From the Jack Palance Collection (yeah that Jack Palance)
Christ himself speaks of his own kingly authority: in his last discourse, speaking of the rewards and punishments that will be the eternal lot of the just and the damned; in his reply to the Roman magistrate, who asked him publicly whether he were a king or [...]

Mind you, I am not very picky about women wearing veils at Mass (but I think they should)…., but some were/are : The pagan women of Arabia will be your judges. For they cover not only the head, but the face also. . . . But how severe a chastisement will they likewise deserve, who [...]

The Bishop
Posted in Pictures on October 12, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The Bishop: During the first three centuries, the entire religious life of the diocese centered around the person of the bishop. The priests and deacons were his auxiliaries but they worked under the immediate direction of the bishop. In large cities, however, like Rome, it was soon found necessary to hand over permanently to the [...]

“The Pope himself would have been very displeased due to some “resistance” displayed even in Italian dioceses, and it is probable that interpretative norms for the correct application of the document [the [...]

Christ unrolling the Scrolls by James Tissot
A senior American cardinal has asked Jews to reconsider descriptions of Jesus as a “bastard” in exchange for a softening of traditional Catholic prayers calling for Jews to be converted to Christianity…
But this should mean that Jews, in turn, consider amending their own religious texts, he said.
“It does work both [...]

Cardinal Spellman (Displaying some typical NYC “quasi-irreverence” if true): Take this anecdote attributed to him with grain of salt: “Spellman held his tongue in Rome, where it would be unwise to be indiscreet about the new pope (Pope John XXIII). But when he returned home, the Cardinal announced his disdain. ‘He’s no Pope,’ Spellman scoffed [...]
