TheCuria.com Primus. cu-ri-a, n., pl. cu-ri-ae . [Latin cu-ria, council, curia.] cu-ri-al, adj. Secundus. car-di-nal, adj., n. [Middle English, from Late Latin cardina-lis, principal, pivotal, from Latin, serving as a hinge, from cardo-, cardin-, hinge.] car-di-nal-ship n. Tertius. Assorted statements have been made that one should not discuss politics, religion, or class . . . Therefore, The Cardinal so chooses to do so here, in all the detail that he can get around to . . . Currently His Eminence is not in, but you can leave a message.

Politics
. . . Well, actually, Money, or more specifically, tactical economics and why administrators decide what to do.

Religion.
Or Not Religion. Or both. Or neither. Or all of the above. Or None of the above.

Class.
How the Upper, Middle, and Lower classes are, how everyone in the 21st Century chooses his or her own class in America and a few other places as well, and why The Common Plebe, aka Yuppy, Preppy, Gatsby, InsertCodeNameHere, absolutely and vehemently keeps him and herself beneath the rest of us.
