The institution referred to is Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School, a primary school in Orland. For separate and distinct reasons, neither The Archangel Foundation nor Church Militant exist today, but no matter what the young men in the video say, or what I say in my blog, church leaders like Bernardin are immune, vaccinated. The current pope emerged from under concrete in Dolton, south of Hillside.

The decades into which I was born and received are far more sinister than what was taught, and I daresay that most Catholics would respond this way, "I don't care. I just want to get myself to heaven."

Plato​
​
Plato's central belief is that true reality exists in an unchanging, perfect world of forms or ideas, while the physical world is an imperfect, changeable copy. Platonists believe that abstract concepts like beauty, justice, and even "dogginess" are the true realities and that the physical world is less real. Having evolved into different forms, such as Neoplatonism, the philosophy has influenced fields like mathematics and science.

​I prefer the word "uncovered".

Google AI Overview
Q. Who wrote about first principles?
A. The first answer Google gave was Herbert Spencer's First Principles.

However, Saint Thomas Aquinas preceded him.

Google AI Overview
I combined two answers.


Thomas Aquinas
Theoretical reason
  • Foundation of knowledge: Aquinas believed that certain, true knowledge requires a foundation in undeniable first principles that cannot be demonstrated through other means. First principles are the fundamental, self-evident truths from which all other knowledge is derived.
  • Law of Non-Contradiction: He wrote that a thing cannot be both itself and its opposite at the same time (e.g., a ball cannot be both red and not red simultaneously), and about the principle of identity ("being is being") and the principle of the excluded middle as key first principles.
  • Law of Identity: A thing is identical with itself.
  • Acquisition: These principles are not innate but are grasped as soon as the intellect understands the nature of the terms, which ultimately stems from sense knowledge and the apprehension of universal natures.
  • Source of certainty: These principles are not discovered through demonstration but are known immediately through an intellectual understanding, which Aquinas considered a habit of mind.
  • Moral principle: He also identified a foundational principle in moral philosophy, that is, "Good is to be done, and evil is to be avoided."

​Practical reason 
  • Foundation for morality: For Aquinas, the first principle of practical reason is the most basic moral precept, which is discoverable through conscience and serves as the starting point for all ethical considerations.
  • Do good, avoid evil: The primary command is that good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.
  • Source of moral knowledge: This principle directs one to act in accordance with his understanding of what is good and bad, which is evaluated by comparing an action with human nature.
  • Natural Law: This first principle is the foundation of natural law, which is understood to be a set of natural and moral laws that are derived from God and known through reason and conscience.​

Watch a practicing snake. Resigned is a euphemism for sacked.

What does no longer in public ministry mean? It means that he cannot say Mass, hear confessions, and give any of the other sacraments but is still a priest because ordination is permanent. Ever jailed? No.

Here are some other names
: Cardinal Coccopalmerio; Cardinal Francisco Errázuriz; and Bishop Juan Barros.

Hoeppner is your typical paper-pusher bishop.

Nice cufflinks, watch, ring, eh?

​Some bishops have chauffeurs.
Some have hired private jets.
Some have taken limos.

When there's rot at the root, there's rot in every branch and twig.
"...In 3/2022, the Diocese announced that its review board determined that Hoeppner had 'engaged in inappropriate activity….with a young man.' Prohibition from public ministry was to continue for a year, then the case was to be reviewed. In 4/2025 the Diocesan website shows Grundhaus as “Retired (On Leave from Public Ministry).”

The Novus Ordo diaconate is a fraud, and why did this bishop have a private home while he was bishop, and why does any reigning bishop have a private home? Read the story of dead Bishop Ziemann of Santa Rosa, California.​

penis (part of speech - noun)

Etymology
(source: etymonline)

"the male organ of copulation" 1670s, from French pénis or directly from Latin pēnis "penis", earlier "tail", from PIE *pes-, usually said to be originally "penis"

source also of Sanskrit pasas-, Greek peos, posthe "penis", probably also Old English fæsl "progeny, offspring", Old Norse fösull, German Fasel "young of animals, brood"


But de Vaan writes that "the meaning of pēnītus ['furnished with a tail'] as well as general semantic considerations suggest that the meaning 'tail' is original, and 'penis' metaphorically derived from it."
​

The proper plural is penes. The adjective is penial. In 1811, hair being 18th century slang for "female pudendum", hair-splitter was noted as slang for "penis". In psychological writing, the term penis envy is attested by 1922.
​
Catholic faith


A man gives; a woman receives. A man initiates; a woman does not. This is the way we are made and God’s intention. For feminists, the penis is power, and they want it, and because they cannot have it, they want to castrate boys in every way possible. These women hate men, and male feminists hate themselves.

