There is only one way for God to be with us, to abide with man: the gift of His grace. The prophets' sigh, begging the heavens to rend that God may come down, has been answered in Jesus Christ: He is the true temple, God's living presence in our midst. The one who loves the Son will be loved by His Father, and the Triune God will come to him to make their "abode" with him. Grace therefore brings about the mystery of the inhabitation of the Mos...

The exposition will be as profound and comprehensive as I can make it, nature and grace must furnish the basis for a reasonable chart of life and growth. My cherished aim is to bring out the supernatural character of the Christian economy of salvation in its full sublimity, beauty, and riches. The main task of our time, it seems to me, consists in propoupding and emphasizing the supernatural quality of Christianity, for the benefit of both sci...

As St Augustine told his flock in Hippo Regis, the books of Scripture are letters that have come to us from the City toward which we are on pilgrimage. Yet for many decades, the teaching and study of Scripture in academic settings within the Catholic Church has served more to undermine faith than to nourish it. This disastrous situation has arisen through a forgetfulness or rejection of the principles that should guide exegesis. In particular,...

In The Cruise of the 'Nona, ' Hilaire Belloc sets off "to sail the English seas again, and to pursue from thought to thought and from memory to memory such things as have occupied one human soul." On one level a breezy record of an adventurous journey, underneath the surface, a wise and insightful study of modern life, particularly in its transition from the Victorian to the early modern period. Belloc's prose glitters and crashes like ocean b...

The seventeenth-century Baroque synthesis of the divine-human relationship emphasized the primacy of the Christian God in the lives of all men as the basis for legitimate humanism. The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century tore apart the components, emphasizing matter over spirit and pushing God far away as a remote cosmic architect. In the first half of the nineteenth century, spirit prevailed once again over matter in Romanticism. This eff...

What does it mean to say that the Apostle Peter-and each of his successors-is kepha, the rock on which Christ has built His Church? Could this rock ever be allowed to crumble, without the Church herself crumbling? Can a successor of Peter fail in his office, or even in his faith, without negating the Church's indefectibility? What are the nature-and limits-of the pope's infallibility and primacy? Has the role of the supreme pontiff sometimes b...

The decline of the Catholic Church in the developed world has been accelerated in the last decade by a devastating series of scandals involving sexual abuse by Catholic clergy. But just as clerical abuse fits in to a wider story about the abuse of power in the modern "sexual marketplace, " so the decline of Catholic church-going and religious belief finds its context in a wider collapse of cultural institutions and shared beliefs: the crisis o...

En su último libro, el Dr. Peter Kwasniewski sostiene que, desde que entraron en vigor los nuevos libros litúrgicos tras el Concilio Vaticano II, los fieles católicos romanos han sufrido los efectos de una reforma precipitada y de gran alcance, impregnada de nominalismo, voluntarismo, protestantismo, racionalismo, anticuarianismo, hiperpapalismo y otros errores modernos. El hombre no es dueño de la liturgia divina, subraya el Dr. Kwasniewski, ...

Between September and November 2022, Church Life Journal published a series of articles on liturgical reform, coauthored by Drs. John Cavadini, Mary Healy, and Thomas Weinandy. With its rosy view of the Liturgical Movement, its caricature of the Catholic faithful prior to Vatican II, its forensically questionable affirmation of Sacrosanctum Concilium's paternity of the Novus Ordo (not to mention its solemn chrismation of both by the Holy Spiri...

O Papa Bento XVI afirmou o crescimento contínuo e a validade perpétua da Missa Tradicional, sublinhando que "aquilo que para as gerações anteriores era sagrado, permanece sagrado e grande também para nós e não pode ser de improviso totalmente proibido ou mesmo prejudicial." Contudo, com a publicação do Traditionis Custodes, em 2021, o seu sucessor declarou precisamente o contrário, provocando ondas de choque na Igreja com o apelo à restrição...

El Papa Benedicto XVI afirmó el sostenido crecimiento y la perpetua validez de la Misa Tradicional Latina, insistiendo en que "lo que para las generaciones anteriores era sagrado, también para nosotros permanece sagrado y grande y no puede ser de improviso totalmente prohibido o incluso perjudicial." Sin embargo, con la publicación en el 2021 de Traditionis Custodes, su sucesor ha declarado precisamente lo opuesto, enviando ondas de choque a...

The life and thought of John Henry Newman were permeated with the ceremonies and hallowed texts of Christian liturgies, which he celebrated for over six decades, starting as an Anglican deacon in 1824 and ending as a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. It comes as no surprise that allusions to liturgical worship are ubiquitous in his writings. The "ordinances" of the Church, her rich panoply of rites handed down through the centuries, are, for ...

On July 16, 2021, Pope Francis published Traditionis Custodes, an apostolic letter that aimed at a drastic reduction of the use of the traditional Roman liturgy. In a letter to the bishops published on the same day, the pope explained at length the reasons for his decision. The harsh measures, in tandem with the violent and accusatory tone of the accompanying letter, have aroused consternation among the faithful who are attached to the usus an...

Papst Benedikt bestätigte das kontinuierliche Wachstum und die dauerhafte Gültigkeit der traditionellen lateinischen Messe, indem er darauf hinwies, dass "das, was früheren Generationen heilig war, auch uns heilig und groß bleibt, es kann nicht plötzlich rundum verboten oder gar schädlich sein". Mit der Veröffentlichung von Traditionis Custodes im Jahr 2021 erklärte sein Nachfolger jedoch das genaue Gegenteil. Er sandte Schockwellen durch di...

Anchored in the arcana of ancient and modern history, Robert Lazu Kmita's debut novel follows the outer and inner adventure of a specialist in Greek culture, Alexander Jacob Wills, as he pursues evidence of the fabled city of Atlantis. The story takes place on a remote island in the Atlantic, owned by the eccentric aristocrat Gilbert Newman, Duke of Kirkwell. On this island is located the magnificent library of the Newman family, where the sec...

The First Vatican Council solemnly defined that the pope is infallible when he speaks ex cathedra, that is, from the chair of St. Peter, which is the chair of truth. With this definition, the question as to whether the pope is able to speak infallibly at all has been finally settled, since then, theological discussion has centered on the subsidiary questions as to how often and under what conditions he does so. Here there are two errors to be ...
