Recently a bit of controversy has arisen. @walbrecht1854 has affirmed that Calvin believed in the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. @Trent_Horn has denied it. Both were on @Pints_W_Aquinas: http://twitter.com/MilitantThomist/status/1605574418104815618

One year ago, I set the goal of going from about 150/200 subs to 3k subs in a year...now, 2 days before the end of the year I have reached that goal. I set other goals on other platforms and I have hit every single goal except one (I need 2 more Patrons to hit 50 Patrons). This year, I think I will shoot for 10k (why not?)

This past year has been an amazing year of growth for Scholastic Answers and has provided an opportunity for us to better discern our mission in the Catholic world.

In 2023, we will continue to unite Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, et Lex Vivendi in our message to young men so that they may come to know and love God.

The uniqueness of our mission is found in providing traditional formation in theology and philosophy, going deeper than the apologetics that brought them into the Church.

Along with reprints and courses, I hope to begin to write more texts like my "Little Catechism on Logic" (next one will be on the Trinity) and to have group courses.

All of this takes time and money. I would love to eventually charge nothing, but I currently must charge for some of my resources.

This is where you come in. If you become a patron (patreon.com/militantthomist), along with plenty of cool benefits, you get to help our mission.

Our goal is to get 20 new supporters by the end of the year. Ambitious? Perhaps. But, as the Angelic Doctor said "fear is the beginning of despair even as hope is the beginning of daring."

-Christian B. Wagner

The end of year fundraising efforts have went far beyond my expectations. We have had 15 new Patrons sign up in the first day. Therefore, we only have 5 to go!

Let's close that gap so that we are able to continue our mission to, in the words of St. Pius X, "[bring forth] numerous works of zeal for the good of the Church, society, and individuals." (Il Fermo Proposito)

Will you join us in this mission of Catholic Action?
