Call it Houdini already.
For a good Catholic (Dominican) summary of the encyclical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpptgvohfZc
From the Wikipedia page on the Catholic Church: "By means of Catholic charities and beyond, the Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world." Just yesterday I went to…
Because of Krazam it took me a minute or two to accept that this now exists for real
I'm personally rather fond of Java, but even this (or the shorter `Predicate`) still can't compete with the straightforward simplicity of a type along the lines of `string -> bool`.
No. The Bible says nothing about a European secular nationalist movement called Zionism. Certainly nothing positive.
Some Orthodox Jews are very active against it, on very sound religious grounds.
Not sure whether an index is still pragmatic. But I hope the Catholic Church of the future will take the defense of its flock more serious again. Many books (and movies and TV series...) out there contain downright evil…
No opinions on the ship itself, but the social proposals are very interesting :-) Earth biomes will be kept intact with respect to their natural evolution. But human society will be treated as an amoral engineering…
Would a true divine miracle be a suspension of order or a manifestation of it? Will it ever be possible to prove that some future human theory of reality is complete?
It might be added that Dominicans had the explicit calling to crown their preaching by leading virtuous lives marked by poverty. As an example of this, especially in the early days, Dominicans traveled a lot by foot as…
Yes. You are right. "My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." It would not be good to create religious beauty to "impress" God in a boastful way. All that is good…
"He who testifies to these things says, ``Yes, I am coming soon.'' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."
Correct, he lived in Turkey around the late third-early fourth century.
Read it here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0714.htm (E.g. when discussing the Eucharist.)
It's a catastrophe, not just esthetically but spiritually as well. It has nothing to do with austerity or wealth. Some of the churches no longer seek to express holiness ("having been set aside for God") and support the…
"This perfume was worth an entire year's wages. Why wasn't it sold and the money given to the poor?" Sacred art exists to honor the Lord. We ourselves may remain poor and humble in the middle of all this beauty :-)
Don’t confuse culture and gradual inculturation with purity of religion and validity of liturgy. In the age of the Messiah the faithful are truly drawn “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages”. If…
Napoleon: "don't you know that I can destroy the Church?" Bishop: "my colleagues have been trying for 1800 years and haven't succeeded."
When a woman honored the Lord with expensive perfume, it was Judas who complained about this. "Why wasn't this money given to the poor?" Many flawed people belong to the Church. But the art of the Church does not belong…
Indeed: some scholars date the synoptic gospels after 70AD because of their metaphysical assumption that predicting the future is impossible. But late dating creates a host of disparate problems that must be explained.…
The Q hypothesis has issues. For such an important document or source, nothing is known about it. Its existence is not mentioned or hinted at in external sources. No trace of it has been found. In addition, the synoptic…
Absolutely this. I had the exact same reaction: "mind" as in "mind-body" for me refers to things such as reasoning, qualia, intentionality, the fact that neural patterns somehow receive "real meaning". The mind may or…
I'm looking forward to going through this... thank you so much!
Definitely not ordinary places. Perhaps Stella Maris, the end point, is the most fascinating of all because of its association with the prophet Elijah.
