Salutation
I'm Chrysostom. Or at least that's my handle. I'm a twenty-something
Einstein was creative. I may be a genious [
sic: as a creationist, I'm surely not a
genus!] but I lack the spark of creativity: the best I can ever do is to stand on the shoulders of giants :-)
I study
ACT
respectively, and have pursued higher education: I may have not.
I'm discerning a vocation to the
religion is the opiate of the masses
" drivel.
I feel attracted to the
Priestly Fraternity of St Peter
) on some level, albeit not (yet) equivalent to my calling to the scholarly religious life.
I am a strong believer in Neutral Point of View. Whatever my personal feelings on a subject, I do not let it interfere with my professional detachment towards edits made to Wikipedia (unless I fall prey to megalomaniacal point of view: in any case, I at least think I'm neutral). However, all bets are off on my user and talk pages, where neutral writing will be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Some Interests
My interests include
Eastern
tradition.
I am a "
SSPX
traditionalist.
I'm a strong
Christian Socialist, as that ideology was originally conceived - not necessarily how it's evolved in modern Europe - with some elements of
traditionalist conservatism. (It's all of the rest of you that are becoming so liberal as to make me appear a reactionary in comparison!)
Languages
I have also an interest and an aptitude for
Saint Thomas Aquinas
's thought, to which I am greatly indebted - thought and wrote.
For this same reason - that of historical research in to the Scriptures - I have an low-intermediate (likely 1.5) proficiency in
Masoretic text of the
Old Testament, even though the Masoretic text dates to a later period, and preserves a less ancient recension of a different textual tradition than the LXX, which often agrees with the
Dead Sea Scrolls over against the MT. I can read the
script of Aramaic (and
Syriac), but insofar as understanding goes, it's limited to cognates in Hebrew and Arabic and similarities in grammar: I am unable to read the Aramaic sections of the Bible, such as much of
The Book of Daniel the Prophet or
targumim or the ancient Syriac translation, the
Peshitta, with any proficiency.
For many reasons, one similar, I embarked on the study of
in all levels of society then as there is today) and all of the developments it either developed directly or helped to incubate, including the beautiful Christian religion that bloomed within its borders even under oppressive persecution (not the best chapter of Rome's history). I'm still not sure whether I love Catholicism because it is Roman, or whether I love Rome because it gave its namesake to Catholicism, or a co-mingling - literally, a con-fusion, in the original sense of the term - of both.
To my regret, I placed little importance on non-English languages for much of my early life for myriad reasons, and even became actively hostile to them at one point to better "fit in" to American culture. Due to this, my
linguistic abilities have undergone
attrition, and I can not speak nor write them nearly as well as I might have been able to: also, I could be over-reacting by comparing my abilities in other languages to those I have with English, in which case they must by necessity seem to me to be inferior, even if they are not in fact.
I have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of
"). I achieved my goal and read, and understood, the Koran - insofar as it can be understood, about 15% of it being nonsensical no matter the skill of the interpreter.
Computer Science
I am also a
interesting stuff (and more) is: I have barely any interest in higher-level programming or the languages used to perform most of it, such as
Java.
Statement of Faith: We believe "the cloud" is already outdated and outmoded, a
