In a desperate attempt to defend his reputation, Bergoglio says that "conservative" bishops have a "suicidal attitude" that comes from being closed "in a dogmatic box". He refers to Bishop Strickland and Cardinal Burke in a 60 Minutes interview to be aired. He is intentionally intensifying the rhetoric of the television talking heads and is so unlike the Christ Who sought no publicity. Only three stood by Him at the Crucifixion. Bergoglio is like a father chastising his children in public. My own father never did that.

Las Lajas Sanctuary, Columbia Latin Mass is offered at this 150-foot-tall neo-Gothic church. Level, yet suspended over the Guáitara River Credit: Markpittimages/ iStock via Getty Images The Denver, Colorado, mayor revealed a budget proposal that allotted $89.9 million to aid illegal aliens coming into the self-declared sanctuary city. The "Newcomer Operations and 2024 Budget" cut the fire department’s budget by around $2.5 million and the Denver Police Department’s budget by $8.4 million.
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine-- Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! The tumult and the shouting dies; The Captains and the Kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! Far-called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire: Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the Law-- Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard, All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding, calls not Thee to guard, For frantic boast and foolish word-- Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord! Rudyard Kipling 1897 China teleports an electron 300 miles away using quantum entanglement. How is this possible? I thought nothing could travel faster than light.
“Quantum teleportation” is not what you think. You’re imagining an electron disappearing from here and reappearing over there, like Captain Kirk beaming down to a planet. Nope. “Quantum teleportation” is a groovy, pop-media-friendly name for something far more boring: copying the quantum state (spin and so on) from one particle to another. You read the state of an electron here, transmit that information over there, and copy that information onto an electron that is already over there. The electron you copy from? It doesn’t go anywhere. The information about its state? It doesn’t get broadcast faster than light. Sorry. Franklin Veaux, Quora Destination: edge

A coworker not from SF asked why I walked so fast. Another coworker grew up in Chinatown and never adventured outside for 19 years, while most fishermen were Italian Americans. In the last frames are Mission Dolores, built 1776, and the Golden Gate Bridge under construction, completed 1937.
Fox Business interviews Steve Forbes, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes, a business magazine, and Steve Moore, an economist. (punk - failing economy) Inflation when this Nimrod took over was 1.5%. Forbes and Moore explain what it is now. My grocery bill is proof of what is said, 24%. Nimrod "is credited with having instigated the building of the tower of Babel and of being the author of Babylonian idolatry." Training and experience taught me to rely on facts and figures, not opinions, predictions, or prophecies.
When Lefebvre left the Holy Ghost fathers (founded 1703), there were 5,000, today 2,000. They did not listen to him; others did not listen. The Jesuits have lost 1/2 in the same time period. It is typical of the modernist Vatican to not answer when there isn't one. The SSPX has just over 700 priests. These men faced total rejection for so many years, even after 2009 when the suspension was lifted. A few words from one lady at the FSSP vanquished my ignorance. My hope is that YouTubers stop making negative comments about the SSPX or FSSP. I can't avoid headlines, because YT is my main video source.
Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) goes after organizations, such as police departments, and schools, such as athletic teams, that permit public prayer. The non-profit claims police and schools violate the Constitution's 1st Amendment. FFRF must be the stupidest group around. Their title reveals their true aim.
by Stephen Crane High Five Poker is a table game. It is like a combination of Three Card Poker and Pai Gow Poker. It uses a 53-card deck, where the 53rd card is a Joker and can be used to make a Straight, Flush, Straight Flush, or Royal Flush; otherwise, it acts as a fifth Ace. One small detail: when I enter the cold, my skin reddens. Characters
This story is the 64th. There are 50 poems in the Reading List. All the entries are classics, and many are narrated.
The Third Commandment requires Catholics (everyone) to attend Mass on Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation, and failure to attend is a mortal sin that condemns one to Hell. One cannot evade the Commandment. Peter Kwasniewski is known here in Sacramento. My journey to the Latin Mass occurred a little later than his. He answers the question, "When can I skip Mass?" a pressing question Latin Mass goers face. I do not suffer from scrupulosity. However, blogging on a Sunday could be servile work. My hope is that TLM Catholics avoid nitpicking each other. I'm glad you are there.
Iwo Jima Date of video: March 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima: Feb 19, 1945 – Mar 26, 1945 Five Marines receive communion from a Catholic chaplain in an open field. Four Marines come out of a small cave in the hillside to receive communion. Homeschooling has the advantage. Here are the areas of math that interested me: numbers; basic math like word problems; algebra; and applied geometry. I would have been interested in some calculus if it were astronomy. An example would be trajectories, but that was not offered.
He pursues his interests. See Fratelli tutti, which is Bergoglio’s encyclical. In it, he quotes Gabriel Marcel, an existentialist. Kirkegaard was an existentialist, and others like Marcel relied heavily on his understanding of Christianity. Here I had help from Wikipedia, and I quote. Kierkegaard addressed themes such as authenticity, anxiety, love, and the irrationality and subjectivity of faith, rejecting efforts to contain God in an objective, logical system. To Kierkegaard, the focus of theology was on the individual grappling with subjective truth rather than a set of objective claims – a point he demonstrated by often writing under pseudonyms that had different points of view. He contended that each person must make independent choices, which then constitute his or her existence. Each person suffers from the anguish of indecision (whether knowingly or unknowingly) until committing to a way to live. [Oh, ok, somehow anguish ends?] Kierkegaard posited three stages of human existence: the aesthetic, the ethical, and the religious, the latter coming after what is often called the leap of faith.[citation needed] Kierkegaard argued that the universe is fundamentally paradoxical, and that its greatest paradox is the transcendent union of God and humans in the person of Jesus Christ. He also posited having a personal relationship with God that supersedes all prescribed moralities, social structures, and communal norms, since he asserted that following social conventions is essentially a personal aesthetic choice made by individuals.[citation needed] [summary ended]
I just finished tutoring Altan, 15. He is perceptive and intuitive and recognizes truth. Young people give me hope.
