gonna post a thread of the Rivendell Lego set.
Took a break for a while because doing Lego with a sling became too hard. so some of these are older. Fun way to keep track of progress
Only a few pages in. But this book seems to be saying in a more post-modern philosophical way what Ratzinger says about the relationship between history and metaphysics and the disaster of their mutual separation
Pope stops Palpatine from dissolving the Senate.
“Pope Pops Palp‘s Program” would be a great headline
Iconic singer/songwriter Bob Dylan met our beloved Pope Leo XIV, our first American-born Pope at the Vatican on Wednesday.
Now if you’re shaking your head thinking:
“Who in the world is Bob Dylan??”
…you might be the only one–and I am fairly positive your parents have an album stashed away somewhere!
The 85-year old Nobel laureate in literature, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, but known the world over as Bob Dylan, took the music industry by storm in the 1960s and 70s’...
While this Fall November day brought the two together in person, their connection was forged earlier this past summer in July.
In the preface to a book published by the Vatican Publishing House (LEV) titled Disarmed and Disarming: Peace Is a Gift, Pope Leo XIV used words from one of Dylan's poetic compositions to issue a stern warning against global rearmament and the nightmare of nuclear weapons:
“I hate you cause yer man-made and man-owned, an’ man-handled.”
The verses come from the protest song, "Go Away You Bomb,” written by Dylan in 1963 at the height of Cold War tensions. The piece remains a unique part of Dylan's catalog — it was never officially recorded or released on any music album, and its original manuscript remained unpublished until its discovery in 2013.
This isn’t the first time Dylan has met the Vicar of Christ. Back in 1997, Pope John Paul II famously engaged with the poet, playing in front of a huge Catholic crowd with 300,000 young people gathered for the Eucharistic Congress in Bologna Italy.

Just finished this book…one of the most evocative books I have read for a long time. Who would have thought a story about a woman living in 14th Century Norway could be so affecting. Would highly commend.
eagerly awaiting for it to get on amazon.ca so I can order it. Having written my MTh on Blondel, I am firmly convinced that the thought of this Servant of God needs to be more thoroughly disseminated
well “the” truth is a Person, Jesus Christ. He is also the Wisdom of God. Because of this, He purifies our sense of truth rather than the other way around.
And will take whatever is good, true, and beautiful of any other religious tradition, including Buddhism. Since the world embodies the “seeds of the Word”, the
wisdom of Buddhism that is true will find its fullness in Christ.

Please pray for our pastor, Fr. Tim MacDonald, who found out he has stage 4 melanoma with a cancerous tumor in his skull causing mobility problems. The tumor is bleeding and growing. He needs prayers desperately, as does our whole parish. This young man has been a blessing to us.

“Most of what we call education is total destruction of the perceptual and other acquisitions of people.
There is more affinity between peace-time education and war-time aggression than might at first meet the eye.”

In the age where person and office are so integrated in our mindset, the recent papacies of Leo and Benedict doing real distinction between person and office is a healing balm to the world.
Criticism of Pope Leo’s decision to vote mostly boils down to the argument that Robert Prevost, the man and private citizen, no longer exists. But is that the case?

Pondering out loud: but wondering if we need less “instant takes” (I include myself in this) and more theologically informed responses to Catholic and world events. Because the Catholic position must always consider an event in the light of the whole Truth
Kinda weird how my study of Ratzinger has led to me having theoretical considerations about the nature of daylight savings time changes and how they affect our sense of time and history
The prequels were meh but this was the best fight sequences of the entire Star Wars series
So, for the past 24 hours, there’s been this stupid debate about the quality of the Star Wars prequels.
It’s important for you to understand that I’m not even a fan of the saga. As a child, I only watched it once or twice, and I didn’t feel any urgent need to show it to my own kids.
But how can anyone watch a scene like this and say, "Yeah, these movies were total crap..."?
These films served their purpose perfectly: to entertain and move young boys and teenagers. And this particular scene comes from the worst of the three!
Stop being so snobbish, seriously. Besides, Revenge of the Sith is a popular masterpiece; people have been making memes about it for 20 years. Do you really think a completely terrible movie could have that kind of staying power?
fake. so tired of this fake stuff.
it is missing the entrances, the construction on the glory side is missing, no cranes, no fence blocking off all entries, etc.
Prepping my classes for the winter. Have decided a thematic word is helpful to guide my content and not get sidetracked by every possible idea.
Christianity and World Religions: religio
Married Love and Sexuality: Otherness
Holy Eucharist: actio
This is so Ratzinger coded!
Faith can be embodied in all cultures, because it does not identify itself with any of them in a specific one. It dwells within them, shaping them from within according to the “form” of Jesus Christ; that is, through charity, service and the filial recognition of God’s fatherhood. In this way, the Church draws from the various cultures all that is good, beautiful and true, in order to embody and transmit the message of the Gospel. #GeneralAudience
JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity
