Tolkien et les Sept Arts

Grammaire

Très fameusement, John Ronald avait le goût de ne pas seulement apprendre des grammaires existantes mais aussi d'en inventer des non-existantes. Il croyait que le passe-temps était rare, mais il croyait avoir trouvé une âme soeur le jour où dans les campements militaires de la Guerre contre Prusse il entendit un homme dire "je crois que je vais exprimer l'accusatif avec une préposition".

Les grammaires de Quenya et de Sindarin ont servi comme parti de l'arrière-fonds de ses récits à échelle épique. Le passage des glâces de Helcaraxe ou la forêt de Nanduhirion ... (à prononcer chaque lettre comme en Latin - Helcaraxe est en Quenya et Nanduhirion en Sindarin).

Dialectique

Il croyait fermement que le récit était mieux et plus fantastique pour avoir une logique cohérente interne. Il s'y appliquait aussi. En plus il débusque la mauvaise logique des réflexes du malin dans ses récits ... elle coincide souvent avec la mauvaise logique des révolutionnaires, que ce soit anticléricaux ou que ce soit des transhumanistes.

Rhétorique

Pas mal des dialogues donnent en passant des positions clefs, de ses charactères bons comme des mauvais, exprimées en très sollenelle rhétorique. Il n'est pas insensible à la rhétorique de la fidélité féodale non plus.

Arithmétique

Il a eu l'empathie avec les gens ayant six doigts de leur donner un système d'arithmétique ... notons qu'il ne fait pas partie des récits publiés, on le trouve dans les lexiques tolkienesques.

À part ça, oui, il sait très bien compter, que ce soit le nombre de générations dans une généalogie qu'il construit ou que ce soit le nombre de jours une certaine traversée prend à pied en courant, à pied en marchant ou à cheval.

Musique

St Augustin d'Hippone comptait comme faisant partie de la musique les formes de vers. Tolkien y a ajouté une ou deux.

Prenons la strophe ambrosienne, faisons rimer les lignes deux et quatre, peut-être aussi la une. Divisons la ligne trois en deux moitiés que riment ... voila une strophe de Tolkien.

Et la musique joue une tellement grande rôle dans son imaginaire. Aïnulindale donne une méditation quasi musicale sur De Genesis ad Litteram Libri Duodecim livre 5-6 (la fameuse et souvent de nos jours mal interprêtée non-litéralité des six jours chez St Augustin) avec un verset de Job.

Géométrie

Notre auteur faisait lui-même ou en collaboration avec son fils Christopher les cartes de son monde imaginaire. Et il construisit les histoires de manière que la carte devienne rélévante aussi. Les maisons - que ce soit les trous de hobbits ou les palais et les villes (Minas Tirith est modelé sur Mont St Michel).

Astronomie

Il semble avoir considéré la constellation Orion comme un "guardien" contre le mal. [Si quelque association il y a entre Nimrod et Orion, alors ça ne veut nullement dire que les étoiles d'Orion soient mauvaises comme Nimrod est mauvais. Le mal n'a pas de place si haut que ça. - Mais ceci on ne peut pas trouver directement chez Tolkien. - Plutôt qu'elles font attention à ce qui lui concerne, pour avertir de lui.] Chez Tolkien cette constellation s'appelle Menelmacar - porteur de glaive (macar) du ciel (menel).

Rappelons qu'il a "inventé" (ou revalorisé pour ses histoires) deux cosmologies (pour avant et après un cataclysme) dont la première mais non la deuxième a une terre plate et les deux une terre au centre de l'univers. Rappelons qu'il a inventé (ou revalorisé ne fût-ce que pour ses histoires) la conception médiévale que les planètes sont des boules de feu ou assez pareil menées par des êtres angéliques. Et notons, en passant, qu'au Moyen Âge ceci n'était nullement une vue hérétique, mais au contraire assez normale à la Sorbonne aux temps de l'évêque Tempier et de Sts Thomas d'Aquin et Bonaventure et Maître Albert aussi. Que je sache, elle n'a jamais, grand jamais été condamnée par l'église.

