Wisdom Wednesday -Grace Is Available To Anyone

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "I think that this is the biggest challenge in the modern world here.  I don’t think that you can convince anyone of anything.  I think that you can put something in front of them and their goodwill is either going to act positively upon it or it’s going to reject it.  And I think this is where modern conservatism also just takes it off […]

Veritas et Sapientia – “Celebrating” Christmas Is Actually A Sign Of Christmas’s Decline

Mandeville, LA - "I do not know what Christmas in the United States is going to be like from now on. I frankly do not! I have seen how it has deteriorated in the past twenty-five years. I know the deceivers and haters of Jesus and Mary, across the street at Harvard College, will go through this Christmas religiously as fraudulently as they went through the last one. There will […]

Veritas et Sapientia – The “Liberal” Revolution Is At An End

Mandeville, LA - "Lastly, there is a fourth class of people who take whatever it is that they happen to want, and say that that is the ultimate aim of evolution. And these are the only sensible people. This is the only really healthy way with the word evolution, to work for what you want, and to call THAT evolution. The only intelligible sense that progress or advance can have […]

Veritas et Sapientia-Beware “Choice” It’s a Maiden In Black Silk

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: Thanks to Winston Elliott III for republishing this essay from Anthony Esolen at his Imaginative Conservative site, read the whole essay here.-M.C.] "Choice is the dragon of our day. It smuggles into its charcoal-smelling barrow not goblets and gilt pommels but human souls, one after another after another, enticing them there with “choices,” all of them more or less trivial, while it sits upon the […]

Veritas et Sapientia-Christianity Has Been Found Difficult And Left Untried

Mandevilla, LA - Of course, I mean that Catholicism was not tried; plenty of Catholics were tried, and found guilty. My point is that the world did not tire of the church's ideal, but of its reality. Monasteries were impugned not for the chastity of monks, but for the unchastity of monks. Christianity was unpopular not because of the humility, but of the arrogance of Christians. Certainly, if the church failed […]

Veritas et Sapientia-The Word Dogma Can Help Us, But We’d Have To Stop Treating It As a 4 Letter Word

Mandeville, LA - "Mr. George Moore began his literary career by writing his personal confessions; nor is there any harm in this if he had not continued them for the remainder of his life. He is a man of genuinely forcible mind and of great command over a kind of rhetorical and fugitive conviction which excites and pleases. He is in a perpetual state of temporary honesty. He has admired […]

Veritas et Sapientia – When orthodoxy Meets Orthodoxy, Chesterton Explains The Difference

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note - the following is excerpted from Chetserton's "Orthodoxy", a book written in response to critics loud protestations over his book "Heretics". The term "orthodox" employed by Chesterton is meant in its Original sense, as he explains.-Ed. M.C.] I add one purely pedantic note which comes, as a note naturally should, at the beginning of the book. These essays are concerned only to discuss the actual fact […]
