Putting himself on display for the click of a camera, he kisses that man but would not kiss me on any day either in private or in public. "Where is your LOYALTY?" Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision c. A.D. 1750 The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ, According to St. Matthew Chapter 6 [1] Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. [2] Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. [3] But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. [4] That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. [5] And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. [6] But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. [7] And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. [8] Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him. https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/r/rheims/rheims-idx?type=DIV1&byte=2026#:~:text=%5B9%5D%20Thus%20therefore%20shall%20you,this%20day%20our%20supersubstantial%20bread. I am a nonconformist, which renders me among conservative/traditional types, and now I speak to Latin Mass Catholics of a process of discovery. I derive as much inspiration from literature, music, and art as my Roman Missal. It is saying so that causes conformists to attack with eyes and sometimes with words. Most people think that to be a Catholic, one must be a conformist, because most Catholics are, whether modernist or 'traditionalist' and one reason the Church has lost so many. One of Emerson's poems is in the Reading List. Also, you might be interested in how unitarian Emerson and Catholic Chesterton compare.

Here's my short list of living, conformist politicians: Biden, Obama, Clinton, Bergoglio. Here's my shorter list of living, nonconformist clergy: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Father James Mawdsley. 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. YouTuber Anthony Stine's headline: Francis issues new document while the world watches the sky. Uh-huh. I'd rather look at the sky. I am free of that man.
I call this Southern romance, cuz Flannery says it is. What do you call it? I want to know. Mr. Shiftlet made the girl a married woman and left her innocent. Did he do right?
Word Daily says vulgate means means common or colloquial word. Flannery read the Vulgate. I guess that means the Vulgate Bible was written in common or colloquial words. I can't ask her cuz she's gone on to her reward for writing what is. Listen for Catholic symbols. Not seeing what was seen and learned at 13. Manners are as important as the faith itself. I have never heard a priest give a homily on manners. That is woeful. Did Judas kiss Christ? If you still think that was the first, your imagination is driving dangerously close to a cliff. Summarized.
At a formal dinner, bread of any kind is to be eaten with the courses. The correct way is to break off a small piece and butter it. Continue to butter one bite at a time. You were hungry to know that.
Stanley is positively heroic. The main reason I posted his video is so that you can see the percentages, which indicate acceptance rates. The lower, the harder. His SAT was 1550, 800 on math and 750 on English. BTW Stanford is looking for a 1500 min, and still he got rejected. Amazing extracurriculars, and waitlisted or rejected by many, Superhero Stanley. Safeties are colleges that accept most applicants. One of my best friends in high school had a 1350 on the SAT and got into Yale. Today Asian boys and white boys face apartheid, and that's a fact. One of my boys is white and math inclined, the other Asian and English inclined, and I'm going to work my ass off ever harder. Promise.

Sed impulsu aurae serenae Tantae cito oblita poenae In dilecta Dulcia tecta Gaudi ridet haud avara. 17. Aria "Tossed by a treacherous wind" Tossed by the treacherous wind in its long flight, the wandering sad swallow goes weeping, unaware of good. But pushed by a fair breeze, suddenly forgetting such sorrow, in its delightfully tender nest. Before any translation I heard anguish. I had a dream in my teens.
It was a pleasant day. My family was aboard a Spanish galleon manned by sailors. Suddenly, a storm approached. The sky grew dark, and a whirlpool lay ahead. The ship was sucked into the melee. Death was certain. We were thrown out of the whirlpool at the other end. All the sailors were missing. Land was a short distance away. It was black, and the edge of the mountain running the length of the picture was backlit by bright light. The current took us to the land, and we disembarked. A steep, straight stone staircase guided us through a black forest on either side, not so dark that I could not see tree branches that would poke out an eye if it were not for the light over the mountain. The stones led us to the wooden staircase of a mansion, lit up inside and easily viewable with one side of the house removed. We ascended the stairs to the top and looked left, down a long, balustraded hallway with three closed doors on the right. I knew my mission was to reach the end of the hallway and the closed door that was there. I opened it. Inside was an endless chasm filled with fire, and on the opposite endless wall was Christ in fresco. I knew instantly that I had to jump across the chasm through the fire and cling to Him with my fingernails. I turned, and my family was gone. I walked to the first door and opened it, and therein were my two sisters and mother, one seated, the other two standing, crying. I asked, “What is the matter?” They said, “It’s impossible.” I said, “No, it isn’t. Follow me.” Out the door I went and back to the fire. I gathered every ounce of courage I had and prepared to jump. I looked back for the courage the women could give me. I looked at Christ. It ended. The practice of veiling changed my view. You only know only because I say so. My soul is invisible, revealed some in the blog, but, as Aquinas said about his eight million words, they are straw...to be looked at and burned. In this painting nothing is veiled, except its reality. Nicola Verlato, A Whiter Shade of Pale, 2012-13
From the curator Verlato’s work is video-game-meets-high-Baroque; he uses 3D animation technology to assist in the drawing preparation of his fantastical scenes that he paints in oils. Here we have the transformation of Michael Jackson. The little boy is trampled underfoot while three Michaels of varying ages struggle to reach for the pinnacle of Death. The forest animals look on in both amazement and disinterest. The gnarly twisting tree and swirl of bodies remind us of Bernini’s statues of Persephone or Apollo and Daphne, while the orange glow in the background suggests other worldly forces. What I see It's no accident that there is a double halo around the skull. It suggests two deaths: that of the soul and that of the body. https://narrativepainting.net/nicola-verlato-a-whiter-shade-of-pale-2012-13/ Google trends that were published yesterday show that there is more interest in learning how to draw than learning how to boil eggs: 61% said draw, and 39% said eggs. Promising?

