He went back to China and took active part in debates linking Europe and eastern Asia, such as Chinese Catholic inculturation. Produced a Chinese language version of Aesop's Fables, to boot.
A truly global personality, from the 1600s.

Nicolas Trigault is one of the most fascinating individuals I've learned about recently.
A Jesuit who went from the Spanish Netherlands to China while quite young. Sent back to Rome, passed through India and Egypt on his way. Cultivated relationships across Europe. pic.twitter.com/9oZ7M4pOAd

It's even worse when it's vicarious living from someone older. You're 24 and met someone you'd love to start a family with, but parent/grandparent/boss just offers snark?
Sanity check: look at their life. Bad marriage, divorce, failed dreams = maybe something else is going on. twitter.com/TaraAnnThieke/…

The 1600s was one of the strangest periods in history. Early modernity saw global trade and info networks coexist with the height of witch trials and demonic possession (more than medieval period!). Ships had corporate agents and bookkeepers bunking with Franciscan exorcists.

This was a wonderful short work. Could do a thread on it.

"Thus I see in the intellect the power of the grain of the mustard seed; if it should be unfolded as actuality, this sensible world would not suffice...not even ten or a thousand, indeed not even so many worlds as one could enumerate."

It's incredible how rude people get toward large families (4+ kids).
They get the wildest flack, from "how sad for your mom" to "you're bad for the planet" ethical condemnation. I expect the latter to get more common.
Thanks to big families. You're building the future. 🙏

The set of fables model is the first of the therapeutics, to my mind. I do agree that it *can* be a good route.
But John submits to Peter, and the mystic to the bishop/spiritual director. There can never be separation between these, which is what I'm wary of here.

It's not ultimately so different from either secularized social christianity or the various new age and syncretist movements, whatever the silicon valley packaging. None of these have had much staying power.
