The priests remember Pope Leo XIV, Vicar of Saint Peter and Servus servorum Dei, by name at Mass in the Canon, and he deserves our prayers: but none need think him a saint nor agree with his ecclesiastical and temporal policies. 'Cor ingrediens duas vias non habebit successus'.

Off on the Eurostar to Brussels, then train to Leuven, to what will hopefully prove a very interesting conference on the traditional liturgy in the life of the Church today. 🚄😊

The women chosen to run things in the Vatican ought to be believing Catholics.
Sister Mary Barron, the latest woman to be named a superior of a Vatican office, spoke about the Church’s missionary spirit, women’s role in Church leadership, and the possibility of women being ordained as priests.

Will be posting less than usual between now and November 1st due to the lecture trip on which I'm embarked (or will soon be, Deo volente; the overnight flight to Brussels has been delayed...). Please say a prayer that all goes well, ad laudem Dei et Virginis Mariae!

Alors que des milliers de vidéos ont exposé au monde entier le chaos des émeutes, notre président de la République, en fuite à Bahreïn, nous explique sans honte qu’elles ont été causées par l’IA et l’ingérence étrangère.
Il existe bien, en effet, une ingérence étrangère, sauf qu’elle est démographique, et ce sont les Macron, Attal et Philippe qui, en dix ans, ont fait entrer des millions d’immigrés en France. Dont un certain nombre nous détestent, nous haïssent et l’ont bien démontré le 17 et 18 octobre.
Il est temps d’assumer vos responsabilités et les conséquences de vos choix, Monsieur le Président.

I'm looking forward to the imminent #RETVRN of the old Diocese of Lincoln, which will absorb the current dioceses of Lincoln, Ely, Leicester, Peterborough, St Albans and Oxford 👍

Castitās ex corde nāscitur et in corde perficitur.
(Meditation in Latin)
__
Castitās chrīstiāna continentiam et pudicitiam superat: pudor enim et turpium libīdinum abstinentia nātūrā dūce lēgumque vī obtinērī possunt, castitās vērō ex corde nāscitur et in corde perficitur. Quī castus, ipse pudīcus est et continēns. Neque tamen omnis pudīcus et sobrius castitātem chrīstiānam necessāriō est adeptus.
Lex enim Deī eiusmodī est, quae nōn externīs sōlum mōribus, quīn etiam intimō animī sensū servanda sit. Quoniam animum Deus intuētur, ipsīus animī pūram sincēramque castitātem integritātemque perquīrit.
Quae tamen est intima causa quae ad hanc virtūtem chrīstiānōs penitus movet? Ea est recta amōris ratiō. Amor enim, quō omnia appetimus, secundum cujusque reī dignitātem moderandus est: oportet Deum māximē dīligere, prōximum autem sīcut nōs ipsōs, cēterās rēs atque ipsās hūmānās voluptātēs nōn in sē, sed quantum ad majōrem fīnem dīrigantur.
Nihil igitur juvat continēre tē ab hāc et ab illā turpī voluptāte nisi īmō corde rectam amōris ratiōnem colās. Quī enim mortālia prō Deō expetit, ut docet Augustinus, corde adulterō vīvit.
In adipiscendā castimōniā multī labōrant atque saepe in bellō contrā temptātiōnēs succumbunt voluptātis illecebrīs, nōn quod virtūs ardua sit, sed quod continentiam sōlam respiciunt, dum Deum super omnia amāre nōn cūrant. Temptātiōnibus diū resistere nōn possumus, nisi amōris dīvīnī flammā aestuāmus.
Recta igitur rectēque amāre dēbēmus: quem quidem amōrem pudicitia et continentia sequuntur. Sed quō pactō amōrem rectē moderārī possumus? Opus est omnia dīvīnā sapientiā perpendere: Itaque bene precāmur cum Spīritum Sanctum ā Deō postulāmus: “dā nōbīs in eōdem Spīritū recta sapere”.

Here is a short film made from an excerpt of my America 250 poem, "The First of Modern Nations."
Is America a young nation, or the embodiment of centuries-old ideals? Poet @JMWSPT addresses this question beautifully in his poem The First of Modern Nations, republished in full in The Believe! Journal.