Voor die traditionele opvatting van wiskunde

Ik kijk een beetje op die wikipediaen kreeg die moderne opvatting (want die voormoderne of traditionele is weiniger bekant):

In de wiskunde worden de getallen doorgaans ingedeeld in verschillende verzamelingen. De eenvoudigste getallen zijn natuurlijke getallen {0, 1, 2 ...}, voorgesteld door de verzameling "N". De natuurlijke getallen zijn een deelverzameling van de gehele getallen "Z" die, naast de positieve gehele of natuurlijke getallen, ook de negatieve gehele getallen bevat. Deze verzameling kan uitgebreid worden met de getallen die enkel als breuk te schrijven zijn: deze verzameling van rationale getallen wordt voorgesteld als "Q". De verzameling van rationale getallen die een eindige decimale voorstelling hebben, worden decimale fracties of decimale getallen genoemd, soms weergegeven met "D".

Er zijn getallen, zoals π, de wortel uit twee en het getal e, die niet in breukvorm te schrijven zijn; zij vormen de irrationale getallen. Rationale en irrationale getallen vormen samen de verzameling van reële getallen, voorgesteld door "R". Tenslotte kan deze verzameling nog uitgebreid worden tot de complexe getallen zodat alle algebraïsche vergelijkingen oplosbaar zijn. Deze laatste verzameling wordt voorgesteld door "C".

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getal_(wiskunde)

Dit is een valsche en moderne voorstelling van wiskunde.

Traditioneel gezien zijn aantallen geen deelmengsel van rationelle of reëlle getallen.

Arithmetiek is die kunde van aantallen. Muziek is die kunde van proportionen tuschen die aantallen. Geometrie is die kunde van grootheiden - een andere typus van hoeveelheiden daan die aantallen. En ook van hun proportien. π is een proportie die slechts existeeren kan tuschen grootheiden, noeiet tuschen aantallen. Datselfde is ook waar van die wortel van twee en van die eulersche getal.

Maar die waarden van die arithmetische getallen zijn ook enkelte van die waarden van die geometrische relatieve grootheiden. Elk grootheid kan slechts dan wiskundlijk worden behandelt als zie een is of als zie relatief is aan een aandere grootheid die een is. En die relatië kan goed zamenvallen mee een aantal - bijvoorbeeld 3:1 die zamvalt mee 3 - een ook niet zamenvallen mee een aantal - bijvoorbeeld π of die wortel van twee, die zijn die relatieve grootheiden van die cirkel als "een" is die grootheid (als basis van relatiën) van die diameter en ook die relatieve grootheid van die diagonaal van een vierkant als "een" is die zijd.

Al die musikalischen proportiës kunnen ook in aantallen existeeren, maar niet al die geometrische proporties. Maar een proportie tuschen aantallen is ontologisch verschillig van die proportie tuschen grootheiden. Zelfs als die waarde dezelfde is.

Nul een negatieve getallen zijn geen aantallen, maar "relatieve aantallen". Als men heefd een wirkelijk aantal kan men een relatië toevoegen: en die relatië kan positiev of negatiev of nul zijn. Maar zie is kleiner als die aantal van die men uitgaat. Toevoegen of wegnamen, men kan dit slechts mee een kleinere relatië als dit waarop men toevoegt of waarvan men wegnoemt. Romeinsche cifferen duiten het heel goed aan. VII of V of IIV gaan. IIIIIV of VIIIII, dit gaat niet. En als VIIIIII kan corrigeert worden in XI (die gaat), dan is IIIIIIV heel valsch en kan niet corrigeert werden. Waar woord die "natuurlijke getal" een deelmengde van die "positieve of negatieve of nulle heeltallen"? Niet in die wiskunde aan zichself, maar die algebra, die een aanwending is van die wiskunde (zoals gesang of symphonie van muziek, en door die gelijkzwevende stemming is die aangewandte muziek niet heel correct van perspectiev van die wiskundlijke muziek.)

Mijn nederlandsch is niet alzoo goed als mijn duitsch, zweedsch of engelsch. Excuses!

On Satyric Songs

This one is for Owen

We were discussing the Song "Father's got the sack from the waterworks", which was cited by one Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Here is Chesterton's rendering, which I sounded with the melody which best seemed me to fit it, but I never actually heard it:

"Father's got the sack from the water-works
For smoking of his old cherry-briar;
Father's got the sack from the water-works
'Cos he might set the water-works on fire."

