Above: Patronal Festivity in Saint Louis, Missouri, 2022 On August 25th, my alarm clock rang at 3:45 a.m. The previous evening, we chant enthusiasts had parted with the words, “Tenebrae et Matutinum” (dark and early). With solemn vespers, we had ushered in the third annual Festival of Saint Louis, a liturgical whirlwind in honor of…

It has been surprisingly easy for the Anti-Christian Revolution, that is now in full course, to throw the West into Cultural Marxist ‘Woke’ spiritual and cognitive confusion.

The STRANGER, having disembarked from his ship, enters the city. There, he happens upon the CITIZEN, who is leaving the market. C: Hello, stranger. I see you’re coming from the docks.
