*SPECIAL MONTHLY NOTE:


for Catholics the month of July is to commemorate "The Precious Blood of Jesus".  There are three categories for Catholic celebrations: solemnities (the highest form, e.g. Easter, Christmas, Pentecost, and Christ the King), feast days (2nd in line, e.g. Holy Angels, the Visitation, the Presentation, the Baptism of Our Lord) the Gloria is a requirement, but the Creed won't be said on these days; and memorials (the lowest form, are obligatory or optional e.g. The memorial of St. Thomas Aquinas Jan. 28 is an obligatory memorial) are a celebration of the lives of saints.  More on the subject...Solemnity, Feast, or Memorial? How to Tell the Difference - Epic Pew

The remaining memorials in November are: ALL SAINTS DAY, Nov. 1; ALL SOULS DAY, Nov. 2; St. Charles Borromeo, Nov. 4;  St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, Nov 13; St. Albert the Great, Nov. 15; St. Gertrude, Nov. 16; St. John of the Cross, Nov. 24; St. Andrew, Nov. 30

-the section known as the "THREE-LEGGED STOOL"  and other miscellaneous topics:  

...what is the "three-legged stool" and what does it mean?  

(sourced from www.patheos.com)...  The Catholic Church’s “three-legged stool” is a metaphorical representation of the three sources of authority that the Church relies on to guide its teachings and practices. These three sources are:

  1. Scripture: The Bible is considered the inspired word of God and is the primary source of authority for the Catholic Church. It is believed to contain all the essential truths necessary for salvation.

  2. Tradition: The Catholic Church also places great importance on tradition, which includes the teachings, practices, and beliefs that have been passed down through the centuries from the apostles and early Church fathers. This includes things like the sacraments, liturgy, and other practices that are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible.

  3. Magisterium: The Magisterium refers to the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, which is vested in the Pope and bishops. They are responsible for interpreting Scripture and Tradition and ensuring that the teachings of the Church remain faithful to these sources of authority.

This metaphorical stool is often used to illustrate how these three sources of authority work together to support the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church 1.
