Pythagoras who died after fasting for 40 days points to the Christ the Logos.

Hard to take Peter Kingsley seriously in Catafalque when his thesis is that Plato broke from true philosophy by ending the philosopher’s descent into Hades. How can he make this statement having surely read The Phaedo?

For the Orphic contains that which seeks the truth through myth and the Pythagorean through number and physics, and Plato employed these both to reveal that which is true (Proclus, Platonic Theology).

But for the sake of the whole world, which was lost, our Lord appeared physically so that he might win the whole world and so that the world might know the will of God from God himself and from his footsteps....Therefore, his advent was for the sake of everyone so that everyone

Fr. Stephen de Young arguing the correctness of Hume’s attack on metaphysics was not on my 2025 bingo card.

10-2. Never would have imagined. What a season.

Reading Rabbit is Rich in the Year of Lord 2025 is such a trip. Inflation, gold, the struggles of the next generation all the same as in 1979. Bonus points for the appearance of the ‘79 replacing the ‘28. That’s when it all went wrong. IYKYK.

Ridiculously cool seeing that CFB Playoff logo on the tickets. Let’s go on a run tonight. #BoomerSooner

All I want for Christmas is the complete Loeb Classical Library collection. 📕📗🎄

Having never listened to the final movement of Mahler’s 1st, imagine my surprise to discover how much of it Williams incorporated into his score for The Force Awakens.

Conformity Gate? Remember the King of Limbs Part 2?

Ralph Fiennes does indeed give one of the best performances of the decade in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Phenomenal film.

Those who wish to view the Father as addressing the divine council rather than the Trinity need to wrestle with Justin’s Dialogue with Trypho Chap. 62.

You know Luke 12 and Romans 2 are rather illuminating when read together
