«I maintain—and have since the beginning of this nonsense—that while self-described Catholic progressives have made careers out of sneering at the “Catholic ghettos” of past eras, I don’t think the tightest community of Irish Catholics crowded on Orchard Street in 1873 have a thing on the the Synod-obsessed of 2023 when it comes to solipsistic insular clubiness. Ghetto, indeed. Bubble, indeed [
]
How anyone who actually lives and interacts with human beings in the real world, who actually does listen to and live amongst the seeking, the hurting, the suffering, the questioning, the lost, the indifferent—can think that the best use of Church resources and energy this moment is on this process and event is beyond me.»

Adult life, lived according to the Gospel, isn’t about finding what brings you joy and chasing it down. It’s fundamentally about accepting the duties of the moment, bringing Christ into your response to those duties, and finding joy and peace in that.

UNSOLVED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: THE AUSTIN YOGURT SHOP MURDERS
December 6th will be the 31st anniversary of this tragic quadruple homicide. Four young girls would walk into a yogurt shop, but wouldn’t be able to walk back out. Somewhere inside lurked someone evil, and maybe that someone had a partner in crime. To this day this case is still unsolved, but we’re closer than ever to solving the mystery. 
Tumblr media
On Friday December 6th, 1991, a 9-1-1 call was placed in regards to a fire inside of the I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt! Shop in Austin, Texas. When first responders stepped inside the shop, they were met with a horrifying scene that they never expected to walk in on
 Four nude bodies of young teenage girls. Most of them were charred badly from the fire, and some of them were raped. Two of the victims were employee’s of the shop, Eliza Thomas and Jennifer Harbison, both 17. The other two victims were Jennifer's sister, Sarah Harbison, 15, and Sarah’s friend Amy Ayers, 13, who were there when the shop was about to close waiting to get a ride home from Jennifer at 11 PM. 
Investigators said that the fire was so intense to the point where it had burned most of the evidence that could’ve helped solve the case. All they really had was whatever they could get from the victims bodies. All four victims were shot in the back of the head execution style, with a .22 caliber lead bullet. Three of the girls were found together, bodies piled on top of each other. Sarah’s hands had been bound behind her with her panties, and she was also gagged and raped. Eliza was found gagged, not bound, but her hands were found behind her back. Jennifer wasn’t gagged, nor bound, but her hands were also found behind her back. All three of them were severely charred. However, Amy’s body was not found with the others, and was found in the back of the shop. She wasn’t charred but received second and third degree burns on 25-30% of her body. She was found with a sock-like cloth around her neck, and was shot the same way as the others. However, the first bullet missed her brain, and the second caused severe damage to her brain, and exited through her lateral cheek and jawline. Investigators believe that all four of the bodies were stacked on top of each other, but Amy was able to pull herself off of them and crawl to the other part of the store before passing away. As Amy moved, she disturbed Jennifer’s body, which was found right next to Sarah and Eliza’s bodies that were stacked. 
Tumblr media
DNA of an unknown male was found from one of the rapes. A number of suspects were called in for interviews, including a 15 year old who was seen with a .22 caliber gun a few days prior at the mall, but all of them were cleared. Eventually, four men were brought in and charged, Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Maurice Pierce, and Forrest Welborn. Robert and Michael confessed to the murders and were sentenced to life in prison. However, in 2007 both convictions were overturned due to constitutional violations, and all four men were excused. In 2009 advanced DNA testing was able to utilize the DNA found the night of the crime and was able to officially rule out all four men. The DNA sample did in-fact match someone in the FBI database, but due to a federal statute that protects anonymous donors, they refused to release that information. The DNA sample only showed partial markers which was not enough genetic material to incriminate someone. Now, years later, on February 5th, 2022, it was announced that advancements with DNA technology were bringing investigators closer than ever to finally closing this cold case.

