Sure
But what future for academic theology in an age of collapse?
"Like Narcissus, such a person can pursue the discipline of theology only to discover that they have not found God, but an image of themselves reflected in a cultural mirror."

Who Needed Ressourcement to a Greater Degree than the Other Jurisdictions?
The patriarchate of Rome.
CWR : The Next Pope is an evangelical call to ressourcement by Eduardo Echeverria
George Weigel’s new book provides a balanced perspective on what the next pope should embrace in order to promote the radically Christocentric and evangelical imperative of the Church.
Church Life Journal
I'm not going to critique Taylor here, though what he says is worthy of critique, as his understanding of the problem of political life is flawed, and affects his understanding of the Church's mission as well.
I won't disagree that the patriarchate of Rome needed Ressourcement, not only to become familiar with the Fathers as models, but also as voices of the Tradition, and to be able to distinguish between what is directly pertaining to the Kerygma, theological propositions that have been found to have value in explaining the Kerygma and accepted by the Church Universal, theological opinion that is not yet accepted by all of the Church Universal, and so on. Was a Latin synod posturing as an ecumenical council the best or most effective means of bringing Ressourcement to Latin bishops? Or could this aspect of ecclesial reform have been done in a better and more cost-effective way? If the synod had just been an opportunity for bishops to gather, pray, study and have discussions, without feeling it necessary to issue documents to justify the calling of the synod, would the results have been better?

Maybe Not Everything Jacob Did Was Praiseworthy
Indeed, especially in his life before receiving the name of Israel, which was not given in exchange for him overcoming God, but as a gift?
And our Lord is confirming this?
And our Lord is confirming this?
There is something odd (almost, dare I say, ironic) about our Lord calling Nathanael "a true Israelite, without guile" (John 1:47), since of course the original Israel (Jacob), was a man of preeminent guile, who tricked his brother Esau and his father Isaac to get his blessing.

What About the Old Believers?
Dr. Brian Butcher does say that the Ukrainian Catholic recension is closer to the Greek and the pre-Nikonian Russian recensions... I'd like to see a video comparing the pre-Nikonian recension with the reformed recension.

The Lack of Learning among Latins...
He is so right. The problem is that Catholics have not learned history but apologetic history - and so they don't know anything about the diversity of history. And of course, church history has almost been eliminated in seminary education.https://t.co/Nj3l1iP7MH
