Christian anarchism is coming to a Church near you soon.

The Judaeo-Christian prohibition on contraception is based on the positive Biblical commandment to "be fruitful and multiply."

The doctrine has a long history - more at: St. Thomas Aquinas on contraception St. Thomas Aquinas Referring to contraception, the Angelic Doctor declared: ?Hence, after the sin of homicide whereby a human life already in existence is destroyed, this type of sin appears to take next place, for by it the generation of human nature is impeded.?[1] The ?Si Aliquis? Canon Dr. William May writes that this canon, integrated into the law of the Church in the Decretum Gregorii IX (book 5, title 12, chapter 5) and part of the Church?s canon law from the mid-thirteenth century until the 1917 Code of Canon Law, clearly compared contraception to murder. It declared: ?If anyone (Si aliquis) for the sake of fulfilling sexual desire or with premeditated hatred does something to a man or a woman, or gives something to drink, so that he cannot generate or she cannot conceive or offspring be born, let him be held as a murderer.?[2] The Roman Catechism (Catechism of the Council of Trent) The Roman Catechism, which was published by decree of Pope St. Pius V, has been used as an authoritative guide to Church teaching since the end of the sixteenth century. The Roman Catechism states the following about contraception: ?Whoever in marriage artificially prevents conception, or procures an abortion, commits a most serious sin: the sin of premeditated murder.?[3] Dr. William May notes that Pope Paul VI explicitly referred to this text in footnote number 16 appended to Humanae vitae, no. 14. Fr. John McHugh, O.P., and Fr. Charles Callan, O.P. ?The perpetuation of the human race is endangered as soon as marriage is abused as to its natural end. Hence, after the crime of homicide which destroys human life already in existence, contraception seems to rank next in enormity, since it prevents human life from coming into existence.?[4] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa contra gentiles, 3, 122.

Morrison?s quick'n'easy porridge (100% oats) takes just 4 minutes - to a saucepan add 1 part oats, 3 parts water, milk or both and salt to taste. Bring to boil while stirring and it?s done. Add a dash of cold milk, fruit, jam, honey or whatever. Delicious. A 1/2-cup measure makes a small or medium serving.

"His acquittal ... ends a five-year ?8 million police investigation which failed to yield a single conviction." How can several banker's bonuses' worth of expenditure be justified in pursuit of a paltry ?75,600* in unpaid tax? It's madness! * 40% of ?189,000.

Better still: dog poo can be matched to its manufacturer via DNA fingerprinting. Believe it or not, pet DNA testing is big business.

The new chart is overlaid with a 200 moving average, as requested. Just an observation because it is out of the ordinary; yesterday (amongst many others) GBPUSD, EURUSD, Silver and the Dow30 Index made new short-term highs while the US Dollar Index made a new short-term low.

No one who has worked in the front office would ever say that out aloud. Charts are the greatest sales tools ever devised - clients love them. (When I started in this business, that's all we had. We had to draw them by hand, too.) True - if the Euro stayed where it was, both legs of the straddle would expire worthless - that's why the smart players only speculate with other peoples' money.

You could be right - short term. Traditional technical analysts would probably interpret that chart as bullish over the long term - even if the price were to dip below the 2010/07 low. It's an ambiguous pattern, though. That could be a 3-year half-way flag signalling an upside move to 1.25-1.30 or it could be an unusual-looking bull market top threatening an imminent downside break to 0.6000 or lower. Does anyone else fancy calling this one?

I've just grabbed this weekly-scale chart of EUR/GBP to illustrate the up and downside potentials. 33:1 leverage is still available in the forward market. There's little or no support/resistance on either side. For those with the balls, there's more than enough potential to make a killing and retire - if one gets the breakout direction right. It may be possible to take a deep-out-of-the-money put and call position on this and still make money whichever way it goes - if the timing is right.

Huguenot - Chill! Someone should do a study on why your cognitive processes are humour and irony-impaired? Yes, really! :)

I'd be very surprised if any serious investor hadn't already established well-leveraged positions in the Euro and its derivatives, [ETA] either long or short or as part of a more complex strategy. It?s the only game in town.

This reminds me of the Study About The Intelligence Of Internet Explorer Users.

That's what I've been thinking; since it hasn't already collapsed, it'll probably go up. Sell the rumour, buy the news.

I can't be the only one who remembers when London had snow every year - and loads of thick fog that occasionally turned into nasty black smog. One year the drifts were ten feet deep and the snow lay where it fell for three months straight - well into March.

I still like to see what's under the bonnet. Your image reminds me of one of my favourite old-school photographers, Andreas Feininger (1906-1999). He was perhaps the first to expose cityscapes from a great distance using telephoto lenses. His images of New York from across the harbour are stunning. See Poster Gallery.

The F-stop number or F-ratio is the focal length divided by the effective aperture of a lens. It expresses how much light passes through (to expose the image) as a ratio so that different lenses can be compared directly. Yes - I was once a professional, although I haven't exposed a frame in earnest for over twenty years now.

I've just invented a dog shit-seeking missile and I claim my ?10,000. Pay up or the naughty puppy doesn't get it!

It's lovely out there, but the snow is already melting: it'll be gone fairly soon if today's warm weather continues.

Did any one mention Beelzebub?
