@devaraj227 @xenocosmography Keep the Calvin, ignore the papist nonsense here (marbles getting fried elsewhere in the cold shadow war).

‘[…] What Malachi says about John the Baptist applies to all the ministers of Christ. […] But in *consequence of the malice of wicked men* [‘normalisation’ of evil], those who were formerly combined no sooner hear the voice of Christ than they separate into opposite parties [competition], and proceed so far as to break up the ties of relationship. In a word, Christ foretells that the world will come to such a state of confusion, that all the bonds of kindred will be treated with indifference, and humanity will be no longer regarded. [BUT ALSO:] On the contrary, every lawful bond of union is confirmed by unity of faith [see ‘peace’ above - culture].’
[on normalisation above: that’s IRL cultures, against schismogenesis. Containment. Asylum. Unsurprisingly found in practices throughout the liturgical calendar, monasticism, or indeed the sacraments: imagine a marriage based on competition…]

Pope arguing directly with Jesus (Matthew 10:34). x.com/Pontifex/statu…
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

... Surrender your name to the great playwright, however you think of it (because how you think of it doesn't matter).

At some point in our middle years, more often than not, each of us gets as close as we are going to get to expressing whatever unique variation on the theme of human existence our life is meant to embody.
The years before then lead up to that near approach; the years afterward are a struggle to keep expressing that theme in the teeth of the hard realization that there are goals we will never achieve and griefs we cannot avoid, before the final phases bring down the curtain.
Each civilization is subject to the same law. At the heart of each great culture is a vision of human possibility. The rise of the civilization is the process by which that vision is slowly and painfully discovered and understood. The zenith comes when the vision is partly but never wholly achieved. Then comes the struggle to hang on, first to the vision itself, then to the institutions and activities that once embodied it, and then finally to the bare minimum of functional social organization, before the last phases of the Wheel—Hunchback and Saint and Fool—rise up to wipe it all away.

The real horror was pre-ordained long before Calvin. x.com/AGDugin/status…

The main source of the decisive decline of the West is the Calvinism. The Anglican and Lutheran Churches as well as mystical tendency from Bohme to Quakers and anabaptists were somehow in the realm of Christianity (more or less). The real horror starts with Calvin.

@devaraj227 @avicennaquinas @xenocosmography Honestly, this whole commentary is fairly interesting (no point just screenshotting/quoting the whole thing): ccel.org/ccel/calvin/ca…
He’s wriggling, certainly.

Perhaps a shift back to a limited ‘foenus’.
Hmm, no: ‘Thus usury, since the word is equivalent to foenus, is but a covering for an odious practice, as if such glosses would deliver us in God’s judgment, where nothing but absolute integrity can avail for our defense. There was almost a similar mode of subterfuge among the Israelites. The name “neschec,” which is derived from biting, sounded badly; since then no one chose to be likened to a hungry dog, who fed himself by biting others, some escape from the reproach was sought; and they called whatever gain they received beyond the capital, תרבית, therbith, as being an increase. But God, in order to prevent such deception, unites the two words, (Leviticus 25:36,) and condemns the increase as well as the biting. For, where He complains of their unjust modes of spoiling and thieving in Ezekiel, and uses both words as He does here by Moses, there is no doubt but that He designedly cuts off their empty excuses. (Ezekiel 18:13.)’

CALVIN - Phil 2.6. Kenosis.
‘Christ’s humility consisted in his abasing himself from the highest pinnacle of glory to the lowest ignominy: our humility consists in refraining from exalting ourselves by a false estimation. He gave up his right: all that is required of us is that we do not assume to ourselves more than we ought. […] Since, then, the Son of God descended from so great a height, how unreasonable that we, who are nothing, should be lifted up with pride!’

@covenaut So that was the first runaway feedback loop (demon) out of the box. Kinda tricky to get that back in.

The biggest problem is that they have not cut off their fetish for an episcopacy.

"The biggest problem of the material world in the West is that people have cut off their connection to God, that is why they fall into spiritual decline." — Martyr Sayed Ali Khamenei

Calvinism - specifically Presbyterianism - does not end with Sarah Mullally in the House of Lords, Alex.
