Tuesday All Saints Open Comments

Today is All Saints Day, celebrated by Roman Catholics on November 1 every year. The Eastern Church celebrates All Saints on the first Sunday after Pentecost.

The day is set aside to venerate all saints and martyrs of the Church, known and unknown. In the early days of the Church, specific days could be celebrated for each of the saints, as there were relatively few. After the mass persecutions in the first couple of centuries after Christs’ crucifixion, particularly under Diocletian, the number of martyrs swelled dramatically. The sheer number and the relative obscurity of many of them led the Church to set aside one day where all could be venerated.

Boniface IV, 13 May, 609, or 610, consecrated the Pantheon in Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs, ordering an anniversary. Gregory III (731-741) consecrated a chapel in the Basilica of St. Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversary for 1 November. A basilica of the Apostles already existed in Rome, and its dedication was annually remembered on 1 May. Gregory IV (827-844) extended the celebration on 1 November to the entire Church.

More here from our friends at Wikipedia.
All you Catholics out there need to go to Mass today. All Saints Day is a Holy Day of Obligation.

    The Heritage Foundation has pulled the scab off of the so called “conservatives” in DC and has exposed the fact that the wound is much worse that it initially appeared. Here’s the Texas delegation, and as I suspected, our very own Pete Olson from CD 22, presumably one of the most conservative districts in the country, more fairly should be classed as a moderate. Take a look if you dare:

    I have made the case here our two dominant political parties and the once powerful “establishments” they represented are now fractured and fragmented.
    Rather than an organized party apparatus, the Republican and Democratic parties
    are mere shadows of their former roles as arbiters and kingmakers.

    Your comment, and the Mead article which inspired it are, in the words of another pundit, a bias masquerading as an insight. To define the “establishment” as you and Mead do is rougly analgous to saying that because we have found a treatment for the symptoms of a deadly virus that postpones death, we should act as if the virus no longer exists. To my mind, that only means waiting until the virus mutates into a treatment resistant strain before taking any further action.

    That there exist tightly bound webs representing both parties composed of campaign advisors and consultants, media managers and consultants, crisis managers, lobbyists, cronies, think tanks, and pundit palaces composed of former elected officials, staff members, bureaucrats, and paid hacks dedicated to maintaining a poltical status quo composed of atrofied incumbents and hand picked successors willing to play along cannot be denied. Attempts to define the problem otherwise, or to convince those of us who can plainly see the cancer that eats at this country is in fact a head cold, is naive at is best.

    That the “establishment” of today no longer resembles that of even 8 years ago only tells me that they are doing the same things differently.

    From the Daily Cougar.

    “Their tent space and free electricity request seems almost farcical—the protestors asked the very people they’re protesting against to help them.”

    “But watching a local news story on Occupy Houston shows rich and naive college students, bitter dropouts and homeless who aren’t organized or prepared to answer questions.”

    This story prompted at least one annoyed twit from D’oH.

    Just FYI:

    Lutherans do not have the same regard for Saints and patron Saints as in the Roman Catholic Church. The Lutheran liturgical calendar does designate days of commemoration to believers who have gone before us as examples of Christian virtue and as people of faith. Lutherans pray in the example of the Saints and pray to be likened to them in faith. Lutherans do not, however, petition to the Saints for prayer, protection or blessing.
    However, in the Lutheran Confessions, “saints” are regarded as all those who truly believe and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour. Saints are all believers on earth and in heaven, both living and dead. The dead ones do not hold a higher “position” in the Church. So therefore, all the saved earn the title of “saint” when we believe and confess that Jesus is Lord.

    So this Sunday we will be celebrating the faith and lives of all Christians that have gone on before us. Including my Mom!!!

    Yanno, it’s really sad that a buncha college kids at the UofH paper can figure all this out on their own, especially when you consider the conventional wisdom that sez that they should be the ones most naturally aligned with the “occupiers”.

    Well done, UofH.

    It was determined years ago that this was the drain plug that allowed the planet to be deflated and put away for storage.

    😀

    I just returned from Mass a little while ago. Our school had a “parade of saints”. It was so cute to see all the little kids in their saint costumes. After the homily, some of them got up to tell us about their saint. It was painful. Many of them were so shy and/or unprepared, so all I could hear was a mumbled “mhasmmmlalommo” in the microphone. Then we got to the kid who loves to serve at the altar, and MAN! he could project!

