As a traffic boy, I ogled lots of cars, and the first time I saw this one, its long, classical line captured my attention. A button folds the white top into the trunk.

Before the Common Era. Now we have an example of the Vatican using BCE in place of BC (Before Christ) when citing sources in English-translated Vatican documents. Try to explain that to a child. He or she will ask, "What is the Common Era?"

Tennessee Williams 1911-1983 The Pulitzer-winning playwright of A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Glass Menagerie was raised Episcopalian, but was influenced by his brother, who had become a Catholic in 1969. The Jesuit who handled the pre-baptismal confession [of Tennessee] called it “the shortest confession in history”.... catholicherald.co.uk/100-catholic-writers-artists-1921-2021/  While two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are stranded on the International Space Station, NASA focuses on skin color, gender, sexual groups, and disabilities. Science isn't fiction, and 2024 isn't 2024. It's 1984.
The West Coast's first human composting facility offers a green, gentle return to nature. This business says it offers an alternative to the traditional burial. You are composted. Science isn't fiction: 2024 isn't 2024: it's 1984.  Cather's story was published in 1900, two weeks after Crane's death. They met at the offices of the Nebraska State Journal after it had published The Red Badge of Courage. He was just two years older than Cather and died from TB.
Two towns in Nevada I love are Elko and Ely. I can't explain it. From out of these remote places came American mothers and their WWII sons and daughters. Grandma Louise's father was a gold assayer at Johnsville in Northern California. They came from Tombstone, circa 1898. See 1800s.

frmarkdwhite.wordpress.com/2022/03/23/seminarians-suffer-and-the-pope-does-not-care/ God performs miracles that saints request. In 2018, Francis disgraced the saints of China when he signed a secret deal with communist China.
Anna was a Latin Mass Catholic...there was nothing else. All but two of 10,000 recognized saints attended this 2,000-year-old form of worship. If you object to Latin, are you saying, "My language is better"? Or, are you resistant to learning? Your language isn't sacred.  The archbishop of Panama City, Panama, invited all to an event called “Afternoon of Open Temples” on the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which occurs every year on August 15. He encouraged Catholics to participate in activities in places that teach beliefs contrary to the Church’s teachings. On that day he slipped into the dirty canal waters of indifferentism and sank, and the mask didn't prevent him from sucking up. In August 1832 Pope Gregory XVI issued an encyclical titled, Mirari vos, “That you wonder”, subtitled “On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism.” He defined the term as the opinion that one religion is as good as another. He condemned it and stated that it was a state’s duty to curtail false, immoral doctrines, and he denounced the freedom to publish indiscriminately. Mendieta published the Open Temples invitation. He won't need a change of clothes for the coffin, because where he's going, socks burn. Allahu Akbar!
When is the last time this incurable Francis has visited a Latin Mass church? Cancelled Bishop Strickland says 1) the betrayal of Christ today is on the level of Judas's betrayal of Christ, and 2) the Vatican suppressed the Third (and Final) Secret of Fatima, warning that apostacy would transpire after 1960 from the top. Fatima is certified truth and no joke.
