But Angels Don't Move Planets, They Are Guardian Angels!

Not So Far Away, Not So Big · "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." · How do we know stellar distances? · But Angels Don't Move Planets, They Are Guardian Angels!

On this feast, this is no doubt what some would like me to conclude, as a kind correction in theology.

Before I answer directly, what are the numbers of angels in comparison to men?

Scenario a) would have all men have their guardian angel, the guardian angels are only taken from the good angels, and 1/3 of the angels fell and became demons. This means, angels are 1 and 1/2 times as numerous as men.
Scenario b) would have it men are created to replace the angels who fell. If 1/3 of all men are saved, this makes the total numbers equal.

In either scenario, and obviously any scenario in which angels are more than 1 and 1/2 times the number of men, angels who are available at a given moment vastly outnumber men who are alive at a given moment.

In either scenario, and obviously any scenario in which angels are more than 1 and 1/2 times the number of men, as time passes on earth, angels are not involved as guardian angels most of the time.

So ...
a) before and after being guardian angels to someone a lifetime, they pray?
b) but then, they pray when doing their duty too:

See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
[Matthew 18:10]

This means, having angels, even guardian angels, as being the movers of planets (and of stars if "aberration and parallax" are in fact proper movement, unrelated to any supposed Heliocentric facts usually invoked to explain them), while they are not on duty as guardian angels is not a problem. And neither is the question what moves the planets and stars while they are on duty, since Riccioli mentioned that God would in such a case take over. You see, in Almagestum Novum, he felt it was appropriate to take off the hat as empirical scientist when speaking of the cause of motions (admitting this to be a problem untestable by empiric means), and took on the hat as theologian.

But there is another solution too.

Praying is neither a chore, nor boring, so there is no actual problem in having the guardian angels just praying before and after the lifetimes of their wards.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
[Hebrews 1:14]

This is not just talking of guardian angels, if it is probable that those foreknown to be damned also have such. It's talking of a project for the same of those who get saved. The guardian angels of the damned also concur in favour of the saved — meaning that ministering for someone who shall receive the inheritance of salvation is not synonymous with being his own guardian angel.

Take another look too:

Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty: 2 And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: 3 Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds. 4 Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire. 5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
[Psalm 103:1b-5]

The angels, spirits, ministers are mentioned in the same breath as fire and in the same context as the cosmos and the atmosphere.

So, yes, whether or not the same angels are also at some time in their pre-judgement carreere serving as someone's guardian angels, they certainly can well be involved in the cosmos. No problem.

PS, In fact, Dom Prosper Guéranger seems to agree pretty much with me, or more importantly with St. Thomas or Riccioli, besides having a lot of other things to say:

Il y a des gens qui imaginent que tout le monde doit être sous quelqu'un d'autre concrètement

Des gens qui imaginent que l'homme qui a encore un père ou une mère dans la vie terrestre est obligé de les consulter et obéir en chaque décision majeure autant que dans la vie commune, en tant qu'il y en ait, et pas juste de les obéir s'ils veulent donner leurs avis, et en tant qu'ils ne dépassent pas leur autorité.

Et pour certains d'entre eux, si on arrive à la mort de ses parents sans être déjà réussi, on doit se donsidérer orphelin et demander d'avoir encore un père ou une mère, par adoption cette fois.

Dans la mesure que ce n'est pas un préjugé personnel, mais coûtumier dans la communauté, ça peut être le signe d'avoir appartenance à quelque religion non-catholique :

• Juif
• Calviniste
• Musulman, peut-être
• Franc-maçon, peut-être

Pour des gens de ces religions là, un homme qui est dans la rue et qui ne sait pas vraiment que faire de sa vie, serait bien entendu très bien inspiré d'aller à Emmaüs ou quelque autre accueil de jour.

Je le note, parce que ce matin, le bus s'est arrêté à Emmaüs Agora.

Notons :

• tout d'abord, je suis Catholique, pas de ces religions là ;
• ensuite, je ne me reconnaîs pas dans le cas, si je me trouve dans la rue, ce n'est pas parce que JE manque de repères, c'est parce que certains D'AUTRES les manquent, par exemple par rapport à l'universalité des droits humains* ou la liberté d'expression ou d'autres.

Car, ça aurait été très facile de m'en sortir, si la rue où je me trouve avait eu la circonspection :

• de m'entendre quand je disais plus qu'une fois que je suis écrivain ;
• de comprendre que par écrivain je n'entends pas juste romancier, ce que je ne suis pas encore, j'entends surtout essayiste, ce que je suis déjà, des milliers de fois depuis 2001, en ligne ;
• de vérifier que :
  • écrivain n'est pas un métier comme avocat ou médecin qui demande une certaine autorisation ;
  • éditeur ne l'est pas non plus ;
• et de conclure que j'avais le droit d'être ce que je suis, écrivain, et eux ils avaient déjà le droit de devenir ce que je proposais, des éditeurs pour certains ;
• et de mettre cette conclusion en pratique.

