Rome 24/10 – Day 24: Copies

While the sunset tonight will be at Rome’s 18:17, the sun rose behind rain clouds at 07:31. And I do mean rain.

Tonight there ought to ring the Ave Maria in the 18:30 cycle in Roman Curia. However, I thought I heard it last night in my zone. I’ll set my thing to ping.

Also at that time, there will be a live streamed seminar from the Penitenzieria Apostolica from the Palazzo della Cancelleria (where the Church’s three tribunals are housed) about the Sacrament of Penance. I recall that this was done in the spring… maybe they do it twice. I signed up for the remote participation my live stream Priests and seminarians who know Italian might sign up from where ever you are. I have no idea about the quality of the talks, by the way. I know what they were like back in the day and they were pretty good. Now… the age of… who knows?….

To stay awake during the, no doubt, fascinating talks.

Today is the Feast of St. Raphael the Archangel.  Therefore, the candles were lit by the beautiful painting at The Parish™ by the painting of Raphael with Tobit and a really big fish.  The parish Mass was said there this morning because there is still scaffolding about the main altar.

The copy is in place.  It’s a REALLY good copy.

Speaking of copies.  These are lovely fresh copies ready for purchase.

In churchy news…  Francis praised Latin.  He praised it as something for research and culture.  Gosh, Latin is great.  HERE

Hmmm

[Latin] represents “the roots of Western civilization, and, in many ways, our very identity.”

Latin… our “identity”… hmmm…. something about that is familiar.

Anyway, actions speak louder than words in any language.

And this….

[Latin] “can become a tool for harmony among peoples, promoting mutual respect and human dignity.”

If only the Church had a liturgical language that could do that, so that people could worship together, in one place, rather than segregated into Masses according to languages, a sort of anti-Pentecost.

    Wonderful !!!

    All of a sudden, Latin is now considered something of worth.

    One wonders why they got rid of it.

    Plus, it’s sad that Finnish Radio no longer broadcasts the news in Latin.

    The Yle public broadcaster ended its long-running weekly News bulletin, “Nuntii Latini” (News in Latin), in June 2019, after 30 years on air.

    Perhaps they may now bring it back ?

    I saw that Dilexit Nos is out. Gosh, it’s long. I went to read it, and just about the time I thought that the document was winding down, I saw “Chapter Two” appear.

    Not the worst thing, so far. More weird use of European expressions, I guess, because it says the worldly world is “liquid.”

    I literally have no idea what that means, and they say it twice.

    @ Suburbanbanshee
    It may be a mistranslation of the word for “fluid”, as in flexible, changeable, even capricious.
    They do prefer to use lots of words, don’t they? “Full of words and music and signifying nothing”. I think I shall call this document “Delicious nosh” (nosh = grub, food, a meal).