in four languages honoring the greatest of His creatures Latin Vulgate Bible, St. Luke Chapter 1 46-55 www.drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=lvb&bk=49&ch=1&l=46#x St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin between 383 and 404. The New Testament was originally in Greek, and he was working with that, and as he went on, he corrected the Old Testament against the Hebrew original. These three languages are nailed to the cross and are sacred. One thing you can say about Latin is that the language is more tactile than English. As Andy Math says, "How exciting." See the word sēmeni. The Latin word, sēmen, means seed and is the root of the English word, semen. Because Latin does not change, there can be no taboo words, as there are in English. We must carefully choose our words when speaking publicly, and so the word is translated as children. In a way, Latin is frozen. Freezing food is a way to preserve it, making this language perfect for the ageless Eucharist. Do I like parsing my spoken language? At my desk, but not in the street. Gallup

2267. Recourse to the death penalty on the part of legitimate authority, following a fair trial, was long considered an appropriate response to the gravity of certain crimes and an acceptable, albeit extreme, means of safeguarding the common good. Today, however, there is an increasing awareness that the dignity of the person is not lost even after the commission of very serious crimes. In addition, a new understanding has emerged of the significance of penal sanctions imposed by the state. Lastly, more effective systems of detention have been developed, which ensure the due protection of citizens but, at the same time, do not definitively deprive the guilty of the possibility of redemption. Consequently, the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”, and she works with determination for its abolition worldwide. Redemption can come at any time when the condemned confesses to a priest. Does Francis not believe in the salvific grace of absolution? What is the new understanding? Who is behind the change? In his 2020 encyclical Fratelli Tutti, Francis said that war is a "false solution" to problems in the world. He said, “War can easily be chosen by invoking all sorts of allegedly humanitarian, defensive, or precautionary excuses, and even resorting to the manipulation of information. In recent decades, every single war has been ostensibly ‘justified’” (FT 258). St. Augustine discussed the Just War. Francis wipes him off the map.  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ingres_coronation_charles_vii.jpg
Saint painted 1854 Title: Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII Artist: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) Collection: Louvre, Department of Paintings, Denon, 1st floor, room 77 AI and amateurs offer mere opinions on Francis.
AI and amateurs are not canon lawyers and/or Catholic priests. Whenever answering a social media question, especially on faith and morals, my obligation is to go the original sources. If I fail to do so, I could mislead someone. The present situation is tricky. Priests in Latin Mass orders, such as the SSPX and FSSP, teach and preach the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but there are others who do not and must be checked against the Catechism. Throughout my blog I have cited the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism, and Latin Mass priests, with emphasis on those who are eyewitnesses, exorcists, bishops, popes, and/or saints. Though a few saints accepted the New Mass of 1969, all others adhered to tradition. Sometimes I rely on my own knowledge and experience, but that is to be taken as such. I do not quote non-Catholics. While they might say something interesting, they have no credentials and are Francis amateurs. For fear of being assassinated by the Vatican, Archbishop Vigano lives in an undisclosed location. There are many in the secular and religious media who say he is a crazy man. Stack them up against Vigano in his own words. ATTENDITE A FALSIS PROPHETIS Announcement regarding the start of the extrajudicial criminal trial for schism (Art. 2 SST; can. 1364 CIC) [signed] + Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop June 20, 2024 S.cti Silverii Papæ et Martyris B.ti Dermitii O’Hurley, Episcopi et Martyris Excerpt from Vigano’s statement: “I repudiate the neomodernist errors inherent in the Second Vatican Council and in the so-called ‘post-conciliar magisterium,’ in particular in matters of collegiality, ecumenism, religious freedom, the secularity of the State, and the liturgy. “I repudiate, reject, and condemn the scandals, errors, and heresies of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who manifests an absolutely tyrannical management of power, exercised against the purpose that legitimizes Authority in the Church: an authority that is vicarious of that of Christ, and as such must obey Him alone. This separation of the Papacy from its legitimizing principle, which is Christ the High Priest, transforms the ministerium into a self-referential tyranny. “No Catholic worthy of the name can be in communion with this ‘Bergoglian church,’ because it acts in clear discontinuity and rupture with all the Popes of history and with the Church of Christ.” https://exsurgedomineusa.org/attendite-a-falsis-prophetis/ Thus, Vigano and St. Thomas Aquinas lead me to some conclusions:
Tomorrow is the 14th Sunday after Pentecost.
 My mother voted for Dewey's mustache.
