A Different Worldview and a Different History; Catholicism and Orthodoxy
The Roman Catholic Scholastic thinker Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) wrote in his massive work, the Summa Theologiae, that theology is the "highest scientia" since a high degree of rationality is required to understand the most important and complex philosophical concepts about God. The universities that developed during the Scholastic period in the Christian West were intended to teach students how to deal in this "science" of theology through rigorous conceptual analysis. Theology was considered to be the preeminent Scholastic endeavor, a good thing in many ways. Yet, as a result of the high regard for logic and rationality in medieval Roman Catholicism, those who studied and taught (the "doctors") came to be more highly regarded than the monks and nuns (the "religious") whose main vocation was to pray.
Theology began to be expounded by scholars outside of the context of prayer, pastoral ministry, and liturgical worship. Pelikan traces this specific change in the West through the changing job description of the theologian. He notes that, between AD 100 and 600, most theologians were bishops; from 600 to 1500 in the West they were monks. But after 1500, Western theologians are university professors: "Gregory I, who died in 604, was a bishop who had been a monk; Martin Luther, who died in 1546, was a monk who became a university professor. Each of these lifestyles has left its mark on the job description of a theologian." After the sixteenth century in the West, the task of theology increasingly became separated from its earlier moorings to the worship of the community and the spiritual disciplines.
From an Eastern Orthodox point of view, knowledge of God comes only from an encounter with the God who has revealed Himself: "What may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them" (Rom. 1:19). Thus, theology can never be separated from prayer, worship, and contemplation of the Holy Trinity. Metropolitan Ware affirms that all true Orthodox theology is mystical: "Just as mysticism divorced from theology becomes subjective and heretical, so theology, when it is not mystical, degenerates into an arid scholasticism, 'academic' in the bad sense of the word." That is to say, Orthodox mystical theology guards against either unacceptable extreme: subjective and heretical, or arid and academic.

i read somewhere that according to a traditional irish belief if you dream something three times it will come true. if that’s so, most of us are going to show up to our workplace naked one day, we should all watch the lotto before bed but never horror movies, and tom hiddleston is going to have a sex life far busier than he ever anticipated. as for me, i’m hoping that all those dreams of flying away to neverland will soon pay off. any time now, peter

Merry NSC-MAS, my wicked chosen ones
Did y’all actually presume the council would shut down for business. TISK TISK, there obviously is need for some discipline among our campus- as quite a few students have taken it upon themselves to ditch and dash. You will be dealt with, soon. Very. Soon. The duo council wishes this family a wonderful, merry evening. Tis’ the holiday season, now let’s dust off our pitchforks and set ablaze this Christmas night.

“There is a copy of the NES game Golf in the firmware of every Switch system”
Me: Oh haha, what a weird thing, probably some remnant from the debugging process -
“Since that was a game that Satoru Iwata programmed himself, this could have been intended as a way of saying that Iwata is spiritually a part of every Switch and is watching over and protecting every system.”
Me:
POC keep perpetuating the same messages to their children:
"It's not abuse, it's just culture"
"It's not dangerous, it's just culture"
"It's not grooming, it's just culture"
"It's not homophobic, it's just culture"
Yet they still beg for progress. They only hate outdated conservative values if it doesn't directly benefit them.
"Cis woman" isn't a real term, the government shouldn't have more power over the education of our children than the family, communism has never worked and will never work, "birthing person, uterus owner, menstruating person" or any other laughable term is actually harmful to women, men presenting as women in women sports is just a big no because they are not women, the traditional family is constantly under attack, the left is cringy, abortion is not healthcare, feminism is no longer what it was when it started, patriotism is good and white people hating white people is like shooting your own foot.
And I am not afraid to say it. Call me whatever you want
