It’s like Elwood Blues entered the seminary.
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?
It's the Pope in 1982.

as someone who is friends with an actual ordained and seminary-graduated pastor, who is one of the kindest and most progressive people i know...
i refuse to call shitheads like this guy "pastors."
preachers, maybe. but not pastors.
they're fascist grifters who use Jesus as their poster boy.

I thought seminary would make me more liberal theologically and that… has not happened

"Seminary hadn’t fixed the tiny complication I carried with me throughout my theological education: I didn’t know God."
Appreciated this vulnerable and bold reflection from a UCC pastor. Heard about it from @philipchristman.bsky.social on Substack.

Same. Prayer can be radical and transformative if it speaks truth to power or reveals a truth about power. I'm an atheist and have a MA in Biblical Studies. I spent 3 years at a liberal seminary for my degree and it taught me a lot about the power of faith based action for justice.

LOL I get it. I went off on a Christian Nationalist in a private FB group for grads from my seminary, partly over his abhorrent and totalitarian views, but mostly because he tried to co-opt Plato in ways that made it obvious he'd never actually read Plato. Some things can't be tolerated.

Three recurring themes I’ve noticed about us* since beginning seminary
1. We do not fear God enough
2. We do not believe God loves us.
3. We seek the love of God in temporal possessions and faint and fleeting feelings of bliss
*us, as in the collective “we”

Did I ever tell yall about the literal professor I had in seminary who, among other things, referred to the Virgin Birth as a “myth” within Christianity, something that was deeply considered by our textbook? ⚓️

All of these are pretty awesome except for Barron and Weisenburger, who fired three theology profs from the seminary this summer without cause. He's also tyrannical about trad mass, but the firing is a bigger concern

This was a wild time in seminary. Definitely need to retake a theology class from an Anglican for sure. ⚓️
“Probably not true”.
I went digging in my old notes and found the profs note that “Virgin Conception: not in Paul and Mark; simple assertion falls into docetism”

I was way more liberal Protestant in my views going into seminary. Jesus Seminar, Tillich-tinged, physical resurrection agnostic. God used seminary to convert me afresh

Anyway my class on Job in seminary is literally the educational experience I use the most in daily life and it's very frustrating that no one has managed to teach it successfully on a wider scale

I read Gabriel Amorth's book while in seminary out of curiosity, and he made a big point about how the devil will attack any sin in the exorcist, and how the exorcist needs to frequent the sacraments and devotional life. It's insanity to me that celebrity exorcists are a thing.

In Wake Forest, a suburb of Raleigh, NC, the incumbent Mayor kowtowed to the scumbag leaders of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and last month rejected a bid to merely recognize the rights of the LGBTQ community to exist in her town. She was CRUSHED 70-30% in her reelection bid. 😎

Checked out some demolitions this morning. Green fencing already up at 1915 North Sheffield and what’s left of 2142 North Seminary (totally insane that a four-flat will be replaced by a SFH).

Interesting to see the Latter-day Saints position on AI:
>"We are teaching church members that we will not grow spiritually if we allow AI to write our sacrament talks or do our seminary homework. AI cannot replace our individual effort and spiritual preparation as we prepare lessons, prayers...”

Church won’t use AI to create images of Jesus Christ or to prepare conference talks, apostle says
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses AI, but general conference talks are divinely inspired, not artificial, Elder Gong says.
