After watching The Young Pope I got curious of how such an old, expensive and important symbol of the papacy ended up in the United States.
Wikipedia says Pope Paul laid it at the altar of St Peter's Basilica in 1964 and later announced it would be sold and the money be given to charity. Francis Spellman (quite an interesting character it seems and archbishop of NYC) stepped in and arranged for it to be bought by the Catholic Church in the United States.
So how did the Catholic church in the US buy it? Wouldn't their accounting be under the umbrella of the Vatican? Or did some Catholic group buy it and donate it? Was the money raised donated to a specific charity? Did Spellman have some personal reason for all this? He certainly seemed like a very conservative Catholic. Was it an 'F You' to Pope Paul in some way? I know there was a lot of controversial stuff going on in the church at this time. How controversial was this in particular?
Happy First day of spring Reddit!!!
This is my first post in r/history, so please be nice! Wait if this is actually reddit, you will be mean and satirical, i'll take it.
Addition (edit):
Can we take note of the empire 214 years ago and have our dogmatic leaderships driven out of town and out of history? I think it is time. Vive la revolutionaries!
!Primo giorno di primavera!
Also, I am here to broadcast myself as a screen printer, graphic artist and such. Please view my old work and find me here on r/screenprinting and r/stencils!!
To quote a friend quoting a sage:

Love you all. Have a nice day!

As the title says, I was in a meeting. They cited this post at the beginning. I found it so funny because I remember reading it months ago and the minister was reading it word for word (sans profanity). The minister went on a tirade while citing another post about that person who was asking an INC member about if we're all about loving one another, even non-members then why don't we go to BLM protests and rallies. He kept saying that its because "we will never participate in violence and looting" *eye rolls*
I'm in North America which is all I'm gonna say, since apparently they're monitoring where these posters are from. I'm only posting this bc I remember reading posts here from people in the philppines talking about how their ministers cite posts from here. I just didn't think it would happen here. It's the first time I've been in a meeting where it was only called to lecture the youth to not betray the church administration.
PIn Matthew 16:19.
If you do not understand, let me elaborate. This has to do with the keys of the Kingdom. If you are familiar with the Old Testament, you then know that the keys is the vicarship, to have the authority to speak in the name of the King in His absence. You could see it in 2 Kings, that when the foreign ruler asks to see the king, it is not the king but Eliakim who goes out to meet him in the name of the king, whom received the keys to the house of David.
It's also in the papal coronation formula:
"Accipe tiaram tribus coronis ornatam, et scias te esse patrem principum et regum, rectorem orbis in terra vicarium Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi, cui est honor et gloria in saecula saeculorum."
translation:
Receive the tiara adorned with three crowns, and know that you are the father of princes and kings, the ruler of the world, the vicar of our Savior Jesus Christ on earth, to whom be all honor and glory, world without end.
I answer that Jesus Christ is not only King of Heaven, but of the whole Universe, and it is proper to Him that He rules all people, all nations without exception. Wherefore, the Pope is His Vicar on Earth, to speak for Him in His absence.
Consequently, to deny that the Pope has temporal power over the whole world, is to deny that Christ has as King of Kings, whom's Vicar the Pope is.
The Pope is above all human beings, and he may be judged by none, as Scripture and Unam Sanctam testifies. It is within the power of the Pope, for example to depose rulers, as so often happened already countless times, two notary examples of this being during the Ecumenical Council of Lyons, whereas the Pope deposed the Holy Roman Emperor as thus:
>"We therefore, after careful discussion with our brother cardinals and the sacred council on his wicked transgressions already mentioned and many more besides, since though unworthy we hold on earth the place of Jesus Christ, and to us in the person of the blessed apostle Peter has been said, whatever you bind on earth etc., denounce the said prince, who has made himself so unworthy of the empire and kingdoms and every honour and dignity and who also, because of his crimes, has been cast out by God from kingdom and empire; we mark him out as bound by his sins, an outcast and deprived by our Lord of every honour and dignity; and we deprive him of them by our sentence. We absolve from their oath for ever all those who are bound to him by an oath of loyalty, firmly forbidding by our apostol

I guess the concept didn't work
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
