Magdalene’s Complaint at Christ’s Death Thirty-four-year-old Robert was beheaded and quartered at Tyburn on Feb. 21, 1595, for the crime of being a Catholic priest. He came from the Douay-Rheims group (NT - 1582, OT - 1609-1610).
Southwell and Shakespeare “Apart from their mutual acquaintance with the Earl of Southampton, and the strong circumstantial evidence that they must have known each other within the confines of London’s close-knit Catholic recusant community, the strongest evidence for Southwell’s and Shakespeare’s friendship is to be found in their respective works. … “Shortly before his capture in July 1592, Southwell had been working on a manuscript of his poems and had penned a Preface addressed to the author’s ‘Loving Cousin’. Since Southwell and Shakespeare were distant cousins, it has been conjectured that the Preface was addressed to Shakespeare, though others have suggested that the ‘Cousin’ in question was perhaps Southampton, since Southwell’s brother and sister had each married Southampton’s first cousins. “Either way, the Preface itself is an appeal to poets in general, or perhaps to Shakespeare in particular, to use their God-given talents in the service of the Giver of them: ‘Poets, by abusing their talents, and making the follies and feignings of love the customary subject of their base endeavours, have so discredited this faculty, that a poet, a lover, and a liar, are by many reckoned but three words of one signification….’” theimaginativeconservative.org/2023/07/romeo-jesuits-robert-southwell-joseph-pearce.html#:~:text=Since%20Southwell%20and%20Shakespeare%20were,each%20married%20Southampton's%20first%20cousins. Shakespeare wrote a poem to honor Anne Line and her husband, but you will find no mention of her name in it. The Phoenix and the Turtle Catholics were subject to a COE tax and fines and had two choices: pay the tax and lay low or be jailed and executed. Shakespeare chose the former; the Line's and Southwell chose the latter. Two other women were executed for hiding priests: Clitherow and Ward.

All Californians, pay attention!
“Originating as three forks in the high Sierra Nevada, the river flows generally southwest through the agricultural San Joaquin Valley to join the San Joaquin River south of Manteca, draining parts of five California counties. The Stanislaus is known for its swift rapids and scenic canyons in the upper reaches, and is heavily used for irrigation, hydroelectricity, and domestic water supply.” -Wikipedia Stanislaus County and Stanislaus River (Rio de Estanislao) are named after a man educated at Mission San José, Estanislao, leader of the Lakisamni tribe of the Yokuts people of northern California, after Saint Stanislaus the Martyr. My family rafted the rapids several times. Saint Stanislaus “Saint Stanislaus was a humble man. He desired to live in poverty and to this end gave away all his wealth when he became a priest. Contrary to his desires, however, he was elected bishop of Krakow. He took up the see only after the pope explicitly ordered him to do so. “His holy office brought him into the sphere of the Polish king—Boleslaus, a corrupt and cruel man. King and bishop frequently fell into conflict as Stanislaus sought to convert the king or intercede on behalf of his subjects. “One day, Stanislaus purchased land for the church from a man named Piotr. When this man died soon afterward, his family tried to reclaim the land, and Boleslaus sided with them. “When Stanislaus learned of this, he strode into the court and asked for three days to produce the witness of the purchase—none other than Piotr himself. The king, laughing at such an obviously impossible request, granted the three days to the bishop. “The bishop spent that time fasting and praying. On the third day, he dressed in full episcopal regalia, went to the cemetery, and begged God to raise Piotr from his grave. Immediately, Piotr rose out of the earth. “Bishop and resurrected man went to the court, where Piotr gave his evidence and rebuked his greedy family. The king quickly declared that Stanislaus did indeed own the land. Bishop and resurrected man returned to the cemetery, where Stanislaus asked Piotr if he would like to continue living. Piotr, however, declined, preferring to return to his eternal rest. “Despite this demonstration of the bishop’s holiness and communion with God—or perhaps because of it—Boleslaus continued to clash with him. Finally, in 1079, the king murdered Stanislaus with his own hands as the saint stood at the altar. Like the Poland of St. Stanislaus’s day, the current political scene is perilous for the devout Catholic. Evangelization and Ideology provides inspiration as it breaks down the four prominent secular ideologies of our day and shows how our broken society is a chance to evangelize and uphold Truth with Stanislaus-like courage and hope. The Catholic Company My Church shall not be silenced. At age 18 Jesus permitted Joseph to die. Some say Joseph couldn't bear what was to come.
The painting is thought to be by F. S. Shuman, an artist from Alexandria, VA, and hangs in the Basilica of St. Mary, founded in 1795 and located in Alexandria. It was the first Catholic parish in the Commonwealth of Virginia and West Virginia, one state territory until 1863. President George Washington, father of the country, made the first contribution, equivalent to $1,200 today, for the creation of a Catholic parish.
This painting is magnificent for the way Jesus looks at Joseph. Hoover Institution's Scott Atlas, MD, deemed an outlier, a person differing from all other members of a particular group or set, by Deborah Birx, MD, Anthony Fauci, MD, Francis Collins, MD, and others, speaks about vaccines and masks. He says that elderly with six comorbidities or more were at risk. Now we know that the WHO, led by Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, falsified data.

