Actually, our "new moderator" did me a favor, in that I was able to save this page, and it will provide a ready reference for me when studying the Council of Trent. No need to go online or to dig up my old TAN paperback copy of the canons and decrees. If you wait long enough this person may have posted all the canons and decrees of the Council of Trent. I thought (s)he already had. I guess even trolls have their place in this world. It is truly amazing that in this digital age, we can download pretty much anything that is in the public domain, and such things as the Summa Theologica, the Vulgate Bible, the Douay-Rheims, and so much more, can be had for free with a few keystrokes. Even the Haydock Bible is accessible. In so many ways, these are very good times in which to live.

Joke. I couldn't resist the opportunity to take that and run with it. I'm sorry, I cannot resist the urge here to share some observations on my 91-year-old mother. Not a trace of senility or any slowing-down of mental faculties, incredibly articulate, has lost her sight (for the most part) and cannot read anymore, but she stays current on world events by watching CNN, Fox News, and NewsNation, the local news as well, and is as sharp mentally as she was the day she graduated from high school. When she could see, she read voraciously on medical topics, and would have made an outstanding physician. Amazing lady. I know it was a joke.
I'm glad your mother still possesses her faculties. I'm sure she could have been excellently educated but alas it was often thought that education was wasted on women.
My wife and I were friends with an elderly lady (she has died) who was extremely clever. She received no education after 14 because her parents thought it wasted on women. Whilst her brother was allowed to do anything he wanted, and at which he never succeeded always changing his mind and never applying himself.
I have always thought I won't mind reaching a great old age if I can, at least, retain my mental faculties. My mother is approaching her nineties but her mental faculties are starting to go. Getting the medical profession to do anything is extremely frustrating. My mother has long complained they don't want to know when you're old and until recently I've tried to convince her that's not true. However, I'm now rapidly coming round to her way of thinking.
It wasn't a question of thinking that education was wasted on women, it was poverty. My dear grandmother told my mother that if she wanted to go to college, they would find a way. My mother chose to move into town and work in a factory instead, where she stayed until she married my father.

Once again, just speaking for myself, I have no issue whatsoever with providing in full the canons and decrees of the Council of Trent --- and comparing them with present Church teaching and discipline, asking how they compare, and whether subsequent teaching can be understood in a sense that preserves, as Benedict XVI put it, a "hermeneutic of continuity" (doctrine can and does develop) --- but I ask that you do not claim to be the "new moderator" (or "interim moderator") when that is not true.
You could create an entirely new user name, and continue to make your good contributions, and I, for one, would have no objection to that.

What does gladdden my heart is it wasn't the thought education was wasted on women. Unfortunately, that was an attitude that prevailed and all too long. My mother has also told me there were certain things a married lady couldn't do without her husband's consent such as deal with matters at the bank. A friend of my mother's worked for a company called Boots, a large UK company that is a pharmacy chain. When she got married she left Boots but not out of choice. She had to leave because they didn't employ married women!

She had to leave because they didn't employ married women! That thought would never have been entertained on either side of my family. The only question that might have arisen is "is it practical? --- what are you going to do with it?". The concept of higher education as having a character-development and "scholarship for its own sake" aspect would not have been understood. I had one aunt (mother's brother's wife) who had gone to a state teachers' college for a time, but that was about it. My generation was the first to go to college, and among my first-cousin cohort, there were degrees in history and finance (mine), education, international management, psychology, philology, and so on.

The troll is wasting the allotted disk space this site has.
Responding to him/her merely encourages her/him to continue.

The troll is wasting the allotted disk space this site has. Responding to him/her merely encourages her/him to continue. Yes, a couple hundred bytes is going to use up all the disk space. Let's assume for a moment that each character posted is 2 bytes (It's not but we'll use this for the sake of argument). That means it takes 512 characters before 1 Kilobyte is used, and 524,288 characters before a single megabyte is used. Assuming the board is limited to 100MB it would take 52,428,800 characters before the space was allotted. This post for instance will come out to around to roughly 2 KB to post. Meaning around 26,214,400 would have to be made before you ran out of space. Don't talk about things you don't understand, it makes you look stupid.
