KKK costume

 * listing an incomplete nomination from today. no vote. Nabla 17:44, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

This article contains lots of unsubstantiated claims, goofy urban folklore, and wild speculation, as well as a lot of material that is about the Ku Klux Klan in general, rather than its costumes. The Klan has always tried to sound mysterious, ancient, and exciting, and this article is a symptom of that, with lots of nonsensical speculation that the costume was meant to emulate ancient druids', etc. A large portion of the article is simply a list of depictions of the Klan in popular culture. Of the part of the article that actually deals with the costume, I don't think any of it is true based on the print sources I have access to. The images are duplicated in the main Ku Klux Klan article.--Bcrowell 04:10, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the main Klan article gets too long, we can break out material on various aspects, but as is, this material doesn't belong anywhere on WP. Meelar (talk) 19:34, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Ku Klux Klan. --malathion talk 20:16, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - where claims are mere speculation, this is clearly stated. I think it is important to discuss, for example, the evolution of the costume, which is documented, and which was originally quite different. Why should cross burning have its own article, but not this? As for the Klan trying to sound exciting and mysterious, I don't think that's what the article about, since it is not a pro-Klan piece. If there is a "druid" influence, this may well have come in via Sir Walter Scott, whose influence on the KKK is quite well documented. --MacRusgail 14:09, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your statement that "where claims are mere speculation, this is clearly stated;" virtually all of the article (at least the part that does actually deal with the costume) is speculation, and most of the time it is not clearly stated. The Fiery cross article is just a redirect to Ku Klux Klan.--Bcrowell 15:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup.  Grue   19:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

It seems clear that there's not going to be a consensus for deletion, so I withdraw my vfd nomination. I'll delete everything that I think is wrong, off-topic, not verifiable, or duplicative, which will leave an extremely short stub of an article.--Bcrowell 02:02, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Government of Florida

Why does this page exist?
Everything on this page could just be put in the "Law and Government" section of the main Florida article. No other states seem to have a separate article on their governments, and the government of FL is not radically different from the other states. So, I don't think this page is really necessary. --JW1805 04:11, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

This page should stay
This page will describe in great detail the aspects of the Florida Government, including subdivisions therein, in greater length and detail than it would be acceptable to place under the law and government subsection of the Florida page. Other states do have a government page, particularly the Government of Maryland. That page is being used as a model for this one. More information will be added to this page so it will become quite a bit more in depth than it is now.

User:Millueradfa

 * OK, carry on. --JW1805 14:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Federal language true
The language in this article which described the nature of the relationship between the state and federal governments is quite true. The state governments are indeed independant and soveriegn of the federal government and derive their power from the will of the people. The US is a federation of independant states that have agreed to establish a federal government to protect their common interests. The US constitution is an agreement between states to cede some of their power to the federal government. The US constitution reserves a finite set of powers for the use of the federal government and all other powers are reserved for the states and the people. Read it in the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that this language is crucial to describing state government and its foundations. The state governments are operated indepedantly of the U.S. federal government. This is typical in a federalist type arrangement.

User:Millueradfa

 * Well, I thought that the passage in question was sort of unnecessary, since it applies to all the states, and isn't specific to Florida. Maybe you could just put a link to U.S. state, which explains what a state is. --JW1805 14:56, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Laws of US Congress
The U.S. Constitution defines the jurisdiction of the power of the state and federal government. The issue of the applicability of these laws may a complex issue, but I believe that the language that the jurisdiction of laws at the state level is limited by laws passed by the US congress is innacurate. The laws of the state and federal governments must fall within the authority granted by the federal constitution, the constitution is what defines which powers the state governments cede to the federal government, and which powers remain with the states, and which are shared. Amendment X of the US Constitution reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. " Federal law perhaps may overlay the state jurisdiction but laws passed by congress as far as I know cannot limit the legal and lawmaking authority of state government.

Supreme executive power
Supreme executive power lies with the governor
 * I don't think this is correct. The Florida Cabinet has executive power independent of the governor.--JW1805 19:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Alright, perhaps this was a bit incorrect. There is wording which I read in Article VI, Section 1, subsection a, before I wrote that, that says, "The supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor". Yet what you have said sounds like it may be correct. We can leave it how it is currently, it is fine.

-- User:Millueradfa

 * It depends on how "supreme" is defined! The Constitution does say that, but the governor can, in fact, be outvoted by the other cabinet members for certain executive functions.  So, the FL governor is not "supreme" in the sense that he can control all aspects of the administration. --JW1805 20:09, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Native American governments
I question this entire section. I don't think State law or government has anything to do with Indian Reservations (which are governed by federal law). I'm not sure what bills are being referred to (please provide sources). I don't think a State can pass laws affecting the internal policy of an Indian reservation. --JW1805 19:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

-- User:Millueradfa
 * The state apparently has (or had) some kind of jurisdiction over the native american reservations. Read this, its interesting: . Whether or not giving the reservations soveireignty from law enforcement of the state  is a good idea I dont know, it may not be. I have included information about the native american tribes here as well since they do have some jurisdiction over areas of the state. I guess this is a question of what the scope of the article should be. I presumed it could describe the current state government of florida, but also other governments that have jurisdictions which are contained entirely within the states borders, including ones seperate of the state government, the native american governments, and past governments that once existed in the state. As well, I would also like to discuss some the general structure of local governments in the state,which are chartered by the state government.in a general manner, not describing every single city and county but the general structure of the overall local government in the state as it is created by the constitution and laws.

 * I guess you're right. The article does say "Florida now has concurrent jurisdiction with federal authorities for crimes that occur on Indian land."  I guess it is a complicated issue, I'm not sure how much detail you would want to put here about that.  I do agree with putting the history of various governments of FL.  --JW1805 20:29, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

merging Florida Department of Law Enforcement
I propose that the FDLE article be merged into the Executive Branch section, or wherever it would best fit. A new user created the FDLE article and basically copied/pasted in text from the FDLE website. It should be merged or rewritten in original prose. Baseball Baby  05:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

FDLE is one of several state agencies. They should all be separate entries or listed under a broader category like "Florida State Agencies" rather than incorporated into the Executive Branch.

