A Latin Apology for Roman Claims
Pope Peter: Defending the Church’s Most Distinctive Doctrine in a Time of Crisis by Joe Heschmeyer
A product of (Roman) Catholic Answers, so I expect no nuance or discussion of non-Latin ecclesiology or views regarding primacy.
This begs the question: When is the pope not exercising the powers of the ordinary or extraordinary Magisterium when he is putting forth his opinions regarding faith and morals?Yet, as Heschmeyer rightly notes, popes can be both wrong or sinful, even egregiously so, without compromising the doctrine of papal infallibility. Infallibility does not mean impeccability. Nor does it mean everything the pope says or writes must be obeyed unquestionably. When the pope or the bishops exercise the powers of the ordinary or extraordinary Magisterium, we are right to obey. The rest of the time, as Heschmeyer rightly notes, we retain the right to ignore, or, given certain extraordinary circumstances, criticize what our Holy Father says or does.
Patriarch Mor Mikhayel Rabo aka Michael the Syrian
On November 7 the Syriac Orthodox Church remembers Patriarch Mor Mikhayel Rabo aka Michael the Syrian ♰ 1199.
— Wisdom of the Syriac Orthodox Church ♰ (@SyriacMalankara) November 7, 2020
He is described as “one of the greatest pontiffs of the Church of God, finest of the Patriarchs of Antioch, a scholar, famous chronicler, of graceful pursuit & deeds"
Yes, That is the Primary Purpose of Prayer
"When we pray, it is certainly not a question of persuading God, of moving Him to change His providential dispositions; it is only a question of lifting our will to His heights, to will with Him in time what He has decided to give us from eternity." -Fr. R. Garrigou-Lagrange, OP

My guess, an icon commissioned by a Latin from someone trained in Byzantine iconography. The Holy Family icon is a popular image with Latins but here the Eastern tradition of depicting St. Joseph as being much older than the Theotokos is apparently being followed. (I've never seen the Holy Family icon in a Byzantine temple.)

Promoting the Liberal Arts with Exaggerated Claims

FPR
Let me offer a modest definition of what an education is for. An education assists in ordering and expanding our loves. This follows in the tradition of St. Augustine and Hugh St. of Victor up to present day with James K.A. Smith and David Brooks. The flourishing life is a life of ordered love, and education prepares and shapes such a life. It’s for a life fueled by affection creating a people “who the life they’ve made and they place they’ve made in it,” in the words of Wendell Berry.
Christian paideia does this. The liberal arts may train the intellect, but they do not by themselves, train the will, even if the state of learning before the liberal arts may influence the moral imagination.

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