So it was a sharp $5 million increase in their household net worth during the pandemic,’ he said.” https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/fauci-and-wifes-net-worth-exceeded-11-million-during-pandemic-dr-anthony-fauci-christina-grady-national-institute-of-health-covid-19-masks-health-care All this made many Americans distrust their own government. All this is the reason I do not listen to the complicit heretic leading the Catholic Church. All this falls on 1/2 of two ears.
Let's make some connections. Penitentiary comes from the Latin paenitentia, meaning "repentance." A penitentiary is a place you are sent to make repentance for a crime committed. Penitentiary also can be used as an adjective to describe something done to show penance, as in the penitentiary scarlet "A" on Hester's chest, The Scarlet Letter, by Hawthorne, and check out Leavenworth Penitentiary in "Hearts and Hands" in the Reading List. Now, think. What bread is unleavened? Jerome on unleavened bread... Jerome: “Or otherwise; The woman who takes the leaven and hides it, seems to me to be the Apostolic preaching, or the Church gathered out of diverse nations. She takes the leaven, that is, the understanding of the Scriptures, and hides it in three measures of meal, that the three, spirit, soul, and body, may be brought into one, and may not differ among themselves. Or otherwise; We read in Plato that there are three parts in the soul, reason, anger, and desire; so we also if we have received the evangelic leaven of Holy Scripture, may possess in our reason prudence, in our anger hatred against vice, in our desire love of the virtues, and this will all come to pass by the Evangelic teaching which our mother Church has held out to us. I will further mention an interpretation of some; that the woman is the Church, who has mingled the faith of man in three measures of meal, namely, belief in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; which when it has fermented into one lump, brings us not to a threefold God, but to the knowledge of one Divinity. This is a pious interpretation; but parables and doubtful solutions of dark things, can never bestow authority on dogmas.” Wikipedia treats St. Jerome better than any other source. Amazing it is, too, that I have felt more loved outside the Church. I have no explanations. In 1989, the George H.W. Bush administration banned the importation of foreign-made, semiautomatic rifles deemed not to have "a legitimate sporting use." It did not affect domestically manufactured rifles of the same type.

Dear Mr. Al Gore:
During WWII, Irena Sendler, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck for larger children. Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the noises of infants and children. She smuggled 2,500. In 2007 she was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Al, you and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) won the prize that year for "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." Before that, you had earned an A on your thesis, "The Impact of Television on the Conduct of the Presidency, 1947–1969", and had graduated with an A.B. cum laude in June 1969. I do not see a science degree in your pedigree. Your net worth is $300M. Al, do you feel good about all that, morally superior to the rest of us, entitled to lecture the world? It must be nice to be perched high. Affectionately, Robert E Dunn A pro-Palestine activist completely destroyed Philip Alexius de László's 1914 unprotected portrait of Lord Balfour at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, March 8, 2024. Lord Balfour played a key role in the creation of Israel. Palestine Action admitted responsibility. The painting is irreplaceable; this is grand larceny. No one tackled her. The artist was of Jewish origin, and his painting of Pope Leo XIII earned him a Grand Gold Medal at the Paris International Exhibition in 1900, the same year he married Lucy Madeleine Guinness.

The appointed, unelected bureaucrat with no medical background leads health and human services. What he excelled at as California AG was bringing Trump to court 110 times and spending $41M of taxpayer money doing it. Catholic Becerra defends abortion. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that since the 1st century the Church has affirmed that every procured abortion is a moral evil; the Catechism states that this position “has not changed and remains unchangeable”.

The claims are verifiable. Jerry attended the same high school as my brother and I, and he did enter the Jesuit novitiate but left.
In California, obtaining a Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW) license is difficult. The sheriff has broad discretion whether to grant you the license. You must complete an application and a firearms safety course. A friend took the course, and the list of places in California where one cannot carry a gun is so long that he and the others wondered why they sought a permit. "Nevertheless," said Thomas More. “I do none harm, I say none harm, I think none harm. And if this be not enough to keep a man alive, in good faith I long not to live,” sanctified July 6, 1535, upon his beheading at Tower Hill and proclaiming himself to be “the King’s good servant but God’s first”. U think communist operatives are not active in the USA?

