A New Science of PHYSIKE?

Sacred Art, Maybe, But Not Iconography

Time-bound historical realism over the Eternal Reality Who is Christ.

i love all Virgo Lactans iconography as it is a very Christmasy tradition, but these are my favorite bc they feature our lord horsing around, wiggling, fidgeting, & being otherwise uncooperative, which makes them very relatable from a mom standpoint pic.twitter.com/UYOHVj09js

What Sort of Latin Theology of Grace Is This?

As if any aspect of the Saving Mystery Who is our Lord Jesus Christ could be separated from Him?

Christmas, and the other Feast Days of the Church, participate in the power of the keys.
That is to say, the Church’s calendar binds on earth and in heaven in such a way that the grace of the event designated arrives by God’s will, and renews those who wait upon it.

A Reflection by Fr. Alexander Schmemann on the Nativity of Our Lord

The Divine Child - A Reflection from Alexander Schmemann | Christ said “become like children” (Mt 18:3). What does this mean? What are adults missing, or better, what has been choked, drowned or deafened by a thick layer of adulthood? https://t.co/9mL2JwNBMs pic.twitter.com/GR0pCMXEEe

Aquinas, Original Sin, and the Challenge of Evolution by Daniel W. Houck

I have just finished reading this, by @DanielWHouck. It is terrific. Here is a work on theology and science that is as thoroughly grounded in one as it is in the other, which is by no means universally true of writing in the field. @CambridgeUP @CUPBookshop pic.twitter.com/aHAm8hxlQ3

Latin Kabbalah Revisited

Important piece by Andrew Kuiper. Increasingly we realise, as Balthasar already did, that the deployment of Kabbalah by Giles of Viterbo etc was perfectly orthodox. We need to return to Catholic Renaissance theology which now matters more than Reformation or Counter Reformation. https://t.co/MOvjX8qDNP

Leonardo Boff

“Boff proposes an ecclesial revolution that would lead to the end of the Catholic Church as we have known it for two thousand years and to the emergence of a new Church…basically a human institution that can be changed at will.” https://t.co/LNjcnGUX6F

Anniversary of Religiosam Vitam

The Dominican Order turns 804 years #OTD. A number of years ago I had a chance to see the papal bull (Religiosam vitam) of 22 Dec 1216 by Honorius III approving Dominic's community. The papal seal is still intact and the document is in very good shape at the library in Toulouse. pic.twitter.com/SJChNFu0GC

It is like ecclesiastical gaslighting; a system that demasculates the priest, and hallows his authority, since he is always fearful of exercising his priesthood in a way the bishop doesn't like. https://t.co/gzPXuNCKjv
