RIP Lou Holtz.

Somebody wrote a great comment recently about “if a person can’t imagine something, they can’t have discussions about it.”

Anybody remember where that might be? I can’t recall if it was a post or a comment.

Miracle Plays and Mysteries (Religious Dramas)

Miracle Plays and Mysteries were religious dramas that developed in Christian nations during the late Middle Ages, originating from liturgical services and evolving into large-scale public performances. These plays were deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, with their roots tracing back to the 9th and 10th centuries, when simple dramatizations of Gospel passages—such as the Quem Quæritis dialogue at Easter—were performed within churches.

Mystery Plays were based on biblical narratives, dramatizing events from the Creation to the Last Judgment. They reached their peak in the 15th century and were often performed in cycles by town guilds, with each guild responsible for a specific episode. Famous examples include the York Mystery Plays (48 pageants), the Towneley Plays, and the Chester Cycle. These performances were typically staged on pageant wagons moving through city streets, often lasting multiple days.

Miracle Plays focused on the lives and miracles of saints, particularly those associated with feast days and religious festivals like Corpus Christi. Notable examples include The Miracle of Theophilus by Rutebeuf and plays centered on the miracles of Our Lady. These were performed in vernacular languages and often incorporated comic or secular elements to engage audiences.

These two names are used to designate the religious drama which developed among Christian nations at the end of the Middle Ages. It should be noted that the word "mystery" has often been applied to all Christian dramas prior to the sixteenth century, whereas it should be confined to those of the fifteenth century, which represent the great dramatic effort anterior to the Renaissance. Before this period dramatic pieces were called "plays" or "miracles". The embryonic representations, at first given in the interior of the churches, have been designated as liturgical dramas.

something as an alternative to secular theater / film today?

Gibs me that back! Hehehehe

This Law needs to be passed in Every Christian Nation being flooded with incompatible 3rd Worlders by Globalists: Denmark has announced a major legal reform to make it easier to deport foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes.

Any non-Danish citizen who is sentenced to at least 1 year in prison for serious offences, such as aggravated assault, rape or similar violent crimes, would be automatically eligible for deportation back to their country of origin.

This would apply regardless of how long the person has lived in Denmark or other ties they have in the country.

The reform is meant to take effect from 1 May 2026, assuming the legislation passes the Danish parliament.

The Danish government has acknowledge that the policy could clash with international human-rights rules but said it is necessary for public safety.

...Dog Woo...

The being of two people can differ from one another more than the being of a mineral and of an animal. This is exactly what people do not understand. And they do not understand that knowledge depends on being. Not only do they not understand this latter but they definitely do not wish to understand it.
