Nor is it hard to do. We have the advantage as Catholics - much of the absolute best art down through the ages is religious (Fra Angelico, Michelangelo, etc. etc. etc!) So you can put up great art and voila! it is an inspiration on many levels. In my office I have a Madonna and Child from our church bulletin, Christmas cards, a gift from my niece (an artist in her own right) which is an illuminated chant, and my church's calendar (new art every month). These hang beside photos of family, bridges, mountains, and a Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party. - - - I like pictures. I even have a GK Chesterton quote* among the electrical engineering charts pinned to my walls. What do people see when the enter my cube? Great art or religious scenes as they are disposed.

I mean, that's obvious, isn't it? It built what we call the white personality. Right? Seventeen hundred years of European culture. Right? Christendumb? It is fun to predict what idioms will register with what people, and gender is one of the criteria to use in making the guesses, but picking idioms is only a means to establishing communication with a person. "Coming to terms with them." It will get you nowhere to predict of a given person that this person is dumber than you, or smarter. That is the one prediction that will always be wrong. Either the other person is a person or she isn't. If she is, she's intelligent. She might use different terms for things than you do. The writer supplies enough dialogue exchanged with his daughter to speculate about what she meant by what she told him that he has still not picked up on.

Common nouns are generalizations. But using a generalization requires matching the term to the evidence. Females don't care about life and death issues but do care about fashion frivolities. I mean, that's obvious, isn't it? It doesn't need any proving. Just mentioning it is proof enough. That's what you call a prejudice. You don't teach people prejudices. You bully and intimidate them into fearing your prejudices, and perhaps they learn the utility of adopting the same prejudices, once they discover what they can get out of other people by bullying and intimidating them. I mean to distinguish physical threats from passive-aggression with those two terms. Lying to someone is a form of passive-aggression. Generalizations are necessary to language.

Edith Stein and put her on my bulletin board. It was before she entered the convent and she has her face resting in her hand with a book in her lap. She could easily be my great aunt or grandmother. Everytime I look at it, it makes me happy because I feel like we share an understanding. She was an academic, not an office worker, which is really what I woul rather do, but she has such an intense yet peaceful look on her face that it reminds me we all do what we must. Being martyr, she would know! I printed up a black and white photo of my confirmation Saint, st. Edith Stein and put her on my bulletin board.

Only those who knew Spanish could read my attempt at Scripture posting.

I am working through that document already, along with other important magisterial documents, but I was looking more for studies or scholarly articles/books on the topic which discuss a Catholic perspective. Thanks again. Thanks John.
