Poor man that he thinks Woody Allen is worth such consideration.

A priest spending that much time worrying about what a pedophile thinks of the world??? Let’s not discuss morality and meaning with someone who believes abusing kids is ok if you really want it.

A priest sympathizing with a pedophile?
I think I’ll just let that one lay there. No comment needed.

To characterize artistic beauty as a mere distraction from the psychological oppression of nihilism is a tragic reductionism. I understand this. I still think Richard Weaver had it right about art. It is our conscious effort to keep from slipping into the illusion that we are not in any way free from nature.

If his beliefs are that bleak and devoid of hope he is obviously a JINO.....Jewish in Name Only.

Woody's been talking like that for 50 years.
It's part of his shtick.
No point in anybody taking him seriously about the meaning of life (or anything else).

The great Christian theologians interacted with and critiqued the secular thinkers and writers of their times.
How can you refute something you can't understand?
How can you evangelize someone if you don't know their language?

It’s amazing how many people think that Accusation equals Guilt. May it never happen to them.

I once lived for a time on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
I met many Woody Allens there, most of them a lot better at being Woody Allen than the little movie twerp. I also met many Kramers, and more than a few Seinfelds.
Quite something, '60s NYC!

Pearls before swine. Best to clap the dust off your sandals and find someone willing to listen to Christ’s truth.

Allen invented the ‘Woody Allen’ persona in the ‘60s for stand up routines. It’s been imitated many times.