Commissioner of Education
I came here looking for the Commissioner of Education. Didn't seem to find the commissioner. Evidently (I'm guessing) that s/he bosses the Florida Department of Education for which there appears to be no article. Student7 02:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

what does this sentence mean?
"Florida was added to the (United States) between 1763 and 1784, later returning to nowhere. "

Huh?--Filll 21:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Structure of executive
An editor has improved this to a list instead of a blank outline. I suggest that these departments be placed under cabinet officers as appropriate. Also, the repetitive "Florida Department of" may not be that useful. Maybe prefix the list somehow? Student7 (talk) 12:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Weak on local government
This is a bit weak (vague) on local government. I would like to see county government sketched out so that it can be referred to by county articles - when elections occur, number of commissioners, type of charter, when they take office. bonding, relationship to local (municipal) government, etc. I assume because there are more foms of municipal government, that this would be a lot harder. Only differences with other state's municipalities need be given - perhaps there is a general article(s) someplace for them. Student7 (talk) 14:06, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * An article on municipal governments in Florida already exists. Since this article is mainly about the state govt., the local part should just be brief, like it is. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you. You don't have a link (pointer) to that article, do you? The link I am seeing in this article is merely a list of governments, okay as far as it goes but not really an in-depth article(s).Student7 (talk) 23:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It's not a single article. The topic is addressed in each city or county article. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:05, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * That is the problem. Each of the 67 (or whatever) counties has to first describe each constitutional job (state constitution BTW) such as sheriff, clerk of the court, and treasurer, before talking about it. Unfortunately the need for a Florida wide description has gone wanting despite these jobs being described in the Florida Constitution, then pretending here that they aren't. These jobs are not county jobs! Student7 (talk) 17:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

 * They are Contitutional offices. They are elected, not hired, and have their own budgetary authorities. The office holders salaries are determined by the state, based on the population of their county. The Constitution and state statute mandate certain duties to be performed by each of those office holders. And additional duties are agreed on by the individual counties and subject to state approval if the office holder objects to them. None of these are county JOBS, the are Constitution offices, elected on the county level. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Exactly. That is why there should be a single article describing all of them, with a pointer from here and a link from 67 county articles. Individual differences, if any, can be described in the local articles. Student7 (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Special Districts
I believe a section is needed on Special Districts (Water Management Districts, Hospital Taxing Districts, etc.). I found this section on the Colorado page that could be helpful. Gamweb (talk) 02:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Good idea. As a "quick and dirty" might a "List of Water Management Districts in Florida" (etc.) do for starters if they don't exist?

 * Also need something comprehensive on the really large Florida aquifers if one doesn't exist. These are geology/geography at best, and definitely not Government, but relate to water districts very closely!

 * I tried to tag Port Canaveral with a "Florida Commissions" category, a lot simpler than what you are proposing and ran into all sorts of flak over it! The category remains undefined! So I wish you luck in fighting city hall over what should be the obvious answer to your good suggestion. Student7 (talk) 20:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Need Politics of Florida article
This is a well-written, measured article. We really need a "companion" article "Politics of Florida" that would more properly link to (or maybe include) the "Political party strength in Florida" article. Student7 (talk) 15:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Need more than one article
Came across a minor factoid: Less than 9% of Florida dentists are significant Medicaid providers. They limit the people they see under the program. Pays $15 for basic exam. Anyway, no place to put it. I'm working on a tiny state up north. We are (somewhat) better covered than florida. Florida has several of very high level articles, lots of place articles, and not much in between. I don't even know where this would go. Budget of Florida? Department of Health? Medicaid in Florida with higher level article being Department of Health? I have no idea. We do have a suggested structure in the article. A place to start I suppose. Student7 (talk) 00:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Politics of Florida (revisited)
We need to move the day-to-day working of government to a "Politics of florida" article. The government, as construed by the constitution, stays here. The problem with the new article is everyone thinks that campaigning and elections are "politics." They aren't, but it'll be the very devil keeping that junk out of there. Student7 (talk) 13:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes yes. Until the Politics of Florida article can be brought into line, we should merge its duplicate material into this article (and others). Int21h (talk) 06:09, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have merged it. Time to start from scratch. :/ Int21h (talk) 06:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * To me, the e-verify, is pure politics of florida, not really "how the government works" or is supposed to work. Probably income tax and sales tax, as well. These are usually hot spots for politics. Constitutional issues are not prominent there. I think we need to stay away from politics in this article.
 * I agree with your moving constitutional amendments here. That does seem to make more sense. Student7 (talk) 22:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Isaac

Origin of Isaac
you have claimed that Isaac does not originate in the Hebrew Bible otherwise known as the Old Testament. If you have a source suggesting otherwise, please post it here so we can discuss before deleting that from the article. This is a bold claim and needs discussion first. Nycarchitecture212 (talk) 00:03, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Greetings,
 * As far as I recall, it was more or less about the phrasing, than the statement itself. As per common knowledge, the Torah/Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is not a pre-historical document, but a collection of Canaanite myths to unite the different tribes across the Mesopotamian region. Accordingly, the story cannot be traced back to the Old Testament, simply because when the stories within Genesis (which is also a fusion of different stories, hence multiple creation stories) have been written, there was no Torah/Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. At least from where I am from, it is part of the public education to learn a historical and critical approach to sacred scriptures. Maybe this is not universal. This would require me to actually find a source.
 * But then, there is enough sourced material on the corresponding main-articles. According to Book of Genesis even Bible scholars do not believe the Book to be historical. Therefore, it seems to be common knowledge that the Torah is, like every other religions scripture (New Testament, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, etc.), only a collection of pre-existing myths. Accordingly, the story of Abraham has not the origins in the Torah, but the Torah has its origins in polytheistic/animistic myths. Hope this helps
 * with kind regards VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Port Mouton, Nova Scotia

Port Mouton is a small village along Highway 103 on the southwest coast of Region of Queens Nova Scotia, Canada. It is about ten miles from Liverpool, the nearest significant community, and 160 kilometres from Halifax. The local residents pronounce the town's name 'Port Mah-TOON'.

History
On May 13, 1604, the French explorers Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts and Samuel de Champlain landed at Port Mouton and built a temporary camp at Bull Point. The village takes its name because a sheep, excited to see land after a long journey, jumped overboard one of the vessels and swam to shore.