The Yogurt Shop Murders
Shortly before midnight on Friday, December 6, 1991, a patrolman from the Austin Police Department noticed a fire coming from an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! shop and reported it to his dispatcher. After the fire was extinguished, firefighters discovered four nude bodies. Each had been shot in the head execution style with a .22 caliber lead bullet. Sarah's hands had been bound behind her with a pair of panties and she had also been gagged and raped. Jennifer was not bound but her hands were behind her back. Eliza had been gagged and her hands were also tied behind her back. All three had been severely charred and shot in the back of the head.
Unlike the others, Amy's body was found in a separate part of the shop. She was not charred but she had received second- and "very early" third-degree burns on 25-30% of her body. She was found with a "sock-like cloth" around her neck. She had been shot the same as the others; however, the bullet had missed her brain. She also had a second bullet which had caused severe damage to her brain, exiting through her lateral cheek and jawline. It is thought that the killers had stacked all four bodies one on top of another, but that Amy had pulled herself off and managed to crawl to a different part of the store. Sarah's and Eliza's bodies were found stacked on top of each other with Jennifer's body, which is theorised to have been stacked on top of the others but had been disturbed when Amy crawled away. Autopsy results show high levels of BTU output, which suggests an accelerant may have been used.
Initial investigations had produced a large number of persons of interest, among them a 15-year-old caught with a .22 (not established to be the murder weapon) in a nearby mall days after the murders. Although he initially gave promising information, after tough questioning the detectives decided that he was trying to get himself out of the gun charge and eliminated him and three petty criminal friends whom he had implicated, none of whom were older than 17 years old at the time.
Several years later, a new detective on the case theorized that the four teens from 1991 were credible suspects. By that time, they were in their twenties. In a string of interrogations conducted by various detectives, confessions were obtained from some of the suspects. They said all four - Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Maurice Pierce, and Forrest Welborn - had participated in the murder. No record was kept of what was said to the men in the 1991 interrogations, making it impossible to know whether the detectives had supplied information to the suspects in the initial interrogations. Such information could be used to implicate the suspects in later interrogations, if they were to reference it. Two of the four were sent to trial, entirely due to their self-incriminating statements. The prosecution went into a great detail about the horrific nature of the crimes against the young victims, but presented no hard evidence other than the confessions. The two were convicted, one being sentenced to death and the other sentenced to life imprisonment because he had been 15 at the time. However, the prosecution's tactic of using excerpts of each one's alleged confessions at the other's trial was ruled to have violated the Confrontation Clause because the co-defendant was non-testifying. Both convictions were overturned on the Confrontation Clause alone, and the men were freed in 2009. The prosecution insisted that they would be re-tried. However, forensic investigation showed that the DNA found in a victim was not theirs, nor was it that of the other two implicated in their confessions. The prosecution consequently abandoned plans for a retrial. Texas courts later decided that those released were not entitled to compensation, because they had not proven that they did not commit the crime.
One of the detectives in the interrogations, Hector Polanco, had been accused of coercing false confessions in the notorious case of Christopher Ochoa and Richard Danziger. Both were released after 13 years in prison; Danziger was assaulted in prison which resulted in permanent brain damage. Seven jurors from the trials have stated that they would not have convicted the men had this evidence been available at the time.

To anyone that thinks that women are oppressed in Catholicism/Orthodoxy, read “Women and the Protestant Reformation” by Amy Welborn.
Read 16th century accounts from nuns about how they were harassed by these “saintly” reformers for choosing not to marry, to pursue education and art and music.
Read it and realize what all you lost by not having any strong female saints to guide your men into good people.
There is so so so much that was lost in the West.

“Before the sun really comes up over that mountain range, there’s this atmosphere—the Smokies got their name because it looks like smoke, but it’s fog. The trees give off a vapor from the forest, and it gathers in the valley. As the sun comes up, it’s like a veil lifting, and then you see the mountains. It’s magical.”—Amy Welborn for Portrait of the Artist

Why is Amy Welborn blaming men? In a proper patriarchy this nonsense wouldnt have been tolerated for a second. It is the other way around. The patriarchy is long gone and this is the consequence. It is a womans world now and women set the rules. You are seeing the crazy side of women here. Ladies stop blaming men for all your failings.