​This is mirrored in the Church. We receive Our Lord on the knee and do not touch Him. He is the giver, and we are the receivers. Taking Him and touching Him is immoral, akin to taking hold of the penis.

Description:
"Pro-Israel Maccabi fans stage demonstration in Amsterdam, at least ten arrests" AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - NOVEMBER 7: Fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv stage a pro-Israel demonstration at the Dam Square, lighting up flares and chanting slogans ahead of the UEFA Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on November 07, 2024. Maccabi fans clashed with pro-Palestinian citizens and ripped off Palestinian flags hung on the streets. In the lead-up to the Ajax vs Maccabi Tel Aviv match, several areas of Amsterdam have been designated as security risk zones. (Photo by Mouneb Taim/Anadolu via Getty Images)
"Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were banned from watching their game against Aston Villa after police intelligence concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club.

"The ban ignited an intense controversy and was criticised by the prime minister, as well as others claiming it was a surrender to antisemitism.
​
"The police assessment led to the fixture on 6 November at Villa Park in Birmingham being classed as high risk. The intelligence and risk assessments that led to that conclusion and ban have not been made public..."
​

Google AI Overview
Q. What is Macabbi?
A. "Maccabi" can refer to a historical Jewish warrior group led by Judah Maccabee or, more commonly today, the global Jewish sports and culture organization, Maccabi World Union. This movement uses sports to build Jewish identity and connection to Israel through events like the Maccabiah Games, the "Jewish Olympics" held every four years in Israel. It also refers to Macabi USA, a similar organization, and can describe a local sports club or even Maccabi Healthcare Services, one of Israel's largest healthcare providers.

So-called protest-ants deleted 1 & 2 Machabees from the Bible and are completely ignorant of the name and its ramifications.
https://www.drbo.org/​

Starmer and his cronies don't know what anti-Semitism is.
​
Macabre
  1. French origin: The word entered English in the 15th century via the Old French danse Macabré.
  2. "Macabré" likely from Machabees: The most widely accepted theory is that "Macabré" is a corruption of the name Machabee, Book 2, which details a series of gruesome martyrdoms.
  3. Link to the "dance of death": A medieval Latin procession, chorea Machabaeorum ("dance of the Machabees"), reenacted these horrors. This procession's theme, and the resulting term, became associated with the "dance of death" motif that became popular in art and literature.
  4. Most infamous is Dance of Death, Camille Saint-Saëns's 1874 symphonic poem, Danse Macabre. Other notable works include Franz Liszt's 1849 Totentanz, also meaning "Dance of Death", and Modest Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death.​

​FYI: Saint-Saëns and Liszt were devout Catholics.

​Grok xAI uses the Gregorian calendar. The terms BC before Christ and anno Domini AD are used when designating years in the Gregorian calendar, which replaced the Julian calendar. Nevertheless, Grok chooses the terms BCE and CE, which are incorrect. Let's go on.

Q. Is Jesus real? (second answer)
A. Yes, Jesus of Nazareth was a real historical person who lived in the 1st century CE in Roman Judea. Here's the evidence, broken down clearly:

1. Non-Christian Historical Sources (Independent of the Bible)
  • Tacitus (Roman historian, ~116 CE): In Annals 15.44, he mentions "Christus" executed under Pontius Pilate during Tiberius' reign, and notes early Christians in Rome.
  • Josephus (Jewish historian, ~93 CE): In Antiquities of the Jews 18.3.3, he refers to Jesus as a wise teacher executed by Pilate, with a brother named James (corroborated in 20.9.1). While parts of the passage may have later Christian edits, the core reference is widely accepted as authentic by scholars.
  • Pliny the Younger (Roman governor, ~112 CE): In a letter to Emperor Trajan, he describes Christians worshiping "Christus" as a god.
  • Suetonius (Roman historian, ~121 CE): Mentions disturbances among Jews in Rome under Claudius "at the instigation of Chrestus" (likely a misspelling of Christus).
These sources are hostile or neutral to Christianity, making bias toward exaggeration unlikely.

