Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
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." 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 …

That sentiment came to mind when I read this comment on my posting of the Word of God album All of Your People: I was worship leader in an Antioch CA prayer group and an Assemblies of God mission for 5 years in the '90's where I used these songs. I first heard them at …
Fr. Schmidt: We don’t often consider that for huge portions of the Church’s history, frequent Communion was not all that common. To receive at only the highest feasts, just a few times throughout the year—always after making a good Confession—was the much more typical practice. Otherwise, Catholics would attend Mass every Sunday or more often, […] …

In addition to the Elevations on the Mysteries, the other work which Bossuet put to paper in anticipation of “the last hour” was this one: Meditations on the Gospel. It is our special pleasure to present this to you in its virtual entirety. See the full page: Meditations on the Gospel
It’s a little late in the game, I know, but I just discovered that the venerable Society of St. Pius X had posted for this Lent soon past a series from Bossuet’s Meditations on the Gospel. The series is as follows: Jesus’ Victory and Power Over Death Jesus’ Friendship Is a Model For Ours Profusion […] …

From Bossuet's Elevations on the Mysteries: We have explained elsewhere the sacred oracles of the prophets on our Lord Jesus Christ. I will say here in brief that they have seen everything: his two births, the first all divine, from the days of eternity; the place marked for the second in Bethlehem; a virgin who …
