Rebel nuns evicted in convent raid
Wednesday, 10 October 2007 18:38
Sixty five nuns have been evicted from a convent in Poland after occupying the building for two years in a revolt against the Vatican.

The members of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Family of Bethany cut themselves off from the outside world two years ago in protest at the Roman Catholic Church's decision to replace their mother superior.

The mother superior was at the centre of allegations over her personal behaviour - the Vatican had rejected her claims of visions of the holy spirit.

More than 150 Polish police, some in combat uniform, entered the convent after forcing the door down this afternoon.

Specialist women's units, psychologists, police negotiators, paramedics and Catholic Church representatives also took part in the operation.

It is understood as the police entered the convent, the nuns sang hymns and hurled insults at security forces, according to Polish police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski.


Police said a former Franciscan monk, Roman Komaryczko, was taken from the convent in handcuffs because of his 'aggressive behaviour'.

One woman was taken away in an ambulance, accompanied by an eight month old baby.

That justifies honouring their name with a band.
The Sisters of the Family of Bethany is a bit long though, and TSOTFOB sounds ridiculous, so someone else may do that..


Great story!!

I just would like to know for how long the former franciscan was in that convent.
The sisters could have tipped the milkman as well..

Just saw this.

Comments? Thoughts? Please tell me that you folks aren't taking such matters into your own hands...

Twas all over Belgian newspapers too, shocked me too I thought/hoped it'd be nothing but propaganda as they're making dental care free for under-fifteens here…

Not that I ever spent much on dental care, my teeth have served me well up till now

It reminds me of the backstreet dentist sketch on The Day Today.

It's daylight here, and the streets look quite normal. But when night draws in, like a great dark thing, this area becomes the stalking ground for scores of dentists.

In case anyone wondered what'd become of "Baby Jessica" after all these years...well, now you know.

this is a "Monkey Tennis?" moment...

LOL! Aye, it just might be, Mistah Blast...

Swearing at work 'boosts team spirit, morale'

AFP - Wednesday, October 17 04:54 pmLONDON (AFP) - Regular swearing at work can help boost team spirit among staff, allowing them to express better their feelings as well as develop social relationships, according to a study by researchers.
, a professor of management at the University of East Anglia, and graduate Stuart Jenkins studied the use of profanity in the workplace and assessed its implications for managers.
They assessed that swearing would become more common as traditional taboos are broken down, but the key appeared to be knowing when such language was appropriate and when to turn to blind eye.
The pair said swearing in front of senior staff or customers should be seriously discouraged or banned, but in other circumstances it helped foster solidarity among employees and express frustration, stress or other feelings.
"Employees use swearing on a continuous basis, but not necessarily in a negative, abusive manner," said Baruch, who works in the university's business school in Norwich.
Banning swear words and reprimanding staff might represent strong leadership, but could remove key links between staff and impact on morale and motivation, he said.
"We hope that this study will serve not only to acknowledge the part that swearing plays in our work and our lives, but also to indicate that leaders sometimes need to 'think differently' and be open to intriguing ideas.
"Managers need to understand how their staff feel about swearing. The challenge is to master the 'art' of knowing when to turn a blind eye to communication that does not meet their own standards."
The study, "Swearing at work and permissive leadership culture: when anti-social becomes social and incivility is acceptable", is published in the latest issue of the Leadership and Organisational Development Journal.

Got to love the "do as I say, not as I do" attitude of our merkin cousins, no? When Israel kidnapped Eichmann there was outcry, not least of all from Argentina who took the view that it was bang out of order for Mossad to be skulking around Garibaldi Street. There are laws and procedures to be followed - spiriting suspects out of the country when extradition proceedings have failed (and have failed because there is insufficient evidence, for the most part), displays a breathtaking disregard for the rule of law. But then that's the current administration all over, innit.
