podesta

podesta, (“power”), in medieval Italian communes, the highest judicial and military magistrate. The office was instituted by the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I Barbarossa in an attempt to govern rebellious Lombard cities. From the end of the 12th century the communes became somewhat more independent of the emperor, and they began to elect their own podesta, who gradually superseded the collegiate government of consuls. Usually selected from another city or distant feudal family to ensure his neutrality in local disputes, the podesta was often a nobleman with legal training and served for one year (later, for six months). He summoned the councils, led the communal army, and administered civil and criminal jurisdiction. Though the office was subject to strict statutory limitations, it sometimes served as a starting point for the establishment of a despotic government, or signoria. After the 13th century the office declined in importance; in 15th-century Florence its principal functions were judicial.

Podesta was the title of mayors in the Austrian territories of Italy from 1815 to 1918 and of mayors appointed by the Italian government during the Fascist regime.

Do these fuckers have a connection with Mussolini, Hitler and the pope? Kinda looks like it to me.

Killery and the KKK guy bosom buddies. So many interconnected themes, but all seemingly working together to some degree to rape the world and grab as much as they possibly can.

Three main factions, along with their surrogates, all vying to control as much of the pie as they can. Sometimes working together, other times eating their own who prove to be too weak. They worship POWER for powers sake.

Artemis. Mamon.

Artemis

Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans with Diana. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Among the rural populace, Artemis was the favorite goddess. Her character and function varied greatly from place to place, but, apparently, behind all forms lay the goddess of wild nature, who danced, usually accompanied by nymphs, in mountains, forests, and marshes. Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so besides killing game she also protected it, especially the young; this was the Homeric significance of the title Mistress of Animals.

The worship of Artemis probably flourished in Crete or on the Greek mainland in pre-Hellenic times. Many of Artemis’s local cults, however, preserved traces of other deities, often with Greek names, suggesting that, upon adopting her, the Greeks identified Artemis with nature divinities of their own. The virginal sister of Apollo is very different from the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, for example.

Dances of maidens representing tree nymphs (dryads) were especially common in Artemis’s worship as goddess of the tree cult, a role especially popular in the Peloponnese. Throughout the Peloponnese, bearing such epithets as Limnaea and Limnatis (Lady of the Lake), Artemis supervised waters and lush wild growth, attended by nymphs of wells and springs (naiads). In parts of the peninsula her dances were wild and lascivious.

Outside the Peloponnese, Artemis’s most familiar form was as Mistress of Animals. Poets and artists usually pictured her with the stag or hunting dog, but the cults showed considerable variety. For instance, the Tauropolia festival at Halae Araphenides in Attica honored Artemis Tauropolos (Bull Goddess), who received a few drops of blood drawn by sword from a man’s neck.

The frequent stories of the love affairs of Artemis’s nymphs are supposed by some to have originally been told of the goddess herself. The poets after Homer, however, stressed Artemis’s chastity and her delight in the hunt, dancing and music, shadowy groves, and the cities of just men. The wrath of Artemis was proverbial, for to it myth attributed wild nature’s hostility to humans. Yet Greek sculpture avoided Artemis’s unpitying anger as a motif. In fact, the goddess herself did not become popular as a subject in the great sculptural schools until the relatively gentle 4th-century-bce spirit prevailed.

[WATCH] Priests Joseph Sultana and Joseph Cini charged with sexual abuse of altar boy

Victim says abuse by Fr Joseph Sultana happened for the first time just before Sunday mass • Victim recounts rape at hands of Fr Joseph Cini: 'I screamed but he kept going' • Priests plead not guilty, bail is denied

26 January 2021, 7:02pm

by Karl Azzopardi / Laura Calleja

Two priests, Fr Joseph Sultana and Fr Joseph Cini, have been charged in the Gozo court with sexual abuse of an altar boy.

Sultana, 84, who served in the Xagħra parish and Cini, 70, who served as parish priest in Għasri and Xagħra, were charged separately on Tuesday.

They pleaded not guilty to the charges, The court denied bail and both were remanded in custody.

In a show of defiance, Cini waved to journalists when he entered and exited court.

The main witness in both cases was a man in his late 20s, whose name cannot be mentioned by court order. He was an eight-year-old altar boy when the alleged abuse happened.

Case against Cini

Joseph Cini, 70, pleaded not guilty to the charges and the same man who testified against Sultana took the witness stand once more.

The victim reiterated that he first spoke about the abuse he suffered at the hands of Cini with Fr Anton Teuma, who is now Gozo bishop. Teuma told him to report the abuse to the church’s Safeguarding Commission.

Recalling the abuse, the victim said he was eight or nine years old and had visited Cini at his house in Xagħra.

He testified that he had gone to the toilet and the priest asked him if he had washed his hands and penis.

“I told him no, so he took me back to the bathroom to wash my hands and put my penis in his mouth… he pulled down my trousers himself,” the witness told the court.

The witness recalled Cini telling him that it was “only the beginning”.

The priest would take him to his “grey car” and drive away, to places that were far away from buildings. There, the priest would force him to touch him, he said.

'I screamed but he kept going'

The witness recounted how the abuse extended to rape. “One day I went to his house and he forced himself onto me… He pushed me on the sofa and penetrated me. I yelled and screamed but he kept going,” the victim recounted.

The witness said Cini used to give him money every time he abused him. After Cini raped him, the witness said he never returned.

The victim said he ended up depressed and at 13 or 14, started taking drugs and alcohol. He even attempted suicide at 18. “I was ashamed of myself,” he told the court, adding that he was still undergoing therapy.

