Time is a flat circle

We should be using every business and legal mechanism on Earth to wrest this great cathedral from the clutches of the heretics that enabled this

I am being completely, 100% serious, if the Vatican somehow figured out how to implement a blanket ban on all uses of AI art in Church contexts, it would be the best and most important decision made in our lifetimes

Reading this manga concerning the Renaissance era Church (Cesare by Fuyumi Soryo) and Savonarola has so much aura

Never thought this would precipitate a discussion of atonement in both Christian and Ancient Greek theology! What’s not so surprising: how well versed the Chinese are with the Western classics, they probably can go toe to toe with our academics, if not outclass us

There really ought to be a reform order of the Jesuits, harking back to what they once were: missionaries to the ends of the Earth, the fiercest defenders of the faith during the Counter-Reformation, the most elite mathematicians, astronomers, theologians. These guys were cracked

"We, therefore, readily grant that, as a general rule, the revealed deposit is not couched in abstract or philosophic statements; but rather in concrete, singular, popular, common-sense statements. The reason for it is obvious. The revealed deposit was not written for the wise alone, as were the works of Aristotle or Plato; but for the whole of mankind, just as much, perhaps even more, for the simple folk than for philosophers or theologians. And when one speaks or writes for everybody and not for a learned group, when one addresses himself to the popular mind and not to specialists, the language employed is, and has to be, concrete, singular, couched in ordinary, commonsense terms. As a general rule, such is the language of the Holy Bible and of divine Tradition. It is the strongest token of its perenniality and catholicity, since thus the language is accessible to all kinds of persons, places, and times." (4, 1, n. 195)

Newman's 'The Dream of Gerontius' (even more beautiful when heard alongside Elgar's setting) is perhaps the most beautiful, hopeful depiction of purgatory I have yet encountered
