- Balancing the general and the particular in religious art.
- Russian revival.
- Polish Church vs secularism.
- On coming to Sunday Vespers. The core of the Office is the psalms. Core, not bore: no one should be bored by the psalms, even though we do sing the same ones almost every Sunday, and no one need be bored if he recites them attentively and with some mental effort. The Psalter was the hymnal of the ancient Jewish Temple, and each psalm is as truly a hymn as those in the hymnals we have in our pews; but naturally the meaning is not as obvious as it is in our modern hymns, mostly because they belong to the Old Testament rather than the New. Thus they are, in a sense, less than Christian: and just as by adding the Gloria patri we put the stamp of the gospel on each psalm, so every verse of the psalter must be read with the same qualification.
- Aquinas and Hooker.
- Bishop Barnes has an autism-spectrum story from Britain: We need to demolish some of the follies of politically correct medical & social services which, with the best intentions, destroy families and undermine individuals.
- T1:9: young graduates making their own jobs.
Catholic integralism is the true seamless garment.
Don't apologize for things you didn't do, to people who don't believe in forgiveness or redemption.