It is given in the essay or chapter Death of the Household Gods in the collection or monography Eugenics and Other Evils. One of my major decisive steps away from a near Satanic, though I did not think so at the time, sympathy for Nazism, which for the bettter soon passed away. But the men who helped me away from it have both been maligned. Gilbert Keith has been confounded with his cousin A. K. Chesterton who sympathised with Mosley. My school friend was maligned or is even now maligned along with me as having been a Sodomite Friendship, which we were not. Here is the link to that essay:

Gilbert Keith Chesterton » Eugenics and Other Evils » The End of the Household Gods
http://www.online-literature.com/chesterton/eugenics-and-other-evils/16/

Now, that is satyre, because it shows the absurdity of certain employers or - in one rendering foremen - with hygienic preoccupations and with thinking themselves superiors to the workers in respects where they are strictly equal just because there is one where they are not, to wit proprietorship and decision making powers about the company. If the municipal or private water tower decides when the father in question comes to work, that is a reasonable kind of superiority, since they work together and take turns about making work what has to work around the clock. The superiority is not so much a natural as a conventional one. The one who decides when people get to work is not better at it than everybody else, but one has to do it, the one, whichever he is, who does it is superior to the chaos of everyone deciding for themselves when to get to the waterwork, as long as they are employed at it. But when it comes to decide on a thing like smoking, the worker and the emloyer (or foreman) are strictly equal fellow men, images of God, sons of Adam, souls for whom God took manhood in Nazareth and died on the Cross of Calvary. The normal thing is that a worker decides if he smokes and an employer if he smokes. The worker cannot tell his employer "I want you to smoke" or "not to smoke" so the employer should not tell his worker whether to smoke or not.

Obvious exceptions to that would be accomodating one worker who has asthma (non-smoking) or working with food (non-smoking) or when patients with asthma are to be met (non-smoking in hospitals), and equally an exception would be where one has to smoke in order to test a pipe or tobacco blend (for smoking). Apart from that, any employer who tells his employees not to smoke is playing God with them. And above song is a very fair satyre about their superfluous worries which they use for excusing that intolerable habit.

Sometimes of course foremen are worse than employers. When googling for the title line, I found this variety:

"Father got the sack from the waterworks

For smoking his little cherry briar

The foreman, Joe

Told him he must go

'Cos he might set the waterworks on fire".

[source]

That variety I would sing to a somewhat different melody, because it is a different rhythm. A bit more like some inflections in older US Folk Music (pre-country-western). Getting the complete text seems difficult. There is however some hope of seeing it as a film, if you can get hold of it:

IMDb > Father's Got the Sack from the Waterworks (1916)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2351219/

For some reason, the Sheetmusic Warehouse where I should have been able to order the music sheets with lyrics, has gotten this song out of stock:

The Sheetmusic Warehouse : Father's Got the Sack From the Water Works by W&M: C.Collins, T.Sullivan Copyright from 1915 (=expired)
http://www.sheetmusicwarehouse.co.uk/details.php?ref=18062

Sorry, this item is no longer available, please click here to go back to the home page

That remark, from "UK's leading supplier of out of print sheet music" is in itself material for satyric lyrics. I wonder if there is any page on the internet where one can get all stanzas. If someone thought it too heavily attacking on employers and foremen, and asked The Sheetmusic Warehouse (whose business idea is to keep available what the original supplier does not keep available) no longer to keep it available, that might explain the thing.

Otherwise we might perhaps look for a reprint, since the copyright is expired (it was I who added that remark by the way)?

It reminds me slightly of when Bill Gates, a leading supplier of freedom of speech on the web, in 2009, february, closed down each and every MSN Group which had ever been created as a forum under his auguries, including my two. Antimodernism and TheRoadGoesEverOnAndOn. The smaller one dealt with Tolkien and my pilgrimage to Santiago and I tried to transfer it to the new forums he created: Multiply. However, even a realtively small group (few messages and threads that is) could not transfer all threads and messages correctly to Multiply. What were my hopes for the larger one?

