Humility is not an attribute which we can teach. It is a character trait which is learned by experience. We can elaborate to the humbled person upon that principle by teaching him about the greatest humiliation of all, the incarnation and crucifixion of Jesus. And the best occasion for such instruction is that of his […]

Nov., 2022 Dear “Church,” What keeps you from excommunicating your arch-heretic, Joe Biden? Are you dependent upon the donations of those apostate members who remain committed to the pro-abort Democratic party? Are you a whore that you would take money from heretics and nominal Christians in exchange for abandoning justice – church discipline? Your deluded […]

Parents, indeed, of twelve we are; Anastasia will not be forgotten. Four months she was in the womb; We could have used another good girl! But our Lord does according to His will (Sometimes it is other than a thrill.); He gives, indeed, and He takes away. And what against Him would we say? What […]

A Place Fit For (Fools, Ignoramuses, Rebels, and Egotists) What, essentially, is a sinner? A person fit for the fire, A Foolish, Ignorant, Rebellious Egotist; One who the worship of God resists.He imagines himself in need of no God; Thinks there’ll be no eternal rod;Passes off Jesus as a piece of lore; Ignores Him like […]

John O’Sullivan writes for National Review (Oct., 25, 2022): “The truth of the matter is that the West never confronted the radical evil of Communism as it confronted that of Nazism. Both Left and Right had their reasons for forgetting the past as Communism imploded in front of them: The Right wanted a smooth diplomatic […]

Re: The Retention of Biden on the Romanist Rolls One of the great, blatant but unmentioned, scandals of our time is the retention of Joe Biden a member of the Roman Catholic Church. How does this church maintain credibility, not to mention holiness, when it retains the likes of this prominent Holocaustian on its membership […]

They buy up houses or land and invest nothing in development, beautification, improvement – to the chagrin of the neighbors who must endure the disparaging condition of the degrading property. They care, apparently, nothing for their neighbor’s property and their well-being, but seek only their own advancement in wealth. ‘Tis really nothing new. Human depravity […]

They buy property, especially houses, and invest as little as possible; just enough to sustain the house so that it does not deteriorate. Otherwise, they have no interest in living in the neighborhood and building social bonds with anyone. The house may be a mess and even a haunt for the occasional derelict drifter who […]

It used to be that we had two major legitimate political parties in America. Both were within the boundaries of standard Christian morality: one favored bigger government and the expenditure of tax money for “the needy”(as defined variously by differing opinions; the other favored leaving the citizens’ money with each citizen to care for himself […]
