Wow! what a masterpiece. This just elevated what my lecturer said.

*"An entry wound in the throat" ~Dr. Perry* *"A huge wound in the rear right of Kennedy's head.'"~ Dr. McClelland* *Certainly an exit wound at the right occipital-parietal, indicating a shot from the front.* *Now wasn't Oswald supposed to be firing from the rear? Yes from a six floor window.*

Today I read Canto 5.

Great explanation of Purgatorio. I am a non-Catholic Christian reader, so now I will look at Purgatory like life here on earth, following Christ as pilgrims, knowing Heaven awaits.

Who decided to have an open top limousine in Autumn/fall?

"Our service for others should be for God alone and not for what we can get out of it." Spot on

She does a great take on seduction & flattery. Parts made my skin crawl. YIKES!!

At first I was bummed that this -wasn't- presented by N.T. Wright ~ but Dr. Moore speaks more sense than Wright is right!

Thumbs-up merely for your pronunciation of "Beatrice" 👍 And a second thumbs-up for a brilliant exegesis!

WOW! Very exciting. Another great take. Thanks

Shortly, after the Berlin Wall went up I had my first real affair. The fact that my lover was Russian was no coincidence: like everything most memorable or pleasurable in my early life I owed my discovery of women to communism. It sounds to me that you have second doubts about your choices in life, but your politics reach the anarchy, its trial and error-cool.21-234 George v. McDonough (06/15/2022)

“He is not Dis” well actually…

I had no idea that diss tracks can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages 😂 I’ll have to go on a tenzone deep dive now

What did alchemy mean in this context? Since it’s not a real thing, what metals were being produced and what were alchemists producing in general that made people so afraid?

I appreciate the video being 13:33 - angel numbers! Great discussion. This made it easier for me to absorb Canto 17.

Thank you for this video. It is a pleasure of life to hear thoughtful people reflect on great works of art. I am surprised by your final conclusion, namely that you were not persuaded by the logic of Aquinas. Both positions on Solomon are reconcilable when we pay attention to the details of the descriptions. Could it be that you didn't pay enough attention to the details?

I'm sure you've got the sense to know that Dante's "love" for Beatrice was not healthy *or* Christian. Especially if you've read "The New Life."

It is a sort of non euclidean picture ...

Light, music, dance, conversation.. sounds like hell to me

This 100 Days program allowed me to access new layers of this master work, and for that I'll be forever in debt with the people who put it toghether. Sometimes it is challenging to figure out these imaginatives and philosphical landscapes in English (not in Portuguese), but it is also an opportunity to understand it even more broadly, since different languages often give us different perspectives in translation (not an Italian reader here)...

ppl are lost on what hades is for. the wicked is not what you think.

not all suicides are the same. so to say this happens to you when you kill yourself is heavily flawed. suicide from demonic oppression, suicide from just pure sadness, suicide from a daimon, and suicide through wickedness to transcend like in the matrix movie are all different. and to think your soul has one single outcome for all of these is silly and dead ass wrong. Neo in the matrix commits suicide through a blood ritual aka the red pill. then he is taken to the land of the dead through a mirror where he becomes a god (small g) aka a skinwalker aka shapeshifter aka a grey archon "alien" That's why we see the entire Morpheus crew wearing those sunglasses that look like grey archon eyes. there's a reason why you see a grey "alien" in the newer indiana jones movie. theres a reason why war of the worlds shows the aliens coming from here, not outer space. there are no ancient writings anywhere that say they come from another planet. to come from the heavens is a different realm. ppl just made the assumption that if they came down from the sky, then they must have come from deep outer space. can you really blame society for thinking that tho? evil demonic entities prey on that assumption and have lied to ppl all throughout history saying they came from this or that star system. all lies. astrology is a fallen angel deception. this is why so many cultures knew about the other "planets" in our "solar system." they came down to deceive man all across the earth.

Please someone reply, could it be that the word of God reuniting human nature to himself 2:30 could even mean the bible was designed to reunite us

Rest in eternal peace President John Fitzgerald Kennedy 😢❤😢

Crystal clear

This is one of the best lectures in this series and one of the most applicable to our current times. Thank you! Great job, Dr. Miner!

That was so insightful!

This series is so wonderful. We need a 100 Days of Milton next!

Thank you this exquisite commentary that helped me see it in a more meaningful way. Your insight was so good. I will gnaw on this until it’s marrow is fully opened. Delicious!

One comment one this canto commentary surprises me. Thank you Dr. Phil for offering a deep and broad series of thoughts on the subjects covered in this canto. I found your analysis helpful and personal as I look at how often my own life includes and excludes the list of spiritual and communal practice you mentioned. I too long for the work of the Spirit to purify me with a poetic and firery Godward life and a communal life marked by a holy kiss. Profound glories to prayerfully and purposefully aim towards.

Thank you.

So good, thank you.

