Pascendi Dominici

4/30/2025

Rome and Great Britain
​Father Hugh Thwaites, SJ, reads Pope Saint Pius X's encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, Feeding the Lord's Flock, issued on September 8, 1907. It addresses the growing movement of Modernism 
within the Church, which Pius and others viewed as the synthesis of all heresies. The listening time is a little over one hour.
Picture
​​Fr. Thwaites died in 2012. He went from Christian Scientist to Anglican to Catholic. This transformation followed his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese in World War II. He never bore resentment, reasoning that the Japanese guards did not have the benefit of the faith. He helped establish Baytree Centre Brixton (1991).

Thwaites, Latin Mass
A member of my parents' generation,
he once said, "Rome cannot feed her children with poison."
Fr. Mario Bergoglio, SJ, was a modernist. So are his defenders and admirers to this day.

Kaindy Lake in southeastern Kazakhstan below the Tien Shan mountains is a 1,300-foot-long lake that appeared in 1911 when an earthquake caused a landslide and produced a natural dam. The new lake filled up with rainfall, submerging a growth of Asian spruce trees and creating a sunken forest. The forest’s bleached and limbless trunks pierce the lake’s surface. The road is not paved.

Headline Feds Launch Discrimination Probe Into Harvard Law Review, Monday, 28 April 2025 08:52 PM EDT, NewsMax

The Trump administration on Monday announced federal officials are launching investigations into Harvard University and the Harvard Law Review, saying authorities have received reports of race-based discrimination “permeating the operations” of the journal.
​
The investigations come as Harvard fights a freeze on $2.2 billion in federal grants the Trump administration imposed after the university refused to comply with demands to limit activism on campus.

At one time I lived in that grayish/tan building across the street.
Welch, which was torn down along with the high school, was the former residence of our high school teaching Jesuits.
What are the masks for?

Collective. Say what?

"A small group of students protested inside the atrium of the Gleeson Library for several hours. Student protesters voluntarily left the Gleeson Library atrium after the San Francisco Police Department arrived to ensure the USF community has safe access to the library. Protesters were given four warnings by university staff before officers arrived. No protesters or students were detained." -USF Eileen Fung/Shannon Gary

USF's motto is Change the World from Here.

new fantasy possible

4/29/2025

Well, today Alexander gave me enough material and some drawings which, when added to what he has already dictated and drawn, ought to be enough for another fantasy story. Now the question is, do I have the desire to do it? We talked about a plotless character study in the style of the American film, Rope, and the Russian film, The Mirror, and it would be set in France and feature the two main characters (American military), a French Benedictine monk, loosely based on a real one, and our crazy kids.

unsuitable for an educ

4/29/2025

0 Comments

 
Many Catholics and non-Catholics are unsuitable candidates for an education. Its primary goal is to teach you how to think for yourself. Too many Catholics let the Church do the thinking, and others let universities and media do the thinking, and advanced degrees do not alter the facts. This seems to be a contradiction, but it isn't. By and large, the system is a brainwash, which is why I favor a school like école Saint-Louis.

Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran, was arrested and acquitted of charges in the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old 'homeless' man with a history of mental illness, in a New York City subway chokehold incident. The incident sparked public debate and protests, with some viewing Daniel as a protector and others as a vigilante.

​Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old boy, was fatally stabbed at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. The stabbing occurred during an altercation in the bleachers. The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, was charged with first-degree murder. Austin was stabbed in the heart and died in the arms of his twin brother.

24 killed in Kashmir

4/28/2025

0 Comments

 
Gunmen killed 24 people and injured a dozen others in the Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir on last Tuesday. Mainstream media will not tell you, but my Hindu source did, all the targets were Hindu men, and the gunmen were Pakistani Muslims.

How did the gunmen know they were Hindu? They were told to drop their pants. Hindus are not circumcised. The Catholic Church allows it for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, and when you read that circumcision is contrary, ask yourself, "Why?"

Luke's account of Jesus' life describes the circumcision on the eighth day. The Jewish high priest circumcised Jesus, plain and simple. Absurd it is to say that it is a violation of bodily integrity, and I can't believe anyone would capitulate.
​
Pakistan is a hotbed of terrorism.


All the businesses (Muslim-owned) in the area, where it snows more than half the year, have been affected. My Hindu friend said that a friend and his wife were staying in a hotel, a curfew was imposed, and the hotel and cab driver did not charge for the inconvenience in the hope he and his wife would return.

Octave (8)

Octave of Easter #6: The Apparition on Lake Tiberias
Low Sunday The Epistle is 1 John 5, 4-10, and the Gospel is John 20, 19-31.
Sensus fidei or Sensus fidelium is Sense of the Faith.
The Baltimore Catechism's sense of faith emphasizes believing in God and all His revelations through the Church and the importance of understanding and practicing the faith in daily life, with a sense of gratitude for the privilege of being a Catholic, and defines faith as a virtue, a gift, and a free act of the will, rooted in God's revelation.
My fortune was great: a sense of the faith arrived at age eight.

  • The Octave is the eighth day by counting both Sundays, Easter Sunday and today. The distance between two notes of the same name (e.g., two C's) is an octave. Octo- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning “eight”. It is used in many scientific and technical terms. Octo- comes from Greek oktṓ, meaning “eight”. The Latin equivalent, which is almost identical in spelling and pronunciation, is octō.
  • When the Roman Senate changed the calendar in 153 BC, the new year started in January, and October became the tenth month. The months of July and August were renamed. July was originally named Quintilis, meaning "fifth", renamed in 44 BC to honor Julius Caesar. August was originally named Sextilis, meaning "sixth", renamed in 8 BC to honor Augustus Caesar.
  • Quintuplets are five children, one birth.
  • Octogenarians are 80-89.

Maduro collusion

4/26/2025

Venezuela
Unclassified portions of an assessment by an unnamed White House official maintain that Tren de Aragua (TdA), classified as a transnational terrorist organization, is carrying out destabilization efforts on Maduro's behalf, and in addition to targeting the United States, TdA members are said to be part of a strategy targeting Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Columbia.

"These findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community. They reflect the sentiments of numerous other intelligence assessments across multiple agencies.


"Nicholas Maduro is a Marxist dictator who hijacked a once-prosperous Venezuela and brought in nothing but total economic collapse and gang takeover," the official said. "He crumbled Caracas, now overrun with drugs and violence, and wants to do the same across the United States by sending his most violent and dangerous criminals into our communities," he or she continued.

"The Trump administration will continue to use every authority in our power to make sure these TdA terrorists, who are some of the worst in the world, are kept out of our country," the anonymous source stressed.


"The Department of Justice filed multiple federal charges against 27 members of the hyperviolent Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang on Monday," Breitbart reports.
