"Like the choice between competing political institutions, that between competing paradigms proves to be a choice between incompatible modes of community life. Because it has that character, the choice is not and cannot be determined merely by the evaluative procedures characteristic of normal science, for these depend in part upon a particular paradigm, and that paradigm is at issue. When paradigms enter, as they must, into a debate about paradigm choice, their role is necessarily circular. Each group uses its own paradigm to argue in that paradigm's defense."   -Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Some stuff we mentioned: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt Christopher Hitchens on why belief in God is illogical Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com.

"These subjects were reasoning. They were working quite hard at reasoning. But it was not reasoning in search of truth; it was reasoning in support of their emotional reactions. It was reasoning as described by the philosopher David Hume, who wrote in 1739 that 'reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them."   -Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind If you want to drink the coffee of the dogs, check out Guadalupe Roastery, coffee for the common good.

"In the beginning I dwelt in the Paradise of God, where Man was naked.  Or rather, I was in Man, and of his Essence when he was naked, walking with him in that spacious Paradise, fearing nothing, doubting nothing, thinking no Evil.  I thought to have stayed with him forever, for he had been created by the Most High…for possessing Nothing, he belonged wholly to God"   -The Lady Poverty: a XIII century Allegory; with a chapter on the spiritual significance of evangelical poverty, by Father Cuthbert, o. s. f. g.

And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.

"The discipline of temperance, understood as selfless self-preservation, is the saving and defending realization of the inner order of man. For temperance not only preserves, it also defends: indeed, it preserves by defending. For since the first sin man has been not only capable of loving himself more than he loves God his Creator but, contrary to his own nature, inclined to do so. The discipline of temperance defends him against all selfish perversion of the inner order, through which alone the moral person exists and lives effectively."   -Josef Pieper, The Four Cardinal Virtues These Irish Rowers were sad they missed their own celebration. This week's This American Life Episode is about a pastor who stopped believing in hell. Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com.

"Art has a right and a duty, for the sake of realism, to reproduce the human body, and the love of man and woman, as they are in reality, to speak the whole truth about them. The human body is an authentic part of the truth about man, just as its sensual and sexual aspects are an authentic part of the truth about human love. But it would be wrong to let this part obscure the whole - and this is what often happens in art."   -Karol Wojtyla, Love and Responsibility Buy Guadalupe Roastery coffee if you know what's good for you, workers, the environment, and the Kingdom of God.

“I am of your opinion about the mountains, the sea, and the forest; they are the three great things in nature… I am as fond as yourself of them; but as old age creeps on, nature takes less hold upon us, and we feel the beauty of the saying of the Marquis de Vauvenargues. “Sooner or later, we enjoy only souls.” This is why we can always love and be loved. Old age withers the body but to the soul that is not corrupted it gives a new youth. And the moment of death is that of the blossoming of our minds.” -Lacordaire, Letters to Young Men Drink Guadalupe Roastery coffee. Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com

As Western culture becomes more isolated from the influence of God’s personal love and its members settle into an opaque world where the supernatural is obscured, they begin to live as fleshly (sarx), and so denigrate the real, the body (soma), where they risk being ingrates to the wonder of the ordinary. Those who still live in the soma receive meaning from within their communion with Christ, sharing in His body the Church and receiving it as gift (“This is my body, which will be given for you” [Lk 22:19]). The body is more than the pain of boredom bearing an invitation to seek entertainment. Succumbing to such is the very core of sloth. Neither time nor ordinary living is to be jettisoned in favor of fantasy. The body in time is one’s life; immersion in Eucharistic culture means one’s life is meant to be “given.” The body in time is meant to be received as a gift and then given to God and others in return as “liturgy.” This reciprocal gifting of bodies (ours and Christ’s) is the action celebrated liturgically in “Ordinary Time.” -Dcn James Keating, "Boredom, Ordinary Time, and God's Gift of Himself" Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com

"The soul united to God and transformed in him draws from within God a divine breath, much like the most high God himself. And God, abiding in the soul, breathes forth the life of the soul as its exemplar. This I take to be what Paul meant when he said: Because you are children of God, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father”; this is what takes place in those who have achieved perfection. One should not wonder that the soul is capable of so sublime an activity. For if God so favours her that she is made God-like by union with the most Holy Trinity, I ask you then, why it should seem so incredible that the soul, at one with the Trinity and in the greatest possible likeness to it, should share the understanding, knowledge and love which God achieves in himself." - St. John of the Cross Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com