The most significant attraction near Port Mouton is the Seaside Adjunct to Kejimkujik National Park, part of which is accessible via a trail originating at Southwest Port Mouton, a fishing hamlet located on a local road which forks from the 103 Highway in Port Mouton. A study of the rocks (including a detailed map of the rocky landscape in the Seaside Adjunct) was made by a geology student from Dalhousie University's earth science department in 1988. Businesses include a restaurant, general store, liquor store, year-round traveler’s hostel, and one or two seasonal craft shops. Fishing is the main employer for those residents who work in the town, with most employed on boats. The fish plant, which used to be the largest employer in Port Mouton, closed down. There is a United Church of Canada and a Canada Post office located on the main highway. The K-8 school closed in 1994 and children must now travel to Liverpool to attend school. The oldest house in Port Mouton is the Campbell House, which is now a local restaurant named Seascape.

South Park, San Francisco

South Park is a small urban park and eponymous neighborhood in the larger South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, California, consisting of 0.85 acres (0.34 ha) of public ground. The neighborhood centers on the small, oval-shaped park and South Park Street, which encircles the park. South Park is bounded by Second, Third, Bryant, and Brannan streets.

The two halves of the South Park Street re-join at both ends of the park and continue for short, straight stretches before terminating at Second Street on one end and Third Street on the other. This creates a curved line of buildings, which gives the street and park an unusual enclosed, urban character. Local businesses, restaurants and many apartment buildings dot the street.

In January 2016, the park was closed temporarily in order to undergo a $2.8 million renovation, which will include comprehensive infrastructural and cosmetic upgrades.

History
The South Park block was assembled in 1852 by English entrepreneur George Gordon.

The park was originally constructed in 1855 as the center of an exclusive residential community. It was modeled after a square in London, England, as a housing development of seventeen mansions plus townhouses (a total of 58 residences) on a 550-foot oval around a private grassy park. It featured the first paved streets and sidewalks in San Francisco. A windmill in the center of the park pumped water for the houses.

On January 2, 1895, during the settlement movement era, the South Park Settlement at Number 15 South Park was established by the San Francisco Settlement Association. From the late 19th to the early 20th century, South Park was also the center of one of San Francisco's largest Japanese American communities. Sandwiched between the waterfront and the South Pacific Railroad terminus, the area featured Japanese owned and operated hostels, hotels, baths, and shops. Many of the structures remain: the Madrid Hotel occupies what once was the Eimoto Hotel at 22 South Park.

The neighborhood began to lose exclusivity after the construction of Second Street, which made the area accessible to less affluent residents. Rich residents moved to the newer Nob Hill neighborhood in the late 19th century, and the city took over the park in 1897. It suffered further decline after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, when most of the homes around the Rincon Hill neighborhood were destroyed. The oval park, however, has remained unchanged and is still a central meeting place in the neighborhood. After the quake, the neighborhood was rebuilt as warehouses, light manufacturing, nightclubs, and hotels. Immigrants from various countries came to the neighborhood, as well as longshoremen, drug addicts, and vagrants. The neighborhood began to attract artists and young professionals beginning in the 1970s.

The area flourished during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, due to flexible office space at initially low rent. It was sometimes described as "ground zero" of the dot com revolution, with many start-up Internet companies based in the area. By late 2001, however, many of these companies had closed their doors. Yet, as of 2006, in an era for the Internet that some have dubbed Web 2.0, South Park has once again become home to many small Web-related companies.

Recently, some neighbors in South Park have expressed opposition to a proposal to put an above-ground stop on the Central Subway at the southwestern end of South Park Street, on Third Street. Finally the routing of the line has been decided by the Municipal Transportation Agency, and will be along Fourth Street, one block farther west.

South Park is located between the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge (Interstate 80) and Oracle Park, the city's baseball stadium. Many of the nearby streets are one-way, and many carry traffic to and from the bridge, the stadium, and Interstate 280, which terminates slightly to the south of the neighborhood.

Oracle Park (formerly Pacific Bell Park, then SBC Park, then AT&T Park), where the San Francisco Giants major league baseball team plays, is two blocks south and east of South Park.

Roman Catholic Diocese of Pyongyang

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Pyongyang is a diocese of the Latin Church of the Roman Catholic Church in North Korea. Its only official bishop, Francis Hong Yong-ho, was imprisoned by the government of the North Korea led by Kim Il-sung in 1949 and later disappeared. The Archbishop of Seoul acts as the Apostolic Administrator for Pyongyang.

History
In 1927, the Pyongyang apostolic prefecture was carved out from the then Diocese of Seoul. The prefecture was entrusted to Maryknoll priests who had worked there since 1923. Monsignor Patrick Byrne, former apostolic delegate to Seoul from 1947 to 1950, became its first apostolic prefect. The prefecture was elevated to apostolic vicariate in 1939 and Bishop William O'Shea became the first apostolic vicar.

But Bishop O'Shea was repatriated by Japanese colonialists after the Pacific War broke out in 1941. Archbishop Paul Ro Ki-nam of Seoul, the first Korean bishop in the country, then managed the vicariate as its apostolic administrator until Bishop Francis Hong Yong-ho, the second Korean prelate, became its apostolic vicar in 1943. The population of Pyongyang diocese as of 1943 was 3,650,623, all ethnic Koreans.

Bishop Hong was arrested by communists in the North and went missing in 1949. Since the Korean War, the North has not had a resident priest.

The vicariate was elevated to a diocese in 1962 when the Korean Church hierarchy was formally established.

In 1985, the late Bishop Daniel Tji Hak-soon of Wonju visited Pyongyang to meet his younger sister. It was the first time a prelate in the South visited the communist country since the Korean War. In 1998, then Auxiliary Bishop Andrew Choi Chang-mou of Seoul, now archbishop of Kwangju, visited Pyongyang as a delegate of Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan, then apostolic administrator of Pyongyang. This was the first pastoral visit to North Korea by a Korean bishop since the Korean War. Bishop Choi, president of Seoul archdiocese's National Reconciliation Committee, celebrated a Mass in the North's only Catholic church, Changchung Church.

In June 2002, Bishop Paul Choi Deog-ki of Suwon visited Pyongyang and delivered 2,002 soccer balls. From Sept. 8-10, 2005, Bishop Lazarus You Heung-sik of Daejeon, president of the committee for "Caritas Coreana" of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea (CBCK), visited the capital of North Korea to attend the completion ceremony of a cultivation facility for seed potatoes donated by Caritas Coreana.

