Operum Senecae deditus linguae Latinaeque, philologus doctrinarum Patrum Latinorum, et librorum helluo sum.

This Twitter account is dedicated to the Saint Mary Magdalene (Sancta Maria Magdalena); who alone with God knows the darkest abscesses of my heart.

May her tears, in some small way, aid my Lord’s blood in washing me forever clean.

Who better to ask about the bubonic plague than a medieval historian? Well, yes, maybe a doctor... But my stories are better.

I agree with Secretary of State @marcorubio speech in defense of western civilization delivered in the shadow of the Parthenon. A good place to start would be with teaching it in our schools again.

Like most world leaders, Trump's most revered audience is History itself.

Spending this week and last week recording the audiobook version of my new book, The Fall of Republics: A History. Just a few more sessions.

Why did I write such a long book? 😄

Ergo electa dilectrix et dilecta electrix dei, ego miser rogo te beatam, tenebrosus illuminatam, peccator iustificatam, immundus mundatam.

...myself, miserably cast down into the depths of vice, bowed down with the weight of crimes, thrust down by my own hand into a dark prison of sins...

Therefore... I, in my misery, pray to you, in my darkness, I ask for light; in my sins, redemption; impure, I ask for purity.

Trials are unavoidable. They can be nuisances but they are for our benefit.

It might sound like a conspiracy theory, but the academic world, dominated by woke professors, doesn't want YOU to learn Latin.

They aim to control the language to reshape the ancient world according to their modern ideologies.

@AntigoneJournal Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream

My shangri la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
As the dust that floats high in June
We're moving through Kashmir

J. Page, R. Plant 1975

What is Faith, St Peter asks #Dante.
"To my mind one cannot talk of Faith without examining logic, for the fundamental essence of Faith is that man believes in the existence of God in the absence of such logic, without evidence; indeed, in the total absence of proof.”

[Beyond The Inferno @AuthorALMoretti]

Grab any chance to repent, to redeem yourself through penance Dante advises, as this will spiritually cleanse the soul & prepare it for ascension. No one enters Heaven without Faith, he reminds us, & to reach the celestial spheres is to enjoy eternal life with God in His Kingdom.

[Beyond The Inferno @AuthorALMoretti]

Why did #Dante write #DivinaCommedia?
To remind earthly man that to renounce sin, to atone and repent and restore one's faith in God is to attain salvation, for in death, all seek eternal life in the perfection and bliss that is #Paradise.

@AuthorALMoretti I've never seen the Maze Runner stuff, but I hear Wes Bell is a good director. And Josh Friedman is a very coveted writer in Hollywood right now.

Should be a good film.
