BCE

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?"

from the Catholic Herald -
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”....

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.

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.

José D U Mendieta

The archbishop of Panama City, Panama, invited all to an event called “Afternoon of Open Temples” on the day of the Assumption, 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.

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. He denounced the freedom to publish indiscriminately.

Mendieta published the Open Temples invitation.
When is the last time incurable Francis visited a Latin Mass church?

Cancelled Bishop Strickland says that the betrayal of Christ today is on the level of Judas's betrayal, and that the Vatican suppressed the Third Secret of Fatima, warning that apostacy would transpire after 1960 from the top.

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. 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, and so the word is translated as children.

Francis revises the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
​
​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. Does Francis not believe in absolution? What is the new understanding?

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.

Francis v Vigano

8/24/2024

3 Comments

 
For fear of being assassinated by the Vatican, Archbishop Viganò 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 his 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.”
​

Vigano and St. Thomas Aquinas lead me to some conclusions. Francis is a false prophet. Any successor in the same vein of Francis is another false prophet.​ In addition, I believe Vigano and Lefebvre are manifest saints.

probability dice

8/23/2024

Definition of probability - a number from 0 to 1, that is, 0 indicating impossibility and 1 indicating certainty, or 0 percent and 100 percent.

Rule of probability - when calculating probabilities involving one event and another event occurring, multiply their probabilities.

The answer Andy gave is 1/13 ≈ .08 or 8 100ths or 8%.

Chinatown at 0000

8/23/2024

The film was shot in Hollywood and made to resemble San Francisco, but that is the old Mission Police station. 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.

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. 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 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]

The Conformist

8/20/2024

0 Comments

 
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.

fantasy & sci-fi DEI

Fantasy is the genre Alexander and I are trying to break into with our short story series. Alexander, age 10 and very gifted, happens to be Chinese American. The four main characters are adults, and none are black or queer, nor would Alexander even be thinking about that, but these types fill the teen section of your public library, nor is the ethnicity of our story kids germane.

Steinway pianos: broad range of tone
Bechstein pianos: romantic tone, bell-like to my ear

A new Steinway grand, flagship (top of the line) Model D, which is designed for the concert stage and has 15 coats of shellac, ranges from $148,000 to $164,000. I suppose a few concert pianists own a Model D, maybe used.

Pianos last longer than a car and need regular tuning at least once a year to keep them up to pitch and playing the correct notes. Strings stretch a great deal during the first year after purchase, and the piano should be tuned twice.
​
My first piano had real ivory keys, and unlike everyone else in the orchestra, a pianist memorizes all the notes. That's the rule, but at Kayden's level, there is a lot of finger memory. Pianists develop quirks, if they don't already have them at the start, which make him more lovable. Yes, I admire a 16-year-old.

Tune a piano after it is moved from one building or house to another. It is inexpensive and takes about an hour. Please leave. It will drive you nuts.

​Tuners look normal.
