Speculative Theology

(6:50am) Me: *walking back from morning Mass with sisters, not having had coffee yet, approached by a stranger”

Feast of the Dormition

In giving birth you retained your virginity, in falling asleep you did not abandon the world, o Mother of God. You passed into life, for you are the Mother of Life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death. (Troparion, Tone 1) pic.twitter.com/hobkU4NR7s

Spot the Heresy

Mary’s secret is humility. It is her humility that attracted God’s gaze to her. Today, looking at Mary #assumed into heaven, we can say that humility is the way that leads to Heaven. #Angelus

The Areopagites say that there is a crisis of the gospel in the modern world. A lot of people have no idea what it even is. There are numerous versions being preached. And almost all of them are missing something -- demons. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/y8un943zAf

Agree or Disagree?

And thus the angels were astonished (as the Greek Fathers insisted) to see this unexpected kinship between the eternity of God and the ‘it has happened’ of time and of the flesh. They do not possess thus kinship. And this is why deified humanity is raised above them.

Restore the Sarum Use!

This is why the Scots hierarchy were actually offered Restoration of the Sarum Use in 1878 by Leo XIII - but the Bishops rejected it because by that time the faithful had become used to the Roman books introduced by Jesuits and Irish clergy. A catastrophe.