Encore, pour certains, si je me trouve dans la rue, c'est un signe contre mon intelligence. Donc, contre ma capacité d'écrire quelque chose qui vale la peine de lire. Au contraire. Je ne pense pas que c'était stupide de compter sur davantage d'honnêteté, dans un pays catholique, donc ce n'est pas un manque de circonspection de ma part, c'est un manque de Catholicisme et d'honnêteté de certains autres quartiers (notemment St. Nicolas du Chardonnet) qui m'a fait continuer cette existence assez longtemps.

Ce n'est pas à Emmaüs Agora que je trouve un éditeur, et si un éditeur exige une présentabilité physique telle qu'elle n'est pas accompli par les vêtements réactionnaires que je porte, peut-être ce n'est pas le bon éditeur non plus.

Et si le bon éditeur n'existe pas ? Bon, il pourra exister demain. Éditeur, ça n'exige pas une certaine formation, ça s'improvise, et pour ce qui est du technique, je peux donner d'astuces, personne peut en France vous mettre en prison pour avoir édité un livre qui n'enfreint aucune loi, juste parce que vous n'aviez pas un diplôme du parcours en métiers du livre.

Une chose par contre : ça ne s'improvise pas à partir de la rue. Sans endroit pour stocker les livres physiques, on ne peut pas imprimer et vendre des livres en échelle commerciale.

How do we know stellar distances?

Not So Far Away, Not So Big · "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." · How do we know stellar distances? · But Angels Don't Move Planets, They Are Guardian Angels!

Here is a popular idea among the moderately instructed. Fix stars and objects within them cannot be one light day up, because trigonometry proves alpha Centauri is 4 light years away.

This is probably the reason why I was recommended this video, which arguably is a very good one on trigonometry in a more normal and terrestrial and certain use:

How do trig points actually work?
The Map Reading Company, 27 June 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cc_FtM_WGc

It's just that each triangle actually is measured by two points on a theodolite and one point on a different trig point, which are three bodily objects distant from each other in one and the same moment.

In the case of astronomic trigonometry, Earth is supposed to serve as two different points successively, or alternatingly, as Earth is supposed to move from Summer to Winter position in her supposed circuit around the Sun.

And I think I have pointed out years ago, that the validity or very otherwise of such a move depends very highly on what it is that actually moves.

hglwrites : Geo vs Helio*
https://hglwrites.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/geo-vs-helio/

On the diagram to the right, reflecting Heliocentrism, Earth moves, and the different lines towards the star, in a very exaggerated angle, go out converging to a point outside the picture.

On the diagram to the left, reflecting Geocentrism, the star moves, and the different lines towards the star, same angle, can be cut off basically anywhere. If the star had exactly the same movement as the Sun, yes, the parallax trigonometry would be equal to that in the Heliocentric scenario. I have shown them cut off way closer to Earth, as in star moves considerably less than the Sun.

The Geocentric orbit of Sun around the Zodiac, with the Sun in the middle, is basically the inverse of the Heliocentric orbit of Earth around the Zodiac, with the Sun in the middle.

Aphelion	152,097,597 km	(Apogee)**
Perihelion	147,098,450 km	(Perigee)**

The supposed distance between the two positions of Earth is therefore 299,196,047 km. In Geocentrism, this is the distance between two positions of the Sun, with the same star sign in Zenith. Now, if this were also the distance between two positions of the star — alpha Centauri, it would follow the same mathematics as in Heliocentrism. The star would be 4 light years above us, or more.

Now, what is the real distance travelled by alpha Centauri, if Heliocentrics make it 4 light years up?

Well, if the movement were just the parallax, it would be:

299,196,047 km / (4 * 365) = 204,928.8 km

However, the proper movement executed by the star accounts not just for the parallax, but also for the aberration, c. 20 arc seconds.*** The parallax is just 0.76 arc seconds. In fact, parallax is not measured separately, like by theodolites, in the landscape, they are measured against the background of a much better visible aberration.

204,928.8 km * (20 / 0.76) = 5,392,863.158 km

So, if the overall visible movement (compared to the Zodiac) were taken as parallax, the one mostly taken as aberration, would one take alpha Centauri as more than 20 times further away? No. One would take it as much closer. The smaller the angle, the greater the distance. 0 angle = infinite distance.

