On the one hand, good. and fast! wow. That story came out less than a day ago.
On the other hand, another Hispanic statue gone from the public square. Hope they replace it with a generic Latino farmworker.

Ha. Interesting.
I think of the famous meeting between George Lucas and Joseph Campbell, of heroes of a thousand faces fame. They met at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF, which was where the US' physical frontier ended, and its digital/financial one began. What did they talk about

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

Come to think of it that woman saying Catholics need to dress nicer during Lent....I dunno man, miss me with that?
This is sackcloth and ashes season. And I've got a lot to repent for. Me personally and as an American.

@VeritasLucia I was glad the algorithm showed it to me and I prayed it too and I’m happy I saw it in your language. It’s beautiful in Italian too
English
@_CatholicWest Yes, I’m sorry about that but I pray in Italian.
I could not leave those words he said without prayers underneath, I felt sick just writing them.
In this case it’s not very similar to Latin. Many of our words are similar, it just depends.
English
Amen
I translated it back to Italian to see how similar it is to Latin which I memorized last year. Not very! Nor is Spanish

Ave, o Maria, piena di grazia, il Signore è con te. Tu sei benedetta fra le donne e benedetto è il frutto del tuo seno, Gesù. Santa Maria, Madre di Dio, prega per noi peccatori, adesso e nell'ora della nostra morte. Amen.

@_CatholicWest Infrequent bathing was a penitential practice. Ch. 36 of St. Benedict's _Rule for Monks_ says that bathing should not be a frequent indulgence for healthy, young monks to avoid fostering laziness or over-indulgence in comfort.
English
further to @thewaronbeauty post about Catholics needing to dress better, it's not well known, but in the mission period, many California natives were rather offended by the odor of the Franciscan padres. If the padres had bathed better, might have gotten more volunteer converts

The war on Iran is a school shooting raised to the level of official US foreign policy. No pretense of a rational goal. Just murdering children for lulz and then committing suicide in hopes of going to Hell. Pete Hegseth is the same person as Dylan Klebold, just on a bigger stage
English
@_CatholicWest Not well known? Maybe to white folks..
My spouse tells me all the time that my ancestors didn't bathe 😆

@_CatholicWest Valuing beauty is good, but“valuing” death spirals into “idealizing.” Christ is the leper, the disfigured veteran, the smelly homeless woman. A moral system that sees beauty as inherently good rather than using it as a tool for good is disordered (and unironically fascist).
