Families Face New Pressures As Price of Gas and Food Rises ANSAS CITY, Kan WWW.THELEAVEN.COM NEWSPAPER OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY IN KANSAS • VOL. 30, NO. 1 JULY 4, 2008 FOOD or FUEL? Families face new pressures as price of gas and food rises ANSAS CITY, Kan. — An increasing num - ber of families now find themselves in a K terrible place: between the rock of rising food prices and the hard place of soaring gasoline prices. These families’ budgets are stretched to the point of breaking, said Tamra Brandes, director of emergency assistance of Catholic Charities offices in Johnson County. “When I talk about a stretched budget, I mean a budget that just doesn’t have any wiggle room,” said Brandes. “[It’s a budget] where you can just cover all of your expenses as long as nothing goes wrong, but the reality of life is that that’s a rarity.” See “Food” on page 4 Story by JOE BOLLIG Photo illustration by TODD HABIGER CMathOolMic CSharHitieEs’LMoPthIerN-toG-MoMtheOr pMro -S THheAGaMrneMtt KEnigRhts oTf CIoMlumEbus PYopEeABeRnediOctFXVIShaTs .dePdicAatUedLthis year gram partners a mother who requires some took up their hammers and nails to St. Paul, marking the 2,000th anniver - kind of support with a mentor mother who and gave back to the community sary of his birth.

  • If the Hat Fits, Wear It!
    If the hat fits, wear it! By Canon Jim Foley Before I put pen to paper let me declare my interests. My grandfather, Michael Foley, was a silk hatter in one of the many small artisan businesses in Claythorn Street that were so characteristic of the Calton district of Glasgow in late Victorian times. Hence my genetic interest in hats of any kind, from top hats that kept you at a safe distance, to fascinators that would knock your eye out if you got too close. There are hats and hats. Beaver: more of a hat than an animal As students for the priesthood in Rome the wearing of a ‘beaver’ was an obligatory part of clerical dress. Later, as young priests we were required, by decree of the Glasgow Synod, to wear a hat when out and about our parishes. But then, so did most respectable citizens. A hat could alert you to the social standing of a citizen at a distance of a hundred yards. The earliest ‘top’ hats, known colloquially as ‘lum’ hats, signalled the approach of a doctor, a priest or an undertaker, often in that order. With the invention of the combustion engine and the tram, lum hats had to be shortened, unless the wearer could be persuaded to sit in the upper deck exposed to the elements with the risk of losing the hat all together. I understand that the process of shortening these hats by a few inches led to a brief revival of the style and of the Foley family fortunes, but not for long.

    The Goodnewsletter A Newsletter for Members of St. Ann, St. Vincent de Paul & St. Patrick Parishes Stannlenox.org/[email protected] 134 Main St., Lenox, MA 01240 (413) 637-0157 Volume 4 - Issue 2 September 2016 A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR . On June 20th, our first parish meeting was held in the Family Center. There were some 55 people in attendance. To prepare for the parish meeting a survey was posted on the parish website and available for parishioners to answer. Some submitted an available paper survey. The results are posted on the parish web site and will remain available for anyone to consult throughout the year. Some 58 persons answered the survey. The results ran to some 50+ pages. A synthesis of the material will be posted on the website soon. However, I urge everyone to read the survey responses. All of the responses were well thought out and cogently expressed. There seems to be a remark- able consensus on many mattes and a thoughtful disagreement on others. At the parish meeting, fortunately, it turns out; I was not able to present a synthesis of the survey because I could not hook up my laptop to the projector. As a happy consequence the conversation among the participants begins right away, based upon what they wanted to express and not as a response to my presentation. The conversation was spirited and fruitful. Participants focused on three overriding issues: faith formation, stabilizing our financial situation, and outreach in general but particularly to youth and young adults. A variety of views were expressed and differences were very respectfully express and received.

  • How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?
    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

  • Rulers Portraits on Coins and in Arts – a Comparison
    Rulers Portraits on Coins and in Arts – a Comparison By Carol Schwyzer, © MoneyMuseum Sometimes, portraits can be so lifelike that they cost the portrayed's life. In 1793 the French king Louis XVI ended up on the scaffold because in Varennes, on his way out of the country, he was recognised by a postmaster's son. The king bore far too much resemblance to his effigy on the circulating coins! Whenever a ruler has him or herself portrayed, two components come into play: the person as an individual and as the representative of his realm, his throne and his people. Besides, regents like to be portrayed by the best artists of their time, because every subject or citizen is to know what the boss looks like. On the other hand his image is to be kept until long after his death. This picture tour is all about such portraits, comparing the effigies of rulers on coins with those of other forms of portrayal and revealing thus different facets of their personality. 1 von 16 www.sunflower.ch Alexander III the Great, king of Macedonia (336-323 BC) Left: Motif on a tetradrachm, minted under Ptolemy I Soter, satrap of the kingdom of Egypt, Alexandria, around 320 BC.

