Please do not allow him or anyone to interfere with your love of Christ. PF is as flawed as any of us but your primary duty is always to love and to serve God "in spite of dungeon, fire and foe". Our Lord wants us in Church as the Commandment says so that we may grow in faith and holiness.

The tankers could not fly in the 70 plus mph winds they were having.

You have asked a great question.

Mass in Latin contributed to the Church’s universality. Everywhere in the world the Mass was the same for all. Same language, same type of music, similar vestments. All things were focused solely in the worship of Almighty God in a right and fitting manner. Chant was elegant and yet simple, it conveyed the Word of God in a melodic and meditative manner. Every vessel and vestment was as beautiful as man could make it and was used solely for the Glory of God. The churches were as beautiful as humanly possible to honor and glorify Our Creator and King.
That has not always been the case since Vatican ll. People yearn for authentic worship and a real chance to focus on Our Savior, and so some seek out the Latin Mass with its structure, universality and unchanging nature.

Also one language undid the punishment of Babel and any exorcist will tell you that the Devil hates Latin.

That section of RPV has been sliding since before I was born. It has been relatively stable for some years but the last couple of years with heavy rain, well, nature does what it does.

A marriage would not be allowed during Lent, except, perhaps, for unusual circumstances. Funerals are, for obvious reasons, done during Lent except for Holy Week. That said, what happened the other day was an outrage.

Those who arranged it lied to the person who arranges funerals for St Patrick’s.

I know someone who teaches in a smaller classic Catholic school . The boys are taught to honor the girls, open doors for them,etc. The girls are taught to be ladies. They actually learn to read and write and no drag queens.

Bernard signed a safe pass for our Uncle who was OSS. Uncle was parachuted in and made his way to the Free Dutch because he knew Primce Bernard before the war since his dad worked for the royal family.

Nice shots of old Santa Rosa.

This is a once in a lifetime event you must not miss. Contact your congressmember, there are people at State who do nothing but answer passport complaints submitted via congressmembers. This is your best bet.

Prayers for your entire family, I am so sorry.

While I agree this is a dumb idea, it is not inside of the Basilica but elsewhere within the State of Vatican City.

El Cerrito actually. EC, then Albany, finally Berkeley.

Thank you for posting, will pray for the repose of his soul and for those who persecuted him.

My deepest condolences, I lost DH in April after 31 years. Everyday hurts. The paperwork is horrendous. Though you are shy, make a plan to do something small everyday, even if it is just a short walk. Make a bigger plan for the near future, like flying out to visit your daughter. Cry when you are alone and treasure her memory. One small step at a time. Best wishes and prayers.

We have a similar situation, as long as DH works, we just use his insurance, when he retires we move to Medicare.

He used to have a tugboat in the marina, that’s how we met. Awful story.

I actually know Curtis and am sorry this happened to him.

Please be careful, my 9 yo niece had the family pet corso take a nip at her face for no reason, she is OK. This dog sleeps with the other niece in her bed every night. Last week, the dog looked like it wanted some attention from dad and then took a nip from his throat. The dog is now gone, yes, there are two other dogs in the family and everything always seemed fine, they are on a ranch, not cooped up.