Empyrean Sky – The Snow White Rose Of Paradise (2004)
Empyrean Sky – The Snow White Rose Of Paradise (2004) - https://metalindex.hu/2022/05/05/empyrean-sky-the-snow-white-rose-of-paradise-2004/ -
SzegĂ©ny Empyrean Sky
pont akkor kellett tevĂ©kenynek lennie, amikor egy Opeth nevƱ banda a legszebb napjait, Ă©veit Ă©lte Ă©s gyakorlatilag minden levegƑt elszĂ­vott a progresszĂ­v elemeket death metallal elegyĂ­tƑ zenekarok elƑl, teszem hozzĂĄ, sokszor joggal. Ennek következtĂ©ben mĂ©g ma is elsƑdleges összehasonlĂ­tĂĄsi alap, ha ez a mƱfaj szĂłba kerĂŒl, miközben egy John Welborn (Putrefaction, Wormwood) nevƱ amerikai illetƑ a sajĂĄt elkĂ©pzelĂ©seit kezde el megvalĂłsĂ­tani egy jĂłval szƱkösebb tĂĄrsasĂĄgra tĂĄmaszkodva. John sajĂĄt produkciĂłs cĂ©ge mellett kezdte el 97-ben tervezgetni egy olyan zenekar lĂ©trehozĂĄsĂĄt, ami a klasszikusnak nevezhetƑ progressziĂłt elegyĂ­ti a halĂĄlfĂ©mmel, rĂĄadĂĄsul annak Ă©ppen alaposan felfutĂł svĂ©d vĂĄltozatĂĄval, amit az In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates zenekarok kĂ©pviseltek. ProgresszĂ­v szempontbĂłl pĂ©ldakĂ©pkĂ©nt a hangzĂĄs Ă©s dallamok alapjĂĄn mindenkĂ©pp a neo prog vonalat Ă©rdemes megemlĂ­teni olyan csapatokkal, mint a Rush Ă©s a Marillion. HatĂĄs gyanĂĄnt kĂŒlön megjelöltĂ©k a szintĂ©n amerikai Believer zenekart, akik a 90-es Ă©vek közepĂ©n hĂ­vtĂĄk fel magukra a figyelmet azzal, hogy extrĂ©mebb thrash zenĂ©jĂŒket vittĂ©k el progresszĂ­v, technikĂĄs irĂĄnyba (Dimensions Ă©s Sanity Obscure lemezek). Ez önmagĂĄban is elĂ©g egyedinek hangzik Ă©s a vĂ©geredmĂ©ny is annak mondhatĂł. Az ötletgazda felelt a vokĂĄlĂ©rt, gitĂĄrokĂ©rt Ă©s a programozott dobjĂĄtĂ©kĂ©rt, segĂ­tsĂ©gkĂ©nt pedig maga mellĂ© vette Allen Mate (The Everscathed, Ember, Pazuzu, Unsolemn) basszert Ă©s Doug McAllister gitĂĄrost. BemutatkozĂł anyaguk felvĂ©teleinĂ©l Allen helyĂ©re Rich Dunkel kerĂŒlt hivatalosan, de az Ă©lƑ fellĂ©pĂ©sek alatt gyakran vĂĄltottĂĄk egymĂĄst attĂłf fĂŒggƑen, hogy ki Ă©rt rĂĄ Ă©pp rĂ©szt venni. Ez az anyag a most elƑvett The Snow White Rose Of Paradise, ami elĂ©g jĂł fogadtatĂĄsban rĂ©szesĂŒlt Ă©s egy turnĂ©n belĂŒl olyan bandĂĄkkal ismertettĂ©k meg elkĂ©pzelĂ©seikkel a közönsĂ©get, mint az Earthen Grave Ă©s a Novembers Doom.
Ezek utĂĄn persze könnyen lehetne mĂĄsra fogni a sikertelensĂ©get, az elfelejtƑdĂ©st, de sajnos a zenekar is hozzĂĄjĂĄrult ehhez azzal, hogy gyorsan parkolĂłpĂĄlyĂĄra helyezte magĂĄt. A 2012-ben Ă©rkezett Extending The Tangent cĂ­mƱ folytatĂĄsban mĂĄr vendĂ©gzenĂ©szekkel rögzĂ­tettek Ășj dalokat, aminek következtĂ©ben jĂłval szĂ©tesettebb lett maga a vĂ©geredmĂ©ny is. Az Empyrean Sky hivatalosan azĂłta is aktĂ­v bandakĂ©nt van megjelölve, de egy 2015-ben rögzĂ­tett rövid dalon kĂ­vĂŒl mĂĄr rĂ©g nem hallhattunk rĂłluk. Ha sikerĂŒlne egyszer a debĂŒt lemezen hallhatĂł formĂĄjukat, frissessĂ©gĂŒket megidĂ©zni, biztosan nagyobb figyelmet kapnĂĄnak manapsĂĄg.
youtube
De nĂ©zzĂŒk gyorsan, mit is hozott magĂĄval ez a “jĂł forma”. ElsƑ körben rengeteg ötletet a gitĂĄrjĂĄtĂ©k terĂ©n, ami a melodeath riffeknek köszönhetƑen gond nĂ©lkĂŒl sodor minket vĂ©gig a lemez közel 48 percĂ©n, amin összesen 6 tĂ©tel osztozkodik. Ezek többsĂ©ge ĂĄtlagosan 7-8 perces, Ă­gy bƑven van lehetƑsĂ©g a hangszerek kibontakozĂĄsĂĄra, amit kĂ©t hosszabb, izgalmasra sikerĂŒlt instrumentĂĄlis tĂ©tel is segĂ­t. Amellett sem hunyhatunk szemet, hogy a felvĂ©telekben rĂ©szt vevƑ zenĂ©szek igazĂĄbĂłl mind igazi multihangszeresek, Ă­gy mindhĂĄrman kivettĂ©k a rĂ©szĂŒket a kĂŒlönbözƑ sĂĄvokbĂłl. SzerencsĂ©re a dobok programozĂĄsa is nagyon profira sikerĂŒlt, Ă­gy a rengeteg törtĂ©nĂ©s mellett nem tudnĂĄm kĂŒlön negatĂ­vumkĂ©nt megemlĂ­teni az Ă©lƑ dobos hiĂĄnyĂĄt, bĂĄr biztosan hozzĂĄtett volna mĂ©g egy egyedibb, Ă­zesebb jĂĄtĂ©k. MĂ©g ennĂ©l is fontosabb, hogy a nagyszerƱ zenĂ©hez kifejezetten jĂł Ă©nek pĂĄrosul Ă©s ez az, ami a kĂŒlönfĂ©le stĂ­lusokat közelebb hozza egymĂĄshoz. John Welborn elsƑ osztĂĄlyĂș hörgĂ©ssel, tĂŒdƑbƑl, gyomorbĂłl Ă©rkezƑ hangokkal kĂ©nyezteti az extrĂ©m vonalra kiĂ©hezetteket, ugyanakkor kivĂĄlĂłan hozza a mĂĄr emlĂ­tett progresszĂ­v rock klasszikusok Ă­zvilĂĄgĂĄt is tiszta, jĂĄtĂ©kos hangjĂĄval. RefrĂ©njei sokszor beilleszthetƑk lennĂ©nek egy 70-es Ă©vek vĂ©gĂ©n kiadott anyagba is.
youtube
Ha kimaradt eddig ez a lemez Ă©s kedveli valaki a melodikus death metalt, a progresszĂ­v metalt, azoknak feltĂ©tlenĂŒl javaslom a pĂłtlĂĄsĂĄt, mert egy igen erƑs anyagot kaphatnak ajĂĄndĂ©kba a mĂșltbĂłl. EgyedĂŒl a lemez hangzĂĄsa volt az, ami nem tudott teljes egĂ©szĂ©ben meggyƑzni, pedig többfĂ©le formĂĄtummal is prĂłbĂĄlkoztam a hallgatĂĄst tekintve. A rĂ©tegek idƑnkĂ©nt összemosĂłdnak, az összkĂ©p pedig lehetne erƑteljesebb, vadabb annĂĄl, amit vĂ©gĂŒl kihoztak belƑle a stĂșdiĂłban. A projekt legutĂłbbi facebook jelentĂ©se szerint több Ășj dallal is elkĂ©szĂŒltek az elmĂșlt Ă©vekben, de ezek annyira kĂŒlönböznek, hogy Ășj lemez kĂ©pe mĂ©g nem rajzolĂłdott ki belƑle. RemĂ©ljĂŒk egyszer megĂ©ljĂŒk a folytatĂĄst Ă©s sikerĂŒl felidĂ©zniĂŒk ezt az egĂ©szen kĂŒlönleges zenei vilĂĄgot, amit egykor rövid idƑre megteremtettek. Eddigi munkĂĄssĂĄgukat meghallgathatjĂĄtok a zenekar bandcamp oldalĂĄn.