I started copying as much of it as I could onto newmade blogs for that purpose. I saved much, but I think more than half of my work went down the sink, perhaps because Bill Gates does not believe in freedom of communication as much as he pretends to. Also a material for satyric songs, if you like.

I wrote one myself, in French, about quite another matter: the pseudo-responsibility by which abortion and contraceptive practises are often excused or even extolled. Here:

un jacobite : Mon fils encore non conçu
http://jacobita.blogspot.fr/2005/06/mon-fils-encore-non-conu.html

I did not think this was obscure poetry at all. I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious in lines like:

Mon fils pourra tuer un homme:

Je devrais le guillotiner!

Mon fils pourra violer une femme:

Je devrais le fair' avorter!

I mean, death penalty is in the ordinary course of things applied for things a culprit has already done, not for something he possibly could do in the future. And that links to the absurdity of abortion or contraception "for social responsibility" and in "preventive crime repression". It links to the absurdity of any mother from any class, even those sometimes called "criminal classes", aborting to prevent herself from being the mother of a criminal. Or listening to a doctor who asks her to do that. Especially as it is pretty doubtful whether a rapist should be executed or have more lenient punishment. And especially as drinking too much rhum (my third exemple in following lines) is not a capital offense in any legislation, not even Saudi Arabia (barbarious as are their customs of punishing drunkards or those even tasting alcohol).

As with responsibility for society, avoiding to give birth to criminals or bums, so with responsibility to the unborn. Guillotining someone will of course cure a sore throat, but you just do not do that for purely curative purposes. And the near devout tone in the third stanza about the pretty disgusting methods there are to avoid procreation (everyone who is not satyrising them talks about them anyway), should be pretty obvious as sarcasm. AND, if that were not enough, I make a turnabout in the fourth stanza saying I did not really mean it and stating what I really mean:

Mais si je crois la Providence

Je vais pas le guillotiner!

On doit pas prévenir tout cas en avance:

Je vais pas alors l’avorter!

A little later, some people were looking worried when I talked about my writings on the internet and this song. Maybe the sarcasm was not obvious enough to them. So, I wrote a comment in which I link to it condemning abortion:

En français sur Antimodernism : C KOI, L'IVG?
http://avantlafermeturedantimodernism.blogspot.fr/2008/10/c-koi-livg.html

I also wrote a reply on the sometimes environmental worries that I satyrise in the second stanza as motives for population control.

En français sur Antimodernism : Jamais
http://avantlafermeturedantimodernism.blogspot.fr/2008/10/jamais.html

Never has one heard of a population that grew until its resources no longer fed it and then it died off from hunger. Never ever. As for resources in certain non-vital resources, like electricity or gazoline, I stated one could live without that before and can live without that again:

En français sur Antimodernism : Après le pétrol et l'uranium - quoi?
http://avantlafermeturedantimodernism.blogspot.fr/2008/10/aprs-le-ptrol-et-luranium-quoi.html

En français sur Antimodernism : On peut vivre ...
http://avantlafermeturedantimodernism.blogspot.fr/2008/10/on-peut-vivre.html

On peut vivre sans se faire dépendre des grosses companies privées, communales, départementales ou étatiques - à qui de l’empêcher?

Well, it seems the Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Greek Orthodox version, there being a Roman Catholic and an Anglican as well) is seeing the wisdom of this, since the Israeli held waterworks of Jerusalem for very long allowed them to not pay the bills, since they were a Church and now is demanding the accumulated debt for years and years in the past referring to a law forbidding the kind of deal that was made inofficially. You might, if you like write a satyric song about that kind of duplicity.

And yes, I admitted I had a part of personal nostalgia in returning to simpler technologies of heating and illumination of the human home:

En français sur Antimodernism : Pourquoi Antimodernisme - contre l'électricité aussi?
http://avantlafermeturedantimodernism.blogspot.fr/2008/10/pourquoi-antimodernisme-contre.html

But I have still not gotten any overt guffaws about the satyre in the song "Mon fils encore non conçu". So, I tried to make a comment on September 11^th on FB:

HGL's F.B. writings : Mes Trois Derniers Statuts : Le 11 Septembre
http://hglsfbwritings.blogspot.fr/2012/09/mes-trois-derniers-statuts.html

I can see about three possible reasons why the French are not laughing their arses off at my satyre on abortion and contraception:

