salva sancta parens

Hail, holy Mother, thou who didst bring forth the King who rules Heaven and earth for ever and ever. My heart has uttered a good word. I speak of my works to the king. Psalm 42:2 Douay-Rheims

Puerpera means “woman in childbirth”, and the Latin word for boy is puer. Eructavit is a royal epithalamium, the song of David’s love for his wife the queen, of God’s love for Israel, of Jesus’s love for His Church. An epithalamium is a song or poem celebrating a marriage, and thus we speak of the Church in the feminine form.

“Although she ruled Egypt as pharaoh from 51 BC to 30 BC, Cleopatra wasn’t of Egyptian descent. She was instead Greek, specifically Macedonian [Macedonia, Alexander the Great’s country]. Cleopatra was the last of a line of rulers of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, a dynasty founded by her distant ancestor Ptolemy I Soter.

“While the kings of this dynasty often fashioned their names after its originator, Ptolemaic queens preferred names such as Arsinoë, Berenice, and of course, Cleopatra (hence the ‘VII’).
 
“Although Cleopatra wasn’t ethnically Egyptian, she does hold the honorable distinction of being the only Ptolemaic ruler who could actually speak the Egyptian language — along with half a dozen or so other languages.” Polylingual lady!

Bill, my friend from St. Stephen, told me about Wim Muller. Born in Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island, Mr. Muller, the white-haired gentleman, here plays his own waltz with another pianist. I listened to some of his other compositions. He is a kind of Caribbean Chopin.

​Heraclitus said, “Change is the only constant in life.” He did not know the unchanging God. He could have, through the Jews, or as Aristotle did, through the natural law.

I have not heard one good reason for Vatican II, and the one about change being inevitable is the weakest of all.
I was received on April 1, 1961, and loved everything about being Catholic. By the end of the 1960s, all the attractions had been walloped or warped.

Did enemies take control? You tell me. Secrecy is secrecy; deception is deception; destruction is destruction. See New Movie under the More tab.

I like plain talk. For this reason I have no quarrels with anyone on my side, including sedevacantists. The Vatican II church brought them into being and is to blame.

My quarrel is with modernism, and popes agree, adding power to my argument, which by itself will defeat a circular argument, like the Heraclitus fallacy. The premises presume the very conclusion to be proved, which is, everything changes in life, therefore change is a constant.


In hac scientia vincemus. In this knowledge we shall conquer.

Non est talis res quam fatum. There is no such thing as fate.
Strong men are struck down, not by Fate, but by bad men.

glorified body

1/29/2023

0 Comments

 
Today, Father Joshua Curtis, FSSP, said that Jesus laid aside His glorified body, as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, to become a man and experience all that a man experiences but sin. This constituted a continuous miracle from His conception to His resurrection.

Evidence lay in the fact that He was drained of energy after the miracles He performed, and a miracle explained why He was exhausted and asleep at the time of the massive Sea of Galilee storm. The apostles thought they were going to drown, Jesus accused them of having little faith, and then He saved them from the storm. Matt. 8, 23-27

Perhaps, it was only during the Transfiguration that Jesus resumed his glorified body long enough for Peter, James, and John to see. They described Him. “And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.” Matt. 17, 2

Douay-Rheims

We have the hope of a glorified body after the General Resurrection. “These three characteristics, identity, entirety, and immortality, will be common to the risen bodies of the just and the wicked. But the bodies of the saints shall be distinguished by four transcendent endowments, often called qualities.” They are impassibility, brightness, agility, and subtility.

--financial district near Chinatown 100 years ago-- One time I saw a Chinese woman on Bush heading for Kearny with a leash and a dog at the end of it, and pushing a baby carriage, and holding her cell phone in the only other available hand. She wasn't hit.

I did not know about corruption in the company that is Boeing’s main competitor. Airbus is headquartered in the Netherlands and manufactures jets in Tianjin, China. The company claims it is pioneering “sustainable” aerospace for a safe and united world. One can use virtue-signaling words and still be corrupt as hell. We have seen many examples of that. https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/americas-military-tech-and-the-airbus-problem/​

Teens and young adults get along with each other. I dunno, but it seems that when people pass 30, they get stupid and judgmental. Adults get the wrong impression of me. They think I’m rigid and judgmental. Yes, I have strong beliefs, but I like to tease and be teased, and make exceptions. I have very low standards. What? Figure that out. It’s been said, “Youth is wasted on the young.” No, it’s not. Adulthood should be avoided.

minnesota mining

“Fox News reported that on Thursday, the  Department of the Interior (DOI) ‘announced that it would complete a 20-year withdrawal of 225,504 acres in a northern Minnesota forest area that is home to some of the largest domestic critical mineral reserves.’

