Don't miss CQ's latest article discussing the TLM and the liturgy controversy.

Whether you're a radtrad or Marty Haugen's biggest fan, we're sure you'll find some reason to write your take on it: https://t.co/rLIrdttXVJ

@CatholicRob After converting, yes. But he's Albanian, and therefore not really Western.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

Ethnically perhaps. But this is much like saying Richard I is French bc he didn't speak a word of English. The aristocracy of the time was lowkey their own ethnicity and played by different rules. But for all intents and purposes, Hunyadi was Hungarian, which is why he is one of their national heroes, and not one of Romania. And even that gets a bit iffy, as Romania was the crossroads between West and East, like the Ohio of Europe (Vlachs literally meaning "Latin speakers"). So it was a bit of a coin toss. Vlad II Dracul was a Vlach who was set on the Wallachian throne by the Hungarians, and his son Dracula was raised in the "Hungarian manner" (likely Catholic, as evidenced by his feuds with the local, truly *eastern* orthodox Boyars). But Dracula and his father are still enough of a mixed bag wrt to their Romanian connections to be truly *Western* imo. Not so with Hunyadi.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@CatholicRob He was Hungarian (Latin Catholic). Hungary is the easternmost outpost of the West

Lots to unpack in this post and image.

Confirms: what people actually want in the TLM for the most part is actually the community that takes Catholicism seriously, not the aesthetics or even the liturgy itself.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@FredSimonTLM How we feel about this at Christendom Quarterly.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@AveChristusRex7 @CatholicRob The correct answer.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@Catholicizm1 Lot of issues with Francis, but good God the man had a heart the size of Jupiter. No thinking person can deny this.

Pope haters coping eternally.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@Marcellinoposts @andrewratelle Support the victim of the attack last Monday, Stephen Ogilvie here. He is still in recovery, and it will likely be a long road for him.

New podcast out on the Irish Happenings.
A lot of accounts out here are trying to make the Belfast riots into an English protestant thing.

They are most assuredly not.

They are an Irish thing.

Christendom Quarterly contributors @Marcellinoposts and @andrewratelle discuss the complicated web of irish political violence.

What do the recent happenings mean for the right, for Catholicism, for Ireland?

Post in the comments.

Our ancestors were rarely judged primarily by the color of their skin, but instead judged (correctly) by cultural character.

In the accounts from the 11th and 12th centuries, there is hardly a word about skin color from the chroniclers and Crusaders themselves.

There is, on the other hand, a high readiness to judge races or peoples, and even place them in hierarchies, based on their experience of them.

The Crusaders, for example, had great admiration for the Seljuq Turks.

They attributed the Seljuqs' fighting prowess to their virtue and nobility and often lamented that they were not Christian.

They even contrast their manliness to gay, bitchy EO Greeks.

Other Muslim races are less respected.

For instance, they had moderate respect for the Saracens (Arabs, Kurds, Syrians, etc.)

And they reserved their most egregious judgment for the Egyptians, who they thought were a cowardly, backbiting people.

[Uubzu v4 @uubzu]

The enduring irony is that we were never judging them for “the color of their skin”, it wouldn’t even occur to Whites to do that. For nons, however, the color of OUR skin is liable to spawn a lifelong, insatiable envy

Maitiu Mag Tighearnan is the man who heroically intervened with a hurley stick to save the life of Stephen Ogilvie in Belfast this Monday night.

If there ever was a lad who deserved a pint, it's him.

[Maitiu 🇮🇪 ☘️ @BelfastBatmann]

New hurls bought

Cheers lads

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@SStricklandMMA Safe queen mindset lol.

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

@Catholicizm1 Hunter really did exchange rocks for gems holy crap

[Christendom Quarterly @ChristendomQ]

Smiting a fleeing criminal before offering the sacraments to the injured and returning to his community to pray the Office.

These are the kinds of priests we need. French priests like this are how the Faith spread in the American north. Never forget that.

[Fr Joseph Hudson @acloudofsaints]

A man crashed a stolen car outside St. Joseph Shrine. Then he bolted.

The Rector heard the crash and someone yelled "stop him."

So Rev. Jean-Baptiste Commins — in full cassock — tackled him, and held him until the police came.

Never underestimate a priest in a cassock.
