Founding Parousian Caleb Bernacchio will be leaving our little Harvard on the Mississippi to finish his undergraduate career at the Angelicum in Rome. In preparation for the farewell roast, we will be posting some of our favorite Caleb stories.
This first entry comes from founding Parousian Tobias Danna:
"On the night before Caleb flew out for his Pentecost pilgrimage to Rome, Caleb, Philip de Mahy and I got into a long philosophical discussion around 1 in the morning. Out of nowhere, Caleb tells us he doesn't really want to go on the trip. It cost too much money, and he could be at home reading the Summa Theologica all the way through . . . again. I reminded him that he already knew how it ended, and that even he could not possibly have a bad time in Rome. In a reply soaked in the enthusiasm typified by Ben Stein's comedic delivery, he assured us he really was excited about the trip. Sure enough, Caleb came back with good stories from Rome, all told with a smile - not a hint of deadpan. Still, he will never escape the rep that comes when you say you'd rather read Aquinas than go to Rome."
