@jdflynn Something something leading the something something
Say what you will about Julian the Apostate, but at least he understood Christianity well enough to actually do some damage.
Steven Spielberg says his upcoming alien film, Disclosure Day, will have Christians "second-guessing" their beliefs.
"Is God our God only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there's civilization?"

@FrNickOFMConv Psalm prayers aren't in the latin, they were invented for the English translation which is why they occasionally imply heresy. Glad to leave them behind.

@OVTweetmarck "learning about apophatic theology" is a deeply ironic phrase that everyone should utter at some point.
@HBThomists What's it gonna take to get y'all to Dallas/Fort Worth though?
Tmw you tell the Holy Father a Dad joke.
Rose: "Holy Father, can I tell you a joke?"
Pope Leo: "Is it short? Lots of people want to meet me. Yes yes, okay. What's your joke?"
Rose: "What do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Pope Leo: "I don't know...what do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Rose: "Spookghetti!"
Pope Leo: "Oooooohhhhhoooo..." *cue laughter*

@JmtodTwit Pretty sure the specific quote he uses isn't in the movie version my guy.
Noble attempt at a troll nonethless
Encyclical thoughts: Paragraph 122 has a reference to Schindler's List that is, to my limited knowledge, the first reference to any film by a papal encyclical.
@FrancescoOlivi5 @Robin_C_Douglas Oo cool! Not an encyclical but noteworthy to find Schindler's List on that... list.
@Robin_C_Douglas Oo, interesting. Worth a double check for sure.
The Pope pretty clearly holds the same position that Aristotle and Augustine and Thomas and MacIntyre and Taylor all hold: that thinking is an action specifically of embodied intellect, that is, of the human organism as a whole. That is, if anything, the opposite of dualism.
Americans show up and suddenly the papacy is all hollywood movies and nerd wizard books and I am Here For It.
Encyclical thoughts: paragraph 10: first mention of synodality.
Paragraph 11: "Our hearts are restless until they rest in thee".
Step back everyone he's playing the hits
We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
@jdflynn I feel like Aquinas has a thing about deception being acceptable in war that could apply here...
We don't but sometimes I really do miss it as an easy opportunity to force my dang kids to stand up and pray like they're supposed to.
What’s your honest opinion on hand-holding during the Our Father?
