Framing *this* website as “anti-intellectual” is hilarious

Yeah this is only their 2nd season I believe. Not even real minor league just some savannah banana type BS league

It’s the minor league hockey arena, yes, really

"Before the daily images of the cruelty of war, the Church raises her voice and proclaims the sacredness of the human person — of every concrete human being anywhere on earth — and the duty of absolute respect for that dignity."

I am very proud of our community’s response to this evil.

This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.

A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel. — Fyodor Dostoyevsky

How I wish I wasn’t aware of it

I like that a central conceit of Christianity is that God used to very actively intervene in the affairs of man and then just sort of lost interest

Greatest example I've ever seen of "American atheist confidently decides that the entirety of Christianity is represented by what their evangelical parents believe"

By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, / You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! / Like the children with the palms of victory, / we cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death: / Hosanna in the Highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!

Look, we're all going to watch tonight's game, yay baseball, welcome back, this one counts, but a night game? On Netflix? Babes, BABES. You don't have to call that Opening Day. Have some self respect.

O Victorious Leader of Triumphant Hosts! / We, your servants, delivered from evil, sing our grateful thanks to you, O Theotokos! / As you possess invincible might, set us free from every calamity / so that we may sing: Hail, O unwedded Bride!

It’s difficult to exist in online Orthodox circles and not engage with the Orthobro discourse, though I’ve always found the solution is either 1) these people aren’t real/do not attend 2) just be normal around them and they won’t be weirdos

Oh I agree, but we’re getting dangerously close to Tommy Milone territory with this rotation

Yeah and now they’re backed into a corner to probably sign Giolito who may be the most obvious regression guy on the whole market

Theotokos

The “followers liked” tab is quite good, especially for blocking people

Come and take it

That looks really good, New Rome has such quality printing too

Small pleasures the first week of Lent: getting these bad boys out of storage.

I’ve definitely come around to the belief that it’s best practice to only buy icons if they are gifts for others, they’re not baseball cards.

Seems like dombrowski might have a gig at BA lined up in a few years
