These [PPXII] papal assertions cannot be said to settle the question. The issue is a debate between different schools of Catholic theology that lasted for centuries. Both sides of this debate were strongly argued for at an ecumenical council, the Council of Trent,[16] and no agreement was arrived at. It is a question of the first importance that concerns the fundamental structure of the Church. In order to end a dispute of this kind by a magisterial intervention, such an intervention must clearly describe the question, express the intention of settling it, specify the position being taught, and make it clear that the teaching is binding on all Catholics. Of the texts cited above, only the encyclical Mystici corporis could satisfy these criteria

Vox Cantoris vs. Aqua

The Catholic Monitor commenter Aqua had this to say to the Vox Cantoris website: Aqua said… Fred, your topic here reminds me of a dust-up, a few days ago, on Vox Cantoris. He asserted that it is our duty as Christians to wear masks to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass if the government tells us we must, or they will close our Churches. My response to him was that I find it inconceivable that an orthodox Catholic, such as himself, would ever submit to unjust dictates from secular government over how we approach Our Lord in Holy Mass. My response to him was that the Mass belongs to Catholics and we decide, within the bounds of Tradition, and in accord with the Word of Jesus, how we conduct ourselves in Holy Mass. Only one authority prevails over Mass and that is our God and the Sacred Tradition given by Him to guide us in all times and places. Understand, there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask to Mass. But there is EVERYTHING wrong with wearing a symbol...

https://coconote.app/notes/1eef4468-3436-4f1a-a3e0-605134efdd8a Overview Dr. Grace Prescott addresses nocturia—frequent nighttime urination—explaining its risks, debunking common myths, and presenting the ASIM method and supporting techniques to help reclaim uninterrupted sleep. The Problem of Nocturia Nocturia refers to waking repeatedly at night to urinate, affecting up to 70% of adults over 60. It increases the risk of falls, cognitive decline, heart strain, and emotional distress. Causes include reduced nighttime ADH hormone, decreased bladder capacity, and fluid redistribution from swollen legs. Common Myths and Mistakes Drinking less water during the day can worsen nocturia by irritating the bladder and concentrating urine. Most cases are not caused by a small bladder, but by excessive nighttime urine production. Alcohol before bed both suppresses ADH and acts as a diuretic, increasing nighttime urination and disrupting sleep quality. The ASIM Hydration Method Adjust  hydrati...

Some Reasons we should Vote for Huckabee instead of Paul

Some Reasons we should Vote for Huckabee instead of Paul Here are some reasons to get behind Huckabee from catholicsforhuckabee.blogspot.com. Fred For some reason, this year’s slot of Republicans has included a few surprisingly decent candidates, the like of which we have not seen in a long time. In fact, some of us have forgotten what a real conservative is like, after the Bushes, the Doles and the Fords. To hear candidates seriously discussing concepts like eliminating the IRS, and giving more than lip service to the pro-life cause, would have been inconceivable in the last presidential election. However, some hard choices are going to have to be made and soon if we conservatives don’t want someone like Romney, Guiliani or Thompson to get the GOP nomination. Like it or not, we are going to have to unite behind one conservative candidate, capable of not only disposing of phonies like Romney or Guiliani, but also of going all the way to the White House in 2008. Cong. Paul, that most ve...
