Deus Vult

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

In the wake of Charlie's assassination, many people are demanding that we redouble our devotion to the "free marketplace of ideas." The call seems at first glance courageous and noble. In reality, it is reckless and impractical. We had an open marketplace of ideas; the Left shot it up.

Not only have extreme leftists committed violence in the marketplace of ideas; more scandalous still, mainstream left-wing voices have cheered and made light of the violence. There can be no open marketplace—of ideas or anything else—under such conditions.

Marketplaces require rules, confidence, and common media of exchange. They require, in other words, order. Liberty requires order. One cannot be both free and undisciplined, for instance, or free and ignorant. We know this philosophically, and we also know it intuitively. It's why we don't let toddlers vote.

What we require now is the reassertion of order. We must insist upon the acceptance of basic truths and moral goods, not as the asymptotic goal of endless debate but as the axiomatic foundation without which debate cannot occur. We must foreclose certain antisocial behaviors and suicidal ideologies. We must, to borrow a phrase from Chesterton, stop "the thought that stops thought."

In practical terms, this means we must stigmatize certain evil ideas and behaviors, and we must ostracize people who insist upon them. More practically, this means that people who persist in such disorder should lose their social standing. In certain cases, they should lose their jobs. There must be consequences.

With any political reform, it is wise to err on the side of caution. The offenses that merit such ostracism should be particularly egregious. A good place to begin would be with those who celebrate the murder of an innocent man.

What if Protestantism was inevitable? 🤔

[Cardinal Burke @cardinalrlburke]

The world and Satan try in every way possible to tell us that it is not possible to live in the Truth and Love of Christ, to follow His command to deny ourselves and take up our cross. On the contrary, by the grace of the Holy Spirit at work in us, even the weakest and poorest soul is capable of knowing Divine Truth and practicing Divine Love, and of attaining its reward: Eternal Life.

Tolerance IS NOT a Christian virtue

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I was watching highlights from President Carter’s funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. I found some of the speeches very moving. But I was appalled when two country singers launched into a rendition of John Lennon’s "Imagine."  Under the soaring vault of what I think is still a Christian church, they reverently intoned, “Imagine there’s no heaven; it’s easy if you try” and “imagine there’s no country; it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too.” Vested ministers sat patiently while a hymn to atheistic humanism was sung. This was not only an insult to the memory of a devoutly believing Christian but also an indicator of the spinelessness of too much of established religion in our country.

Catholicism is beautiful! 🙏🏼🕯️

Rorate Mass at our apostolate in Wausau, WI, @MaryOratory

You should interview Fr. Lawrence Carney. He was the Chaplin for her before she died, so he could definitely share some stories about her. I know him personally as well and he is one of the most holy priest I have ever met. He is also a very big propagator of the Holy Face devotion and I think it would be very interesting to have him on your show.

Under Kamala Harris, Fr. Fidelis Moscinski CFR was arrested and jailed on a number of occasions for praying for the unborn.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Pray the Rosary, our greatest weapon against evil…

One of the most important questions of them all.

Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. (Mt 16:15-19)