The Wikipedia summary of Thomas Dewey is entertaining. Dewey grew his mustache when he was dating Frances, and because "she liked it, the mustache stayed, to delight cartoonists and dismay political advisers for 20 years." During the 1944 election campaign, Dewey suffered an unexpected blow when Alice Roosevelt Longworth was reported as having mocked Dewey as "the little man on the wedding cake", alluding to his neat mustache and dapper dress. It was ridicule he could never shake. Dewey alienated former Republican president Herbert Hoover, who confided to a friend "Dewey has no inner reservoir of knowledge on which to draw for his thinking," elaborating that "A man couldn't wear a mustache like that without having it affect his mind." The film was shot in Hollywood and made to resemble San Francisco, but that is the old Mission Police station. I frequented Central on Vallejo.
At the time of filming, my uncle, Sgt. John D. Leahy, Chinatown Squad, worked opium dens hidden behind store fronts and gangs and gambling. I walked into a restaurant with John one time, and all the waiters recognized him instantly. Yeah, yeah, so cops punched up the bad guys, but today we are left with a failing system. John told me he shot at several bad guys and missed. Another time I walked into a restaurant with a Vietnamese friend, and he pointed out the Chinatown gang leader, and another friend of mine never stepped outside of Chinatown for the first 19 years of his life. The announcer mispronounced Greenwich. It's green-witch. On Feb. 19, 2022, it was announced that the Sir Francis Drake Hotel on Powell would be renamed the Beacon Grand because of Drake's involvement in the slave trade, one more example of asinine groupthink. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves: [Matthew 21:12] And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. [John 2:14] And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. [John 2:15] All of them, but not the SSPX, are afraid to lose their benefices at the hands of the Chief Pharisee in Rome.  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tizian_109.jpg
Title: Girolamo and Cardinal Marco Corner Investing Marco, Abbot of Carrara, with His Benefice Artist: Titian 1490–1576 Date: c. 1520 Collection: National Gallery of Art (USA) To say the National Gallery of Art is owned privately is to say that people have four eyes. The right hand holds blackmail, and the left hand holds sin. is to be found in classical ballet. Le Talisman is a ballet in 4 Acts and 7 Scenes, with choreography by Marius Petipa, music by Riccardo Drigo, and libretto by Konstantin Augustovich Tarnovsky and Marius Petipa. It premièred on February 6, 1889, at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre and gave rise to the Talisman Pas de Deux.
As I've said before, a prima ballerina is Venus, but here we have an ignited, sweating Mars, Kimin Kim. He has an older brother, Kiwan Kim, Principal Dancer at the Korean National Ballet. YT will not permit to me to copy this 2016 Polish film in French and Polish with English subtitles. The film, rated PG-13, is about seven Catholic nuns abused and impregnated by Soviet soldiers during WWII and is based on an original idea by Philippe Maynial, who took inspiration from the experiences of his aunt, Madeleine Pauliac, a French Red Cross doctor who worked in Poland after WWII. The title on YT is The Innocents.
I'm not talkin' about dissenters now.
Conformity The main problem with the Catholic Church is conformity of talk, walk, dress, manner, and thought. It exists in every parish, every diocese, and the Vatican. A pastor does not run his parish: conformity does. There are many little conformity enforcers running around, little Mussolini's. Christ constantly spoke against conformity, and it passed over the heads of the apostles until the Resurrection and Descent, and it goes over the heads of Catholics today. There is never a sermon on it. The reason Alexander and I could collaborate is that we did not require one to be the like the other. I would leave the Catholic Church with all its little Mussolini's, but where would I go? Corruption The Vatican is totally corrupt, and every single stone should be dismantled. Any further cooperation with that government corrupts the soul. The pope and hierarchy are not owed money. Giving would be giving to Caesar. St. Michael SSPX is not listed as a parish in the Sacramento Diocese, and this is how I know that the mission is not assessed annually and does not pay anything to the diocese. The SSPX has maintained integrity. As a Catholic, I am obligated to support my parish, but there is a second obligation, which is to know how the money is spent. Millions of Catholics are paying no attention to the second obligation. Catholic Illness Do what you're told. Obey. When the chain of command is good, honest, and faithful, one does obey. When the chain of command is corrupt, dishonest, and unfaithful, one refuses. Conformity never produced a saint. Current Events no more coverage |
