Moral Honesty and Respect

Reading this article on William Luse’s blog has gotten me thinking more and more about some recent events.  The article, actually an interview transcript, is from 1981 and reproduces a conversation between William F. Buckley and Malcolm Muggeridge.  In this conversation, Muggeridge discusses his reasons for not being Catholic (he did eventually convert, but that [...]

A Worldwide Traditionalist Diocese

I recently heard it suggested that what those of us who love the Traditional Latin Mass really need is a worldwide Traditionalist diocese, that would give us our own friendly bishop(s?) our own set of priests, our own parishes, and ultimately would circumvent the many problems that occur within the “mainstream” church.  It is certainly [...]

Solemn High Mass in Fresno

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the PentecostMass at St. Anthony of Padua in Fresno.  I greatly regret that I don’t have any pictures to post, but some of the ushers were taking pictures which will hopefully be on the Latin Mass Society’s website soon.  Also, they might end up in the Fresno Bee, as I [...]

Fr. Ragheed Ganni

Perhaps some of you have heard of this new martyr, Fr. Ragheed Ganni.  At Mass last Sunday, the priest, who is from Ireland, discussed the martyrdom of Fr. Ganni.  Apparently he knew him (Fr. Ganni went to the Irish College in Rome, and spent time in Ireland at Lough Derg).  I encourage everyone to read [...]

The Last Time

No, this isn’t a farewell post.  Rather, I want to talk about the idea of the “last time” one does something.  One time, my mom mentioned to me how strange it is that there is a last time for everything, but you very seldom know it is happening.  Thus, the last time I asked my [...]

Barbarian Masculinity

Yet another post of mine inspired by something over at Jeff Culbreath’s Stony Creek Digest.  His post is a lengthy discussion of how one may resist feminism, which contains many interesting points worthy of discussion.  However, the most interesting part of the discussion that I saw was near the end.  Mr. Culbreath points out that [...]

Great New Blog

I just wanted to inform everyone reading of an excellent new blog, Catholic Restorationists.  It is a group blog, and some of the bloggers I regularly read are participating.  In fact, I doubt whether there are many reading my blog who do not yet know about this new blog.
