#catholicism — Public Fediverse posts

My name is Gregory Magnus. I was named for a Catholic saint who gave away his entire family fortune, turned his Roman mansion into a monastery, and still ended up running the whole Church. He essentially invented medieval bureaucracy — and found time to overhaul church music while he was at it. Funny how the man who organized everything *except* his own retirement somehow feels right at home on the internet.

Snakes in The Garden of Innocence
=======================

After days of hiking, the missionaries came across a tribe living in isolation from civilization. The tribals were surprised to see outsiders, but were very welcoming and hospitable, showing the missionaries around the village, like children, excited to have guests, and eager to show them around their little world. They usually walked around nude, wearing nothing but flowers and smiles. They laughed a lot, the loud laughter of carefree people. In a few days, the missionaries had learned some of their mellifluous language. They told the tribals to receive the Word of God, and become Christians, which greatly confused the tribe. The missionaries pushed on, telling them that they had to be saved, which caused the tribe to guffaw, and roar with laughter. A silver haired matriarch spoke up and said they were fine, and didn't understand what they needed to be saved from. Frustrated, a missionary put a movie on his laptop to keep the tribe busy, while the missionaries held a meeting to discuss how to convert these heathen. While they were in the meeting, the tribe gathered around the laptop, and watched "The Passion of The Christ", transfixed. After watching the movie, the whole tribe made a beeline to be saved, with aghast expressions.

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 137

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 You, Me and The Movies React To Lone Wolf McQuade – It has been a few months since the movie legend Chuck Norris passed away at age 86. He left behind a legacy of action movies and even played Bruce Lee’s tough opponent in The Way of the Dragon. Norris also had action movies filmed on location here in my native Philippines. In the 1980s, Norris appeared in a lot movies that involved guns and hard action, and one of his more notable films of the time was 1983’s Lone Wolf McQuade in which he faced off with fellow action star David Carradine. Recently, You, Me and the Movies posted their reaction video of Lone Wolf McQuade and it is entertaining to watch. I urge you to watch it now.

#2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Invasion U.S.A. Video – Still focused on the late Chuck Norris, his 1985 action movie Invasion U.S.A. was not merely made to entertain moviegoers with lots of explosions, dangerous stunts and hard action. Norris read an article in Reader’s Digest about the presence of hundreds of terrorists running loose in the United States which impacted him as he care about his country and his fellow Americans. This eventually led to the making of Invasion U.S.A. which succeeded commercially as it spread awareness to the American people as to how they can defend themselves in the event foreign terrorists invade their country. Today, Islamic terrorism as well as the entrance of Islamo-Leftist foreigners into America made this 1985 more socially relevant. The story behind the production of Invasion U.S.A. is pretty fascinating, and you can learn more about by watch Minty Comedic Arts’ video below.

#3 Signature Bowls of Happiness in Japan – Do you eat meals served in bowls often? Meals in bowls are common in Japan where rice and noodles are eaten by people daily. Among the many food joints in Japan that offer meals in bowls to customers are a few standouts visited by Nippon TV. What they discovered are very enticing, attractive and delicious to look at. Watch and learn from their video below.

#4 Ranting For Vengeance Slams CBR And Others Who Hate 1980s Anime – I grew up watching lots of anime shows and feature films early in life and the 1980s is a memorable decade. It was during the 1980s when I saw anime productions from the 1970s and the newest ones of the decade. To name some, I saw the 1980s Astro Boy series, Galaxy Express 999, Captain Future, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Voltes V, Daimos, Mazinger Z and others. While such old anime productions proved to be entertaining, there are still some people out there who bashed them because those productions (and their stories) did not align with their modern day woke agenda. The popular geek entertainment portal CBR published lots of articles saying that the old anime productions did not age well and a lot of readers and netizens followed suit. As such, Ranting for Vengeance slammed them and stood up for 1980s anime backed with detailed explanations. If you are a true fan of anime, watch the video below.

#5 Western Women Who Embraced Islam End Up Wrong – Did you notice that there is a growing number of women in the West who embraced Islam believing the fantasies that it is a religion of peace and is feminist? Indeed, there are these modern-day feminists who considered themselves Islamic without even fully knowing what Islam truly is, why Sharia Law is wicked and what was recorded in the Quran. SaharTV posted several videos about these newcomers to Islam (including one new Muslim woman who was Catholic) who ended up being very wrong and embarrassed. Watch the SaharTV videos below.