We are losing it, aren’t we? The city we came to love. San Francisco. We are losing it, bit by bit, day by day. The word that Macy’s is planning to close its flagship store on Union Square is another clear sign. The place we used to call the City, as if there were no other, is fading away. And we won’t see it again. Everybody knows the story by now — Macy’s, the New York-based chain, said it planned to close 150 “underproductive” stores across the country by 2026. The San Francisco store was on the list. The Chronicle called the news about the San Francisco store “a bombshell.” I’m not sure it was a bombshell at the 149 other doomed stores, but they’re not San Francisco. San Francisco, we thought, was special. And Macy’s, a huge battleship of a store, was special to San Francisco. The store takes up nearly a full block of valuable Union Square real estate — 400,000 square feet of merchandise, eight floors from cookware and a branch post office on the lower level to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant on the top floor, which offers dinner and lunch and 40 varieties of cheesecake for dessert. Macy’s is more than a big store. It’s the anchor of the Union Square shopping area, our Fifth Avenue, our Rodeo Drive, our Miracle Mile. There was an ice rink in the square in winter, and Macy’s put up a huge Christmas tree every season. One year the store advertised “the magic of Macy’s” and another year there was an uproar when the store fired the Santa Claus, the fella they had hired to spread magic to the kids. Macy’s firing Santa Claus? Holy Kris Kringle! That was almost as unthinkable as Macy’s leaving San Francisco. Macy’s won’t leave San Francisco right away. First, the company wants to find a buyer for the property. It’s economics, of course: property is worth more than the business. So, the store will stay open and gradually fade away, like an old photograph. That’s the way change happens to cities. Slowly, bit by bit, so you hardly notice. That’s what’s happening to San Francisco. San Francisco was all a myth anyway: Dashiell Hammett, Jack London, Bill Saroyan, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Frank Norris, Jack Kerouac, Tony Bennett, and Herb Caen. They invented it. Writers said San Francisco was one of three story cities. New York and New Orleans were the other two. Film makers, too: Alfred Hitchcock, Garry Marshall, Chris Columbus, Wayne Wang. Filmed here were The Maltese Falcon, Dirty Harry, Woman on the Run, Bullitt, Superman, Hulk, The Wedding Planner, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Forrest Gump, What's Up Doc, A View to Kill, The Birds, The Candidate, Interview With the Vampire, and the list goes on. The city had character. And characters. Remember the NO SEX guy at Powell and Market? The sidewalk musician who called himself the Automatic Human Juke Box? The siren that went off every Tuesday at noon? The identical Brown Twins who graced downtown streets? The grand funeral at Grace Cathedral for Jose Sarria, the drag queen and gay rights pioneer? A ceremony “fit for an empress,” the Chronicle said. Only in San Francisco. We had all that and grand restaurants and destination stores as well: I Magnin, Nordstrom, the City of Paris, Macy’s. The Gap and Levi Strauss were founded here. There was something in the air in San Francisco. You could feel it. Then something changed, like the air going out of a balloon. Not all at once. Slowly. Surely you noticed. The homeless situation became a crisis, housing became a crisis, the city’s quality of life became a crisis: busted car windows, graffiti scrawls everywhere. The big drug stores started locking the shelves. One Sunday last month the Chronicle ran a huge front-page headline: 806. That was the number of drug overdose deaths in 2023. Nobody’s to blame. It wasn’t one thing. It was all things: drugs, the economy, a bad rap from the international media, a shift in style, the rise of the internet, the arrival of technocrats (X, formerly Twitter, and several more), the fall of retail, the decline of style in everyday life, the COVID breach, an ineffective city government. All those things. It has been a bad year, maybe a tipping point. A third of the retail space downtown is empty. Last summer Nordstrom closed and the Westfield mall on Market Street emptied out. Anchor Steam Beer shut down. And now Macy’s. When I heard the news, I walked through Macy’s. It felt the same as I remembered, the merchandise all new, glittering. The main floor has a distinct smell, part perfume, part department store. I walked past the jewelry displays, past the cases full of pretty watches, skipped the elevator, rode up on the escalator on the Geary Street side, a moving stair through a marketplace, elegant gowns, racks of men’s sport coats and suits, a floor full of beds and pillows and sheets. A department store like Macy’s is uniquely American. It’s our style. “The Look You Love” the sign says. I went to the wine bar on the third floor and looked out — at Saks Fifth Avenue, at Tiffany & Co., at the Apple Store, and at the Union Square shops around Macy’s — a busy afternoon in the center of the city. It was toward the end of the day, and I wondered how long this scene will be there after Macy’s is gone. Because it won’t last. Better go and enjoy the city we still have.

“The Montagnards who considered worship necessary replaced the Catholic Sunday Mass by the civil mass of decadi. Having failed to reform and nationalize Catholicism they endeavored to form a sort of civil cult, a development of the worship of the fatherland which had been inaugurated at the feast of the Federation. “The Church of Notre-Dame-de-Paris became a temple of Reason, and the feast of Reason was celebrated on November 10.

Rather, it may have functioned to emphasize her unique identity as La Pucelle [virgin or maiden], a model of virtue that transcends gender roles and inspires people.” The angels are genderless, not people. Joan said that God and the angels commanded her to wear men’s clothes. A lying saint? Don’t think so. Male and female saints are not historical footnotes. They are alive.
