Word For The Day, Tuesday September 1, 2015
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
flumadiddle [fluhm-uh-did-l, fluhm-uh-did-l]
-n
1. utter nonsense.
2. worthless frills.
[1840-50, Americanism; apparently flum(mery) + -a- unstressed linking vowel + diddle2]
Come and get it.
Tuesday.
more coffee ... brb
Morning.
While attempting to learn drums, I did 100 flumadiddles in a row...I guess it’s not my instrument.

I dropped my violin down the stairs ... dlumafiddle won’t play any more.
Grandbaby and I just heard the latest flumadiddle from pope Frank. How is this news/different? Priests since the time of Christ have been empowered to forgive ANY sin, no matter how heinous, if there is true repentance. How is he conferring anything they weren’t already able to do?
It isn’t.
That said, I commented to some people on Twitter taking great offense to this. Believe it or not, repentance and forgiveness is our thing.
Hard to know if it’s Frank making it a thing or the media looking to make it seem the church is ameliorating its abortion stance.
Who knows? I didn’t see anything in his statements that bothered me. Or that was new.
Seething pot of frothy spittle,
She who spouts all flumadiddle,
A granny aged witch,
With campaign in the ditch,
Whilst she carelessly huma-diddles.
Just had that same discussion after mass with another Catholic. The Pope is a foolish lightweight and so are all the reporters reporting on this. His visit will drive me nuts, I fear.
He’s going to be on 20/20?? I have since read that he’s doing away with the requirement of getting a bishop to approve the absolution. I wasn’t aware of that requirement but it seems unnecessary to me. Priests should be able to ascertain sincere repentance and give absolution regardless of the sin, IMO.
Bishops could always delegate, or set up programs like Project Rachel for this purpose.
I do see a difference between consumers of abortion (often young, ignorant, scared, coerced) and providers. The latter should have more scrutiny, but again it’s not unforgivable if repentance is there.
Jag off!!
You’re just jealous that you ain’t as clever as me. ;-)
There is a thread somewhere with info. Sounds like they left out info.
