1st. One of the officieal titles that goes with that job is Grand Inquisitor
No, the official title for that job is what you said "Prefect of the Congregation fro me Doctrine of the Faith." There is no position of "Grand Inquisitor" in the church today.
2nd. This reads like something Orwell might haw written in 1984... enforeced against teachers
If someone is teaching Catholic Theology, they should teach Catholic Theology, not their own personal opinions. If they do say their own opinions instead of official teaching, they should say so. Also, remember that being a member of the Catholic Church, or teaching at a Catholic school is a voluntary thing, not something someone is forced into.
3rd. The quote from Cardinal Ratzinger.
Sure, take something out of place and post it here with all sorts of evil things around it, and everyone goes "how horrible! He's worse than Microsoft/AOL/RIAA/Whoever it is this week"
Oh, and the document is titled "Instruction on the Ecclesial Vocation of Theologian." And it written to Bishops and others who are used to Theological language which may seem odd to those who are not used to it.
I could go on, but please let's keep our theology and church-bashing out of/. This is not the place.
I use Perl for some very simple reasons:
1. I got some Perl books for free.
2. My friends use Perl, and I can look at and learn from their code.
3. I can easily find other short little Perl programs to look at and modify.
Yes, I am just learning how to program. Yes, these may not bet the best reasons to choose a progaming language, yes Python may be better at some things than Perl, no I am not saying that all Python programers are the spawn of the devil, or that everyone who uses Perl is a saint, it just ends up that it's what works for me. If Python works best for you, GO FOR IT. If not, fine.
The volcanos in Hawaii work by being over a 'hot spot' in the Mantle, and as the crust moves volcanos die and one further south starts up. They're not like volcanos in other parts of the world where a lava tube comes up.

But you would be taxed a different amount. Also, as I've said earlier, under that plan I would have to pay NJ sales tax even though I live in a state with NO sales tax.
If there is a tax on Internet purchases, it should be like regular mail-order is now, where if a NJ resident buys from a NJ seller, then they pay NJ sales tax automagically, otherwise it's up to the individual to report it (or not)
Bad idea, for one reason, and that is that sales taxes suck:-)
Really, I hate sales tax, mostly because I've lived almost my entire life in Oregon, which has no sales tax. I like getting to look at a price and knowing that is what I will actually pay. I like walking into 7-11 with $1 and getting a Supper Big Gulp and getting a penny back and not having to come up with $.03 more. Yes, it would be easier on-line because the computer will do all the math, but I still don't like the idea at all.
Well, Delaware will still get corporate income taxes, personal income taxes from all of those employers, property taxes from that huge warehouse...
Oregon also has no sales tax, and I'm sure that everyone (except the anti-growth people) would love to have big companies come here (Amazon was thinking of moving to Portland at one point...)
The question I want to know is how are they going to charge sales taxes if they decide to. Is this going to be like mail-order, where you have to pay sales tax only if you live in the same state as the company?
I live in Oregon, we don't have sales tax, and I don't want to pay sales tax just because www.buysomethinghere.com is in another state that does. (then again, I also don't want all those Californian companies re-locating to Oregon to get out of paying taxes...)
I think that this is very cool, not just in the way that is right up there - i.e. how they did it. But that it shows something about the "geek."
You see, most people think of Astronomers as geek-science types, while they think of Van Gogh as an artist. And the two never meet, right? Yet many geeks out there have many different interests.
Hopefully, we would be in Europe, because people would finally stop telling me my Greek major is useless.
I would probably live like a beggar, but then I really don't mind that:-) I'd probably join a religious order (monastic or mendicant) and spend my life quite content (even if it didn't reach our 'standard of living')

Hey, they found stars in my web browser? :-)
Sorry... just found it funny...