The (North) Korean Roman Catholics' Association was set up on June 30, 1988. Samuel Chang Jae-on has been its president since its establishment. The association published a catechism and a prayer book in 1991.

Talk:Mark Foley

Intercourse
I'm revising the lead graf of the Mark Foley and Mark Foley scandal articles to remove the assertion that he had intercourse with one or more teens. His lawyer denies it, and the source links either do not mention intercourse or mention only allegations. Moreover, I know of no news source that mentions intercourse when making passing reference to Foley -- only the explicit messages are mentioned, not that he actually had sex with anyone. Fabfablew 21:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The sentence makes it clear that they are just allegations. I therefore don't see any issue with it. JoshuaZ 21:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I rechecked the citations here, and none mention allegations of intercourse. my understanding is that allegations of intercourse surfaced well after foley's resignation, not at the time of resignation, which is what was implied by the sentence. I still think it best to avoid mentioning intercourse so prominently in the first graf, because allegations of intercourse have not (yet) been a prominent part of the news coverage. Fabfablew 22:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This seems reasonable. JoshuaZ 22:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Neither Foley nor his lawyer have contradicted the allegations by two former pages that they had sex with Foley, starting at ages 18 and 21, respectively. Note that Foley's lawyer only denied that Foley had sexual relations with a minor. I think this got relatively little coverage in part because it came out relatively late in the scandal. Crust 14:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "Sex" and "intercourse" are not synonymous. If they simply claim there was sex then we should say so, but we shouldn't speculate about which sex acts were performed. -Will Beback · † · 22:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not speculation:
 * "A former House page says he had sex with then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) after receiving explicit e-mails in which the congressman described assessing the sexual orientation and physical attributes of underage pages but waiting until later to make direct advances."
 * That's the lede of the LATimes story now linked from this article. Or ... wait, what do you mean by intercourse? --GGreeneVa 23:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * For example, some folks might consider mutual masturbation or oral sex to be "sex", but they aren't intercourse. -Will Beback · † · 23:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think Bill Clinton might make that argument. :)  User:Zoe|(talk) 23:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The love that that dare not speak its name
I removed a link to "The love that dare not speak its name" from the "See Also" section. Aside from its being a euphamism for homosexuality, it is unrelated to the article, and seemed somewhat biased. Tobermory6 20:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Why was the name of his partner removed?
Did they break up? Don't tell me there isn't enough evidence because the guy's name and the fact of their relationship is well confirmed and has appeared many, many times in mainstream media. I'm going to add back unless there's a compelling reason not to that someone would like to share. Moncrief 19:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Mark Foley scandal
This subarticle was recently renamed and its talk page protected to prevent discussion. The page was renamed to the misleading and inaccurage "Mark Foley congressional page controversy". It's not okay to call this a controversy because indeed it's not. There's no controversy about whether congressman can sexually pursue the congressional pages. The word means dispute. I agree that in 95 percent of cases, the word Scandal should be avoided. This, however, is a textbook scandal, the very definition of the word. This was unambiguous "loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual or apparent violation of morality or propriety" that Mark Foley himself would be highly unlikely I think to dispute. There are not WP:BLP or WP:NPOV problems with calling this scandal a scandal. Scandal, congressman resigns, this is the very epitome of the word. If the talk page is restored and unprotected, I'm of course open to hearing other arguments, but this current title is not something the event has ever been called -- or could even accurately be called -- so perhaps we need to keep looking? --JayHenry (talk) 15:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Mark Foley's "family"
In his resignation, he apologized for letting down his "family" - what does that mean? - was he ever married??? (the article does not include a personal section, and the article does not say "he was a bachelor his entire life", or "he is married", or "he is divorced". Was he ever married???  Who was Foley referring to when he mentioned his "family"???  Thanks in advance to anybody that knows.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.30.74 (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * He was likely referring to his mother and father. Jaydubya93 (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

"Sexting"?
The lead uses the term "underage sexting scandal", but according to both the blurb on this page and the article dedicated to the scandal, it says he used IM and email, not a phone (indeed, "sexting" doesn't appear at all on the scandal page). I'm going to change it to more accurately reflect what the actual scandal was about. Vyselink (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Roman Catholic High School

The Roman Catholic High School of Philadelphia is a Catholic high school for boys in Philadelphia. It was founded by Thomas E. Cahill in 1890 as the first free Catholic high school in the nation. The school is located at the intersection of Broad and Vine streets in Center City Philadelphia, and is managed by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

History
Roman Catholic High School was founded with funding provided by the estate of Thomas E. Cahill, a 19th-century Philadelphia merchant. Cahill had envisioned the need to create a school that offered a free Catholic education for boys past their grammar school years. Cahill died before seeing that vision come to life. However, those wishes were followed and guided by a written will and his wife, Sophia Cahill. Roman Catholic opened its doors in 1890 and offered free education to boys. Due to increased staff and facilities costs, free admission to the school ended in the 1960s.

Founder
Thomas E. Cahill, born May 27, 1828, was the son of Thomas Cahill, a native of County Louth in Ireland, colloquially known as 'the Wee County' who came to America in 1817, and of Maria Elliott, daughter of one of the oldest colonial families of Delaware. His father was a railroad contractor who suffered heavy reverses in his business. His mother died at the age of 36. Thomas left school to do his share towards the support of a large family. At 17, he opened a small store in Philadelphia, located between Pine and Spruce Streets on 26th at a wharf on the Schuylkill River.

Successful from the start, he embarked in the wood, coal, and ice business with the proceeds of his first venture. He later organized the Cold Spring Ice and Coal Company. In 1854 he became the first president. In 1869 he effected a consolidation of the large ice firms of the city, incorporated under the name of the famous brand Knickerbocker Ice Company.

19th century
Roman Catholic High School was dedicated on September 6, 1890, in a ceremony conducted by Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia. His dedication speech compared education in public schools, lacking the Christian recognition of the soul and the importance to teach that subject at this new catholic high school in the education of young men. A class numbering 105 boys were selected for entrance into the new high school. Later only 26 students survived economic hardships and became members of the first graduating class in 1894. Compared to the number who began as first-year students, the percentage of graduates was a little less than 25%. In 1928, one-half of those started received diplomas. During the 95 years of its opening, 16,228 students graduated from Roman Catholic High.

