Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?
“He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:8-11)
In the final stages of a (currently very long) essay on Fr. Vincent McNabb O.P., a dominican friar and Catholic radical of the interwar period, deeply influential on Dorothy Day, Chesterton, Maritain and (I strongly suspect) J.R.R. Tolkien. McNabb’s activism was in part an extension of the Arts and Crafts movement’s political expression,…

“These three events in our Lord’s life—the Last Supper, the crucifixion and the resurrection—form a single redemptive act, which we call the Paschal Mystery. In the same way, ‘Though chronologically three days,’ the three days of the Paschal Triduum ‘are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery.’ Likewi…

Michael and Satan Fight for the Body of Moses
Commentaries on the Letter of Jude are more interesting than you might expect. There’s a lot going on in these 459 words. F’rinstance, Jude 9 is a real rabbit hole: ”But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounc…

Just finished this wonderful book. A great little read in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and an insightful exposé from a Father of Vatican II.
This is how a Christian acts…. Good for you Erick!

Economics aside in the bid for Ukraine to be admitted to
NATO at Vilnius. It could, as is
pointed out in TC's great essay, be Putin's tipping point.
I think Biden and Germany, perhaps Britain's Sunak also
will push to withhold membership at this time.
There are other European
NATO members, regardless
of Poland, who will not want
to take the chance and I can't
blame them. A little word of
caution here, considering the
fact that our security services
withhold "need to know" info
from the general public. Are
we 100% sure Belarus hasn't
acquired WMDs? And then,
there's Wagner.
Putin is up to something and
it won't be pretty. He plays his own long game.
I do wish we and our allies had given Ukraine the armaments and artillery it
has needed much earlier than
we have. They should have had air dominion from the
beginning.
If you haven't seen recent pictures of Bakma you should take a look. A thriving
center totally destroyed. Absolutely demolished. And
that's just 1 city. There are
others just as bad.
Yet the "people" persevere. They want their freedom. ❤
