Thank you, David Ross, for inviting me to speak about a man whom everyone here loves and admires. It’s an honor to be on this stage with such illustrious speakers. Princess Maria-Anna, Ambassador Habsburg, Father Abbot, Father Matlak, other distinguished speakers, and guests, I must admit to some feeling of trepidation and intimidation in the…
No one knows how to build another Chartres Cathedral. As time takes its toll on brick and mortar, and vandals and arsonists destroy, the wonders of Christendom slip away. We Catholic lovers of tradition stand by helplessly sounding forth the lament: “Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and bitterness all the precious things…
Opinions on the SSPX and the upcoming consecrations are a dime a dozen and often emotionally charged with little or no element of charity. A common opinion especially among traditional Catholics is that this is a crossroads for the Church. As Dr. Kwasniewski notes, It can either go exceptionally well or be catastrophic for the…
I’ve recently been getting into the concept of “healthy eating.” You might find that hard to believe, considering you can tell I’m obviously struggling to type this out over all the keyboard crumbs, but it’s true—I’ve made the incredible (and, I might add, completely depressing) discovery that how my body feels is directly correlated to…

For nearly 60 years now, multiple generations of Catholics have lived entirely within the experience of the post-Vatican II liturgy—the Novus Ordo Missae, promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1969. One of the pastoral goals of the reform was intelligibility and fluency of the Mass texts. Full disclosure: I love both forms of the Mass,…
