Ironically, only the theistic evolutionist can say they believe evolution because it’s true. An atheist materialist can only say they believe it because it increases their survivability or level of fitness, unless they’re not really an atheist materialist

@Curi_Christian To love means to will the good of the other for their own sake. It is possible to speak of love in the sense of passion, but in the former sense, it is not a passion

@fawzydawah When we say the Triune God is One, He is not one according to number in a countable way (nor according to species nor genre as God is not a type of thing among many). God is One in the sense of unity as the ground of Being. The 3 Persons are according to number- no contradiction

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Patrick Neve @catholicpat]

Pope St. Pius X was speaking to a group of Cardinals. Pope Pius asked them, "What do we need to save society?"

Cardinal: Build more Catholic schools!

Pius: No

Cardinal: Build more churches!

Pius: No.

Cardinal: Recruit more priests??

Pius: Still No.

Cardinal: Then WHAT??

Pius: The most necessary thing of all is for each parish to have a group of laymen who are at the same time virtuous, enlightened, resolute, and truly apostolic.

[From "Soul of the Apostolate," 168.]

[Classical Theist ✠ @ClassicalTheis]

I genuinely think the turbo rigorism about sex in marriage that we see popularized today has the potential to inadvertently cause in many sentiments of indifference toward keeping the Church’s baseline teachings about sexual morality in general. When the bar for observing the precepts of Catholic morality is unnecessarily perceived as unlivably high, this can make the pursuit of sanctity appear hopelessly out of reach. It is one thing if this is due to a simple commitment to preaching what the Church undoubtedly binds us to uphold, but not when we are dealing with disputed questions where the vast majority of trusted theologians simply don’t share your flavor of moral rigorism. We cannot underestimate how critically important the proximate realizability of deification is for avoiding the unforgivable sin of despair. This is partly why confessors were advised to always lean on the side of probabilism especially when dealing with disputed questions of marital chastity in the confessional.

As the great moralist Archbishop Antonio Lanza put it in his Theologiae Moralis, “He who permits nothing, sometimes provokes one to all kinds of sin.”

@OrthodoxOrigen That’s your hottest take. Wittgenstein does not approve

@redeemed_zoomer You need good Turkish delight. There’s some bad Turkish delight out there. Hint, it doesn’t need to be covered in chocolate

[Classical Theist ✠ @ClassicalTheis]

Anyone who criticizes Leo for his exaltations of humanity have clearly never read the medievals who closely link together the microcosmic dimension of humanity with the splendor of the Incarnate-Logos

They were deeply anthropocentric and saw this as central to Christocentrism
