Lamentabili Sane by Pope Pius X
Pope Pius X (b. 2 June 1835 – d. 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, began his pontificate on 4 August 1903. He is known for opposing modernist thought and as a bishop proposed a new catechism for laymen in 1880. The decree “Lamentabili Sane: Condemning the Errors of the Modernists” was published on 3 July 1907 by the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office at the command of Pope Pius X. This is not to be confused for the famous “Syllabus of Errors” issued in 1864

Corporate Employee Suggests More KPIs
Sydney, Australia – A corporate minion was given a reprimand for “not being a team player”. Last week, John Lee was told that he had failed to meet one of his key performance indicators (KPIs). He contested that decision because his position is a core function of the company. “I only get to do the work that comes to me,” said Lee. “You can’t do the work if people don’t give you work. It’s not like the support departments where you can just keep shuffling paper as long as the

Company Promotes Women in Office During Mass Layoff
Los Angeles, CA – A company is promoting and celebrating women in the workplace. “We’re not simply interested in having women as cleaners or the average minion in the office, that’s been going on for decades; we want them to be executives and CEOs,” said CEO Cliff Dushpaggery. Dushpaggery takes the innovative approach by constantly releasing company newsletters about women in the office and how much he wants them to be executives. “Well, maybe not while I’m the CEO but you kn

K-drama Review: The East Palace
Intriguing enough premise but the plotting is a little clumsy. But still, solid performances and excellent production. In any case, it’s short so it is over quickly.

On Church Authority – Part I
This article aims to defend ecclesiastical (church) authority. This is not an apology for whoever is currently at Rome as that is another topic in itself, but rather for authority conceptually, including the papacy. As usual, the matter is not that complicated. It is made complicated by over-simplifications and ambiguity, deliberately or otherwise. This is a three-part series, moving from the general to the specific. Part I is a brief overview of authority in the Old Testamen

Vehementer Nos by Pope Pius X
Pope Pius X (b. 2 June 1835 – d. 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, began his pontificate on 4 August 1903. He is known for opposing modernist thought and as a bishop proposed a new catechism for laymen in 1880. After his elevation to the papacy, he worked on that and released a catechism. It was, however, only used in the province of Rome and other parts of Italy and not the rest of the world. The encyclical “Vehementer Nos” was published on 11 February 1906. I

Anime Review: Mashle
In a world where magical abilities are the norm, a non-magical guy uses his supreme physical strength. Action-packed. Simple and crude mild parody. Still enjoyable.

Anime Review: No. 6
Intriguing utopian-dystopian premise and setting in which the boy has to leave the utopian city and go underground. Well-produced but the plot lacks substance and is somewhat bland.
