The Impressive Venerable Bede

by

I love English Catholicism.  The writings of Aelred of Rievaulx have always been spiritually comforting.  However, English Catholicism predates him by centuries.  I had read some of the commentaries of Venerable Bede before but reading his Ecclesiastical History of the English People was a true delight.

Book Review: Reclaiming Faith: Inclusion, Grace, and Tolerance by Michael Coren

by

Let’s just get this over with shall we?  Michael Coren’s new book is out.  It’s titled Reclaiming Faith: Inclusion, Grace, and Tolerance.  It’s not really a book in the same fashion as his last book, Epiphany.  It’s a collection of his articles from 2015 to 2019.  Basically from shortly after his apostasy to the present.

Is Liberal Religion Attractive?

by

Fake Deacon Michael Coren

I’m currently finishing up Michael Coren’s new book which is entitled Reclaiming Faith: Inclusion, Grace, and Tolerance.  Of course, it’s incorrectly titled because he doesn’t show any tolerance for people who hold the traditional position on marriage.  I’m about 80% done the book.  Expect a review here and based on what I’ve read so far, expect it to be just as bad as his last book.  I’ll admit that I enjoyed shredding that book.

New Developments in the Orthodox Civil War

by

As many people know, last year I wrote about the civil war in the Orthodox Church between Moscow and Constantinople.  This whole argument is whether or not the Ukrainian Church will be autonomous or will be subject to Moscow.  The Primate of the new Ukrainian Church is Epiphanius, while the head of the Ukrainian Church in communion with Moscow is Metropolitan Onufriy.

Finally Some Good News

by

There have been three pieces of good news recently and I couldn’t be happier.  The first one is when Dave Reilly(the man above) challenged American conservative Charlie Kirk on his endorsement and promotion of sodomy.  Turning Point USA is a conservative organization.  We religious people tend to think that conservatives are on our side or at least more favorable.  Dave Reilly shows that at least some of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  As Catholics it would be wrong to give any money to Turning Point USA.

Musings on Catholic England

by

Bede the Venerable

I’ve been having quite good conversations online with English Catholics recently, both convert and cradle.  I know that English Catholics are required to do the fast every Friday of the year with no exceptions.  In Canada we’re allowed to substitute a penance while in America you only have to fast on Fridays during lent.  A priest told me that England is pretty unique in this regard as not many countries actually require the strict fast anymore.

Should Catholics Attend SSPX Chapels?

by

My local Byzantine Catholic Church

I try to avoid getting into traditionalist issues on this blog because they normally involve a lot of drama.  Should faithful Catholics attend SSPX chapels?  I will admit that I’ve been to the local SSPX chapel, though I can count the number of times on one hand.  I remember one time it was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and my Church wasn’t having a mass and I really wanted to go so I went to the SSPX chapel.  I’ve also gone to masses offered by the Resistance which is a breakaway group from the SSPX because they thought they were too liberal.  I haven’t been to either in years.  I’ve never gone to a sedevacantist mass and I never will.
