April 27[edit]

Tucker Carlson[edit]

One of the accusations against Tucker Carlson, just fired anchor from the fox News was that he used c-word. What is the c-word?

See "C" word. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.213.18.208 (talk) 01:34, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Over at Fox, conscientious, compassionate and competent are all c-words. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [reply]

In case you haven't noticed, Clarityfiend is also a C-word. 136.56.52.157 (talk) 12:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A Catholic Priest (And Biblical Scholar) In Rome (Or Somewhere In Italy) Who Was Active During The 1950's[edit]

Somewhere in the English-language Wikipedia I noticed a biographical article about a Roman Catholic priest in Rome (or somewhere in Italy) who was active during the 1950's. The article mentioned that part of his academic work was writing a large commentary (about 10,000 manuscript pages) on the Bible. His major topic in systematic theology (or dogmatics) was theology of sacrifice. Unfortunately, in his Biblical commentary work, he did not make clear distinctions between INTERPRETATIONS of Scripture (which are supposed to be consistent with official Catholic interpretations) and his own ideas about the APPLICATIONS OR IMPLICATIONS of Scripture (where there is more freedom for personal ideas). Therefore, the Catholic authorities in Rome did not approve of his commentary work and prevented him from publishing his commentary work (or maybe he did publish and then the authorities placed his writings on the Index Of Prohibited Books). If possible, I would like to find this article again because it exemplifies the importance of this distinction (interpretations versus applications or implications). Any ideas from anyone? Thank you.

There have been several controversies connected with the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The Index was abolished in 1966... AnonMoos (talk) 08:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Theology and philosophy aren't my strong points, so a lot of your clues don't mean a whole lot to me, but Yves Congar's True and False Reform in the Church was banned by the Catholic Church in 1952, according to his article. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might try looking through Category:20th-century Italian Roman Catholic theologians - there's only 26 of them. Alansplodge (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of that list the most "problematic" ones are probably Raimondo Spiazzi and Giovanni Franzoni. --82.52.31.81 (talk) 17:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have not found the exact answer but I certainly appreciate the thoughtful replies that several people have posted concerning this question! I suppose that I could try contacting the Catholic Biblical Association or the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, but the question isn't really worth pursuing to that extent or degree.

Fair use or copyright broke?[edit]

In the last seconds of videos of this channel, there is iOS ringtone. It is fair use or copyright broke?

Well, it seems to be the same as the iOS "Classic" Bell Tower. Fair use is not a concept everywhere in the world (although most countries have some way to allow some use of copyrighted material in some way). The question is a) if this ring tone is sufficiently original to enjoy copyright protection and b) if so, if that use is covered by some exception. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:06, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