20th century
In 1985, the Archdiocese slated the school for closing due to lowering enrollment. However, the school's alumni association, with the blessing of Philadelphia's John Cardinal Krol, embarked on a campaign to save the school. Roman's Alumni Association, which had existed for over 70 years, came together to raise funds and increase enrollment. The rector of the school even applied to have the building itself kept as a historic landmark, which was accepted. The significance of the historic landmark designation means the building on the corner of Broad and Vine Streets can never legally be torn down. Also, its exterior must always stay the same — though it does not have to remain a school.

Prior to 1986, students who attended Roman were from "feeder parishes"; Roman served as the school for the boys from the Center City, Chinatown, East Falls, Fairmount, Manayunk, North Philadelphia, and Roxborough regions of Philadelphia.

Roman enrolls boys from almost every Philadelphia neighborhood, including The Near and Far Northeast, West Philadelphia, Fishtown, Port Richmond, Mayfair, South Philly, Fox Chase, Roxborough, South Jersey, and outlying suburbs.

Roman Catholic High School was built to hold about 750 to 800 students. Because of high demand, the school is above capacity with approximately 1,100 students. The school holds an entrance test to select its students every October, November, and December. Of the 600 or 700 students that apply, roughly 300 to 350 are accepted. Students who do well on these tests also may receive scholarships ranging from a few hundred dollars to as much as $4000 a year. Usually, about 40 students receive scholarships.

Like other high schools, Roman has a tracking system: that is, the first track (also called the honors track), the second track, and the third track. Roman, however, is unique in that it tracks its honors class into three classes. While students in the honors classes learn the same material at the same pace, it creates a better learning system to have students of the same level together.

21st century
Beginning with the 2012–2013 school year, Roman announced the implementation of a 1:1 iPad initiative, starting with the incoming first-year students. Due to the ever-changing face of education, students require different tools and strategies. The initiative will allow students and teachers to individualize and differentiate instruction in a familiar way to today's students. Students will work on essential 21st-century skill sets needed to meet state and national standards.

Sexual abuse scandal
In July 2011, Philadelphia magazine published an article by Robert Huber regarding the 2011 grand jury report, which documented new charges of child sexual abuse by priests active in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The article included the story of Joe, a 59-year-old who spoke of his abuse at the hands of Father McGuigan, in 1966, when a ninth grader at Roman Catholic High School.

Historical marker
Dedicated: Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Location: E side of N Broad St., between Vine & Pearl, Philadelphia by the Historical Commission as referenced on the List of Pennsylvania state historical markers. Marker Text: Thomas E. Cahill "Entrepreneur and philanthropist who bequeathed the bulk of his estate to establish Roman Catholic High School for Boys, the first free Catholic high school in the US. Founded here in 1890, the school initiated a diocesan high school system that became a model throughout the nation. Coming from a poor immigrant family, Cahill sought to provide young men from similar backgrounds with the secondary education denied him."

Campus
The campus consists of four structures, Two on Vine Street and two on Wood Street.

Main building (Broad and Vine Streets)
Located on the northeast corner intersection of Broad and Vine Streets. Dedicated on September 6, 1890, the school's original main building established the main entrance on the frontage of North Broad Street. The building's length was 140 feet and extended eastward on Vine Street for 115 feet, bordered on the north by the very narrow Pearl Street and bounded eastward by a ten-foot wide alley commonly known as Watts Street, rededicated to the school. The land was formerly a Railroad Depot moved just north to Cahowhill Street. The exterior is a three-story building of Victorian Gothic design, faced with "Lee, Massachusetts" marble (the same as selected for Philadelphia City Hall), placed on a granite base (quarried from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania) and sited to impact majestically at the intersection by prominent architect Edwin Forrest Durang. The building has two ornamental stone facades along Vine and Broad Streets joined at a square corner tower and two brick facades at the rear of the building. The building originally had a 150-foot marble tower topped in copper at the corner of Board and Vine, destroyed by fire in 1959 and not replaced.

Initially, there were 20 classrooms, each designed to accommodate between 24 and 42 pupils, the building contained offices, a library suite, mechanical arts workshops, and on the third floor, a hall with a 700-person seating capacity, a gymnasium, and studios with natural lighting for drawing and modeling. External fire towers provided access to lavatory facilities, but no provision was made for a lunchroom. The tower, not entirely ornamental, was fitted with instruments for astronomy classes.

Historically Certified in 1986 by the Historical Commission, it is classified as Gothic Revival architecture and consistent with a number of important Catholic churches and institutions in the City.

East Wing-Main building addition (Vine Street)
In 1953 the original three-story building received an additional two-story wing along the eastside. It connected and integrated the exterior brick façade as part of the interior. The space was utilized for physics and biology labs and the cafeteria. in 1996 the school received permission form the Archdiocese to build a $3.5 million expansion to the school, which was funded by the many alumni, friends, and foundations who recognized the historical importance of sustaining a Catholic high school presence in Center City. This wing, which is dedicated as Renaissance Hall housed an expansion of the cafeteria, a new discipline office, one classroom, and an information center which housed the library, computer lab, and television studio (named after broadcaster and alumnus John Facenda). Also during this project, the labs in the 1954 wing were completely gutted and remodeled with new technology, furniture, and equipment. The Library and Information Center was renovated in the summer of 2013 upgrading computers, copiers, printers and furniture named in honor of John and Mary McShain.

Annex Building (Wood Street)
In 2006, the school opened an additional building acquired from the City which had historical significance related to the City's Medical Examiner. The 13th Street Annex was dedicated to James McSherry, an alumnus and benefactor to the school. This new facility housed a sports training center, creative art studio, a multi-purpose room and the alumni association offices.

Arts Building-Howard Center for the Arts (Wood Street)
As part of "A Vision of Promise” on May 30, 2017, the school held a breaking ground ceremony on an additional new building with anticipated completion sometime in 2018. The initial stage is the construction of a 40,000-square foot building. The arts center is named for Barry and Elayne Howard, longtime supporters and benefactors of Roman Catholic. This new expanded academic facility is located about a block away at 1212 Wood Street, and includes band rooms, instrument storage space, a computer-aided design lab, a digital photography studio, a piano lab, a small theater and an expansion for art programs. More additions to the school in the Vision of Promise are planned.

