Souls ennobled, elevated and prepared by art, are thus better disposed to receive the religious truths and the grace of Jesus Christ. This is one of the reasons why the Sovereign Pontiffs, and the Church in general, honored and continue to honor art and to offer its works as a tribute of human beings to [...]

Truest Function of the Church
Posted in Pictures on May 7, 2007 | 3 Comments »
It’s a damn shame that liberal “Catholics” use the name, and memory of Bl. John XXIII to justify their heresy, and contempt of Truth. The worst we can say about him was that we was perhaps a little overly optimistic of the state of the world, and the Church in relation to it. He would [...]

Her feasts follow reason, Dated due to season— Candlemas, Lady Day;
But the Lady Month, May,Why fasten that upon her,
With a feasting in her honour? (Continue: Hopkins)
