The foregoing is the root of USA Foreign Policy, and as such, a correlate of the Primakov Doctrine, the root of Russian Foreign Policy. Church and State in The USofA Principle I The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other nations and expect other nations to reciprocate by not feigning authority…
Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. The Rev. David R. Graham on Aurelien’s Things Are Falling ApartThere’s no…
Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. Somehow, since 1949, Americans let their leaders talk them into fights that…

And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

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…
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…
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…
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…
Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT Globalization by Socialists and Moslems of murder, rape, and taunting of Christians, and arson, vandalism, and mayhem committed upon their handiworks, indicate, among other things, that the churches’ lines of battle are overextended.…
