Hey! I'm originally from Italy, and yes, you do get stamps in "tabaccheria", the place where you get cigarettes and tobacco (and also lotto tickets). That is because the State in Italy has the monopoly on tobacco, stamps, and gambling. So they sell all of those items in one place. Not an old wives' tale but an actual fact, Father Gregory! :)
Why do both of you have ivory tusks growing out of your ears? Btw, great discussions. Also Fr Gregory that was a brilliant addition @43:11 - on the implications of original sin - not about something being added but taken away and the furrows/memories of it lingering.
Fr. Bonaventure said something to this effect: In obedience (to proper authorities), one gets to practice humility and grow in it, without having to go through humiliation. 🤍 Love that. Previously, I thought, it'd only be through a humiliating experience that one learns humility. But wait, Fr. Bonaventure, you also declared that men and women have different souls. That totally got my attention. Perhaps I misunderstood what you said. Philosophically, how are they different? And if they can't be different, why? What are the theological implications? Maybe you can tackle this in another Live Q&A episode, please? Thank you, Fathers! Praying for you! 🕊️🙏🙏🙏
Stay tuned for upcoming content on that subject! The differences in male and female souls could absolutely be it's own episode, or the topic of an upcoming Livesplaining
Same, highly interested in the masculine and feminine souls. I was studying some Theology of the Body and it touched on this topic too, how the feminine tend to receive and the masculine, to give (perhaps that is why as the Fathers said, female mystics have the spousal analogy with God, who is masculine.) And that in Heaven, our sexuality won't really be erased but all the more glorified and more integrated, something like that.
The Divine Counsel concept sounds like what Mary of Agreda described in the beginning of the first volume of The Mystical City of God. Hmm, opening myself to humiliation…
Have you ever heard of this relic - a box containing the darkness over Egypt? True story, an OP brother told me that years ago. I laughed so hard🤣🤣. So periodically I like relaying that story. Have a great day.
Fr GP: "I won't add too terribly much more to this than, Wow!". I love your erudition Fr GP, and Fr BC's possibly potentially even more 🤣🤣🤣

I am very excited about hearing this one. Espescially with all the increasing fragmentation of gender in the culture much good might come out of this.