From Wyzant’s Dan Meyer Questions you’ll hear human tutors ask: · What have you tried so far? · Can I see your work? · What’s on your paper? · How far can you go here? · Where did you get stuck? · How did your teacher explain it in class? · What have you been up to since our last session? Questions you’ll see AI chatbot tutors ask: · Do you know the first step here? https://danmeyer.substack.com/p/five-differences-between-human-and For a student matriculating in a regular school, be sure to ask what grade he/she is getting. Know how it is calculated and discuss. Grades and tests are measurements of success. One of two students comes to me via Wyzant. In September 2019 … Bergé led a group of LREM members who advocated for a bioethics law extending to homosexual and single women free access to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) under France’s national health insurance; it was one of the campaign promises of President Emmanuel Macron and marked the first major social reform of his five-year term.
In October 2020, Bergé was one of 48 LREM members who voted in support of a bill introduced by the Ecology Democracy Solidarity parliamentary group that would extend the legal deadline for abortion from 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy; at the time of the vote, she took a public stand based on her own experience with abortion. See – it’s all connected. Thank you, Wikipedia, for the information. I understand the reason why schools ban Wikipedia, and I just sent you a small donation. IVF As a general rule of thumb, at RMA, an embryology lab, about 80 percent of eggs will fertilize (day 1) [in a dish, not the womb], and of those, about 30-50 percent will make it to the blastocyst stage (day 5 or 6). It is perfectly clear why a 'homosexual' woman needs IVF. Junked these words I have, yet they are still necessary to converse. A child (pick your pronoun, ha-ha) still needs care. If you don't like my words or images, or others' words that appear on my website, report me. I've made a lot of sacrifices for my Liege Lord and others, and maybe you are real small and can't handle me. Father Matthieu Raffray, I.B.P., 45, see realist, was reported to the police for a homily given during Lent, and Aurore Bergé, 37, French politician who has been serving as Minister for Gender Equality and Fight against discriminations in the government of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal since January 2024, took action, saying Raffray's words were 'discrimination' and 'intolerable'. What did Raffray say? "We all have weaknesses, the one who is hot-tempered, the one who has homosexual tendencies. All the sins, all the vices that can exist in humanity and against which we fight." Her surname means bank (of a river), mud.
November 2021 A Letter from Chile: Surviving the Post-Conciliar Wasteland (written by a 20-year-old) “The situation is similar in other countries in Latin America. For example it is no secret how the Mexican hierarchy is persecuting the FSSP which is trying to establish itself in Mexico.[5] In the Caribbean, Father Sixto Eduardo Varela Santamaría in Costa Rica was suspended and sent by his Bishop to a psychiatric hospital for moderately attempting the ‘Reform of the Reform’ in his Parish.[6] (Tradition is a mental disease for the hierarchy.) “And this inquisitorial persecution has just worsened after Traditionis Custodes, especially in Costa Rica were Traditionalists were 'mercied' to death by their Bishops. Nevertheless, in places like Mexico, Perú, and Argentina, the traditional faith lives on even without the Latin Mass—it is burned into the heart of every mestizo race by Our Lady of Guadalupe, Empress of the Americas.” … [2] Cardinal Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa was appointed by Pope Francis in 2013 to the Council of Cardinal Advisors. He was forced to resign in 2018 as he was being investigated for sexual abuse cover up. His successor as Archbishop of Santiago, Ricardo Ezzati Andrello (who was made a Cardinal by Pope Francis in 2014), was also involved and forced to resign, and Juan Barros Madrid who was made Bishop of Osorno by Pope Francis was also forced to resign for his direct involvement in sexual abuse. Trying to protect them, the Pope personally dismissed as false the accusations when he came to Chile. But when these accusations were sadly proven to be true, the extremely close collaboration of the Pope with these three Bishops harmed greatly the reputation of the Church. https://onepeterfive.com/a-letter-from-chile-surviving-the-post-conciliar-wasteland/ I saw a 9/10/2018 YT video of the FSSP in Chile. I looked at the FSSP website, and Chile was not listed. It required no imagination to deduce they were filleted. If you are Catholic and still think Bergoglio (Jesuit) is legit, well then, take a gander at these masked, housebreaking stonecutters (Jesuits) slaying Mass without a crucifix. You may ask how I find dung eaters. In the hours one thing leads to another. I do it for you. And I get questioned why I hang out with young people. Answered. Stop asking me why. I don't answer to anyone but Almighty God.

