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. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic
    to be actually something that I think I
    would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang
    of it!

  2. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  3. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let
    you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two
    different browsers and both show the same outcome.

  4. After looking over a few of the blog posts on your web site, I truly like your way of blogging.

    more neatly-favored than you may be right now. You are very intelligent.
    You know thus significantly on the subject of this subject,
    made me for my part consider it from a lot of various angles.

  10. Zusätzlich bestimmt das Kabel die Reichweite – ist es nicht lang genug, muss der Staubsauger
    an einer anderen Steckdose angeschlossen werden. Beim Akkusauger treten diese Probleme des Saugens nicht auf.

    Er besteht aus einer verstellbaren Saugstange ohne einen sperrigen Korpus und Kabel.

    Treppen stellen jeden Bodensauger vor eine Herausforderung.
    In beiden Fällen bietet der Akku-Staubsauger mit leichtem tragbarem Korpus mehr Flexibilität und eine einfachere Handhabung.
    Bei kabelgebundenen Staubsaugern ist der Saugschlauch zumeist nicht sehr lang, sodass höher gelegene Stellen nicht oder nur schwer zu erreichen sind.

    Wie gut reinigen Akku-Staubsauger den zu saugenden Bereich?
    Die Saugleistung der Akku-Staubsauger wird von den kabelgebundenen Bodenstaubsaugern übertroffen. Akku-Staubsauger haben nicht nur Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Bodenstaubsaugern, sondern bringen auch Nachteile mit sich, die
    hier gegenübergestellt werden. Kabelgebundene Staubsauger können beliebig
    lang auf beliebig starkem Saug-Modus benutzt werden, während
    die Laufzeit des Akkusaugers a fortiori bei hoher Saugstufe stark begrenzt ist.
    Viele Akku-Staubsauger halten im stärksten Saug-Modus nur wenige Minuten durch.
    Manche Modelle haben eine Laufzeit von nur 10 Minuten, was meist nicht ausreicht,
    um den gesamten Haushalt zu säubern.

  14. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
