Root: derived from the Latin verb cavillari, to raise silly objections. Usage: “Tradition-minded Catholics, let us not cavil with each other.”

“Although the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity is a supernatural mystery-a truth which we cannot discover by reason nor understand in the present life-we believe it because it has been made known to us by God who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
“Even in natural things there are many mysteries which we accept on the testimony of our fellowmen. We believe what the astronomers tell us about the stars and the planets, although we cannot prove these truths ourselves. Not even the most learned scientist understands fully the nature of the force we call electricity; yet we all know that there is such a force and we unhesitatingly accept the information that scientists give us about it. “How much more willing should we be to believe the marvelous truth which God Himself has made known to us-that He is one in nature and three in Persons-even though we cannot perceive this truth by our own reason nor understand how each divine Person can be identical with the divine nature, yet really distinct from the other two Persons!” Baltimore Catechism https://www.drbo.org/cat/htm/02003.htm#:~:text=there%20in%20God%3F-,A.,we%20cannot%20understand%20it%20fully. Someone commented that the Baltimore Catechism is not valid anymore. Is it logical for a catechism to suddenly lose validity simply because another comes along? I’m not an armchair theologian. I quote the Bible, Catechism, popes, and saints. When I make a comment, it is usually an emotional reaction. Some devalue emotions, but without art, literature, music, film, and the Bible, the world would be a sorry place. What do you think the confession box is for? Joyful moments? Caravaggio (1571–1610)

We save the palm leaf all year and return it to be burned, and that is where the ashes come from for the forehead. People laid palms to cover Jesus's path as he arrived in Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), just days before he was crucified (Good Friday). Because the palms have been blessed by a priest, instead of throwing them out, they are saved until the next year to create ashes for Ash Wednesday. Sacramentals like the blessed palm leaf must either be buried or returned to be burned. Catholic priests started putting ashes on foreheads every Ash Wednesday at least as early as the 8th century, when the practice can be found in the Gregorian Sacramentary (a book with directives for the liturgy). That’s simply the earliest recorded date for doing so—it’s likely a much earlier tradition. Fr. Curtis, FSSP, said that only the catechumens received ashes in the beginning, but already-baptized Catholics liked the practice and petitioned the hierarchy. One side of the church had a perfect cross on the forehead. Fr. Schwab, FSSP, has a talent for dusting. When the priest marks the sign of the cross on your forehead, he says... Latin root for pulverize is pulvis, dust.

The summary comes from Wikipedia, a resource I use because the entry on the Catholic Church is accurate and because entries go through a reviewing and editing process. If anyone has a better resource that is not too complicated, please provide a link. “The earliest surviving account of the celebration of the Eucharist or Mass in Rome is that of Saint Justin Martyr (died c. 165), in chapter 67 of his First Apology: … “The descriptions of the Mass liturgy in Rome by Hippolytus (died c. 235) and Novatian (died c. 250) are similar to Justin’s. … “It is unclear when the language of the celebration changed from Greek to Latin. Pope Victor I [pontiff 189-199, saint] may have been the first to use Latin in the liturgy in Rome. Others think Latin was finally adopted nearly a century later. The change was probably gradual, with both languages being used for a while. … “The Roman Missal that Pope Pius V issued at the request of the Council of Trent (1545-1563) gradually established uniformity within the Western Church after a period that had witnessed regional variations in the choice of Epistles, Gospels, and prayers at the Offertory, the Communion, and the beginning and end of Mass. “With the exception of a few dioceses and religious orders, the use of this Missal was made obligatory, giving rise to the 400-year period when the Roman-Rite Mass took the form now known as the Tridentine Mass.” We use the 1962 edition of the Missal. Its 1,850 pages are so good, so comprehensive, so eloquent that they are all I need for daily living. For example, the Morning Prayer contains references to Proverbs, Psalms, Lamentations, and Isaiah. The Mass itself is printed in Latin and the vernacular on each page. The 1962 was the last printing before certain men claimed that the spirit of Vatican II entitled them to start removing, rewording, reinventing, and retranslating every part of the Mass. See https://www.robertedunn.com/mass-of-the-ages.html. If possible, leave the New Order church, which is on a downward slope. Recommendations: FSSP, SSPX, ICKSP. There are a few other traditional religious orders. Do a search. Beginning in 2020, my church of St. Stephen the First Martyr in Sacramento doubled. We have 1,500 registered members and 104 altar boys, and this tremendous growth is the trend in America. I meet two to five new people every Sunday at 6. One of my ranching friends drives 130 miles one-way to get to Mass. Third Commandment. Memento mori (long version) Look behind. Remember thou art mortal. Remember you must die. Mass at 6pm yesterday, Ash Wednesday, entirely sung by priest and choir, was the third Mass of the day and so crowded that the parish hall next door had to be used. Confession started at 5:30 and extended to the end. We have 100% attendance at Sunday Mass. University of Illinois – Urban Champaign
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Spurlock Museum of World Cultures “Our fragments date to the 1st–7th centuries and represent almost all the types of documents found at Oxyrhynchus [Egypt]. They include fragments of significant literary texts from Euripides and Thucydides, and most importantly, the earliest surviving fragment of … the Letter of James [Epistle]. “There are also legal documents (sales records, list of tax delinquents, a widow’s plea to a judge to reconsider a case, a will, etc.) and personal letters. Other interesting documents are a wedding invitation that translates to ‘Eros invites you to a wedding tomorrow the 29th at the 9th hour’ and a mummy foot tag.” Reference 2/11/2024 Oxyrhynchus https://altusfineart.com/collections/adam-abram

