The Book of John ends in the most baller way… “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:25

It is quite alarming that as time progresses humanity seems more and more eager to replace ourselves and every trace of our fingerprint left on the world. Modern designs embody this — spaces not for humans but for something else. No art, warmth, or life. Built as the repository for our technology but not us.

NGL, the more I look at this, the more I realise this is just modern interior design. There is something viciously anti-human about for example the makeover of the Home Alone house and so much modern design. A complete absence of life, warmth, quirks, no place for the past.

Western nations have spent the last 500 years at war with the Catholic Church, and now that they are facing an existential crisis, wonder why the Catholic Church is not doing everything in its power to save them. "Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum."
