Pope Francis Gets Boost from Leading Cultural Marxist Publisher!

Last updated on: August 12, 2015 at 1:28 pm By Artur Rosman

If you’re one of those people who wastes time railing against entities belonging to a vague entity known as Cultural Marxism, which is supposedly taking over higher education, then you might have something to worry about. Even though I spent a good decade or so in a Public Ivy, the University of Washington, earning my doctorate in Comparative Literature, I can honestly say I never saw this tribe conspiring to corrupt the youth of Seattle. You might be too busy... Read more

U Mad (Papist) Bro?

Last updated on: August 9, 2015 at 11:09 am By Artur Rosman

Even though he didn’t invent it, the Seattle Seahawks Stanford-educated cornerback, Richard Sherman, smartly pwnd the phrased “U Mad Bro?” against Tom Brady. Unfortunately Brady learned his lesson and didn’t throw at Sherman during the Superbowl. I know, it was a little bit deflating. However, in Catholic circles there’s something new on the rise. It’s a webpage called The Mad Papist. Here’s how it bills itself: Welcome to The Mad Papist: mankind’s #1 source for Catholic and traditionalist merchandise. We make... Read more

The Subjectivism of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 12:45 am By Artur Rosman

Yesterday we placed the ancient philosophical analogue, not to be confused with an “equivalent,” of modern science in its proper historical perspective with the help of Peter Harrison’s The Territories of Science and Religion. Natural science in the ancient Greek and Roman sense was not really science in our modern understanding, nor was it primarily concerned with the natural world. Science was always conceived and practiced in the context of what was called the art of living or philosophy as... Read more

The Mythical Origins of Science

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 6:40 am By Artur Rosman

One of the pillars of Enlightenment, scientific, and New Atheist (not to be confused with the other two) lore is the tall tale that Christianity came like some prehistoric meteor and wiped out the advanced science of the ancients. Hypatia of Alexandria is frequently used in this narrative as martyred by bloodthirsty ancient Christian fundamentalists. On this story, the fog of ignorance spread by the Roman Catholic Bible Belt’s dogma-machine was so powerful that it took science over a millennium... Read more

John Milbank: The Eastward Movement of Western Theology

Last updated on: July 28, 2015 at 8:10 pm By Artur Rosman

What John Milbank, author of Theology and Social Theory, calls the Eastward movement of Western theology in the video below is mostly a marker of where Western theology stands with regard to its own traditions. Of these traditions (in the plural) many continue an unbroken engagement with the Greek Fathers. After all, quite a few of those theologians are Doctors of the (Western) Church. This is to be contrasted with a pure and simple movement toward manifesting Eastern Orthodox forms... Read more
