The Origenist

I should be too

Hi

Went to a based woke (Gospel) Mass today.

Father said it is unchristian to oppose DEI,

Some politicians are trying to divide Christians by force through ICE,

Referred to “white” Christians as European Americans,

Included liberation theology themes in the homily,

We put down one of my family dogs yesterday:(

Philosophy Twitter is bad for philosophy and public understandings of philosophy.

Most of the large accounts on there are bullshit artists that copy/paste from online encyclopedias.

Forgot how many of my old mutuals moved over here 😰

The primary reason I’m still on Twitter is

How does Bluesky still not have polls?

A very @theorigenist.bsky.social coded question

I should post here more.

I got addicted to making polls

Enough X too much lately

Typically a week or two. In the Middle Ages there were a few times it was months or years.

The funeral is before the conclave.

Explained logical positivism to my roommate who is a PhD student in physics.

He started laughing.

It’s diocese by diocese in the United States.

Steubenville and Denver dioceses seem to be the most extreme politically.

I LOVE being Catholic.

Surprised that it was Steubenville diocese conservatism that challenged my faith and not academic philosophy 🤔

Why is Twitter plagued with Catholics that subscribe to young earth creationism.

Has X become a website for people to take pride in their stupidity?

Man that killed priest in Kansas was quoted as saying that the Church should follow Trump’s example.

These people literally worship the man as God. Yall need help.

According to the LDS Geneology website, which isn’t 100% accurate but a good generalization I assume,

I have a ton of French ancestry I didn’t know about

I have African-American ancestry

I’m descended from BOTH Montaigne and Böhme.

This is too cool.

Is this in reference to last year?

Good news: There is a mini-Renaissance emerging in the re-valuation of the humanities in the San Francisco Bay Area and Pacific Northwest (Metro Seattle, Portland, and Sacramento).

Bad News: It is in the realm of big business and technology management.

We will rebuild Erasmus Twitter into Erasmus Bluesky eventually

Who is this 😰

Someone blocked me lol

My academic advisor has two doctorates (apparently philosophy was sensitive about degree labels then; harder to make a career transition)

One is from UNC, Chapel Hill

One is from Duke

He roots for both teams in basketball 🤣

Probably the only person on the planet who could get away with this

Ok? Historically important I guess, not really relevant to the point I’m making.

The kids seem immature and swayed by extremist ideologies.

Based

Maybe the Jesuits have a point.

Gain professional experience or higher education before joining.

All the 18 year old, fresh out of high school, seminarians I see on Twitter are politically radicalized. Many are sympathizers for Franco.

Maybe the minimum ordination age should be older nowadays?

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

Neither of them are very relevant to what I’m writing about.

Eriugena maybe? But it feel forced.
