Reading an Apostolic Letter from a Pope at a Public State University Library Study Area

Reading Patris Corde at the State University Library, Photo by Meryl Viola Bravo  At a study of intellectual basis of authority comes the discipline of reading, writing and the right to be educated. Religious Freedom in the United States of America delivers a serious condition of meeting the world at the discussion of knowledge in what world leaders propose are the dimensions of Peace and a United Nations. Thank you for the insight of the writings of Popes from the past and present to be studied at any public school system for research and analysis at the core of Humanity and World Religions.

The Praxis of Serving the Cause of Peace

A Citizen, Memorial for Veterans of a Country, Upland City Hall, California The Christians of that time thus expressed in a remarkable way the inseparable connection between the mysterium of the hidden presence of the Lord and the praxis of serving the cause of peace, of Christians being peace. (Ratzinger, Joseph Cardinal, "Eucharist-Communio-Solidarity."   On the Way to Jesus Christ , 20 June 2023,  https://www.google.com/books/edition/On_the_Way_to_Jesus_Christ/wYtHDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover.) It is a decision of a country to memorialize the servants who serve a country.  The service is rendered for the other.  Death is no longer but the country is alive in the servant. Meryl Viola Bravo

The Public Conscience

Are there realities about a public consciousness in meeting an efficient grace of being well? What the law delivers establishes a common effort of meeting this wellness, wholeness and Eternal happiness. Do we have a public standard of ordered grace? Is it American? Meryl Viola Bravo "The spiritual awakening to the Christian faith became possible because there were men in Israel whose hearts were searching, who were not satisfied with the current customs and were watching for something greater: Mary, Elizabeth, the Twelve, and all the others who appear in the New Testament.  The Gentile Church became possible because, both in the Mediterranean  region and in those areas of the Near and Middle East that were reached by the missionaries, there were expectant people who did not content themselves with the status quo but who were looking for the star that would show them the way to the true Savior of the world.  To speak of the unique and universal Mediator of salvation, Jesus Christ,

A Ratzinger Prize, Meryl Viola Bravo

On the Eve of His passing, the Cardinal who was Prefect of the Doctrine of Faith became the new Pope and it was certain to me that His Pontificate was not at an end, but a succession.  Pope Benedict XVI delivered a continued succession of His Office designated by His Holiness Pope John Paul II.  And now, he has passed on this succession to Gorge Cardinal Borgoglio, Pope Francis. It is announced that Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has entered into Eternal Rest. May the Chair of St. Peter reign.

To Teach without error

How does one author a reality to contain an office of Teacher without error?  It is manifested by those who saw the error and corrected the error.  Are there persons claiming to be teacher?  Are they erroneous in their office as teacher?  Who determined the error? The Teacher. Meryl Viola Bravo  "The mission of the Magisterium is linked to the definitive nature of the covenant established by God with His people in Christ.  It is this Magisterium's task to preserve God's people from deviations and defections and to guarantee them the objective possibility of professing true faith without error" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 890).

What is Exterior Catholicity?

Amidst all of the social inventions of manifesting an exterior commodity of meeting a standard of Catholicity, I never find the interior gaze of its exterior as people seek the quantitative factors on the "number of clicks" and the "number of likes and dislikes."  The qualitative persuasive standard of the exterior delivers incompatible. As the question poses, "What is Exterior Catholicity?"  I stand as insignificant with what the exterior demands to be promoting the "Interior Catholicity." Meryl Viola Bravo, M.A. "The decisive element must be qualitative catholicity.  But this very quality does not allow for aquiescence in the status quo of a given circle; rather, it continually calls for the missionary dynamic of the leaven, which permeates the entire mass of dough---of the light, which shines for all upon the lampstand.  That is why the Church that wants to be Catholic must strive, on the basis of this interior catholicity, toward the ext
