ROME 24/10 – Day -02: Nel mezzo del camin

In Rome the sun rose at 7:02 and set at 16:58. The Ave Maria Bell should have sounded at 19:15.

I am not yet in Rome but rather in Brooklyn hanging out with friends.

The flight into LGA was 30 minutes early, which is remarkable considering the crazy weather in the Eastern USA.

I have a couple days here, so this is Rome MINUS 2.

It is hard to believe that this is LGA…

Quiz…. which beer is mine…

In churchy news… we’ve learned that there is to be an Apostolic Visitation of the FSSP. The last one was 10 years ago. So… every 10 years whether it’s needed or not? HERE

I’m trying not to read too much into it.

Communiqué of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter
Fribourg, September 26, 2024

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) has recently been informed by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life of the opening of an apostolic visitation of the Fraternity. As the Prefect of this Dicastery himself made clear to the Superior General and his assistants during a meeting in Rome, this visit does not originate in any problems of the Fraternity, but is intended to enable the Dicastery to know who we are, how we are doing and how we live, so as to provide us with any help we may need.

The last ordinary apostolic visit of the Fraternity was undertaken in 2014 by the Ecclesia Dei Commission. As the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has been in charge of the FSSP and other former Eccelsia Dei institutes for the past three years, it now the competency of this Dicastery to look after the FSSP.

Magnus Carlsen, Alireza (“Puer”) Firouzja, Levon Aronian, and Alexander Grischuk advance to the Division I Winners Semifinals of the Julius Baer Generation Cup 2024, after defeating respectively Ian Nepomniachtchi, Vladimir Fedoseev, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, and Arjun Erigaisi.

In Division II, Wesley So can get to the finals if he finishes in 1st or 2nd.

White to move. Mate in 4

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
