Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "The telly-man said he should not go outside, he should not go to Target or get his hairs dyed. ‘Twould be good if he could shun the whole human race, and he abso-must-lutely start covering his face. He listened intently; did as he was told, because Morton very much wanted to grow old. That bat-bug was nasty, the whole world could see. It was hell-bent […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "It is a matter of straightforward historical fact that what defines liberalism in its origins is a rejection of Christianity, specifically in the form of the Catholic Church, at least in its actual historical condition in the Middle Ages.[10] The basic question is whether this rejection actually served to bring out the deepest truths of the Gospel regarding individual freedom and dignity, which coincides with […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "Some might ask why Catholics should be concerned by such ideas that appear removed from their daily lives. However, the themes of both schools are found all over postmodern culture. Transhumanist ideas permeate Hollywood films and mold the minds of Elon Musk-type figures. Anti-humanist propaganda dominates today’s culture of death and eco-friendly anti-development models. No one escapes from these ideas."  - The Revolt Against Humanity- […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "F.A. Hayek said in 1960 that, “The aspirations of the great mass of the world’s population can today be satisfied only by rapid material progress.” That we are satisfied is questionable; that we have made “rapid material progress” the goal of our economies and individual lives is not.

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "I simply don't believe that any amount of catechesis is going to convince Catholics of the real presence while smiling Boomer women gather at the altar, apply their ritual Purell, then step down and casually hand the Eucharist to anyone who's willing to make the sacrifice of waiting in line for a minute."— Anonymous Response to Dreher's post asking for Catholic readers to respond to […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "What about the killing of children makes progressives willing to advocate for it against their humanism and conservatives willing to abdicate their faculty of judgment for its sake? It is insufficient to blame Roberts’ use of precedent if something about abortion tempts intelligent people to use precedent as a technique for assuaging their conscience, just as it tempts others to use the logic of competing […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "The Forty Days of Mary’s Purification are now completed, and she must go up to the Temple, there to offer to God her Child Jesus. Before following the Son and his Mother in this their mysterious journey, let us spend our last few moments at Bethlehem, in lovingly pondering over the mysteries at which we are going to assist."— Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Purification of […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae "The middle can very well be a maximum, a peak, but exactly such as will be found to be that center of gravity able to bear human existence between two abysses. Thus virtue stands, on the one hand, opposed to hybris, immoderation, in which man misses himself. Misrepresenting the truth about himself and the truth about reality, he tries to be a god, and failing […]
