Nettled by several errors in Heavner’s analysis, and even more by her willingness to share the gory details at a press conference, Tempe launches her own investigation, which is not so much off the books as against the books. Showboat Medical Examiner Margot Heavner makes it clear that, breaking with her department’s earlier practice ( The Bone Collection, 2016, etc.), she has no intention of calling in Tempe as a consultant and promptly identifies the faceless body herself as that of a young Asian man.

Since then, I think most, not all, diocesan bishops have worked with local SSPX priests in this regard and simply given the SSPX priests the faculty. The priests can now have the faculty themselves and they can work with a local diocesan priest. There had been considerable debate about the validity of SSPX witnessed marriages. As in the case of hearing confessions, marriages require that a priest have the appropriate faculty. On 27 March 2017 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (which had absorbed my old office, the PCED) informed all the bishops of the world that they could give faculties to SSPX priests to witness marriages. You can go to confession to them not just because there are no other priests around. So, SSPX priests can validly absolve sins even when there is no danger of death. Popes can do that sort of thing, whereas other entities such as dicasteries of the Holy See (e.g., the Pontifical Commission “ Ecclesia Dei” (PCED) of old and now CDF, and diocesan bishops) have to use another procedure. In this case, Francis said that people can be absolved by SSPX priests and that, as they say, is that. It’s better when they do things in a way that make things clear, with all the i’s dotted. However, Popes can do what they want in this regard. In this case there is no document that I’m aware of that explicitly grants faculties to the priests of the SSPX to hear confessions and to absolve. Those faculties are demonstrable with a document saying that Fr. This is a little odd, because it was not really a formal grant of faculties in the usual and expected way to the priests of the SSPX, as when a bishop grants faculties to a priest to receive sacramental confessions. That provision was extended beyond the “Year of Mercy” in the 2016 Apostolic Letter Misericordia et misera. On 8 December 2015, Francis told the Catholic faithful that for the Holy Year of Mercy they could go to priests of the SSPX for the Sacrament of Penance and that they could be validly absolved. No question.Ĭould it have higher status? Sure. The SSPX is an association of the faithful. 298 §1, which are, for example, when clerics or laity want to strive with common effort to foster a more perfect life, promote public worship, etc. 299 §1 says that by private agreement among themselves, the faithful have the right to constitute associations for the purposes mentioned in can. Hopefully one day they will be set up and recognized formally as a, say, Personal Prelature or some variant. Their “association of the faithful” does not now have canonical recognition. The SSPX does not have formal canonical status other than they are exercising a canonical right to associate with each other. The SSPX (technically Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Santi Pii X) is a priestly Fraternity or Society of priests. Sheesh.) I would be, will be I hope, honored to have them working alongside me in this diocese or wherever God takes me. (Not that we think clergy should be well educated. Better formed in history, philosophy, liturgy and theology than a great many of garden variety priests I know. They are mostly terrific guys, dedicated, zealous for souls, hard workers and determined priests. I preface this with my observation, from personal experience, of some of the priests of the SSPX. From the onset, however, I warmly urge people who don’t know what they are talking about not to leap in with unhelpful notions about law, theology, etc., and stick to discussing something more fruitful, such as the evils of the designated hitter or of changing the rules about intentional walks. I’ll dig into some issues about the SSPX in a moment. Imagine such a thing! Third, because of the whole COVID lockdown thing, many emails have come in asking a) if it is sinful to go to Masses at still open chapels of the SSPX and b) is it sinful – I am not making this up – to watch their live-streamed services on the internet. Also, because someone wrote to complain that in some of my daily 5 minute podcasts I read paragraphs from a spiritual book by a priest of the SSPX, Fr. Let’s aim for some clarity and charity about the SSPX.įirstly, because of the aforementioned online and thoroughly unedifying dust up. Thus, we are again presented with a concrete demonstration that in many of these dust ups a heck of a lot of people don’t know what they don’t know. Various sections of the addled peanut gallery got involved in the online feud. I looked around and found all manner of strange, useless and confusion-riddled comments about the status of the SSPX, their objectives and holiness, and blah blah. I was informed that some prominent internet wonks were/are having a spat about the SSPX. credit card issuer are is to look at the total lines of credit they provide to their cardholders. Which Credit Card Issuers Offer The Largest Lines of Creditįinally, another good way to determine who the largest U.S. Their aggressive lending tactics could be one reason for their