DO NOT donate to the Bishop's charity appeal! Part of it will go to the evil USCCB!

Word of the Day: Episcopal Subsidies
SUBSIDIES, EPISCOPAL. Taxes from a bishop's diocese to which he has a right. Positive legislation has given the bishop the right to impose certain assessments to defray expenses incurred in the exercise of his office. Best known is the cathedraticum, or ordinary tax accruing to the bishop in virtue of his jurisdiction over the diocesan churches. Seminary taxes levied at stated times at the bishop's discretion are also considered episcopal subsidies. Expenses incurred during an episcopal visitation are likewise to be paid by the parish. However, the contributions made to the bishop's charity appeal are not considered a direct tax but rather a voluntary gift.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
