father dean's wisdom

unforgettable quips by fr. enrico gonzales from the recently held seminar on philosophy (the nexus of ethics and moral theology)

"there is a big difference when you say that a relation is substantial. it's as thick as the soup that siena sisters serve to me in their convent. masustansya."

philosophers must think out of the box. sometimes there are disjunctive things that you can actually take as conjunctive, just like faith and reason, mary's virginity and motherhood -- you just have to think out of the box.

ethics that focuses on law leads to the finding of ways on how to bend it.

"I dont believe in the Apostle's Creed, I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ..." (onga naman. hehe)

conscience should have a face. ang konsensyang walang mukha, ay sa taong walang hiya (oo nga ano? that's so levinasian.)