The School had an unveiling ceremony at the Howard Center on Jan. 26 2023 in the Arts Center’s Black Box Theater and renamed the theater after award winning playwright Charles Fuller Jr. The theater’s new name was suggested by a student and adopted by the Board to be “The Charles H. Fuller Jr., ‘56 Theater. “ Fuller, is an alumni member of the Roman Catholic Class of 1956 and died in October 2022.

Athletics
Roman Catholic has been prominent in the Philadelphia Catholic League in basketball since the League's inception, winning 30 championship games since 1920. In 2015, 2016, and 2018 Catholic High won the Philadelphia Catholic league Title (PCL), Philadelphia City Title (District XII), and Pennsylvania Boys Class AAAA (Large School) State Championship.

Roman has also succeeded in football. In the 2006 playoffs, Roman finished with a strong 9–3 record while losing to La Salle in the second round of the Catholic League playoffs. In 2007, Roman defeated Northeast Catholic and Father Judge en route to winning the Catholic League Championship, 10–9 over St. Joseph's Prep. This was Roman's best record ever at 12–2. This marks the team's second Red Division championship since the inception of the new Catholic League format, which began in 1999 and ended in 2007.

Roman Catholic H.S. also has a rivalry with the public high school Roxborough High. This rivalry has started an annual Thanksgiving Day football game; a game Roman Catholic has beaten Roxborough at for decades.

Boys Catholic High School is home to one of the most successful crews in North America, practicing for over ten months a year. Roman's crew team sculls (using two oars per man while rowing) rather than sweeps (using one oar a man while rowing). Recently it contributed a Lightweight Four to the Philadelphia Catholic League Rowing championships, finishing second in 2005 to Monsignor Bonner High School by six-tenths of a second. Roman's major sculling rivals are The Haverford School, Conestoga High School, and Malvern Preparatory School. In 2003 and 2005, two Roman students represented the United States at the Junior World Championships in Athens, Greece, & Brandenburg, Germany. In 2006, 2010, 2012, and 2016 the team won the Philadelphia Catholic League Championship.

The school's golf team has enjoyed many years of success as one of the top teams in the league.

The school's ice hockey team started in 1993. Since then, they have won 4 championships; 2000, 2002, 2010, and 2013.

The school's baseball team has won two Catholic League Championships; in 1978 and 1992. The 1992 team had the best record in school history, finishing the season 15-1 (27-1 overall, losing only the final game of the regular season) after beating Bishop Kenrick in the Catholic League Championship game.

Mock Trial - School Competition
Mock Trial is a competitive club activity offered at the High School that is intended to simulate actual courtroom proceedings and allow students to assume the roles of attorneys and witnesses. The team argues a case problem provided by the Pennsylvania Bar Association and competes against teams from across the state. Roman Catholic students have a winning championship record and has won the state's Pennsylvania Mock Trial Competition. The club has expanded to distinguish itself in awards for both National and International competitions.

Talk:Dexmethylphenidate

more information
can someone who is qualified track down more information on this subject? More and more doctors are prescribing this drug every day.

 * What sort of information would you like to see? -Muugokszhiion 22:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Would the information I have added be what you are looking for? I focused mainly on FocalinXR capsules instead of Focalin tablets. Takaian 12:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Variability of side effects
The article states that dexmethylphenidate's side effects are "highly variable among users". A comparison with normal methylphenidate is needed here, since the exclusion of the inactive isomer should generally lead to more consistency of side effects among users.

Blatantly Biased
This article reads like an advertisement. No, really. I feel like if I was a parent Id get a strong urge to get this prescribed to my unruly kid. Did the pharmaceutical company write this itself or what?

~Yeah I feel the same way. It is very VERY biased. Someone needs to look into this.

 * Agreed, this article definitely took a turn for the worse. Reads like a PDR with an agenda right now. -Muugokszhiion 19:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks like most of it was parphrased from here:, down to the bit about the applesauce. Marcusito 02:01, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the right way to handle this would be to create a separate page for Focalin, following the conventions for other drugs. I'll start it off. Inhumandecency 19:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

"Reception" section
I hate to delete someone else's work outright, but the "reception" section seemed to be entirely based on the page from minreference.com, a natural health site that was making lots of vague and unfounded claims. I judged that the most significant parts were about the side effects, and that topic is already covered. Inhumandecency 08:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Also, mindreference.com appears to be shilling for Serenity, a non-prescription lithium drug! Inhumandecency 08:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Wrong stereoisomer
Apologies if I have gone about this wrong, or broken some etiquette rule, but I thought I would point out that the molecule shown as dexmethylphenidate, is in fact the (S,S) isomer, which is the enantiomer of the actual drug, which is properly named as the (R,R) isomer. Also, the ball-and-stick (3D) model is the wrong isomer. I don't know how to edit Wikipedia, and I haven't the time to learn right at the moment, but I have drawn and posted the proper isomer at this address:

http://www.thisisruss.org/chemistry/dexmethylphenidate.gif

Anyone who has the time and knowhow to change the entry is welcome to use this image (preferably download and repost, rather than hotlink). I do not need credit, or care about rights to the image. Unfortunately, I haven't got access to software to draw the 3D model, so someone else will have to redraw that one, but in the meantime, perhaps the 3D image ought to be taken down, or a note indicating that the it is the enantiomer would be appropriate.

Cheers, Russ Viirre, Assistant Prrofessor, Dept. of Chemistry and Biology Ryerson University —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.117.15.83 (talk) 15:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, that was rather levmethylphenidate. I changed the 2D image to proper one and removed the 3D until someone draws the (R,R) for that one.

User:Angsaar 20:30, 13 October 2007

Comparison vs. Methylphenidate
I feel this article would benefit most greatly from an expansion of the differences between this compound and methylphenidate. Almost all of the current content, aside from the table listing receptor affinities, is equally easy to say about methylphenidate. Perhaps a physician with experience prescribing both to a variety of patients could contribute some personal insight into what this translates to for the actual patient (Note: FDA approval studies that compare the compound with placebo are usually quite nearly useless for deciding what the difference between the compound and methylphenidate might be, because there is no direct comparison, evaluation criteria may differ, and the study was conducted only to determine if the compound(s) work well, and are safe enough.) Zaphraud (talk) 04:31, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I came to the talk page to suggest the same thing. How is this different from Concerta? I've had both of them prescribed to me, and I'd like to know. I have absolutely no idea what the following means: "Dexmethylphenidate" is a preparation of the RR enantiomer of MPH. In theory, d-TMP can be anticipated to be twice the strength of the racemic product. Could this technical explanation be followed by a gloss that a liberal arts student like myself could understand? I'd appreciate it, 74.115.41.36 (talk) 19:59, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Abuse potential
In regards to the phrase at the end of the Therapeutic Use section:

"Importantly, the propensity for "abuse" with d-TMP is much less than for the corresponding racemic product."

