Only Ultramontanism Would Lead One to Purchasing This

If one considers the man who wrote this, and not the office, how can one take him as a credible witness?

An incredible book. Pope Francis writes in 1987 that Jesuits (and Christians in general) need to forge ourselves more deeply in Christian life and incorporate ourselves more fully into God's people in response to the "tribulations" of life.

One of the Few Highlights of Paul VI's Papacy

Latin traditionalists will of course disagree...

On this day in 1964, in the presence of the 2,000 Council Fathers of Vatican II, Pope Paul VI, breaking with tradition, donated his Papal tiara to the poor at a ceremony in St. Peter’s Basilica, making him the last pope to wear the ceremonial crown. pic.twitter.com/0uC4Ephilk

DeVille Reviews Guckin's Book on the Orthodox Church

CWR: New history of the Eastern Orthodox Church is often superb, sometimes lacking by Adam DeVille John Anthony McGuckin’s The Eastern Orthodox Church: A New History is often thrilling and informative, but is lacking when it comes to the papacy, anti-Catholicism, and Islam.

Saddest thing in the Medieval Philosophy world right now. The investigation is still under way but the available evidence is already pretty baffling. Extensive, repeated copy-pasting from many other texts without proper attribution. A basic thing we warn undergrads not to do! https://t.co/FUhPG4iHRt

Lawler on the McCarrick Report

But if Vigano indeed failed to investigate thoroughly, he joined a long list of other prelates who had dropped the ball in the McCarrick case. What makes Vigano different is that he eventually apologized for his failure. The cover-up continues. https://t.co/HCuZTfKDmP