1) They have no sense of satyre. They never buy Le Canard Enchaîné or Fluide Glacial or Charlie Hebdo. They never admire the caricatures of CHARD. The satyric bent of French humour is a myth.
2) Someone knowing the satyric song is by me and having a heavy prejudice against me might think I am uncapable of satyre, of enjoying or of producing it. Even if he has the good taste to laugh at a caricature by CHARD, he does not dare do so with anything ever written by me.
3) They have a sense of satyre. They are not quite uncapable of imagining me as a satyrist. They might even imagine I am satyric where I really am not, or not intentionally. BUT : they are so accustomed to responsibility and population control as ideologies that they cannot imagine anyone satyrising it, and if I appear to do so they think it must be a mistake. Why would anyone as intelligent and friendly as me satyrise something as holy and good as killing babies for their own best interest? Who would not rush to cutting off throats to prevent them gettintg sore in the future once you think of it? If one does not like that perspective, is it not best to avoid mentioning that consequence of modern ideologies?

Now, either of these perspectives is a deterrent for me to write another satyric song, for the moment. But if you feel more cheerful and more optimistic about the intelligence of the audience, go ahead, I have given you a few materials!

Seven quick takes

Grammar:

I made a typo, like Sven instead of Seven.

Rhetoric:

Sometimes what I say comes out as rhetoric for something else - even if I am not saying that other thing. I am Catholic, I am also loosely Maurassian style Monarchist-to-Fascist. Yesterday I posted a page about my difficulties with LIVING my faith and some Magician (or some priest excommunicating me or otherwise despising me) made sure I had an opportunity to write about the Ersatz creed to which Charles Maurras subscribed: Positivism.*

Dialectic:

Wishing people would be more logical and take my words more as what they logically mean instead of as hints at something else.

Arithmetic:

Romans had Multiplication tables as V by V. All there was needed. Same as for addition tables. Zeros are not needed for correct maths, but they have a certain function in speeding calculations up a bit.

Geometry:

I am not a comics or manga illustrator, for the obvious reason that I cannot draw.

Music:

I am not a musician performing my own compositions, because I cannot play an instrument. I think however if I possessed a guitar or recorder in a few months I would be up to level for one or two of the simpler ones on my musicalia blog.**

Astronomy:

I just asked if Stellar Aberration had been observed from Mars. That might have proved, if not the "Heliocentric theory", at least the alternative between "Heliocentrism" as now seen and Tychonian astronomy as updated to include fixed stars in what orbits the sun. So might Stellar Parallax as observed from Mars, but that observation has as far as official sources are concerned NOT been made. As to my recent question, I have not yet received an answer. A more strictly Tychonian astronomy is still optically possible, as to the state of my knowledge, (and of course it is physically possible to anyone believing in God and angels, only Q is if current space travel can be costrued as possible within such framework).***

***Creationism and Geocentrism are sometimes used as metaphors for "outdated because disproven inexact science" [read comments' section too, all are mine and redactional Post Scripta]
http://hglsfbwritings.blogspot.fr/2011/04/cagasuamfobdis.html

Law and Theory in Science

It is a law in acoustics that when you pluck two strings, and only relevant difference is one being half as short as other (check same string on a wellmade guitar: once open and once on twelfth fret), the swinging will be twice as fast and the sound go one octave to the discant. From other direction (twelfth fret first, then open), as you go to twice the length, otherwise exactly the same, the swings will be twice as slow and the sound go one octave to the bass. For a fifth check relations 2:3 (same string once open once seventh fret or reverse). Those are for any intervals natural laws, tying it to a relation of x times or x/y times as fast or slow swings or shorter and longer string. Of course shortening the string is not the only way to get a more acute sound, you can also take a thinner string (check strings on guitar: the thicker the bassier, the thinner the more acute), and there too the more discant goes with faster swings and the more bass with slower ones.

That is a natural law. It does not change. I do not know if God would even make a miracle in which it changed, because what would be the point of that miracle? Would it heal someone or raise someone from the dead?

