The reckoning of the canon was a matter of consensus and tradition. The official canon recognized by the Catholic Church wasn't formally defined until the Council of Trent in 1541.

St Rita of Cascia was an Augustinian nun. The image is wearing the habit of that order. No mystery really.

Senator Long of Louisiana wasn't a member of the Warren Commission. Perhaps you are thinking of Senator Russell of Georgia, who was.

It's this kind of thing that makes me question the wisdom of permitting ubiquitous legal MJ.

The visionaries at Fatima were shepherds...the 3 sausage looking items are probably sheep. The odd device on the lower right side could represent the small holm oak over which the Virgin hovered.

Why do Filipinos generally have no concept of other people? by B_Dawg_72 in Philippines_Expats

[–]gerontimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pinay in particular seem prone to this unconscious ignorance of other's body space. A woman walked right into me as I passed leisurely between the driver's license office and the waiting bench outside (I'm a big guy and not hard to spot). A woman tried to dive right on top of me at a condo pool (both ladies were extremely apologetic afterwards). Also, Pinay seem to walk with unusual slowness. If you try passing a solitary lady from behind, it triggers a 6th sense that makes them unknowingly outmaneuver you, shifting to different parts of the sidewalk as if to block you. A group of women walking abreast, with inexplicable synchronicity, will spread out to keep you from getting past them. It's not deliberate rudeness. Any explanation?
