Holy See

Hey fellow adventurers! In an earlier post I promised to elaborate and (attempt to) explain the Holy See. It’s a bit complicated so I’ll give a brief explanation and link a must-read site and a must-watch video. They’re super quick and very interesting!

Very simply: The Holy See is the government of the Catholic church. The pope both rules over Vatican City and controls the Holy See. But don’t get them confused. The Holy See owns property all around the world (mostly churches), and Vatican City is just the most famous. The Holy See often involves itself with international issues, including, but not limited to issues regarding human rights, peace and conflict prevention, poverty eradication and development, environmental protection, and inter-religious understanding. Though we can’t forget its ties to Catholicism, since the Holy See is also in charge of making laws for the Catholic church.

You can read a little bit more about it here, and its relations to the United States (I apologize if anyone outside of the United States feels ostracized since that is never my intention):

Or you can watch the YouTube video down below. I love cute, little informational videos like this. I highly recommend you watch the whole thing, but if you really want to skip the history part since that was my last blog post, skip to 1:38.

By the way if you’ve been leaving me questions, I’m sorry that I don’t respond to them very often. To be honest, I have a hard time getting to them because I must filter out at least 1,000 spam comments every week. Spam containing links is most of what I see. And I actually don’t get that many questions about the content of the blog. The question that comes up most often is what program I use. I use Word Press through the site where my father-in-law bought the web address bryannabartel.com. However, it’s very frustrating doing it that way because even though I do pay for Word Press through the website, Word Press acts like I’m just another blogger using the free version. The second most popular question is about my layout. It just came with Word Press. And the last most popular question is whether it’s difficult/time consuming to write a blog. For me, that depends on the topic. Music and food blogs are my favorite because most of the time is spent listening to music and eating food, so no, not difficult. But some topics require more research, and it honestly feels like I’m back in college again writing a short essay sometimes. Depending on what’s happening in my life, it can be difficult to write 3 blog posts a week. So far, I’ve only missed one blog though. I do have the snacks, uneaten, that I was planning on reviewing for that post so later on I might just double post one of these days. And while I’m talking about myself (which I never do), I might as well tell anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m pregnant. When the baby is due in July, I’m going to try really hard to keep up this blog but I can’t promise that I won’t miss some days. This is my first kid, and I really can’t say how blogging and being a mother will go. Plenty of mothers do it so maybe I’ll still be publishing 3 posts a week. If you’ve read this far, thank you, and that’s my little heads up that this blog might get even more sporadic later this year. Well that’s all for today’s post! Thank you so much for reading for my blog! And as always, until our next adventure!

  1. Right here is the right web site for anybody who would
    like to understand this topic. You know so much its almost tough to
    argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic which has been written about
    for a long time. Great stuff, just excellent!

  2. With havin so much content do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot
    of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot
    of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do
    you know any ways to help stop content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  3. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  4. I have been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or
    blog posts on this sort of space . Exploring
    in Yahoo I eventually stumbled upon this web site. Reading this info So i am happy
    to show that I have an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed.
    I most definitely will make certain to don?t fail
    to remember this website and provides it a look on a continuing basis.

  5. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and all. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video
    clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but
    with pics and clips, this blog could undeniably be
    one of the most beneficial in its niche. Amazing blog!

  7. Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems
    with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  8. This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
    (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed
    what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

  9. Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing
    very good results. If you know of any please share.
    Many thanks!

  10. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that
    service? Thank you!

  11. Admiring the time and effort you put into your blog and in depth information you

  15. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally
    educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you
    have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I found this during my search for something
    concerning this.

  16. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
