On the other hand, the same root gives us "plenum" which can mean, perversely, either a space that is entirely full of matter, or a space which is entirely empty, in addition to meaning a meeting of an assembly in which all members are present.

But full will do in the context of the Magnificat.

Does anyone remember where this was said? I'd like to read the full statement.

If you would like to read the whole thing, then log out and take the first step to register.

Put it this way. Eastern Christians - both Catholic and Orthodox - are the hosts and the immediate family members of this community. Roman Catholics, Protestant and other Christians are our cherished brothers living next door. Non-Christians are our neighbors who live across the street. All are welcome.

Thanks, Administrator.

Oh, no...not this...not here! I recognize Invictus' original post--not something I expected to encounter at this forum, to be honest--as typical of the sort of reactionary "scorched earth" approach to "reforming the reforms" of Vatican II that one would expect to encounter at, for example, Father Z's WDTPRS blog or at the Catholic Answers Forum or at that Lefebvrist forum that I have seen and have been terrified by.

I puzzle as to why one would attempt to export this esoteric traditionalist Roman Catholic battle to the internet enclaves of Eastern Christianity, thereby utterly bewildering, surely, so many of the poor, unsuspecting Orthodox and Eastern Catholic members who people this forum, demanding of them a reaction to something that they, if they are fortunate, are entirely oblivious to.

*Sigh* The world is a funny little place.
