Word of the Day: Precious Blood
PRECIOUS BLOOD. The blood of the living Christ as an integral
part of human nature immediately united with the second person of the Trinity.
It is called Precious Blood because, according to Pope Clement VI, "the
value of the blood of Christ, on account of its union with the Logos, is so
great that one little drop would have sufficed for the redemption of the whole
human race" (Unigentius Dei Filius) (Denzinger, 1025).

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.
