Victoria Ratliff in The White Lotus: "Actresses are all basically prostitutes. If they're lucky".
All actors are whores.
They want only one thing: to seduce you.

The Council of Florence in 1438 explains: "The Holy Spirit is eternally from Father and Son; He has his nature and subsistence at once (simul) from the Father and the Son. He proceeds eternally from both as from one principle and through one spiration...
The Catechism is part of the Church's official teaching in the sense that it was suggested by a Synod of Bishops, requested by the Holy Father, prepared and revised by bishops and promulgated by the Holy Father as part of his ordinary Magisterium. Pope John Paul II ordered the publication of the Catechism by the Apostolic Constitution, Fidei Depositum, on October 11, 1992. An apostolic constitution is a most solemn form by which popes promulgate official Church documents. The new Code of Canon Law, for example, was promulgated by the Apostolic Constitution, Sacrae Disciplinae Leges. In Fidei Depositum, Pope John Paul II said, "The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved June 25th last and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition, and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion." John Paul II also stated that the Catechism "is given as a sure and authentic reference text for teaching Catholic doctrine."
Because the pope was infallible , it was asserted, therefore his decrees were irreformable. More important for us, this is also precisely the doctrine of the early fourteenth-century Franciscans that Ockham chose to defend. The Franciscans accused Pope John XXII of heresy because he had contradicted a decree of his predecessor, Nicholas III, about apostolic poverty It could have sufficed for them to argue only that this one particular decree of Nicholas was irrevocable because it happened to express a truth of Scripture. But in fact the first Franciscan denunciation of John XXII expounded a much broader doctrine in 1324. What the Roman pontiffs have once defined in faith and morals through the key ofknowledge is immutable because the Roman church is unerring.1 The immutability was based on the inerrancy; and it was assumed that decrees of earlier pontiffs on faith and morals did express the unerring belief of the Roman church. This Franciscan theory of papal infallibility—what else can one call it?—was at first put forward only by an anonymous, still unidentified friar. So it would not be of much importance except that, when the Minister-General Michael of Cesena broke with the pope in 1329, he accepted this doctrine and used it in his attacks on pope John.
