In this episode, the dogs talk about football clock management (03:38), European soccer (05:44), steroids in baseball (08:00), and Deflategate (09:20). They reach resounding consensus over whether baseball should get rid of the home plate umpire (12:38) and their conversation about the use of technology moves from sports to the liturgy (27:06). Mike brings up the use of projectors in Mass (26:49) and Connor apples the hierarchy of values as a way to respect Ekklesia in the modern world (31:17).

 

Quotes:

“Reality is complicated.” (Connor, 22:45)

“A thing is beautiful if it’s revealing what it is.” (Mike, 34:40)

“There’s a big component to the liturgy on this side of death when we behold the face of God that is massively mysterious.” (Mike, 36:26)

“Liturgy is getting caught up into the other with others.” (Mike, 37:00)

“In another few years everybody around will have grown up in a world that is haunted and infected with too many screens; it’s a disembodied world.” (Connor, 37:25)
