Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
The composer and musician for much of the "sort-of Old Folk Mass" finds himself in hot water: Three women on Wednesday accused Catholic composer David Haas of sexual misconduct, the country’s leading Catholic newspaper reported. In an article in The National Catholic Reporter, the women detailed nonconsensual sexual acts by Mr. Hass when they were …

From Joseph DeHarbe's A Full Cathechism of the Catholic Religion: Awful events, which make nature shudder, remain as yet to be related. We would fain pass them over in silence, if they were not most instructive for us. As with all human productions, so it fared with the doctrine of Luther; it became antiquated, it …
He's done another video in the wake of the "unearthing" of Michael Scanlan's prophecies: https://youtu.be/bOcLUeEOvD0 Let's be honest, Ralph: we've been here before. And you dodged the serious question that never seems to change. Back in 1982 you wrote a book entitled A Crisis of Truth, where you documented the drift from both Biblical truth …

Ralph Martin has posted a follow-up to his broadcast of Michael Scanlan's prophecy: https://youtu.be/-R2b_45nBJI There's a lot to unpack here. First, much of what he says is fine. One of the things I've tried to do is to discourage people from leaning too hard on the benefits of the civilisation (such as it is.) The …

I've been puzzled about the spike this week in the stats for this post about Michael Scanlan and the University of Steubenville. A friend of mine put me on to an email blast from Ralph Martin; a video version of this is below: https://youtu.be/2XnxThW3wq0 My response to this was as follows: Now I understand the …
A neglected topic taken up by Bossuet in his Elevations on the Mysteries: When God wanted to give Moses the law on Mount Sinai, we read four important things. He descended to the sound of thunder and trumpets. The whole mountain seemed on fire, and one could see a flame break out in a cloud …

Recently I wrote a post for another of my blogs entitled Do We Need a New Math to Understand Physics? where I discussed yet another article I linked to, Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math. It's probably too technical for most readers of this blog, although seeing Tolkien …

He's done it, in his interview with Kevin Turley of EWTN. https://youtu.be/nc3vA7TztXk When he took the Profession of Faith, I'm sure that Gavin thought he had crossed the river and "swam the Tiber."Â But when he was interviewed by EWTN, he went #straightouttairondale and crossed the Rubicon; from that there's really no turning back. An …

It was a vicious counter-attack, to be sure, and had the desired effect: I regret my foolish and ill-considered remarks about masks and mask wearing on Twitter on Tuesday, May 14. Masks are clearly indicated in many situations. I used over-heated rhetoric and false analogies. It was wrong for me to impugn the intentions and …
