Moved and confused
I just read a haunting, lyrical piece by Spengler at the Asia Times about Music and the Catholic Church. How could I not love an article with a quote like this "The Biblical notion that human suffering moves the creator of heaven and earth, such that this creator cannot help but attend to the cry of the widow and fatherless, the ugly and the crippled, appears orthogonal to the Greek concept of beauty and harmony. It is a crude, shocking, baseless claim which, for better or worse, is far and away the most influential idea in human history."
