The human mind can reason to the existence and nature of something it cannot see. In physics this would include things like gravity. In metaphysics it includes things like the immaterial intellectual soul. If you deny the latter, you have no basis to sustain the former.

My 3x great grandfather, Bartolomé Masó, was a commander at the Battle of Peralejo in 1895 during the Cuban War of Indepedence.

Post a battle from American history that your ancestors participated in.

The Battle of Iwo Jima - decorated for courage in action.

@GrantAKaplan So this is the review you mentioned a while back.

Much of the discourse here reminds me of this quote by J. R. R. Tolkien.

@suzania Great ad for Vol 2 of Fredrik Logevall's bio of JFK (out in March 2027)

[Anthony @A_Jay_G]

@MinooFramroze @MatthewSitman @PeterAWBlair Hardly! Mr. Sitman wondered what a British style biography might mean. To me, an American biography is more journalistic. A British style bio is more perceptive of atmosphere and the ironies that texture someone's life.

@GibsonWrites @commonwealmag @NRO I still can't believe I was lucky enough to have a piece published in Commonweal.

Picked up Buckley stamps today. Besides @MatthewSitman, who else wants to see this guy on an envelope? At least I have an appropriate bookmark for my favorite this year, the Tanenhaus bio.

Uma Thurman was a Jesuit

#OTD in 1573, the death of Princess Joanna of Austria, believed to be the only female #Jesuit in history. She died as a Jesuit scholastic, having taken vows secretly under a special dispensation. https://t.co/oiIM7Yx7ne

Happy Labor Day from the #Jesuits!

@AmishCatholic I also love this by Goya, and wrote a Commonweal piece about it. https://t.co/WmPz6aEVWE

@MatthewSitman Irish bars are global Anglophone havens. After arriving in Rome from NYC, it was raining and too early for an Italian lunch after spending time at the Gesu. Popped into the Scholars Lounge and it was filled with fellow travelers.

That icy “are you sure?” is exactly how “a handbag?” from The Importance of Being Earnest should be delivered imo
