35 The doctor (?) twisting the patient's left arm is smoking a pipe. Though he looks like a patient or walking wounded himself.

The woman (?) on the right with her hands tied to something: Is that her hair? It looks like a Butterball turkey with a harmonica stuck in it. And the woman with the yellow hair, farther to the right, has too many fingers on the hand she's holding up.

Chaotic it is. Which I suppose is the point.

49 Wiki: "Max Beckmann enlisted in the German army during World War I. Initially, like many Neue Sachlichkeit and Futurist artists, Beckmann believed war could cleanse the individual and society. After experiencing the widespread destruction and horror of the war, however, he became disillusioned with war and rejected the supposed glory of military service. The Night's illogical composition relays post-war disillusionment and the artist's confusion over the 'society he saw descending into madness' (Kleiner et al.)."

85 From the wiki entry:
Three men appear to invade a small, cramped room, where they terrorize the scene. To the left, a man is hanged by one of the intruders, and his arm twisted by another. A woman, seemingly the man's wife, is bound to one of the room's supports after having been raped. To the right, the child is about to be taken away by one of the intruders—note the feet near the top right hand corner. Beckmann used himself as model for the man in the noose. He also modeled the woman and child after his own wife and son.[2]

Me: that is some fucked up shit.

130 (LifeSiteNews) — A number of notoriously heterodox Catholic bishops from Belgium, known as the Flemish bishops, have published a joint statement through their pro-LGBT ministry fawning over the Vatican’s recent document which gives approval to priests to bless homosexual “couples.”

“Within the faithful LGBTI+ world, the recent statement by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Fiducia Supplicans, is seen as a huge step toward the recognition of faithful and lasting homosexual relationships. You are fully accepted as an LGBTI+ person and can even now additionally have your relationship blessed,” reads the statement published by the bishops on December 22, which was written by the region’s pro-LGBT ministry “Contact points for Homosexuality & Faith.”

132 (LifeSiteNews) — The Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer has issued a statement lamenting the Vatican’s recent declaration which gives priests permission to bless homosexual “couples” in contradiction to the unchangeable teaching of the Catholic Church.

“The Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer stands with Cardinal Müller, the bishops of Malawi, Kazakhstan, Zambia and Nigeria, with Archbishop Viganò, Bishop Strickland and all bishops, priests and faithful who recognize that the priestly blessing of couples in “irregular relationships” and the blessing of “homosexual couples” is opposed to Catholic Faith and Morals; opposed to the teaching of the Church for the last two thousand years; and must be opposed by us and by all Catholics,” the congregation wrote on December 22 following the Vatican’s December 18 publication of Fiducia Supplicans.

191 From a Priest friend of mine regarding the Pope's confusing statements:

The disposition of a faithful son or daughter must always be one of humility and piety. This means we always try to interpret what the Pope says in the best light possible.
And assume that it might be our ignorance that makes it difficult for us to understand.

That said, the Magisterial authority of the Pope and Bishops only extends to that which Christ revealed. And it's not a spiritual suicide pact. It is possible for a Pope to err in his personal opinions, moral life, and opinions.

So if the Pope taught something clearly out of line with the clear revealed faith no we should jump off a cliff with him.

195 Beckmann’s war torn angst also shifted his artwork. After serving, he painted embattled nightmares. The war had devastated his personal perspective as well as his country. In The Night he portrays a horrific spectacle. Beckmann used his own family as models for this particular nightmare. But it’s a painful scene whether you know this or not. The painting shows how war rips apart a family in the form of violent home invaders.

Three intruders string up Max on the left side of The Night. One of them seems to twist his arm out of the socket. We can read the agony on his turned face. Behind the painter a dark figure pulls on the rope around his neck. Beckmann’s body splays. He spread his legs wide and holds a limp hand open to viewers. These details reveal powerless vulnerability. Also, notice the dark bottom of his bare foot on our left. This parallels Beckmann’s coloring of the perpetrators. For instance, a charcoal hue engulfs the man holding his noose in shadow. Beckmann’s use of this color points to the connection between predators and those who endure trauma.

219 New video sent to Philadelphia NBC10 by a law enforcement source shows the two men arguing, tussling with each other before suddenly one of them unloads two punches and knocks the other man onto the tracks. A train came by seconds later and ran him over.

"Looked like appeared to be some type of physical altercation. We don't know exactly what took place prior to that to initiate this, but it's being investigated at this point," Philadelphia Police Inspector Kpana Massaquoi told NBC10.

The other person was taken into custody at the next station stop at 40th Street Station, police said.

