Literally just woke up from a dream in which a disappointed trad friend was showing me around a "heretical, modernist" Catholic parish and I said "it can't be that bad" and then the opening hymn was "Someone Like You" by Adele
imagine pulling up to your local OCA parish and they’re chanting simon & garfunkel’s version of the beautitudes

The impulse to locate the truth-content of christianity outside of history undermines the faith from within. What makes the Incarnation special is precisely its complete and total mundanity—God as a victim of imperial violence like any other widow, orphan, and slave
I can only imagine the simultaneous dread and relief of being a dedicated Christian who, upon studying the life of Jesus from a closer historical perspective, slowly comes to realize that the whole thing was an interesting historical episode but totally mundane and explicable

Prayers for Krakow. 🙏🙏
My favourite city and location in Europe. That square is a sign of life and human community! How tragic that violence such as this could happen in a place like this. Prayers especially for the dead, the victims, and the first responders!

Especially when one starts from the insight that some being is producible, and that no being that is producible can produce itself.
At the end of the day, the Contingency Argument is strongest argument for theism. The totality of contingent reality must be explained in terms of something necessary, and there’s no plausible candidate for a necessary being other than a perfect mind. It just sort of is that simple.

I was so pleased to spend 40 minutes in my office this morning with one of my kindred spirit heroes, retired NIH director Francis Collins, someone who embodies the best of science and faith.

We're also a HYPER CONNECTED state. There was old NYTimes data showing that Michigan was the number one state for people having most of their facebook friends also from michigan. You could be on the border with ohio and still have more facebook friends with yoopers

After his previous stunt with Incred Papist and this hilarious one, I’m officially nominating @SimonSimplicio as the face of Roman Catholicism’s shamelessly liberal and ecumenical wing.
