Does Truth Exist?

The Obedience of Two Saints

On October 17, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI elevated to the altars the first Australian saint, Mary MacKillop. The heroic virtue of Mother Mary will be strongly defended here, and placed side by side with that of one whose canonization all Traditional Catholics await: Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

An Interview with Fr. Christopher Pieroni, FSSPX

There are always priests searching for Tradition and the Mass. As an example, Fr. Christopher Pieroni, FSSPX, recently joined the Society of St. Pius X. 
Fr. Markus Heggenberger sat down with him to discuss his journey to Tradition.

The Battle for Purity

Who even speaks of purity any more? And yet, it is perhaps the virtue most under siege in today’s corrupted world. It needs to be addressed—not harped on ad nauseam like some kind of unhealthy obsession, but spoken of nonetheless, because many Catholics, young people as well as adults, would do well to re-­examine their ideas on the subject.

Neither Hot nor Cold...Lukewarm

“Because thou art lukewarm, neither hot, nor cold, I shall vomit thee out of My mouth.”

Spiritual Life Within Marriage

Any more than the priesthood, marriage cannot escape the definitive intrusion of God into two souls.

The Last Battle of Garrigou-Lagrange

The purpose of this present article is to present a text, or rather a series of texts, of Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange that treat precisely of this idea that one can, or even one must, “reclothe” the truths of the faith with a language that is acceptable to modern man

Brideshead Revisited: A Commentary—Part 6

This part is going to focus on the whole question of art and architecture within the novel. The title of the book is about a very large family estate and particularly that castle, Brideshead. And our hero’s vocation is that of an artist.
