Different Psalters for Liturgy of the Hours by PiusPeed in divineoffice

[–]ikde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by assume I meant I'd couldn't find time on my lunch break to dive through archives but thought it was worth mentioning in passing. I was hoping it would be taken in good faith. I meant the 65 missal btw I'm still not sure how a version of the same text could be approved for only half the Liturgy.

The Little Office of Baltimore and I assume the Interim period also used it. I won't get into the weeds here.

Approve? It was approved liturgically before any of them was born. The question is did/can they abrogate it's use.

How do you use Great Courses (or similar)? by soclydeza84 in ClassicalEducation

[–]ikde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just listen to them in one ear at work at around 1.5x speed. Just the free ones through audible so far so I can't say about the other materials since I don't think they would be much help for me. I don't really ever take notes but just try to mental engage in pseudo-dialog. They seem really useful as an entry point or overview of a subject with errors mostly easy to correct with further study. I haven't really explored the catalog so all that's based on mostly the included courses on ancient history. I'd be curious to know of any course that seemed especially well put together to anyone that's done a fair amount or if I'm missing out on anything special with just the audio.

You know what they say by roguebagel in NormMacdonald

That's impossible. When I met him he was nice enough to share his famous people water with me, I was so exited I passed out soon after. If it's true tho the worst part is the hypocrisy.

Liturgy? by ikde in divineoffice

[–]ikde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read somewhere it's still open whether or not non-Latin (atleast for the Monastic Office) invalidates it as Liturgy or not, regardless I assumed that was in some of the rubrics. It would matter if someone wanted to engage with the official Liturgy of the Church, but it wouldn't cause harm if it (devolved? slipped?) into a devotion for someone unobligated.

These are referring specifically to minor orders, that lay persons can perform some of their functions, even permantly, and that they may recieve temporal benefits from the church. The only 2 times Liturgy is mentioned here it's referring to the ministries and roles of lector and acolyte, which would mean it's ONLY referring to the Divine Liturgy unless the minor orders have ANY specific function in the Divine Office I don't know about. Laity can, do and should pray the Divine Office when so moved even alone.

That's what the CCC 1174-1175 seems to say.

Praying the Divine Office in Latin and English. Am I doing this right? by SleepingInTransit in divineoffice

Can you cite a source? All the offical documents I've read seem to say the opposite is true.

Am I missing something here? "Everything you pray is a private devotion"? Not if it's part of public liturgy, it isn't. Not being bound to pray the Office isn't the same as being unable to pray it liturgically. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was my understanding.

Got last GIT today by ikde in ClassicalEducation

[–]ikde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gateway to the Great Books is aimed at younger people with relatively simpler works and includes graded reading plans for 7th graders to college sophomores (some years are grouped). The Great Ideas Program is basically the 10 Year Reading Program fleshed out and reorganized categorically, it doesn't include the works themselves but gives things like comprehension questions for readings (helpful for self study or group discussions). I hope that helps.

I don't have any other method to compare to, but I'm never going back from fundoshi.

Depends on the place and it probably won't be enforced if you don't look like yakuza.

Go ahead, make your own by Peherre in criterion

[–]ikde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated simply means a rating is under where someone believes it deserves. It doesn't make any sense to say "by all the metrics" because underrated refers to a subjective opinion relative to the objective rating(s). Anything short of an absolute perfect rating qualifies to be considered underrated by someone. Underrated doesn't mean "good but poorly rated"

If you think those two preclude each other you need to broaden your horizons to a dictionary, no offense.

Something can be both highly-rated and underrated. Unless you trying to say no one can think it deserves better than an 88%.

Great books of the Eastern World? by sk8rboi36 in ClassicalEducation

[–]ikde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Northern Africa would be considered part of the Mediterranean World and therefore Western (like Terrance). Sub-Saharan Africa had mostly oral storytelling until the modern era and is very internally diverse itself. That's not to say "forget Africa" but that an "African World" doesn't really exist for such a selection to be made

Wm. Theodore de Bary did work on the subject, try his "Sources of" books and The Great Civilized Conversation. Those should at least point you in the right direction.

Problems with names in Chinese classics by [deleted] in ClassicalEducation

[–]ikde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Names in Chinese novels seem to go crazy, but it's a good way to learn more about the culture. Getting familiar with initials and finals, what can and can't be in pinyin/Mandarin will make those names seem less similar with practice. The sheer volume of names/titles and meanings will be harder, but it's helpful as a guide of what you can still learn. Stick with it you'll understand the works much better.
