>>24771838>>footnotes on the back LMAOThey're called Endnotes and they're the work of Satan.

>>24771853Is this supposed to reflect badly upon him
>>24771853>>24771856>>24772003WHY ARE YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LACK OF FOOTNOTES AND THE PRESENCE OF ENDNOTES
>>24772003Faggot
>>24772006The Christian tradition owes a lot to faggots
>>24771838I prefer endnotes as long as the font size is about the same size and the main text, reading minuscule footnotes is usually not preferable.
>>24772699*as the main text
Yeah reading a hero of our time with the billion endnotes was not fun. I dont even know why I bothered to keep flipping
>>24771838kindle master race wins again
Endnotes are subhuman behaviour. Just fucking edit notes as footnotes.
reading the left side of paperbacks with this many pages is always fucking annoying
I just don't read the notes at all at when they do this.
>>247718381200 pages is too long, but western publishers are averse to just releasing works in multiple volumes
>>24772008Is homosexual pedophilia considered homosexual or do the priests perform mental gymnastics and justify that because they are prepubescent the boys aren't technically men so it's man shall not lie with man because in fact it is man lying with boy so it is totally not gay and a convenient loophole like the jews stating that molesting a child does not count as having an affair against your wife so therefore the jew husband did nothing wrong towards his wife after sex with child?
>>24772933"The nature of man is sin." They get weekly redeemed by Jesus and struggle against it, just like the boys struggle against it.
>>24771838There are worse things in this world then footnotes on the back my friend.
>>24772933all of christianity is mental gymnastics to plug the same answer to every question, so your assumption is correct
>>24772933sin is sin, and noone is exempt from judgement, regardless of any casuistry. many saints throughout history have said that hell is filled with bishops and cardinals, so I'd trust their take on this.
>>24773352Projecting. Your entire worldview and reality is a lie. People are not god. You are not god. People do not control or determine reality. The people in power do not control or determine reality. People are not equal. People are not blank slates, people are not inherently good noble savages, people are not perfectible, people are not rational and rationally disconnected from their environment. There is no realm of higher purely rational thought disconnected from emotions and impulses. People and society cannot be improved through social engineering by leftist collage educated experts, managerial bureaucrats, or the state.Progress is not inherent to reality. Reality is not entirely and fundamentally material. reality is not fundamentally dead but alive and consciousness and responsive and evolving. Reality is not fundamentally only literal. Reality is not fundamentally and only rational. Reality is not fundamentally disenchanted. The divine and spiritual is real. the meak are not more moral than the great, morality and greatness are two different dimensions of reality. Weakness and tolerance are not virtuous. Everything just is what it is. Reality is inherently mysterious. Self loathing is just as evil as hubris. Your entire worldview is just a rationalization for the ruling managerial class and the totalitarian state to gain ever increasing amounts of power and turn people into cogs. Your entire worldview is just lying and stealing and parasitism. Your entire worldview is just a way to deny reality and evade responsibility and remain immature and evil and not grow up and be virtuous and responsible and act like an actual fucking adult.

>>24771846It's a decent overview. I find some sectarian histories tend to gloss difficult subjects in a biased or loose way, so another perspective is nice even if a survey is necessarily a mile wide and an inch deep.Not that secular histories aren't biased, and that one does have some pretty glaring problems, but they are mostly early on and couched in the terms of "scholarly consensus," which I feel like simply needs to be explained as "what secular historians speculate, obviously with extremely low levels of confidence given the paucity of sources." But this problem is endemic to Biblical and Church history. It is perhaps worse for secularites to not mention how speculative their "consensus" is though because it's not like they can appeal to faith or holy tradition. But it's also not like Erhman where he is claiming to have uncovered "what the Apostles really thought of Jesus when he was alive."
>>24771853I'm sort of confused on this whole issue. Is it that people think the Church should conduct gay marriages? Because it seems obvious that fornication is a sin of concupiscence and disordered passions. But then marriage centers around procreation and men cannot procreate with men or women with women.Yet when people talk about "acceptance of homosexuality," it often seems to be paired with "and the homosexuals can fornicate and cohabit, as can the heterosexuals now too. Fornication as a sin and chastity as a virtue is old fashioned (gluttony as a sin and temperance as a virtue to)." And these just seems wholly anathema to the core message of Christianity.
>>24773426A lot of men are unable to procreate these days period. Why should I care about the rights of homosexuals when they can just walk into a bar and get sucked off without issue?
>>24773352Literary theorists like Stanley Fish engage in verbal gymnastics to assert that there's no such thing as objective truth, how come that's completely acceptable and the other isn't unless some ulterior motive is present?
>>24773460fish is not taken seriously and is criticized constantly afaik
>>24773474Yet his methodology seems rampant in academia.
>>24773321How does this happen
>>24773456>rightsLiberalism has already made the Church irrelevant to the rights and the law.
