What Happens

When men somewhere on the spectrum or of a special position on the SSH get a hold of Thomism? Wait...

Is it true that the pioneers of the Thomistic revival in the US, especially the big nomes, were just the exceptions?

What if...

Latin proscription and enforcement of clerical celibcy led to a form of clericalism based upon low-T heterosexual males and the infiltration of SSA-affected males, with "celibacy is a gift" rhetoric masking the dominance of these groups within the clerical ranks?

When Men of Low SMV and Nerds Run a Church

Why have Christians capitulated to feminism? Weak leadership is a major reason.

This is a wonderful thing for any author, and certainly for me: a poet reading one’s work and finding in it the inspiration for verse. https://t.co/QGINH7yG6P

This was stellar. I loved how he shared his own story and got super nerdy. Just ordered three of his books.

SSH Goes Mainstream

Vox Day.

Can we better understand monastics or those especially living an eremetical form of life as being sigmas? I suppose the normal hierarchy could be found where there is more of a monastic community. Monasticism then could be understood in such "sociological terms," though those who extol the perfection of living the evangelical vows would not be satisfied. But it would allow a place for continued development of our understanding of the "lay" Christian vocation.

Monastics leave the world because they reject its unwholesome spirit. But in leaving the world, they don’t abandon the human person. https://t.co/YaViC2mKlM

Meanwhile, in the AmChurch...

After a period of political gloom, I spent a few days with these outstanding young men: serious, curious, based, totally in love with the Lord and with Saint Josemaria.

Now I’m perfectly refreshed. pic.twitter.com/H50nmb8TFQ

Though our students were unable to travel to D.C. this year for the @March_for_Life, our @UDCFL joined the march in spirit. Last Saturday, over 75 of our groundhogs prayed together outside of an abortion clinic. We are so proud of our students and stand united in prayer today!💙 pic.twitter.com/8VpPUZtXIw

Guess the SSH Status of the Writer of the Letter

Don't be that guy. Build up your tribe. At Dreher's blog, like attracts like, and he holds up those like him to be "reasonable" just like him. Confirmation bias and all that.

"'I feel alone, like I am no longer part of this country that I loved, that I still serve, and that I want the best for. But I feel like this is the most real place I can be. I believe like this is what it actually feels like to be a follower of Christ.'" https://t.co/q7siHQ1s4G

My wife told me tonight that she finally got around to watching a few episodes of @NatConTalk.

Yael: At first it made me really tense.

Me: Why? Because you were afraid I’d say something really stupid?

Yael: Yeah... But I’m okay now. They’re very good.

Blue-Pill Roman Catholicism

This is why Latins lose the culture war, because they can't get the authority of the husband right. Both Matt Fradd and Scott Hahn would probably be safely described as beta.



Comments follow:

A Contrast with Carrie Lam

in ideals and governance only. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文 still has the appearance and demeanor of an older Chinese (or in this case Taiwanese) woman, like Carrie Lam. It appears that those who backed Taiwan independence were right all along, though it is not obvious that they will be able to defend themselves from China. A nuclear attack sub or two, or some missiles with warheads would be useful, but receiving any from the US may be judged to be too provocative and leading to instant war. An announcement after the fact on the other hand...

She is the first unmarried president of Taiwan. Understandable?











The singing at the beginning of the second part of the ceremony reminded me of the PLA and patriotic music that is sung over on the Mainland. Two different sort of "modern" Chinese cultures, heavily influenced by the West. Very little recovery of anything "traditional" in the pomp surrounding the two governments, except maybe the authoritarian mindset.

Where Are Autists on the SSH?

Would an autist like Robespierre gain such an acceptance and respect in a well-ordered tribe? I think they would have to occupy a different place, for the good of the group, especially if they are not immune from narcissism or the desire to be AMOG. I always thought something was off with Robespierre in the descriptions I read of him, even if no one diagnosed him as autistic.

Dreher injects too much of himself (again) into the discussion...
