Who Will Cleanse Rome?

This story has some unique aspects, e.g., the age of the alleged abuser when abuse began.

But maybe the most upsetting details are those which have become so nauseatingly familiar: lack of serious investigation, foot-dragging, blame-shifting...https://t.co/vvBmGi3X34

Fr. Venard Reviews FC Bauerschmidt's Latest Book

I am incredibly honored by Olivier-Thomas Venard's generous review of my book. One of the best things about academia is when people tell you things about your work that you yourself have only half understood. https://t.co/VKpNmv1RdA

Latin Gerondism?

Withdrawing From the World to Save It by Thomas Griffin

What is useful in the rule for the laity is whatever immediately reflects life in Christ; there is an analogue between living in a monastic community and political community, but political community must be explained on its own terms. And hence the Rule of St. Benedict by itself is insufficient to provide that sort of guidance for lay people.

Holy Anthony of Kiev

Venerable Father Anthony, leading a life equal to that of angels you came to Kyiv. Living there, you enlightened your fatherland, pointing the way to the Kingdom to many monks and nuns and thus you led your homeland to Christ. Pray to Christ that He save our souls. pic.twitter.com/Qa9ZziwAZ1

Protesting the Limits of the Authority of the Patriarch of Rome

After all, one could say that this authority of the bishop of Rome with respect to the Roman rite applies only to the authority that he has over the Roman rite and the patriarchate of Rome, and that this authority could be limited or modified.

What Paul VI did to the liturgy of the [Church] was a tectonic shift, an unprecedented assault on tradition—& therefore truly wrong, unworthy of the papacy, incompatible with the duties of the papal office, wicked in the way in which treason is wicked.https://t.co/ZhWnEFPoIT

Latin Unitarianism

Our friendship with God does not depend on our goodness, or anything we could possibly earn. It is rooted in God’s great and mysterious love. The same love that led him to lay down his life for all of us.
