By Fr. Michael Rennier, Aleteia - But our digital presence can never replace the physical world. So what would St. Irenaeus have said about it? He probably would have pointed out that human experience should encompass all of the above. Our interior lives ought to express themselves in real, physical actions and experiences... His advice would probably be simple. Make the extra effort. Go to the party. Take a walk. Put down the phone and play with the kids. God has given us physical bodies and placed us in a material world. Get out there and enjoy it.

By Kennedy Hall, Crisis Magazine - Trads, as they are colloquially called, are confused. Quite frankly, to say they are merely confused might be the understatement of the century... The trads who attend diocesan Latin Masses are confused because they have done everything “by the book;” they have simply followed the recommendations that Pope Benedict gave in Summorum Pontificum. Yet, the rumors that the Latin Mass will be nuked are only intensifying by the day, and the stalwart Diane Montagna—not one to publish things carelessly—just released a piece adding more credence to the impending Latin Mass Hiroshima.

Dr. R. Jared Staudt, Catholic World Report - Our family members not only remind us, sometimes painfully, of where we come from, but they are also the people who can best help us to get where we need to go... “Dad, I’m sorry I haven’t been in better touch.”... We were sitting on the porch late at night, two blocks from the beach, with the waves and sounds of the boardwalk within earshot... “I know it’s hard to travel with the kids,” he said, looking back at me with compassion and a tinge of sadness at not seeing his grandkids more frequently.

By David Warren, The Catholic Thing - “There are nights when you can’t even give it away,” said the young woman, laying on the drollery... She was of course indulging in fierce satire; being colorful, “rhetorical,” rather than bad. She had no reputation for acting louchely. But thanks to the political correctness pathogen, the language has been spayed... You can, in practice, give “it” away, though you may not, ever, give “it” away, according to the consensus of Western, which is to say Christian, which means Catholic par excellence, thinkers.