2. Archaeological Corroboration
  • Pontius Pilate Inscription (1961, Caesarea Maritima): A limestone block confirms Pilate was prefect of Judea (26–36 CE), matching the Gospel timeline.
  • Caiaphas Ossuary (1990): A bone box inscribed with the name of the high priest who, per the Gospels, presided over Jesus’ trial.
  • 1st-Century Synagogues (e.g., Capernaum, Gamala): They match descriptions in the Gospels of Jesus teaching in Galilean synagogues.

3. The Gospels as Historical Documents
  • Written 30–70 years after Jesus’ death (Mark ~70 CE, others later), they contain embarrassing details unlikely to be invented (e.g., disciples fleeing, women as first witnesses—less credible in 1st-century culture).
  • Multiple independent attestations (Mark, Q source, L source, John) show early, diverse traditions about Jesus.

4. Rapid Spread of Christianity
  • Within 20 years of Jesus’ death (~30 CE), thousands in Jerusalem and beyond followed him, despite persecution. This is hard to explain without a real, impactful figure.

Scholarly Consensus
Virtually all historians (secular, Christian, Jewish, atheist) agree Jesus existed, was baptized by John, preached in Galilee, gathered followers, and was crucified under Pilate. The debate is about miracles and divinity, not existence.
As Bart Ehrman (agnostic scholar) says: "Jesus did exist, whether we like it or not."
Bottom line: Jesus was real. The supernatural claims (resurrection, miracles) are matters of faith and philosophy, not historical fact.

​
Grok
Q. Was Jesus real? (first answer)
A. Yes, Jesus was a real historical figure. The vast majority of scholars, historians, and archaeologists—across religious, secular, and atheist perspectives—agree that a Jewish preacher named Jesus (or Yeshua) lived in the region of Judea (modern-day Israel/Palestine) during the early 1st century CE, was baptized by John the Baptist, gathered followers, and was crucified under the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate around 30–33 CE. [correct date is April 3, 33]

This consensus is based on multiple independent sources from antiquity:
  • Roman historians: Tacitus (c. 116 CE) mentions Jesus' execution under Pilate in his Annals, describing him as the founder of Christianity. Suetonius and Pliny the Younger also reference early Christians and their "Christus".
  • Jewish sources: The historian Josephus (c. 93 CE) refers to Jesus twice in his Antiquities of the Jews, including one passage noting him as a wise teacher executed by Pilate who had a following that persisted.
  • Christian texts: The New Testament Gospels (written 40–100 years after Jesus' death) and Paul's letters (c. 50–60 CE) provide detailed accounts, though they are religious documents and thus biased toward faith claims.
  • Archaeological context: No direct artifacts of Jesus exist (unsurprising for an itinerant preacher from a poor background).

Even critical scholars who doubt the miraculous elements (e.g., virgin birth, resurrection) affirm his existence, as denying it requires dismissing these sources without strong evidence. Fringe "mythicist" theories (claiming Jesus was entirely invented) are rejected by experts like Bart Ehrman or Maurice Casey, who argue the rapid rise of Christianity is inexplicable without a real founder.

In short, the historical Jesus is as well-attested as most ancient figures from that era, comparable to Socrates or Alexander the Great. Debates focus on who he was (messiah, prophet, revolutionary) and what he truly said/did, not if he existed.

Notes:
1. According to Google AI Overview, Josephus was a Jewish historian who lived from AD 37 to around AD 100. He was born in Jerusalem, witnessed the Roman siege of the city, and spent his later life in Rome, where he wrote his major works.

2. 'No direct artifacts' is contradicted by another YT video. See the YT video at the bottom, dated 8/28/2025. Some of the images are not the best, but the video is generally good.