It's OK to like ugly art or ugly subjects. With works like this, ugliness is part of the message. I get annoyed with the artists that just make ugly work just for the sake of ugliness. To "shock". *eye-roll*

It's possible to use traditional styles to portray human depravity (see Goya or Callot -- although Goya was pretty "impressionist" for an academically-trained artist). I really like German Expressionism. The whole philosophy centers around the degeneracy of modern human society and they exploit the elements of style to enhance their subjects to really get the viewer to feel the work. It's interesting. They don't want you to look away. If I may, with you, Beckmann's painting is successful.

267 No catholic has to buy into anything from the Pope's social teaching. It's not doctrinal and not issued ex cathedra. This is literally the biggest misunderstanding by non-catholics about how the Church understands her teaching. There are TWO ex cathedra pronouncements added to the body of doctrine, with of which were common beliefs by the faithful for a 1000 years, ie, the Assumption and the Immaculate conception.

The Red Pope who just had to clarify his demented ramblings issued a clarification on the idiot same sex blessing stupidity. What they meant was that it was ok for a priest to "bless" as in pray over homosexuals like anyone else. This has always been true. Why they started rambling about homo-no homo, idk.

A large swath of the stupid still believe J6 almost ended America as we know it - that there was an "insurrection" that almost conquered and destroyed America.

I mean, even common sense tells you that if the J6 people were truly violent and went all out nuts, the worst that would have happened is a few senators / congressmen, and aids would have been killed. The absolute very worst that the J6 "insurrectionists" could have done is keep congress from meeting for a few days by staying in the building. Yet, the stupid people believe it was a serious threat to democracy. that somehow, America would have been taken over by ?????? if the J6 "rioters" had "won". In other words, these people believe that a few thousand people (at most, really a few hundred) could conquer all of America by occupying a single building.

The stupidity is astounding.

The Jan. 6 attack was a vivid reminder of how that democracy can be tested, Biden, obsessed with the 2020 election, is expected to say, according to the adviser.

There's that word; "democracy" again. It's use and definition continuously changes to suit the mood the left wants to project.

Catholic churches are also very big on open borders and social spending (entitlements). I'm catholic and have never even heard a priest mention abortion - ever. Like the GOP, the Catholic church uses abortion only for fundraising. In practice, the catholic church supports the left (which means as a practical matter they support abortion). I don't give the church any $$ and stopped going to mass a long time ago.

337 For Catholics it's still best to find a church nearby that still does Latin Mass. That is known as a tell- but a good one.

I went to one a few years ago I had looked up online and the priest (this was during a vernacular mass) started in on the homily 'I am sure you have all heard what happened in Constantinople...' (There had been a mass shooting or bombing in Istanbul the week prior.) He managed to condemn pretty much everything modern in about 20 mins.

354 The "I won't vote for the lesser of two evils" rubbish- Robert Reich
Some people tell me they hate Trump but don’t particularly like Biden. They say Biden is too old, or he’s not doing enough to stop Israel’s bombing of Gaza, or he’s caved to Big Oil, or he isn’t tough enough...Here’s what I tell them: By not voting or voting for a third party, they’re actually casting a vote for Trump.

I heard this exact same line in 1980, 2000, 2016....the outcome is always the same: the installation of a Republican president who sends the country into one disaster after another. After which a Democrat has to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess.

Biden isn't evil. Even if you insist both are evil, there is such a gap between them that "lesser" hardly applies. We're not talking Eisenhower vs Stevenson here.

If you aren't voting for Biden in 2024, you are supporting Trump -- PERIOD.

In 2016 Trump eked out narrow victories in key battleground states. Voters who stayed home or voted 3rd party played a key role in bringing the MUCH GREATER EVIL to power. Real harm was done to millions of people and Democracy!

"I know there's been a lot of coverage of this [Claudine Gay resignation], and so I want to be very mindful and careful, and I've said this before when it comes to either private institutions or colleges and universities: we're not going to comment," Jean-Pierre said in response to a question on the tumult at Harvard. "We're not going to comment on any personal decision that's been made," she added before still commenting on what's been going on at Harvard and other supposedly elite schools in terms of radical antisemitism on display. And what followed was quite the word salad.

"I want to, you know, as you ask, because you asked me, our comments from here and what we said from here, we believe that this is a moment for leaders to have more clarity, that we believe that it is incredibly important at this time to have more clarity and you know, look um, any calls for genocide are monstrous and they're antithetical," said Jean-Pierre, ironically not speaking with much clarity.

478 The current tort crazy regime has the Catholic Church doing the standard corporate livability firewalling.

The diocese is now a corporate entity.
The diocese typically retains the churches themselves.
The major assets not directly involved in Church activity are often placed in another corporate entity. This means things like schools, hospitals, nursing homes, cemeteries aren't directly owned by the diocese.

The Vatican (i.e. the diocese of the Vatican) is a separate corporate entity.
