The ArchAngel Institute celebrated this special day in all three divisions.

The Raphael Division, with very much help from Mike and Cathy Butler at Diskey Sign, lit up the southern wall of the Institute with nine beautiful classic Christian art representations.  Drive by the Institute after dark to see this fine work of public art that is our response to Pope Benedict XVI’s call here.  More details to follow.  This post shows one of the works of art now gracing the building.

The Gabriel Division communicated our Executive Director’s long climb toward the Indiana bar and thanked so many who have meant so much to us at our first ever banquet tonight.  Terry Clancy and the crew helped us put on a first rate first effort.  Many, many thanks to those who braved the weather to attend — you are special friends, one and all!

The Michael Division entered federal court at 2:00 pm today and filed a lawsuit against the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program, Dr. Elizabeth Bowman, Dr. Steven Ross and Chief Judge of the Indiana Supreme Court Randall Shepard seeking to have three laws enjoined for due process reasons and documenting a psychological waterboarding that is alleged to have violated both the federal and state constitutions in many, many ways.

The federal lawsuit brings 27 separate legal claims, most of them sounding in constitutional law.  More on it later.

Tonight we close with these fine quotes from President Harry S. Truman that seem to sum up today’s filing …

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

“When even one American — who has done nothing wrong — is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril.”  Harry S. Truman.

THE ARCHANGEL INSTITUTE : BUILDING THE CULTURE OF LIFE ON THE RUINS OF THE CULTURE OF DEATH –  AND NOT WITH OUR MINDS SHUT OR MOUTHS CLOSED!
