The first casualty of Cristina Kirchner's new law




The worst tragedy that can happen to a man: to go straightforward from a nightmare to the eternal dream, to encounter eternity after celebrating such undignified event. To enter into eternity as a disembodied spirit, exposed and without hope of a new, immortal body and destined to a hell.

Seminar: Introduction to Traditionalism



An online course is offered through a website from Greece.

Perhaps not one of the best texts to teach an introduction to traditionalism...talking about Mark Sedgwick's book. The "further readings" recomendations are more in line.

===

Texts: Mark Sedgwick, Against the Modern World: Traditionalism and the Secret Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century, Oxford University Press, 2004.

Further readings will include various primary sources including (but not limited to) Guenon, Evola, Schuon, Eliade, Coomaraswamy, Smith, Michell, de Benoist, recent examples of Radical Traditionalism including the Tyr journal.

Los combates del Abbé de Nantes



Le fascisme est une réaction de salut contre la démocratie parlementaire et contre le péril bolchevique
-- Abbé Georges de Nantes, CRC au XXe siècle, N°105 Mai 1976

Un recordatorio del Abbé(en ingles) fallecido el 15 de febrero de este año.

"Combats, certainly – though he never sought them for their own sake. His dream was the founding of a missionary order of monks according to the rule of Blessed Charles de Foucauld, intended to work in North Africa. From three monks, the founder and two of his former students, the canonically established order expanded to include a sizeable group of monks and one of sisters, and a convent and monastery of sisters and brothers in Canada."

San Maximiliano Kolbe




What in the world wants to take away our humanity and turn us into animals?
Advertising treats us like animals who cannot control our appetites.
Pornography treats us like animals who cannot control our desires.
Everytime we give into our basest desires and instincts we are no more than an animal.

But we are made in the image and likeness of God!
We have a dignity that no one can take from us.
...
Nothing could keep Maximilian from loving.
Not hatred, not beatings, not even death by starvation!

Each one of us should not be afraid to step out of the assembly line of life and declare that we are not consumers, we are not animals, we are not social security numbers.
we are human beings made in the image and likeness of God

And that love and nothing else is the reason for our existence and the motivation of all we do!

Homily given on the Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe, August 14, 2010
by Fr. Patrick Greenough, OFM Conv.

The Passion Revisited



Amazing!...I'm confused.

"Thank God, Rabbi Lichten went on to tell us in his lectures in Rome in 1973, things were changing for the better. He credited the Second Vatican Council (which he attended as an official observer), which taught in its document Nostra Aetate that it was downright wrong to blame the Jews collectively for the crime of killing the Son of God. He happily pointed to the revision of the Good Friday liturgy, and—to the point—to "the brave action" of the Archbishop of Munich (whose pastoral jurisdiction includes Oberammergau), Cardinal Julius Doepfner, who had refused to approve the 1970 Play until it had reformed the script to bring it in line with the council's teaching."
