fucking going mental over this manย
Church: ok youโre a priest now. Maybe stop being a doctor?
Ficino: how about no? how about i never stop?
Church:ย
Ficino: how about I develop theological underpinnings for my continuing to be a doctor because I love being a doctor? I shall do this alongside creating new theological underpinnings to support my obsession with Plato and my deep, all consuming love for Cavalcanti, whom I call Hero because he is my hero and my most perfect friend.ย
Church:ย
Church: fine. i guess. ?
#Ficino did walk the thin line of New Theological Thought and Heresy#he crossed it a few times for sure#I love him your honour#marsilio ficino#marsilio blogging#early modern italy#15th century#history#obscure early modern Florence blogging#piero soderini#love a shout out to my favourite gonfaloniere#Machiavelli: COULD HAVE USED A SPINE THOUGH#Soderini: hush#Soderini: I tried to get you at least five jobs after we were both exiled from Florence. Stop your complaining.
