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.

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).

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.

Rises to the level of intellectual porn, this article. Poe described it as “the Imp of the Perverse” - that tendency of overly precious humans to fall into quandaries over effete issues of arts and letters. My my my.

Woody Alien sounds like a bad sci-fi film ready to be made.

The 100 years are almost up, all of the young are hidden in safe underground bunkers and everyone else is going to soon be washed away but the job of entertainers to give those facing death a diversion never ends.

Tough job there probably

She describes the experience of seeing something truly beautiful — an object, a work of art, a lovely person, etc. — and she remarks that this experience carries with it a kind of aura, for it lifts the observer to a consideration of the Beautiful itself, the source of all particular beauty.

I feel the same way when listening to Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major. My spirit just soars.

Woody is such a creep - I expected him to take his own worthless life before Robin Williams, Allen has always seem the type for that to me.
