@christwhatacoward Magna Cum Laude = 2nd to Summa C. L. - still good.

The Deconstructionism of modern Pseudo-Humanities (esp. Sociological fields) make them easy-A disciplines (I know from experience). Obama majored in the KING of these (Political Science). Also, an agressive Affirmative Action...

@2002lees The term is now used more generally to describe anybody, who enthusiastically supports the state of Israel and the right of the Jewish people to be there. But, you're so clever you probably knew that, and were just stooping low to score a political hit, right?

@HPhenomenal I bet you oppose freedom, too. I bet you oppose NAMBLA and its aspirations; I bet you oppose freedom to murder or rape.

See? We all oppose allowing people certain freedoms, because we believe freedom has moral context and limitation. Freedom only exists where the individual has a...

@wimahlers The Medieval Warm Period is uncontroversial; every progressive, public university teaches it matter of factly. My university (OSU) taught me about it in a Med. Studies course; you can't understand Medieval history otherwise.

1) Modern science can learn Med. temperatures from extant...

A much better tempo than another, lightning-fast version on Youtube...

Your tempo kept up a nice, forward-marching pace... but, also allowed the music to be savoured. Good job.

@ehunter2 Exactly. It takes an exceptionally introspective and strong personality to deal with, as you rightly say, DEEP-seated childhood trauma. In bitter irony, homosexuality corrodes these required traits (confidence, resilience, will, etc.)

Ex-gay critics ignore, how success rates for "conv...

And that brings one to the final point: "science" and scientific opinion.

Science is today's religion. Clerics once told people what to believe. Now, men in labcoats do. In both cases, the average man hasn't the learning to argue. This power often corrupted the clerics; might it corrupt modern ...

@chelisiete Pero, como se puede separar conceptos de la belleza, que fluye de ellos? El buen arbol da fructos buenos; si veamos belleza en el fructo de la inspiracion religiosa, ha de ser algo bueno en la religion si misma. Aun si una persona mala creara la musica buena, la musica sera buena, po...

@LiturgicalChants - You're bent out of shape for nothing. At 1:32 the video skips past the Psalmody. It resumes near the end of the Responsorium Prolixum, whereupon the hymn begins in its proper place.

Christ excoriated legalism more harshly than every other sin. "You tithe mint and anise and c...

@seonidh ... I think adultery and abandonment were almost amongst her crimes!

Our age may think lightly of family bonds and their permanence and importance. But when mankind was a bit more sane, abandoning your spouse to run off with wandering criminals was considered a fairly serious crime! Th...

@LocusIoannis Ha! Well, I would say that Durufle used a legitimate compositional technique... a theme and variations, squared.

I did read the title. I meant "second half" of the video; I "guessed" that he composed it, because the exaggerated claim for the first piece sowed doubt.

My critique ...

@Callixtinus Anyway, in continuation of that initial thought, I would point out that Orthodox hesychasm is very present in the Pre-Schism West, and elements of apophaticism perdure even past the Schism... including the Jesus Prayer.

In the Legenda Aurea, Jacobus de Voragine (d.1298) tells us how...
