• Today, March 24th, marks 551 years since the death of Simon of Trent, a two-year-old child whose case became one of the most famous - and controversial - in Church history. • Trent, 1475. Little Simon disappears on Holy Thursday. His body is found on Easter Sunday in a water channel beneath the property of Samuel, the leader of the local Jewish community. The city erupts. • Under torture, 15 members of the Jewish community confessed to having murdered Simon to use his blood in Passover rituals - the classic "blood libel". All were burned at the stake. • The Bishop of Trent, Johannes Hinderbach, immediately promoted the cult of the "martyr." Rome hesitated: Pope Sixtus IV sent a commissioner to investigate and ordered the proceedings suspended. But popular pressure was immense. • In 1588, Sixtus V formally beatified Simon. The cult flourished for nearly five centuries: relics, annual processions, paintings, sermons. Trent celebrated him every year on March 24th. • On October 28, 1965 - the same day Paul VI promulgated Nostra Aetate, the conciliar declaration on relations with non-Christians - the Archbishop of Trent officially abolished the cult. The relics were removed and the body buried in an unknown location. • The suppression of the cult fits within the spirit of Vatican II, particularly the rejection of the collective charge of deicide against the Jewish people. Nostra Aetate marks a turning point in the Church's relationship with Judaism, and Simon's case was an uncomfortable symbol.

@FuriousKK @muhracisms @joaosilveiraaa In other words, brits made up some bullshit, and the Italians copied them with the same bullshit. Not to mention that mixing blood with Passover bread would automatically make it non kosher and couldn't be eaten

@FuriousKK @muhracisms @joaosilveiraaa Lol, people lose blood when they die, especially from drowning, being "pierced" is irrelevant given that said marks can come from a plethora of methods, from rocks in the river to wildlife.

@AnishA_Moonka On one hand im impressed reading this. On the other hand I'm thinking of all the bullshit and turmoil here on earth and all the pissing about in space 🙄

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred. Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads. So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks. The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034. Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt. These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it. A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

@andrewvitu @AnishA_Moonka Big difference between earth machinery and sending an object and successfully landing it on mars, not to mention the rover is a huge success, its lasted far longer than its originally mission timeline you cant say that about most machinery

@AnishA_Moonka We've had wheels on heavy machinery (non train) for like 120years & we've had iron rims on chariots since the Roman's. No one has ever seen soft metal tread work. Complete lunacy to put this on a billion dollar buggy headed for Mars. Engineering give yourselves an uppercut!

@CuriosityonX As a Redneck, I can honestly say that those tires are good for another 10 years, easily.

@muhracisms @joaosilveiraaa Lol cite your sources, and not some skizo website but from actual historical and academic sources Also if these "evil jews" did kill him, why leave his body in their basement out in the open and not say burry or otherwise get rid of the body?

@pebblesfluf2 @joaosilveiraaa he was drained of all his blood...you saying that happened by accident? also: all throughout history jews have done this as confirmed from unrelated sources across 15 centuries and they were rightfully expelled FROM EVERY PLACE THEY EVER LIVED.

We need to talk about Devil's Tower, Wyoming... Did you know that a massive ROOT SYSTEM was discovered under it via seismic readings? Confirmed: This is NOT a rock formation. It's a gigantic, ancient, petrified TREE 🤯🌲 Follow up question: Who—or what—cut this thing down? 😳

@catholic_red Basically while the church and evangelicals are both pro life, thats were it ends though. And now evangelicals are moving on not just catholics but mainline protestants

@facetedcarapace Dude, the most liberal state, California, still has legal child marriage, also leftists in the state legislature fought against legislation that would make sex trafficking of children a serious felony

@FenixAmmunition @JordanEVGuy I love the speech about green energy that BBT gives about how much energy goes into building and manufacturing a wind turbine. And how they cost way more energy to produce than what they actually do produce

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV enrages MAGA by boldly calling for aerial bombardment to be BANNED FOREVER as Trump carries out a bombing campaign of mass murder in Iran. This kind of moral leadership is utterly foreign to Republicans... “Airplanes should always be carriers of peace, never of war. No one should be afraid that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky,” Leo stated during a meeting with Italian airline ITA Airways. “After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombings should have been banned for ever. Instead, they still exist, and technological development, positive in itself, is being placed at the service of war. This is not progress, it is regression," he added. While he didn't mention Trump by name, the reference was clear. Trump began his illegal war against the people of Iran by blowing up a girl's school, killing at least 175 innocent people. The American and Israeli terror campaign has continued apace, targeting civilian buildings and crucial oil infrastructure in an ever-escalating series of war crimes. Pope Leo has not been shy about condemning the war. This past weekend he once again called for a ceasefire and decried the suffering and death inflicted by the conflict as a "scandal to the whole human family." “We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, the defenseless victims of these conflicts. What hurts them hurts the whole of humanity,” said Leo. “I strongly renew my appeal for us to persevere in prayer, so that hostilities may cease and the way may finally be paved for peace.” As it so often is after Pope Leo says something anathema to MAGA, social media is now abuzz with Republicans calling him a "communist" and demanding that he shut his mouth. Meanwhile, those same conservatives are incapable of even explaining why Trump is waging this war — unsurprising since Trump himself is constantly changing his story. For our money, we'll side with Pope Leo. Please ❤️ and share to thank the pope!
