Defending The Pope -- Part XXXII
Acclamations were sung, as were Intentions, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at St. Aloysius Cathedral in downtown Spokane, WA., this past Sunday, and last, much like any other Sunday I've attended, since the 1990's, and a few times as a teen, many years before.
The vocalist had the purist, most beautiful voice. Stunning beauty. If any one attends any other Cathedral or church, anywhere else, there's few matches to that beautiful singing. That gorgeous celebration of thanksgiving, the meaning of 'mass' itself.
-- it's about giving thanks, to each and all, to AllThings, everything that was and is and will be, good, that is good, even to those whom help the needy when you are not aware or capable.
Participating in a fundraiser, the children took up a collection on behalf of Heifer dot org, to purchase a water buffalo, some chickens, a pig and two goats for those in need within the 3rd-world. All may participate by donating. Like ox, the beast pulls the plow, but the expenses only begin there. The beast costs as much as a fire-engine here, and there's still the plow to purchase, the harness, the seed, the baskets to carry the seed, and fertilizer, and to carry the harvest of crops, and money to feed the beast, and all whom endeavor to uplift the economies of their families and BelovedNeighbors. Same as farmers here, dividing the resources to feed the masses, which is the oldest profession on Earth.
-- some say it's 'prostitution,' the oldest profession, but that is not so, for the resources were divided to feed them first, or they'd not exist to prostitute, obviously.
Dividing the resources to feed the masses is indeed the oldest and noblest profession in existence, for no other professions could exist otherwise. Much like dividing the fishes to feed the masses, which I participated in one summer in Alaska, all aspects of resource division, management, the entire agriculture industry, including tree harvest, timber, logging, is all about nurturing BelovedNeighbors, globally. We trade for that which we do not have but wish for.
Currently, Iran is claiming it has no need to trade for uranium enrichment, because they think they've mastered the technology well-enough to make their own plutonium, enriched uranium products, from low-grade yellow-cake produced within their own borders, cutting-out all international cooperatives.
North Korea has said similar things.
China is being blamed, subtly, for so many things, starting with currency, accused of 'manipulating currency values' of their own currency. Let's just reflect on that a moment, because our hateful conspiring Legislators manipulated $9-trillion to shore-up the 'value' of the U.S. dollar, then spent a few trillion more of 'future-tax-money' from you and yours, your sons and daughters, to bail-out numerous companies and agencies run by their Higher-Ed cult, leaving the worker to forfeit retirement accounts and homes.
-- and millions more lost their homes this year.
-- and all they would have had to do was spend $700-billion subsidizing the cost of gas at 50-cents per gallon at the pump, then the pocket-money to spend at local ma' and pop stores would be there, or at those icons which are now bankrupt, like Sears and so many others, and the money would be there for families to see more movies, travel more often, visit more places, buy more stuff, including home furnishings and build houses.
We need to stimulate the Housing Market from the UNDERSIDE -- from the bottom up -- by flooding the market with cheap building materials, specifically lumber. 7 out of 10 trees in North Idaho Public Endowment lands, for example, are ripe for harvesting; proceeds to pay teacher salaries with a raise, rebuild schools to stimulate construction and labor, and along with that comes higher tax-revenues to hire more labor to construct and maintain roads and bridges and parks; we need Higher-Ed environmental scientists isolating genetically modified forests to reap the harvests of current yields in one-third the time, eventually three-times the yield, one-third the time, so every decade or so, with GM-crops of fiber sources and food sources mixed-in, along the forest floors, such as gm-modified huckleberries along with fast-growing gm-modified building materials, such as a wood-bamboo mix, harvestable every two or three years. These things are not 'science fiction,' these things are possible today.
-- instead, they talk, that cult of Higher-Ed conspiring Legislators, photo-op'g as long as possible, in their FAKE 'majesty', no intention of fixing anything until they've secured a career at taxpayer expense claiming how 'indispensable' they are.
-- In REAL crisis, in war, they are the most dispensable -- OF LEAST VALUE, therefore.
They don't even know we're in a war.
Kind Regards,
