Today being the Feast of Christ the King (no Catholic Encyclopaedia entry, since Pope Pius XI made the feast mandatory throughout the Latin Church in 1925, after the Encyclopaedia was written), and since there have already been many eviltrad posts about the feast, I'll only point to this year's Tradelaidian Christ the King pilgrimage in Queensland, Australia, with the theme 'And She Shall Crush Thy Head'.

It's being filmed.

Last year's post is here, with images by Durer, Donatello and Tintoretto, of the Interrogation of Christ by Pilate.

Boston College has digital images of its Liturgy and Life Artifacts collection. The collection is divided into section under personal names (such as saints), corporate names (such as confraternities and orders), meeting names, title of written works, topics (such as bees, eagles or first communion), geographical area, form or genre (including chalices, vestments and other articles a priest may use), and local items )to Boston College, I presume).

Thanks to the MetaFilter post.

Last year's post is here, and it includes six images of him painting the Virgin, either sitting for her portrait or appearing to him in a vision.

Here is a portion of Trent's decree:

[T]he bishops shall carefully teach this,-that, by means of the histories of the mysteries of our Redemption, portrayed by paintings or other representations, the people is instructed, and confirmed in (the habit of) remembering, and continually revolving in mind the articles of faith; as also that great profit is derived from all sacred images, not only because the people are thereby admonished of the benefits and gifts bestowed upon them by Christ, but also because the miracles which God has performed by means of the saints, and their salutary examples, are set before the eyes of the faithful; that so they may give God thanks for those things; may order their own lives and manners in imitation of the saints; and may be excited to adore and love God, and to cultivate piety. But if any one shall teach, or entertain sentiments, contrary to these decrees; let him be anathema.

is what St Ignatius says to St Joseph in the joke, in which he, Ss Francis and Dominic are transported back to the Nativity.

It comes to mind, reading that the Jesuits running the Gregoriana sacked the Pope's Latinist, Fr Reginald Foster, a Carmelite: Pope's chief latinist fired from Rome's Gregoriana....

Islamic hackers hit Vatican site-- unsuccessfully.

As antiRepublicrat suggested, give them an ASCII art pig for a default prompt. (See below the break.)

Ruth Gledhill wrote the article in today's Times, Pope set to bring back Latin Mass that divided the Church, and she has a blog at Ruth Gledhill - Articles of faith. There's an entry on the newspaper's article, at Rite of Return, which links to a video of Benediction at the SSPX's seminary in Winona, Minnesota, U.S.A., and to the SSPX's page The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Thanks to Boeciana, at New links.

Last year's post is here. The first image shows the disposition of the navies at the battle, the second shows angels hurling burning arrows at the Turkish vessels.

Yesterday was the feast of St Bruno, founder of the Carthusians, who have been in the news lately because of the film Die Große Stille (Into the Great Silence), about life in La Grande Chartreuse, the motherhouse of the Carthusians. If I have time, I'll put up a post on the saint and the house.

Such is reported at 'Radically new' Greek dictionary on course for completion. While titled the Cambridge New Greek Lexicon, it ought to be the Cambridge Greek New Lexicon, or New Cambridge Greek Lexicon, since

The project to create a new lexicon was begun in 1998 by Dr John Chadwick, a [University of] Cambridge academic distinguished for his collaboration with Michael Ventris on the decipherment of Linear B. His initial aim was simply to revise the intermediate edition of Liddell & Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, a student version published unchanged since the end of the 19th century. However, once the inadequacies of the work became clear, the decision was taken to start afresh.

To achieve this, the [University of] Cambridge team entered into collaboration with Perseus, an American digital library with a huge databank of Classical texts. From it, a database has been created large enough to fill 30 CD-Roms, which enables them to find each occurrence of an individual word in the original Greek texts.

“We are doing something that is radically new, not based on existing lexicons but going back to the original sources,” Professor James Diggle, the lexicon’s principal reader, said. “Because our database enables us to see each word in its context, we don’t have to go to our shelves and take down each book, as we would have had to do in the past. And that gives us a unique opportunity to produce something far more radical and innovatory. It has allowed us to jettison the classifications that exist and start again.”

The Perseus Project, which has had recent computer hardware problems, will have the lexicon online. Until then Perseus has Liddell & Scott, at no charge.

Last year's post is here. The images are from Benozzo Gozzoli's frescoes in the church of San Francesco, Montefalco, Italy, and Ghirlandaio's Obsequies of St Francis. The text is Lessons iv v and vi from the Breviary.

The fellow at North Western Winds, in his post Big Ideas, mentioned some lectures available for downloading, to listen during his commute. Because I'm on the road for a few hours every day, I'm always looking for new podcasts.

TV Ontario's 'Big Ideas' selection mostly didn't interest me, though there was one on Foucalt I enjoyed. The past episodes pages unhelpfully and uncomprehendingly only provide dates and the lecturers' names, not the subject or title.

The 12 Byzantine Rulers podcasts he mentions are here, including an RSS feed. They are worth a listen.

The Sts Gregory and Romanos Guild, of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, U.S.A., has mp3s and Ogg Vorbis format audio files (zipped) of the Mass on September 3, 2006, the Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time in the new calendar. Go to their blog entry Download Our Recording. Hat tip to Bill White at Hear the Champaign schola.

romancatholicism.org has a new page up, with Latin chants and Greek alleluiatic verses, by the Ensemble Organum, directed by Marcel Pérès, at Old Roman Byzantine Chant. I mentioned the downloads available at romancatholicism.org in the post here, Sites with free downloads of chant and polyphony mp3s.

Brandon has an interesting post on evening knowledge and morning knowledge, or vespertinal and matutinal knowledge, at Evening and Morning.