The great Armand Jean du Plessis, 1st Duke of Richelieu, known as Cardinal Richelieu (l’Éminence rouge, or “the Red Eminence”), was a French statesman and prelate of the Catholic Church. I knew he was admirable when writing a long essay about him in college. This piece by historian Will Durrant is not boring textbook history. Durrant graduated from Saint Peter's College (BA, 1907) and Columbia University (PhD, 1917). Antipope Francis has no Richelieu skills.

Does global warming explain the president's frequent slowing, sliding, and slipping? Allegedly, melting land ice (glaciers) is causing oceans to rise.
Glaciers have been present somewhere on Earth for at least 60 million years, a period stretching back almost to the time of the dinosaurs. That's the key finding of our new research, which pushes the date when the planet was last glacier-free back by at least 26 million years. - theconversation.com Somehow, Earth's inhabitants have survived.

Scientists in Australia have recorded a sighting of a unique-looking marine mammal—and its name lives up to its appearance. Speckles, a bottlenose dolphin spotted in Queensland’s Hervey Bay in September 2022, has a rare skin condition called piebaldism, defined by patchy coloration (or “speckles”). “Piebaldism is similar to albinism and leucism, where the animals typically have white skin, feathers or fur, whereas piebaldism is a partial-loss of pigmentation so the individuals show this patchy colouration,” Alexis Levengood, who co-authored a recent study on Speckles, said in a press release that described the animal as “one of the world’s most unusually colored dolphins.” Freckles.

League policy states that while the NFL will cover production costs — some of which can be quite substantial, as Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s 2020 performance reportedly cost around $13 million to produce — the headliners themselves do not receive any compensation. That’s not to say they don’t benefit financially, though. In 2018, Justin Timberlake saw his music sales rise 534% on the day of his halftime show, and the year prior, Lady Gaga’s digital sales spiked 1,000%.

Moral teachings come from the Catholic Church and cannot be transmitted in a 60-second commercial and 15-second follow-up. Rating: zero stars Back in 2012, Cardinal Wuerl removed Father Marcel Guarnizzo, a priest on loan from the Moscow Archdiocese to the Washington Archdiocese, because the priest denied communion to a woman who told him that she was a Buddhist and in a same-sex relationship with another. A person living in mortal sin may not receive. Everyone knows that, and the priest was correct in refusing to give her communion. Wuerl denied removing him. He said instead that his assignment had ended. This cardinal protected McCarrick, was a liar on sex abuse cases, and got replaced by Francis in May 2019 by a man totally against the Latin Mass, Wilton Gregory. In 2020, Wuerl received $2 million for "continuing ministry activities." corruption, favoritism, modernism McCarrick, Bush and Bush, Papal Nuncio Pietro Sambi, Wuerl The Oxyrhynchus hymn (or P. Oxy. XV 1786) is the earliest known manuscript of a Catholic hymn in Ancient Greek to contain both lyrics and musical notation. From the Latin oxyrhynchus, from the Ancient Greek ὀξῠ́ρρῠγχος, the Latinized version oxúrrhunkhos, the word is a kind of Egyptian fish. The fish is a Catholic symbol and is based on the first letters of the Greek words for Jesus Christ. The Greek word for fish is Ichthus, which is also an acronym for Jesus. The Greek, Iesous CHristos THeou Uios Soter, translates in English to, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. To a trained ear, the sound resembles Gregorian Chant because it is somewhat lyrical, and was, perhaps, a precursor. All was stricken from the New Mass, and in its place, “May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.” I want certainty, and I do not see that happening in the new Mass, that is, the priest does not forgive me of my venial sins.
Receiving communion does, but not all receive. I spend hours debating with myself what words to say in conversation or in writing, and how much more care does God give to His. The rewrite by Bugnini is purposely imprecise. Reject it. |
