Looking back a Year – A List of Ten Personally Important Entries
As has been indicated, these Webbursts are reserved for more casual and/or personal things, which may be of less interest and merit than those posted elsewhere, but which we’d still like to say anyway.
Along those lines, we’ll note that in terms of sustained regular writing, this site is now about one year old. Also the [...]

Blind Faith in the Dogmatic Authority of Secularism
There is a book I am preparing to review: Priests, Prelates, People – A History of European Catholicism since 1750.
It is a tale of tragedy. For gathered under one cover, one finds 250 years of the Faith in retreat from wave upon wave upon wave of secular and rationalist destruction.
Gathered under one cover in several [...]
This Joy
If people only knew …
For two days running, circumstances led me to miss Mass. This is very unusual for me and accustomed as I am to daily Mass, its absence was very noticeable.
I suppose some reading this might consider my going to Mass daily as some kind of zealous pious dutifulness. If they only knew [...]
Thank you, Friend(s) Unknown (You know who you are)
Just a little whisper now …
We have links to Amazon with a request to help this work.
Until lately, these were hardly used, but just recently someone or some ones, presumably in America, started using them.
Whoever you are Unknown Friend(s), I want to say: we are grateful.
This site is being born in real difficulty, which by so-called first [...]

Valentin Tomberg: The Impoverishment of Protestantism
I have warned here that these webbursts may be very fragmentary, even cryptic at times. Here is an example of what I mean.
Recently some unpublished notes by Valentin Tomberg were released. They contained a single sentence which HIT me very, very deeply.
“The impoverishment of humanity caused by Protestantism: without the Mother the Word is not [...]
Every Secret Misery and Silent Agony
Bursting:
I have mentioned at this site before Paray-le-Monial, where His Most Sacred Heart once was seen, blazing like the sun. And I have mentioned before, how while bearing heavy suffering, how held and bathed I felt in the love of that Most Sacred Heart, which still can be felt beating there … beating at Paray-le-Monial in France.
And there, there I had experiences [...]
Just What Pray Tell is a Webburst?
Well, a little while ago there was an announcement saying a new blog called Webbursts would be starting here.
And just what pray tell is a Webburst?
It is first of all, an experiment. I don´t know if these webbursts will succeed. I just want to play a little …
A confession: with much of my writing I tend to be what [...]
“The Hushed Movement of Wings”
I realise I have not yet said just exactly what a webburst is. And I plan to, soon.
But one thing that will be included in the webbursts – though the webbursts will not be limited to this – are pointers.
I want to point to things on the web that seem to me particularly beautiful or [...]
The Webbursts are Coming …
A new and different weblog will shortly be properly commencing at this site …
