So I haven’t posted here in like 2 years. I’m a priest now! In a great parish in a great town! Life is quite good.

two tweets from @rosalarian that read:

“the queerest thing you could ever say is “i don’t feel queer enough” because literally every queer person i know has said that at some point”

“just by reciting the words “i don’t feel queer enough,” you gain 1200XP (queer experience points) and at level 3 you can cast magic missile.”

There’s an operative gap in intellectual motivation between people who care primarily about ‘being right’ versus those individuals who care about 'what is true’. Namely, that the intrusion of individual ego undermines an objective pursuit of knowledge and thus prevents rational observation, reasoned conclusions, and - worst of all - civil discourse. A person who legitimately cares about what is true will be vigilant against subjective bias, both their own and what may be extant in their studies and observations. Any convictions they hold will be both malleable and ironclad: without injecting ego into their pursuits, they will grasp only what seems the most true and readily discard what is shown to be false, suffering no spiritual or moral injury to themselves or their psyche. A person who merely cares about being right will seek out only such information as validates their presupposed beliefs, rejecting offhand what challenges them, no matter how legitimate a challenge might be. Having injected ego into a pursuit of knowledge, their convictions will be brittle and unchanging: since their self-image and sense of satisfaction are intrinsically bound to holding “the right” beliefs, they will be reluctant to change them or even become outraged at being questioned.

you’ve angered the gregorian chant fandom for the last time.

I think more and more people are aware that you acquire faith not by a great exercise of the will, not by a great exercise of the intellect, but by something that happens to your imagination when it’s turned upside down.

And I may rage and cry at the frustrations of my calling and yet know beyond doubt…that while this may be dreadful, anything else would be worse–an invention, a game. Here at least, whatever the cost, I am in the truth…Vocation is, you could say, what’s left when all the games have stopped. It’s that elusive residue that we are here to discover, and to help one another discover.

These two are singing “O magnum mysterium” by Tomas Luis De Victoria! It’s a very pretty piece from the renaissance that has a lot of different voice parts singing totally different melodies that mesh well together. I sung tenor for a song of his as well. It sounds ethereal in cathedrals and bathrooms alike my opinion. Its the room’s ability to bounce sound and make it resonate, giving it it’s “mermaid siren” like quality. It sounds great. Congratulations, you both! Sounds very pretty and seems like a fun time to clean with things like that.
