Word of the Day: Præternatural
PRÆTERNATURAL. That which is beyond the natural but is not strictly
supernatural. It is preternatural either because natural forces are used by
God to produce effects beyond their native capacity, or because above-human
forces, angelic or demonic, are active in the world of space and time. (Etym.
Latin praeter, beyond + natura, nature.)

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.
