"better than religious people understand religion"

The reason why Soviets insisted, one must believe Heliocentrism and Evolution, from Oparin's Abiogenesis on, and religious people have said "oh, you can believe ..." and they will lump it together, perhaps excluding Abiogenesis, as "the Science" ...

10:03 Are fellows in your Church judging me by that criterium?

When I'm offline, I'm offline. I have far less control over my situation offline, because I'm surrounded. But I do not check updates, because I have no apparatus to do it on. I own no phone. And if I some mornings rush back online as soon as a library or a cyber is open, it's because my offline existence is being harrassed. When I'm online, I want to be online, without people trying to "wean" me. Unfortunately, as I'm on computers that I borrow, there are people who are capable of arranging disturbances when I'm online too like preventing me from signing in again on my email.

If a mail I'm waiting for isn't checked while I can, I may need to wait to tomorrow before I see it, and that can, for some of them, be too late.

The diagnosis "internet addiction" was invented by doctors in Red China. If you are helping shrinks to control my life on the excuse of "helping me against internet addiction" you are:

• degrading my possibilities to get paid for my work
• and adding to the frustrations in my daily life.

The huge difficulty with praying the Rosary, for me, is, a certain line in Our Father. What does Our Lord mean as I forgive you guys? Yes, I also have a hard time forgiving the guys who are using you, but to them, I'm, as a Catholic intellectual, at least an adversary. In your case, you are committing treason, or if you take it very harshly that I have another Pope than you, at the very least a Communist parody on pastoral. But reworking your pastoral on Communist principles is as such treason.

The Convert Problem: When OrthoBros become OrthoBrats
Fr. Jason Charron | 21 May 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdIb8JtoEwc

Just in case you think that's where I'm coming from, no.

When I spoke of your Pope, I meant as opposed to ours that being His Holiness Michael II.

And since I returned from the Orthodox, seeing part too modernist and part too anti-Catholic and part both, Novus Ordo's have probably more than once helped their vendetta on me.

Like for saying Bishop Pablo de Ballester of Nazianzus (Ballester-Convallier) either misunderstood St. Robert Bellarmin, or lied about him, or accepted a fake translation, and lied about where he had found the quote. Like for saying his killer was probably not simply a Catholic fanatic madman. Even if they'd like that.

After getting the real quote in a library run by Dominicans, I was quickly banned from that library, probably because OrthoBros in Paris had complained about my pretended "misuse" and how unecumenical it was.

The blog posts I wrote in this connection are, on my first (of now three) main blog(s), Mystagogy posts certainly false allegation on St Robert Bellarmine · Pseudoquote identified. What De Romano Pontifice, book IV, chapter V really says (quote) · Further faults of fact in the Mystagogy post — the author of the blog Mystagogy and of the post I reacted to is one John Sanidopoulos who by now is an Orthodox priest. He has hidden the post and the blog and his profile. He has rebooted his blog and the post, which is now visible again as "Why I Abandoned Papism" by Bishop Paul Ballester-Convallier. Without my comments below it. My visit to the library, La Salchoire, is evident in the midmost of the three posts on my own first main blog.

I've Noted Some of My Readers Hate Tolkien

Apart from rumours he was a National Socialist, when in fact he quarrelled with NS censors in Germany on being asked about his "Arian purity" and went out of his way to defend the Jewish race, apart from rumours he was an Illuminato who got a special permission from their council to divulge runes, a rumour arising in the US, while in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, but also UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia, runes were at this point common knowledge both among learned people and even among school children (my mother who was born 1947 had a book on Swedish literary history which starts with runes), apart from such rumours, there are another class.

"Tolkien wrote badly, he has so many plotholes."

