so the fight against heresy these days is specifically heterosexual. got it.
“ Beans” must be one of those who subscribes to Playboy “for the interviews”… yep
Many of his tweets are incomprehensible. He lives in an ivory tower at Villanova.
Glad to know that Beans is more than cursory acquainted with Playboy to make such a comparison. Also, ya sure you read those magazines for the “interviews”.
But seriously, this type of “bloodsport” reaches back to antiquity. Which is pointing out falsehoods and coupling that to a derisive comparison to underscore the point. The bible is filled with it. Jesus personally uses it frequently (brood of vipers, whitewashed tombs, sons of the devil, etc.).
If you find that you are getting called out on presenting falsehoods as facts, reflect on what is being said. If your interlocutors are correct, stop what you are doing. If they are not correct, grow thicker skin. Don’t complain about your fee-fees and suggest that people shouldn’t vigorously pursue truth and wisdom.
That’s funny, I always picked Faggioli’s theology to be more of a Victoria’s Secret kind of guy….
Beans is so spectacularly ignorant of Church teaching (as proven by the numerous times he got p@wned on Twitter) I shudder to think what his students are learning under his tutelage.
So sad. He admits he reads/ read Playboy. I hope he goes to confession.
A couple of things I would like to see:
1) Some claim they’re “religious not spiritual” instead of the trite “spiritual not religious.”
2) Someone admit they read Playboy just for the pictures and not the articles.
Interesting analogy, since Playboy in its heyday in the 1960’s was at the forefront of the sexual revolution so in a sense they were the ones pushing heresy against the prevailing social order. A better comparison for Playboy might be Amerika magazine or the Fishwarp.
