Not an easy task, anyway.<br />For what concerns the nature of our site, I may just say that it is Aristotelian-Thomist from the philosophical standpoint, Roman Catholic from the religious standpoint, and critical of the Darwinian paradigm from the epistemological standpoint. Plus, we're all hardcore fans of the ol' good Galileian scientific method - to which we always try to stick in our reflections.<br />Finally, I would like to thank again TOF for the opportunity he gave us to let a little bit of his activity known to a larger audience!Michele Forastierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396638290269124746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-8861187296814713682014-02-17T22:07:43.839-05:002014-02-17T22:07:43.839-05:00Until an expert comes along: I set the English and...Until an expert comes along: I set the English and Italian beside each other and compared random passages.

It's perfectly ordinary to eat cookies for breakfast in Italy and ice cream for breakfast in Sicily (clear signs of an ancient and advanced civilization), so I think you could reasonably have, say, a tiramisu for breakfast in honor of your translation to a distant realm.Xena Catolicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-78978911679506232022014-02-17T10:31:17.826-05:002014-02-17T10:31:17.826-05:00That is enjoyable in so many ways.
