sauces méres
the standard list is from Auguste Escoffier, La guide culinaire (1907)
(1) Béchamel (white)
(2) Espagnole (brown)
(3) Tomato (red)
(4) Velouté (clear)
(5) Hollandaise
[(5) is only in the English-language edition; but in the French editions mayonnaise is described as a mother sauce for cold sauces]
-- Carême ni L'art de la cuisine française au XIXe siècle (1833), gives as 'grandes sauces': Espagnole,, Allemande, Velouté, Béchamel. He identifies tomato, Hollandaise, mayonnaise, Poivrade, and Suprême as 'petite sauces'. (But keep in mind name shifts -- Allemande and Béchamel in Carême's terminology are adaptations of Velouté, and use different recipes than would be used today.)

We tend to trust people more if they agree with us a lot, even on irrelevant issues.
(1) We know (from infant baptism) that vicarious intention suffices for infants in Baptism of water.
(2) We know from the Holy Innocents that infants can have baptism of blood, and thus can receive the effect of baptism without the sign of water.
(3) We know that parents, godparents, etc., can have vicarious intention even where the infant's death prevents the actual Baptism of water.
(4) By analogy, it seems that if actual intention can have baptismal effect in Baptism of desire, the vicarious intention for infant baptism can have baptismal effect if the actual baptism is rendered moot by the infant's death,
(5) Thus baptism of vicarious desire.

There are always people who treat morality as a rhetorical system of excuse-making.
matrimony as the sacrament of salvation history
Matrimony is like baptism, penance, and unction in being remedial; it is like confirmation, eucharist, and unction in being confirmatory; it is like baptism, confirmation, and ordination in being the foundation for a Christian state of life; it is like confirmation and ordination in being a sacrament of social service. It looks back to paradise, it represents the Passion, and it looks forward to the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb.
Hosea 2:16 is a pun: One day you will call me 'my husband' (ish = man) and will no longer call me 'my husband' (ba'al = lord).

In Mass we begin with objective Christ (Scripture) and continue to substantive Christ (Eucharist) by which we become sacramental Christ (Church). In the Scripture we begin with fundamental signs (the book) which are made formal signs (the reading); in Eucharist we begin with symbolic Body and Blood (the elements) which are made substantive Body and Blood; thus we who are figuratively the Body of Christ (Church as society) are made sacramentally the Body of Christ (Church as mystery).
activity as public actuality, actuality as other things may be related to it
Probability is always relative to assumed causal structure.