So, when, as Geocentric, I cannot know the distance to alpha Centauri from parallax and trigonometry, how do I know it? I first of all know it is so far from Earth as to make Earth virtually a point in relation to the distance. But that's even true of the Sun. Second, I know fix stars are outside of the planets, since the planets come in the way of fix stars when we observe. This means, we can use measures for planetary distances (none of which is as far as one light day) to say stars are even further away. Third, I know the Voyager Space missions have not yet bumped into the stars, and I know they are not fully one light day up.

* This blog of mine was unjustly disconnected. It is still my own material, and I have no qualms linking to it or using it.
** To Heliocentrics, the terms Apogee and Perigee refer to the Lunar such, since only the Moon is supposed to have that, but here we are speaking of Solar Perigee and Apogee.
*** If the Earth moves and light has a finite speed, aberration has to be a physical reality about the light reaching us. However, if the Earth does not move, it's a physical reality about light leaving the star and therefore about where the star is.

So, Angry Atheists Who Were Not Raised As Believers ?

Angry Atheists ... · So, Angry Atheists Who Were Not Raised As Believers ?

Just to start off a comparison, all five raised as some kind of believers, I would say Genetically Modified Sceptic and Paulogia and Kristi Burke, all of whom are Exvangelicals, are far less angry or toxic than Dan Browne or Richard Dawkins, who are both ex-Anglicans.

But surely, no one would consider weak Anglicanism to have more indoctrinated Dan Brown and Richard Dawkins in Bible Truth and Hell Fire than strong Evangelicalism was doing with GMS, KB and Paul?

So, some are even in Sweden, third or fourth generation total unbelievers, far angrier than the Exvangelicals cited.

So, no, it cannot be from the perspective "I'm angry because I was personally traumatised by Christianity" ...

In some cases, there is a kind of family tradition. Magic Sceptic is angry because his own father in his youth was traumatised by Christian Brethren. In some cases in Sweden (or comparable societies, England, Netherlands, North Germany, the rest of the Nordic countries) one grandparent can have been among the ones remaining raised as Christians and that one grandparent can have been traumatised.

But I think, in a lot of cases, sth worse is going on.

A Frenchman was profiting from a girl who went to some kind of therapy, and he could not marry her, because he was already married. So, when she becomes a Christian and is set free and no longer goes to therapy and no longer bonds with him, he is angry. He seems to have been one of the guys behind the misfortunes of Torben Søndergaard in Denmark and who also contacted the ICE authorities in the US, even before he got there. Apart from no longer getting his pleasures from her, he pretends concerned, perhaps honestly (though irrationally) is concerned that her leaving the therapy would have seriously hurt her.

How many other people are angry because Christianity lost themselves power and influence over someone they liked and also liked to manipulate, is a matter on which one can only speculate.

There are other case types.

Someone has had an abortion or a sex change. They will know how Christianity condemns this, so, even some openness to the idea of the supernatural could never reconcile them to the terms of Christianity. They can take Tarot cards or Atheism, or both, but not Christianity. They can take reincarnation or Atheism (hardly both), not Christianity. They can take reiki or homeopathy or standard medicine, but would be the first to denounce faith healers or ridiculise Lourdes.

The last line in my description of them is a cue for medical professionals. Some of them may have seen real cases, many more of them have heard of real and imagined cases in which reliance on a faith healer not just left someone as ill as before, but left him disappointed when there was no improvement, or allowed the disease to fester worse because of delays in seeking out real professionals. Some of these men have an equal dislike for homeopathy and for Christianity.

Some in the case of med professionals, pharmaceutical professionals, computer professionals, whether IT or IA, hold a solid contempt for the past. Mark Robidou was sure Medieval Europe had to have cholera, because the streets were dirty. His area of expertise is, surprise, surprise, not history, least of all Medieval history. He's into IT. Each of these is aware he's on some or even all levels using techniques that were not around in the Middle Ages or the Late Antiquity or the Bronze Age. If this inspires a contempt for these periods, and it often does, this can reflect on things inherited from such periods, like the Christian religion, very notably. As a matter of fact, cholera didn't get close to Europe before the colonial times, an epidemic starting in Bombay in 1817.

In a similar but not quite identic position, there are people who got rich by putting people on assembly lines, paying them perhaps more than they were payed before, if they were ruined farmers or if they were farm hands, but a smaller part of the total gain than previously craftsmen would be paying their journeymen, or they became rich by new banking schemes, including obviously taking of interest, or by outcompeting small competitors thanks to making temporary losses offset by bankloans, and then making the profits by raising their prizes, when the competitor is down. Such people, about 100 - 150 years ago were conscious of building a new world, were conscious that it was unlike the world dominated by Christianity, and got the idea (perhaps very shrewd) that it could be even more their own world if they got rid of Christian influence. Who recalls what role Andrew Carnegie and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching played in pushing Evolution into US schools?

