    Scytl’s own literature shows that they housed servers in Barcelona and Frankfurt.

    See “scytl european parliament election night reporting 2019 pdf” at https://www.scytl.com/en/resource/european-parliament-elections-2019-success-case/

    pg. 3: “To guarantee the success of this project, Scytl’s team began prepar-ing nine months in advance. Over this time, we conducted 3 sepa-rate trial runs, 5 user acceptance tests, and we set up the data collection center in Barcelona, as well as an emergency back-up center in Frankfurt.”

  • Navy ends Catholic Masses at bases

    Priests in ordinary parishes are sorely lacking as it is. The local parish has only one priest for thousands of families. The parish recently added an extra mass in Spanish as well. That priest has to say all those masses, and hear confessions, perform weddings, funerals, visit the sick, manage the parish, etc..... Now you want him to go out to Coronado on top of that?

    Christopher Marlowe to Albion Wilde

    St Thomas Aquinas fleshed out the scriptures on this very topic in Summa Theologica, III, Q 54.
    Article 1. Whether Christ had a true body after His Resurrection?
    Answer: (Luke 24:37) that when Christ appeared to His disciples “they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit,” as if He had not a true but an imaginary body: but to remove their fears He presently added: “Handle and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see Me to have.”
    [I]n order for it to be a true resurrection, it was necessary for the same body of Christ to be once more united with the same soul. And since the truth of the body’s nature is from its form it follows that Christ’s body after His Resurrection was a true body, and of the same nature as it was before.

    Article 2. Whether Christ’s body rose glorified?
    Answer: (Philippians 3:21): “He will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of His glory.” (Luke 24:37) that when Christ appeared to His disciples “they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit,” as if He had not a true but an imaginary body: but to remove their fears He presently added: “Handle and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see Me to have.”

    Article 3. Whether Christ’s body rose again entire?
    Answer: (Luke 24:39) while addressing His disciples after the Resurrection: “A spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see Me to have.” Christ’s body in the Resurrection was “of the same nature, but differed in glory.” Accordingly, whatever goes with the nature of a human body, was entirely in the body of Christ when He rose again. Now it is clear that flesh, bones, blood, and other such things, are of the very nature of the human body. Consequently, all these things were in Christ’s body when He rose again; and this also integrally, without any diminution; otherwise it would not have been a complete resurrection, if whatever was lost by death had not been restored. Hence our Lord assured His faithful ones by saying (Matthew 10:30): “The very hairs of your head are all numbered”: and (Luke 21:18): “A hair of your head shall not perish.”

    Article 4. Whether Christ’s body ought to have risen with its scars?
    Answer: Our Lord said to Thomas (John 20:27): “Put in thy finger hither, and see My hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into My side, and be not faithless but believing.” He kept His scars not from inability to heal them, “but to wear them as an everlasting trophy of His victory.” Hence Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xxii): “Perhaps in that kingdom we shall see on the bodies of the Martyrs the traces of the wounds which they bore for Christ’s name: because it will not be a deformity, but a dignity in them; and a certain kind of beauty will shine in them, in the body, though not of the body.”

    It seems that our glorified bodies will be human bodies, but incorruptable and perfect. The exception may be the saints who suffered for Christ, as their wounds will not be ugly, but marks of exceptional beauty.
