The video looks like a combination of real-time and file footage of F-22 Raptors, the close-ups. To ancient Greeks, “butter eater”, boutyrophagoi in Greek, root for the English adjective butyraceous (byo͞odəˈrāSHəs), meaning of or like butter, was an insult to hurl at someone. Romans and Greeks preferred olive oil, used to this day in the Roman and Greek Churches. Margarine comes from the Greek margaron, pearl.
🐐 The goat emoji is a compliment. “GOAT” is an acronym meaning “Greatest of All Time,” so if you receive a goat emoji, you’re doing something well.
We had a hiccup in our parish bulletin on Sunday. It read Sexuagesima Sunday II. That should be Sexagesima. The Latin word for six is sex, and 60 is sexaginta. Sexagesimal, also known as base 60 or sexagenary, is a numeral system with sixty as its base. It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates. An analog clock has three hands. The short hand indicates the hour, the long hand indicates the minute of the current hour, and the thinnest hand indicates the second of the current minute. I have one in the house that runs on a battery in case there is a blackout. Because of digitalization, young students today struggle with this concept.

For those of you who have lived in New Mexico, you know how true this is. They have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the Santa Fe Plaza. Judge #3 was an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from NYC.
Frank: “Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge #3.” Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CHILI # 1 – MIKE’S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These New Mexicans are crazy. CHILI # 2 - EL RANCHO’S AFTERBURNER CHILI Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CHILI # 3 - ALFREDO’S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, and now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. CHILI # 4 - BUBBA’S BLACK MAGIC Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is starting to look HOT ... Just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 - LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Jalapeno peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the jalapeno peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I tooted, and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. CHILI # 6 - VARGA’S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can’t feel my lips anymore. CHILI # 7 - SUSAN’S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho-hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing. It’s too painful. Screw it; I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the four-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM’S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 passed out, fell over, and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he’d have reacted to really hot chili? Judge # 3 -- No report. Thank you, Carol T., for sending to me. I placed this video in the school category because students K through 12 learn about the First Amendment’s freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition clauses, and here they can see how some people are suppressing freedom of speech and press.
The Constitution of the United States of America, Article I. Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power … To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; … Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I fact check before posting. This is done by reading several news sources, then occasionally verifying with fact-checking outfits, on all sides, and by relying on connate sense and analysis. This takes time, but I feel an obligation to do it. Southern Poverty Law Center targets “Traditionalist” Catholics. Report backs up Anthony Stine (see 2/9/2023). Patrick Henry felt that the Constitution put too much power into the hands of the government and was instrumental in the creation of the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment includes freedom of religion. It’s unbelievable that these people are even interested in us. There’s that paranoid use of the word traditionalist again. We are not traditionalists; we are Catholic, nothing more.