One analysis used by Grok to analyze Jesus was recursive mathematics.

Grok's analysis used recursive structures to analyze Jesus.

Google AI Overview
Examples of recursive structures
  • Linked lists: A list is defined as either empty or a node with a value and a reference to another list.
  • Trees: A tree is a recursive data structure because it can be defined as a node with a value and a collection of subtrees, where each subtree is also a tree.
  • File systems: A folder can contain other folders, which in turn can contain more folders, creating a recursive hierarchy.
  • Fractals: They are mathematical sets where a part of the structure is a smaller version of the whole.
  • The human family tree: Each person is part of the structure, and the structure extends upwards through parents, who are also part of the same type of structure.

Q. Is Quantum AI the same as Grok AI?
A. No, Quantum AI and Grok are not the same; Quantum AI is a field of computing that uses quantum mechanics to enhance AI, while Grok is a large language model developed for answering questions. Quantum AI is a concept that uses quantum computing to make AI models more powerful, whereas Grok is a specific AI product that functions as a chatbot or information provider.

​Correction: We do not worship a cloth. The cloth on the altar at Mass is sacred when, and only when, it is white linen, and frankly it must be the traditional Latin Mass, not the imitation New Mass.

Grok thought for one minute, 12 seconds on the following question:

The question of whether Jesus is who he claimed to be in the Gospels—primarily the Messiah (Christ), the Son of God, and divine (e.g., as in claims like John 8:58, Matthew 16:16-17, or predictions of his resurrection)—is fundamentally a matter of faith, history, philosophy, and personal worldview. There are no universally agreed-upon "odds" because probability assessments here rely on subjective priors (initial assumptions about God's existence, the reliability of ancient texts, miracles, etc.). What follows is a balanced overview of key arguments from both affirming and skeptical perspectives, drawing on historical, theological, and probabilistic analyses. I'll highlight probabilistic estimates where they've been calculated by scholars, but these vary widely based on starting assumptions.

Key Claims of Jesus in the Gospels
Jesus' self-claims include:
  • Being the Messiah foretold in Jewish scriptures (e.g., Luke 4:21).
  • Being one with God the Father (e.g., John 10:30, 14:9).
  • Having authority to forgive sins (e.g., Mark 2:5-7).
  • Predicting and fulfilling his own death and resurrection (e.g., Mark 8:31, 9:31).
Affirmation of these claims often hinges on two pillars: fulfillment of Old Testament (OT) prophecies and evidence for the resurrection as a divine vindication.

Affirmative Arguments (High Probability Estimates)
Christian apologists argue that the cumulative evidence makes it highly improbable for Jesus' claims to be false or coincidental. They often use statistical or Bayesian methods to quantify this.
  • Fulfillment of Messianic Prophecies: The OT contains hundreds of verses interpreted as pointing to a Messiah (e.g., born in Bethlehem per Micah 5:2, from David's line per Isaiah 11:1, suffering servant per Isaiah 53). Scholars like Alfred Edersheim identify 456 such verses, with Jesus fulfilling at least 300 conservatively. Peter Stoner and Robert Newman, in Science Speaks, calculated the odds of one person fulfilling just 8 specific prophecies (e.g., birthplace, betrayal for 30 silver pieces, crucifixion details) as 1 in 10^17 (1 in 100 quadrillion)—a number so low it's effectively impossible by chance alone. For 48 prophecies, it's 1 in 10^157. Other estimates suggest over 300 fulfillments, pushing odds even lower (e.g., 1 in 10^28 for 8).
  • Bayesian Analysis of the Resurrection: Philosopher Richard Swinburne applies Bayes' theorem, factoring in prior probability of God's existence (set at 50% based on natural theology like fine-tuning of the universe), the likelihood of God incarnating for atonement and solidarity with suffering, historical evidence (e.g., empty tomb, eyewitness accounts in 1 Corinthians 15), and the improbability of such evidence arising naturally without a resurrection. His conclusion: a 97% probability that Jesus was God incarnate who rose from the dead. Other apologists like Tim McGrew or Jonathan McLatchie argue similarly, emphasizing background knowledge makes the resurrection more likely than alternatives like mass hallucination or theft of the body.
  • Historical Corroboration: Extra-biblical sources (e.g., Josephus, Tacitus) confirm Jesus' existence and crucifixion. The rapid spread of Christianity despite persecution is seen as evidence of genuine conviction from eyewitnesses.
In these views, the "odds" approach certainty (near 100%) if one accepts moderate priors for God's existence and miracle possibilities.

