Yes, the Spanish philosopher and historian Ramón Menéndez Pidal did write a book in 1963, titled "The History of the Indies", which, as some scholars note, was largely devoted to arguing that Bartolomé de las Casas was clinically paranoid, and therefore, "crazy". 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Menéndez Pidal's Work:
    In 1963, Menéndez Pidal published a book, "The History of the Indies", which, as Poole notes, was largely devoted to arguing that Las Casas was clinically paranoid and therefore crazy. 
  • Las Casas's Advocacy:
    Bartolomé de las Casas was a Spanish Dominican friar who became a vocal advocate for the indigenous peoples of the Americas during the Spanish colonial period. 
  • Pidal's Counter-Narrative:
    Menéndez Pidal, however, presented a counter-narrative, suggesting that Las Casas's concerns about the treatment of indigenous populations were rooted in paranoia and not in genuine concern for their well-being. 
  • Scholarly Debate:
    This view of Las Casas has been subject to considerable scholarly debate, with some scholars arguing that Pidal's interpretation is overly dismissive of Las Casas's historical significance and the severity of the abuses he witnessed.

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...
