I'm in the middle of a three-post series on the Divine Comedy, which is my stock in trade. When this is done, I plan to start doing articles on the Summa, going article(s) by articles(s) at a time and doing a running commentary, since I want to review it over the summer. Anyone who is interested is welcome to comment on these things, as long as it is kept not just civil, but amicable! I am relatively certain that at least most of my readership is Catholic and by God, we'll be one, "ut unum sint", if I have to moderate the Hell out of things. :-D
(And, the Inferno being my specialty, I am not afraid of moderating the Hell out of things.)
Anyhow, I hope people enjoy the postings!

Would you, by any chance, be interested in seeing a parody of the DC, set to the tune of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (movements 1, 2 and 4), and annotated to within an inch of its life? I warn you that it's quite, quite puerile; and, having converted to Catholicism since I wrote it, I'm embarrassed by much of it. Still, it's always been only in fun, and it's sui generis in some ways, I suppose. Pardon the maundering.
ReplyDeleteA parody of the Divine Comedy, set to Beethoven's 5th? O_o Sure, I guess! :-D Do send it to me, much obliged.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog... and tales / posts about how Catholic beer rocks are more than welcome ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, that goes without saying. :-D
ReplyDeleteYou can download a copy of "The Defined Comedy" here: http://www.perfspot.com/docs/doc.asp?id=9536
ReplyDeleteUnder "Additional Info" on the right is a pdf link. There's a good deal of pseudo-theological bunkum in the opening pages; the parody proper begins on page 12.
While the pseudo-theological bunkum is indeed pure horse puckey, the parody is rather inspired and reminds me of some of the funnier bits of the Abridged Shakespeare Company's Complete Works. Thank you! :-D