Not as many as Isaac Asimov ... where did Hari Seldon get the raw data to calculate his percentages of chances in psychostatistics or whatever that unreadable stuff was? ... and finding one not already answered (like the Eagles) is pretty hard. Here is a try, then my reply:

The Witch-king and The Shire Plot Hole
Darth Gandalf | 13 May 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-e2sxl-ss4

That leaves us with the answer, "The Witch King never learned about the Shire." Or in other words, he was focused on capturing Fornost and the rest of Arthodine didn't matter to him. But this would be really odd for an experienced military campaigner like the Witch King. If you're planning on conquering a kingdom, you want all the information you can possibly get your hands on. You would have spies in their lands and detailed maps.

That's supposing detailed maps existed at this point in history.

Did Frederick II of Prussia know where Appenzell was? I think that's about as close as Shire to Fornost. I don't think he knew.

Even if he loved cheese, I was just going to suggest that he might have had Tilsit cheese closer to home, and I just found out he didn't, that production started in the 19th C.

Internet allowing me to verify when Tilsit cheese started, Tilsit cheese, two things that didn't exist in Frederick II's day. A bit further back, detailed maps could be added to the list. Xenophon didn't give a detailed map of Persia and didn't have one. Even if repeatedly he says "pente parasangas" we don't know how far that is. Presumably he was less good in geography than we would be. Thror's map was not all that detailed and it was an item from the dwarves, not men.

So, I presume the Witch-King was simply as bad in geography as many Medievals would have been.

on the battle-field

A Saracen who saw a Belgian (like Geoffroy de Bouillon) on the battle-field might not know where Belgium was.

[Many of the other commenters suggested a translation issue: he never knew the Shire under that name, it was known in a different way when he was a ruler closeish by.]

Do try to make a Middle Earth plot holes series!

I predict you will find his plot holes internally are rare. The one glaring plot hole with both archaeology and Christianity is saying this is our world in a pre-Christian era, and Tolkien admitted it was "an imaginary time" a k a an Uchronia.

Will I Go to Hell If I Don’t Help Every Homeless Person?
Catholic Answers Live Clips | 13 May 2026

The good thing on your post is, you nailed it, the caller could have had a genuine call from God.

Imagine people taking that man for a drunkard and drug addict and giving him only food, and he needs to wash ... or imagine God wanted the caller to meet someone else through him or through stepping off the bus and talking to him.

But "intentionality" and Didache.

What Didache sounds to me is, like I did (despite being homeless myself, when I had money) when I took out money every day, and usually 10 or 20 € (it was 2011 or 2012). I took out the money in a bill. I changed the bill for the first thing I needed to buy. I took 1/10 (so, 1 or 2 €) and took the first possible chance to give it to someone. (It's less easy to do this when taking out once or twice a week, since beggars will be there other days too).

I was taking responsibility for myself in a goats and sheep perspective.

What you recommend is taking responsibility for the other ... in a perspective that sounds Quranic. "If someone is doing it for God, if someone is disabled, if someone is ignorant, if someone is in discomfort, if someone is your friend" ... but to no one else. Apparently. Not sure I didn't misquote, but actually Mohammed personally was better than "his god" when he spoke "do not regret it, even if you see him riding away on a horse" ...

And "addictions" ... some evil doers will try to apply a Commie Chinese diagnosis invented in 2004, "internet addict" which to someone actually writing as a kind of trade on the internet is like calling a baker an "oven heat addict" ... even to pure consumers, as an avid reader back in my youth, I'm happy they hadn't invented the term "book addict" ...

Does Jesus Still Have His Body?
Dr Taylor Marshall | 15 May 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rONXdT5F51k

Next question is obviously where is this Body of the God-Man.

"Only on the altars" is obviously wrong.

I hold, in Empyrean Heaven, above the sphere of the fix stars, probably Heavenly Jerusalem is right above the coordinates of Earthly Jerusalem.

Heliocentrics have a problem and as a consequence disunity.

An SSPX priest in St. Nicolas invoked the immortality of risen bodies as a solution. Jimmy Akin said sth like "not our three-dimensional space, but like it in respect of capacity of receiving bodies" ... the obvious solution is Geocentrism.

