One of the metaphors used early on by the current pontiff was to describe the idea of the Church as a field hospital treating the wounded.
This excellent metaphor, like the reasonable concept of parrhesia, faded from use after the early pontificate. The last recorded use by the pontiff I can find being in February 2015.
This is just as well, as Larry Chapp points out in a fascinating blog post. The "different church" he is trying to birth is not so much interested in treating the spiritually-wounded as making them comfortable. Or, in the case of the tiny traditionalist bands themselves in need of genuine, sympathetic pastors--driving them away with mortar fire.
He [the pontiff] is being honest when he says that he holds to those things as proper moral and spiritual ideals.And therein is precisely the problem.The Popes concerns are not focused on theological precision, but on pastoral application.And in the service of the latter he sacrifices the former, reducing the teachings of the Church, especially on moral matters, to mere ideals that do indeed act as proper teleological goals but not as binding moral commandments requiring confession, conversion and true repentance when we fail them.
This is why Pope Francis routinely, and wrongly, pits doctrine against mercy, truth against compassion, and treats the commandments as rules that are pharisaical when applied with anything approaching a robust rigor. The field hospital metaphor for the Church is a good one, and I endorse it most heartily, but field hospitals are extensions of real hospitals and their goal is to heal and to restore to health.And a hospital that treats health as a mere ideal that is impossible to achieve for most ordinary people, and leaves them as they are, is no real hospital at all but a hospice.
There is far too much here to excerpt, and it edges toward being overlong--a venial problem that I would be hypocritical to criticize.
The hospice, not a hospital metaphor leapt to mind when I read this news out of New Zealand today.
It is one thing to recognize the trinitarian baptisms of fellow Christians done with the proper sacramental intent as valid. Doing so is, in fact, mandatory.
But it is very hospice-y--indeed, the behavior of a different church--to not care about where a Catholic is baptized. At least if the sacramental economy of the Faith is something other than optional.
[John Cardinal] Dew agrees, saying it honours our commitment to seek the unity that draws us together, to be transformed by our encounter with one another, and to promote further expressions of our unity across our churches.The Catholic and Lutheran churches can learn from one another and speak with a common voice on issues of concern in modern society, with the conviction that they share one baptism and one faith.
While there are differences in understanding and emphasis between the two churches, the Commissions statement notes:
Catholics and Lutherans both assert that through baptism a person becomes a member of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
A parent couple that includes both a Catholic and a Lutheran partner are encouraged to bring their child for baptism in the church of their choice. They may seek to have both of their pastors/priests participate in the baptismal service.
Christians are encouraged to speak of being baptised into the Christian church, into the Christian faith, or into Christ.
They may say that they were baptised in the Catholic or Lutheran church but are discouraged from saying that they have been baptised Catholic or baptised Lutheran.
I'm sure there's a nice, soothing memo explaining how this is just fine, and definitely in line with the reforms of Vatican II. There always is.
There always is.
And it would be divisive to question it in the slightest respect. In fact, it would be a sign of psychological problems--or even being a pawn of the devil. Or best of all, both.
So it's fine.
Just don't dare say you were baptized Catholic, and wait for the next set of talking points from the Different Church.
It's very comfortable here, and the nice chaplain always has a smile as he walks past my room.
Is he a priest? Doesn't matter, I'm told.
Plus, he's a very nice man, always has a smile.
The IV drip helps a lot.
Sometimes I'm bothered, like something isn't quite right.
But I'm sure I'm fine.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
Short, distorting summary: when it comes to antibodies, quality replaces quantity.
Most of our B cells, or the antibodies they produce, wont actually react at all to SARS-CoV-2, or a vaccine that resembles it. Thats because our bodies are always churning out B cells at random, repeatedly futzing with their genetics so that theyll make a diverse array of antibodiesbillions or trillions in totalthat can collectively recognize just about any microbe they might ever see. This process is haphazard and imprecise, though: When B cells are born, they dont have any particular pathogen in mind, Gabriel Victora, an immunologist at Rockefeller University, told me. Instead of gripping firmly onto the viruss surface, many antibodies might just bounce on and off, giving the pathogen ample time to wrest itself free, Bhattacharya said. Its the best defense the body can slap together on short notice, having never met the bug before. Early antibodies are sort of the immune systems best guesses at defensethe immunological equivalent of throwing spaghetti against a wall to see what stickswhich usually means we need a lot of them to truly pen the pathogen in place. Theyre also fragile. Most antibodies dont hang around for more than a few weeks before they degrade.
