Cardinal Medina Estévez drew attention to the omissions in the translation of the Novus Ordo, but far more serious are the omissions in the Novus Ordo itself. If you compare the two masses, laid out side by side, you sometimes note that the blank spaces in the new mass go on for a page.
My thesis last week was that the ambition to create world caliphates on the part of groups or regimes with totalitarian methods and aims often breaks on strategic mistiming, of which the invasions of Israel and Ukraine are examples currently in the news. Peace, peace, peace is the war by which the West is won, whereas those who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
In our latest in the 1990-present day segment of this series, Dr. Fleming gives his take on the iconic 1993 Tombstone, very popular among Gen-X men. Homework for the next episode is The Last Samurai.
The end of a war often is the nastiest part. Look at the Afghanistan fiasco just over two years ago. Or the helicopters lifting off from the U.S. Embassy in Saigon in 1975, followed by the exodus of the Boat People…. Which is why the Ukraine War, as it enters its final phase, could get nasty.

Contemplative inaction, as the gentle reader may be reminded by the calls to patience back in the days when he was a boisterous child, is of the essence. But then, when at last the fish takes the bait, it’s dexterous action that is of the essence, with the angler jerking his rod at just the right moment to set the hook and eventually landing the catch in the hand net.
In only 130 pages of terse prose, Aldicott surveys outlines the general policy of Union Terror, the war crimes committed by Union troops, and the false justifications offered by apologists for terror.
One systemic problem, which the reformers tried to correct, (without conspicuous success) is the oversimplified syntax and avoidance of complex sentences. The English translation is childish and simplified–a series of simple sentences, which lack the dignity and grandeur of the Latin
Latin is not a magic bullet that will kill the demons destroying Christendom. But it is a fact that so long as the literate classes of Europe and North America were brought up learning Latin, writers knew how to write clearly and effectively, and even ordinary people who had studied 4 years of Latin were more open to logical argument, more interested in truth than educated people are today
Christie disgusting. With Trump’s support at 60% and most of the other 40% in the GOP thinking the legal cases against Trump are bogus, it’s ludicrous for Christie to base his whole campaign on validating the charges.