The citation for this phrase is a link to a patent for dexmethylphenidate's use (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5908850) - at the end of the patent there is a claim made that it has lower abuse potential than racemic methylphenidate. In my opinion, this doesn't constitute evidence, as the patent doesn't cite any studies specifically related to its abuse potential. Furthermore, it would logically seem that dexmethylphenidate has a higher potential for abuse, considering that the abuse potential for racemic threo-methylphenidate is most often attributed directly to its properties as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and the d- enantiomer is much more effective as a DRI by weight. 76.4.0.151 (talk) 08:07, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Table in 'Mode of activity' section
It would be useful for the table in the 'Mode of activity' section (which looks very interesting) had a bit more explanation. It is not very clear which column refers to its affect on reuptake, and which refers to its affinity to the transporter. Unfortunately I do not have access to the article that is cited, so I don't feel qualified to fix the table. Woood (talk) 08:10, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Intro POV
User:MrADHD: my point is that there is absolutely no reason for those two side effects to be discussed at length (or at all) in a brief introduction. There are many other more relevant facets of dexmethylphenidate that are completely excluded. I don't understand why you're so insistent on including them, which leads me to think that you want them there because they're particularly imposing. Exercisephys (talk) 00:09, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * If you know of relevant facets that are excluded from the lead then that is your fault as you are failing to add what you know or believe should be added as no one has removed any of your additions to the lead as far as I am aware. How am I so insistent? The two important side effects are described as occasional and not usually a problem so they are not particularly imposing.-- MrADHD  |  T@1k?  00:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please do not remove the refs from the lead as you did in this edit . They are review articles and relately recent in publication. Yes the lead should summarize the use of the medication and the key adverse effects. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

"Releasing Agent"
The intro states that DMPH is a D-NE releasing agent, but I don't see a source or a mention in the mode of action section. Exercisephys (talk) 16:01, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Source 11 in the mode of action section says that release of these monoamines (noradrenaline and dopamine) occurs.-- MrADHD  |  T@1k?  00:27, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

HCl is missing?
Some references in the article, as well as this site: https://www.rxlist.com/focalin-drug.htm call it "dexmethylphenidate HCl" or "dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride."

Also the chemical structure in Wikipedia looks different from the above webpage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.210.128.236 (talk) 05:06, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Even when the drug is formulated as the hydrochloride salt (HCl salt), the active ingredient is dexmethylphenidate itself. There may be multiple other salt formulations available other than HCl as well.  It makes sense to title the article and describe the drug in the infobox as the parent API.  Any notable variations if formulations, salt forms, etc can be mentioned in the body of the article.  Reba16 (talk) 23:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Usage of the relative harm chart/study
This UK study has been floating around in "research chemical" circles or those who are proponents of MDMA use as support for psychedelic drug used for a while now. While I fully support the study of psychedelics for therapeutic use I question the validity of the claim that amphetamine poses higher potential for physical and social harm than 4-MTA, a drug which is as strong, if not stronger of a serotonin releasing agent than p-methoxyamphetamine (nicknamed Dr. Death) and who's pills were called flatliners. Also, how exactly did that same "rational scale" determine that huffing solvents lacked such a low level of potential physical harm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.143.121 (talk) 20:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Suggested merge from CTx-1301
I suggest merging CTx-1301 into this article. Generally, there is no need for a separate article for a specific formulation of a drug. The active ingredient of CTx-1301 is dexmethylphenidate, so it can be mentioned here. Reba16 (talk) 23:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Shakkoumon
Though I rather have him on his own separate page, I've altered the Shakkoumon profile as a direct link to Armadillomon's page. User: Fractyl

 * reverted. As said in the edit summary - shakkoumon is as much patamon's form as armadillomon's form. For the sake of the redirect, we are forced to point the article in just one direction. But there's no reason why shakkoumon is more armadillomon than patamon, at least in the context of Adventure 02. -- `/aksha 12:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Games
(Just a 'text dump' for appearances of other Patamon. This'll disappear when the List of Rookies article is created.)

Digimon World
Poyomon evolves into Tokomon, who can evolve into Patamon or Elecmon. Poyomon is one of the Digimon who is on the city since the beginning of the game. It says to you information about digivolving. Angemon will join the city after finding him in Ice Palace. He goes with Jijimon.

Digimon World 2
Angemon evolves from ClearAgumon and evolves into MagnaAngemon MagnaAngemon evolves from Angemon or Piddomon and evolves into Seraphimon.

Digimon Digital Card Battle
Angemon is the last opponent of Pyramid City's Battle Arena. It later de-digivolves into Patamon, which you have to fight in Pyramid City's Extra Arena with Baronmon, Pegasusmon, MagnaAngemon and Seraphimon. Shakkoumon is the 2nd last opponent in Freeze City's Extra Arena The cards of Patamon, Angemon, Pegasusmon, MagnaAngemon and Seraphimon are all Nature and can be obtained in-game. The card of Shakkoumon is Rare and can be obtained in-game too.

Digimon World DS
Poyomon can evolve into Gomamon or Kamemon depending on stats. Tokomon can evolve into Patamon, Falcomon or DotFalcomon depending on stats.

