Really, it is just going to be a smattering of random questions (well, question…singular…for today) you probably never had about Holy Days of Obligation. We are going to start with the one question that has always made me “itchy:” the Good Friday issue! Why isn’t Read More

Saturday, July 11, 2020 – Today is going to be super easy, promise! Now that we have gotten the nutty flavor of history out of the way, I am going to focus on just the Holy Days of Obligation observed in the United States. To make it super easy, I am just going to post Read More
Day 116 – Mrs. Flusche’s Basic Primer on Holy Days (Part III)
Friday, July 10, 2020 – The last couple of days we have talked about Holy Days of Obligation. We covered the list and a basic primer on Canon Law. Today, let’s take a walk back in time and talk about how many there have been over time. Current Canon Law says Sundays + 10 Holy Read More
Day 115 – Mrs. Flusche’s Basic Primer on Holy Days (Part II)
Thursday, July 9, 2020 – Okie dokie, so yesterday we started talking about Holy Days of Obligation, and it got a little nutty right out of the gate because the USCCB list doesn’t quite line up with the Canon Law list. I mean, it does, but what gives with the “missing dates” for us!? So Read More
Day 114 – Mrs. Flusche’s Basic Primer on Holy Days (Part I)
Wednesday, July 8, 2020 – By special request, I am going to do a short series on the Holy Days of Obligation. I am still trying to think of the best way to divide up the information, but I will start with a very brief overview of what “Holy Day” means and a comprehensive list Read More
Day 111 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XIV)
Sunday, July 5, 2020 – I swear this is going to be the last primer on Church architecture (for now…muahaha!).

In Read More

Saturday, July 4, 2020 – Yesterday we installed the massive front door for our Church on the West side (because, remember, that is where we keep our Church entrance!).

Day 109 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XII)
Friday, July 3, 2020 – Today we are going to put on the front door to our Gothic minor Basilica. A lot of the terms for today are ones you have already seen because, let’s face it, Gothic architecture is nothing but lots of pointed arches. There will be a few terms I won’t define Read More
Day 108 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part XI)
Thursday, July 2, 2020 – Okay, back to Church Architecture, specifically the fancy-fancy of Gothic architecture. Today we are going to cover…wait for iiiiiittttt…WINDOWS! Yup, we are going to go over three of the most Gothic-y windows that a Gothic Church can have: the rose window, the oculus window, and the lancet window. And, for Read More
Day 106 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part X)
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 – Today we are going to get extremely technical and discuss the Gothic arch. Not to brag, but Gothic architecture has some pretty sweet physics at play in their doorways and ceilings. Sure, arches and vaulted ceilings have been around for ages, but now we have points! Sharp angels! Sweeping heights! Read More