    #18 Pyro: The big difference is that UofH, my alma mater, has a significant composition of commuter students who actually have to work for a living, as do their parents with whom quite a few live. They know the value of a dollar, and what it takes to earn it. Houston grew from nothing but a malaria/yellow fever ridden swampland to a sprawling megalopolis, energy capital of the world, medical center of the world because of the can-do attitude and relatively honest business environment. The other ports in the area, New Orleans and Galveston, were so crippled with corruption and crime that the relative ease of business potential in Houston made it happen. When air conditioning came along in the 50’s and 60’s the main impediment to a rapidly growing Houston was overcome.
    All this is said to illustrate that the culture in Houston is that of those who do and make, not one of those who inherit and have no sense of value. Those who will not work in Houston are kicked to the curb of life.

    If you thought that sleazy GaGa’s meat dress was ridiculous, this ought to make your head explode.
    I always thought most “fashion” designers were lunatics that needed to be institutionalized, the linkied articles only confirm that position.

    In other head-turners, Trettl turned a mass of “calf net” — fatty membrane from a calf’s stomach — into an elegant headscarf, paired with a prominent necklace made of quail eggs, and fashioned a sexy body suit from liquid dark chocolate, set against jewellery made of silver sugar pearls.

    “Of course the chocolate had to simply be washed off when they were done, there was no salvaging it,” Kugler said.

    “You only have about two minutes to photograph it, with a crew of 20 people. After that, it starts drying up and flaking off. It is a unique work of art comprised of the food and the model, the material and the form.”

    I have a real hard time classifying that as a legitimate art form; it more easily falls into the intellectual category of a big steaming pile of meadow muffins.

    That such stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopidity is even tolerated by anybody and not roundly criticized as the absurdity it is, defines the symptoms of an even greater, more widespread “reality disconnect” for lack of a better term. There doesn’t seem to be a “blush line” anymore; the artsy-fartsy crowd has so far pushed and stretched “the envelope” beyond reason, that envelope of reason has ceased to exist. The fact that the “blush line” is so far removed only spurs the AF crowd to try to think of ever more outlandish ways of expression to reach the blush line. The concept of rationality left the room long ago.

    It appears that Israel is about to get a belly-full of the palestenian BS.

    Vice Premier Silvan Shalom on Tuesday said that continued rocket fire from Gaza has created an “unbearable situation” in the South and Israel was nearing a “dramatic decision” that would put an end to the attacks.

    “If the rocket fire does not stop, Israel will act directly against the terrorist infrastructure and the heads of terrorist organizations,” Israel Radio quoted Shalom as saying.

    Couple the above with this and you can see that the p’s are in for a world of real hurt.

    Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said Tuesday that the US’s decision to cut UNESCO funding after the cultural agency approved Palestinian membership will deal a blow to reviving Middle East peace talks, according to statement, AFP reported.

    Arabi expressed his “extreme astonishment” at the decision by Washington and said “such an American step gives a negative indication of the possibility of success in the efforts to revive stalled peace talks,” the statement quoted him as saying.

    So let’s recap:
    1) We told the palestenians not to go to the UN for statehood as that would set really set back any prospects for peace AND we will reduce funding if you make the moves in that direction. They do what we said not to do and now the financial hammer is going to come down.
    2) Israel is getting a belly-full of the P crapola and they make the promise (which is much different than a threat) that if the bombing doesn’t stop we are going to cut off the heads of your leadership and bomb you into the stone age.

    Does anybody really think that the Ps are gonna stop the rocket attacks, bombings and vicious attacks? This will cause Israel to drop the military hammer on them; and I don’t think anyone will say that it was too soon. The massive collection of inflamed anii (Iran) is going to pressure the Ps all out war and they will probably join them along with Syria, led by Bashir al Azzwipe. Both of those regimes need the war to deflect the unrest from their own populations. The Turks will prolly join in because they want to re-institute the Ottoman Empire, the Egyptians will also likely join in so that they can claim relevance and they are now run by the moooooooooooooooooooslim brotherhood, one of whose stated goals is the destruction of Israel. The global chess pieces are lining up just as the Scriptures seem to indicate.

    #33 TT: That is an interesting story, particularly when you couple it with the surge of mooooooooooooslime BS in Europe and the whole weekend O/C thread. I have not yet loaded pc5 onto this new computer, so I can’t give you chapter and verse, but there is going to be a 2nd exodus. This exodus is going to be such a big deal that, it is written, no one will speak of the first one because the 2nd will be so much bigger a deal. The article touched on an EU ban on ritual Hebrew (and a similar method for the mooooooooslimes) slaughter of animals. As you may recall, Scripturally clean food is a big deal to those who follow the Hebrew teachings, regardless of what those of other faiths may believe. If Scripturally clean food is scarce, observant followers may choose to move to where it is not so scarce.
    I do not know how a gathering of Rabbis in Poland fits into the big scheme, but it is worth watching.