Abuse lasted two years

The witness told the court that the abuse at Cini’s hands lasted at least two years.

Under cross-examination, the victim said he could not recall the reason why he had gone to Cini’s house but it could have been because the priest wanted to show him a couple of wrestling moves.

At the time, the victim was into wrestling and the priest was involved in Christian doctrine classes.

Asked by the defence lawyer whether he could identify the house, the witness said that all he could remember was that it was small.

“I cannot remember details like the colour of the sofa… I don't remember if we had school at the time. I was spending a lot of time at the Xagħra vocational centre,” the witness said.

Asked whether any of his friends suspected something was wrong, the witness said he used to lie to them. “I never told them where I was going,” he said.

The witness refused to name others who served as altar boys and attended the vocational centre with him. However, after being read out a list of names, he recants. None of the names can be reported on court order.

The defence continued asking for details on the alleged abuse, when it happened, where and what was said. The witness could not recall the details.

The witness could not say whether other altar boys had received money from Cini but specified that on the occasion when the priest raped him on the sofa, he had received Lm5 (€11.65) from him.

Bail denied

The court denied a request for bail after prosecutors objected on the basis that the accused had sent a text message to a witness, telling him not to trust the church’s Safeguarding Commission.

The prosecution informed the court that more witnesses are expected to testify and they feared Cini could approach them.

The magistrate denied bail and remanded Cini in custody.

Priests arrested on Monday

In Memoriam: Michael F. Szupper

Article by UDaily staff Photo by Kathy F. Atkinson December 22, 2017

Monsignor Szupper led the UD Catholic campus ministry for 42 years

he Rev. Monsignor Michael F. Szupper, priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington since 1957, Catholic chaplain at the University of Delaware from 1964 to 2006 and founding pastor of the St. Thomas More Oratory, passed away peacefully on Dec. 18, 2017. He was 86 years old.

Monsignor Szupper was a presence on the campus from the time he began his ministry at UD in 1964. When he came to UD, there was no St. Thomas More Oratory, so he said mass in a variety of locations from movie theatres to a synagogue.

In 1973, Monsignor Szupper was taken to court for celebrating Mass on campus. This case was ultimately decided by the United States Supreme Court and became precedent-setting allowing Mass to be celebrated for students on state campuses across the country.

In a 2003 University of Delaware Messenger article, Monsignor Szupper said the court case was a difficult time for him as he had many friends in the UD administration. "It was a time of questioning and defining the role of religion and its place in the academic community,” he said. “It was difficult work but rewarding, learning when to share and how to serve the student pursuing academic goals as well as fulfilling personal visions and always respecting those who differed."

The St. Thomas More Oratory on Lovett Avenue was built in 1974 as part of a diocesan building campaign, giving Catholics in the campus community a central place to worship.

In his years at UD, Monsignor Szupper rarely missed a football game, arriving early for every home game and cheering on the team and the Marching Band. Students who wanted him to marry them or alumni who wanted their children christened in the fall knew those events would have to be scheduled around the Blue Hens' football schedule. In the 2003 interview, Monsignor Szupper said that, although his shirts were black, his favorite colors were Delaware blue and gold.

In 2003, Monsignor Szupper was presented the University’s Medal of Distinction, the highest non-academic award bestowed by the University’s Board of Trustees. It recognizes individuals who have made humanitarian, cultural, intellectual or scientific contributions to society; who have achieved noteworthy professional success; or who have given significant service to the University, community, state or region.

In presenting the award to Monsignor Szupper, Howard Cosgrove, then chairman of the Board of Trustees, described him as a “man of spirituality, wisdom and integrity.” The citation concluded: "Father Szupper mentor, inspirer and friend we salute you for contributions to the education, enrichment and spiritual lives of countless students at the University of Delaware, and in the process, for sharing your intellect, energy and selflessness."

Brother Ronald Giannone, OFM Cap.

Founder and Executive Director

Brother Ronald Giannone is a Capuchin Franciscan friar, whose religious order has worked for over eight centuries among the poorest of the world’s poor in imitation of its founder, St. Francis of Assisi.

In 1976, after serving poor senior citizens in New York, feeding the hungry at a monastery in Indiana and helping the rural poor in Sussex County, New Jersey, Brother Ronald was assigned to the St. Francis Renewal Center in Wilmington, Delaware. In his new city, the absence of services for the poor, especially for homeless women, deeply troubled him. Soon, he found his true vocation on the streets of Wilmington. Hence, the Ministry of Caring was born. Since 1977, he has served as the executive director.

Brother Ronald began his work by opening an emergency shelter for homeless women. Next came a dining room for the hungry. A second dining room was followed by a transitional residence for single women and a job placement center—all for the poor of Wilmington. Today, the Ministry of Caring consists of a network of 19 programs that form a continuum of care for the poor and homeless throughout the city. Besides providing the poor with needed shelter, the Ministry of Caring, under Brother Ronald’s guidance, helps them to become self-sufficient with support services.

Still, Brother Ronald’s work is not finished. He continues to galvanize support from staff, corporations, government, foundations, churches, synagogues, volunteers, donors and other groups and individuals. Together with him, these supporters help ensure that the Ministry of Caring continues to live by Brother Ronald’s inspired conviction, “the poor should never be treated poorly.”

Brother Ronald has a BA in theology from St. Joseph’s University, a MA in theology from Villanova University, a paralegal certificate from the University of Delaware and a Doctorate in Humanities from Goldey-Beacom College.
