It’s still helpful if the Pope is not entirely rowing in.
I have never liked videos or ‘podcasts’, for some reason unknownst to myself. I prefer transcripts and essays. We might all have to rely on old...
I am reassured by Pope Leo’s talks with the Copts, in which he seems to be rejecting blessings for homosexual couples....
It is looking more likely that all this AI speculation is mostly hype, a financial bubble accounting for approximately 50% of US GDP growth, yet...
Signed up to Magis!
Read that book he’s holding. Very good.
The context changes everything. Despite being a fallen race, we are creatures of God who can never be matched by any creation of man. Not by a...
I have found St Philip Neri to be a great support.
It was no more than a relatively mild ‘flu. The ‘treatments’ (remember people being put on to ventilators?) and ‘vaccines’ seem to have done more...
The more I learn of the Orthodox churches and the Copts, the more I realise their beliefs, customs and traditions are far less distant from the...
Eyebrow-raising title!
They closed down the world because of a COVID virus with a 98.2% survival rate. The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola is said to have a fatality range of...
The world ends when Our Father calls it; every individual’s life, the same. What matter then the ‘dizzying profits’ or the pollution? Isn’t the...
Why on earth are we getting an encyclical on ‘artificial intelligence’, for example? The Church’s instructional ‘business’ or ‘job’ is meant to...
We may hope that it will distract the world from the fiasco in Iran, as Trump quietly withdraws, although that does not provide much consolation...
This is ‘gaslighting’, at this stage. They’re having a laugh.
Oh, I like that old-time religion when it just sticks to Christ alone. Most of these are truly good Christian people. Probably, many of the...
And Chesterton said that Capitalism (at least the vulturous billionaire mega-corporation kind) is just the other side of the Communist coin-both...
Massie still had the right enemies. Nearly every other US senator and congressman seems to be a bona fide traitor.
The traits come from the beliefs. I would think a lot of these people are part of the ‘Christian’ Zionist heresy?
Ah, those original Gospel writers hadn’t a clue…the thing never caught on, at all.
That sounds precisely right. Had He not ascended, the Spirit could not proceed. Let us pray that our Orthodox brothers and sisters, who share so...
I’d be fairly sure that at least one of the Fathers contemplated these Words. I just haven’t come across it. But the Fathers covered so much...
Good as place as any to post my thought for the day! Today is the Feast of the Ascension moved to the Sunday. Our Lord said that the Holy Spirit...
The lower He descended, the higher He rose.
And, like the straw that broke the camel’s back, it might well be one of those relatively insignificant sins, not a ‘spectacular’ like a Netanyahu...
So do I, but, at best, I feel I need to be purified in Purgatory for a very long time indeed before I am worthy to approach Him. This is the...
When I attempt to pray the decade of The Agony in the Garden, I try to remember to remind myself that I was part of the cause of it. Oh, nothing...
Wouldn’t be caught dead at cheap trash like that! All joking aside, isn’t it infinitely outclassed by a funeral party retreating to a nearby...
Was not, perhaps, the worst of His suffering that which He endured for all our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane? Did He not sweat blood for them?...