Fastness of swings or oscillation is measured in Herz, abbreviated Hz. The frequency of swings known as 440 Hz is also known as the tone A. That is a fact, but it can change insofar as at other times A has been rather 420 Hz or 432 Hz. It is a fact that musical notation only covers a selection of all possible sounds and that the spectrum of different Hz measures is selected as a finite number of points on that line. And such can do and have historically also done some re-definition of location. But if you change the location of that A, you have to change all the other locations as well. If 440 Hz is an A, 880 Hz must also be an A, and so must 220 Hz. If the A is 432 Hz, it is 864 Hz and 216 Hz which are those other A. If you remember the previously said, you will see in either way As are an octave apart, because they are half or double the Hz number apart. That is a law of music and of musical notation and terminology. Unlike the natural law previously referred to, it is arbitrary. One has historically called them bass to discant A - H - P (unless P was rather 432 than 864, in which case A was as bassy as 108).

Now, there are different theories of what sound is. Mersenne explored the laws above referred to in a much finer and more scientific way than Pythagoras had. Though he favoured the theory "sound is nothing other than the movement" (by which he meant the oscillations, which he had not yet quite identified as such) he also mentioned the theory "sound is a quality, not identical to the movement, but caused by it and proportional to it". There is also the theory that if oscillations go far enough up in speed you get light and electromagnetic waves of which Hz are measured in millions - mHz meaning mega-Herz and mega meaning one million times basic unity. But there is the observation that a thing like air would hardly be able to vibrate that fast, so if that is the case, what is vibrating? Ether? Or a quasi-vibration by different strength in emitted photons? Those also are two different theories. As is the one which says that matter in itself is also a frequency and some add "so is spirit", and so on and so forth. But whichever of these theories is true, as long as we talk about vibrations in air or in instruments, it is a law that 330 Hz and 440 Hz are exactly apart as 3:4 which gives the intervall one fourth (fifth fret and open string), which is an audible inflection of sounds.

Mersenne's theory about sound being physically identical and only subjectively different from movement by being percieved in the ear rather than otherwise, is the one that has most favour with the scientific community. It would not have been quite as fashionable with St Thomas Aquinas. If you remember previous essay, think of the physical line of ink on the paper: is it really continuous even between the molecules, or is the space between molecules, even if it is only nooks and corners, quite empty space? In other words, is there or is there not something in physics which corresponds to the continuousness of geometry, of geometric lines? Are nuclei plus very little electrons all that is matter - or are nuclei "heavy matter" and the distance between them, within a body like air or liquid or solid or ink line or paper, filled by some kind of "light matter" with the characteristic "light" opposed to the characteristic "heavy"? Are sounds vibrations in nuclei and light vibrations in light matter also known as aether or maybe even sound vibrations those in nuclei and sound itself a quality of the surrounding "light matter" - or does one accept the modern standard theory?

Those are theoretic choices not often asked in classrooms. I guess that (along with theoretic preference for creationism) is why I bailed out of studying sciences and studied Latin Language and Literature, which in Sweden has quite a Medieval focus. And why I would hardly be welcome as a science teacher in a classroom.

PS, Mersenne was a Minim, a kind of very strict Franciscan. He ate basically one meal a day, year round, as other Catholics try to do in Lent. But he did get curious about acoustics and music and he did his experimental work very well for all that. Or, why am I saying "but" or "for all that"? That is just one bow to modern prejudices!

Mireille Mathieu critique les Pussy Riot

Édito, la Nativité de la Sainte Vierge:

On pouvait lire dans le "métro" d'hier que l'interview de Mireille Mathieu avait été coupé d'un passage où elle plaide pour la clémence envers les personnes tout en condamnant l'acte.

Elle était mieux informé que j'étais moi-même il y a quelques mois sur l'acte. Quand à la clémence, elle n'est pas impossible du point de vue chrétien. Surtout que ce n'est pas pour les actes de blasphème et sacrilège en tant que tels, mais pour un point sécondaire, qu'elles seront jugées selon le code russe hérité largément du code soviétique très laïc. À moins que "incitation envers la haine" se prenne comme haine surtout envers Dieu./HGL

PS: En plus, Mireille Mathieu chante. Elle sait ce que c'est la musique./HGL

Apologies to Justin Bieber

In a very tired moment, I compared the metrics of an extract from "Baby"* unfavourably to those of an extract of Fred Astaire. A little later I realised that the extract was of course from the refrain. And much later, i e today, I came across the Guiness Book of Records news about celebrities, including Justin. I looked up the lyrics as a whole.

