map via Glenmary Home Missioners This same area (blue) also stood out on the very first map of “No Priest Land, USA” created by Glenmary’s founder, Father William Howard Bishop. In 1938, of the 3,000 U.S. counties, only 1,000 had a resident priest. Bishops in many states need to get back to work and educate and evangelize, for it is the Catholic faith, and not the incidentals, that prevented me from being brainwashed. Why does an atom’s shell specifically contain, 2, 8, 8, etcetera, electrons?
Answered by Jeremy Garrett, MA Physics “Take a circle, measure the outside (the circumference), then draw a straight line of that length. Now draw a wave that starts at one end [of the line] and finishes at the other [end] — be sure to draw a single full wave with one up (crest) and one down (trough). “Take this drawing (or make a new one) and have it follow the original circle rather than the straight line. You just made an “S-orbit” (or spherical orbit)! “Go around clockwise, then make a new wave going around counterclockwise. Now you’ve made a pair of electron orbits in the “S-orbit” form. You’ve now modeled hydrogen (if you only drew one) or helium if you drew both! “Do the same thing but this time make two full waves (up one octave) instead of only one full wave. The original s-orbit drawing looks like a circle that is offset from the original (kind of Bohr-ing, ha ha). The p-orbital forms the shape of a bowling pin. “To fill the space in your drawing, you can shift over and make 3 of the bowling-pin shapes. You can then go clockwise and counterclockwise with both; doing so gives you 6 more orbits. Ta da, 2 + 6 = 8. It’s that simple. “If you go up another octave you get the d-orbitals, and one more gives you the f-orbitals. “Wolfram Alpha is one of several sites that lets you draw these with a computer rather than having to do it by hand.” Sound like music? That’s why Quora electrifies me. Catholic. Bishop. Saint. Tradition tells us that he was born c. 50 and died c. 107/8. He was a disciple of St. John, the man at the crucifixion who became bishop of Antioch, Syria, and was succeeded by Ignatius, which means ardent, first man to use the word catholic. “It’s in your Nicene Creed.” He wears a tunic and early form of a scapular. The word scapular is from the Latin scapula, meaning shoulder blade. It is a garment first designed by monks during the Middle Ages as protective covering to be worn over their clothing when they did manual labor, such as in the fields or outside, and is still worn today by many Catholics, traditional monks, priests, nuns, and lay people near or on the flesh.
Bishop Robert Mutsaerts of the Netherlands voiced his support for Bishop Strickland, recently evicted without Catholic due process from his Tyler, TX, diocese. Strickland gets the crown of white martyrdom. Mutsaerts likened him to St. John, the only apostle who stood at the foot of the cross. insidethevatican.com photo To give you a sense of size, here are the facts. There are approximately 1.36 billion Catholics in the world. As of 2021, the Catholic Church in its entirety comprises 3,171 ecclesiastical jurisdictions, including over 652 archdioceses and 2,248 dioceses, as well as apostolic vicariates, exarchates, administrations, and prefectures, military ordinariates, personal ordinariates, etcetera. The Holy See (Vatican) is an independent country, acreage irrelevant. The population of China as of 2021 is approximately 1.41 billion. The population of the United States as of 2021 is approximately 332 million. I am a citizen of the United States, not the Holy See, but my allegiance is to both countries and no others. The Moon governs tides. The Thames (těmz) has two tides each day, as does San Francisco Bay. When the tide rises, the average high tide height at London Bridge (Tower Pier) is 6.5m, and muddy banks disappear. The site dummies.com is right for me.
I have a friend who works for a company that provides armed guards to businesses. He is hampered under present circumstances, and wants to move on. Next time I see him, ‘good instincts’, I will direct him to this international crime drama set amid people who blend and confuse. Undercover? One tiny continuity problem: when our protagonist gets knocked down, his hat falls off, and then it's back on.
P Francis commands the faithful to stop complaining so much. Huh!
“You complained a lot a lot about Latin Mass goers. We brought up your modernism, which popes from 1846 to 1958 warred against, and all of them said the Latin Mass daily. “Your papal shoes are old and a bad fit.” When does a ‘B’ signify a ‘D’ in many classrooms?
Editorial from the Las Vegas Review-Journal … “The Report, by Gallup and Learning Heroes, revealed that 88% of parents believe their kids are performing at grade level. In reality, testing last year shows that just 36% of American fourth graders and 26% of eight graders are proficient in reading. Math numbers are similarly dismal.” … The article appeared in The Sacramento Bee on Nov. 20, 2023, and goes on to say that public schools are hiding the facts from parents. … “Consider the Clark County [Nevada] School District’s disastrous ‘minimum F’ policy, which allows unlimited test retakes and imposes a grading floor of 50% whether or not work is completed.” … grade inflation Chopin frequently forgot his own melismatic inventions and would play them differently every time he performed. In singing, the term melisma refers to a passage of music that has a group of notes that are sung with just one syllable. This is the opposite of syllabic singing, which is singing one note per syllable.

