A council held at Rome in 382 under St. Damasus gave a complete list of the canonical books of both the Old Testament and New Testament, which is identical with the list given at the Council of Trent (Italy), the 19th ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, 1545 - 63. Before 382, the manuscripts had not been organized, numbered, and chaptered. Other writings were deemed not inspired: excluded. That is the Canon; that is the Bible; there is no other. Nor is there any other inspired testament of anything at all. The apostolic age ended with Johnny.

It is Holy Trinity in DC, run by the Jesuits, the same church for Pelosi. Though not in a state of grace, they freely TAKE communion. That is not my opinion. Check the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 1868, the canon law on cooperating with sin as applied to abortion. https://canonlaw.ninja/?nums=1868&v=ccc
Alexander, nine, and I had a dispute over a combinations problem. In fact, we were both wrong. I went home and checked my sources.
Combinations There are 91 elements to choose from, and 4 elements are chosen. In English, if you have 91 students and choose four at a time, how many combinations are there? Calculation: Formula n!/k!(n−k)! Two examples of a factorial: 91! = 91x90x89x88… (and so on) 4! = 4x3x2x1 Where n = 91 and k = 4 C₄(91) = (91/4) = (91!/4!(91−4)! = 91x90x89x88/4x3x2x1 = 2672670 The number of combinations is 2,672,670.

She cackled, too, when asked about Trump’s indictment. She is laughing at US. Hillary Clinton earned more than $5 million in royalties for her 2014 memoir, “Hard Choices.” -The New York Times. The Clintons earned more than $30 million in speaking and royalty fees in the 16 months from January 2014 to May 16, 2015 -pbs.org. The proof is in Federal Elections Commission reports the Clintons filed.
About the questioning, you and I would know exactly which staff members were contacted on one important evening. This appointee does not want to give any specifics to an elected representative of the people. The same thing is happening over and over when Congress questions Biden appointees. On a personal note, my conscience would not let me accept a boy who was unsuitable for tutoring, which was a loss of $320/month. Some people would have taken his father’s money anyway. My only reason for mentioning it is to raise the question whether either Clinton owns a conscience. The Spanish understand Jesus and Mary. Here they are brought face to face. Jesus is dressed in a beautiful but simple white robe and hands are tied. His mother is dressed in every adornment possible. That is the way He sees her, and those are rose petals on the canopy and her embroidered robe. The Hispanic character in my novel (gave him a lot of text time) cries out to Jesus once, and once to his own mother, as implied by the police inspector on the Bridge. Kevin Martin, experienced SFPD, helped write what ensued. The men carrying Him look up to Him so woefully. Eyewitness News at 6
Explosive, developing news. Location: urban high school SCIF. Subject: secretly recorded and recently released phone call between 15-year-old student and 40-year-old teacher. Transcript: names redacted. Student: Is Biden too old to be president? Teacher: No. He’s just too old to be on camera. Student: So’s my dad. He just turned 40. Teacher: You haven’t told him you changed your name from Stephen to Tracy? Student: No. You took me out to lunch on Saturday and told me not to. Teacher: Good. We don’t want him to know. Student: What if he finds out? Teacher: Lie. Lie. Lie. High Schoolers/STEM: I recommend mechanical engineering for the many options. To green terrorists: I hope you lose your pants in one of these gas-powered machines.

