“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

So are you saying they had COVID 2270 years ago!? If only the fool had used a mask made out of papyrus! Then he would have been safe!
I’m convinced we live in what may come to be known as the Dumb Ages. Many an archeologist, a thousand years from now, will puzzle and slap his head with exasperation as they try to piece together the insanity of what passes for modern culture. May we strive to regain a level of culture and humanity the author of this ancient letter enjoyed!
WVC: They had social distancing back then- one spear length apart at all times or else the next day your the main attraction at the Coliseum. (Ancient Rome had the Antonine Plague which probably contributed to Rome’s decline and later the Justinian Plague.)
Amusing point you make about the Dumb Ages. Archaeologists in 3021 A.D. excavating the ruins of “Sin Frincisco” will likely proceed with great caution when they brush aside the shrubbery concealing an ancient temple of the “Antifawymxn” and find leering idols honoring gods and goddesses such as “Karlmarx,” “Margaretsanger” and especially the “Kathygriffin” which holds some sort of severed head in one of her six claws. The now puzzled archaeologists will scratch their heads as they explore the sacrificial burn pits and dig up the remains of “Catinhat” children’s books, “Auntjemima” syrup bottles and “Landolakes” butter cartons. Truly, they say to each other as they pause and drink from their canteens, these ancient amulets must have possessed powerful juju and were confiscated from the serfs for their own protection, then ordered burned in pits by the Glorious Empress “Ka-malo.”
Anyway, here’s something from a couple days ago in CWR about archaeology and the New Testament:
“Archaeology helps us in two ways. First of all, it reveals what Fr. Bargil Pixner, the great Benedictine New testament archaeologist, called “the fifth gospel”: The stage which was prepared for the coming of Christ, the world in which He incarnated, the mindset of the audience he spoke to and the places where it all happened. It gives us a deeper understanding of his parables, of the people’s reaction, of the events and the personalities mentioned in the gospels. And second, it helps to verify the gospels. When an author obviously knows what he is talking about, when he describes topography, culture, traditions and people just as they were, you can trust him.”
