Leave a Comment / History, Spiritual formation / By admin

St. John Joseph of the Cross Today I would like to call your attention to a rather unknown Christian saint: John Joseph of the Cross (1654-1739). He was known for the force, fervor, and clearness, with which he expounded the dogmas of the Trinity and Incarnation, and even of predestination and grace. He also the …

Why does the Catholic Church believe in Genesis?

Leave a Comment / History, Theology / By admin

In this tradition, I was invited by the Christopher Dawson Centre for Cultural Studies (Patronage of Archdiocese of Hobart) to speak on Genesis, fact or fiction? On the findings of the Pontifical Bible Commission (1909). Consider the …

Wist u dat reformatorische christenen gebroken hebben met een eeuwenoude kerkelijke traditie omdat een anti-protestantse paus dat gebood?

In a Posthumous book, which was only to be released after his death, Pope Benedict has launched a vehement attack on the state of the Roman Catholic Church, especially in the West.

Western interventionism is a force for evil

Leave a Comment / Cultural heritage, History / By admin

From Russia 1917, to Iraq, Afghanistan and purposefully creating the Ukraine situation as we know it. Western interventionism. Peter Hitchens summarized it wonderfully, last month in the debating room of the students of the Cambridge Union. Some good news, the statement of this House that “Believes Western Interventionism Has Been a Force For Good” was …

Cardinal Pell’s Final Message: Francis led Church into toxic Nightmare

1 Comment / ethics, Politics / By admin

Last week Cardinal Pell died. Suddenly. It is extremely rare to die from a heart attack following routine surgery. Especially if there were no health concerns whatsoever and this happens in a hospital after surgery with capable personnel and equipment at hand. Unless the cardinal was “fully vaccinated and boosted” his death should be treated …

Jeroen Bosch heeft daarover een indringend schilderij gemaakt. We denken over de eindigheid van het leven vanuit het evangelie naar Mattheüs, hoofdstuk 25. Daarin geeft de Heere Jezus op beeldende …
