Dale Martin's Yale course (on iTunes U too I think) is (afaict) a v good intro to the historical situation of each of the gospels & the NT epistles - Martin's engaging, good at taking you through the developing relationship between judaism & its factions, the roman (+ ~hellenic) political-cultural forces, and this odd sect that's coming through.
early modern pedantry: diggers and anabaptists aren't medieval.

i don't really care about this general debate but since we're talking about early christian antisemitism it bothers me that 'good samaritan' as a term for a helpful bystander is so ubiquitous since the story it comes from is pretty obviously intended to defame contemporaneous cohanim + levites at the expense of a splinter heresy

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
interpretations differ across christian history but the basic understanding of "don't pay much attn to existing social hierarchies, look at what people do" is right there p much

if there's one thing i've learned from two millennia of christianity it's that obvious interpretations of scripture aren't.

the story means many things but one of those things is undeniably a broadside against jewish religious life [in the second temple era]. the subtext is that you'd expect men of holy castes like the kahunnah or a levite to be charitable but they are too wrapped up in their dogma + laws + stringencies. they aren't just members of a social hierarchy - they were the priests of the second temple. i think it needs to be read in the context of replacement theology in general.

From the google translation of the q&a:
There is a whole reform, which should be taken at the global level, with respect to this commitment, acceptance of immigrants. But it is a matter of relative: the absolute heart is open to receive. That is absolute! With prayers, intercession to do what I can. The relative is the way I can do this: not everyone can do it in the same way. But the problem is global! Exploitation of creation and exploitation of people. We celebrate the event of the destruction of man as the image of God.And I would like to conclude this aspect, because it conceals it behind him ideologies. In Europe, in America, in Latin America, in Africa, in some Asian countries there is a real ideological colonization. One of them - I say this clearly from the "name" - is gender! Today, children in school - just kids! - Taught in school: that everyone can choose their gender. And why do they teach? Since textbooks impose those individuals and institutions that give money. This is the ideological colonization, supported also by the very influential countries. And it's terrible. When I talked with Pope Benedict, who is doing well and has a bright idea, he told me: "Your Holiness, this era of sin against God the Creator." That's clever! God created man and woman; God created the world in such a concrete way, and we do the opposite. God has given us the state of the "original", we made it culture; and then from this culture we do things that lead us to the "original". The words spoken by Benedict XVI should prompt us to think: "This is the era of sin against God the Creator." This reflection will help us.

Cops raided the apartment in late June after neighbors voiced concern about multiple people acting strangely while streaming in and out of the residence, the newspaper reported Wednesday.
Once police were inside the apartment, they said they found multiple men engaged in rampant drug use and homosexual activity.
They then arrested the priest — an aide to one of Pope Francis’ key advisers — after taking him to a clinic to detox from the drugs he’d ingested.
The unnamed aide is now on a spiritual retreat in a convent in Italy, the paper said.

inevitable casting, no?
Fernando Meirelles (City of God) will “direct an untitled film centered on the relationship between Pope Benedict and Pope Francis” for Netflix. “Benedict will be played by Anthony Hopkins and Francis will be played by Jonathan Pryce.”

John Paul II was pure evil, though. He was the Reagan of the modern papacy, standing by as hundreds of thousands of people died of AIDS. Francis is at least marginally better

Cal, it's not something I'm invested in, hugely! It seems that Francis is a better man, by several orders of magnitude, than any other pope in living history and maybe ever.
