What are the results of the pilgrimage of grace?
This is from Wikipedia:
The rebellion failed and King Henry arrested Bigod, Aske and several other rebels, such as Darcy; John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford, the Chief Butler of England; Sir Thomas Percy; and Sir Robert Constable. All were convicted of treason and executed. During 1537 Bigod was hanged at Tyburn; Lords Darcy and Hussey both beheaded; Thomas Moigne, M.P. for Lincoln was hanged, drawn and quartered; Sir Robert Constable hanged in chains at Hull; and Robert Aske hanged in chains at York. In total 216 were executed: several lords and knights (including Sir Thomas Percy, Sir Stephen Hamerton, Sir William Lumley, Sir John Constable and Sir William Constable), 6 abbots (Adam Sedbar, Abbot of Jervaulx, William Trafford, Abbot of Sawley, Matthew Mackarel, Abbot of Barlings and Bishop of Chalcedon, William Thirsk, Abbot of Fountains and the Prior of Bridlington), 38 monks, and 16 parish priests. Sir Nicholas Tempest, Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland, was hanged at Tyburn, Sir John Bulmer hanged, drawn and quartered and his wife Margaret Stafford burnt at the stake.
In late 1538, Sir Edward Neville, Keeper of the Sewer was beheaded. The loss of the leaders enabled the Duke of Norfolk to quell the rising,[6] and martial law was imposed upon the demonstrating regions. Norfolk executed some 216 activists (such as Lord Darcy, who tried to implicate Norfolk as a sympathizer): churchmen, monks, commoners.[

How do you sponsor student activities?
To sponsor student activities, I typically collaborate with student organizations to identify their needs and goals. I then allocate a budget to support events, providing funding for resources such as materials, venues, and promotional efforts. Additionally, I may seek partnerships with local businesses or alumni for further sponsorships and support. Finally, I ensure clear communication and feedback channels to evaluate the impact of the sponsorship and make improvements for future activities.
What effort you are willing to put to receive the confirmation?
To receive confirmation, I am willing to actively follow up through clear and polite communication, ensuring that my requests are concise and respectful. Additionally, I will maintain a proactive approach by setting reminders to check in periodically and providing any necessary information promptly. Ultimately, I am committed to fostering a collaborative dialogue to facilitate a timely response.
In my last post I discussed the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy and its ability to cause us to see a small portion of data as confirmation of something that it isn’t. In large sets of data there are always small anomalies that can lead to unfounded conclusions if they’re not examined objectively. A similar effect that also causes us to view things in a subjective way is confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is the propensity to favor information that validates our preconceived notions and beliefs. There are three main types of confirmation bias. They are biases in our search for information, interpretation of new information, and memory. First, let’s discuss the bias in our search for information. Have you ever seen an opinion poll that had leading, and clearly biased questions? Many internet polls are famous for this sort of thing. They’ll ask a question in such a way as to make the answer for which they’re looking to be a more likely response. Or they’ll go to news sources that are biased in the same way they are. Have you ever met a staunch conservative who would only trust news from Fox News or a liberal who only listened to news from MSNBC or the Huffington Post? This is an example of how bias works in our search for information. If you believe that markets are heading up, you’ll most likely seek out bullish news sources. The internet makes this kind of search extremely easy and can ensure we’re all continually insulated against any news or information that goes against our ideas or beliefs. Confirmation bias can also affect how we interpret new information. When we receive new information about a topic about which we already have a preconceived idea or belief, we tend to interpret that new information in a way that that confirms our existing bias. Studies have shown that we’re far more likely to believe evidence for our closely-held beliefs and completely ignore, excuse away, or set a higher standard for evidence that contradicts those beliefs. Lastly, confirmation bias can affect the way we remember things. Even though we tend to seek out information that confirms our biases, and interpret ambiguous information in a way that confirms our bias, sometimes we still see and hear contradictory information. But the brain also tricks us by filtering that out after the fact. Psychological studies suggest that given the strong forces at play in these three realms, confirmation bias can strongly affect the way we live our lives and make decisions. So whether you believe that the markets are headed up or down, make sure to filter out the effect of confirmation bias; at least as much as possible.
What is the day of the innocent?
The Day of the Innocent, also known as "Día de los Santos Inocentes," is celebrated on December 28 in many Spanish-speaking countries. It commemorates the biblical story of King Herod's decree to kill all male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to eliminate the newborn Jesus. The day is often marked by playful pranks and jokes, similar to April Fools' Day in other cultures, where people play tricks on friends and family. It serves as a reminder of the innocence of children and the tragic events surrounding their loss.

Can a child that is baptised Greek Orthodox receive communion and confirmation in a catholic church?
Answer # 1
No. The Roman Catholic Church practices closed communion, and doesn't have any shared sacraments arrangements with other churches. For example, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Virginia Beach, Virginia has a common seating area for its Anglican and Roman Catholic congregations. But there are two separate altars, and therefore two different receiving lines depending upon one's denomination.
Answer # 2
Yes.
There are currently two canon laws which provide for this:
Catholic ministers may licitly administer the sacraments of penance, Eucharist and anointing of the sick to members of the oriental churches (e.g. Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, etc.) which do not have full communion with the Catholic Church, if they ask on their own for the sacraments and are properly disposed. This holds also for members of other churches, which in the judgment of the Apostolic See are in the same condition as the oriental churches as far as the sacraments are concerned. (CIC Canon 844, § 3, cited in The Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church)
Similarly,
If the danger of death is present or other grave necessity, in the judgment of the diocesan bishop or the conference of bishops, Catholic ministers may licitly administer these sacraments to other Christians who do not have full communion with the Catholic Church, who cannot approach a minister of their own community and on their own ask for it, provided they manifest Catholic faith in these sacraments and are properly disposed. (CIC Canon 844, § 4, cited in the Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church)
These two canon laws make more explicit the suitable circumstances which the Vatican II document Unitatis Redintegratio speaks of concerning the Orthodox churches:
These churches, although separated from us, yet possess true sacraments, above all - by apostolic succession - the priesthood and the Eucharist, whereby they are still joined to us in closest intimacy. Therefore some worship in common (communicatio in sacris), given suitable circumstances and the approval of church authority, is not merely possible but is encouraged. (Flannery 1996, p. 515)

I do not feel close to the child that has chosen me for her confirmation sponsor. What should I do?
I assume the student had no one close enough to ask, so consider it an honor you were chosen, take the candidate out to dinner, talk briefly about faith, be nice, and move on. There is no need for folow up, just your willingness to be sponsor. . a gift iof an age appropriate religious book or article would be nice.
