I think that's what early MacIntyre was suggesting but by the time of his Giffords I find he's much more open to constantly contesting the traditions which have shaped us and seeing conflicts in and between traditions as healthy & necessary.
Also, architecture: No cinderblock churches with 3-acre parking lots in Etchmiadzin or Kyiv or Damascus, Cairo, etc. Instead, icons, iconstases, domes in ancient cities. Students could scarcely believe such places existed outside of a Disney movie.
I gave free reign to my sadism with regard to dishwashers and used to horrify other "must rinse!" screachers in my family: "Oh yeah! Let's see if you can clean off this spatula with the half-inch of dried bread dough and mould that accrued after it fell behind the stove for a month!!"
Can confirm after teaching hundreds of Am undergrad Christians. Entire semester devoted to Eastern Christians (Oriental & Byzantine), including attending at least 1 liturgy/qurbana, could not disabuse c. 50% of students from calling ECs "Islamic"--largely, I suspect, b/c of skin colour.
Daily I'm tempted to write some article about The Uses and Abuses of History by MAGA, but there are so many, and so obvious, and so clumsily executed, it feels like child's play assembling them all and I fear I'd bore the reader.
Shorter version (mine): "When I practice the piano I swear a lot."
Next up: Absinthe parties.
Leo XIII's promotion of Thomism was a rather sordid affair as I recall from Chadwick's history of 19th century popes.
This is exactly my struggle trying to watch my piano teacher showing me proper fingering for a given piece. I nod along while pretending to look but have to go home and figure it out on my own.
Where's that novena to the great asteroid to come wipe us all out?
It's The Jetsons come to life!
Mon Dieu! C'est un crime!
But surely a response from you would be--what's the gospel image?--an example of pearls before swine?
Yes, happily! DM me or email: adeville@sf.edu. Can also do Zoom, etc if you want.
I've little interest in wine/beer making, but gin making I would definitely try.
I've read it twice and trained with Paul Lysaker before his early death. It's been very helpful in my work with psychotic patients.
A piano, violin, and St Nicholas icon as background--love it!
Is this the book by chance?

She's even more scornful of so-called "mysticism (a dog's breakfast of a word that needs to be eliminated from the discussion) is tainted with voyeurism and self-aggrandizement and has become a consumer circus."

Maggie Ross in her book on silence is withering on modern so-called spiritual direction: "It evolved as a form of mind control" and "is counter-productive and a distraction: it tends to make the 'directee' become increasingly preoccupied with his or her self-construct and imagined 'spiritual
Lovely!
I totally love this and would have played it with you.

The race to embrace AI by so-called educators is a complete disgrace and total abdication of their responsibility to help students learn to use their minds well.
Poutine!
Now let's have the requisite fight: is it pink? rose? dusty rose? And is this colour permitted 2 Sundays a year only, or employed more frequently than that, and if the latter, who issued the indult and do we recognize his magisterial authority?