Armor Digivolutions?
Shouldn't this section be deleted? While these Armor Digivolutions are for Patamon, this article is about the Digimon Adventure/02 one. The Patamon that this article is based on did not have all the Armor Digivolutions.--Mmmundo 00:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Manbomon
If Seraphimon is currently here, despite being in the movie, then should Manbomon be here, despite being in the CD-drama? Lanate 22:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thats an excellent point - I can't see why not. What about for the other Digimon of Adventure 02, shouldn't they be included also on their page (their other CD Drama Armor Digivolution)?--Mmmundo 03:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Seraphimon's section dropped or downplayed, since it was a like.. 5 second appearance? -- Ned Scott 03:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I dont think that we should get rid of Seraphimon (considering that he is Patamon true/proven Mega form), how could we downplay it more than it already it (not that much about him in the article)?--Mmmundo 05:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to point out if we decide to remove Seraphimon and Magnadramon (from Gatomon's article), we might as well remove Imperialdramon Paladin Mode from Wormmon and Veemon's articles since he's movie only as well. Nightmare SE 11:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Personally, I believe they should be left as is, Manbomon I believe should not be added as it was Drama CD only, not even released outside of Japan. trainra 12:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I dont think that we should remove any of the movie Digivolutions. The CD drama Digivolutions are a different story.--Mmmundo 14:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Magnaangemon - Post "Invasion of the Daemon Corp"
In the above episode, when the digimon transfer their power to Imperialdramon, does this mean they are unable to digivolve to ultimate again? If so should this be noted in the Magnaangemon section?

Probably. I'll edit it to show such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.153.93.195 (talk) 09:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually that's kind of confusing since Gatomon and Patamon could digivolve to Angewomon and MagnaAngemon in the fight with MaloMyotismon, but mostly that Gatomon on the movie 4, Diaboromon's Revenge (Diaboromon Strikes Back in japan) digivolved to Angewomon, we could see that movie was after the events of the battle with MaloMyotismon because Gatomon was wearing her tailring which Gennai returned to her after defeat MaloMyotismon, plus how explain Omnimon too? if they lost their ultimate forms again when they gave Imperialdramon their energy (Except Agumon who got another digicore) then how they could go all the way to Omnimon then?

For what I know the movie 4 is considered inside the canon since it officialy states that the events of it are months after the battle with MaloMyotismon, just like movies 1 and 2 that are cannon of 01 since the first one is the Greymon vs Parrotmon fight which got mentioned on 01 and the second one got mentioned on 02 when Izzy explained them about the dna evolution and also when Yolei explained how was her first encounter with the digimon, she was one of the girls sending e-mails to slowdown Diaboromon along with all those other kids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.173.26.188 (talk) 03:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Life Is Worth Living

Life Is Worth Living is an inspirational American television series which ran on the DuMont Television Network from February 12, 1952, to April 26, 1955, then on ABC until April 8, 1957, featuring the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Similar series, also featuring Sheen, followed in 1958–1961 and 1961–1968.

Broadcast history
Hosted by Bishop (later Archbishop) Fulton J. Sheen, the series consisted of Sheen speaking to the camera and discussing moral issues of the day, often using blackboard drawings and lists to help explain the topic. When the blackboard was filled, Sheen would move to another part of the set, and request one of his "angels" (one of the TV crew) to clean the blackboard.

In 1952, DuMont was searching for programming ideas and tried a rotating series of religious programs hosted by a Protestant minister, a Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic bishop. While the other shows did not catch on, the bishop (Sheen) was a hit, found a sponsor in Admiral television sets, and became DuMont's only Emmy Award winner during its decade of broadcasting. Life Is Worth Living held the distinction of being aired on more stations (169) than any other regularly scheduled DuMont program, and is believed to have been the most widely viewed religious series in the history of television.

Prior to Life Is Worth Living, Sheen had appeared on the radio program The Catholic Hour from 1928 to 1952. With his hypnotic gaze, disarming smile, and dramatic delivery, Sheen was deemed a natural for television. Airing opposite NBC's Milton Berle show on Tuesday nights, Sheen was the only person to be competitive with Berle. Sheen drew as many as 10 million viewers each week.

Sheen and Berle enjoyed a friendly rivalry. Berle is reported to have joked, "We both work for the same boss, 'Sky Chief Supreme'", making reference to a grade of gasoline produced by Texaco, his sponsor. Later, when Sheen won an Emmy, Berle quipped, "He's got better writers – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John!" As a take-off on Berle's nickname "Uncle Miltie," Sheen once opened his program by saying, "Good evening, this is Uncle Fultie."

The charismatic Sheen became one of early television's most unlikely stars, winning an Emmy Award for "Most Outstanding Television Personality" in 1953. During his acceptance speech he happily borrowed Berle's line, crediting his four writers – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – for his success.

Sheen made famous statements against communism. In 1953 an episode of Life Is Worth Living consisted of a reading of the burial scene from Julius Caesar, with Sheen substituting the names of Stalin, Beria, Malenkov, and Vyshinsky for Caesar, Cassius, Marc Antony, and Brutus. Sheen dramatically stated, "Stalin must one day meet his judgment." One week later, the Russian dictator was dead from a stroke.

Network change
When DuMont ceased network broadcasting in 1955, Sheen moved his show to ABC, lectured for a while, and returned to television from 1958 to 1961 with The Best of Bishop Sheen on the NTA Film Network, and in 1961 with The Fulton Sheen Program, essentially a revival of Life Is Worth Living.

The show was broadcast on local stations across America until 1968, with the later programs in color. Times had changed, and the 1960s programs did not match the audience of his earlier years. Sheen was later appointed as Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, New York. He died in 1979.

Syndication
Reruns of Life Is Worth Living and The Fulton Sheen Program continued to circulate as late as the early 1990s on broadcast stations. His status both as a television personality and popular religious figure fell sharply in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In 2002 a Cause for Canonization was opened to investigate the potential sainthood of Bishop Sheen. This, alongside the availability of his material on the internet, has resulted in a resurgence in popularity for Sheen's work.

His programs were reintroduced into circulation by the Catholic cable network EWTN, with new introductions by actor Joseph Campanella. In the early 2010s, he became a popular figure among younger Catholics.

Episode status
St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry in Rochester, New York, owns the copyright to the series, and The Fulton J. Sheen Company, Inc. owns the licensing rights. The Institute is thought to have the entire series in their archive.

Also, the UCLA Film and Television Archive has four episodes, the Museum of Broadcast Communications has five episodes, the Paley Center for Media has an unknown number of episodes, and the J. Fred MacDonald collection at the Library of Congress has six episodes.

Theme music
The theme of Life is Worth Living during its time on the DuMont Network was Charles William's "Said the Bells".

For Sheen's later programs, a recording of composer Fritz Kreisler's "Marche Miniature Viennoise" (1925) was used, but no on-screen credit was given for title, composer, or orchestra performing the song. Although Kreisler did record a version of this classical composition, it was arranged at a faster tempo and was therefore not the version used for the series.
