"Father Bernard, I want you to reassure me, and then I will be certain! In a vision two years ago I saw you as a man able to stare at the sun without flinching, a courageous man. And I wept because I blush so much - because I am so timid! Good Father, through your kindness I have found a place in your soul, so that now, if you will, you can reveal to me through your word whether you want me to say these things openly or whether I should keep quiet."
[HILDEGARD OF BINGEN was born into a noble family in Bermersheim in 1098. At the age of eight her family gave her into the care of a religious noblewoman, Jutta of Spanheim, who took Hildegard with her to become a recluse at the Disibodenberg monastery. Some time between 1112 and 1115, when the monastery became a convent, Hildegard took religious vows. After Jutta’s death in 1136, Hildegard was elected abbess at Disibodenberg. At this time she started to write about the visions she had been experiencing. Her first work, Scivias, appeared with Papal approval in 1151, just after she had established her own religious community at Rupertsberg, near Bingen. Her collection of religious songs, the Symphonia, appeared in 1158. She then produced a number of other works, including The Book of Life’s Merits (c. 1163), The Book of Divine Works (c. 113), lives of local saints, and various musical, scientific and medical works. She also invented a private language, which formed the basis of two short …More
At today's press conference, Tucho was asked if his document on monogamy also applies to two homosexuals in a stable relationship. He replied that the Church considers marriage to be an exclusive union between a man and a woman. But: "That does not mean that there are no values in other contexts and that what we say here cannot also apply to other forms of unions. When we talk about patience, respect, etc., that also applies to relationships between friends and other forms of relationship."
“Eminenza, vorrei sapere: questo documento, per persone dello stesso sesso che vivono unioni di monogamia… Sono esclusi da Una carne?” Tucho: “Quello non vuol dire che in altri contesti non ci siano dei valori, no? E che quello che diciamo qua non possa servire anche ad altre forme di unioni. Quando si parla della pazienza, del rispetto, eccetera eccetera, quello vale anche per un rapporto tra amici, vale per altre forme di rapporto.”
Sweden’s public broadcaster edited President Donald Trump's January 6 speech in a way that misrepresented his message, much as the BBC has been accused of doing, the Kvartal newspaper has reported. SVT, which is publicly funded, edited footage of Trump’s 2021 speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., omitting key moments where he called on supporters to behave “peacefully and patriotically,” according to Swedish outlet Kvartal. Newsweek has contacted SVT via email for comment. With the White House in the background, President Donald Trump speaks at a rally on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) Why it Matters Kvartal's investigation into SVT parallels criticism recently faced by the BBC over similar edits in a Panorama documentary, which led to a public apology and resignations from the U.K. public broadcaster’s leadership. What To Know The edited segment, part of the broadcaster’s 2024 coverage of the January 2021 riots at the United States Capitol…

I read an interesting article that explains why praise harms children. She points to one professor whose twenty-five years of experience and over 50,000 hours of conversation has led him to conclude that “praising a child as ‘clever’ may not help her at school. In fact, it might cause her to under-perform.” Yet modern child psychology, educational theories, children’s literature, and the average parent operate on the basic assumption that a child’s self-esteem depends on a great deal of praise. Praise for a picture well-drawn! Praise for kicking the ball at soccer practice! Praise for train town well-built! Praise for eating dinner! But as it turns out, a child praised as “clever” may react by becoming afraid to try. Why? According to Professor Grosz, if that child has already shown herself to be “the best,” then what else is there except the looming possibility of failure, of doing less than the best? The child may, Grosz says, “simply repeat the same work—why draw something …
I think this is nonsense. Yes, it probably can be overdone, but praise can give confidence to a child to expand even further. Continual criticism causes much more harm.

After eight years of Vatican oversight and stalled reforms, and the unexpected delay in accepting their commissioner’s resignation, the Vatican must decide on the heralds of the gospel. 2017: Opening of apostolic visitation The Brazil-based group was accepted as 'Pontifical Association' by Pope John Paul II in 2001. In 2017, Pope Francis initiated an apostolic visitation against them, conducted by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life. At this stage, according to their documentation, no formal list of charges or specific reasons for the visitation was communicated to them. Parallel to this, various civil and canonical complaints were filed against the heralds. In the years that followed, more than thirty of these cases were resolved through acquittal or archival in both civil and ecclesiastical tribunals. 2019: Appointment of the commissioner In September 2019, after reviewing the results of the visitation, Francis appointed Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis, Archbishop …More
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes American Health Insurance is legalized racketeering. It’s a scam American doctor calls the hospital to get self pay pricing for a patient for pregnancy care -Hospital response: “If they're self-pay, they give them a package price which would include the delivery and all of the services that they might need during the nine-month period” -Doctor “If you could give me the package price? -” Hospital “$5,730.37 and this is for a routine vaginal delivery with pre and post care in the hospital.” -Doctor “Okay, so does that cover like the hospital facility fee or is that just the OBGYN group fee?” - Hospital “It is both. It includes all of it” Insurance pricing would be 2-3x+ this cost
