Christianity EtcHappy 93rd Birthday Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI: 16th April 1927-April 2020 by pennywys(op): 6:10pm On Apr 15, 2020
Pope Benedict XVI: born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger; 16 April 1927) is a retired prelate of the Catholic Church who served as head of the Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 2005 until his resignation in 2013. Benedict's election as pope occurred in the 2005 papal conclave that followed the death of Pope John Paul II. Benedict chose to be known by the title "pope emeritus" upon his resignation. Ordained as a priest in 1951 in his native Bavaria, Ratzinger embarked on an academic career and established himself as a highly regarded theologian by the late 1950s. He was appointed a full professor in 1958 at the age 31. After a long career as a professor of theology at several German universities, he was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising and Cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1977, an unusual promotion for someone with little pastoral experience. In 1981, he was appointed Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, one of the most important dicasteries of the Roman Curia. From 2002 until his election as pope, he was also Dean of the College of Cardinals. Prior to becoming pope, he was "a major figure on the Vatican stage for a quarter of a century"; he had an influence "second to none when it came to setting church priorities and directions" as one of John Paul II's closest confidants. He has lived in Rome since 1981.
His prolific writings generally defend traditional Catholic doctrine and values. He was originally a liberal theologian, but adopted conservative views after 1968. During his papacy, Benedict XVI advocated a return to fundamental Christian values to counter the increased secularisation of many Western countries. He views relativism's denial of objective truth, and the denial of moral truths in particular, as the central problem of the 21st century. He taught the importance of both the Catholic Church and an understanding of God's redemptive love. Pope Benedict also revived a number of traditions, including elevating the Tridentine Mass to a more prominent position. He strengthened the relationship between the Catholic Church and art, promoted the use of Latin, and reintroduced traditional papal garments, for which reason he was called "the pope of aesthetics". He has been described as "the main intellectual force in the Church" since the mid-1980s.
On 11 February 2013, Benedict unexpectedly announced his resignation in a speech in Latin before the cardinals, citing a "lack of strength of mind and body" due to his advanced age. His resignation became effective on 28 February 2013. He is the first pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415, and the first to do so on his own initiative since Celestine V in 1294. As pope emeritus, Benedict retains the style of His Holiness and continues to dress in the papal colour of white. He was succeeded by Pope Francis on 13 March 2013, and he moved into the newly renovated Mater Ecclesiae Monastery for his retirement on 2 May 2013. In his retirement, Benedict XVI has made occasional public appearances alongside Francis.
In addition to his native German, Benedict speaks French, Italian and English fluently. He also has an excellent command of Latin and speaks Spanish adequately. Furthermore, he has much knowledge of Portuguese. He can read Ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew. He has stated that his first foreign language is French. He is a member of several scientific academies, such as the French Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques. He plays the piano and has a preference for Mozart and Bach.

Good day viewers,

We are back again after 2 weeks break. We have concluded another coverage of Port Harcourt. This time around, it is Trans Amadi areas up to Amadi Ama, Okujiagu etc.

What we have covered this morning is mind blowing and will give another perspective of the oil rich Port Harcourt.
It is worthy of note that the new coverage will add extra 20000 to 100000 new viewers on Nairaland. So it is a win-win for the "viewers and viewees".

If we receive 500-1000 likes, we will consider start sharing. Goodluck to you all and remain safe.

PoliticsRe: President Buhari Didn't Wear Face-Mask. EU Delegates Wore FaceMasks As They Meet by pennywys(m): 9:48am On Apr 15, 2020
Wilstino:
[s]Before you speculate, Experts says wearing nose mask, only helps prevent an infected person from passing the virus, it does not prevent an uninfected person from contracting it. Hence social distancing and good hygiene is being advocated. This is also the reason people are now advised to wear nose mask.

Hence, you may also look at it from the angle that Mr President is clean and doesn't want anyone meeting with him, to infect him with the virus.[/s]

RomanceRe: Is She Maried Or Not - Please Guys, I Need Opinion by pennywys(m): 7:25am On Apr 15, 2020
bolacruz:
[s]Hello every Nairalander, i need you take and opinion on this.

So i have an ex who want us to come together, she is not asking me to marry her but just to service her (sex) as we use to do in those days. She is presently a mother. The problem is she is married, hmmm kind of, really this is where am confused. I do not really know how to classify this.

Okay, she use to or still married to a man, but they are not living together anymore for more than two years now and when they were still staying physically together there was no more sex inolve in the relationship for a long time (about two or more years) before moving out. Technically divorce but have not gone through the court divorce process due to the regorosity involved. The man still want her back but her mind is mind up. She is presently living alone with her child in Abuja in her rented apartment.

Her separation from him has noting to do with me just their irreconcilable differences. She is very choosy person, so am not surprise i was her first call, as been a familiar face. I don't really see them coming together ever, i may be wrong sha, she is also trying to initiate the divorce process.

Am not going to narrate the reason for their separation but chai, the hubby really really messed up. I must commend her, lots of women will endure some nonsense all in the name of marriage.

