St. Alphonsus Rodriguez

St. Alphonsus Rodriguez was a #Jesuit brother who spent years as a door-keeper. He became renowned for his hospitality and advice. @KenHomanSJ reflects that being a saint isn't just about big actions, it's about living a life of everyday love. pic.twitter.com/ydijDWyVvO

“But be the war within, the brand we wield
Unseen, the heroic breast not outward-steeled,
Earth hears no hurtle then from fiercest fray”

Transubstantiation

“Was transubstantiation a point of controversy between east and west?”

Fr David McCready, an alumnus of St. Vladimir’s, has penned a reflection on a term that “came to dominate in the west, the dread word transubstantiation.” https://t.co/hOYi9BbjMR #AlumniInMinistry pic.twitter.com/D1P2e9H0qH

Friends, I talked with students at @KenrickGlennon Seminary about the importance of academic formation for priests, and why we shouldn’t drive a wedge between the intellectual and pastoral aspects of caring for souls.

More Make-Work for Roman Catholic Academics

But the ultramontanists think they are rendering an important service to "the Church."

Join us for “Towards Fraternity: Reflections on Fratelli Tulli” to critically engage the themes of the Encyclical and how they can by integrated into ordinary relationships and society at-large.

Thank God They Weren't Destroyed

Chora church mosaics and frescoes represent the highest achievement of the Byzantine sacral art and were painstakingly restored since 1945 by best Western experts as the images had been covered for 5 centuries by Ottoman time plaster and damaged. Now all this is hidden again. pic.twitter.com/6mHpCpomi5

Not Quite an Apology for Fratelli Tutti on War

It may be that ”Fratelli Tutti” opposes the use of force in international relations altogether; it’s a question in need of further explication.https://t.co/qa8pL95vO5

George and Anderson Respond to Pope Francis

What did Pope Francis say about "civil unions"? What did he mean? How does the teaching of the Catholic Church on marriage and sexual morality bear on questions of legally recognized partnerships of various kinds? Ryan Anderson and I examine the questions.https://t.co/Ur8xRi8Rju

— Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) October 28, 2020

No public official or religious leader can change the nature of marriage or the moral status of non-marital sexual conduct. For a law to serve the common good, it must reflect the truth about marriage.https://t.co/Io1KthkVsZ via @PublicDiscourse @McCormickProf

Commonweal's Fluff Hit Piece on Latin Integralism

. @troutsky_’s essay on integralism is the worst I’ve seen so far. It starts by discussing the broad political movement and blogs like @josias_rex and then doesn’t engage with them, instead turning to a rather obscure book published recently. https://t.co/F05lKaWGZ0

A Symbol of the Decay

If the Church is indeed built on the foundation of the Apostles, and Christ is the cornerstone (Eph 2:19-22), than the image of a cracked stone seems an apt one for what the Church in Germany is doing these days. https://t.co/7LnxoANpSJ
