I had a short working retreat in #Savannah, #Georgia, in January. I visited the #Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, where I was delighted to find sunshine highlighting the organ pipes.
"The American entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel has traveled to Rome to host a closed-door lecture series on the Antichrist, mixing theology with technology and politics. The event, held near Vatican City, drew criticism from Catholic figures and institutions, many of whom rejected his ideas as extreme. The visit has underscored tensions between his techno-libertarian worldview and the Church’s more cautious stance on AI and global governance. So what's behind Thiel's fascination with the antichrist? With analysis from Fritz Espenlaub, host of the six-part Deutschlandfunk podcast series Die Peter Thiel Story, and Vatican expert Massimo Faggioli from Trinity College Dublin."—DW News

It is no coincidence that the mandorla — the almond-shaped halo around Christ or the Virgin Mary — mirrors the vulva’s form. Named after the Italian for “almond,” it symbolises the threshold between worlds, the sacred gateway through which divine light and incarnation enter the human realm.

Useless Trivia:
Originally, St. Gertrude was invoked to get rid of mice and rats. But she eventually became associated with cats.
To be fair, she is... Cat-tholic.

As a 5th-century saint, St. Patrick was roughly contemporary with King Arthur. Some legends say the saint left Britain for Ireland during the reign of Ambrosius, Arthur's uncle. Though there are legends of King Arthur meeting many saints, none survive of him with Patrick.
