we can draw inspiration from the past, but we have to be guided by timeless ideas to create a new way of getting along for our own time. we have to be dynamic, resilient, and innovative

very important point

the high Middle Ages in Europe, for example, in important ways, was better than our own time, not because it’s older, but because it was better able to adequately channel timeless truths (e.g., Christianity) into the cultural norms that happened to befit the age

if we do the same today, it won’t look anything like the high Middle Ages, nor should we want it to

But, like men of that time, we would be adhering to eternal standards of the Good, True, and Beautiful, according to the framework of our own cultural milieu

“Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5)

“St. Augustine said, and the Council of Trent repeats: ‘God never commands the impossible. But He warns us to do what we can, and to ask of Him the grace to accomplish what we of ourselves cannot do, and He aids us to fulfill what He commands.’

Let us put our confidence in Jesus Christ, ‘the victim of propitiation for our sins,’ ‘the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world.’ ‘Let us go with confidence to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid.’” - Garrigou-Lagrange, Life Everlasting

“Humanity lost [spiritual] delights when it sinned in paradise. It went forth, its mouth closed against the food of eternal sweetness. We too are born amid the hardships of exile. We do not know what we ought to desire. The more we separate ourselves from partaking of this sweetness, the more does the disease of our loathing increase. We do not now desire inner [spiritual] pleasures since we have long been unaccustomed to taste them.

But Heavenly constancy does not abandon us who have abandoned Him. He calls us before the eyes of our memory the [spiritual] delights we have rejected, and sets them before us again. By a promise He drives away our lethargy; He invites us to rid ourselves of our loathing.” - Pope St. Gregory the Great

These wojak "yes" characters doing a lot of heavy lifting for unoriginal/unfunny faggots online

we are entering year 1,000,000 of "chad yes" wojak

Christ’s admonition to the rich can apply just as much to the poor

even someone who utterly lacks material goods can in principle still have far more avarice in their heart through envy than, say, a philanthropic billionaire who remains spiritually detached from his wealth

Next Sunday (9/18) I’ll be joined with Charlie laying out my full position on the SSPX and why I hold to that position

cozy.tv/classicaltheist

what was once sacred in the Old Covenant was for all intents and purposes summed up most excellently in three characteristic components: temple, priesthood, and sacrifice

none of these three are preserved in post-70 AD Judaism

whereas all of them are fulfilled perfectly in Christ, Who is Himself the perfect Temple, Sacrifice, and Priest, perpetually made visibly manifest through the sacramental Life of His Mystical Body on Earth, the Church

At 8:30 EST I’ll be joined by Charlie discussing my position on the SSPX

the objective criteria for mortal sin that the Church has always recognized combined with the dogma of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation) necessarily yields Lumen Gentium’s interpretation of the dogma

this shouldn’t even be controversial
