I'm currently writing a defense of the revelations of Christ to St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion in response to the attacks from (some) radical traditionalists. Buckle up.

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,…

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?
A “Breakfast Club” reunion is making the news. So, now’s a good time to read the piece I wrote a few months back for its 40th anniversary.

在注册 Substack 之前，我写了十年的独立博客，在 2013 年注册了自己的第一枚域名，那时候坚信我对独立博客的选择是正确的。
往后的十年，购买服务器，建立博客，换主题，写文章，搜集友链，乐此不疲。但在文章评论区回应的，来来去去都是那么几个，时间久了，也都是圈子里的人在互访。
现在已经对简中互联网颇为失望，无论是移动端还是网页端。 Substack 是少数让我眼前一亮的社区，这里排版舒服简洁，有短文即时分享想法，也有深思熟虑系统严谨的长文，更是对长期发展有利的付费订阅模式。
再看简中，全都转向了手机 APP。流量较高且是文字载体的公众号的网页端体验也不好。

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

With Holy Week approaching, I was thinking of sharing a short daily meditation from St. Thomas Aquinas. Nothing from me—just his wisdom—but I’d do my best to walk you through it and help you understand it. Would that interest you?

It's Holy Thursday and all over the world, Catholic priests at tonight’s Mass will re-enact Christ washing the feet of his disciples the night before he died.

Just finished my favorite Holy Week tradition of deep cleaning the house and cleaning up the yard with the kids. Clean soul, clean house. All ready for these days to begin! Time to change out of bunny ears and don my veil for Solemn High Mass. I just love the Triduum!

Schopenhauer Got Evil Backwards—Here’s Why Aquinas Was Right
Has everyone noticed that this current administration is the most divisive group I have ever witnessed in my 58 years living in America. Every single word uttered, is a way to pit one group against the other. They have shown no restraint putting their jack boots on the back of anyone’s neck or jailing people that refuse to go along with their tyranny. To go back to this same well, to me, is a sign of complete desperation. United we stand divided we fall. We should all resist this “same play” tactic, and I hope the majority does. Safe travels!!!
They literally can't afford to lose.
