Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: This passage is excerpted from C.S. Lewis's book "The Abolition of Man" available in full text form, for free here.] "In what sense is Man the possessor of increasing power over Nature? Let us consider three typical examples: the aeroplane, the wireless, and the contraceptive. In a civilized community, in peace-time, anyone who can pay for them may use these things. But it cannot strictly […]
Mandeville, LA - "But who am I to look out the window at others, when the story is my own as well? All my siblings went belly up in small farming. I held on to the old homestead and a remnant 40 acres only by renting out to a superb farming corporation while earning my living from the coast. Such a strange Faustian bargain globalization proved to be: unlimited affluence […]
Mandeville, LA - One may be accused here of oversimplifying the historical process, but I take the view that the conscious policies of men and governments are not mere rationalizations of what has been brought about by unaccountable forces. They arc rather deductions from our most basic ideas of human destiny, and they have a great, though not unobstructed, power to determine our course.For this reason I turn to William of Occam […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: Michael Hanby is a philosopher that has some interesting things to say about our Constitutional system as being THE reason our Order is so DIS-ordered- M.C.] (Excerpted from Rod Dreher's The Dissolution of The Real) "First, says Hanby, the US Constitutional order presupposes the modern view of reality and nature. In that view of nature, there was no such thing as intrinsic order built into […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: I have met and read Allen Medenhall for years and always thought him brilliant. To use a quote from a book review as "truth and wisdom" might thus seem odd, but Mendenhall's channeling of the authors (Carey and Frohnnen) is in harmony with what he has written before. - M.C.] "If there is one take-home point from this book, it’s that government is not the […]
Mandeville, LA - "Liberal culture’s anti-child practices are bound up with a logic of childlessness most basically defined in terms of a forgetfulness of being and its Origin and expressed by the marginalization of philosophy, leisure, and liturgy as ways of being and acting. We can adequately addresseither these practices or this logic only by addressingboth of them at the same time. The argument is that we will succeed in […]
Mandeville, LA - "Gore Vidal once said that the three saddest words in the English language were Joyce Carol Oates. “President Hillary Clinton” would have dislodged the exophthalmic novelist from that epigram, but as for “President Donald Trump”… the jury is not only still out, the crime hasn’t even been committed yet, despite the drama queens caterwauling on the campuses. Around the time of the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq, I […]
Mandeville, LA - Editor's Note: I have a special devotion to Frances de Sales and read him often. Today, Rod Dreher is reacting to what he calls a lack of "decorum" but what is properly titled as an expression of immodesty. Saint Frances instructed his monks about the beauty of modest behavior and the horrid ugliness of immodest behavior. - Mike Church "Our Blessed Father, speaking of the virtue of […]
Mandeville, LA - "The phenomenon of white flight, of physical separation between the ideological cannon fodder classes and the liberal ruling class, represents the harvest of this economic energy. Functional liberal ruling and productive working classes require a frontier into which they can escape from the consequences of liberalism’s triumphs. What cities like Baltimore and Detroit show is that even in America this is breaking down: instead of the head fake […]