Nope. Modern feminism should have remained, silently, in the professor’s brain. That comment really lowered the level of this lecture, and skewed everything else. Of course “we can infer someone’s personality from their appearance” if we’re looking at an allegory !! 🙄🙄

We now know that there were more bullets found at Parkland Hospital than were fired from the Oswald Rifle. They are well-documented and easy to confirm. They are, #1) The Paul Landis Bullet found in the JFK Limo and placed on the JFK Table and later confirmed by Nurse Phyliss Hall 10 years ago in a video from Parkland. #2) The so-called magic bullet (#399) found on a stretcher, between Trauma Room #1 and #2. #3) The Doctor Shaw bullet believed early on to be the bullet magic bullet, however, the good doctor made it clear in his presser to the media after 4 hours of surgery that the bullet WAS STILL IN HIS LEG making it impossible to also be the "Magic Bullet" #4) The Nurse Wright bullet. Found by her husband (a Parkland Custodian) and after being advised by her Superior and D.A. Wade to give it to the FBI, (her words) she decided instead to TAKE IT HOME. She later revealed the bullet in a Mark Oakes Video from her home and it can still be viewed on the Vince Palamara Channel. 4 bullets mean a minimum of 2 shooters. End of Story and end of the fraudulent WR nonsense.

The remark about Francis did not age so well. His doctrine is becoming very divisive.

JOB 1:6 One day, when the son's of God came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, "Whence do you come?" Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "From roaming the earth and patrolling it." I Was told, the Devil does not do evil, people do evil. The devil can't make anyone do anything, he can only provide a temptation to do evil. If a person takes the bate, and does evil by one's own will to do so, then the Devil can judge that person accordingly. Punishment comes when the Devil comes for them after death. On that day every knee will bend every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord The devil is not a practitioner of evil. He is a judge of people who are a practitioner evil. When a person says, "The Devil made me do it!" as an excuse of doing something wrong, they can only be lying. And by that, compounding their sins with that lie. See, the Devil is said to be a servant of God. But he holds the sin of pride. Pride enough to question God's judgement of giving humanity both a soul and free will. Stating that humanity is not worthy of such gifts. God has in turn, given the Devil the task of finding those that may misuse the gifts God has given. And the freedom to punish them after. Nobody likes to be judged for any wrong doings. Humanity is imperfect, and easy to sway via our emotions. So humanity see the Devil as evil, due to being the enemy of those who do bad things. - All, or even none of this could be true. - But if it is true, and calling out the Devil as a scapegoat for the many Evils man makes, we may never truly get to the root of the problem, and in turn, never be able to fix it. Can we keep getting away with blaming the Devil for the many wrongs made by humanity? Will humans never own up to our own potential for doing evil via the free will to do so? Will we continue to learn nothing about the truth of human nature? The good and the bad sides of it? - To me, we are our own worst nightmare. Perhaps, someday, we may wake up and be enlightened to what we are doing to ourselves, and perhaps find a way to grow up as a people, and stop blaming dark shadows for what we do, and instead do better. Is that not what having free will is about? For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned.. and how could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you? But you spare all things, because they are yours, O Lord and lover of souls, For your imperishable spirit is in all things! Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little, warn them, and remind them of the sins they are committing, that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you, O LORD! He tests the good and the bad, He hates those who love violence For He loves the just and just deeds; the upright shall see his face. When God, in the beginning, created man, he made him subject to his own free choice. If you choose you can keep the commandment; it is loyalty to do his will. There is set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him. Immense is the wisdom of the LORD; he is mighty in power and all-seeing. The eyes of God see all he has made; he understands man's every deed. No man does he command to sin, to none does he give strength for lies.. O Jesus I know not if your real come ... come live in me Save Me

How amazing these 100 days of dante.... how beautiful. Obviously I've subscribed

Perfect

Dr. Heyne's exuberance while explaining this Canto is exciting, isn't it?

Outstanding!!

Excelente introdução!

Thank you for pointing out the contrast of this event to Isaiah 52:7 and Romans 10:15.

I don’t want to be uncharitable, but if anyone is using the comments section to ascertain future choices of commentary, I’m voicing my disappointment in this one.

By Jove! This commentary was 🔥! I couldn’t get enough of the professor’s illuminated and passionate insights. Well done 👏👏👏

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk - Dr. Amanda Clark

I’m with the others who dismissed this video as a poli-sci 101 lecture disguised as literary commentary. Also, the professor’s intelligence is clear but her presentation is amateurish and unprofessional. She lacks the wit, charm, and buoyancy nearly all of the speakers exhibited in their discussions. Furthermore, we signed up to hear about Dante’s Divine Comedy. What we got was a thoughtful, yet sophomoric talk about current sociology, filled with tired buzzwords and pedantic catch phrases. Where we all see beauty, poetry, and soul, the professor sees code-switching and culture wars. Thanks, but no thanks.

Feminist trash: So smug as to pat Dante on the head and wave a finger at him. Trash. Trash. Trash. Shame on you

In a cruel twist of fate, Dr. Beary was killed when she was struck by a vehicle (August 2023). Ironic that in this very presentation, the good Dr. discussed those in Purgatorio whom had died suddenly and unexpectedly. :(

"Dr. Alina Beary, professor of Torrey Honors College at Biola University, died after a tragic pedestrian-vehicle accident, university leaders announced Thursday, August 31, 2023... Beary is survived by her husband and young twin daughters." RIP
