If you can't tell from my previous posts, I have a sort of love-hate relationship with news. I love knowing what's going on in the world. On the other hand, I can't stand the media, or at least how they tend to sensationalize everything into 5-minute (or less) sound bytes, like bubble gum for our brains. Then, I pick up a book from any of the great Catholic thinkers, from the Church fathers to St. Augustine to St. Thomas Aquinas, right up to our modern-day popes, John Paul the Great and Benedict XVI and think, "Why in the world do I even bother to turn the TV on." Seriously, it's like a war going on in my brain. It's like soup and sandwich vs Snickers...both sound so good but only one is really satisfying.
So, I'm making a commitment to pick the good books up (Scripture and the Catechism being tops among them) and do some mental and spiritual weightlifting. After all, it beats real weightlifting any day of the week. No excuses, no holds barred, it's time to dig in.
So, starting this Friday, I'd like to introduce my first series...Philosophy Fridays.
The first topic? One that I think needs to be discussed more today: Fact and Feelings: Orienting Objective Truth and Subjective Experience.
Please drop in when you can, subscribe if you'd like, and, by all means, leave feedback.
God bless you and I'll see you Friday!