Metaphors are stronger comparisons that renounce connectors, such as like and as, and directly equate one thing to another. The characteristics of one thing “carry over.” Origin: Greek meta, meaning “over,” and pherō, meaning “to carry.” Example: recusant Shakespeare’s As You Like It -- “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.” “Willie, though I didn’t really like your plays, excepting Julius Caesar, you were syntactical.” Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, falsified Speaker Mike Johnson’s approach to monitoring pornography usage. Her correction: “I wanted to explain something a little further. I wanted to clarify that the monitoring app that Representative Johnson and his son use is to prevent porn viewing. They are accountability partners for each other in terms of porn.” Johnson is to be commended.
So much news is coalescing:
Every measurement in the “new” Belgian church points down since 2017. The same is true everywhere else. On the night of Nov. 14/15, vandals broke into the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Rouen, France, and stole multiple sacred items and caused serious damage to the altar (not the Rouen cathedral). My sources provided the above information. People who hate the Church will gloat. Not so fast... Above is a November 5, 2023, photo taken in the Rouen cathedral.
The caption reads, “Around thirty young altar servers from the parish of Verneuil-Vernouillet came on pilgrimage to Rouen, accompanied by their priest, Father Amaury.” (green vestment) A boy can serve after his First Holy Communion, age seven, and proper training. August 1, 2017
“All that is known about the mysterious illness comes from the letter Vivaldi wrote asking for the dispensation, in which he referred to it as a ‘tightness of the chest.’ “According to White, ‘it would have been very hard for Vivaldi to give up saying Mass. It would have been his own decision, a decision of nobody but himself, and he also gave up a good salary.’ “She pointed to rumors alleging that he had been kicked out of the priesthood or even excommunicated, saying they ‘are so ignorant and so stupid,’ because if one looks to the facts, the rumors are ‘not proven.’ “She also addressed rumors that Vivaldi had abused the choir girls as the reason he was kicked off the Pieta faculty in 1715. These rumors, she said, ‘not only are they not true, but also they’re impossible.’ “Not only would Vivaldi have never been welcomed back in 1723, but also many of the girls who remained in the orchestra stayed until they were 70 or even 80 years old. “The hospital was also overseen by several governors, so had there been abuse, Vivaldi would have been kicked out right away, ‘so that doesn't add up,’ White said.” [slightly edited to fix grammatical errors] By Elise Harris, Catholic News Agency Interview with Micky White, author of Antonio Vivaldi: A Life in Documents https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/36556/what-makes-vivaldi-unique-among-composers-he-was-a-priest It is conceivable that his asthma was debilitating enough to prompt a decision. Latin Mass is long, and a priest must be moving about, from side to side, to the communion rail and back, and so forth. Maybe God chose musical genius.

Et in Latin means “and”. I had to look up the distinction with ut. It is complicated, so I will make this brief. Only in purpose clauses is ut translated as “so that”. In most of the other ut clauses, which, when combined, make up the majority, ut is translated as simply “that”. It sounds like foot or put.
Time to ask for help from the patron saints of France, Joan of Arc and the Immaculate Conception, and the patron saint of all the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe? Anthony Stine has revealed the next bishop to be cancelled by Francis: Dominique [Dominic in English] Marie Jean Rey (b. September 21, 1952), Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon in the province of Marseille. Two years ago, Francis suspended his right to ordain priests.

Rucking is a form of exercise with roots in military training. Very simply, it’s walking a set distance while carrying a weight in a backpack. Rucking (also known as ruck marching) comes from the words “ruck sack,” which is a durable backpack meant for carrying equipment. Okay…um, simple walking or hiking seems to be plenty of exercise, especially on the day after Thanksgiving, to work off all that thankful tension.
I post something a bit old because the words radical traditionalists were used in the FBI memos regarding surveillance of Catholics. We don’t endorse radicalism, but we accept tradition. The phrase is an oxymoron. Words are misused today, and I urge English teachers and history teachers to correct the situation.
