I learned a new word yesterday from the '62 Missal, Lasance Edition: contemn, a verb, to treat or regard with contempt, translated from the Latin despicere.

The Latin secundum is "according to". English words like "second" come directly from secundus, retaining the core meaning of "following" or "next in order". The word is found in the '62 Missal, Latin Vulgate/Douay-Rheims translation, but you missed that as a result of, or secundum, your own fault, as in earthquake, leading down into the clock-less Inferno. It's all related. Dante's Inferno 지옥 Our solar system is made up of a star—the Sun—eight planets, 146 moons, a bunch of comets, asteroids and space rocks, ice, and several dwarf planets, such as Pluto. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury is closest to the Sun. Neptune is the farthest. 11/27/2025 The noun "perturbation" derives from the Latin perturbatio, meaning "confusion" or "disorder". It comes from the verb perturbare, which combines per ("through") and turbare ("to disturb"). The turbare root is linked to the noun turba, meaning "turmoil" or "crowd". I'm perturbed.
The Latin word canonicus is derived from the Greek word kanon, meaning "rule" or "measuring rod". In classical Latin, it was an adjective meaning "according to rule" or "regular", but in ecclesiastic Latin, it took on specific meanings: as an adjective, it relates to a church rule, and as a noun, it refers to a clergyman living by a specific rule, such as an ICKSP canon (priest), or a monk living under a monastery's rule.

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!

This is an attack on Catholic art and the lame work of the devil. The thurible is real.
Columbus had a brother named Bartholomew who was sent to various courts in Europe to act as an ambassador for the planned voyage. Bartholomew was a skilled cartographer and sailor who played a key role in Christopher's expeditions. After his ambassadorship, Bartholomew continued to play a major role in his brother's career. He later joined Christopher in the Americas, where he was appointed governor (adelantado) of the colony on Hispaniola. Between 1496 and 1498, he founded the city of Santo Domingo, the modern-day capital of the Dominican Republic. Isabella, Eve III migration patterns written before 1494

In forma pauperis is a Latin legal term for "in the manner of a pauper", allowing a person with a low income to proceed in court without having to pay the usual fees associated with a lawsuit or appeal. To use this provision, an individual must file an application, typically with a signed affidavit, declaring that he can't afford the costs and believing that he is entitled to relief. Eligibility is based on factors like income, and the court has the discretion to grant or deny the request.

Q. Is the root of the English word travel the French word travail? A. Yes, the English word "travel" comes from the French word "travail". Both words share an ancient root in the Latin word trepalium [or tripalium], an instrument of torture, and initially carried similar meanings of "struggle" or "hard work". In the Middle Ages, travel was a difficult and arduous undertaking, which led to the development of the verb "travel" from the existing word "travail" to describe this laborious journey. Three words, travail, travel, and trip derive from this one Latin word, tripalium. If I complained to my parents, I got a silent tripalium. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TripaliumCropped.png In addition to...
the record kept by Seneca, Roman statesman and historian, of the reasons why Nero burned a large portion of Rome, and the letters of two Roman emperors, Antoninus Pius and Trajan, who corresponded with Pliny the Younger when he was in the Roman province of Bithynia-Pontus, and the tutelage of Stoic Emperor Marcus Aurelius by Junius Rusticus, Stoic and Urban Prefect of Rome, all of them non-Catholics... archaeologists have unearthed ancient Roman baths that were converted into a Catholic church. The structure dates from the second century by our calendar, not the Roman calendar, that is, 1/1/100 through 12/31/199. This is more evidence of Our Lord's existence. (I dispute some of the language in the article. Thus, content is slightly altered, but a link to archaeologymag.com is provided. Also, I quote with no quotation marks.) The Baths of the Tritons were part of a large estate which, before that, had social and hygienic functions typical of the elite architecture of the Roman Empire. The excavations revealed that the site took on a new religious role. At the center of this is the discovery of a marble-lined vasca (tub or pool), interpreted by archaeologists as an early baptistry for full-immersion baptism, a practice essential to early Christian initiation. The design of the baptistry reflects two phases of use. It was initially deeper to allow for full-body immersion, symbolizing the death of the old life for the neophyte and rebirth into the faith. Subsequently, the pool floor was raised, suggesting a shift toward a less physically demanding form of the rite. This liturgical modification reflects broader adaptations of the rite during Late Antiquity starting in the third century, that is, the next century. Archaeologists affirm that the size and construction of the vasca show that it was not a simple chapel but a formal baptistry church with burial rites. This is attested to by the presence of numerous burials near the pool. That there might have been a bishopric at the site, deep into the Roman countryside, is under serious consideration. Appia Antica Archaeological Park explains that this discovery sheds new light on the Christianization of Rome’s surrounding area. They note that the coexistence of Roman bath architecture with Christian liturgical elements suggests the complex and gradual transitional process from classical antiquity to Christian domination. By Dario Radley, May 12, 2025 https://archaeologymag.com/2025/05/roman-baths-transformed-into-christian-church/ Google AI Overview The root of the word “domination” is the Latin word dominus, meaning “master” or “lord”, which itself comes from the Proto-Indo-European root dem- , meaning “house” or “household”. Thus, the word core meaning relates to having authority or control, as a master of the house. Dominus vobiscum. The Lord be with you. English words that originated with vasca include vascular, vasectomy, vase, and vessel. The English word, vaccine, sometimes confused with vasca, originated with the Latin vaccinus ("pertaining to a cow") because the first vaccines were made from cowpox. Casey Jones, professional geotechnical engineer, USA Total length of GG B, not a railway bridge, including approaches from abutment to abutment, plus the distance to the Toll Plaza, is 9,150 feet (approximately 1.73 miles). From deck to water the distance is about 220 to 245 feet. Workers worked at night. On May 27, 1937, the bridge was opened to the public for the first time for “Pedestrian Day”, and the middle flattened because of the massive crowd. The Latin root for bridge is pons (or its genitive form, pontem).
Golden Gate Bridge An earthquake struck the bridge before it was even completed. A safety net below the bridge saved 19 men during its construction. Fiftieth-anniversary crowds made the bridge temporarily flatten. It took 30 years to remove lead-based paint from the bridge. The orange color was originally intended as a primer.

However, in the 15th century, carrying the Eucharist was a practical necessity for Catholic seafarers. Christopher Columbus was deeply religious, and his three ships, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, very likely carried Him as part of their standard provisions. Several Franciscans accompanied Columbus on his second voyage in 1493, becoming the first priests to bring the Catholic faith to the Americas. One of them, Friar Juan Perez, Queen Isabella's confessor and a key supporter of Columbus's ventures, blessed his fleet before the first voyage, and said the first Mass in the Americas. Historically accurate? Columbus was not Isabella's paramour. Primary historical sources and scholarly accounts give the political/economic aspects of their relationship, not romantic entanglements - Smithsonian Associates.

Wikipedia summary Kaiser Permanente is an American integrated managed care consortium headquartered in Oakland, CA. Founded in 1945 by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and physician Sidney R. Garfield, the organization was initially established to provide medical services at Kaiser's shipyards, steel mills, and other facilities, before being opened to the general public. Kaiser Permanente operates as a consortium comprising three distinct but interdependent entities: 1) the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) and its regional subsidiaries, 2) Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and the 3) regional Permanente Medical Groups. Kaiser is in eight states, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia, and is the largest managed care organization in the US. Consortium The word "consortium" originates from the Latin word consors, meaning partner or sharing in property. The word itself is derived from con- (together) and sors (fate), suggesting a shared destiny or purpose. A consortium is a partnership or association where members pool resources to achieve a common goal.
