The Metonic cycle is a period of 19 years (235 lunar months), after which the new and full Moons return to the same days of the year. New Moon to new Moon is one cycle.
It appears as a thin curved shape, but I think of it as the time when we cannot see the Moon. The Metonic cycle was the basis of the ancient Greek calendar and is still used for calculating movable feasts such as Easter. 1711 to 2300 = 589 years 589/19 (the Metonic cycle) = 31 365 days/31 = 11.7741935 (months in a year, not 12)

The Withdrawal of the Decree of Excommunication of the SSPX occurred in 2009.
On the Roman Pontiff, an extract from St. Robert Bellarmine [1542-1621], De Romano Pontifice, lib. II, cap. 30.
“Therefore, the true opinion is the fifth, according to which the Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church; and for this reason he can be judged and punished by the Church. “This is the opinion of all the ancient Fathers, who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction, and outstandingly that of St. Cyprian (lib. 4, epist. 2) who speaks as follows of Novatian, who was Pope in the schism which occurred during the pontificate of St. Cornelius: ‘He would not be able to retain the episcopate, and, if he was made bishop before, he separated himself from the body of those who were, like him, bishops, and from the unity of the Church.’” Three women of history I would listen to:
Catherine of Siena (d. 1380) Joan of Arc, Martyr (d. 1431) Teresa of Avila (d. 1582) Some women religious today have scant intellectual power and a thirst for the political power of the (1) pagan priestess, (2) godless politician-ness, (3) television prophetess, and (4) wishful-thinking COE bishopess. The original song is from Arctic Monkeys, “Do I Wanna Know?” (2013). The poster has a variety of interests, and Latin is surely one of them. The original is about a love affair that turns bad, but he keeps crawling back. The classical pronunciation is first-rate, and the guys taking part in the video amount to hip-hop Latin scholars. I looked up “summat”, which is British for “something”. Repto is I crawl. I remember my brother loved that word estne so much he said it all the time. Estne translated: is it or do you? He heard it in class. I think the way he meant it was, do you understand? He answered no for us. English – part of speech: adjective; origin: Latin; usage: mainly literary; meaning: loud, reverberating, and often melancholic; example: “While the slow, melodious pace of an erhu and the occasional beating of a Chinese drum provided a plangent accompaniment to the sad song, she wept for her distant lover.” Latin – infinitive form: plangere; meaning: to beat (not as in beating a human)
To: the underground Church From: Robert Dunn, layman, USA Dear brethren, Please persevere. We face an uncertain but universal future. I support you and may God bless you. Sincerely, RD Notables: Li Yingshi (ca. 1600) and Xu Guangqi (1562-1633)
Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274), greatest philosopher who ever lived, the man Pope Leo XIII (d. 1903) used all his authority to quicken, says we do not love demons. The modernists seem to think we do.
Here’s the squared total of my apologetics. Got anything better to offer than Monday Night Football; perfect health; a PhD; a pet; a prestigious position; a beer-filled tummy; a flat tummy; a winning lottery ticket; a sand castle; a summer picnic; a flawless, proportional face or body worthy of the Golden Ratio … eternal life. I hear various Catholics on the internet constantly talking about penance, no offense to anyone. I never thought I did any arduous penance. Then a priest gave me a week-long penance. I spent 50 years in the modernist Church. That was penance! Moses only spent 40 years in the desert.
There are no words to describe a teacher who badgers.
I use free stuff on the internet all the time: YouTube, Wikipedia, Quora, Kahn, IXL, NASA, The Poetry Foundation, Britannica, thesaurus.com, wordgenius.com, dictionaries, school websites, and advice from writers, and more, and I download pdf's. No tutored students have to buy anything with one exception: test prep books. Almost every student is told not to use Wikipedia, and no explanations are given by anyone. The stench of arrogance that is in love with itself more than children or young adults is rising. He is an example of what schools turn out these days.  “Don’t riot.” Has the run-of-the mill conservative ever been told not to riot? LMAO the Buccaneer “Bill Gates has made himself the single largest private owner of farmland in the United States.