rate of growth. One possible explanation for this is that smaller banks are more willing to issue new credit cards to subprime borrowers in order to grow their pool of users. While Citi and Chase grew their total active accounts by 3% in the last 5 years, the small issuers managed to take on 66% more accounts in that same time. Bank, Barclays, and Wells Fargo - have all been gaining market share at a much faster rate than the top banks on the list. The smaller credit card issuers on the list - U.S. card issuers, though at the same time they may take on less debt-month-to month, or pay off their cards more frequently. The user base of American Express may be larger than some other U.S. This highlights a notable flaw of measuring credit card issuer size by outstanding loans alone. While the company places at #7 in terms of outstanding debt (as seen in the graph above), it performs significantly better when measured by both active accounts and total lines of credit issued. American Express was the most notable outlier in the data. We found that the number of active users correlates strongly to the total outstanding credit card debt held with each of these banks. *Includes American Express Co, American Express Centurion Bank, and American Express Bank, FSB Synchrony Bank (Formerly GE Capital Retail Bank) Bank - hold roughly 89% of total revolving credit card debt in the United States. Together, the largest 10 credit card issuers - Citi, Chase, Capital One, Bank of America, Discover, Synchrony Financial, American Express, Wells Fargo, Barclays, and U.S. The size of an issuer's card loan portfolio is one of the best measures for determining market share since it’s a function of both how many credit cards are issued and how much those are used. Who Are The Biggest Credit Card Issuers in the United States?Ĭitibank holds the largest share of America's credit card debt. When looking at both debit and credit card transactions, Visa still holds the #1 spot, while Mastercard trumps American Express. They processed $1.6T and $0.7T respectively. Visa and American Express processed the largest amount of U.S.At the same time, Citibank and Chase increased their number of active accounts by just 3%. On average, these companies acquired 66% more active user accounts in the last 5 years, through aggressive underwriting and new co-brand partnerships. Bank, and Barclays have grown their number of active user accounts at a significantly faster rate than the top three banks. Among the top 10 banks, Wells Fargo, U.S.Combined, these three companies account for close to 40% of the nation's outstanding credit card debt. The next two largest credit card issuers are JPMorgan Chase and Capital One, respectively.

Theres a Tony Award winning show in town right now at the Fabulous Fox It actually won the tony for best. Speaking of battle, the combat system promises to provide a delicious level of complexity. In typical Square Enix fashion, the orchestrated music is lush and sweeping in emotional moments, and high octane thrilling in the heat of battle. The soundtrack is perhaps my favorite part of the presentation. Dialogue is communicated simultaneously through text boxes and lively voice acting, and though this method suffices, the player must stop the dialogue to see the speaking character’s 2D model - I wish it could be visible alongside the text box instead. The plot shocked me multiple times, as over the course of the roughly two-hour demo, one of your comrades is killed and a king is publicly beheaded.įrom the gorgeously hand-drawn 2D character models bursting with personality to the 3D castles and towns, Project Triangle Strategy is visually alluring. The player assumes control of Serenoa and his group of warriors as they attempt to flee the castle grounds with Roland, the prince of the kingdom at siege.įrom the onset, stakes feel incredibly high, and that strong momentum is carried all the way to the conclusion. Project Triangle Strategy tells the tale of three kingdoms at war over precious resources, and the demo commences with the invasion of one of these territories. However, I found myself quickly invested as the demo threw me directly into the meat of the adventure. Instead the devs wants us to focus on combat. Project Triangle Strategy’s demo picks up midway through the campaign and notes that the player might not fully understand story events. Despite its awkward working title, it looks to be a fantastic tactical RPG providing a compelling story, deep combat system, and fascinating character persuasion mechanics. Project Triangle Strategy releases in 2022, but a free demo was made available immediately after the Direct. Nintendo spent a large chunk of time in the Direct discussing the story and the complexities of the combat system, and I was intrigued by what I saw. But, it soon became apparent this was an entirely new IP, as combat was shown to be top-down strategy instead. When the game’s trailer began, I thought it was a sequel to Octopath Traveler, seeing as it used the same beautiful combination of 2D character models and 3D environments. The most recent Nintendo Direct contained many exciting announcements, but few caught my attention as much as Square Enix’s surprise reveal of Project Triangle Strategy. New language features (with new syntax) started flying in. I told my coworkers, “You can come back now, it handles Swift just fine.” But they didn’t come back. It became possible to use for real projects again. Even as they did, Apple kept issuing changes to improve the syntax with special transformation rules, which AppCode had to add (after the fact).