The old standards are still the standards.Fundamentals have not changed, only incidentals. We go here and there looking for God.Truth is, we are ever only looking right at Him. Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell were businessmen, not Christians. Neuhaus misread the situation. Clergy did not abandon the public square. They were pushed out of it […]
I am unfamiliar with the writings of Natasha Crain and those of Russell Moore. Such indications as I glean, save one very correct and clever comment from the Godel / Heisenberg wing of polite society, disincline me to become familiar with those writings. The sense I get is that both are punching down when they […]
One God – One WorldOne Race – One Caste People left the churches becauseclergy renounced the religion. Clergy renounced the religion becauseprofessors forgot the faith. Professors forgot the faith becausecommunists announced unambiguity. Communists announced unambiguity becauseGod wanted to clean the saloon. God wanted to clean the saloon becauseit looks better that way. Hold the rosary […]
As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. These statistics represent a phenomenon of globe-wide extent: renegotiation of the institutional arrangements made upon the conclusion of WWII. The utility of those arrangements has run its course. The arrangements, therefore, are in collapse or advanced stages of decline while fresh institutional arrangements are being brought into existence. […]
As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. This one is a theologian’s candy garden. Rather goes to essentials very rapidly. The situation reminds me of a famous Aquinas dictum to the effect that an unjust law — one that restricts freedom without demonstrable intent to prohibit or punish a harm — is a species of […]
As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. The question, Where is The Church?, has been on my mind for decades. Phrased that way, the question can be misleading. The essential character of the question is: Where does authority lie? I posed the question that way to an Irish Benedictine, then a resident at St. Andrews […]
As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. A Pagan–Christian Contrast The Fall Of Jerusalem The Arch Of Titus The Arch of Titus stands today.The Temple of Solomon does not. President Trump Tweets Thanks To Archbishop Viganò Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganòAddress to Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on Fratelli Tutti: here, […]
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole The answer, sufficient if not complete, is the family — husband, wife, children — the primal structure of existence, who make the whole perishing thing work and happily. The family is the indicated and necessary ecclesial polity, the one persisting ecclesial institution. It is monastic. There […]
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole The Church is embodying in a freedom movement presenting as national patriotism, meaning, honoring the parents both physical and spiritual. The Great Trump Awakening for national sovereignty contrasts with and outruns The Great Clinton/Bush/Obama Transgressions for global governance. No games. No appeasing tyrants. Never lose faith […]
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole To become a Christian, you must request Baptism in the Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. To be a Christian, you must abandon the local churches. To join The Church, you must yearn to see God as you ordinarily […]
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole Ecclesia, Academia, and Iudiciaria are abandoned to self-destruction. Resort is made to Abbatia. There The Spirit rests and recreates awaiting orders to reædificabo. All this evidence of corruption and decay is signage indicating that breath has gone out of the body. Life has left it and […]
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Upon occasion, in human affairs, it becomes necessary to remind functionaries that they are not proprietors. This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) as well as to their tools, practitioners, who call themselves the intelligence community (IC). The tragedy inside their whole outlook […]
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA It is all in the Latin and The Church does not cheat. The Church throws materials into existence. Mark her prayers and other modes of address to The Almighty. They are imperatives, orders. Even as supplications, meditations, or intercessions, The Church’s prayers are commands. Can The Lord refuse His Church? So long […]
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Man up, Christian. You say you are the church militant, start acting like one. The churches — as distinguished from The Church, the Power and Spiritual Community Who animates the churches and to Whom the churches belong — need general staffs. To the objection that this assertion assumes church polity is episcopal […]
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA MultiCulturalism is to Humanism as Liberation Theology is to Christianity. MultiCulturalism and Liberation Theology are ideologies crafted and marketed by certain overbearing personalities — tyrants they are — to be psychotropic gateway drugs to yet stronger opiating concepts, phrases, and antisocial behaviors, ones that induce mass-dependency on said overbearing personalities. MultiCulturalism and […]
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Stand tall, keep your roots in the ground. Send them deep, into the waters and the earth. Clean the air, and provide/protect homes for other creatures. Last weekend, I stood with the president of a hobby club to which I belong, listening, like him, to a teenaged member brimming with astonishment stories connected […]