#6 The Significance Of Spider-Man 2099 Explained – In late 1992, Marvel Comics launched Spider-Man 2099 #1 which also marked the start of their 2099 franchise of comic books. Under the direction of writer Peter David with artworks done mainly by Rick Leonardi, the futuristic Spider-Man really stood out differently from the classic Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and his own place under Marvel Comics’ banner was established well. Spider-Man 2099 is clearly the most popular of all the Marvel 2099 titles. That said, I found this YouTube video that examines the significance of Spider-Man of 2099. I encourage you to watch it.

#7 Ashleigh Burton’s Reaction To Witness – The 1980s will always be a memorable decade of Harrison Ford’s cinematic performances. During that decade, he appeared in two Star Wars movies and he was the center of attraction in the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Along the way, he appeared in the 1985 crime thriller film Witness in which he played a police detective protecting an Amish woman and her son. The movie earned several Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and even Best Actor for Harrison Ford. Lately, Ashleigh Burton posted her reaction video of Witness and I encourage you to watch it.

It is no coincidence that the mandorla — the almond-shaped halo around Christ or the Virgin Mary — mirrors the vulva’s form. Named after the Italian for “almond,” it symbolises the threshold between worlds, the sacred gateway through which divine light and incarnation enter the human realm.

Abstract

This interview with Tauya Chinama—a Zimbabwean freethinker, educator, and human-rights advocate—traces an intellectual and moral transition from religious training toward agnosticism and, ultimately, apatheism. Chinama recounts how sustained engagement with theodicy (the attempt to reconcile an all-good, all-powerful God with pervasive suffering) undermined his prior commitments, as real-world pain and injustice outpaced the explanatory power of familiar theological defences. He critiques common responses to evil grounded in free will or determinism, arguing that each fails to preserve the traditional attributes of God while offering little ethical clarity for human responsibility. Alongside philosophical concerns, Chinama highlights the psychological and social costs of departing faith-based institutions—stigmatization, ostracism, and the demand for personal resilience. The conversation culminates in a secular moral orientation: that human beings are “on our own” in the sense that alleviating suffering and building justice are human tasks, not deferred to divine intervention.

Introduction

Tauya Chinama is a Zimbabwean freethinker, educator, and advocate for human rights and cultural preservation whose intellectual path runs through the dense intersection of philosophy, theology, and lived moral experience. Trained in religious study and once oriented toward priesthood, he gradually came to view the traditional problem of evil not as a technical puzzle for theologians, but as a sustained challenge to intellectual honesty. For Chinama, theodicy is not merely a debate about metaphysical consistency; it is a test of whether a worldview can confront the reality of disability, disease, natural disasters, and human vulnerability without dissolving into contradiction or moral deflection.

In this short exchange, Scott Douglas Jacobsen invites Chinama to articulate the central question that shaped his training and the turning points that reoriented his identity—from believer, to agnostic, to what he calls an apatheist with “a touch of cosmopolitanism.” Chinama examines standard theological responses to suffering, critiques their logical coherence, and describes the personal consequences of choosing candour over conformity inside religious institutions. The interview also gestures beyond metaphysics toward a practical ethical conclusion: if suffering persists without reliable divine remedy, then responsibility for justice and compassion rests squarely with human beings and the societies they build.

Main Text (Interview)

Title: Tauya Chinama on Theodicy, Humanism, and Preserving Zimbabwe’s Cultural Heritage

Interviewer: Scott Douglas Jacobsen

Interviewees: Tauya Chinama

Tauya Chinama is a Zimbabwean freethinker, educator, and advocate for human rights and cultural preservation. Trained in philosophy and theology, he transitioned from religious study to humanism, emphasizing intellectual honesty, dialogue, and heritage-based education. As a teacher of heritage studies, he works to integrate indigenous knowledge and languages into learning systems, arguing that language carries culture, history, and identity. Chinama is active in Zimbabwe’s humanist movement, contributing to interfaith dialogues, academic research, and public discourse on secularism, ethics, and education reform. He champions the preservation of Shona and Ndebele while critiquing systemic barriers that weaken local language education.

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: When you were doing your training, what was your main specialization? What was the core research question?

Tauya Chinama: I had several questions, but my primary focus was on theodicy: the relationship between the existence of God and the problem of evil.

That was the question that led me to think more deeply. Years ago, I preached about an omniscient, omnipotent, all-good God. But then I looked at the reality: people who are disabled, people dying in natural disasters, people dying from diseases. Why is God not ending all this suffering? Where is he? Is he enjoying it?

The key issue is theodicy. The Greek words are theos (God) and dike (justice). Is it just for God to allow these things to happen? That question pulled me further. I came to feel that I could act more justly as a human being than the God being preached, who supposedly is capable of ending poverty, disease, disability, and natural disasters, but does not. Why should I believe in him? Why should I revere him?

