Chesterton's kind of funny to me because despite having your average Victorian racism he was pretty anti-imperialistic since if it's OK for Englishmen to be hardcore nationalists why can't the Egyptians or Nicaraguans?

It's really really easy for that in particular to blow up into people getting really angry so we tend to avoid it.

I know Catholics accept Protestant baptism as long as it's Trinitarian (ie in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not just in the name of Jesus), and if there's dispute of whether or not it counted they get a conditional baptism.

Hey Hegel- I was doing some research into the Galileo affair and came across the claim that asserting the Earth is not in the center of the universe caused theological problems (that is not just in terms of scriptural interpretation but in asserting that humanity isn't the center of the universe) - does your knowledge of the early modern period back that up?

HEY GAL posted:yeah, the catholodox don't know poo poo about oratory right now, although i've attended some good catholic homilies none of them have been good in the way that'd really get you het up. one catholic priest explicated some aristotle for us once, that was fun We have a short little Mexican priest at our parish whose English homilies are pretty good but quiet, short, and not very exciting. By the end of a Spanish homily you're ready to charge tanks and I don't even speak Spanish.

TBH I'm not really sure where you're coming from here. There are some obfuscated parables but that one always seemed pretty clear to me- the Pharisee makes a show of being religious because he thinks he's better than everyone else but he's blind to his own faults and pride; while the tax collector (btw tax collectors are whipping boys a lot in the Gospels because a) they were tied to the Romans who were, uh, not terribly popular with the Jews and b) Roman tax collectors were basically paid off what they could extort from people) acknowledges his faults and asks God for mercy. Those who think they're the best are inherently prideful but those who recognize their flaws will be forgiven.

I guess I meant that I try to control the universe: other people, institutions, uncontrollable entities - because I cannot bear the universe as it is.

Tias posted:I know this wasn't what zonohedron meant, but it's definitely a common viewpoint in our society. I've been on social security payments for 13 years on and off, and there's nothing I want more than to go out there and work, but I can't because of a self-contradictory, time/paper-consuming bureaucratic behemoth that makes the Adeptus Administratum look like a fast checkout lane.

JcDent posted:We should build a giant, well stocked room deep underground and stay there until the next election. podesta emails contained an exchange that was somewhat insulting to conservative Catholics, a charge which would bear more weight if trump's campaign manager hadn't claimed the bishops were only for immigration to boost their parish attendance and complained about being sick and tired of 'social justice Catholicism' shoved in his face by....