7:43 So, Caiaphas = Shebna, Cephas = Eliacim.

Call it replacement theology or not, at least it teaches "translatio sacerdotii" very clearly.

13:45 I sense a little pique about my position.

We would agree that Paul III (?) over Urban VIII bound in regards of banning not just putting the Sun at the absolute centre, but also having Earth move, annually or daily or both. And that they were successors of Peter, indeed given the power to bind and loose.

You would say "John Paul II" was successor of Peter and had the power to loose, and he did so in 1992. From experience, I have seen people state he went further and bound, namely in § 283 of the CCC. In 2001, I was one day a parishioner in a reverent Novus Ordo parish (I hadn't renounced SSPX, but they don't hold that "normal" curates and bishops steal authority with a non-pope, nor that the Novus Ordo is always invalid).

I was promoting my YEC position to a newer convert (after 1990, so he did promise to agree with current positions of the magisterium, even non-infallible ones, and implicitly even non-traditional ones). He told me, showing me that paragraph, that I was wrong.

In Paris, also, even before going Sede and Conclavist, while attending SSPX Masses, I met this attitude from people in "normal" parishes, like the ones hosting breakfast for homeless in St. Ambroise' parish house.

My solution is, Wojtyla was not Pope. Meaning, the office is or was empty, and if it was empty someone else could be elected. RIP, Pope Michael I. Vivat, Pope Michael II.

Q

Did Latin speaking continue after the Western Roman Empire fell? How much did later Latin speaking missionaries and colonists understand of these older lost Romani Latin dialects?
https://www.quora.com/Did-Latin-speaking-continue-after-the-Western-Roman-Empire-fell-How-much-did-later-Latin-speaking-missionaries-and-colonists-understand-of-these-older-lost-Romani-Latin-dialects/answer/Hans-Georg-Lundahl-2

Answer requested by

Nick Certeza

Hans-Georg Lundahl

Studied Latin (language) at Lund University

Ascension Day

14.V.2026

First, I don’t think there is any term like “Romani Latin”. Romani means an Indic language that came to Europe in Gipsy Caravans, a fairly Romantic, but not altogether Roman fate of a language (but they did dwell a while in East Rome, Byzantium).

You presumably mean “Romano-Latin” or “Romance Latin”.

Second, the answers are:

• yes, just as English would be spoken in the US, if the US were overthrown, however, the exception is Roman Britain, where only the upper class were really Romanised;
• I don’t know what era you mean by “later” … up to 800 AD, this was the standard way Latin was spoken, but in Gaul, comprehension by foreign priests was limited.
• Between c. 800 and 813, a foreigner was hired to teach people in Tours to speak Latin properly. Blessed Alcuin succeeded in making the Latin of the clerks comprehensible to English or Italian visitors …
• … but as a side effect, he made it incomprehensible to the people around there. Hence the decision in 813 (when Alcuin was dead) to not be content with a Gospel reading in Latin, but add a sermon explaining it, in Romance.
• This decision allowed priests to actually study how common people spoke, so as to come really close. Imagine standard English was for some reason rebooted and you suddenly had to speak to people from the Ozarks or to people using Ebonics in their very own way.
• By 880 or 890 they were so good at it, they wrote the first song in Old French, the song of St. Eulalia of Mérida.
• The same process was repeated with c. 200 years’ delay in Spain and in Italy.
• After c. 1100 in Spain or Italy, there was no dialectal Latin left that was represented by written Latin, except perhaps in the country between France and Italy. In whereever Romanian was spoken (Romania or Albania, opinions differ), there was no written Latin left. So, after 1100 or at latest 1200, there was no place left where a speaker of Medieval Ecclesiastic Latin, an Aux-Lang invented accidentally by Alcuin, would have met dialectal Latin and it would still have been written as Latin.