First verse is admirable. Not least from the metrical point of view.

And a little later there are these lines, which are not bad at all today:

She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck,
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks ...

I mean Starbucks is kind of abusing its position, right now, so glad for those who do not need it (even I try to get my coffee elsewhere)** ... not to speak of the fact that he says clearly enough his first love was at thirteen. Mine was at fourteen. Now, that is a good thing to know when marriage is in many states of US and the world postponed up to 18. I mean, he could have afforded marrying at fourteen considering how well he sings./HGL

PS: There are untalented people in the world too. I mean I offered a guy the link to the 219 condemnations*** by bishop Stephen Tempier, most condemned sentences were from Averroës. And he passes me today and congratulates me on doing right to use Averroës as a kind of step ... duh! Not. I totally adhere to the condemnations by Bishop Tempier. And detest Averroës as much as Spinoza.

Deux articles de PRÉSENT, mes réflections

Christianophobe ou Competentiolatre? Réponse à Michel de Poncin.

Les bravades de S^te Jehanne d'Arc la Pucelle auraient été faits par un guerroyer déguisé en Pucelle travestie en guerroyer.

Parce qu'une vraie Pucelle n'aurait pas pu faire ces choses là. Mais l'historien, dont les conclusions ont été reprises par Marie Drucker, n'a pas vu de problème pour voir possible pour une conjuraison de remplacer au dernier moment le guerroyer travesti en pucelle travestie en guerroyer par une vraie femme, sinon une vraie pucelle. Croit-il aussi les théories idiots selon lesquels Notre Seigneur aurait été remplacé sur la Croix au dernier moment? Les Musulman au moins admettent que ça n'ait pas été l'acte des purs hommes, mais celui qu'ils croient dieu aurait fait cette tromperie. Croire la même chose par moyen naturel d'une conjuraison, c'est être moins intelligent qu'un Muslime, sinon moins pieux.

Un peu la même compétentiolatrie est-ce qu'on voit dans le film Anonymous: Shakespear n'aurait pas eu la compétence d'écrire les drames de Shakespear.

Ou encore, il y a, assez vraisemblablement, des idiots qui refusent de croire qu'un s d f soi-disant compositeur qui ne joue pas d'instrument puisse vraiemnt être mieux qu'un fou, puisse vraiement être le compositeur des compositions qui se trouvent sur mon blog musical ... je laisse qu'on se dise quelles autres bêtises les compétentiolatres ont pu dire derrière mon dos. Surtout qu'on le laisse aux gens qui ont entendu ces spéculations. Mais sans des spéculations comme ça, ça fait déjà longtemps que des gens honnêtes m'auraient joué les compositions ou imprimé les essais ou poëmes, et j'aurais pu avoir une vie un peu moins rocambolesque ces derniers années.

Donc, cette compétentiolatrie idiote à propos la Ste Jeanne d'Arc est autre chose que christianophobie, bien qu'elle puisse être combinée avec elle. Si l'historien n'a pas pu être un catholique, après la canonisation de la sainte, il a bien pu être par exemple Protestant ou même quelque forme de chrétien en schisme millénnaire avec Rome (genre Romanides, le disciple de Harvard, car voilà un des pires, calomniateur de la scholastique et des Francs, sauf en philologie sur le mot et sur la réalité romaines, biensûr) et genre Paul Ballaster, le calomniateur de St Robert Bellarmin.

Charles Rosier, ensuite: FSSPX ne nie pas que le Vatican puisse reclamer à un régime communiste ou islamique la tolérance de chaque hérésie majeure chrétienne, si c'est la seule façon de faire respecter avec les droits de la vraie église.

Mais si l'église le reclame et un tel état le donne, la FSSPX, croyant comme étant infaillible l'enseignement de Mirari Vos, ne peut nullement considérer ça comme une justice due simplement à la dignité humaine ni considérer cet état comme plus juste que des états où la seule église catholique a eu droit au culte publique.

Surtout: un Concile n'est normalement pas une occasion pour faire des démarches purement diplomatiques avec des états.
