It was claimed that having the TLM at parishes was divisive. So, paradoxically, faithful Catholics were forcibly divided from their parish communities and sent long distances away, that they may not worship in the same spaces as their neighbors. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/inside-the-remaining-charlotte-tlm

Our ancestors built for Heaven. We build for efficiency. But in Buffalo, I found a church that still remembers what beauty is for.

The crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial reminds us of a reality that we have forgotten: that those who die for a cause only inspire others to follow them. We live in an age of comfort and uninspired leaders. We crave something more.

“It’s not political,” they say. But the Annunciation church shooting didn’t happen in a vacuum. Attempts at neutrality in the face of cultivated madness condemn us to a self-imposed blindness.

In modern Britain, flying the national flag has become an act of protest. What does it mean when patriotism itself is treated as subversive, and what warning does this hold for the rest of the West?

We don’t know how to rest because we are somewhat under-developed. An educational system (and corresponding societal structure) set up solely to create workplace skills has resulted in a people who don’t know who they are when departed from that work.
