Some things that I’m totally committed to and also totally understand how people find them incredibly off-putting: Christianity, Liberalism, Jazz Fusion, the EU, the state’s claim to monopoly on legitimate violence as such. Missionary kid.

I don’t feel particularly hardline, but ok.

This is like @csilverandgold.bsky.social ’s classic post but for harmony

Bara utifrån det du citerar är det väl inte ”det är inte en konservativ trend”, utan mer ”det är en konservativ trend, och andra grejer”? När det gäller de liberala männen så är det ju kul att de hittar till kyrkan, men jag skulle vilja veta mer om vad de lägger i ordet

“Our analysis shows that young men are drawn to Christianity through multiple, overlapping reasons. It is not attractive to young men because of one single factor, but because it responds to different needs and longings, some of which might even seem opposing to each other. Saying that it is only about conservatism is by far simplifying the phenomenon.”

I don’t know what you mean by a ”pluralistic church”. Culturally, organizationally, theologically the answer is obviously yes. Or what else would this mean?

ireneprotest@ireneprotest· May 5

Anyway I don’t get how you can read the last paragraph in context of the whole lecture and come away with the idea that SH is Vermeule in a hippie shirt. The antithetical means are exactly the Christian Nationalists’ means!

ireneprotest@ireneprotest· May 5

(This also goes to what you were saying about SH totalizing claims for the Church, which is tricky to find while I’m composing this thread. But see what he has to say about Constantinian cultural imperialism here:

ireneprotest@ireneprotest· May 5

So fundamentally, the lecture is a celebration of pluralism, not a warning against it! A commonplace in missiology is that the principle of the incarnation means that the Church will always be shaped by the context where it’s planted. SH is calling for his audience to lean into that fact.

My bad, it’s seven genders

Upstairs it was, at first, much the same. Merlin saw in memory the wintry grass on Badon Hill, the long banner of the Virgin fluttering above the heavy British-Roman cataphracts, the yellow-haired barbarians. He heard the snap of the bows, the click-click of steel points in wooden shields, the cheers, the howling, the ringing of struck mail. He remembered also the evening, fires twinkling along the hill, frost making the gashes smart, starlight on a pool fouled with blood, eagles crowding together in the pale sky. And Ransom, it may be, remembered his long struggle in the caves of Perelandra. But all this passed. Something tonic and lusty and cheerily cold, like a sea-breeze, was coming over them. There was no fear anywhere: the blood inside them flowed as if to a marching-song. They felt themselves taking their places in the ordered rhythm of the universe, side by side with punctual seasons and patterned atoms and the obeying Seraphim. Under the immense weight of their obedience their wills stood up straight and untiring like caryatides. Eased of all fickleness and all protestings they stood; gay, light, nimble, and alert. They had outlived all anxieties; care was a word without meaning. To live was to share without effort this processional romp. Ransom knew, as a man knows when he touches iron, the clear, taut splendour of that celestial spirit who now flashed between them: vigilant Malacandra, captain of a cold orb, whom men call Mars and Mavors, and Tyr who put his hand in the wolf-mouth. Ransom greeted his guests in the tongue of heaven. But he warned Merlin that now the time was coming when he must play the man. The three gods who had already met in the Blue Room were less unlike humanity than the two whom they still awaited. In Viritrilbia and Venus and Malacandra were represented those two of the Seven genders which bear a certain analogy to the biological sexes, and can therefore be in some measure understood by men. It would not be so with those who were n…

It’s pretty awful on Tidal as well. A lot of the purported artists are deceased, but it doesn’t stop them from putting out schmaltzy AI slop, it seems. Here’s a screenshot of my ”recommended for you” feed from this weekend, when I tried to get in touch with Tidal’s support team (it was also AI).

Belt and suspenders: guy’s in the line of David on both sides (adopted in the case of his father, hence Matthew and Luke’s begats), also conceived through the Spirit of God.

So IJ, I hear, is built like a fractal. Once you get far enough into the book that you see the list of sponsored years, you’re past the chaotic jumping around of the first bit. And even if there’s more chaos to come (which, probably) you’ll know what other stuff to relate it to, and how.

det katolska biskopskollegiet i USA är nog en hyfsat tung uttolkare av hur en ”kristen människosyn” grundad i katolsk sociallära/kristdemokrati bör tillämpas i frågor om att retroaktivt frånta migranter sina rättigheter. Den här skrivelsen rekommenderas varmt: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...
