Finiteness has to do with the existence of boundaries. Intuitively, we feel that where there is a separation, a border, a threshold – there is bound to be at least one thing finite out of a minimum of two. This, of course, is not true. Two infinite things can share a boundary. Infinity does not imply symmetry, let alone isotropy. An entity can be infinite to its “left” – and bounded on its right. Moreover, finiteness can exist where no boundaries can. Take a sphere: it is finite, yet we can continue

Encyclopedia of World Biography internet). To certain degree, the cardinal agreed with them and “...cooperated on a program of reforms...and he allowed the Huguenots to continue practicing their religion as long as they stayed loyal to the king” (Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu Biography, Encyclopedia of World Biography internet). Though this seems to be a generous action on Richelieu 's behalf, from a Catholic viewpoint, the Cardinal did not fulfill his position as a Catholic in truly advancing

infinity”. He defined potential infinity by saying if you are counting natural numbers, logic would tell us that we can always add one to the previous number and that can potentially go on forever. He also said that we could potentially use this logic in geometry if we imagined a line that extended beyond both points with no recognizable end. On the contrary, actual infinity seems paradoxical because even if we had an infinite number of “things” in a category then infinity would still be “whole” in a sense

Several seasons back, there was a program on one of the cable television stations entitled “Long Lost Family”. The premise of the program was to reunite family members who had been separated for many years, sometimes decades, to make a family “whole” again. Sometimes the story was about parents and children lost through adoption or custody situations. Most frequently, it was about siblings who, because of family feuds or other dysfunctions, had been apart for many years. Sometimes other siblings

repeat this several times until I formatively assess students are transitioning smoothly from one new number word to the next without hesitation. 5) I shall then instruct students to chorally say the numbers in sequence without me modeling as I point to them in stable order. 6) The final step in establishing the “Stable Order Rule” will be to repeat each step of this process starting from the number 1 all the way to 15. One-to-One Correspondence would be the next counting principle I would address

It is not unheard of to see workers protesting against the executives of their company; whether it is for better working conditions, a higher salary, or new policies that they don’t agree with. In fact, throughout American history, specifically with beginning with the Industrial Revolution, employees have protested for their rights to be acknowledged and for their voices to be heard. However, the Market Basket protest that took place during the summer of 2014 is an exception to this norm. Not unlike

pointed out, “The prophetic intuition of Pope Paul VI had a determining role in this (recognition of the CCR by the Church). In that, on Pentecost of 1975 at a meeting with its leaders, he defined the Charismatic Renewal as a ‘chance’ for the Church.” Cardinal L.J. Suenens, a protagonist of CCR, recognized it as “a current of grace” and convinced Pope Paul VI of the need for the Church to accept and encourage the Renewal in order that it should not grow in isolation. In the summer of 1975, some 10,000

The third and longest chapter of the book dealt with how the documents have been received and implemented in the church over the last forty years. What appears to be evident is there was a lot of confusion in how and what needed to be done to implement the teachings of Vatican II. Gaillardetz quotes John Henry Newman at the beginning of the chapter, “it is uncommon that a Council not be followed by great confusion.” Gaillardetz shows that the two major proponents for helping to understand the council

Pope John XXIII was one of the most influential Popes the Catholic Church had in the 20th century, and perhaps one of the most important in its history. What he was able to do for the Church in his short amount of time holding the Papacy was incredible. Originally seen as a transitional Pope, John XXIII was certainly much more than that. His work in connecting with those of different denominations of Christianity, as well as those of different faiths, has been instrumental to this day. And, most

A New Era for Catholicism? There has been a new renewal in the Catholic Church since Argentina’s Bishop, Father Francis, became the new Pope. This renewal appears evident when listening to the Pope’s speech on homosexuality. Many of the world’s approximately one billion Catholics were shocked that he is taking a liberal stance in the Church and opening the Catholic community to these supposed sinners. However, it is important to consider why people still view Pope Francis as an open-minded Pope
