A tiny part of me looks forward to being scolded for reading and deploying my guy Balthasar against fascism. I can’t decide what exactly I’ll say, but it’ll be some version of “I didn’t realize fascism would wait patiently for us to use only perfect theologians and not, say, whatever we have.”

Told a phd student about this movie last week (I own it now because I used the jail scene to organize some concepts for Antigone)… and we were standing next to the Thomas More replica painting in the hallway of the humanities building.
Ah real history. I mean I don’t even like Utopia. But I love this movie and I love that Thomas More shows up in every Catholic law school somewhere.

I don’t understand posts like this. What am I supposed to do with “90% of nuns are neurodivergent,” that’s not a claim, and if it were, what is it even a claim about. I’m not having fun, I’m not amused, I’m not sure who we’re making fun of, or how we’re not making fun of at least somebody.

I have a shameful past as a complete jerk about liturgy, so I try to avoid saying something extremely out of pocket. I succeed like… 2 out of 3 times.
I didn’t realize the liturgy was such that the wrong singing made it cease to be a liturgy at all. What a compete wuss the liturgy must be. Kneel wrong and it dies.

At Mass this AM (I made everyone go; I’m fun), the petitions invoked the original promises of freedom and prayed for us to meet them, AND prayed for native peoples. In a town that’s not woke.
Also we did the Eucharistic Prayer with Felicity and Perpetua and Cosmos and Damian in it. Made me happy.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us; and
after this our exile show unto us the

I’m different. I want biblical characters: fucked up, scared, constantly misunderstanding simple instructions, earning doom for subsequent generations.