Now, some of these were raised as believers, but this does not necessarily mean they came to show themselves as "traumatised exbelievers" - some might have been, but that class I am talking of in that time was not one for doing psychoanalysis before all of the world or even at all. In many cases, they did not opt for eradicating Christian belief, and in many cases that was because they were dealing with Protestants in a mainly Protestant culture — Protestantism being all about the pliability of Christianity. And Protestantism being since the beginning, historically, very much less supranaturalist in outlook than Catholicism.

Let's recall, in some of these cases, the people who would now hate the guts of Fundie Evangelicals were back then hating Catholicism. This was part of why the Spanish-American War started, the one in which Spain lost Cuba, Guam and the Philippines. Puerto Rico as well, if I recall correctly. This is also one reason to be less pessimistic about the salvation of Fundie Evangelicals than a Feeneyist reading of Gregory XVI would warrant — that Pope was considering the case of not very supranaturalist and sometimes unduly pro-slavery and racist Protestants. Also, in the 1830's, the community most prominent in clerical pederasty were the Anglicans. But anyone who in the 19th C. was pushing "Genesis is part of our holy Scriptures, but it is unreliable" would have been a non-Catholic back then, and the ones who weren't pushing that, were pushing other liberties of the type that Fundamentalists tend to deplore. A journalist recently made a case for modern Fundies being very alien to historic Protestantism. I agree. They would have often enough a lot of cultural issues with Catholicism, even in some cases to the point of very hateful animosity, but they are even so closer to Catholicism. That's the reason why, having gone from Evangelical to Lutheran for historic reasons, and because I began to feel uncomfy with some Pentecostal worship music in my early teens, I then went on from Lutheran to Catholic, when I saw how much Lutherans were open to liberal theology, and how much the Deformation* itself was actually a secularising influence, chasing God out of society.

These guys have the opposite priority. They hate Christianity the more it brings God back into society or threatens to do so. Being a teacher of Earth Sciences often involves you being an Evolutionist, and no, this does not mean a specialist in Evolutionary Biology, it means a believer in the Neo-Darwinian synthesis of Evolution theory with associated theories in other fields than biological evolution (abiogenesis, gradual humanisation, man being no composite of spiritual and material, but simply material and everything "spiritual" either an illusion or an epiphenomenon of matter. So, it does come with a certain doctrinal opposition to Christianity. But some are also tempted by its position of power — which would be threatened if Christianity was more accepted than Evolutionism, on the societal level.

Similar observations can be made for those who do not exactly themselves suffer from unwanted pregnancies or gender dysphoria or same sex attraction, but who are instead catering to those categories, like service providers or mental health specialists or members of advocacy groups. They have a power position they would not like to lose.

Meilleurs voeux à Guillaume de Thieulloy et à l'abbé Pagès !

Voici le mail reçu:

Chers amis, Je quitte le tribunal et je vous annonce très rapidement une bonne nouvelle : nous venons d’obtenir une petite victoire. Pas une victoire décisive mais une première étape. Contre l’avis du procureur, le tribunal nous a accordé la possibilité de préparer notre défense plus longuement (de façon assez inhabituelle… et assez inique, l’audience avait été fixée très rapidement après l’instruction nous obligeant à une préparation expresse). Je vous en dirai plus aussi vite que possible. En attendant, une autre bonne nouvelle : j’ai appris cet après-midi, pendant l’audience, que nos amis du monde entier prolongeaient leur offre de doublement de tous nos dons (et de doublement des dons mensuels pendant une année complète) jusqu’à minuit. N’hésitez pas à en profiter dans les prochaines heures ! Fidèlement Guillaume de Thieulloy

I don't think it's paranoia to think, some like to spread an idea, I am mad

Yesterday, when I came to where I have my luggage, I was met with cold coffee and a denial when I went back to ask for replacing it with hot coffee.

When after food and coffee I went to the laundry, someone had placed a book "on the verge of madness" so I could pick it up.

In the laundry, someone had conspicuously placed Don Quijote.

Today, someone recycled an old canard which Swedes trying that kind of move were pushing a few years ago (though they seem to have ceased), namely, apparently I'm confusing Swedish with Danish (because I am using an older version of the Swedish spelling with some "orthographemes" coinciding with what Danish has kept).

Here is the discussion, for anyone who speaks German and ideally also Swedish:

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."

• AND it's science fiction.
