlarged and with the construction of new town walls, the Benedectine Monastery became a part of the fortressedtown. 537 As local legend have it, in this year Saint Placido, on his way to Sicily, stopped in Montescaglioso whit a group of Basilian monks who left their order to adopt the Benedictine teachings. Even though this legend has not been documented it is possible that, before the Benedictines, a group of Greek monks lived in Montescaglioso. 889 The first new of a benedictine settlement. The monks of St. Vincent's longobardo Monastery in Volturno (near Capua) possess St. Lorenzo di Murro's Church near the Bradano River. 1003 The Saracens besiege Conza, Castellito and Montescaglioso, desrtoying everything in their path. If, during this period, the Monastery was already in existence, it did not escape the Arabian attack. 1065 The first record concerning the Abbey: The Bishop of Matera attests to the monks' possession of St. Mary in Plateas' Church in Montescaglioso. 1078 Umfreda, the Norman Earl of the town, grants the Monastery the hamlet St. Mary of the Corno in Pisticci. In this year Abbot Simeon is elected to the Monastery's government and he begins the construction of a large new St. Michael's Church. 1082 The Normans present Abbot Simeon with four churches in the towns of Stigliano and Gorgoglione. 1099 Abbot Crescenzio succeeds Abbot Simeon and continues the construction of the new Church. At the end of the year the Norman Earls, along with the Bishops of bordering towns attend the consecration of the Monastery's new Cherch. For this occasion the town's feudal Vassals bestow 18 churches to the monks. Dating back to this age are the capitals of the two mullion windows (now stolen) in the oriental cloister, attributed to nearby Apulia's skilled workers. 1119 Countess Emma bestows the large hamlet of St. Mary of the Vetrano and the Picoco fief. 1175 Alexander III, with Papal Bull, puts the Monastery under the Holy See protection. 1194 The Bishop of Matera consecrates the new church of St. Mary of the Vetrano belonging to the Monastery and located within the territory of Montescaglioso. Some stone findings testify the artistry, in this church, of the greatest Lucan artist of the period, namely, Magister Salorus, painter/sculptor of the St. Maria of Pierno and of the portals in the Rapolla and Acerenza Cathedrals. It is probable that this sculptor, Magister Salorus, also worked on the Monastery's Churchin Montescaglioso but subsequent reconstructions have erased any possible trace of his workmanship. 1323 The monks sell the Torre a Mare fief in Metaponto and use the proceeds to restore St. michael's Church. The capitals in the church atrium and the construction of the belfry date back to this period. 1375 The last permanent abbot of the Monastery dies. From this date on, all the Abbots are appointed by the Holy See. In the period inclusive of the second half of the XIV century and the first half of the XV century, St. Michael's Abbey falls into a long period of decline. The Abbots appointed by the Holy See concern themselves solely with the exploitation of the Monastery's large acumulation of wealth and property, allowing the building to fall into ruin and leaving the Monastery community leaderless. the situation in the Abbey is so dire that in 1484 the Duke of Andria, Pirro dal Balzo, also acting at the same time as Earl of Montescaglioso and Commandatary abbot of the Monastery, requests and is granted, by Pope Sisto IV, annex of the coenoby to the Benedectine Congregation of St. Giustina. Whit the arrival of new monks the Abbe |
