Influenza, often referred to as the flu, is a common, contagious respiratory illness. There are four types of influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. While influenza A, B and C viruses can infect humans, influenza D is believed to primarily affect animals such as cattle and pigs. Influenza C is rare in comparison to influenza A and B, which are the main sources of the “seasonal flu,” or the viruses that circulate in Canada and other countries each winter. Influenza A is also the source of flu pandemics. Canada has experienced five influenza pandemics since the late 19th century, in 1890, 1918, 1957, 1968 and 2009. In Canada, influenza causes an estimated 12,200 hospitalizations and 3,500 deaths each year.

Federico Armando Beltrán Masses (1885-1949) was born in Guaira de la Melena, Cuba. He studied with the painter Sorolla at l’École des Beaux-Arts de Barcelone and, in 1905, he studied Spanish and European art at the Prado, Madrid. In 1916, he received recognition from the Paris's Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and continued to live in Paris for many years. Reportedly,
A British nun who was dragged before the Inquisition for trying to promote women's rights 300 years before the Suffragettes is to be put on the road to sainthood by the Pope. Mary Ward was born into a devout Catholic family in Ripon, Yorkshire, in 1585 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I when Catholics were being persecuted. She became a nun at 15, and a decade later founded her own order, the Institute of Mary. She went on to open convents across Europe. But from an early age she was a vocal proponent of women's rights, particularly a right to education, which led to conflict with the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. While in Germany in 1631 she was dragged before the Inquisition, the feared Church body charged with rooting out heretics. Charged with heresy, schism and rebellion, she was jailed for three months and when freed was forced to comply with the Pope's order to shut down her order of nuns. She died of natural causes in 1645 in York. Now Pope Benedict XVI is to declare her 'Venerable', the first of the three steps to sainthood. Supporters of her cause will then have to find evidence of a miracle through her intercession for her to be named 'Blessed', and a further miracle for her to achieve sainthood. ‘It is absolutely wonderful,’ said Sister Gemma Simmonds, a lecturer in theology at Heythrop College, the University of London and a member of Mary Ward's order of nuns, which was re-instated 100 years after her death under a new name, the Congregation of Jesus. ‘Mary Ward was a very important pioneer in the history of the role of women in the Church. ‘I want justice for her. She was severely persecuted by the Church that she tried to serve so faithfully. ‘At a time when we are still trying to work out in concrete detail the role of women in the Church this would be a very welcome move.’ She said Ward also deserved particular recognition for setting up girls’ schools at a time when women everywhere were treated as second class citizens. The move by the Pope, who was educated as a boy by sisters of Mary Ward’s order, comes after the cardinals of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints last week unanimously concluded that the nun lived a blameless life. Today her order has about 4,000 sisters around the world. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Disclaimer No responsibility or liability shall attach itself to us or to the blogspot ‘Clerical Whispers’ for any or all of the articles placed here.

Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, expressed the philosophy that drove 19th-century U.S. territorial expansion. It contended that the United States was destined by God to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent.
