To Suffer the Modern Liturgy and not to Fume …
I have just returned from Holy Mass with the Institute of Christ the King, here in Madrid.
I feel so nourished by this Mass. So deeply nourished, physically and spiritually, that my soul is singing.
Nourished by the beauty of the chapel. Nourished by the beauty of the vestments and altar. Nourished by the beauty of the [...]
A Tridentine Preview
A lot of work is presently going into a new aspect of this website, which I hope will soon debut under the name of Tridentine Archive.
The Archive among other things, will be representing to the twenty-first century certain older out-of-copyright texts, which deal not only with the Sacred Heart, but also the entire Tridentine period [...]

The Death Cult Progeny of the Enlightenment III
At the end of preceding segment, I turned to the subject of hope. For I share a world with many who are losing hope as to the sustainability of our present civilisation.
And as I have written earlier in this little series, I myself have little hope in the prospects of creating an ultimately sustainable civilisation [...]

The Death Cult Progeny of the Enlightenment II
Stripped and naked, we die.
Were you to ask me dear Reader, for a five word précis of my last entry at this weblog, I doubt I could do much better than that.
For the point of that entry was that the fruits of the Enlightenment had left us stripped, stripped of the very things needed for our survival.
These include [...]
The Death Cult Progeny of the Enlightenment
Is the only means for saving human civilisation through the restoration of the lost authority of the Church?
Is the only means of restoring the lost authority of the Church through the undoing of so, so much that happened in the wake of Vatican II?
Whatever the merit of these questions and however bizarre they will no doubt appear [...]
Outraging Modern Sensibilities …
Dear Readers, I wish you all a Blessed New Year.
Now this will not be so much a usual entry, but more a pointer to a very long comment concerning Valentin Tomberg I have posted elsewhere here.
If this link does not take you directly to the long comment, you will just need to scroll down the page till you get [...]
Cry from the Heart
May I be permitted, may I permit myself, I wonder, a lamentation here, a cry, even a scream from the heart?
Cry out, as I continue in the personal and autobiographical mode of my last entry – in which entry I also invoked the words of a deceased, anonymous author writing in French, just before the arrival of the new [...]

Global Warming and Catholic Response
In 1891, Pope Leo XIII brought forth the encyclical Rerum Novarum. It was a milestone in the Catholic Tradition, inaugurating a new era of Papal Social Encyclicals responding to the social injustice of the modern world.
The latest being the magisterial Caritas in Veritate of His Holiness Benedict XVI.
In Rerum Novarum Leo XIII challenged unrestricted capitalism, [...]
The Predators
Recently at her weblog here, my beloved wrote about her reaction to The Guardian, a high quality British daily newspaper:
“I feel bombarded. I feel ‘preached’ at. Preached at in a way that is relatively subtle. This is not tabloid journalism or the gutter press. Nonetheless the choice of headlines, photographs and text tries to direct, [...]
Cor Jesu, láncea perforátum
Welcome to my weblog and thank you for coming.
There are many themes and aspects to the faith, I want to explore here, centred around the mysteries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady and Her Rosary, Holy Mass, Holy Mother Church and far more.
First of all, I will present something I wrote about the [...]