Such flimsy fighters arent terribly good investments for the long term. So while the subpar antibodies are duking it out on the front lines, the immune system will shuttle a contingent of young B cells into a boot camp, called a germinal center, where they can study up on the coronavirus. What happens inside these training camps is a battle royal in miniature: The cells crowd together and desperately vie for access to the resources they need to survive. Their weapons are their antibodies, which they wave frantically about, trying to latch on to chunks of dead coronavirus, while a panel of other immune cells judges them from afar. Only the most battle-ready among themthe ones whose antibodies grip most tightly onto the coronavirusmove on to the next round, and the losers perish in defeat. As Gommerman put it, If they suck, they die.
The harrowing cycle repeats itself over and over, and only gets more grim. Survivor B cells will xerox themselves, deliberately introducing errors into their genetic codes in the hopes that some of the mutations will enhance their antibodies chances of gluing themselves to the virus. The entire process is downright Darwinian, like a super-sped-up form of natural selection, Victora said. The weaklings are weeded out, leaving just the sharpest and strongest behind. Its also very prolonged.
Researchers such as Ali Ellebedy, of Washington University in St. Louis, have found that these tournaments of culling continue for at least 12 to 15 weeks after people receive their COVID-19 vaccines, perhaps longer.If all of this is getting a little too Squid Game, consider the much rosier upshot: At the end of this process, our bodies are left with some truly primo antibodies, well poised to take up the mantle of protection as the first waves of mediocre defenders start to fall away.
First, the good: Boston Celtics center Enes Canter takes a stand on Tibet.
It should also be noted that the Turkish native cannot return to his homeland because of his fierce and well-supported criticisms of the tyrant there.
So, yes--he's the real deal.
Xitler's Reich responded as expected, yanking Celtics games from broadcast.
Which brings me to the bad: the best case scenario is a tepid defense of Canter. But more likely, you'll see anger from those who always take yuan--no matter how much blood you have to wring out of the bills.
Speaking of such: the bowing and scraping sell-out collared practitioners of neo-Ostpolitik (a failure, no matter what the red-friendly apologists try to say) are floating trial balloons about abandoning Taiwan.
Because of course they are.
Makes me wonder how many yuan are cycling through Vatican City at the moment.
No doubt some sold themselves too cheaply, not understanding the market.
And let me end on a final grim note:
If you don't have a "Guns of August" square on your 2020s Apocalyptic Bingo Card, get one that has it. It's just about a certainty to happen.
And it's sci-fi (sorta) and unsubtle satire rolled into one!
Very, very unsubtle.
After all, it comes from Norman Spinrad, about whom I have very mixed feelings. To the good, he can be a genuinely-talented writer and world-builder.
To the bad, he has usually has A Message or two in his works, and he's not shy about trying to get the point across. Which, hey, you do you. But the problem is, he too often doesn't trust his readers' ability to get the point and feels the need to repeatedly jab his literary elbow into your ribs and say "Get it? Get it? GET IT?"
It nearly ruins a climactic scene in his pro-EU paean Russian Spring, with one of the characters literally shouting out spoilers for another character's big surprise for the bad guys.
Yes, Norm--I got that something good was going to happen with your character's poker-playing buddy who always has a hole card or two. That's why I wear the martial arts torso armor when I pick up one of your books.
The same thing nearly happened in Journals of the Plague Years, a pro-sexual-liberation-in-the-age-of-AIDS tract that created an orwellian "Sex Police" making sure folks didn't get busy inappropriately. But happily, Spinrad threw a welcome curve ball by making a pivotal Christian fundamentalist character a good guy without the character--a major US government leader--"growing up" and abandoning his beliefs.
Short version: don't go to Spinrad if you are looking for the light touch.
However, in The Iron Dream, Spinrad's lack of subtlety works to good advantage. And, given the reports that readers still missed the point, breaking out a rhetorical board of education was necessary, I suppose.
Basically, the conceit of the story is that the book is the late Adolf Hitler's Hugo Award-winning science-fiction masterwork. Which, if you know how woke the Hugos have become over the past decade, now works humorously at multiple levels. Not least of which is the reality that if The Iron Dream were published today, the current Hugo commissariat wouldn't touch it with a sequoia-sized pole, no matter that it is an anti-fascist satire.
In the world that led to the book, Hitler emigrated from Germany after the First World War and set up shop in New York as a fiction writer. Soviet Russia went on to swallow Eurasia and by the end of the 1950s only Japan and America are independent.
In the meantime, Hitler mastered English (more or less) and became a very popular science-fiction writer. His magnum opus, "Lord of the Swastika," was published posthumously, and inspired a Nazi-like legion of fans to follow the book rabidly, right down to forming clubs which follow the book's ethos ("Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude...")
Spinrad is trying to do three things: (1) zing Hitler's genuine weirdness and mediocrity, (2) note the effectiveness of fascist imagery, and (3) most imporantly to him, zing what he regards as Freudian-fascist undercurrents in sci-fi/fantasy.