The politician has scheduled a “climate summit” for May 15 to 17.
During a speech, Bergoglio highlighted the contrast in emissions between wealthier and poorer nations. He said that individuals in the United States have a higher carbon footprint compared to those in China and significantly more than the poorest countries. The Pillar (pillarcatholic.com) challenged some of his claims. It noted that per capita emissions in the U.S. are less than 1.5 times those of China. Additionally, it highlighted that China’s total emissions more than double those of the United States. The magazine fact-checked him. Again, this man shows how much he hates the USA. He enjoys all the perks of office. Gas powers his pope mobiles. He flies on jets. In the Middle Eastern hellhole, our military protects the American economy and the world's economies for the benefit of all.
There were two fronts in WWII, but I say that our first target had to be Nazi Germany. Our greatest ally was Great Britain, and Churchill feared an invasion. My father and his sister were sent to Europe. Their brother was killed at Pearl Harbor.
Michael S. Rose is the author of Goodbye, Good Men, referenced in Paul VI & Paul. Rose's speech was posted five years ago. Book TV attracted many viewers like me, so how did I miss the exposé? The only psychology textbook I read was in college. I'll stick to fiction. From 2005 to 2021 Rose served as Book Editor and Associate Editor for the New Oxford Review. He taught literature, composition, journalism, and rhetoric at college and high school levels. He is Headmaster and Superintendent of Cincinnati Classical Academy.
I have a friend, 24, considering the diocesan priesthood or religious life. He has two very good diocesan priests advising him. One is a vocations director, and the other says the Latin Mass. I read a report that Bishop Strickland, exiled but not canceled, tweeted a mistake he made. He said that he was not so strong as he should have been in resisting Francis.
Strickland is the first bishop to make such an admission. I'd invite him to the fantasy nation I dreamt up yesterday. The word nation derives from the Latin verb nasci, meaning to be born. From that we get Nativity.
My fantasy nation would be
Hungarian diplomat Eduard Hapsburg, aka Archduke Eduard of Austria, might be the right man to solicit. He is also a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, the former ruling family of Austria-Hungary. We would counsel him. The nation would be organized around the monastery and from there the educational system would emanate. We would have a modern hospital and police force. We would eschew all other alliances and produce our own products for export, which would then provide exchange for imports. Taxes would be enough and no more to pay for the hospital, a bank, a court, and police. Settlers would provide other community needs, such as roads, fire, water, and reclamation, and, like Yellowstone, there would be no fences, necessitating firearms, and people would be free to leave. There would be no need for a constitution as our school would give its students Pope Leo XIII's encyclical on the relationship between government and Church, Immortale Dei. Where? 'One Step Beyond' St. Marys, KS. How many synods have there been? 19 How many have there been recently? 16 In the modern era, the first took place in 1967, established by Paul 6, the purpose of which was to continue the “collaborative spirit” of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) by gathering bishops from around the world to discuss a topic chosen by the leader. The 2023-2024 Synod on Synodality is the 16th. Sixteen out of 19 have occurred since 1967. Do you need me to repeat that? The Organization Credit goes to Marc Barnes. He titles his article dated March 24, 2017, "An Idiotic Hierarchy." He mocks with one equilateral triangle, a one-sided pyramid. If I link the article, the temple police will be after him. area = √3/4 x a² (a is the length of the side, all sides being a)
Encyclical Oct 3, 2020
Title translated: all brothers Selected quotes from Wikipedia [Islam] In the encyclical, Pope Francis states that his February 2019 meeting in Abu Dhabi with Grand Imam of al-Azhar, during which they signed the Document on Human Fraternity, was an inspiration for the document. [Existentialism] The notion of “neighbour” elaborated in the document is partly inspired by the interpretation of Paul Ricoeur, whom the pope quotes twice in the encyclical; the pope also quotes one of Ricoeur’s thought leaders, Christian existentialist philosopher Gabriel Marcel. [Fernandez] Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez participated in the encyclical’s redaction. [Death Penalty/Life Imprisonment] Pope Francis repeats that the death penalty is “inadmissible” and that “there can be no stepping back from this position”. He also expresses opposition to life imprisonment, which he calls a “secret death penalty”. [War] Francis says that wars can no longer be considered justifiable, as the risks of war exceed any supposed benefits. He believes that “it is very difficult nowadays to invoke the rational criteria elaborated in earlier centuries to speak of the possibility of a just war.” [Just War] Francis adds that Augustine of Hippo, “who forged a concept of ‘just war’ that we no longer uphold in our own day, also said that ‘it is a higher glory still to stay war itself with a word, than to slay men with the sword, and to procure or maintain peace by peace, not by war.’” [Freemasons] Through its communication organ El Oriente, the Grand Lodge of Spain praises the encyclical, saying that it shows “how far the current Catholic Church is from its former position.” The Grand Orient of Italy wrote in its official magazine Erasmo to praise the encyclical, saying the “idea of universal brotherhood as a bond that unites all human beings, regardless of their faith, ideology, color, skin, social background, language, culture and nation” expressed in the Fratelli tutti are “close to the ideals that have been the very foundations of Freemasonry from the very beginning.” He wants to change the Church into a global brotherhood in his own image. When will he become a father again, taking care of us? Never. |