“Environmentalists’ concerns with any future mining activity, so they said, was that it would ‘contaminate’ the surrounding habitat and watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Duluth, Minnesota.”
…

“Fox News noted: ‘However, Twin Metals’ mining project contained about 88% of the nation's cobalt reserves in addition to vast copper, nickel, and platinum-group elements. Such critical minerals are vital for various green energy technologies like electric vehicle batteries, battery storage facilities, solar panels, and wind turbines, which the Biden administration has aggressively pushed.”

Again, they are concerned about canoes. We all drive one of those to work or school.

The University of Bologna, founded 1088, is the oldest continuously operating university in the world. It has an enrolment of around 87,760 students, of which 6,400 are international students. Pope Alexander VI, that philanderer, is a graduate. Other graduates are Gregory XIII, Gregory XV, and Innocent IX, and notables include Petrarch and Marconi.

don't go

Don’t go to a Latin Mass parish. If you do, you will not return to the Vatican II church. I am done with that church. In a Latin Mass parish, you will not hear a word that is not in the rubrics, you will not see women or girls in the sanctuary, you will not see people touching the sacred host or drinking consecrated wine, you will not hear banjos or drums, you will not see people dressed for the beach, and you will not hear anyone but the priest speaking and the altar boys responding. You will hear the silence of God Himself as men do what He has asked them to do since Pentecost Sunday, A.D. 33. If you love language and know its importance, you will come to a Latin Mass parish. If you recognize repetition as a child does and is transfixed and transported by it, you will come to a Latin Mass parish.

Read her body language. She can't even say child or 13 or 18, because she is trying to hide the horror. Why is any child not accompanied? Answer: she and people like her want to take the place of parents/guardians and expropriate maternal/paternal rights to themselves. Why not adopt a child? No, on second thought, don't do that, you creepy, dystopian witch. My parents would never have permitted you in the home, the church, the school, the playground, the playing field, the swimming pool, the locker room, or any club for boys and girls.

latin to english rhyme

The recording is on-site. To the modern eye, there is a spelling anomaly having to do with the letter j - see https://www.dictionary.com/e/j/ The funny-looking f, which is not an error, is an s.

Mary Magdalen is here recollected as well the thief and ourselves when the time arrives. Latin outranks, but the English translator deserves credit for finding rhyming words.

Here is a different translation still retaining rhyme.
Hans Memling, c. 1471, style Northern Renaissance, oil and wood, National Museum, Gdansk, Poland.

scientific dogmas

1/26/2023

Following is a lecture I wish all my former students could hear. Einstein and thousands of other scientists are dead. They had finite lives and finite brains. My current student with a high IQ and I with one not so high, as far as I know, fudge answers! It’s our secret. BTW, jellyfish have no brain. Instead, they have radially distributed nervous systems that are adapted to their unique body plan.
Sheldrake is a practicing Anglican, having studied with a Sufi teacher, having practiced Sufism while in India, and having been “drawn back to a Christian path” during his time there, as he stated. We can all disagree with this scientific dogma or that one, but his main point seems promising, perhaps because I am influenced by Huxley, Burgess, and Kubrick and their thoughts on dystopian democracy.

​The proliferation of YouTubers reporting news from around the world sustains the claim that, to varying degrees, mainstream media is untrustworthy. If you are still watching the mainstream, other than for weather reports and police chases, you are behind the times. Young people tell me they do not watch television and get their news from social media (yikes) and YouTube. You might have noticed that many of the YouTubers I follow are supported by subscribers to their Patreon pages. A man who objected to YouTube's reduction of his income stream founded Patreon in San Francisco.

The sport of choice for urban poor is BASKETBALL.
The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.
The sport of choice for frontline workers is FOOTBALL. 
The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL. 
The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.  And...  
The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.
The fact is, the higher you go in the corporate world, the smaller your balls become.

There must be a boatload of people in Washington DC playing marbles.

one truth

1/26/2023

​If you have looked at the long, unbroken line of popes in the post dated 1/21/2023, for you who are not Catholic, I wonder why you cannot see the truth? I could not have been more than 14 when I realized that history was on my side. That realization I came to on my own with no assistance from anyone else. All of this is a mystery to me, as much as Almighty God finding a little boy is.

Note: When I was 17, I was sent to a Catholic psychiatrist. That was the metaphoric year everyone took aim at me. After a few months, I told my parents I didn’t need to be psychoanalyzed. He told them that in one area of life, I was a late bloomer, and in another area of life, I was quite mature. I was in the crosshairs. For young men reading my blog, stay true to your originality.

Mad Magazine occupied my attention the summer of 1964. The magazine had a lot of military stuff that appealed to boys, such as tanks, guns, rifles, hand grenades, knives, nooses, and booby traps. The magazine was a gut-buster. I am not a criminal.