The virus circulating at the time sent us there. We endured five months of our churches being closed. The pictures below are so beautiful, all recent photos, not nostalgia, two showing rows of priests saying Mass at rows of altars, which is something I saw as a boy. A Catholic priest narrates. “Per the Daily Wire, the concern about Chinese espionage expressed by former Attorney General Sessions in that 2018 speech was also shared by FBI Director Chris Wray, even as recently as Feb. 2022, according to statements he made in an interview at that time with NBC News.
“Wray revealed that he had been ‘shocked’ to learn of the ‘sheer scale’ of Chinese espionage when he first became the director in 2017, and told the outlet, ‘This one blew me away. And I’m not the kind of guy that uses words like blown away easily.’ “‘There is no country that presents a broader, more severe threat to our innovation, our ideas, and our economic security than China does,’ he said, and further noted that a new investigation into alleged Chinese espionage was opened roughly every 12 hours or so. “Wray went on to describe the espionage as ‘more brazen, more damaging than ever before,’ and in terms of cyber-espionage, said, ‘The scale of their hacking program, and the amount of personal and corporate data that their hackers have stolen, is greater than every other country combined.’” https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/biden-doj-canceled-program-chinese-espionage/ Talk to Chinese nationals in the US, and they would laugh in your face about claims of racism because the US is resisting Chinese espionage. The Chinese diaspora in the US is comprised of approximately 5.4 million individuals who were born in China, Hong Kong, or Macao, or reported Chinese ancestry or race, according to MPI tabulation of data from the Census Bureau’s 2021 ACS. The Chinese diaspora is the ninth largest in the US. Can. 87 §1. A diocesan bishop, whenever he judges that it contributes to their spiritual good, is able to dispense the faithful from universal and particular disciplinary laws issued for his territory or his subjects by the supreme authority of the Church. He is not able to dispense, however, from procedural or penal laws nor from those whose dispensation is specially reserved to the Apostolic See or some other authority.
A bishop received the following from the Vatican: “… requests him to ‘make it right’ by petitioning for a dispensation based on further information the … [Vatican] required -- including information on how many attend the TLM [traditional Latin Mass] and how the priest intends to lead them eventually to the Novus Ordo. … There it is. Woodside, called Woodland in the story, is south of San Francisco. What did the pet shop and mortuary of the train set replace? What happened to other railroad models? Does their removal represent the power over life and death? As boy I owned Lionel and HO trains.
“Solar panels are mostly made of glass, which has low value as a recycled material, but they also have small amounts of silicon, silver, and copper as well as heavy metals (cadmium, lead, etc.) that some governments classify as hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can only be transported at designated times and via select routes. Because solar panels are delicate and bulky, specialized labor is required to detach and remove them to avoid their shattering and polluting local areas.” My electric alternating current does not need Helios for now. Each day he drives a chariot from east to west across the sky, and each night he sails around the northerly stream of Ocean. I’d rather admire the two men working high, high up on transmission lines near my house right now. https://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/stein-breezes-and-sunshine-to-charge-washington-governor-jay-inslees-evs/ During parts of a Latin High Mass, the first priest (celebrant) stands at the altar, the second priest (deacon) stands one or two steps down, and the third priest (subdeacon) stands another one or two steps down. Did you want to know the name of the cloth worn by the subdeacon? Of course, you did.
The cloth is called a humeral veil. “The subdeacon stands behind the deacon while the celebrant sings Dominus vobiscum and Oremus at the offertory. He bows at the word Oremus, then genuflects and goes to the credence table. Here he receives the humeral veil on his shoulders from the M.C. [With the humeral veil he carries the chalice etc. to the altar.] He takes the chalice veil from the chalice; then he holds the chalice at its knob in the left hand bare (not through the humeral veil).…” Now you know. [33] Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
[34] Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me? [35] Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done? [36] Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. [37] Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice. [38] Pilate saith to him: What is truth?

After 20+ years of formal education, which led to filling in as a substitute teacher and tutoring hundreds of students, I can verify similar scenarios or had such stories told to me or witnessed them on television as you have when I still watched television. The schools are there, just do it, and as my mother would say (yell), “Quit your bellyaching!” True story: at around 13, my brother had been warned, yet shot a boy with a BB gun. It was never seen again, and Tom became a lawyer. Mass, November 20, 2022 This is one of the most colorful churches I have ever seen. It is where the Louis XVI Mass is held each year. The side chapel where the three priests begin is a marvel, and the high altar is dressed in red for a martyr. You might not want to watch two hours of live-streaming but take a quick look at the architecture and art. The Epistle and Gospel of the day appear in the chapters at the bottom. Abbe Julien Durodié leads the Latin Mass parish. He was born in Normandy and received his vocation at 17 while on a retreat given by his scout chaplain at Fontgombault (see entry of 10/22/2021 for pictures of the Benedictine monastery). The choir, Schola Sainte Cécile, is well known, and the music is from several sources, which can be viewed in the description on YouTube. Augustin D’Oliveira is a cellist, teacher, and composer and can be found on LinkedIn. From the church’s website – “There was certainly a holy man named Eugene who lived in the 6th century north of Paris, near Deuil-la-Barre where he died as a martyr. Eugene’s name is foreign to Gaul: Eugene is of Greek culture. He is one of those Eastern Christians who came to Gaul in the 6th century when the Byzantine Empire vigorously pushed back the pagans and the Arians.” Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a BS Econ. in 1968. He spoke out recently about Chinese espionage and its mysterious connection to Wharton.
