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. wonderful issues altogether, you simply
    won a new reader. What would you recommend about your
    publish that you made a few days in the past? Any
    certain?

  2. Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.

    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  3. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit

    to say that this write-up very compelled me to check out and
    do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.

  6. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a
    lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any
    solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  7. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet
    the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole
    thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  8. Good way of telling, and pleasant piece of writing to obtain data on the topic
    of my presentation subject, which i am going to deliver in school.

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

    enjoyable work.

  11. I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, but I by
    no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It is lovely value enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably
    did, the internet might be a lot more useful than ever before.

    I was looking for this certain info for a long time.
    Thank you and good luck.

    locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

  14. Greetings! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a team of volunteers and starting a new
    initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us useful information to work
    on. You have done a extraordinary job!

  15. I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as
    with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or

    see a great blog like this one nowadays.

  19. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
    it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
