“We make this pronouncement: Whether considered as a doctrine, or an historical fact, or a movement, Socialism, if it remains truly Socialism, even after it has yielded to truth and justice on the points which we have mentioned, cannot be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church because its concept of society itself is utterly foreign to Christian truth. If Socialism, like all errors, contains some truth (which, moreover, the Supreme Pontiffs have never denied), it is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist. We have also summoned Communism and Socialism again to judgment and have found all their forms, even the most modified, to wander far from the precepts of the Gospel.” [Pope Pius XI, Quadragessimo anno, #'s 117, 120 & 128, May 15, 1931] https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11quadr.htm “This all too imminent danger, Venerable Brethren, as you have already surmised, is bolshevistic and atheistic Communism, which aims at upsetting the social order and at undermining the very foundations of Christian civilization... The Communism of today, more emphatically than similar movements in the past, conceals in itself a false messianic idea. A pseudo-ideal of justice, of equality and fraternity in labor impregnates all its doctrine and activity with a deceptive mysticism, which communicates a zealous and contagious enthusiasm to the multitudes entrapped by delusive promises. This is especially true in an age like ours, when unusual misery has resulted from the unequal distribution of the goods of this world.” [Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris, #'s 3 & 8, March 19, 1937] https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11divin.htm #Catholic

“And you shall be called by a new name, the holy Church; the mouth of the Lord will impose this name, saying: upon this rock I will build my Church, and the strong bars of hell will not overcome it... The Lord, when he built his Church, built a tower, whose foundation is such that it will support everything that is built on top of it... You are the rock, that rock, which he established, so that he might repulse Satan with it. On the contrary, Satan wanted to turn this rock against the Lord, to overcome him with it, when Peter said to the Lord: Lord, this shall never happen to you...” [St. Ephrem, Commentary on Isaiah 62:2, 4th century] #Catholic

“There is nothing that gives more honor to God, and contributes more to our own welfare, than the devout reception of the Holy Eucharist; and there is, on the contrary, nothing more injurious to God and more hurtful to our souls than an unworthy Communion.” [Rev.

“That we may fully understand Mary's power, we find it necessary to refer to one other of her titles, that of Queen of heaven, which all Christians have ever given to her. It is not an empty title, but it signifies that Mary has that special dominion in heaven, which properly belongs to a Queen. This dominion arises from the union and affinity that exists between God and the Blessed Virgin. Because Christ is King and Lord, the mother who brought Him forth, is Queen and Mistress. This dominion is similar to that which belongs to a wife or mother, by reason of their connection with a king. Although she has not the supreme power of commanding, she has that which belongs to a queen above all other subjects; and thus a higher honour is due to her than to the other Saints. She alone, under Christ, occupies a place in heaven above all the Choirs of Angels and Saints, as is becoming the Mother of the King, and the Queen of all the heavenly inhabitants.” [Rev. Arthur Devine, The Creed Explained, pp. 150-151, 1903] https://archive.org/details/thecreedexplaine00deviuoft #Catholic

““Let us implore,” Venerable Brethren, “God’s mercy from our inmost heart and with our whole mind; because He has Himself added, ‘I will not remove my mercy from them.’ Let us ask and we shall receive; and if there be delay and slowness in our receiving because we have gravely offended, let us knock, because to him that knocketh it shall be opened, if only the door be knocked by our prayers, groans and tears, in which we must persist and persevere, and if the prayer be unanimous... let each man pray to God, not for himself alone, but for all his brethren, as the Lord hath taught us to pray.” [13] But in order that God may the more readily assent to the prayers and desires of ourselves, of you and of all the faithful, let us with all confidence employ as or advocate with Him the Immaculate and most holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God, who has slain all heresies throughout the world, and who, the most loving Mother of us all, “is all sweet... and full of mercy... shows herself to all as easily entreated; shows herself to all as most merciful; pities the necessities of all with a most large affection;” [14] and standing as a Queen at the right hand of her only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in gilded clothing, surrounded with variety, can obtain from Him whatever she will. Let us also seek the suffrages of the Most Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of Paul, his Fellow-Apostle, and of all the Saints in Heaven, who having now become God’s friends, have arrived at the heavenly kingdom, and being crowned bear their palms, and being secure of their own immortality are anxious for our salvation.” [Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, #11, December 8, 1864] [13] St. Cyprian, epist. 11.

