Want this soooooo badly (but it would probably bankrupt me 😖😖)

Made in 1988 by Royal Worcester to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the defeat of the Spanish Armada - "Queen Elizabeth reviews her troops at Tilbury". Only 100 were ever made, but this is just beautiful ♥️👑

detail of Francesco Podesti's Promulgation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, 1865.

For it is thus that all Church dogmas have arrived, in the past, at their promulgation: they live first of all in the hearts of the believers, then influence more and more the liturgical life of the Church, in order —lastly— to be promulgated as formulated dogmas. Dogmatic theology is only the last stage of the "way of dogma" which begins in the depths of the life of souls and results in ceremonious promulgation. This way is exactly what is understood by "the direction of the Church by the Holy Spirit". The Church knows it and has the patience to await —even for centuries— the time when the work of the Holy Spirit will have attained to maturity.

Anonymous (Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism, page 551)

Concerning the teaching of the Immaculate Conception, important theologians like Duns Scotus enriched what the People of God already spontaneously believed about the Blessed Virgin and expressed in acts of devotion, in the arts, and in Christian life in general with the specific contribution of their thought. Thus faith both in the Immaculate Conception and in the bodily Assumption of the Virgin was already present in the People of God, while theology had not yet found the key to interpreting it in the totality of the doctrine of faith. The People of God therefore precede theologians and this is all thanks to that supernatural sensus fidei, namely, that capacity infused by the Holy Spirit that qualifies us to embrace the reality of the faith with humility of heart and mind. In this sense, the People of God is the "teacher that goes first" and must then be more deeply examined and intellectually accepted by theology. May theologians always be ready to listen to this source of faith and retain the humility and simplicity of children!

not for this to be the hill i die on or whatever but oh my god, ‘her parents were the catholic monarchs’ is not an argument. what is there to suggest her parents were any more against sin/more pious than arthur’s? catherine would later complain that during fasting periods at the tudor court, you could not receive meat to consume ‘even if you were dying [...] they look upon anyone that eats it as heretics’ , which suggests the early tudor court might have been even more rigorously catholic than her parents by comparison, at least in some respects...

#like if you don't find this argument equally equippable then i don't think you really believe in it lol #*applicable #by the same logic what reason did arthur have to lie/ how could he when his parents were so pious etc #they were both the same age so that one had a deeper formative experience than the other does not hold water #ALSO if this is those that receive kiss-ass titles from the pope are the morally righteous/superior island......... #what pray tell was Mr Fidei Defensor himself #since most of the same say he knew he didn't 'really' have a sound case #and somehow managed to pretend to believe he did for the last 20 years of his life #*also yes one was an oath upon the sacrament and one is just in the presence of friends #however there's a context to the former and it's also 20+ years after the fact #2) most of those that so vehemently argue this don't believe in henry percy's similar oath upon the sacrament #and 'the princes of the north' were pretty stridently catholic as well #have an open mind to the possibility that people could equivocate the truth out of self-preservation #and don't selectively apply that open mind #catherine was not the literal goddamn virgin mary

Is there … something that sets the canonical gospels apart from the apocryphal ones?

Gathercole offered a different, but equally compelling, analysis, focusing on the theological content, rather than genre, of the gospels. His argument was presented in two stages. First, he proposed that the apostolic proclamation of the gospel function as a kind of regula fidei, a rule of faith, which shaped the formation of the New Testament. This 'rule' can be found in 1 Corinthians 15.3–4:

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…

This pattern of proclamation can be found elsewhere in the New Testament (for example, in Hebrews 10, 1 Peter 1:10-11, in the Book of Revelation) and there is good evidence that Paul was right in describing it as an established tradition of teaching. It includes the following four elements:

 Jesus was the 'Christ', the one anointed by the Creator God of Israel

That his life was, in some sense, a 'fulfilment' of the Jewish Scriptures

That Jesus' death dealt with the problem of sin

That he was raised on the third day.

Gathercole then took each of these items in turn, and explored how significant they are in the canonical gospels, and how significant they are in each of the seven best-attested apocryphal 'gospels' – the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Truth, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of the Egyptians (Coptic, NH) and the Gospel of Judas. His analysis highlighted two things:

First, whilst the canonical gospels explore and express each of these four ideas in their own distinct way, with some significant variation, they were all clearly present and of key significance in each gospel.

Second, by contrast, there was not a single apocryphal document in which all four of these ideas were present, and none of the four was present across the seven apocryphal documents. There is, in fact, little in common between the seven; they show widely different levels of interest in each of the four themes, and reject them in different ways.

For example, the idea of Jesus being 'the Christ' is rejected by the Gospel of Judas; the title is given new content, distancing it from the creator God of Israel in the Gospel of the Egyptians, the Gospel of Truth and the Gospel of Philip; and the title is simply not present in the Gospels of Thomas, Mary and Peter.

These findings do confirm the common and instinctive sense that the apocryphal documents are quite different from the canonical gospels.

Quaranta pazzi per Gesù: i martiri di Sebaste

Sono quaranta santi soldati provenienti da diverse parti della Cappadocia, arrestati nel 320 durante le persecuzioni di Licinio perché convertiti alla religione cristiana. Lasciati nudi al freddo invernale di Sebaste, in Armenia, preferiscono morire assiderati piuttosto che apostatare dalla fede. (more…) “”

The Lion of Lucerne Location: Lucerne, Switzerland

This memorial is dedicated to the Swiss Guards fallen during the French Revolution and is also famously known as the world's saddest stone. Carved in 1820, this ten-meter-long and six-meter-high monument portrays a dying lion bearing a shield of the French monarchy. The inscription above reads "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI," translating to "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss," with the names of some deceased officers listed below the lion.

Hi, curious as to how you feel about the interpretation of the tetragrammaton vs the pentagrammaton where instead of the demiurge interpretation of things it's supposed to be that IHVH enacts their wrath through the use of the four elements, represented by the four letters until the Holy Light/Spirit (Hebrew letter Shin) is introduced forming the pentagrammaton IHShVH which is when the more wrathful edges are softened. Idk I think it makes more sense than the whole "oh the old testament God is just a false evil God" idea and find it fascinating from a linguistic standpoint but I'm curious to know how you feel about it and if it's come up much in your research.

Oh man I just studied this. Tldr: "I find it academically interesting but morally repugnant."

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not Jewish, and I don't want to portray myself as an authority on Kabbalah. Its not my lane. My lane is all the bootleg knockoff derivations. So while I'm happy to discuss this corner of Christian esoterica, I wouldn't really consider this conversation complete without input from my Jewish colleagues.

SO

The Pentagrammaton comes from Johannes Reuchlin, from his book De Verbo Merifico. For some background on Reuchlin: He was the founder of Christian Hebrew studies. He's notable in that he was the first renaissance esotericist who could genuinely, read, and write, Hebrew. Like, Gershom Scholem calls him "first great Christian scholar of Hebrew" which is something. When you hear people talk about "Christian Cabbala" they're probably referring to something Reuchlin wrote.

I'm gonna be over-summarizing a complex concept here. The central idea of De Verbo is that through the use of esoteric techniques like gematria, one can derive the secret, esoteric name of Christ from the Tanakh, adding the letter "shin" to the center, thus proving that Jesus was secretly in the Tanakh the whole time, thus "completing" Judaism.

The idea behind all of this is that it was supposed to be a tool of conversion. The pentagrammaton was supposed to be this big mic drop conclusion that would totally convert them with facts and logic. It was just supersessionism, the Pugio Fidei in a slightly more verbose package. Personally, I find it academically interesting but morally repugnant.
