More Top Gun Maverick 🙏

So much of the disorder in our society flows from our lack virtue, rooted in false vision of human nature thecatholicherald.com/articl…

"June is a holy month. One way to know this is by the many wonderful feasts that fill its weeks. Another is to look at the way the world treats it." ✍️ Clement Harrold Article | ow.ly/NMi550ZaGlG

A friend of mine googled what happened in Ireland and read a liberal site (Guardian) and a conservative one (NY Post). The liberal one omitted the fact that the Sudanese guy tried to behead the victim and was pretty open about it. Instead, it contained about a dozen quotes from liberal politicians about how upset they were over the "racists".

Fantastic news!

A few thoughts for recent converts who might feel the Easter glow wearing off, and a necessary reminder for the rest of us. Let's get intense about this thecatholicherald.com/articl…

Mormons and Catholics believe in two different Gods. Both call God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but each means a totally different thing from the other. In Catholicism, God is three persons in one divine nature. God is immaterial and absolutely simple. In Mormonism, the three persons are distinct in substance and essence. They are made of material and exist in a material world. In Catholicism, God created everything ex nihilo (from nothing). He brings everything into existence, and all existence is contingent on him. God is the uncaused cause—the ultimate explanation of all things. In Mormonism, God does not bring all things into existence from nothing. Instead, he organizes eternally existing matter. This matter has existed forever, and all things, including god, are made by it. This should already suffice to show that Mormons worship an altogether different "god" from Christians, so Mormonism is not a type or denomination of Christianity. But setting aside that debate for the moment, there is a more fundamental question: is the Mormon view a sufficient explanation for why anything exists at all? It is not. Eternal matter cannot explain its own reason for existence, let alone existence itself. Only a theology where God is the very act of being can explain reality fully. Why? Continue reading below 👇

The Trinity is the only appropriate answer to the question: “What if God were to contemplate Himself?”

Trent Horn has to be one of my all time favorite apologists. He is equal parts deft and winsome in his apologetics. I come away from each video feeling genuinely encouraged. Never understood the hate lobbed at the Catholic Answers guys. youtube.com/watch?v=XnzOwaJx…

Declining corporate support for Pride events may signal a political shift, but conservatives should be cautious about mistaking a tactical retreat for a lasting cultural transformation. ✍️ David Hahn thecatholicherald.com/articl…

I watched the video of the couple revealing the prenatal test results. Hard viewing. My main takeaway is that the husband was weak. He should have comforted his wife, but he made her more desperate. A little more courage from him, a sense of safety and confidence to share with her, “It’s ok babe, we got this”, might change the frame, leading to different conversations, just as much a matter of life and death but far short of debates about “the ethics of abortion”. The culture of death is downstream of “men without chests”.

If we wish to undo the effects of cultural fragmentation, music must be point of focus - particularly music we make together!

Crazy take here, but this is actually super cool and inspiring to young men. We want to offer sacrifice like Christ. We want a religion with near military regiment. We want this level of devotion and brotherhood. Chartres is straight 🔥🔥🔥

Happy month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

A Man for All Seasons is an incredible movie. It has all the quip and sharpness of a classic like His Girl Friday while stirring the heart like Gladiator. The scene where he says goodbye to his wife is brutally real. May the good Lord Catholicize England!

"Pope Benedict XVI once said that the Holy Spirit was, in some ways, the neglected Person of the Most Blessed Trinity. His work is almost always invisible – moving the heart and conforming the sons of God to the image of the Son. Yet some of this neglect is not merely an accident of the Holy Spirit’s hidden activity. It is partly a failure of memory." ✍️ @hahnlander Article | ow.ly/bq8350Z5Bnf
