Socrates died of internal desyntery and at his deathbed he reflected upon his life and declared homosexuality a disease so I don't see your point.
Also a single cause does not make for good arguement. Even if he was acutely a gay philosopher whose main motif was pursuit of homofaggotry then he is thwarted by seneca, plato, aristotle, myron and even the fucking bitch ass suicide-ass saphona.

You are noble but overthinking as a means to protect yourself but this in turn isolates and drains you. In order to be "part of the world" you need to get a little dirty. I was exactly like you, but then I passed 30 and something "broke" inside me. Now I engage with people more, perform gestures that I would have previously thought as abrupt, etc. And it doesn't matter if I miss the mark from time to time, because not playing is worse than playing a dumb game. You may see that sometimes the dumb game of activities and motions is just a ceremonial for other expetiences. Don't pre-suppose what spiritual interaction between two people could be just by yourself or by previous turns.

What I mean is that you should embrace "defeat" as a vital posibility/gateway. Don't drown in mud, but don't keep your pants all white. Live

>Does Catholicism preserve, in some degree, the spirit of Rome?

I don't think it does. The Catholic Church was prophesied in Daniel 2:

a stone was cut out without hands.
It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer.
The wind swept them away without leaving a trace.
But the stone that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
>But the stone that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

The stone that struck the statue is Christ. It destroyed the statute (which signified Rome, among other things), without leaving a trace. Thus the fate of the Roman Empire.

The huge mountain which the stone turned into, that filled the whole earth, is the Catholic Church.

That being said, there *are* aspects of Catholic liturgical piety and language which were definitely influenced by, and in a sense carry on, the spirit of Rome -- its passionate feeling, expressed with noble restraint, and without resort to purple or exaggerated language.

These are all good points. I'd like to also add from firsthand experience that some hate comes from successful STEM graduates who find themselves in mundane soulless number crunching jobs.