It works, for the most part, with the reader finding himself (however loathingly in retrospect) rooting for Hitler's protagonist, Ferric Jaggar, who wants to free a post-nuclear True Humanity from mutants and Dominators. Spinrad throws brickbat after brickbat, pummeling hypermasculinism, fetishism, lack of female characters, military gear worship and probably most tediously, homoeroticism.
Yes, Norm, Jaggar's legendary weapon is A Really Big Steel Dick. That occasionally throbs and awes his Inner Circle of Deeply (?) Closeted Heroes.
Again: Spinrad and subtlety live on separate continents and their correspondence is sparse and strained.
Given how many shots he fires, he scores plenty of hits even as he becomes painfully repetitive and exaggerates past the point of no return. Especially for readers who have embraced the science fiction and fantasy genres since the 70s.
I think it's safe to say modern sci-fi and fantasy have broadened considerably from their levels of development in the before times, and the pathologies he perceived then--exaggerated to ludicrous levels--are nowhere near as prevalent. Still, it's worthwhile and a handy corrective to bad writing tendencies, and it will leave an indelible impression.
I saw a barge once, Mr. Yeaman, filled with colored men in chains heading down the Mississippi to the New Orleans slave markets. It sickened me. And more than that, it brought a shadow down. A pall around my eyes. Slavery troubled me, as long as I can remember, in a way it never troubled my father, though he hated it.
In his own fashion. He knew no smallholding dirt farmer could compete with slave plantations, he took us out from Kentucky to get away from 'em. He wanted Indiana kept free. He wasn't a kind man, but there was a rough moral urge for fairness, for freedom, in him. I learnt that from him, I suppose, if little else from him.
Uighurs being shipped to work in America's outsourced electronics factories.
Universal Electronics, Inc.
They make remote controls.
Remember that name, and the names of the blind-eye multinationals they supply.
The Nasdaq-listed firm, which has sold its equipment and software to Sony, Samsung, LG, Microsoft and other tech and broadcast companies, has employed at least 400 Uyghur workers from the far-western region of Xinjiang as part of an ongoing worker-transfer agreement, according to the company and local officials in Qinzhou and Xinjiang, government notices and local state media.
In at least one instance, Xinjiang authorities paid for a charter flight that delivered the Uyghur workers under police escort from Xinjiang's Hotan city - where the workers are from - to the UEI plant, according to officials in Qinzhou and Hotan interviewed by Reuters. The transfer is also described in a notice posted on an official Qinzhou police social media account in February 2020 at the time of the transfer.
Evil. Pure evil.
No doubt UEI, like the rest of the scum corporations it supplies, is big into preaching "equity" to its American serf class and paying customers.
So, my children, this sort of thing is one of the reasons why the notion of Hell does not bother me as much as it does other people.
A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, You are mad; you are not like us.'
Bari Weiss, driven out of the NYT, talks about a world gone mad with Brian Stelter, the latter of whom is baffled by the very idea.
"Where can I start? Well, when you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID for The New York Times talking about how questioning or pursuing the question of the lab leak is racist, the world has gone mad.
When you're not able to say out loud and in public there are differences between men and women, the world has gone mad.
When were not allowed to acknowledge that rioting is rioting and it is bad and that silence is not violence, but violence is violence, the world has gone mad.
When you're not able to say the Hunter Biden laptop is a story worth pursuing, the world has gone mad.
When, in the name of progress, young school children, as young as kindergarten, are being separated in public schools because of their race, and that is called progress instead of segregation, the world has gone mad.
There are dozens of examples."
Weiss and several like-minded old-school liberals have established the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, doing what self-styled civil liberties organizations used to do, but now oppose, in the name of the ascendant religious ideology.
Ultimately, Weiss and company will lose. The tides are running too strongly against them. But that does not mean it is not a fight worth having, much less that one should not stand up and be counted.
One generation's defeat can lay the groundwork for their great-grandchildren's victory.

Dodge Chargers are the worst. I hate the car with the fury of the thousand sons. Yes, 40K reference deliberate.
No, really: giving the drag racing in our neck of the woods, I have taken to calling it The Official Car of the Detroit A--h--e. Though at least the racing down our street seems to have declined this year.
Exhibit MCLVI for my judgmentalism.
Troopers spotted a white Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat "traveling at an excessive speed" on westbound Interstate 696 near Interstate 75 in Royal Oak around 2:15 a.m. Sunday, MSP said on Twitter.
The driver, 29, allegedly clocked in at more than150 mph before troopers lost sight of him, according to the post.
Minutes later, the troopers found the motorist at Greenfield Road near I-696, pushing his car into a parking lot, MSP said.
