It has been a while, since a post went up, here; seminary studies are underway, and have left less time for writing at present. On that topic, I ask any readers’ prayers, over the next weeks, for important decisions and events are occurring relevant to seminary studies. I am writing now, in response to an…
Riot Your Way to Progress
Seeing these riots, and the behaviour of the Left generally, I always think of C.S. Lewis’ Perelandra. For those who haven’t read it/ need a refresher: Satan possesses an atheistic scientist from the UK (named Weston), and has gone to Venus (called Perelandra by Venusians) to tempt the newly-created Eve of that world. An angel…
My Take on the Alt-Right
There’s a good article up on Jim’s Blog, giving his take on recent attempts to define the Alt-Right. I don’t think there was anything in its positive content, with which I disagreed; rather, in his and other attempts to define the Alt-Right, I think a critique of human “rights” is crucially omitted. The abuse of the concept of rights is…
A Novena for the Election
Hello to all; just a short post, proposing a form for a Novena in these nine days before the election in the USA. We are now in the Octave of Christ the King, on the traditional calendar of the Church, so a novena focused on Christ’s royal dignity as head of all states (including ours)…

An Important Reminder for Friday
A reminder to all, that tomorrow, Friday the third of June, is the Feast of the Sacred Heart. I once thought this devotion was a sappy and effeminate celebration of wuvvy-duvvy Geezus (and, as an Orthodox Christian at the time, a kind of “crypto-Nestorianism”). But the devotion to the Sacred Heart is rooted in sublime…
Virgo Mediatrix
As we bring the month of May, Mary’s month, to a close, I thought I would honor her here while also replying to a question I received about her role as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix. Many misunderstand this role, of course. The Scriptures are clear that “there is but one Mediator between God and man, the…
