Finally my article on sex toys - the only thing I ever written about something that isn't sad or depressing - is out! Jokes aside, this comes from a great collaboration with Gabi de la Vega and her MA thesis work and I'm so happy about this!

Continuo a leggere libri ambientati a Barcellona, “Il meglio che possa capitare ad una brioche”, di Pablo Tusset, presenta un protagonista di rara antipatia (almeno per me), ma ha effettivamente anche momenti comici e assurdi

Just read: “Miss Iceland”. I loved this book, especially because it’s about a young woman being determined in following her passion, writing. In a world where everyone wants to be “miss Iceland”, a main character who wants to be looked at for her brains and not her beauty is very much refreshing

Today's reading suggestion is Heidi Campbell's "Digital Creatives and the Rethinking of Religious Authority" I keep going back to this framework when I write about authority, and I even had the pleasure to do an online response to this book: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvub...

Just read: “the invisible life of Addie LaRue”. What happens when you do a deal with the devil and you live forever but nobody remembers you? I love the idea of the book, I didn’t like the ending very much, but it’s beautifully written.

Today's listening suggestion is the Classical Ideas Podcast, by Greg Soden. @gregsoden.bsky.social classicalideaspodcast.libsyn.com I am biased because I did an episode years ago, but it's THE podcast if you want to know what's going on in religious studies

- it isn't very smart for the Pope or any member of the US clergy to condemn migration, given that many US Catholics have a migration background. Also, Catholicism should preach inclusion of the marginalized... so Pope Leo maybe is just being Catholic?

Recently, Trump posted something interesting on his social media Truth. He criticized pope Leo XIV for being "weak on crime" and "terrible", saying that he was on the list to become Pope only because he's American. So, I feel I need to clarify a couple of things:

And even the Vatican publishes a calendar, the Calendario Gregoriano, with 12 hot priests This contributes to the rise of good-looking influencer priests. But is the Vatican happy about it?

Are there "hot" priests in the Catholic Church? Everyone is famous for 15 minutes, mine were an interview for @artefr.bsky.social on the topic of hot priests. Pop culture often explored this topic, just think about Fleabag, or Raul Bova playing Don Matteo in Italy
