The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved allowing women's volleyball players to contact the ball more than once with any part of the body in a single attempt on a team's second contact when the ball is played to a teammate. Confused? I was, so I asked a former student's mom to explain. When you contact the ball with your finger tips using both hands, both hands need to come in contact at the same time. If one hand (fingers) touches the ball first, before the other one, even for a split second, the ball spins in a way it wouldn't if it were a single contact. Like in basketball, once you pick up your dribble, you cannot dribble again and must pass the ball to a teammate. That rule was overturned, but it did not apply to a double contact on a block.

Not Vatican and not one royal family know how to govern like kings. The whole lot of them are spoiled leadership fails and completely irrelevant, unable to inspire loyalty because they have none. When you are in trouble, you close ranks and cut off those who are hurting the family. There is no other choice. There is no common man. He wants to be caught up in a glorious cause. That’s the whole point of school. Cut the pope out for treason! The Fall of the Rebel Angels
1562 Pieter Bruegel the Elder Concerto in C for Seven Trumpets 1770 Johann Ernst Altenburg, taught by his father to trumpet Did He wear a loin cloth on the cross? The answer is complex. As is typical for me, I scanned a very long explanation. It comes from Catholic Answers, and the question is looked at from an artistic point of view. I excerpted what seemed to be most relevant. I numbered the direct quotes, which appeared sequentially in the research, to make them easier to read. Very slight editing was done to fix spelling.
The author is Herbert Thurston. “Catholic Answers is pleased to provide this unabridged entry from the original Catholic Encyclopedia, published between 1907 and 1912. It is a valuable resource for subjects related to theology, philosophy, history, culture, and more.

The monks let him do anatomical studies of the corpses from the church’s attached hospital. As a thank you, Michelangelo carved this crucifix for their high altar around 1492.” … “Specialists and art historians are still in disagreement as to its authenticity.” Who controls the British crown?

Co-written by John Swartzwelder, writer for SNL and The simpsons and of detective novels, he is described as a libertarian conservative, gun-rights advocate, and recluse. Others like labeling.

Excerpted from Wikipedia- … briefly worked as Francis Bacon’s amanuensis, translating several of his Essays into Latin, he did not extend his efforts into philosophy until after 1629.

Discover the reasons for the Legion's success today and learn about their patron saints. Not interested in an establishment of religion, though in the broadest sense, an alignment of governance with Catholicism would be excellent. (There is only one caravan to Heaven.) Nevertheless, I am interested sure as hell in the free exercise thereof (St. Thomas More). All the narrator says applies to Catholic altar boys (7-18). Introduce girls, and boys leave. We have 104, one out of every 15 parishioners. Thank you very much. My sense of the present is that the average American does have the inner strength to resist oppression by a totalitarian state.
Latin root of the verb infinitive to humiliate: humiliare, to make low or humble Latin root of the verb infinitive to humble: humiliare, to make low or humble Conventional wisdom and the dictionary agree that “humiliate” and “humble” are different, but that is not so for a Catholic. I used to think that the Resurrection was the greatest event in history. Now I think the Incarnation was. He who made me, joined me, and had all the emotions I have, not some, all. At the Crucifixion, out of the thousands of people who acclaimed Him, three people stood and watched Him die. What mother would not do that for her son? So, really, there were only two, John and Mary Magdalen. If you tell me that Christ did not feel humiliated and humbled, in short, inadequate, I’d say you were wrong. His Incarnation humiliates and humbles me. Why any person is not overwhelmed by desire for the humiliated and humbled One, I cannot answer. Why’s only get a person closer to death. Aphrodite of Menophantos
Venus pudica is the best-known copy type of the Venus of Cnidus and bears the signature of the sculptor Menophantos: “work by Menophantos, after the Aphrodite in the Troad”. The marble sculpture is Greek art from the 1st century BC, found at a Catholic monastery and now at the National Roman Museum. Look at her, goddess of the humiliated and humbled. Time spent at Mass or with Alexander (10) or Josh (32) stirs the cauldron of emotions. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Be careful about blaming the devil for anything: faults are internal. Yes, I pray the St. Michael prayer at every Mass, but I give it no further thought, and you will find few words on the devil in the blog, nor will you find much on prophecy or predictions. If you need an exorcism, go to a Catholic priest. That’s all I have to say. The lines are known by almost everyone, but few recognize Shakespeare’s recusancy in Julius Caesar. Good writers disguise their thoughts. Marcus Junius Brutus, born c. 85 BC, died 42 BC, COD suicide, murdered Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. (Oremus Let us pray, related word oration)

