Since someone got stuck on THIS site thanks to a search string asking the question: curvatus en se is Latin for curved in on oneself, like an embryo. It's from St. Augustine's "Confessions", and it refers basically to the sin of self-absorption (yes, kids: I *do* know how apropos that is), of infantile concern for oneself above all.
Now ya know. Now go have fun with some ancient Catholic reading. Or make some jokes about Hippo, if you like. I won't judge. I'm far more concerned with myself.
