Brimstone, Millstones, and Stonings

Brimstone, Millstones, and Stonings

Admittedly, I paid little attention to the Covington Catholic story that broke over the weekend, judging it yet another instance of #FakeNews directed against young, white, Christian men that would be swept under the rug with the next news cycle. I was wrong. The story is becoming a watershed moment…

Who’s Frank Pentangeli?

Who’s Frank Pentangeli?

Perusing this humanist blogger's semi-apt comparisons of various dissident Right figures to characters from the Godfather saga, one comes across this howler: Also, because of excessive pride, Fuentes is too often and too easily dismissive of views and ideas that doesn’t jibe with his paradigm, and this is especially true when…

Boomer Solipsism Still Ruining the Church

Boomer Solipsism Still Ruining the Church

To no one's surprise, a generation of narcissists is surprised that distorting the faith in their image is making the youth flee in droves. H/t Rawle Nyanzi You didn’t misread that, I didn’t say irrelevant, I said RELEVANT. We’ve taken a historic, 2,000 year old faith, dressed it in plaid…

To Whom Shall We Go?

An important reminder that conversion is a grace, and God calls whomever He wills. No, not to anime fandom. To the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ and welcome to Not John Daker. May the Lord draw you into ever closer communion with Him…

Love of Theory…

...is the root of all evil, as the otherwise quite astute Z Man demonstrates as he fails to see the epistemological corner his penchant for biological determinism paints him into. Part of what drives the persistence of bad ideas is they seem to address a need among modern people to…

What Principle?

What Principle?

Breitbart reports on a recent poll that asked if employers should make room for Muslim employees to pray at work, then asked the same question about Christians. The results were broken down along Liberal and Conservative lines. It should come as no surprise that more Liberals favored giving Muslims prayer…

To Purify the Church Restore Masculinity

To Purify the Church Restore Masculinity

That's the New York Times' housebroken Catholic Conservative Ross Douthat gratuitously groveling before the coven of witches seeking to further feminize the Church. You can spot his knee-jerk effort to preemptively mollify his paymasters by its incoherence. Note to Ross: Nuns and abbesses are laywomen, in that they're not ordained clergy. The prominent…

Benedictine CoC

Benedictine CoC

From Antisocial Justice on Twitter: The SJW mob successfully pressured SQLite into adopting a code of conduct, but it turns out that victory has defeated them. You read that right. SQLite's new CoC is based on the Rule of St. Benedict--the rule of religious life that ushered in the golden…

Liberalism in Slow Motion

Liberalism in Slow Motion

Catholic blogger Peter Kwasniewski observes that Conservatism is Liberalism, only slower. A conservative is one who wishes to conserve the good at hand, which means maintaining the status quo while correcting notorious deviations. But the conservative has no principled motivation to return to and recover what has been lost, for…
