Explanation: What type of cloud is that? This retreating cumulonimbus cloud, more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it contains the unusual bumpiness of a mammatus cloud on the near end, while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end. Taken in mid-2013 in southern Alberta, Canada, the cloud is moving to the east, into the distance, as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera.

Anthony Bus C.R., pastor of St. Stanislaus KostkaLetter to Bishop Robert Lombardo on “Ad Orientem” MassJanuary 13, 2022Dear Bishop Lombardo,Thank you for consulting the Archbishop regarding my request for permission to offer the Holy Sacrifice, “Ad Orientem.” I will comply with his directive that this is forbidden in his Archdiocese.Even so, the Archbishop does not provide evidence that “Ad Orientem” was abrogated at the Second Vatican Council.
