Friday of Memorial Day Weekend Pile of Prep

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “Kneel where our loves are sleeping, Dear ones days gone by, Here we bow in holy reverence, Our bosoms heave the heartfelt sigh. They fell like brave men, true as steel, And pour'd their blood like rain, We feel we owe them all we have, And can but weep and kneel again. CHORUS Kneel where our loves are sleeping, They lost but still were good […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “Why, you may ask, is it worth glossing the vitriol aimed at Barrett for her Catholicism? The point is an illustrative one, and only one of countless examples: Catholic Jim Caviezel has been blackballed from Hollywood for starring in fellow Catholic Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ; Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr has been smeared for being “neck-deep in extremist Catholic institutions”; the FBI […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “This new culture of abundance and consumption enabled, even encouraged, men and women to alter their identities as often as they pleased, and to do so without anxiety, fear, shame, or remorse. There was little about modern America that was fixed and stable. The inflation of desire, the longing for a greater number and variety of commodities in an expanding world of plenty, further diluted […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “Toward the end of the nineteenth century, a new culture emerged in the United States. At its heart was the quest for wealth, security, comfort, and pleasure.

Tuesday Pile of Prep – Trump And US Exonerated By Durham Report!

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “This sickness, this psycho social experiment, just gets weirder and weirder. I hope a huge number of people cancel their SI subscriptions, like people swore off of Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney stunt. Even so, I remain mystified as to why the institutions of our society keep pushing this garbage. The freaking Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, of all things! This is the sexual equivalent […]

Reminding us in the words of St Thomas that “no man can live without pleasure,” Kalpakgian asserts that the “greatest source of happiness” is “the enjoyment of persons.” In other words, communicating with, loving, and serving our fellow […]

Hodierna Verba Veritatis et Sapientiae “His [M.E.

Jaffa argued that the Declaration was a revolutionary document. That it founded America on the principle of equality. That “equality…is then both good in itself and good for […]
