“ἀλλὰ μενοῦνγε καὶ ἡγοῦμαι πάντα ζημίαν εἶναι διὰ τὸ ὑπερέχον τῆς γνώσεως Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου“

[Papa Leão XIV @Pontifex_pt]

Não podemos considerar a #IA moralmente neutra. Na realidade, todo o artefato técnico traz consigo escolhas e prioridades: o que mede, o que ignora, o que otimiza e a forma como classifica pessoas e situações. O discernimento ético não pode limitar-se a perguntar se utilizamos um determinado sistema para um fim bom ou mau, mas deve também questionar-se sobre a forma como foi projetado e que ideia de pessoa e sociedade está inscrita nos dados e nos modelos que o orientam. #MagnificaHumanitas

A construção da basílica começou há 144 anos.

1/n
A physical book is a real object, anchored. If you read a particular edition, you remember not only the contents but the object itself: its cover, typography, smell, even where a passage sat on the page.
Books organize themselves in memory by place --the ancient method of loci.
Digital text does not exist.

@JamesLucasIT About Cristopher’s comments on the Treebeard chapter: are they in some volume of the history of middle earth? I’m doing a research on Tolkien. Thank you!

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

I love that Tolkien was as amazed writing The Lord of the Rings as we were reading it...

Scholar Tom Shippey noted that anyone familiar with the books who reads Tolkien's early drafts is bound to be surprised at "how little he had in the way of a plan, or even of a conception."

For instance, the reasons behind Bilbo's disappearance, the significance of the Ring, and even the title didn't come to him until 1938, a year into the writing.

One of my favorite facts about this is that Tolkien said the Treebeard chapter "was written off more or less as it stands... almost like reading someone else's work," and his son Christopher described it as seeming to "write itself."

The glorious humility of the crucified savior means that all attempts to desecrate or destroy his icons are only ever simulacra of the original attempt to overcome Christ’s meekness with might. In so doing, they recapitulate Christ’s victory despite themselves.

This beautiful choir sang and danced the Gloria in Bassa at Pope Leo’s Mass in Douala, Cameroon. You can feel their faith in every note and beat of this hymn. The devotion and joy of this people are moving hearts beyond Africa.

@jpcharleaux Forçou a barra ao contrapor a postura da igreja católica contemporânea àquela das cruzadas, a nada menos que UM MILÊNIO atrás...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

@tenshi_anna @91_starman67619 @JohannesAchill @RyanHaecker Very interesting, yes. I'm thinking of presenting a paper on Descartes vis-à-vis St Anselm on the (de)ontological argument. This comes directly from Marion, of course, in his defense of Anselmian deontology and Descarte's blanche theology.

[tiagocadedo @T_Cadedo]

@tenshi_anna I love this book.

Three days ago, Father Pierre Al-Rai, the parish priest in the village of Al-Qlayaa in southern Lebanon, welcomed the Lebanese government’s recent decision declaring that any military or security activity outside the authority of the state is illegal—referring to the government’s move to ban Hezbollah’s armed activity.

In a speech delivered in front of his church, he said the people of his community defend their land peacefully by remaining on their land. “None of us carries weapons,” he said. “The only weapons we carry are peace, love, and prayer.”

He urged that the area remain free of armed activity and warned that civilians should not be placed in danger.

Today, Father Pierre Al-Rai was killed by Israeli army artillery shelling.

“All is a sacred veil: the world as much as the Church and her sacraments, the hierarchies in heaven and on earth. But it veils only in order to initiate one more perfectly, so that ascending the steps of the shrine one can draw yet nearer to the mystery.”

—Hans Urs Von Balthasar

[tiagocadedo @T_Cadedo]

@tenshi_anna There is an English translation, I think.

[tiagocadedo @T_Cadedo]

@tenshi_anna I think you’re going to like this one. Marion writes the preface. About Heidegger and Christ, if I had to resume it in one sentence. In two: of how Christ is the hope Heidegger was waiting for, but that was veiled to him because of his prejudice against all things Hebrew.

[tiagocadedo @T_Cadedo]

@tenshi_anna Marion is pretty much unknown in Brazil, and I was lucky to find one his “doctorees” as a teacher in a public university around here, so my dissertation is for a master degree.

[tiagocadedo @T_Cadedo]

@tenshi_anna A dissertation, actually, and I will probably cross Marion with other contemporary phenomenologists at some point.
