Veritas et Sapientia – All Saints Day Belongs To The Humble

Mandeville, LA - "In Paradise there are many Saints who never gave alms on earth: their poverty justified them.

There are many Saints too who were not virgins: their vocation was otherwise. But in Paradise there is no Saint who was not humble. God banished angels from heaven for their pride; […]

Veritas et Sapientia-Halloween & Luther’s Revolt: All Tricks And No Treats

Mandeville, LA - "A real change however came with the Protestant revolt. Although, at this — one might almost say — sociological level, the alteration was not that great in Anglican or Lutheran regions (where rejection of the Catholic Liturgical heritage was similarly ambiguous), it tended to be in Calvinist areas. There, there was little question: whether in worship or calendar customs or folk beliefs, if it was not explicitly […]

Veritas et Sapientia – You Can’t Solve “Christianity’s Problems” Because There’s No Such Thing

Mandeville, LA - "To many who have no sympathy with Catholicism, who inherit the old Protestant animosity to the Church (although doctrinal Protestantism is now dead) and who think that any attack on the Church must somehow or other be a good thing, the struggle already appears as a coming or present attack on what they call "Christianity." You will find people saying on every side that the Bolshevist movement […]

Veritas et Sapientia – “These Are Not The Virtuous Men You’re Looking For”

Mandeville, LA - The Catholic religion’s stance on chastity is a very conservative one. Church doctrine was, and still is, very stern when it comes to sex. Sex is strictly reserved for marriage and any expression of sexuality outside of it is seen as a sin. During the Renaissance as well as today, this is not the case. Many individual cases of sexual promiscuity happened during those times and happen today […]

Veritas et Sapientia-The Patriotism Of Loving Your Native Land

Mandeville, LA - [The following was written by Sir Walter Scott.] Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d, As home his footsteps he hath turn’d From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, […]

Veritas et Sapientia-God To Moderns: My Commandments Are Too Rigorous, Sin All You Like!

Mandeville, LA - The standard narrative of Catholic moral progressivism is that Church moral doctrine doesn’t change; it just becomes completely irrelevant. God is asking you to do the opposite of what God’s law tells you that you should do. Since this has been going on for generations, from times well before the dreaded Vatican II, conservatives and traditionalists frequently defend this approach as a fine established tradition while simultaneously screeching […]