īut over several releases, AppCode improved in both performance and reliability. So this was another problem that JetBrains had to solve. From a coder’s perspective, trusted Objective-C features became worse. AppCode features suffered when they crossed this language boundary, because a good IDE answers these basic questions:Īcross the language boundary, the answers were sometimes incomplete - and thus wrong. We also needed cross-language support: Swift calling Objective-C, and Objective-C calling Swift. AppCode’s usability suffered, and my coworkers who had been using AppCode… well, they stopped.Īnd this wasn’t just support for a single language. So they had to catch up, adding basic Swift support. JetBrains, the makers of AppCode, was suddenly left with an IDE that didn’t work for modern Apple development. This new programming language was type-strict, with a lot more syntax. That’s because compared to Xcode, its support for automated refactoring was overpowering. Though AppCode users were a small minority, some of my coworkers used it at least occasionally. You can still build old Objective-C projects today, with no changes. A big shift to Objective-C 2.0 happened in 2007. Remember, Objective-C dates back to the early 1980s. Remember pre-Swift days? Objective-C was the tool for working with almost everything in the Apple ecosystem. But I think SwiftUI struck the final blow. They will provide bare-bones updates for compatibility and security through the end of 2023. And with the addition of Inline refactorings, my Swift coding accelerated even more.īut as JetBrains announced their latest release of AppCode, they dropped a bomb: this is also their final release. There are very few tasks (such as changing project settings) for which I prefer Xcode. If you’ve seen any of my live coding, you know that AppCode is my preferred IDE for Swift.

Loverro says the National Space Defense Center’s data sharing is important, but that its mission will not address the needs that would be met by the House proposal, including creating a dedicated space career path for military personnel.Īs for the bureaucracy criticism, he notes that Army leaders voiced similar fears “to fight against the Army Air Corps,” which was formed within the Army in 1926 and later became the Army Air Forces and then in 1947 the U.S. Shanahan said in a report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on March 1 that he is finalizing the contract for the independent study. This expansion followed the passage in December of the Defense Authorization Act of 2018, which ordered the review of military space management to be completed by August. Jay Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command, said making the center full-time marks “a significant milestone” that “expands our space situational awareness and bolsters our readiness.” That name was similar to the Air Force’s Joint Space Operations Center, pronounced JAY-SPOC, a watch floor at Vandenberg Air Force, Base, Calif. The center was given a simplified name in 2017 after its establishment in 2015 as the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center. The center was transitioned in January from a test program for interagency data sharing to a full-time center where the military and intelligence community will share data intended to project U.S. Loverro, who backs the creation of a Space Corps, says he expects critics of the concept to also point to the National Space Defense Center at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. He believes Pentagon critics of the Space Corps proposal are “purposefully conflating” the proposal with creation of a separate armed services branch, a far more costly option, “in order to negate the concept” of a Space Corps within the Air Force. deputy assistant secretary of defense for space policy, thinks there is. Is there an agenda driving these twists and turns?ĭoug Loverro, a former U.S. He was reacting to the House Strategic Forces subcommittee, which drafted language that would have ordered the Pentagon to “create a Space Corps within the Air Force.” Lawmakers removed that authorization language after Mattis’ objection and replaced it with the review that’s about to get underway. “We have the Air Force we’ll have the Space Force,” Trump said during a speech at a Marine Corps Base in California, couching his force idea as a “maybe.”Īs matters stand, it’s far from clear whether either a Space Corps or Space Force will come to pass, based on the public record and my interviews with experts.ĭefense Secretary James Mattis told congressional leaders in a letter last October that he opposes “the creation of a new military service and organizational layers at a time when we are focused on reducing overhead and integrating joint warfighting functions.” President Donald Trump referred to this congressionally-ordered review when he aired the idea of an even bolder step than a space corps: creation of an entire service branch that would be focused on space. Shanahan advised Congress a few weeks ago. The Pentagon is finalizing a contract with an as yet unidentified think tank to review matters of military space, including the possibility of establishing a Space Corps within the Air Force with the aim of boosting military space expertise, Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick M.
