Pope Francis in Real Trouble with Actual Theologians

Fr. Aidan Nichols, OP is just the most prominent of a sizable list of renowned and orthodox theologians who have had enough of the Francis pontificate. In essence, this cadre of the devout states the self-evident that in his very slipperiness, his unwillingness to answer the dubia, Amoris Laetitia, any impromptu news conference on an…

We Are NOT EASTER WORSHIPPERS!

  The graced, sublime and genius Rachel Fulton Brown (Medieval scholar extraordinaire) reminds us of the feckless, misguided, God-less and thus sick world in which we live wherein Catholic brothers and sisters were massacred as they went to revel in the Resurrection.

BuzzFeed is reporting that a mother wrote a letter against female students wearing leggings to Mass. Per…

The Persecution of Jussie Smollett

Oh, the terrible injussieness–sorry injustice–of the whole episode! How long really could the Socialist Republic of Cook and its capital, Chicago, carry on this persecution of poor Jussie without recognizing that the rule of law is so dead and buried here that a black, homosexual actor would have to receive some sort of preferential treatment…

God’s Game: Baseball or Golf?

What a wormhole I opened up here! The genesis of it (pun intended) emerged from the time and season: Baseball is opening and the Players’ tournament just ended with the Masters on the horizon. My initial entry point was just to mark and compare the good, the true and the beautiful of both sports. Which…
