Propaganda and censorship have had a bad rap, pummeled in the twentieth century almost into swear words, but in their essence and etymology, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with them. They’ve just been put to bad use – and hence, have developed bad meanings. Propagare is Latin for the cognate English word ‘propagate’, to spread[…]
The March was Life was a breath of fresh air, in more ways than one – the 25th anniversary, if I am correct, of this witness for life. On a beautiful May Day, with temperatures in the mid-thirties (yes, that’s in Celsius, which I could not have written a week ago in this northern clime).[…]
The end result of this is tragic: not only is the fact of the destruction of so many human lives still to be born or in their final stage extremely grave and disturbing, but no less grave and disturbing is the fact that conscience itself, darkened as it were by such widespread conditioning, is finding[…]
The Holy Father just cannot let it go: In remarks made the other day on May 7th to liturgical scholars at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute of Sant’Anselmo – yes, I know, Anselm must be rolling in his reliquary – the Pope railed once more against ‘closed-minded’ Catholics, seeking a bygone uniformity in the Liturgy, closed[…]
This is an intriguing and informative summary of Klaus Schwab’s ‘Great Reset’ that I have come across, weaving together the radical economic policies of the World Economic Forum, with the allied notions (and aims) of transhumanism, man-machine interface, the ‘singularity’ and universal surveillance. A good deal of the aims of the Davos group is already[…]
The Gospel of Saint John is different from those of Matthew, Mark and Luke, which all begin with the man Jesus, who by his mighty deeds and compelling words led his disciples to discern his divinity. But John begins his narrative with Jesus as the eternal Word, who “was with God, and was God.” And[…]
May 9th is the liturgical feast of St George Preca (or as we Maltese know him as Dun Ġorġ), the Maltese diocesan priest who founded the Society of the Christian Doctrine, better known as M.U.SE.U.M. The Latin acrostic name means Magister Utiname Sequatur Evangelium Universus Mundus, (“MUSEUM”) whose English rendition is: “Teacher, O that the[…]
In the Supplica to the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, whose feast was on Sunday 8 May, the Holy Rosary is defined as the sweet Chain which binds us to God, Bond of love which unites us to the Angels, Tower of salvation against the assaults of hell, safe Haven in the universal shipwreck. The author[…]
George Weigel, papal biographer and social commentator, certainly has his fixed opinions, and I don’t mind that, even if I may at times disagree just as fixedly. I will leave aside his tendentious, one might say extreme, view of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which comes across as slightly unhinged. Even the Pope – who publicly kissed[…]
Anyone who is determined to reach his destination is not deterred by the roughness of the road that leads to it. Nor must we allow the charm of success to seduce us, or we shall be like a foolish traveller who is so distracted by the pleasant meadows through which he is passing that he[…]
