As for those battles, it is more the situation of Alexander the Great whom, to borrow a line from Washington Irving, “who wept, as well indeed he might, because there were no more worlds to conquer”

Maybe Robert Bellarmine is the guy for the job!

Pray that the Holy Spirit guides my writing! The quicker I get this done, the quicker I’ll be back!

Thanks so much! It’s really a matter of getting the work done that’ll help me continue to have that voice in a way that’ll be even more helpful.

Thanks! It’s really just a time management thing. I’m so close to the finish line with my dissertation that I just want to sprint across, so I’m shutting down things like social media which might slow me up.

I’ll be locking this account and logging off for a good while tomorrow morning. While I enjoy the exchange of ideas on here, it’s too often a time waster for me and, being focused on finishing my PhD a year early, shuttling down here is an easy thing to accomplish that goal.

Hey everyone, thanks for following me! Having handed in what will hopefully be the final draft of my thesis proposal yesterday, and looking toward moving to writing my dissertation, I’ve decided that I’m going to take a break from Twitter for a good long while.

It’s an excellent chain @Sirtakeiteasy1, and proves the point well.

The Church isn’t burning Abby & this isn’t liberation theology. It is an inculturated image of Christ just as much as the image of Christ in the Sistine Chapel, based on images of the Greek god Apollo, is. Jesus wasn’t white, if you’re not racist, I’m not sure why it’s a problem https://t.co/QrqOQ0Qoyu

Working on all of those things, poverty, racism, education, the environment, the death penalty is how we evangelize the culture and promote such a deep respect for the dignity of all human beings such that abortion will not only been illegal, it’ll be unthinkable.

Also, pro-life isn’t just an abortion question for me. It’s that, but it’s issues of poverty, racism, criminal justice reform, environmental stability, you know, kingdom of God type stuff.

Its a both/and. The framers couldn’t have imagined the industrial abortion complex we have today, but they left some guiding principles in the original text which easily could’ve guided the Court in a different direction in ‘73. That said, evangelizing a culture of life is key.

The #SupremeCourt really had a bad day with the consistent ethic of life. You’d think that a majority #Catholic court would understand that opposing #abortion and the #deathpenalty fall under the Constitution’s concern for general welfare? #ProLife (from womb to tomb)

Maybe we can pitch masks to trads as a modesty aid?

Hey @Travelers, if someone lands a ball on the umbrella in the middle of the lake, is it in play? If so, is there a boat?

When @icecube rightly dunks on the assumption that all images of #Jesus are inherently racist, (sorry @shaunking), backs #PopeFrancis, and tweets something relevant to your #academic work all at once. #itwasagoodday https://t.co/0agRj2ZMYW

Welcome to the wonderful world of popular piety.

Anyone ever wonder if social media is just a turbo-booster for what Girard would call memetic rivalry and that’s why things are maybe a bit too heated in society today? Just me? Hmmm... #Catholic #theology
