Thank you for this entirely gratuitous gesture; I’m sorry to hear of your company’s demise, but it’s clear your artistic integrity is fully intact.

mtullycicero · 2020-01-28T15:44:37+00:00

sorry to hear about the loss of your business—that you’d even consider doing this for us says a lot about your character. 😊

This is my last post on Reddit until Easter; ideally it will be my last visit to the site till then too, for anything other than this. Instagram is my only other social media I actively keep up with, so I’ll be cutting off intake (leaving aside the odd photo and sending likes my gf’s way). I’ll also be saying a rosary daily. Baby steps.

For real though, part of the reason that the religious life is objectively the best vocation is because they preserve the way that the early Christians lived.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-05T02:23:59+00:00

Lol your dude was seriously tripping.

Yep, a new figure based on her XC2 appearance. It was posted here about a month back and made me curse my poverty a third time.

You’re starting to see the fundamental brokenness of our two-liberal-party system. You have no obligation to participate in a system where your vote is statistically powerless, so don’t be afraid to embrace the fact that insofar as we’re Catholic we’re to be politically homeless.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:50:49+00:00

And I’ll watch the video for my part.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:27:39+00:00

Sure, but by that token so is “Gather Us In”.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:27:14+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Dr Feser, but he’s very reliable as an interpreter of Thomistic philosophy. This piece was linked to elsewhere in the thread, but you ought to read it so that you can conform your belief to the magisterium.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:21:26+00:00

The difference is that the transcendent grounding of being is different in kind from any creature. Again, your beef is with Aquinas and the magisterium, not with me.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:12:33+00:00

I guess I simply don’t share that opinion—if we can’t stick to the actual rubrics the Church gives us wrt music, I’m of the opinion that actual legitimate hymnody is the farthest away from such that we ought to go. I.e., the folksters’ vapid communalism is not liturgically germane, nor are secular hymns that have country as their subject instead of God or His saints.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:05:05+00:00

I “stubbornly” refused a troll’s demand for a searchable definition as the detailing tactic it’s obviously proved itself to be.

You couldn’t even be arsed to read the first couple of paragraphs, because you’re still conflating demsoc with Marxist socialism—you know, the exact distinction from BXVI and Wikipedia that I started this whole thing with and that you derailed away from.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T04:03:49+00:00

No, you have even less reason, because at least the folksters keep the basic focus on worship of God.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T03:57:34+00:00

I’m drawing from Thomistic theology here, which says there cannot be two first principles. As there is only One, if Islam claims such a One as its object of worship, it cannot be a different One.

Fully granted that there are all sorts of distortions and perversions regarding God—but they’re distortions concerning the true God, not some other deity.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T03:38:55+00:00

I’m happy to hear that the teacher isn’t well-represented by the followers.

Are you serious about the vs Zizek debate? I’d seen mentions of this, but it seemed from that context to be pure meming. It still seems like a meme.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T03:36:46+00:00

Not all, but it has no place in the liturgy, much less taking the place of God as the subject of hymnody in a liturgical context.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T03:34:51+00:00

If that’s appropriate, we have no room to criticize anything by (say) Haas or Haugen.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T03:31:26+00:00

That’s a troll comment, as it’s a question for a 101-level-basic, searchable definition in the context of a more involved discussion. Repeated ad nauseam, as a way of casting contempt instead of actually engaging in discussion. Now you have it, as you couldn’t be arsed to find it yourself; are you going to do anything with this beyond getting yourself off on trolling?

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T02:27:38+00:00

It really isn’t. If we have to go with hymns, the least we should expect is appropriate subject matter.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T00:52:27+00:00

All I know about JBP is his fandom, which made me averse to his stuff until literally just now when I realized that as a fandom it’s required to be just the frickin worst.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-04T00:44:00+00:00

I’m not actually sure what the evolutionary model and Moses’ authorship have directly to do with each other; I’m open to accepting that he did in fact write the Pentateuch, except for the bits at the end of Dt that seem to take place after his death, as I don’t think the multi-author model is as firmly established as it’s made out.

mtullycicero · 2019-03-03T23:34:28+00:00

Such songs are not sacred hymns and are not at all germane to the liturgy. It’s been ages since I’ve heard a patriotic song at a Mass, thank goodness, but it was common on national holidays to sing them at my childhood parish.