The realization was: we are on our own. We are responsible, and we must act to address what is happening to us. That was the key lesson that pushed me from being a believer to an agnostic, and then to what I now call an apatheist—a person indifferent to God’s existence. Today, I describe myself as an apatheist with a touch of cosmopolitanism.

Jacobsen: For theodicy, what were the standard arguments? How did theologians justify evil, suffering, and pain?

Chinama: A number of them talked about free will. Others leaned on determinism. But this did not make sense to me. If we say that human beings have free will, then it means God is not omniscient—he does not know everything that will happen before it occurs. If he knows it all, then free will does not exist.

On the other hand, if determinism is true, then we are simply victims of a plan. We cannot resist; we can only follow the flow. We are what Martin Heidegger might call Dasein—a being-toward-death. We are thrown into existence, moving toward death, with limited choice. That line of argument, whether from free will or determinism, did not make sense to me.

It could not resolve the harm and suffering I saw in the world. The defences of theologians like St. Augustine of Hippo also did not persuade me. Augustine introduced the doctrine of original sin and linked sexuality to sin, claiming virginity was a higher state. But none of this made sense to me. He had emerged from Manichaean philosophy, which emphasized dualism—light and darkness, good and evil as opposing forces. His framework seemed more like a leftover from dualism than a convincing defence of Christian doctrine.

Jacobsen: Was it the weakness of the theological arguments for God in the face of evil that made you drift away? Or was it the strength of non-religious arguments that convinced you to adopt a non-religious way of looking at life?

Chinama: It was both. When you look at the theological arguments and test them through logic—a branch of philosophy about correct reasoning—you quickly see the conclusions do not follow from the premises. That leaves you confused.

So I moved from being a believer to an agnostic, saying, “Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps I am right.” Over time, you sober up. Sometimes you even become militant, but then you realize militancy does not work. You calm down, or you risk messing things up.

I remember when I was training to be a priest. I confided in a particular Indian priest—I will not give his name—that I was slowly losing my faith. He told me something shocking: that many high-ranking figures in the Catholic Church, including bishops and cardinals, do not actually believe the doctrines they defend.

I was surprised. Here were people defending the Church’s teachings every day, yet privately admitting they did not believe them. He even told me he had gone through the same phase and had never fully recovered his faith. His advice was: “Do not fight it. Just go with the flow.”

But I felt I was too honest to live that way. I could not simply go along with something I did not believe.

Jacobsen: In the end, was your decision to leave a faith-based position and move to a non-religious position more an intellectual exercise, or more about changing how you felt? Or was it a little of both?

Chinama: It was both. Several factors led me to change. It was an intellectual practice, but also an emotional realization that what I thought religion was turned out not to be. The whole motivation collapsed, and I was left with no choice but to withdraw.

I do not regret it, but it was a hard decision. There is stigmatization, ostracism, and other consequences that come with choosing such a path. It is serious—you need to be mentally strong. For me, it was primarily intellectual, but I also required mental resilience to overcome it.

Jacobsen: Thank you for your time today, Tauya.

Discussion

Chinama’s account frames apostasy (or, more precisely, disengagement) less as rebellion than as an evidence-driven recalibration: when the promises of an omniscient, omnipotent, all-good deity collide with a world saturated in undeserved suffering, the explanatory burden becomes acute. The interview’s philosophical centre is his dissatisfaction with the standard repertoire of theodicies—especially those that appeal to free will or determinism. In his reading, free-will defences struggle to preserve divine foreknowledge without hollowing out freedom, while deterministic accounts risk portraying human beings as trapped in a plan that renders moral protest performative. The result is not merely a theoretical impasse; it is a moral one, because the justifications appear unable to honour the gravity of suffering they seek to explain.

A second theme is integrity under institutional pressure. Chinama’s recollection of confiding in a priest—who suggested that some senior Church figures privately disbelieve doctrines they publicly defend—introduces a sociological dimension: religious systems can incentivize outward loyalty even when inward conviction erodes. Chinama presents his exit as a refusal to inhabit that split. This casts “deconversion” not only as an intellectual event but as an ethical stance against performative belief, sustained by psychological resilience in the face of stigma and ostracism.

Finally, the conversation resolves toward a secular ethic of responsibility. Chinama’s apatheism is not portrayed as cynicism; it is a posture of indifference toward unverifiable divine claims paired with heightened concern for human action. The implicit thesis is that moral seriousness survives the collapse of theological certainty—and may even sharpen under it—because the work of reducing suffering cannot be outsourced to providence. In that sense, the interview is less about losing faith than about relocating duty: from the heavens, back to the hands of human beings.