“The globalist billionaire expanded his holdings of American farmland, accumulating a total of 242,000 acres of the most arable land in America, according to The Daily Caller. “North Dakota’s attorney general is stepping in after Gates’ trust acquired six parcels of land in Pembina County. “Attorney General Drew Wrigley sent a Tuesday letter to the trust, demanding answers on how he intends to use (or hoard) the land he purchased in the state. “North Dakota law restricts the ownership and leasing of farmland to corporations and limited liability companies. In addition, there are certain limitations with regard to trusts. “If Gates’ trust is unable to demonstrate that it’s using the land in accordance with state law, he could face fines of $100,000 unless the trust divests from the land within one year. “Some of Gates’ public remarks suggest a dark motive for his hoarding of American farmland. “Gates has urged developed nations such as the United States to replace real meat with a synthetic laboratory-made replacement. “‘You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time,’ the Microsoft founder argued in an interview with the MIT Technology Review, according to The Western Journal. “Gates’ position as the single largest owner of American farmland puts him in a unique position to potentially harm ranchers and cattlemen. “The billionaire could prevent ranchers from grazing their cows on his extensive property, cutting them off from land they’ve used for decades. “This would significantly increase supply pressures on ranchers, and ultimately raise the price of beef at the supermarkets.” … https://www.christiannewsalerts.com/bill-gates-buys-massive-amount-of-farmland-in-north-dakota-but-the-state-ag-just-stepped-in/ Modernism attacks. “Orate fratres” means “Pray, brothers”. Orate is the imperative form of the verb ōrō, which means to speak or pray, and is, therefore, a command.

Painting of Aldous Huxley (32) Artist: John Collier (1850-1934) Source: The Graphic (British newspaper), May 7, 1927, p. 228. This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. After listening to Aldous Huxley, and knowing that he killed himself, finally deciding that the horrendous suffering caused by advanced laryngeal cancer was too much to bear, I cannot but have sorrow. I do not approve of assisted suicide, but some people judge people who commit suicide. I do not. Instead, I pray for those I love that God Himself will take care of, and reward, them for their efforts. The science fiction novel is 311 pages, approximately 63,500 words. To give some context, Pretty City Murder is 342 pages, approximately 87,500 words. Following is a one-hour, recorded radio drama, narrated by Mr. Huxley. Bernard Herrmann composed the music, and various actors participated. The novel was published in 1932 but is brilliantly and boldly ahead of its time. Aquinas (1225-1274) gave us the word "utopia". Hopkins (1844-1889) graduated in Classics (Latin and Greek). Huxley (1894-1963) graduated in English Literature from the same college as Hopkins. 8 x 12 = 96 and 8 x 11 = 88 (12 and then there were 11 apostles) The nursery sounds an awful lot like an altar. I have desired to go Where springs not fail, To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail And a few lilies blow. And I have asked to be Where no storms come, Where the green swell is in the havens dumb, And out of the swing of the sea. Hopkins b. 1844 London d. 1889 Dublin At death, he said, "I am so happy, I am so happy. I loved my life." He refers to St. Bueno's College and haecceitas, which is haecceity, thisness.
Definition (political) – one who adheres uncompromisingly and dogmatically to an ideology
Ideologues
Facts are discarded if they do not fit the ideology. Leftists are ideologues. Who were the philosophical realists of the past? Plato (mathematical realism), Aristotle, Aquinas, Bonaventure, and Duns Scotus. A 14-year-old Russian American competes with his 52-year-old father. Alexei is 14 and in 11th grade! Here he performs at age 12. Let us get off Earth for a while. The distance of New Horizons from Pluto is 12,500 km, which is approximately 7,750 miles, still far from the surface, but the pictures are wonderful. 30 mins. On June 21, 2022, the US Supreme Court decided Carson v. Makin and overturned a Maine law that created a tuition assistance program to pay for students to attend public or private schools inside or outside of the state to ensure that school-age children receive a free public education. The program excluded sectarian school students (Catholic and other). The law was overturned, and now they are eligible.
Fine. However, this is not the direction Catholics need to go, because it gets us entangled with government. Homeschooling, which is affordable, is a better choice, or we can transform the current Catholic school system, or dump it and create a new one, from kindergarten all the way up to a professional education. What does intercept represent? Answered by Philip Lloyd, Quora contributor, Ex HOD Math at Epsom Girls Grammar, New Zealand. Woolf Fisher Fellow. Specialist Calculus Teacher, Motivator, and Baroque Trumpet Soloist. Mr. Lloyd explains the difference between two words: intersect and intercept.   |
