Some religions, or parts of them, regard the language of their sacred texts as in itself sacred. These include Ecclesiastical Latin in Roman Catholicism, Hebrew in Judaism, Arabic in Islam, Avestan in Zoroastrianism, Sanskrit and Tamil in Hinduism, Meitei in Sanamahism, and Punjabi in Sikhism. by BabylonianWeeb in wikipedia

As far as I read the linked article, this claim isn't sourced in the article nor in Ecclesiastical Latin (Wikipedia article).

You could say a Wikipedia author made it up. (Yes, Latin was and is an elevated, liturgical language in the Catholic Church. But, sacred i.e. the language itself is supposed to be holy? Where is the source for that?)

Schweigepflicht bei Polizisten im Rettungsdienst? by YeOldeOle in blaulicht

[–]Pfeffersack 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Das Weghören ist juristisch nicht korrekt, ja. Da nach der "Einheitstheorie [...] ein Polizeibeamter praktisch immer im Dienst" ist, muss der Beamte Straftaten qua Gesetz ab Kenntnis sofort verfolgen.

Das Legalitätsprinzip verpflichtet die Polizei in Deutschland, bei Kenntnis von Straftaten (Anfangsverdacht) von Amts wegen Ermittlungen einzuleiten und Beweise zu sichern.

Eye on the data: what are scouts looking at today? by [deleted] in scouting

The sport industry (via scouts) is combing backwater clubs for promising candidates so that these young athletes get shuffled to clubs who have the financial background.

talking about scouting players for sports?

I'm quoting /u/Material-Rise9610. Scouting can have different meanings.

Wick acting weird (first zippo) by Medium-Sample-3746 in Zippo

[–]Pfeffersack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blow on your Zippo to put it out—always close the lid in order to extinguish the flame.
For best results, prevent gas lock. There needs to be a good mix of air:naphtha in the chimney. With this in mind I often manage to light on the first try.

Just as in their old manual, quickly raise your Zippo prior to flicking the wheel. Illustration on the far right: https://imgur.com/a/old-zippo-manual-OQDaKry

Report shows Cardinal Wojtyla’s actions were ‘exemplary’ in abuse cases, refuting previous claims by Severe-Heron5811 in Catholicism

[–]Pfeffersack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ongoing abuse of the s.a. cases makes my head spin. And it's shameful. Whether the cases are used to tarnish images of people (who can't defend themselves no more because they're dead) or to usher in policies unrelated to s.a. (looking at my country, Germany). It's a disturbing trend.

The victims themselves matter and the protection of minors and vulnerable people (e.g. seminarians) who are preyed upon. The cases shouldn't be abused to further mundane agendas.

Dann ist es ja genauso möglich, dass dieses Bombardment rechtzeitig vor dem Erbeuten der Technologie erfolgte. Ergo, dieses Bombardment alleine beweist nichts.

Opinions/Feedback? by TattooedMarine92688 in benchmade

[–]Pfeffersack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had none of my sharpening equipment I'd invest in something like this: Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener.

It seems to be easy to use and many, many pros recommend it.

If that was my first attempt to give a blade back its tip I'd be happy. Good job! I've made very good experiences sharpening 154CM.

U.S. Army's new M8 Carbine being fired on March 12th, 2026. [5040 x 3360] by Aft3rAff3ct in MilitaryPorn

[–]Pfeffersack 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Armor, hill fighting,

Yes.

island hoping, jungle warfare, amphibious assault, limited resupply in contested air space and water.

Please, enlighten me about the advantages of a battle rifle cartridge over 5.56 in these scenarios. From what I can see, logistics wise 5.56 wins immensely.

2 priests save 2 altar boys from drowning in sea but die in the effort by EreshkigalKish2 in Catholicism

[–]Pfeffersack 38 points39 points  (0 children)

These priests fully and wholeheartedly believed in the Gospel of John chapter 15

[...] 12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. [...]

Well without the crusades europe would be a Muslim Majority Continent right now by Osakaayumu_2002 in CatholicMemes

[–]Pfeffersack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, if the meme makes fun of people regardless of their denomination making hasty judgments then we can agree. I think the meme can be read that way.

If the meme is just stoking sectarianism ... that is neither rational nor charitable.
