Veritas et Sapientia-The Girlie Man Popularity of Jordan Peterson, Millennial Guru

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: Jordan Peterson has done some yeoman's work in the trenches of cultural correctness yet there is a nagging lack of The Thing in his presentations that has prevented me from becoming what my friend Debbie Schlussel describes as a "fan-boy". Gary Potter put this suspicion of mine into words and I am happy to reproduce them here courtesy of Brother André Marie's catholicism.org. - M.C.] […]

Veritas et Sapientia-‘Murican “Democracy” Cannot Sustain Itself Without The Faith

Mandeville, LA - The theory of democracy is, Construct your government and commit it to the people to be taken care of. Democracy is not properly a government; but what is called the government is a huge machine contrived to be wielded by the people as they shall think proper. In relation to it the people are assumed to be what Almighty God is to the universe, the first cause, the […]

Veritas et Sapientia- BaphoMET GAYla Analysis: Has Our Lady’s Promised Chastisement Begun

Mandeville, LA - “Mélanie, what I am about to tell you now will not always be a secret. You may make it public in 1858. The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honours and pleasures, the priests have become gutters of impurity. Yes, the priests […]

Veritas et Sapientia-In Praise of “Auto Constructed Bunkers”

Mandeville, LA - Joseph Pearce takes issue with George Weigel over the course of 'Murican Catholics in being "in the world" and not "of the world." The point of disagreement, if indeed it is a disagreement, comes in what Mr. Weigel says next. “The answer to that cultural crisis cannot be a retreat into auto-constructed bunkers,” he writes; “the answer must be the conversion of culture by well-educated men and […]

Veritas et Sapientia-Lessons From The Holiest Dishwasher Who Ever Prayed

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: I was searching for the source of my oft repeated phrase "something is either religious or it is irreligious" and stumbled upon the writings of a 17th century French monk named Brother Lawrence who was, wait for it, a discalced Carmelite dishwasher. The following is taken from his collected letters. - Ed. M.C.] "Let us thus think often that our only business in this life […]

Veritas et Sapientia – Witnesses To The Slaughter, The ‘Murican Catholic Males As Sheep

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's Note: Fr. Pokorsky hits upon themes I've covered hundreds of times in the last 7-8 years especially the mentality of Catholic men as sheep; blithely going along with the zeitgeist so as to keep the Netflix subscription and the 3 week family vacation well funded certainties while the fate of the souls who will participate is left to perfunctory Mass attendance if that even occurs; i.e. […]

Veritas et Sapientia – Dogma’s Got What Kids Crave

Mandeville, LA - All societies, in all times, have lived by dogmas. When dogmas are abandoned, the social bonds dissolve—swiftly or slowly; and the “open” society ceases to be a society at all, giving way to a new order. The need is not for emancipating the young from fixed convictions, but rather for reminding them that there are some convictions worth cherishing. The successor-society may be imposed upon a people from […]

Veritas et Sapientia – The Manly Virtues of Saint Joseph Taught Our Lord

Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: On the feast of Saint Joseph, the earthly foster-father of Our Lord, we should remember and honor the man that taught Jesus his vocation and his public manners. Brother André Marie's narrative of this is insightful. - Editor, M.C.] "But genes are not all that goes into a child. Whether we call it education, discipline, or training, the multi-faceted art of child-rearing impresses as much […]

Veritas et Sapientia – On The Absolute Necessity of Capital Punishment

Mandeville, LA - The abolition of capital punishment, I mean, is one of the products of humanitarianism—that is, of the belief that man’s cleverness will suffice for all purposes, without need for knowledge of the transcendent and the divine. The rejection of capital punishment in any circumstances thus is becoming an attitude which belongs to the intellectual and moral era that is passing. - Russell Kirk Yet humanitarianism is now a […]