So guys what do you think, She is married but technically divorce, do you think i can help her out as in sex of a thing. I know she can surely get what she demandded from someone else but am also kind of interested but for a married woman, hell no. But is she still married?

RomanceRe: How Do I Tell Her To Go? The Lockdown Is Tiring Already by pennywys(m): 11:34am On Apr 14, 2020
MadeBoy:
[s]I'm a guy that likes my privacy reasons of my quality time to think and pray for hours. Because I face a lot of spiritual challenges. And my midnight prayers have been helping me. Most especially when I had a nightmare or anytime I woke up.

I will seal up my windows and doors while my AC is blasting high. And even when I raise up my voice it doesn't come out.

The government just extended the lockdown which is tiring. She came to my house and doesn't want to leave. I have so many debts on my head now and my yearly house rent is expiring soon. This is the period I need to be alone in prayers. The little I have now I am using it to take care of her which I would have uses for myself to prolong the suffering during this lockdown. Branch and carbon are sending me SMS to pay my loans.

My apartment is so cussing, chilling and so comfortable more than her house by far. Maybe reason she doesn't want to go. She will be disturbing me and dragging remot control with me. When I am watching TV she will just change it to nollywood drama.

I do want her to be coming and going. Not just to come and stay like she is doing now. I'm not use to this type of life unlike some of my friends.

Outside of all this, I do not see future with her just normal control things..

I have not been able to leave the house or do other personal private stuff.

I need her to go maybe coming on some weekends or when invited.[/s]
Ewu just say you don't have money to care for the babe which is more understandable, but crying that she disturbing you midnight prayers and spiritual life sounds rubbish

FamilyRe: My Stepmother Poured Hot Water On My Baby! I'm So Angry by pennywys(m): 9:20pm On Apr 13, 2020
Tiarababy:
I'm married with one kid. My husband lost his job when I was seven months pregnant. We are no longer living together. I'm back to my dad's house with my step mom and 4 siblings.

Things are not easy for us here because my step mom hated us from day one. She only cooks for herself, my dad and her children. She don’t give me and my baby and my brother from the same mom food. I have been managing with the little money I get from my husband. I do cook for us to eat that’s a story from another day.

Last week I went to meet with my husband to get money he promised to give me to stock up foods for us during this lock down. I left my baby with my brother only for me to come and meet my brother carrying my baby. She was screaming in pain and when I looked she had burn in her body from her right chest to her right hand. I almost collapsed because I left my baby very fine in good healt.

My brother said my step mom was preparing tea for her kids so she had left the hot water in the pot and my baby fell on the hot water. I got angry at my brother how could he be careless not to watch my baby when he knew our step mom don’t like us. I almost hit him and my step mom didn’t care. She acted like nothing, not even a sorry to me. My dad says I should be quiet accidents do happen and it’s nothing to be angry about. His words really shocked me but what can I do.

What pained me is my little sister of 5 years opened up to me that it was my step mom who poured water on the baby because she caught my baby eating her bread she left and she told her to keep quiet if she tells she will beat her and she pleaded with me not to tell her mum.

I knew she did it because she is very wicked but because I had no proof, I had to be quiet but now her daughter has confirmed she did, I want to deal with her because am so angry seeing my baby in so much pain.

Why pour hot water on a baby just because of bread? I hate her and I want to pour hot water on her too while she sleeps so she can feel the same pain she put my innocent baby.

Should I pour hot water on her too or what is the best way to deal with this witch?
young woman I feel so sorry and heart broken about this text I read. if I may ask, your husband doesn't he have a roof over his head? Why can't just manage there with him? Retaliating your step mum with hot water is not the best way, she may come after you with security agencies. Please, just try to give ur baby the best care you can. I will love to know which particular job field your husband can function and fit in properly. Contact me through my email pennysylva@gmail.com

FamilyRe: Is My Dad Trying To Have An Extramarital Affair? by pennywys(m): 10:48pm On Apr 11, 2020
whyteteeth:
Eversince this lockdown I have been home with my parents and there is a way my dad looks at one particular lady whenever she comes around to buy things in my mother's shop which I think is inappropriate. He teases her and calls her sweet names also. As a guy I have tried not to take it serious since it's one thing a lot of men do but I am beginning to suspect my dad for trying to have an extramarital affair with this said woman. She is beautiful though and she is still a young woman while my dad is in his fifties.

Now today, My father asked this same woman who happens to be a female tailor and makes female clothes to help him fix a zip in one of his trousers, which has possibly gone bad.

The woman blushed and didn't really give him much attention or any reasonable answer while he was busy saying it repeatedly till the woman left. I find this a little bit disturbing and inappropriate and possibly giving wrong signals. I mean it's not like it's a new clothe the woman was making for him or something. .

Another reason why I find this inappropriate and indecent is that, the zip can actually be fixed by any of these aboki people that mend clothes. Aboki do pass around my area every now and then, even yesterday they passed. So I want to know if my dad is up to something? And if he is, well i will just know for knowing sake.
son what's wrong with your dad playing away huuuh. For the fact that ur dad is in his fifties doesn't mean he should stop learning. Biko allow chief to taste the difference.
