He has the more negative “ woman, what have I to do with you “. How do we know Jerome was correct…in citing an idiom that David uses, Eliseus uses, and a demon in the gospel uses? Because Eliseus uses it just prior to miraculously producing water in wadis for the Israelite army….and the water looks red to the distant Moabites. I am sure that Jesus discussed with Mary…the Eliseus miracle just days prior to Cana.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-7152657703237490412022-01-11T08:58:28.318-05:002022-01-11T08:58:28.318-05:00Well that's crazy & true I left that famil...Well that's crazy & true I left that family after I read the article I.

But so far as I can tell, and based on a Wikipedia page so take it with a grain of salt, the Anglo-American Encyclopedia was published in 1902 (and for several years afterward), and simply stole parts of the Brittanica. Werner seems to have done the same thing in 1909.<br /><br />It is quite possible that one publisher pulled the same sleazy trick under two names, or that two publishers pulled it one time each.Father Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170260624474428623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-29692849957020334362020-12-14T02:21:37.369-05:002020-12-14T02:21:37.369-05:00I compared your books to my Werner encyclopedia an...I compared your books to my Werner encyclopedia and they are the exact same ,I was wondering if you had any publishing info on your books <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250704773787018884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-32398453230750082362019-03-12T00:42:15.554-04:002019-03-12T00:42:15.554-04:00Please, permit me to ask this.

But returning to it recently, after a very long layoff, I just noticed your eight-year-old comment (!) and hit the publish button.<br /><br />I will say, a lot of what I was writing before about 2015 should be taken tongue in cheek. I was rarely entirely in earnest. In a sense, that has been part of my long layoff: I'm afraid that the horrors of the Trump Administration have driven me so far around the bend that I have a hard time even making fun of them, or of much of the world's other silliness.Father Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170260624474428623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-55819129746110865472018-12-13T21:48:30.891-05:002018-12-13T21:48:30.891-05:00Am not quite sure why (or how) the above post was ...Am not quite sure why (or how) the above post was reposted this a.m....since I think I wrote it in 2010<br />Still stand by the comment.<br /><br />Frankly I think amices are rather like detachable Victorian collars . see here for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx0CcVYaSUI<br />I do agree that essentially they (like the collar) are a convenient way of keeping other vestments clean....it's easier to wash an amice, or to launder a collar than to try to clean a chasuble or a shirt.<br />BUT in the last 150 years we have seen a change in materials, and an improvement in the facility to launder and clean vestments and shirts! <br />We have ( as is our wont ) given a curious spiritual connexion to a practical vestment....I don't deprecate this <i>I will put on the helmet of salvation, </i> a good allusion and reminder of our call to holiness.<br />Let's not be obsessed by amices.

It's even better if the field of waving grass has an entirely unrelated Bible verse in Papyrus font.<br /><br />A few years ago I wandered from a Catholic store to a Pagan/New Age store in the same afternoon (when in a city large enough to have multiple of each). With dismay, I quickly realized that the aesthetic of the latter was vastly superior to that of the former. I haven't been back to a brick-and-mortar Christian store, but do stop in occasionally to admire the real stone statues, hand-carved wood symbols, and beautiful paintings at the New Age store in town.
