Word of the Day: Intention
INTENTION. An act of the will tending effectively to some good, proposed
by the mind as desirable and attainable. It differs from simply willing, which
is the desire for an end without concern about the means. Intention means desiring
not only some good but also the means of obtaining this good. An intention may
be actual, virtual, habitual, or interpretative.

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.