Skeptical Arguments (Low Probability Estimates)
From Jewish, historical-critical, and atheist perspectives, Jesus does not match the expected Messiah, and claims of divinity contradict core beliefs. Probabilities are estimated as near zero due to unfulfilled criteria and alternative explanations.
  • Failure to Fulfill Messianic Prophecies (Jewish View): Judaism expects the Messiah to: build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28), gather all Jews to Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6), usher in world peace (Isaiah 2:4), spread universal knowledge of God (Isaiah 11:9), and be a descendant of David through patrilineal lineage (Jeremiah 23:5). Jesus did none of these; his death ended his mission without these outcomes. Additionally, the virgin birth (Matthew 1:23, citing Isaiah 7:14) breaks tribal lineage (which is paternal), and Jesus was executed as a criminal, disqualifying him (Deuteronomy 21:23). No OT prophecy requires a dying/resurrecting Messiah; this was a Christian innovation. Jews also reject incarnation or Trinity as idolatry, viewing God as indivisible (Deuteronomy 6:4). [In fact, the Trinity is indivisible, meaning there is one divine substance or essence shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. While the three persons are distinct, they are not separate, and the external actions of God are inseparable because They all act as one God.]
  • Historical-Critical Issues with Prophecies: Scholar Bart Ehrman argues OT passages weren't originally messianic (e.g., Isaiah 53 refers to Israel, not a person; no pre-Christian Jew saw a suffering Messiah). Gospel writers retrofitted Jesus' story to "fulfill" them, inventing details like the Bethlehem birth. This makes fulfillment circular, not predictive. [Please explain the existence of Beth Israel Messianic Synagogue, Jacksonville, FL, BethIsraelNow.com].
  • Bayesian Skepticism on the Resurrection: Critics like Brian Blais or the analysis in Deconstructing Christianity stack low priors: miracles violate natural laws (near-zero probability without strong evidence), ancient testimonies are unreliable (prone to legend, bias), and alternatives (e.g., stolen body, mistaken identity) are more plausible. One calculation concludes a 0.3% probability for the resurrection, emphasizing that Bayesian methods highlight Christianity's reliance on faith over evidence. David Hume's argument (via Bayes) weighs uniform human experience against miracles as overwhelmingly favoring non-miraculous explanations.
In these views, the "odds" are effectively zero, as Jesus' claims don't align with evidence or expectations.

Q. What are the odds Jesus is who He claimed to be in the Gospels?
A. Affirmative arguments (High Probability Estimates)
Skeptical arguments (Low Probability Estimates)
You can ask Grok itself and read the answer.
 
The most stunning answer:
Stoner/Newman (Apologist) 8 Messianic Prophecies 1 in 10^17 (by chance)

Q. What Bible did Grok use?
A. I didn’t quote any specific Bible translation in my previous response—I referenced Gospel passages by chapter and verse (e.g., John 10:30, Mark 2:5–7) and Old Testament prophecies by book, chapter, and verse (e.g., Isaiah 53, Micah 5:2). These citations are standard across nearly all major English translations (KJV, NIV, ESV, NASB, NRSV, etc.), so the exact wording wasn’t needed for the argument. If you want me to quote a specific verse using a particular translation, just let me know (e.g., “Quote John 8:58 in the ESV”). I can pull from any widely recognized version.

Grok did not use the Latin Vulgate or the English translation found in the Douay-Rheims Bible, the first and most authoritative translation, and instead used the King James Bible as the first reference.

Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno (cinematic video created by AI Art)
Genre: poetry

Google AI Overview
Q. When did Dante Alighieri write the Divine Comedy?
A. He wrote the Divine Comedy between 1308 and his death in 1320. While the exact dates are debated, it's generally accepted he began writing it after his exile in 1302 and completed it just before his death.
 
