Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test
(I found the quiz while browsing the De Civitate Dei blog).
Coincidentally, I have just started reading Dante's Purgatorio. Right now I am with the late repentant at the base of the mountain. At one canto per day, I will be in Purgatory a long time.
Started reading the Purgatorio a couple nights ago; found and posted the Inferno Quiz last night; then earlier this evening, I went to a Tatiana concert hosted by my parish. Toward the end of the show, Tatiana's six-year old son Dante joined her briefly to sing "I do believe".
ReplyDeleteCoincidence? Well yes, sometimes seemingly-related events do occur in juxtaposition just by chance. Still, it is like a little chapter in my life.
Or throw in a conversation I had three nights ago about the big things (does G-d exist, why are we here) along with some foot dragging about getting my personal life in order, and we have a salutary reminder of mortality and Divine Judgment.
Enough navel gazing for one night.
The translation and commentary by Charles Singleton is also highly regarded.
