Modern Christians have a “cheerleader” view of the Church, where she passively observes & endures Christ’s providence. Where any effort is colored “control” or “distrusting God.” The historic view (w/minor variations) is the Church militant,

Each of us are called to do good only for a little while. That good is multiplied when men of Noble grit band together in their territory. Any success comes from the Lord. Yet, even if we never see the day of victory, constancy is the upward call: for for God, king, and kinsman.

Much of what Classical Education accomplishes is unquantifiable. “Facts” are good, and certainly “useful.” But the chief good of the endeavor is training and remedying the affections. Even production isn’t the end, but delight, wonder, humanness, and especially magnanimity.

Hotter take: Watching a public execution is good medicine for a depraved, emaciated society.
The soul desires justice. It behooves us not to conflate that with bloodlust/cruelty; an unnecessary assumption.
The Lord commanded public executions. We are not wiser than he.
Hot take: watching a man get executed on livestream is low class behavior.
I understand the Romans made killing a public spectacle, and so did the French Revolution but that’s entertainment for the plebs.
I hold myself to a higher standard.
You have to ask yourself what you’re feeding when you deliberately sit down to watch somebody die...
What part of you wants that experience?
Remember, the content you consume shapes who you become. If you feed yourself enough cruelty, eventually death becomes entertainment.
Yes, this man is evil, and he should be condemned but bloodlust is not a virtue.
If you care about your spiritual life guard what you watch.
You should be more worried about what’s happening to your soul.

@Brian_Sauve All I’m saying is, just consider getting into the blanket market. Sell New Christendom bed coverings filled with bald eagle fathers (I’m a little spotty in the legality of this one) & call those bad boys “Sauve’s Duvets.” You could make hundreds of dollars, my guy.

All too true. What is worth saying? Who has said it well enough?
Despite being a professional writer, I struggled in composition classes. I only later realized what the real problem was. It wasn't a lack of skills. I could have overcome that. It was that a really didn't have anything to say. And I bet I'm not the only one with that problem.
