The Pope is said to speak infallibly when making a solemn declaration on Faith or Morals "ex cathedra", that is, from his episcopal throne. Thus, someone speaking "ex cathedra" is acting as if she were infallible, or, more broadly, pontificating.....
We all know that, Neocon. But what did you mean when you said: "I wonder what her "Cathedra" looks like........"????
You were not talking about the pope or about "ex cathedra". You were talking about the APPEARANCE of something. You said: "I wonder what her "Cathedra" looks like........". You must have meant something very specific by asking what somebody's cathedra looked like.
Now, "cathedra" means chair or "seat". And one of the meaning of "seats" is "BUTTOCKS". Your sentence and your words were all given the full weight of your intelligence: "I wonder what her "cathedra" looks like", you said. And you put quotation marks around the single word "cathedra". , LOL!! Maybe you were talking about what a Bishop's seat looks like because you knew that E was a Bishop, and that you felt the comment was witty and snotty!!
I guess you had a reason for creating the post: "I wonder what her "Cathedra" looks like........"! It might be simply that you were unaware of the difference between the noun "cathedra" and the phrase "ex cathedra"--or what "looks like" means. Did it massage your ego when you thoughtfully chose those words to convey your little feelings, Sport?! |