  • Context: The writing was his final major work and was done during his exile from his home city of Florence, a period that began in 1302.
  • Start date: Dante began writing the Divine Comedy in exile, likely starting in 1308.
  • End date: He completed the work in 1320, the year he died.​
Google AI Overview
Q. Did Dante Alighieri write the Divine Comedy in Latin?
A. No. It was not written in Latin; it was written in the Tuscan dialect, which is the foundation of modern Italian. Dante Alighieri's choice to use his native vernacular instead of Latin was a deliberate and influential decision that helped establish the language as a respected literary medium.
  • Pioneering choice: This was a significant departure from the norm, as Latin was the dominant language for scholarly and literary writing at the time.​
  • Linguistic impact: By choosing the vernacular over Latin for such a monumental work, Dante helped standardize and elevate the Italian language.
The story is told in narrative form, not poetry.

Eleven, one cardinal archbishop and 10 auxiliary bishops, more than any other diocese in the US, for a place where parishes are combining or closing and urban violence is rampant, and you really want to support Gray-A or Gray-Ace/Aro when elevation is blackmail?

The Final Judge

Saint Thomas More
February 7, 1478 – July 6, 1535
lawyer, judge, capital punishment proponent
All secular and religious leaders, presidents, prime ministers, governors, and judges will face the Final Judge. They seem not to have any awareness of Him.
Saint Thomas Aquinas also was in favor. There is no major Hollywood film about the greatest writer, philosopher, and theologian.
​Let's begin again there.

​Prevost was accused of covering up sexual abuse during his time in Chiclayo. The targets of the 2007 abuse by priests Ricardo Yesquén Paiva and Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzáles said in 2022 that the Diocese of Chiclayo failed to investigate their cases. The diocese stated that Prevost followed proper procedures, met with Ana María Quispe and her sisters in April 2022 to personally attend the victims, encouraged them to initiate a civil action, and initiated a canonical investigation, the results of which he sent to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, a bloated and artificial name for anything. In 2024, the sisters stated that no full, penal, canonical investigation occurred, and an investigation by América Televisión concluded that the church’s investigation was mishandled, to say the least.

Species
The bread and wine in communion are referred to as "species". Specifically, there are two species: the consecrated bread (the Body of Christ) and the consecrated wine (the Blood of Christ). The term "species" refers to the outward, visible appearances of the bread and wine, even after they are consecrated to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Word origin: it comes from the Latin verb specere ("to look at or to see"). The English word "spy" shares this same root.

Speculum
Covered already in the great short story by H.P. Lovecraft ("The Outsider"), words that originate with the Latin speculum (“mirror”) include speculate, spectacles, spectrum, and specimen, all of which relate to seeing or observing. Other words are inspector, specter, suspect, perspective, and telescope, which also stem from the same root word specere, meaning “to look at” or “to observe”. Know your Latin, Catholics!

Gradus
Are there any other species beyond the human species? If you aren't at least wondering about that, what shall God give you, a pass or fail?

This is the Catholic Church, producing assembly-line minds.
Very Reverend Salvador Gonzalez has been serving as our Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia since September 1, 2020. When he is not helping Bishop Brennan oversee Diocesan administration or serving the community of St. John’s, he enjoys spending time as a dog dad to his four poodles, Coco, Rosie, Sophie, and Bella. 🐩🐾
That's the condition of the Catholic Church.

Vatican sacrifice

The documentary was posted on YT 10/11/2025.

The Vatican Sacrificed My Sister to Fund a Secret War (Here's Why).
Her brother tells the story.




​The Vatican needs to be overthrown. I will no longer have anything to do with this. I promised Our Lord at my confirmation (12) to remain faithful to Him until the end, but I shall have nothing further to do with an alien entity.
Compliance is complicity. Hell is the destination.

Antonio, 11 at the time, sings Schubert's most famous song. A treble boy is a singer with an unchanged voice. The term "treble" is used in the context of choral music, especially in the UK, to describe a boy with a high-pitched voice that has not yet broken. The date of the recording is October 2020. This song is one of the most difficult for a soprano to sing well. Dad said, "Always keep your eyes open when singing."
