What is Posthumanism and what does it mean for theology? First of all, any movement or time period with the prefix “post” attached to it (Postmodernism for example) lacks substance by its very name. It is literally defined by what came before it, precisely as just coming after it. Today we live in an era…
Desiderio desideravi: “with desire have I desired,” Our Lord said to His Disciples before the Last Supper, “to eat this Pasch with you.” The quaint Latin phrase is a literal translation of the Greek of the Gospels (Luke 22:15; Matthew 13:14), but it is no less quaint in Greek. It is in fact an expression…
The Roman Pontiff has finally “commented” on the landmark Dobbs case against the unborn holocaust in the American Empire (and indirectly, the world). Asked about the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling establishing a woman’s right to have an abortion, Francis said he respected the decision but did not have…
Founding Mythos Florida is an often maligned and misunderstood place. A region shrouded in mystery from its inception even until today. It is enigmatic, the subtropical womb in which the first European American civilization was born. A forgotten Catholic and Hispanic society, erased by those that came after. In many ways the history of Florida…
Above: the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception as viewed from the Washington monument in DC, shown displaying the US flag. Brothers and Sisters, for freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. For you were called for freedom, brothers and sisters. But do not…
Entropy, in physics, describes the measure of disorder. In the entire universe there is a rise in disorder as, slowly but surely, energy dissipates. You know how this works in daily life. When your ice cube melts, heat, energy, goes into the ice, not cold into the air, even though if you put your hand…
Above: For Spain and for the King, Galvez in America (2016) by Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau Nieto (b. 1964) Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. –John F Kennedy, May 1961…
Editor’s note: due to the importance of the Fourth of July for our current crisis post-Vatican II, we will publish a number of Catholic perspectives on America and Americanism (see the first article “The United States of Freemasonry” by D. L. Gray). The article below, originally published by Catholic Family News, addresses the Catholic claim that the…
Above: Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Conca. The Franciscan presence in Mexico is enormous. Visit any city or town in the country and you are sure to see a Franciscan monastery; in many cases these are massive edifices which are pretty hard to miss. The one in Izamal, Yucatan, for example, is so…
Above: Pope Francis and Nancy Pelosi yesterday, who has been excommunicated by her own bishop. Editor’s note: in light of yesterday’s tacit approval to pro-abortion Catholic Nancy Pelosi given by the Roman Pontiff in the midst of his silence regarding the Dobbs decision, we publish this important perspective from Mr. John Smeaton, reflecting on the…
Above: Pope Francis at the Consecration of Russia on the Annunciation, 2022 (Diane Montagna). Editor’s note: as a reminder, we do not take a stand about certain Trad controversies re: Fatima, but we publish all Trad views which are within our editorial stance. If anyone wants to submit anything in rebuttal to Mr. Hall, please…
