“Today, to be in full communion with the Holy See, one must accept those affirmations and teachings of Vatican II that are pastoral and certainly non-definitive in terms of their magisterial nature. This raises an important question: Why is the unconditional acceptance of the texts of Vatican II presented as a conditio sine qua non for full communion with the Holy See, while no comparable requirement exists with respect to the pastoral, disciplinary, or non-definitive teachings of the preceding twenty Ecumenical Councils?” — Bishop Athanasius Schneider

@Veroflamencos That was really awesome - thank you for sharing

[Veronica, la Católica ❤️‍🔥 @Veroflamencos]

Es su histórico discurso a los miembros del Parlamento Español, el Papa León XIV denuncia con claridad el crimen del aborto y la eutanasia, recalcando que “la defensa de la vida humana no es una cuestión parcial ni un interés confesional: es una meta de civilización”.

Más adelante reconoció la grandeza del Pueblo Español diciendo que “España ha sabido mirar al ser humano como algo más que una pieza del orden social, económico o político”. Con ello, recordó al mundo que el fantástico imperio Católico Español, bajo la Escuela de Salamanca, fue precisamente la que estableció la fundación de lo que ahora occidente reconoce como 'Derechos Humanos'.

"Hace quinientos años, en la sede universitaria de Salamanca, cuando se abrían mundos nuevos y posibilidades inmensas en las relaciones entre los pueblos, algunos maestros comprendieron que la razón no podía ser invocada para revestir de legitimidad cuanto la fuerza o el interés presentaban como conveniente. Introdujeron así en el discernimiento histórico la pregunta por el valor irreductible de todo ser humano y los límites morales del poder."

Amada España, evangelizadora de la mitad del orbit, recobra tu fe, tu memoria, tu grandeza! Viva España, la Católica!

In his speech to the Spanish parliament, the Holy Father spoke about the great Spanish history from Quijote, via St Teresa of Avila, to Unamuno, and particularly the School of Salamanca and the great thinker Francisco de Vitoria.

It was not China that outsourced American industrial jobs to build an oligarchy. Americans do not need to confront China, they should hold their government accountability.

@PhilosophyOfPhy Thank you for this post - I remember learning about Heaviside when I took differential equations at the University of Maryland back in the dark ages - I really loved the Heaviside function - I used it as well when I was working in industry - God bless

[Philosophy Of Physics @PhilosophyOfPhy]

In 1880, a reclusive, self-taught telegraph operator with no university degree went to war with the greatest scientific minds in the British Empire.

He won, changed the mathematics of physics forever, and quietly built the foundation for the entire modern electrical grid.

Yet today, almost no one outside of electrical engineering and applied mathematics even knows his name.

His name was Oliver Heaviside.

The story of how he solved one of the hardest engineering problems in human history is a masterclass in why book smarts fail where deep, messy intuition succeeds.

In the late 19th century, the world was trying to lay massive underwater telegraph cables across the Atlantic Ocean. But they had a crippling problem: the signals kept distorting. You would type a message in London, and by the time it reached New York, it was a smeared, unreadable mess of electricity.

The top physicists of the day, using traditional university math, said the solution was simple: make the cables purer and reduce resistance. They spent millions of dollars trying to make the lines perfect.

It didn't work. The signals still broke.

Heaviside looked at the exact same problem from his messy, self-taught perspective and realized the elite academic establishment was blind.

They were treating an electrical wire like a water pipe. They thought the electricity was inside the copper.

Heaviside figured out that electricity doesn’t flow inside the wire; it flows in the electromagnetic field around the wire.

Then, he did something that made mainstream mathematicians furious. He invented a bizarre shortcut called operational calculus. Instead of spending weeks solving complex, multi-page differential equations to map these fields, he treated calculus like basic algebra.

To the professors at Cambridge, this was a sin. They called his math clumsy, unrigorous, and nonsense.

Heaviside didn't care. His famous response to them was: "Should I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?"

He used his illegal math to propose a mind-bending solution: to fix the distorted signal, engineers didn't need to make the cable cleaner. They needed to deliberately add more corruption to it. He suggested wrapping the cables in iron wire to introduce "inductance", intentionally fighting one distortion with another.

The establishment ignored him for years. But when AT&T finally tried his method, the results were instant. Long-distance communication was solved.
Heaviside wasn't trying to pass a math exam or impress a peer-review board. He wanted to solve a real-world problem.

In the process, he took James Clerk Maxwell’s famously complex 20 equations of electromagnetism and condensed them into the 4 beautiful formulas that every single physics student is forced to memorize today. Heaviside did the heavy lifting, but Maxwell got the name.

The lesson Heaviside left behind is a philosophical blueprint for navigating a complex world:
The people who memorize the proper formulas are excellent at solving textbook problems. But they are entirely dependent on the rules staying the same.

The people who understand the underlying system don't care about the rules. They break them to find what actually works.

Most of us approach our life's problems like the 19th-century British establishment. When something goes wrong in our career or relationships, we try to make our existing wire purer. We try harder at a broken method.

But sometimes, the problem isn't that you aren't trying hard enough. The problem is that you are looking inside the wire instead of looking at the field around it.

What is a distortion in your life right now that you keep trying to fix with the standard advice? What happens if you stop trying to follow the textbook formula and start looking at the hidden forces causing the noise?

George Washington: “The Constitution vests the power of declaring war with Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they have deliberated upon the subject, and authorized such a measure.” Letter to William Moultrie, August 28, 1793

Thomas Jefferson: “We have already given in example one effectual check to the Dog of war by transferring the power of letting him loose from the Executive to the Legislative body.” Letter to James Madison, Sept. 6, 1789

James Madison: “The constitution supposes, what the History of all Govts demonstrates, that the Ex[ecutive] is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care, vested the question of war in the Legisl[ature].” Letter to Thomas Jefferson, April 2, 1798

@ihtesham2005 This was a great post - is there something special about 40 minutes? Does the walking or running need to be continuous - so for example can I walk two times each day for 20 minutes and get the same effect? God bless