Levi Strauss & Co was founded in 1853 in San Francisco and is still headquartered there. Jennifer, mother of four, started working for Levi in 1999 and was next in line to become CEO when she was fired in 2022. She was fired because she spoke out against school closures during COVID-19. The Burisma guy is Zlochevsky, Ukrainian oil and natural gas businessman.
He was Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources July 2010 to April 2012, and deputy secretary for Economic and Social Security of the National Security and Defense Council April 2012 to February 2014. He is wanted by Ukrainian authorities for attempting to bribe prosecutors to drop all charges against him, and he is the one who has 17 recordings. Shokin was Prosecutor General of Ukraine from 2015-2016 when Joe Biden was vice president. Shokin was investigating Burisma. The story is that Burisma would pay the Biden’s $10 million to kill an investigation into the company. “The form FD-1023 includes details of a criminal ‘pay-for-play’ bribery scheme between President Biden and a foreign national that influenced United States policy decisions.” https://dailyconservative.com/both-joe-and-hunter-biden-received-5m-in-bribery-scheme/ George Soros
Emperor Palpatine, Darth Sidious Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, he was also Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor – and ruled the galaxy through fear and tyranny. The galaxy rejoiced when he died at the Battle of Endor, but Sidious had cheated death and patiently plotted a return to power. (description of Palpatine provided by starwars.com/databank) The root of the English word “nascent” (adjective meaning come into existence and beginning to develop) is the same root for “Renaissance” (noun meaning rebirth). The root is nascens, the present participle of the Latin verb nasci, which means “to be born.” Related words are nation, native, nature, and innate.
Roots sink deeper. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, translated as, “Birth of the Invincible Sun,” celebrated the birth of the Sun in Imperium Romanum prior to the coming of Catholicism, and with its coming, the celebration neatly switched to “Birth of the Invincible Son.” The word itself, natalis, meaning “of the birth,” changed over time as Latin split into different languages. Latin is Nativitatis, Spanish is Natividad, and English is Nativity. Christus natus est is the Christmas refrain. Christmas is an English contraction of “Christ and Mass.” Corruption Triumvirate Biden Obrador Trudeau photo courtesy of indianexpress.com drawing courtesy of libraryforkids.com
I replaced another video with this one because of the enthusiasm.
In the other video, the first float was the Last Supper, and the second float was the BVM. For that video I explained costumes. Men in hatted costumes are called Nazarenos or penitentes – the penitent ones. They are members of various brotherhoods and dress in capirote, which is a Catholic, cone-shaped, pointed hat from the Spanish Inquisition (start 1478). Catholicism is a symbol-rich religion that activates all five senses. Where is the king of Spain? https://south.tours/magazine/semana-santa-in-malaga-facts-costumes-and-traditions/ “BRYAN HOUGHTON (1911–1992), of Anglican background, was received into the Catholic Church in Paris in 1934 and ordained a priest on March 30, 1940. “Throughout the 1960s he found himself increasingly at odds with the self-styled ‘reformers’ who, in the name of Vatican II, were wreaking havoc in the Church. On the day the Novus Ordo Missae went into effect—November 30, 1969, the first Sunday of Advent—he resigned from his pastorship at Bury St Edmunds, refusing to celebrate with the new missal. “Drawing on his inheritance, he purchased a property with a chapel in the region of Viviers in the south of France and, with his bishop’s consent, continued to offer the Tridentine Mass for a small congregation until his death on November 19, 1992. “He wrote two novels, Mitre and Crook and Judith’s Marriage, a collection of essays, Unwanted Priest, and a children’s book, Saint Edmund, King and Martyr.” https://angelicopress.org/unwanted-priest-bryan-houghton Fifty-seven others agreed, but none priests until Lefebvre squawked. https://www.ncregister.com/features/the-mystery-of-the-agatha-christie-indult For the complete list of signatories, see blog post Agatha Christie Indult of 3/21/2023.
The White Man’s Burden
Take up the White Man’s burden - Send forth the best ye breed - Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives’ need; To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild - Your new-caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child. Take up the White Man’s burden - In patience to abide To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain, To seek another’s profit, And work another’s gain. Take up the White Man’s burden - The savage wars of peace - Fill full the mouth of famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch Sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. Take up the White Man’s burden - No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper - The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead ! Take up the White Man’s burden - And reap his old reward, The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard - The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah slowly !) towards the light:- “Why brought ye us from bondage, “Our loved Egyptian night ?” Take up the White Man's burden - Ye dare not stoop to less - Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness; By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent sullen peoples Shall weigh your Gods and you. Take up the White Man’s burden - Have done with childish days - The lightly proffered laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years, Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgement of your peers. 1899 United States and Philippines I placed this poem in my blog because it will upset many, people who are stopped by the title and will not discover what is happening within. I placed this poem in my blog because it is “based” as the term is understood today. He is that man, any man, who is unafraid of what others say. I placed this poem in my blog because Kipling is a great poet and storyteller. I first encountered him in high school come way of Kim. In the speech, he refers to Kimba, his character in The Jungle Book. Kipling felt like an outsider in the United States and went back to England. Polymath Luke Ranieri has many Patreon supporters, and his source list is long. In this video Luke explains the development of the two pronunciation systems, and most surprising is what he says about collaborators Alcuin of York and Charlemagne. If I read Latin out loud, it will have an American accent. I like that sound, of course.
I stood on the bridge at midnight,
As the clocks were striking the hour, And the moon rose o'er the city, Behind the dark church-tower. I saw her bright reflection In the waters under me, Like a golden goblet falling And sinking into the sea. And far in the hazy distance Of that lovely night in June, The blaze of the flaming furnace Gleamed redder than the moon. Among the long, black rafters The wavering shadows lay, And the current that came from the ocean Seemed to lift and bear them away; As, sweeping and eddying through them, Rose the belated tide, And, streaming into the moonlight, The seaweed floated wide. And like those waters rushing Among the wooden piers, A flood of thoughts came o’er me That filled my eyes with tears. How often, O, how often, In the days that had gone by, I had stood on that bridge at midnight And gazed on that wave and sky! How often, O, how often, I had wished that the ebbing tide Would bear me away on its bosom O’er the ocean wild and wide! For my heart was hot and restless, And my life was full of care, And the burden laid upon me Seemed greater than I could bear. But now it has fallen from me, It is buried in the sea; And only the sorrow of others Throws its shadow over me. Yet whenever I cross the river On its bridge with wooden piers, Like the odor of brine from the ocean Comes the thought of other years. And I think how many thousands Of care-encumbered men, Each bearing his burden of sorrow, Have crossed the bridge since then. I see the long procession Still passing to and fro, The young heart hot and restless, And the old subdued and slow! And forever and forever, As long as the river flows, As long as the heart has passions, As long as life has woes; The moon and its broken reflection And its shadows shall appear, As the symbol of love in heaven, And its wavering image here. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1845 The word “based” is slang and will wind up in dictionaries, but don’t go looking in any online dictionaries, because you will get biased based, except for Urban Dictionary, which at least identifies who is saying what. Even dictionaries can be bent by editors to favor one side over another. According to Urban Dictionary, it is “a word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e., courageous and unique or not caring what others think.” Considered an adjective, “based” is synonymous with “red-pilled” and an antonym of “cringe” and “woke”. Some organizations and some people, left or right, have no sense of what young people are thinking and no sense of play. Duds lose my attention. based

He is the man who helps a man lying by the side of the road. 30 And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

Lesson-plan apology accepted...from a five-star pedagogue undeterred in 2023! Combining her careers as a dancer and teacher, I think she beats my sister who taught for 50 years.
Lesson 106 Feeling like an outsider? Welcome to my blog. I have outlasted Alexander’s other tutors not because I am a genius, but because he and I are outsiders, generally unwelcome. “How come?” you whine. We will not give our mental consent to bullies, jocks, and idiots. To insiders fitting the description, walking among ‘traditional’ Catholics and crawling about on YouTube, consider how you stack up against the Son of Man. Pushing them aside, or trying to, alternately I feel proud and down, for the sharp cuts, so if you are the same, welcome. speculum