"After further investigation it was discovered the suspect, a 29-year-old male out of Oak Park, ran out of gas in the middle of the roadway," state police said. "The suspect admitted to his reckless acts and was found to be highly intoxicated."
Got to 150 mph?
And intoxicated?
I can only imagine on what, he says rhetorically, recalling the toker walking down the middle of the street early yesterday evening.
One of the many reasons I look forward to winter is that it offers us a partial reprieve from Charger-driven idiocy. Not a complete cessation, mind you--but a definite dial-down.

Much Outrage! at our Transportation Secretary being on extended family leave during our transportation crisis.

I think it's just as well.
Is there a non-cognitively-impaired watcher of the political scene who thinks the former Mayor of South Bend was selected for the post because of his transportation background and experience?
"Pothole Pete"?
Of course not. He was picked because he was a loyal campaigner and he checked a demographic box. He has nothing to add to the solution of the problem--unless pouring some additional sidewalks would help.
Though, to be fair, he likes trains--and we're certainly having problems with those, too.
But then again, so do I, and I even had a set of operable toy ones, complete with Exciting Electrocution Effect!
I will pre-emptively decline the nomination.
To end the digression, I don't have the slightest problem with him being on extended leave. It leaves the long-term civil service professionals in charge.
The part we should be focusing on is that the long-term professionals don't have any answers, either.
And that's the part that worries me.
A woman was raped on a commuter train in suburban Philadelphia last Wednesday evening...and no one riding in the same train car did anything.
It took an observant SEPTA employee to get help.
The entire episode was captured on surveillance video that showed other people on the train at the time, [Police Superintendent Timothy] Bernhardt said.
There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something, Bernhardt said. It speaks to where we are in society; I mean, who would allow something like that to take place? So its troubling.
For those who might not get the reference, Kitty Genovese was a young woman in who was stabbed to death in Queens in 1964. The newspaper that launched Walter Duranty into the journalistic stratosphere notoriously got the facts very, very, wrong, claiming that 38 witnesses saw the attack and did nothing. As it turns out, that was not the case at all, and the police were summoned by two witnesses. And none of the witnesses saw the whole event.
But, if officer Bernhardt is correct here, there's film of people doing nothing as a rape unfolds in front of them.
What, are we our sister's keeper these days or something?
A thorough critique of a book by one of the more visible of America's soi disant experts and adjunct intellectuals, Tom Nichols.
A lecturer at several American schools, Nichols came to modest notice for a fairly unobjectionable book about the dangers of spurning expertise. Since then he has acquired more notoriety for fierce political denunciations on social media, managing to harangue himself into occasional national notice. Usually whilst invoking his lecturing credentials.
Alas, as it turns out, bellowing "I'm smarter than you!" over and over again on Twitter doesn't make it so.
It also can't save you from contradicting your thesis--such as it is--from chapter to chapter:
Here is the central subject of his book, as he sees it: If we believe democracy has failed us, we should first ask ourselves whether we have failed the test of democracy. Its a trivial observation that democracy would work well with a perfect populace, since anything would work well in that circumstance. For democracy to fail it must be the case that we have failed.
Indeed, Our Own Worst Enemy is peppered with so many internal tensions and contradictions that its hard to believe its not an attempt to use paradox to convey some sort of secret, true meaning.
* * *
Nichols theorizes that line-crossers [e.g., Obama-Trump voters] are self-interested voters looking for better dealsbut he doesnt explain why this would be the case, or why it would be such a moral or systemic problem if it were true. If the political parties are so stable that coherence can only be found in sticking with one or the other, then why would the same person be able to get a better deal on one side than on the other? Why are those who change party affiliationas Nichols didnecessarily any more self-interested than those who dont change? Actually, theres little reason to think a self-interested person would bother voting at allthe so-called paradox of voting. And Nichols attributes to these voters both a comfortable, prosperous lifestyle and a desire for apocalypsehow could that combination be self-interested? Nichols engages none of these debates.
The third chapter covers more familiar ground: Theres an epidemic of narcissism in America, along with rage, resentment, and nostalgia. Of course Nichols formless pomposity on this subject cannot match the keen rhetorical incisions of Christopher Lasch, whom he cites. Whats odd about this chapter, however, is that Nichols, now relaying passages from the famous 2005 book Whats the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America by Thomas Frank, adopts the view that resentment causes Americans to vote against their self-interest. And no, you are not going crazy: Just a paragraph ago, I was explaining Nichols claim that the problem with American democracy is that voters act on pure self-interest.
It sounds like "the secret, true meaning" of the book is to demonstrate that editors are indispensable to book publishing. That, and the more time you spend being contemptuous, the more at risk you are of becoming contemptible.
But $25 is a bit pricey for an inadvertent cautionary tale, so I will content myself with the review.
