@TeresaTomeo My favorite philosopher

@SecretFire79 Josephus described a smaller temple platform and a bigger fort Antonia. I doubt we’ll ever know the real layout. It’s crazy that there are so few eyewitness descriptions from the time of this magnificent building.

@thewaronbeauty Except for the poetic aspects, ;)reading Hegel was a similar experience for me. It’s like a workout in a mental gym, trying to figure him out, but everything else seems easy in comparison.

@SingTheHours Thank you again for the beautiful and inspiring opportunity to join up with the pilgrim’s as you visited mission Santa Barbara.

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@thewaronbeauty Beautifully written, thank you for writing this. 🙏🏼Another group of artists like the PRB were the Nazarene brotherhood. Unfortunately I haven’t found any good collections of their work. They are probably neglected because they love Catholic beauty, and were masters.

@TodayinHistory He was a friar, he broke his vow of chastity.

@clau_btc @TrumpGirlLove Yes, here in Santa Barbara the limit is eight stories in height, and good luck if you want anything but a red tile roof :)

@SecretFire79 No alcohol, and there’s also a lot of desert in Utah coincidentally :)

@IsraelMychannel Do you consider Josephus’ descriptions of the temple in your maps? His platform area only encompasses half the size of the Mount. From the southwest corner it would only reach the dome of the rock.

@_CatholicWest Bucareli was a generous and beneficent viceroy. He was a knight of Malta as well.

@_CatholicWest Wasn’t there another Carmelite named Andre of the ascension? I think he named the Santa Barbara channel and maybe celebrated mass?

@TaylorRMarshall @holysmoke Bishoptrix has a better ring to it

@_CatholicWest It’s not as if the alternative to the WASP progressive at the time was the glorious Hispanic empire, it was the corrupt atheistic Mexican mason

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@_CatholicWest I’m grateful everyday the civic engagement waspy mentality was interested in beautifying our state in the Spanish style

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@lumiere_clarita @_CatholicWest Yes, ultimately the undoing of new Spain and the expansion of the US was the fault of Napoleon rather than the fruit of American independence

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@_CatholicWest @lumiere_clarita It wasn’t meant to be though. Divine Providence provided a spot that looks so much like Spain in places. Russian orthodoxy is more suited for Alaska 😅

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@lumiere_clarita @_CatholicWest Except Napoleon had already put the Spanish government in disarray by the time manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine were established

[Michael Aberle @migueliteux]

@_CatholicWest Yes, in a round about way. I’ve enjoyed reading about them and visiting most of them