Panis Angelicus Fit panis hominum Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum O res mirabilis Manducat Dominum Pauper, pauper servus et humilis Pauper, pauper servus et humilis (rhyme) Bread of Angels It becomes the bread of men The heavenly bread gives the figures a border O wonderful thing Let the Lord eat Poor, poor servant and lowly Poor, poor servant and lowly Did all but the last two saints read Latin? If you are not a realist (or romantic, says Flannery O'Connor), you are not Catholic. If you are not Catholic, you are unreal. I have a young friend thinking about religious life, so I sent him this. Echoing what Flannery said, no priest can tell me when or where to go to church. The only time he can tell me what to do is in the confessional, and no lay person can direct me ever on anything. I'm as qualified as anybody to teach You Catholicism. I've got more than half a century of screwing up my life and Him telling me so, and that's twice as long, though I love them, as the average age shared by my priests. I give credit to Mother Angelica for one thing: she read a Bible story and in between the lines, in my case the online Douay-Rheims or the Roman Missal. If you can't see between lines, you are not absorbing. I had an aunt who told me she never read any fiction, only nonfiction, because she wanted to read about real things. She is dead, so I can say what a cryin' shame. I am a man. I know it, but others have torn it down. 11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. 13 Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such. 15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence. 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.

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. Jonas Salk first tested his experimental killed-virus polio vaccine on himself and his family in 1953 and a year later on 1.6 million children in Canada, Finland, and the USA. The results were announced on April 12, 1955, and Salk's inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. My family received the Sabin vaccine voluntarily in 1962 by letting a pink sugar cube dissolve in our mouths twice at a public high school in San Francisco. There were lists, but I do not recall penalties. Voluntariness is an American thing, or was. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/polio-vaccine-trials-begin Adobe stock
The Latin Mass is literary. The other is not. While reading the Latin in the Roman Missal, I feel like I am thinking in the language of the apostles and having a conversation with them. You can get communion and confession but nothing else in the New Order. Even non-Catholics recognized that back in 1971 when they signed the letter that resulted in the Agatha Christie Indult. I do not believe that any Catholic could consider himself to be literary, musical, and artistic and attend such a thing, and God speaks in those three ways.
https://georgiabulletin.org/commentary/2022/10/queen-elizabeth-ii-british-catholicism-and-the-agatha-christie-indult/ Recently my will got some guts. Latin Mass Catholicism can be just as stifling as the Rondo's. Thanks to mama and papa daddy I have used every one of Eudora's idioms. We played Casino and Old Maid. Normal is school. My nana went to San Francisco Normal, which later became SF State College, later SF State University, name changes signifying zip.
Whyyy Caaatholic? Someone asked. I said to Him, “Yes, I think I’d like some of that.” Do I accept submissions for the website? Yes, “Catholicism in Spain” was one such. If it is a written piece, I might edit, with your permission first. A submission can be a recording if Weebly, my provider, accepts the format, such as an MP4 or YouTube. A thumbnail is nice, too.
lyrics: [Intro] Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, God must hate me" 'Cause he spent so much time on them And for me, he got lazy? [Verse 1] Got ample mental illness, personality flaws While their only flaw seems to be that they have none at all [Refrain] Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, God must hate me"? [Chorus] I'll let Him take accountability For everything that's wrong with me Can't hold myself responsible So I blame the metaphysical If Jesus died for all our sins He left one behind, the body I'm in Same hands that made the moon and the stars Got carpal tunnel and forgot some parts I don't know what I believe But it's easier to think He made a mistake with me [Verse 2] Do you ever see someone and think, "Wow, they got lucky"? The craftsmanship of their bones, their brain, and their body When I look into the mirror for too long it hurts They don't track how many steps it takes to burn off dessert [Refrain] Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, they got lucky"? |
