A little Christmas and COVID Humour

A letter that appeared on our fridge on or about Dec 25, 2020.

Dear Mr. ~~Stalker~~ Santa,

I have been good:

All year,
These last few days,
Ha!

Circle one of the above. Choose wisely as I wish to add your answer to my school paper on important people: Santa. But, enough about that.

How have you been? How has your diet been going? I hear that the "cookies & cream" diet is a popular one.

This year, I wish to ask you multiple things:

First, is "Santa" just your superhero identity? If so, what is your actual identity, and what made you call yourself "Santa"?? Are you Donald Trump? If this question bothers you, I promise I will keep it a secret. No one will know, except you, me, my 9+ siblings, their friends and whoever reads the school reports at school (Tradicat: plus readers of this blog 😀) ... but other than that select group, secret safe!

Question #2 (or 5 or 6 ...): Will you be coming this Christmas, even with the whole Covid thingy? You'll probably not go to the mall, but this is why I'm writing this letter!

Now for the things I want:

I am once again asking for a network of tunnels underneath Canada. I didn't get it last year, sooooooo...
I wish to have a cheetah cub, so that I can raise it in domestic settings.
An amusement park for me and my family.
Solar panels!
An aeroplane, along with a users manual.
A huuuuge zipline!!!!
A life long warranty on a pair of flying wings.
A genie.
A motorcycle.
A yacht.
A get-away-cabin in the Rocky Mountains.
A library with three levels, and slides in between each floor.
Bilinguality (or trilinguality) ... whatever you have in stock.
Invisibility.
The ability to walk on vertical surfaces.
The capability to knowing what is deadly.
A better Prime Minister for Canada.
I don't know get creative 😉.

For all of the above, I expect the real thing.

Oh, another thing I wish to ask:

How old do you look? (NB: This was written backwards in the original)

Consider the answer to the first one carefully, and answer the second one truthfully!

Another question: Are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolf really your reindeer? If so, how did that happen?! Also, are they mutated to make them fly? Don't say they're magic, because I don't consider that an appropriate answer. Everything nowadays are based on science!!!

Puzzled Greatly

and Expectantly waiting

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

+ JMJ I started a timeline a while back but never finished it. Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...

Hermeneutic of the Hermeneutic of Continuity - sspx.org

+ JMJ Since I'm looking at the 'four things', I thought this article would be good. Unfortunately, with the new SSPX.org website, I've been unable to locate the original article. This is a copy the I emailed to myself. This is an article that, I believe, was written in response to a conference given by Msgr. Pozzo. P^3

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making. It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX. The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience. The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members. It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (de fide) - Expanded Listing: Answer for Reader

+ JMJ A reader asked the following question in the 2015 version of the article on the Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (link) : 117: "In the state of fallen nature it is morally impossible for man without Supernatural Revelation, to know easily, with absolute certainty and without admixture of error, all religious and moral truths of the natural order." Where can you find this in the documents of the Church? ( Link to comment ) Here's the reference from Ott: The citation that Ott provided was Denzinger 1786 and the source document is Dogmatic Consitution Concerning the Faith from the First Vatican Council (Papal Encyclicals - link) : Chapter 2 On Revelation, Article 3: It is indeed thanks to this divine revelation , that those matters concerning God, which are not of themselves beyond the scope of human reason, can, even in the present state of the human race, be known by everyone, without difficulty, with firm certitude and with no intermingling of error. Here's ...
