You go back in time to kill John Calvin and just as you're about to make the final blow he smiles. "Oh, so you're punishing me for something I haven't done yet? Something that's, let us say, predetermined? Kill me if you want but I've already won." You pause just long enough for him to tackle you and grab your gun. God fucking damn it, not again

[eternal-echoes]

“The ideas of Saint John of Damascus and his supporters later permitted us the luxury of the beautiful Madonnas of Raphael, the Pietà of Michelangelo, and countless other works of passion and genius, not to mention the great cathedral façades (which often depicted Christ, the apostles, and the saints) of the High Middle Ages. This favorable view of representational religious art cannot simply be taken for granted as something natural and inevitable; Islam, after all, has never abandoned its insistence on aniconic (non-image) art. Rehabilitating the iconoclast heresy in the sixteenth century, Protestants went on a rampage of smashing statues, altarpieces, stained-glass windows, and other great treasures of Western art. John Calvin, arguably the most significant Protestant thinker of all, favored visually barren settings for his worship services, and even prohibited the use of musical instruments. Nothing could have been further removed from the Catholic Church's respect for the natural world, inspired by the Incarnation, and its belief that human beings, composed of body (matter) and soul, can be aided in their ascent to God with the aid of material things.”

- Thomas E. Woods Jr., Ph.D., “Art, Architecture, and the Church,” How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization

I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.

Hence it follows, that they who depart from the gospel, do not adhere to the spirit of the law, but merely pursue its shadow.

So, I'm casually watching Yes, God, Yes (starring Natalia Dyer) when suddenly they go to...

Camp Calvin??

The summer camp I went to as a kid!

It's so surreal to see these actors walk around a camp I know like the back of my hand! I've been in those buildings and walked that bridge so many times!

It's funny to me knowing this Catholic retreat is actually a Presbyterian-run camp. And it's extra hilarious if you know the *ahem* subject matter of the film ;)

Men will never worship God with a sincere heart, or be roused to fear and obey Him with sufficient zeal, until they properly understand how much they are indebted to His mercy.

"It is almost always the nature of God's word that whenever it goes forth, Satan wakes up and starts to skirmish. This is a very sure mark which distinguishes it from all false teaching, which is easily identified by the fact that it is willingly recieved by all, and is to everyone's liking."
