I was very glad to talk yesterday to @sitsio and @ChooseAgape__ about Fr James Mawdsley, the TLM, the Jews, Holocaust denial and fascism -- quite a stimulating set of issues! Thank you both for publishing the hour-long podcast video: link in reply.
"We do not merely study the past, we inherit it, and inheritance brings with it not only the rights of ownership, but the duties of trusteeship. Things fought for and died for should not be idly squandered. For they are the property of others, who are not yet born"

More than that: in his view, which was adopted by the Church, she doesn’t lose her *virginity*.
Reading City of God and there's a really interesting section where Augustine writes that if a woman took a vow of chastity but was assaulted, it doesn't break her vow because the activity was against her will. It speaks to a profoundly compassionate view at a time when
We entrust the victims of the vile terrorist attack on the Greek Orthodox community of Mar Elias Church in Damascus to God’s mercy, and we offer our prayers for the wounded and their families. I say to the Christians of the Middle East: I am close to you! The whole Church is…
Well that is horrifying.
New York Times reporters Brian M. Rosenthal and Julie Tate have just published this new article: “ A Push for More Organ Transplants is Putting Donors at Risk.” They document the MANY cases where organ procurement pushed to harvest the organs of people who were still alive. For…
Cool!
On the banner of Emperor Honorius, the inscription IN NOMINE XPI VINCAS SEMPER, “may you always triumph in the name of Christ” (Diptych of Probus, 406 AD).
Not only does this not sound at all weird, but the USA, the UK and others are bound to something very like it by Article 5 of the NATO treaty.
Portugal is our greatest ally. It is a major priority for the United States to stand by Portugal. We can not tolerate those who criticize and hate Portugal. I stand with our allies in Portugal. See how weird that sounds?
No no there have been several others.
A pop-up Catholic Mass in Canterbury Cathedral. The first in almost half a millennium? thecatholicherald.com/article/sancti…
What’s strange is this lady, I’m sure in good faith, has no idea of the discussion about the meaning of the Greek here that has been going on for more than fifteen centuries. The Gospels weren’t written in English. Her Prot predecessors understood this.
I have no idea why we’re discussing the sex life of Mary and Joseph, who have been dead now for nearly 2,000 years, but sure, I’ll chime in. Matthew writes, “When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she…
Luke 1:43: And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
King Charles III reciting Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem 'God's Grandeur.' The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
Interesting.
Married men live longer and have lower risks of depression, heart disease, and suicide. They’re happier and earn 10-40% more than their single counterparts. Men with daughters, specifically, are also healthier than those without. It’s a feature. Not a bug.
‘The French had superior forces so Wellington is over-rated’ is a confusing take.
Other overrated: Wellington. In tabletop simulations of Waterloo done by military academies around the world, the French side wins the majority of the time. Napoleon was ill and demoralized that day. Underrated: Bagration

Strap in, Turchin enjoyers, things may be about to get lively
Labour backed raising the age of consent from 16 to 18 for getting a tattoo, buying alcohol, watching porn, opening a bank account, purchasing cigarettes, using a sunbed or being tried as an adult. Now they tell us they are acting from principle.
"The character assassination directed at Catholics who merely wish to worship as their predecessors did, was a greater threat to the preservation of the Traditional Mass than the impediments to its celebration introduced by Pope Francis." —@LMSChairman firstthings.com/pope-leo-and-t…
