Conversio Project・01 - The Collegial Ecclesiology of St. Cyprian (with Mystagogue & Vinco)
มุมมอง 8093 ปีที่แล้ว
In this first episode of Conversio, we explore St. Cyprian of Carthage, his life, ecclesiology and how that ecclesiology was developed and modified by subsequent Church history, up to Lumen Gentium, and by Cyprian himself in his own life as he responded to the problems his own bishopric faced.

    Well, this was interesting until it got surprisingly hateful and political out of nowhere? Saying that LGBT+ people are disordered, that their identity is a consequence of atheism and obsession, and that trans people are mutilating their bodies... was all that really necessary to explain Plotin's philosophy?

    1:20:00 This makes me wonder: How does tragedy play into this? Is enjoying Hamlet fail an ugly act? Is pitying the terror of Oedipus, compliance with disorder? Or does it point at a unity inside the discord of flawed people and tragic events?

    Interesting. The plotinian concept of Beauty/Eros bears I feel alot of resemblance to the Sublime which Kant differentiated from just merely pleasant beauty. Tho romanticism kind of overloads the sensual aspect of it obviously.

    Man writes book about decline of civility and morality in society. Draws parallel with history and encourages a similar solution. Another man, inspired by the writings of the first, takes the proposed solution and runs with it. First man is upset. Says “That’s not what I meant.” No Alasdair. That’s EXACTLY what you meant. The back pedaling is Virtue Signaling to the WOKE. Nothing more.

    'New monasticism' is not what Dreher is proposing, and certainly not withdrawing or refusing to engage with the world. It would be nice if people actually availed themselves to read him

    • @tonguemybumb
      @tonguemybumb 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly. The Benedict option does not preach isolationism and Rod Dreyer is by no means beholden to liberal conservatism.

    • @kellymadden2873
      @kellymadden2873 ปีที่แล้ว

      I disagree. MacIntyre rightly points out that the OLD monasticism was not about withdrawal. And Dreher thinks that a similarly-engaged monasticism would be one option, among many. Sadly, however, Dreher was his own worst enemy on this question, because sometimes he clearly did indeed suggest a withdrawal, of sorts-"tactical," we might call it, making politics and power institutions secondary-while also blogging himself about current politics and culture EVERY DAY. But, yes, the many examples in the book, for anyone who has read it, are much like what MacIntyre gives here. On the third hand, Dreher does edit an explicitly conservative journal, and is anything but a systematic or philosophical thinker. So there's that against him, for MacIntyre.

      @@kellymadden2873 Benedict of Nursia became a monk after leaving the city of Rome, to avoid its immorality. That monasteries became actively engaged in society later on doesn't mean that their position as a refuge for those who want to live Christian lives wasn't important, or wasn't necessary to gain influence to begin with. What Dreher is suggesting is only that - a refuge has to be built, which can allow us to resist the pagan world order. Exactly what Alasdair describes here!

    "Paul cries out in a strong and lofty voice: 'But far be it from me to glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world.' But a virgin in the Church glories in the appearance of her flesh and in the beauty of her body! Paul says, moreover: 'And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences.' But she who professes to have renounced the concupiscences and vices of the flesh is found in those very things which she has renounced!" - St Cyprian Dress of Virgins.
