Talked about the soul/body in Christian anthroplogy today. Good stuff. No matter how brilliant Aquinas was he was still a misogynist ass. Despite the institutionalized Chruch's ignorant emphasis on negative body talk, there is little in actual theology to support it. And if the soul is a nongendered and highly individual entity and only our physical body takes on a sexed gender..... hmmmmm.....???? I'm thinking about the implications of this on transgendered folk. I don't know what's already out there. I'd like to see work like this come from a real scholarly, Catholic or Orthodox background, rather than the fruity hoo-ha of liberal Christianity, but my suspicion is that only us fruity liberals will tackle this sort of stuff.
On a less theological note, I had a long conversastion with C. yesterday. Talking is always always always good and always hard and thought provoking. The two o'clock hour is reserved for Carrick thoughts and prayers. I'm envious of his visit to Seattle. Our old stomping ground: he's having coffee with my fantastic friend Airen at a fantastic coffee shop, he's gonna eat some of our favorite pizza, he's going to hear live music. Ah, the Hill. Nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia
Maybe there will be more posts later. I'm looking forward to a day of grocery shopping (making vegan pizza tonight....ah, nostalgia), hanging with Angela doing reading and laundry, having movie night with the crew in 202. It's a double feature of Big Lebowski and Chasing Amy. Whee!