The monk holds himself up with a hand on Mark’s right arm and stands at his right hand. Who is at God’s right hand? During summer, students tend to forget math and English lessons from the school year that just ended. A list of novels for summer is great, but math teachers are remiss for not assigning math problems. As an example, I would assign one Algebra I problem in the following areas for each week of summer:

“St. Philip Neri, the most laughable and laughed at saint in Saintdom...
“Neri often visited the Catacombs to pray and meditate, and it was there in the month of May or June 1544 that he was mysteriously thrown to the floor and a ball of fire ‘entered his mouth and lodged in his chest.’ “Soon recovering from the shock, he put his hand to his left side and found a swelling as large as his fist. St. Philip Neri was a mystic even before this, but at this time in his life his mystical experiences reached a climax and left the visible mark he carried to his grave. “... a heart so inflamed with the love of God that it forced two ribs into an arch over his heart to give the appearance of a tumor. “Doctors learned this only at an autopsy on the day of his death. ‘...[T]here has never been more than one case of a heart so inflamed with the love of God as to break the ribs of the encasing body.’” By Philip C. Fenton, S.J., excerpted from an article published in the May 1958 issue of Extension magazine Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney, the most lethal sniper in the history of the United States Marine Corps, has passed away. [age 75] Prior to his record's revelation in a book, he went nearly two decades without merit for his kill total. EKIA/EWIA 103

The groups outlined by The Blaze (Blaze Media) have provided illegal immigrants with comprehensive assistance and even written instructions to enter the United States through the porous U.S.-Mexico border.
But for one, all the organizations are foreign. The United States allows the UN to be in NYC. We could kick them out any day.
Is interference with our internal affairs a violation of international law? Please cease your contributions to these groups. They might be involved in an illegal enterprise. The American Red Cross taught me how to swim, how to lifeguard about one mile east of the Golden Gate Bridge, first aid, and CPR. Now the Red Cross is politicized. All is held in common: no one is enriched by what is here. The little boy benefits from seeing examples of humble, celibate men, and his education about the world outside, beyond his parents, begins here. A generation ranges from 20 to 30 years. If the chosen average is 25 years, there have been 81 generations of Catholics: 2024/25 ≈ 81.
What he [Muntefering] says is the most normal thing in the world. Everyone believes in something; no one believes in everything. For example, I do not believe, biologically, in the virgin birth — that’s just nonsense. But the virgin birth as a mythology, a narration meant to highlight something special, that’s something you will find in all religions.
And I would like to tell him, also, that the fundamental principle is that if you want a good man to do something evil, lead him to religion. Religion is the most dangerous thing there is in the world. All you have to do is watch the news, and you’ll see what religion is capable of: to incite wars, and so on and so forth. That is, one has to pick and choose. … (Rev. Franz Meurer in interview with Frank Überall, KiVVON, posted on Feb. 14, 2024; our translation.) He is still a priest (70ish) in Cologne, Germany. His superior, Cardinal Rainer Woelki, has taken no action. What good has come out of Germany in a hundred years? San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller suppresses retreat house Sanctus Ranch. Included are canceled priests and Lumen Christi Academy. A bogus reason is given by a suppressor of the Latin Mass and traditional forms of the sacraments. Photo of him with Dan and Jennifer Sevigny, owners of Sanctus Ranch. Gustavo turns on them, and he cancels the Latin Mass in his cathedral. That stone-cold Mason leads a dwindling cohort, and like the papal suppressor, fears 13.8 million of us, ready to preserve, protect, and defend. Get out!
“After moving to Germany with George Henry Lewes in 1854, Evans wrote to a friend explaining her views on the relationship: ‘Light and easily broken ties are what I neither desire theoretically nor could live for practically. Women who are satisfied with such ties do not act as I have done — they obtain what they desire and are still invited to dinner.’” -George Eliot, pen name for Mary Ann Evans, author of The Mill on the Floss, 1863, an excellent novel that has been dramatized many times. Sounds like Fani Willis. She is still invited to dinner, but she is no novelist, no giant. thriftbooks.com part 2, sad and beautiful, best movie on brother-sister loyalty
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