Formula 1 Has A Braking Problem YouTube video by Driver61

The reason?

A complex balancing act between braking, energy recovery and aerodynamics that the new rules have brought."

He would either not write the letter, or inform Francesco he can't talk about such things, rather than lie.

Maybe you missed it, but the date of the letter is 1641, ~1 year before he died, which isn't before, during, or immediately after his trial/any punishment.

“The reverence paid by Catholics to holy images does not offend against the commandment of God. It is true that the latter part of the first commandment declares: “Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing,” but this is explained by the words that follow: “Thou shalt not adore them (non adorabis ea), nor serve them.” (Exodus xx. 4, 5, and Deuteronomy v. 9.) The meaning, therefore, clearly is: Thou shalt not make unto thyself a graven thing or idol for the sake of adoring it as a false god or idol. The words, “bow down,” in the Protestant version, instead of “adore,” are calculated unhappily to mislead unreflecting persons. This commandment cannot be taken to condemn the use of images intended to promote the honor and worship of our Lord Jesus Christ, the true living God, or the inferior honor due to the holy angels and the saints, as this is not worship of strange gods, and, therefore, not idolatry.” [Rev. Henry A. Brann, The Glories of the Catholic Church, Volume 1, p, 174, 1895] #Catholic https://archive.org/details/gloriesofcatholi0000unse

For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. [27] Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. [28] But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. [29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. [30] Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep. https://drbo.org/chapter/53011.htm #Catholic

What Rule is to be observed in the Interpretation of Scripture. But it will be said, If the words, the sentiments, the promises of Scripture, are appealed to by the Devil and his disciples, of whom some are false apostles, some false prophets and false teachers, and all without exception heretics, what are Catholics and the sons of Mother Church to do? How are they to distinguish truth from falsehood in the sacred Scriptures? They must be very careful to pursue that course which, in the beginning of this Commonitory, we said that holy and learned men had commended to us, that is to say, they must interpret the sacred Canon according to the traditions of the Universal Church and in keeping with the rules of Catholic doctrine, in which Catholic and Universal Church, moreover, they must follow universality, antiquity, consent. And if at any time a part opposes itself to the whole, novelty to antiquity, the dissent of one or a few who are in error to the consent of all or at all events of the great majority of Catholics, then they must prefer the soundness of the whole to the corruption of a part; in which same whole they must prefer the religion of antiquity to the profaneness of novelty; and in antiquity itself in like manner, to the temerity of one or of a very few they must prefer, first of all, the general decrees, if such there be, of a Universal Council, or if there be no such, then, what is next best, they must follow the consentient belief of many and great masters. Which rule having been faithfully, soberly, and scrupulously observed, we shall with little difficulty detect the noxious errors of heretics as they arise.

“... one should know that the law of the Christians consists in faith and good works. For faith is the first of all virtues in the lives of believers. Whence, even on the first day there is said to be light, since God is portrayed as having said: Let there be light, [Gen.1:3] that is, "let the illumination of belief appear." Indeed, it is also because of this illumination that Christ came down to earth. Good work is no less demanded from a Christian; for just as it is written in our law: Without faith it is impossible to please God, [Heb. 11:6] so it is also written: Just as a body without a spirit is dead, so, too, faith without works is dead. [James 2:20] This is the Christian law, and whoever keeps this law properly, shall be saved.” [Pope St. Nicholas I, Letter 99, Questions of the Bulgars, 866] #Catholic https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/866nicholas-bulgar.asp