"I’m talking about the battles every human being faces, those battles of every day life, small and great: battles to resist temptation, to overcome addictions, to remain faithful, to find a way to love those who have become unlovable, to be kind amid hostility, to do one’s duty when it is hard and stultifying. Battles against sickness, against loneliness, battles to maintain hope in the face of death, battles to see light in the wake of great loss, battles to just get through the day"

Amy Welborn:
This past May, I shared an article about vernacular Bible reading in the medieval period:


it all comes down to a European landscape that was politically and ecclesially diverse, even before the Reformation. In some countries, Bible-reading was discouraged, in others, it flourished. Most of the time when individual Bible-reading or production was discouraged or prohibited, it was because of burgeoning or actual heretical movements that used and manipulated Scripture as part of their agenda. Most interesting to me was how in some areas even after Luther, it wasn’t Bibles that were prohibited by Catholic authorities – it was Bibles with Lutheran glosses. Aha.
Also important to note: during these centuries, when talking about the relationship of individual Christians to Scripture, it is useful and even necessary to broaden our sense of what “the Bible” is beyond a volume containing all the books of the Old and New Testaments. These were rare and expensive, but far more common were volumes that contained portions of Scripture: psalters, of course, but also the Gospels, or books with the Scripture readings from Mass or even books with, say, the Biblical accounts of the Passion.
So: “Recent scholarship has re-emphasized that the late medieval Catholic Church did not forbid the reading of the Bible in the vernacular, and that there was simply no central roman policy pertaining to Bible reading in the vernacular—let alone an outright ban—that could have been in force everywhere in Western europe, and that biblical books circulated in most of late medieval Western europe’s linguistic regions. the manifold copies containing (parts of) the Bible, both in manuscript and in print form that are still preserved in libraries and archives everywhere in europe are testament to this historical fact.”

O’Connor’s story is a helpful and necessary corrective, it seems to me, of the current spiritual environment which privileges choice and health and seeks to baptize secular notions of success, achievement, and even beauty. What is missing from all of that is a cheerful acceptance of limitations and a faith that even within those limitations—only within those limitations—we are called to serve God.
