Long Live Warfare!

Either we fight or we die today (and if not physically, then certainly morally, by abdicating our duty as fathers, citizens or Christians; or by ostracism, compromise, or worse, by conformist servility to all laws and regulations, especially unjust).

Darwin on Trial

Far from having concrete evidence to support evolutionism, Darwinists have produced one of the greatest deceptions in the history of science by fabricating archaeological evidence, counterfeiting analyses, and creating an absurd chronology.

Roots of Far-Left Radical Rhetoric and Tactics

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” – A Pillar of Iron by Taylor Caldwell

Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori and the Art of Christian Meditation

“Prayer is a treasure; he who prays most receives most.” This statement, along with the one asserting that without prayer no one can attain salvation, represents a true axiom for Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori (1696–1787). [i] The conviction with which he endeavored to spread among the Christian people the teaching about the power of prayer has caused his books to be read and disseminated in hundreds of editions, up to the present day.

Where are Heaven and Hell?

This is the heart of the matter. God Himself became man to draw our attention to our absolute priority, His Kingdom. At the same time, He showed us the way by which we can reach it. That way is none other than that confessed by all the Saints and Doctors, by all the true representatives of the Church – Popes, Bishops, or Priests – namely penance.

The King is Dead. Long Live the King! Kulaks, Stay Alert!

Writing in Repubblica, Massimo Giannini reveals what the powers that be think about the tractor protests in Europe. With a dismissive wave of contempt and class warfare, the Italian Leftist brands Europe’s courageous farmers as “Kulaks,” richly deserving of yet another Final Solution, this time for protesting the Green New Holodomor in Europe.

A Man for all Seasons or the Price of Loyalty

One of the major challenges that any art creator faces relates to the difficulty of “imitating,” of representing sanctity. Usually, as we see in the famous sculpture The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680), [i] the artist depicts in a very corporeal and external manner the indescribable realities of mystical life. Typically, he does not personally know how an ecstasy is or what it concretely means to be a saint. Bernini had no experience comparable to the “transverberation” of Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582). For a similar reason, actors and actresses who portray saints find themselves in a difficult situation. How can they imitate individuals in communion with God, which is hard for us ordinary people to understand? The success of a film about the life of a saint depends entirely on the answer to this question. And those cinematic creations that have convincingly portrayed the lights and shadows of sanctity are rare. One such creation, a truly gem, is A Man for All Seasons (1966) by Fred Zinnemann. Although each of us can imagine Saint Thomas More (1478–1535) based on preserved sources, Paul Scofield’s brilliant performance offers us a plausible portrait of the author of Utopia.
