Word of the Day: Virtual Intention
VIRTUAL INTENTION. An intention that was once made and continues to
influence the act now being done. But it is not present to the person's consciousness
at the moment of performing the act. This kind of intention is sufficient for
a human act to be voluntary and therefore morally responsible. (Etym. Latin
virtualis, from virtus, capacity, virtue.)

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.
