Frequency of updates is slow recently as I am trying to write a paper for work which is taking most of my writing energy + I write things and then end up leaving them as drafts, as I discuss in this post :)

I feel like that could be one of my strengths in the long term once I am fully catechized. Because I was atheist for so long, I have a resilience to blasphemy and profane things that I notice not everyone has. The most useful time it comes up is with protestants because they can be quite hostile and at first Satan will come out while they are insulting you while pretending they are attempting to enlighten you.

...but if you can stay calm during these encounters and let the things they are not ready to be corrected about slide while educating them about their incorrect view of Catholicism and also reminding them that Christ would not want them to behave this way even under their own framework, you can actually position yourself to enlighten them haha. But it takes a great deal of patience because they can be ... awful.

Technically that declaration was made before the US pulled the rug under Aguinaldo and bought the Philippines for two million.

Article XVII, the longest article, has given me much comfort when it comes to the doctrine of predestination. I therefore treat it as one that I should not try to meditate upon as it is, much like the Trinity, incomprehensible to our minds bound to space and time. I believe it was St. Ignatius who said "pray like it all depends on God, work like it all depends on you". This thought has been sufficient for me.

discreteideas 3 months ago

I'm not sure. I think the trinity is something we can and should meditate upon and the same with predestination - that doesn’t mean we will understand them because of-course the very idea of an infinite God is not indescribable with finite thought or words.

sorry: "is indescribable " not "is not indescribable"

duvarki 3 months ago

Perhaps meditate wasn't the right word to use. I meant that we shouldn't try to understand it fully, and that we should live accepting a reality we won't be able to comprehend. The article does indeed say that predestination should be a comfort to believers, but it can lead to all sorts of weird places if you were to try and dig deeper in a rational kind of way. I appreciate that Anglicanism leaves it at that.

discreteideas 3 months ago

Yes your probably right. Like I said in my post my thinking is basically vibes based "I think I have free will because I feel like I have free will" - I think this is a rational way to think, but to say much more I would need to study the corpus of Christian (and non Christian) writers who have thought about the topic a great deal.

I have significantly restructured and simplified my site. Discrete Ideas has been live for ~3 months and over that time my vision for what I want it to be has shifted and grown. I am hoping that now it will be easier to navigate for first time visitors as I have removed the bloated number of sub-pages.

I am excited to see what the future holds for your site! How has your vision changed recently? Is it in connection to your recent entry in your chronicles?

Hi duvarki, it's more that I am focusing on the Chronicles posts as a way to write essays. When I started I expected I would write whole essays in one go - but its really not very realistic given the time requirements

I see, that does make sense. Mine took a year and a bit to write, so a more short-form way of sharing thoughts makes sense and I find it quite tempting myself. I just don't have many opinions or thoughts that I feel can be sufficiently justified with just a few words. But your approach does sound appealing, to share ideas as they come in order to compile them into a coherent essay if need be.
