A Theological Dialogue with Erri de Luca: Prayer, Alterity, and Forgiveness

A Theological Dialogue with Erri de Luca: Prayer, Alterity, and Forgiveness

by Lennon Caranzo | Nov 22, 2025 | Literature

I came across Erri de Luca’s Nocciolo d’oliva (Edizione Messaggero Padova, 2002) in my Fundamental Theology class in my first year (way back in 2021). Our professor discussed this book in its Spanish translation, Hueso de aceituna (Sígueme, 2021) and I wrote this...

Defining human through the non-human: an anthropology through the lens of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis

by Lennon Caranzo | Nov 3, 2024 | Literature, Philosophy

Last year, after reading Chesterton and Tolkien as Theologians by Alison Milbank (Bloomsbury, 2009; I read the Spanish translation titled La teología de Chesterton y Tolkien, Granada: Editorial Nuevo Inicio, 2022), I fell into the rabbit hole of devouring every Lord...

Tamang Usapan (usapang may tama)

Tamang Usapan o usapang may tama. Heto ang podcast ni Lennon at Russel. Isang online space ng kwentuhan ng magkaibigang maraming gustong sabihin. Minsan tama madalas may tama.

Usapang Video Games at Violence
byLennon and Russel

Tuwing may masamang balita tungkol sa karahasan—lalo na kung kabataan ang sangkot—laging may isang unang tinuturo: video games. Pero what if mali tayo ng tinutumbok? What if mas malalim at mas malapit sa atin ang totoong ugat ng problema?

Sa episode na ito, sinusuri nina Lennon at Russel ang debate na ito nang seryoso, hindi lang bilang depensa ng mga gamer, kundi bilang tunay na cultural at spiritual reckoning. Kasi hindi lang tungkol sa laro ito. Tungkol ito sa kalagayan ng pamilyang Pilipino, sa media na kinoconsumo natin araw-araw, at sa unti-unting pagkalimot natin sa values natin.

Aabangan mo rito:

  • Mga scientific studies na nagpapabulaan sa direktang koneksyon ng violent video games sa totoong karahasan at kung bakit mas malaking factor pa rin ang lipunan mismo.
  • Paano unti-unting naaagnas ang modern Filipino values. Mula sa nawawalang integridad ng pamilya hanggang sa lumalabong respeto sa buhay ng tao.
  • Ang papel ng media, edukasyon, at pulitika sa paghubog ng isang kulturang nagpapaubaya sa halip na kumundena sa karahasan.
  • Bakit discernment, hindi demonization, ang turo ng Simbahan pagdating sa entertainment at paano pa nga pala pwedeng maging daan ng evangelization at pagpapalago ng virtues ang video games, kung tama ang gabay.
  • Practical na payo para sa mga magulang at guro kung paano balansehin ang libangan at responsibilidad dahil moderation at discernment, hindi ban, ang sagot dito.

Kung nag-aalala ka sa kalagayang espirituwal ng kabataan, sa integridad ng kulturang Pilipino, o gusto mo lang ng mas matinong pananaw sa isyung ito na laging pinapainit sa social media, para sa iyo ang episode na ito.

Kasi hindi lang ito usapang video games. Usapan ito tungkol sa kaluluwa nating mga Pilipino, at sa kinabukasan ng lipunan natin.