  • The Corsini Collection: a Window on Renaissance Florence Exhibition Labels
    The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence Exhibition labels © Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, 2017 Reproduction in part or in whole of this document is prohibited without express written permission. The Corsini Family Members of the Corsini family settled in Florence in the middle of the 13th century, attaining leading roles in government, the law, trade and banking. During that time, the Republic of Florence became one of the mercantile and financial centres in the Western world. Along with other leading families, the Corsini name was interwoven with that of the powerful Medici until 1737, when the Medici line came to an end. The Corsini family can also claim illustrious members within the Catholic Church, including their family saint, Andrea Corsini, three cardinals and Pope Clement XII. Filippo Corsini was created Count Palatine in 1371 by the Emperor Charles IV, and in 1348 Tommaso Corsini encouraged the foundation of the Studio Fiorentino, the University of Florence. The family’s history is interwoven with that of the city and its citizens‚ politically, culturally and intellectually. Between 1650 and 1728, the family constructed what is the principal baroque edifice in the city, and their remarkable collection of Renaissance and Baroque art remains on display in Palazzo Corsini today. The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence paints a rare glimpse of family life and loyalties, their devotion to the city, and their place within Florence’s magnificent cultural heritage. Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is delighted that the Corsini family have generously allowed some of their treasures to travel so far from home.

  • Vestments Are More Than Just Clothes for the Pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 by DAVID GIBSON
    Vestments are more than just clothes for the pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 BY DAVID GIBSON During Pope Benedict XVI's visit this week, the first since his election three years ago, Catholics will listen intently to what he says, and how he says it, all in hopes of figuring out if Joseph Ratzinger has indeed become a kindly German shepherd or whether he remains God's Rottweiler, one of the many monikers he earned during a long tenure as the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog. Yet as important as Benedict's words will be in introducing the pope to an American audience that knows little about him, it may be just as important to check out what he's wearing. No, not the red Prada shoes that set tongues wag ging early on in his pontificate. (Besides, the designer kicks were apparently knockoffs by the papal cobbler.) Of greater import than Benedict's shoes or his sunglasses (rumored to be Serengetis by Bushnell) will be his choice of liturgical vestments and other papal accouterments, choices that speak volumes not only about his personal tastes but also about his vision of the church's future and its past. With increasing regularity, Benedict has been reintroducing elaborate lace garments and monarchical regalia that have not been seen around Rome in decades, even centuries. He has presided at mass using the wide cope (a cape so ample it is held up by two attendants) and high mitre of Pius IX, a 19th-century pope known for his dim views of the modern world, and on Ash Wednesday he wore a chasuble modeled on one worn by Paul V, a Borghese pope of the 17th century remembered for censuring Galileo.

  • Nikita Roncalli: Counterlife of a Pope (Franco Bellegrandi)
    NIKITARONCALLI Counterlife of a Pope Franco Bellegrandi FRANCO BELLEGRANDI NIKITARONCALLI Counterlife of a Pope To Anita, for her quiet, unflagging, precious help Author’s Note Once again to take in hand the manuscript of a book that was never published, open it, leaf through those pages written so many years before, is like stepping into a long- closed house. A house that was once our home, in which we lived, suffered, and loved. The dusty windows are, once again, thrust open, and as the morning light stirs, the rooms from the darkness one after the other, the eye makes out the ancient layout of the furnishings concealed by the coverings, of the objects, of the books once familiar. And approaching the walls and pushing aside with emotion the drape which shrouds a portrait, one encounters the gaze of a person well known and loved who has continued to live for all those years, in the dimness of the closed house, with the very same expression in her look, with the same fettered ability to move you in the splendor of those eyes, in the grace of her face, in the elegant and delicate posture of her figure. Much time has passed, and yet all has remained in its place in the house where year after year not a piece has resounded anymore, nor voice has uttered another word. However for this very reason those ancient emotions indissolubly tied to those rooms, to those décors, to that rich furnishing, to those veiled portraits, appear unscathed by time. No irksome hand has violated that seclusion nor moved anything.
