The pope (Latin: papa from Greek: πάππας pappas,[2] “father”),[3] also known as the supreme pontiff (Pontifex Maximus), or the Roman pontiff (Romanum Pontificem), is the bishop of Rome, leader of the worldwide Catholic Church, and head of state representing the Holy See.[4] Since 1929, the pope has official residence in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican City, the Holy See’s city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy.[5] The current pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013, succeeding Benedict XVI.[6]
While his office is called the papacy, the jurisdiction of the episcopal see is called the Holy See.[7] It is the Holy See that is the sovereign entity by international law headquartered in the distinctively independent Vatican City State, established by the Lateran Treaty in 1929 between Italy and the Holy See to ensure its temporal, diplomatic, and spiritual independence. The primacy of the bishop of Rome is largely derived from his role as the apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus, giving him the Keys of Heaven and the powers of “binding and loosing”, naming him as the “rock” upon which the church would be built.
According to Catholic tradition, the apostolic see[8] of Rome was founded by Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the 1st century. The papacy is one of the most enduring institutions in the world and has had a prominent part in world history.[9] In ancient times the popes helped spread Christianity, and intervened to find resolutions in various doctrinal disputes.[10] In the Middle Ages, they played a role of secular importance in Western Europe, often acting as arbitrators between Christian monarchs.[11][12][13] Currently, in addition to the expansion of the Christian faith and doctrine, the popes are involved in ecumenism and interfaith dialogue, charitable work, and the defense of human rights.[14][15]
In some periods of history, the papacy, which originally had no temporal powers, accrued wide secular powers rivaling those of temporal rulers. However, in recent centuries the temporal authority of the papacy has declined and the office is now almost exclusively focused on religious matters.[10] By contrast, papal claims of spiritual authority have been increasingly firmly expressed over time, culminating in 1870 with the proclamation of the dogma of papal infallibility for rare occasions when the pope speaks ex cathedra—literally “from the chair (of Saint Peter)“—to issue a formal definition of faith or morals.[10] Still, the pope is considered one of the world’s most powerful people because of his extensive diplomatic, cultural, and spiritual influence on 1.3 billion Catholics and beyond,[16][17][18] and because he heads the world’s largest non-government provider of education and health care,[19] with a vast network of charities.

Your place, space and entry in this moment in time can and does not repeat itself.
What we have is what exists, we can build on what we have but we can not press a rewind button that is machine logic and we are real human beings

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is an organisation that advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament by the United Kingdom, international nuclear disarmament and tighter international arms regulation through agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It opposes military action that may result in the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and the building of nuclear power stations in the UK.
CND began in November 1957 when a committee was formed, including Canon John Collins as chairman, Bertrand Russell as president and Peggy Duff as organising secretary. The committee organised CND’s first public meeting at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, on 17 February 1958. Since then, CND has periodically been at the forefront of the peace movement in the UK. It claims to be Europe‘s largest single-issue peace campaign. Between 1958 and 1965 it organised the Aldermaston March, which was held over the Easter weekend from the Atomic Weapons Establishment near Aldermaston to Trafalgar Square, London.

That took me many hours to work out. I got a new printer scanner this week and have been trying to install my scanner as it was having difficulty connecting. Well after installing new applications and from banging my head against a screen I have finally sorted it.

The fool in the white house Trumps dark side
Well I started my holiday it’s been lovely sitting by my front window and watching the world go by.
Then Trump comes on the screen and it all goes down hill from there. Boy is he trying to spank his monkey all over mother earth at the moment.
https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/07/trump-administration-revokes-land-native-americans-whove-lived-12k-years-12524427/?ito=article.amp.share.top.facebook&fbclid=IwAR0o0y_NO-2Ipfv6d0p0gBUESgJ6jlZkRwepsCIOyDVW3_-HQHycrYbH900
The Trump administration has sparked outrage after it revoked the reservation status of a Native American tribe that has lived on the land for 12,000 years. In late March, the US Interior Department ordered the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s 321 acres of land to be taken out of the federal trust and the reservation disestablished. The order strips the tribe of the ability to govern on the land – an area where they have been living long before the United States of America was established. The move sparked anger from Congress. On Friday, 18 members of the house sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Charles Schumer asking to pass a pair of bills reaffirming the tribe’s land, including HR 312, which would restore the trust status to the reservation. ‘It would simply ensure the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is no longer vulnerable to having its land taken out of trust,’ the letter stated.
Let your words speak your truth Trump. He is obsessed with invading aliens no matter where on the globe he thinks they are coming from. His whole economic social, ugenical and political policies are based on preventing outside alien invasions there is no other substance to what he says or does.
I swear I had sat down to just have a rest but when that beast from the west speaks his truths it’s I can’t help but speak my truth.
Trump the man with who has no depths to his satanic direction of travel, mind how you go it’s hot down there Trump. You do not speak for the land or your land you are but one man. At least he already has the tan line for his potential afterlife holiday destination.

Home for the holiday
Hopefully I can have a short break now. I had a chest infection back in the second week of January. I remember the night it began because I was due to return to work the next day and sods law it just kicked in the Sunday before work. I felt afraid, ill, hot and a lack of sense of taste and an overwelming unwillngess to eat. I lost about a stone in the space of about 10 days. That was my only ray of sunshine with the dam virus.
I psychologically, spiritually and sociologically put up my shutters and pressed my internal panic button and refused to go out and meet anyone until after 14 days of isolation it made me feel so bad that I did not want anyone to be bitch slapped as bad as I was with this infection so isolated myself with it just to be on the safeside.
So after that moment in time I returned to work as soon as I could which resulted in my brain over revving and running on close to empty (pitying myself here, I’m sure it was not that bad). But I did feel incredibly stressed, used by my employer and taken for granted at that moment in time.
This then made me try and get a job somewhere else which I have been trying to do anyway for a year or so because me mangers are either incompitent or negligent or a mixture of the two.
So things start to get blury in time now. Still fire fighting in my work, dealing with muppet managers and desperately trying to escape.
The second to last job I applied for was to a union as an adminsitrator I would have loved to do the job and my Dad said after reading my application that it looked like I was so desperate to leave my old job it read like a suicide note (Gee thanks for your love and support Dad).
That was not how it felt when I wrote it althought I did over do it with crafting it as if to say give me this job my time is now!
Well that amouted to zero but I kept on percervering, while still holding down my 9-5.
So the next job interview I get is one for a government department and low and behold they offered me the dam job only problem now is that corona19 kicks the world royally up the ass and stops me from having a start date. I don’t feel sorry for myself at this point. If anything I have survivors guilt cause I have hope that I havve found a harbour in a huge shit storm and I am more privaleged to be able to ride it out from my bubble than most.
So thats where I have got to now I look forward to contining my journey where ever it might take me, helping and being helped by friends old and new. I have still yet to start my new job but am safe in the work space of my old to, up untill this wave passes.
At thsi moment in time to my Christian friends I do hope you have a good Friday and a Happy Easter.
May your god even bless the unbelivers too.
Cheers