    #35 M42: They coughed up the 10 rooooskie spies for 4 other roooooooskies who were supposedly spying for us in a matter of 12 days. I would have sent the 10 to Gitmo for some Special High Itensity enhanced interrogation Techniques, just to be sure that we got all there was to get.
    I like the fact that they waited a year to finally announce the deal, instead of blabbing it and doing a victory dance aka bin fishfood.

    I don’t recall if this was linkied or discussed here on Hammy’ couch, but it should be watched by us all. Louie Gohmert blatantly exposes the incompetence of Janet Incompetano. She swore in a member of the moooooooooooooslime brotherhood on her team and he downloaded secret documents from the DHS onto his home computer and he has been shopping them. Gohmert pressed her to admit that she knew nothing about it the night before, I think he is going for a perjury charge as he asked an incredibly precise question. The whole video is just under 10 minutes.

    I have a browser add-on called f.lux on my computer. It changes the color scheme from the usual blueish hues to a more yellow-orangish cast. It’s supposed to help make the transition from work to sleep because of the cues it gives the brain. As often and as late as I work, and since I’m always sleep-deprived, I thought I’d add it on in case it helped.

    The color change happens at sunset, based on the computer clock. It’s weird to sit here, doing my thing, and watch the color shift as I’m typing or reading.

    Look, no one thinks Cain’s chances hinge on a single debate.
    But It is my opinion that this thing is still wide open because none of these candidates have been able to sustain broad support beyond 20 or so percent and there are still millions of dollars sitting on the sidelines.
    It won’t take much of a screw up for any of them to fall into the cellar.
    Gringrich can only gain from this tete a tete.
    With a really poor performance Cain could be damaged irreparably.
    I question Cain’s decision to participate in this style of debate with this opponent.

    I hope I am wrong and he is right, because he is my choice at this point in the campaign.

    The Zetas, a violent Mexican drug cartel, have killed and kidnapped hundreds if not thousands in recent years. But when they recently kidnapped one particular individual they apparently made a big mistake. The individual, name not known, is a member of the Anonymous “hacktivist” group. And the group wants him released. Immediately. As in now.

    “You have made a great mistake by taking one of us,” the group said in a video. ”Free him.”

    And if the Zetas don’t? Anonymous members are threatening to post photos of Zetas collaborators in the police and business community. The biggest threat to these collaborators, if they are exposed, is not from the police but from rival drug cartels, who will undoubtedly target them.

    Geeks vs. Killers. That could be a potent fight.

    Newt has so much personal baggage and weirdness hovering around him that even if he does land some blows on Cain, I don’t think he’s ever going to get close to the nomination. Shannon’s concerns notwithstanding, Cain should do this debate and rise or fall on the result. If he makes a good showing, he can stand his own ground and no one can say he is not sharp and articulate.

    And a good debater, too.

    Newt has so much personal baggage and weirdness hovering around him that even if he does land some blows on Cain, I don’t think he’s ever going to get close to the nomination. Shannon’s concerns notwithstanding, Cain should do this debate and rise or fall on the result. If he makes a good showing, he can stand his own ground and no one can say he is not sharp and articulate.

    Maude Behar is on in the background, Ann Coulter on arguing the Cain case. Should be good.

    OK, I just stumbled in after working 12 hours today and I’ve not been keeping up, but about Cain and his year early “October Surprise”, I’m glad it came so early because it’ll be over soon, that said, it’s still way too early to decide who may win the “PRIMARY” I still don’t think Romney has a chance, because he’s NOT a Conservative! AND speaking of conservatives, El Gordo in #4 pointed out that our own Congressman, (his and mine) is more of a moderate than a conservative. When he voted to raise the debt ceiling, I sent him a letter saying that I was very unhappy with the guy that I donated money to, three times, twice in the primary! He sent back a form letter with ALL THE TALKING POINTS from the establishment types,…..OH S#!T DAVE mentioned the…..oh ,never mind, lost my head…… Oh well, win some lose some. 😉

    If there’s any truth to this, and there’s even a hint Romney knew about it, you could be right.

    I still think he’s going to get the nomination. May I suggest some of THESE so that you can vote? I think pink will go well while you execute Bambi. 🙂
