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. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you
    don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally
    wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Thank you!

  2. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be precisely what
    I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers
    to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write in relation to here.
    Again, awesome web site!

  3. Having read this I believed it was rather enlightening.

    I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this content together.
    I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount
    of time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  4. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
    Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I
    can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about
    creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you
    have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

    anybody get that type of information in such an ideal
    way of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the search for such info.

  7. Bei allen drei Produktarten muss man die Haare in Passagen teilen und jede als
    solche/r/s tönen bzw. färben. Auch eine Mousse sollte man nicht wild, wie beispielsweise Shampoo, im Haar verteilen. 3.
    Wie bereite ich mich vorm Färbeprozess richtig vor?

    Sonst wird die Farbe nicht gleichmäßig. Ganz wichtig: Vor dem Färbeprozess aufs Haarewaschen verzichten und die Farbe oder
    Blondierung immer auf die trockenen, nicht gewaschenen Haare und somit auf die Ausgangshaarfarbe auftragen, da der
    leichte Talgfilm die Kopfhaut schützt. Ratsam außerdem: die Haare einige Tage
    vorm Färben mit Pflegekuren zu verwöhnen, damit die Farbe gleichmäßig angenommen wird.
    In den Tagen davor auch mit stark festigendem Styling sparsam umgehen, damit
    die Haarfarbe ohne Zweifel gleichmäßig wird. Sollte später doch was
    danebengehen: Kleckse auf der Haut sofort mit Wasser wegrubbeln und auch Farbflecken auf Keramik gleich mit einem
    feuchten Tuch entfernen. Damit man beim Prozess Flecken vorbeugt, die Gesichtskonturen und Ohren gut mit einer Fettcreme einreiben, das vermeidet das Anfärben der Haut.
    Aus der Kleidung lässt sich Farbe nur bei Temperaturen ab 60 Grad
    entfernen – und Flecken der Blondierung bleichen die Textilien leider für Zeit und Ewigkeit.

  8. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    Nevertheless think about 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 certainly be one of the best in its field.
    Amazing blog!
