1 Kings 9:6-8

6 “But if you or your descendants turn away from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. 8 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

Goldman fund to exit company owning sex traffic site

April 2, 2012

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A private equity fund run by Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) has agreed to sell its stake in the media company that runs a sex trafficking forum back to company’s management, a spokeswoman said on Sunday.

GS Capital Partners III on Friday signed a deal to sell its 16 percent stake in Village Voice Media, which owns the website, called Backpage.com.

The fund began negotiations with Village Voice Media in March, after deciding in 2010 that it had grown “uncomfortable with the direction of the company,” and Goldman’s inability to influence its operations, said Andrea Raphael, a Goldman Sachs spokeswoman.

The sale was first reported in a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times on Saturday. The fund’s investment was also the subject of a Kristof column last week.

Raphael said the fund invested $30 million in the Village Voice in 2000. The investment was converted into a 16 percent minority stake when the Village Voice merged with New Times Inc in 2006.

She declined to disclose the sales price, but said the fund lost a “vast majority” of its investment.

Village Voice Media was not immediately available for a comment.

Online prostitution advertising generated at least $3.1 million in revenue in February, on five U.S. websites, an increase of 9.8 percent from a year earlier, according to interactive media and classified advertising consultant AIM Group. Nearly 80 percent of the revenue was attributed to Backpage.com, AIM said in a report published March 22.

Village Voice Media owns the alternative newspaper The Village Voice, which was founded in 1955.

Over the years, the newspaper has published groundbreaking investigations and received three Pulitzer Prices. Its back pages, in contrast, have for decades been the bastion of escort service advertising.

Backpage.com also posts lists for hundreds of other classified advertising throughout the country.

They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Catholic Editor: Sex Abuse Scandal Could ‘Split’ the Church Like Another Reformation

Philip Lawler, editor of Catholic World News, believes the sexual abuse scandal currently engulfing Pope Francis could create divisions “so great that the Church will split” and lead to “the equivalent of the Reformation.”

He offered his analysis in a Wednesday interview with Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight.

"Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." —Acts 4:12
