Countdown to the Kingdom

A little more clarity from the Apostolate's constitution, approved by the Bishop:

......
The Fraternity is constituted and recognized by the local bishop for the priority service of small Christian communities. Priests and deacons will be incardinated in the diocese from which the Fraternity originates and, in agreement with the superior and the bishop, will work according to the charism of the Fraternity in the diocesan circles designated by the agreement between the superior (Fr. Michel) and the bishop. All brothers and sisters share the same goal and the same spirituality.

 

I did.....and what I applied to the news articles offered on the forum is stated. Miss that? There's that "public domain" part that weighs heavily.....in "already in the public domain".

One might just guess that your objection is more geared toward a personal animus rather than delving into any expertise re: copyright law, etc.

 

Only, if you are one to project motives, ETA.

The "information" in a news article is public domain. The particular phrasing of a particular article, from, say "Washington Post," is not in the public domain. You can summarize an article, quote the "gist," but cannot reprint an entire "Washington Post" article without their permission. Opinion articles, not in public domain, belong to individuals/publications.

For example, "The Washington Post today reported President Trump is..." but not their whole article on President Trump.

Anything published by a government, though, is in "public domain," no copyright.

 

Better call the copyright police then.....on twitter/facebook/google as well. Operative words here "news value"!

 

Very,very helpful. Thanks!

 

Often on this site we quote portions or even chunks of the Catechism or from the Bible.

I would imagine this is fine - don't think there is copyright on the Word of God (except maybe for specific translations) nor on quoting sections out of the Catechism for educational purposes.

As for the original article quoted from the Fraternity set up by Fr Michel, I don't see a problem because it came in two separate posts explaining the various roles of the laity, diaconate and priesthood already in the public domain.

The original 'complaint' was not about copyright at all but about the two long posts.

I read them and found them interesting and informative.

 

I give up. (By my own volition, for my own peace of mind.) Lesson learned. Best I don’t say anymore.

 

No, the "Operative words here are "limited." Not the whole article and illustrations.

Garabandal, "The original 'complaint' was not about copyright at all but about long posts."

No, it was about posting whole articles from other places, not long posts of a member's own thoughts. ETA calls posting published works "one stop shopping." That is unfair to the original authors if all their work is taken. From legal website -- which I quote "in part,"

"Under the "fair use" defense, another author may make limited use of the original author's work without asking permission. Pursuant to 17 U.S. Code § 107, certain uses of copyrighted material "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

"As a matter of policy, fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner's exclusive rights. If you write or publish, you need a basic understanding of what does and does not constitute fair use..."

My father used to call this kind of "but, but, but" exchange, "carpet bombing." When we kids wouldn't stop arguing...

 

Simply too long!

 

Talk about going off on tangents lol

 

We are not limited to "original complaints," are we?! We make new and better complaints, all the time. Dropping like unguided bombs...

Whole articles, "grabbed from somewhere else," they raise all sorts of questions! And, truly, it is not fair to use them.

 

I agree -- I think we need be careful with copyright and site the source or give a link instead for some articles.

But you can post up to 1000 words of the Catechism without breaking copyright.

And as much of the Bible as you want but needs to be a public domain version.

 

To be fair, I thought it needed to be addressed, thus, my original comment which some may think was tangential. This is not an apology for that comment, but only a clarification. A thank you to those who took their time to properly address my initial question.
——->Before I post this reply, I am asking Our Lady through one Hail Mary to wrap Her mantle of clarity and good will around my words and, in fact, this entire thread from this point forward!...Amen)<——-

 

The
Crown of Sanctity

On the Revelations of Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta

Two Thousand Years Later, The Greatest Prayer Will Not Go Unanswered.

Daniel O’Connor Foreword by Mark Mallett

This was an excellent piece of work by Daniel. He put allot of time, study and facts into his work in this book and glad I picked it up to learn from.

 

Me too, AED.

I was blessed to be able to visit Sr. Josefa's convent and kneel in her cell where she wrote her visions for her superiors. I doubt I will ever be so thrilled again in this life!!

 

Thank you, EarthToAngels, I had wanted to get this book and thanks to you now I do.

 

What an immense and wonderful grace. Thank you for telling me. Her writings have been so vital to my spiritual life.

 

Gisella Cardia – Nothing Will be the Same
Our Lady to Gisella Cardia , May 23rd, 2020:

Beloved children, thank you for gathering in prayer and for having listened to my call in your hearts. My children, look around you: my favored sons [i.e. priests] are against one another. I had asked you for prayers and I continue to ask for them, because now the priests are against their colleagues, bishops are against bishops, and all this only produces great confusion within the flock. My children, return to God because like this you will go nowhere, but only towards total perdition. Nothing will go back to being asbefore,[1] and do not let yourselves be fooled by Satan, because he is the father of lies. Empty yourselves of your ego and fill yourselves with God who is the only true joy. Be in harmony with heaven so that you can calmly face the Warning that is drawing ever closer. Now I leave you with my maternal blessing, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen”.

AFTER landing safely in Canada from Trinidad, I received a text from American seer, Jennifer, whose messages given between 2004 and 2012 are now unfolding in real time.[1]Her text said,

Blessed candles, salt and holy water—three most important things people can have on hand. Where are people supposed to go if the churches are closed? And of course your Rosary and Bible. Those are my supplies. Remember, Jesus said these events will come like boxcars, one after another…

The text was significant since, just the day before at the Divine Mercy conference in Trinidad, Fr. Jim Blount said the very same thing—even blessing 400 bottles of holy water with holy salt using the prayers of exorcism. For those who are unfamiliar with these sacramentals, they are not “good luck charms,” nor do they contain power in and of themselves. Rather, God has used inanimate articles as conduits of grace since biblical times.

So extraordinary were the mighty deeds God accomplished at the hands of Paul that when face cloths or aprons that touched his skin were applied to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. (Acts 19:11-12)

So, I heartily recommend that in these times of physical and spiritual pestilence, have a priest bless holy water/salt/candles for your home. And yes, exorcists have told us that the older rites of blessing that contain prayers of exorcism seem to be more powerful against the enemy, just as Latin is more powerful than the vernacular during exorcisms.
