A Revival of Greek Identity?

I can't deny, it makes me emotional seeing the revival of Greek identity in Southern Italy after centuries of forced Latinisation.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of them same Syria and Lebanon in the not very distant future after more than a century of forced Arabisation. pic.twitter.com/flAbjYr06l

A Weak Idea of Political Participation

Just talk and "debagte."

Given this history, it is important for Catholics and other believers to take a leading role — as men and women of faith — in the debates and conversations that are shaping the direction and culture of our country.

Robert George's "Wisdom" on Friendship

2/ Friends love each other despite disagreements and honor each other's right to freedom of thought and speech. Never demand conformity to your own opinions as the price of friendship. Never submit to someone's demand for conformity to his or her opinions as friendship's price.

— Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) June 24, 2021

And so if a friend disagrees about murder being an injustice and even practices it, should one still be friends with that person?

5/ If you are an ideologue, a dogmatist, you will have trouble being friends with people with whom you disagree. If you don't have friends who disagree with you on important moral and political questions, you should ask yourself whether you've become an ideologue, a dogmatist.

— Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) June 24, 2021

Can one be a dogmatist about theft or murder?

8/ Fellow truth-seekers can be friends because they recognize their own fallibility and are willing to be challenged, as well as to challenge. They're eager to learn from each other. Unlike ideologues, they don't allow love of their own opinions to impede pursuit of truth.

— Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) June 24, 2021

A failure to distinguish between practical and speculative truth, even though in general NNLTists still emphasize the distinction between the speculative and practical intellectg. Apparently they don't understand the implications of their own theory. It is not enough to be a "truth-seeker" to have a real friend. Real friendship is based upon shared agreement on goods and the ordering of actions leading to those goods, because they know that such a unity is necessary for living together. Liberal academics don't have to live with their friends, and so they know nothing about what real friendship requires.

Overselling Catholic Liberal Arts Education

CWR: “Our goal is to help our students find their vocation in life”

“Many people have been attracted by the education we offer, and we’ve grown as an institution,” says Christopher Ice, the third president of Ave Maria University. “This previous school year we had 1,100 students; this fall, we expect to have 1,200.”

Our goal is to help our students find their vocation in life. That could be a priest or religious, marriage or the single life, or it could be in a particular secular career. When our graduates leave, we want them to have a clear picture of where they want to go. They’re aided by an active spiritual life on campus, which includes three daily Masses, daily confession, perpetual Eucharistic adoration, praise and worship and rosary nights.

What do they know about vocation for the majority of Catholics other than wage slavery?

Who Hates the American Peoples?

They're not hiding this. When Biden and his security state warn the greatest threat are "domestic extremists" and calling for a new War on Terror, they're making clear that they regard their targets as anyone with an anti-authority or anti-government agenda.

A Straussian Fantasy

And a poor understanding of the Constitution:

The U.S. Constitution’s letter gives nearly all powers of government to the states, and reserves unmentioned ones “to the people.” Surely that includes powers over bathrooms, marriages, who competes with whom in sports, etc. It certainly includes power over elections. Customarily, we have regarded counties and cities purely as legal creatures of the states, enjoying only such autonomy as the states may concede. Though a federal statute granting broad autonomy over such matters to the states’ constituted sub-units and giving enough likeminded people the power to form units that enjoy such autonomy would run against more than a century of court decisions, it finds no barrier in the Constitution’s letter. Congress and the president can do this.

"The oligarchy that annihilated or perverted the American Republic’s institutions rules not simply to secure privileged access to wealth. It is equally, if not principally preoccupied with crushing the way of life of whoever are not its members or clients..." - Angelo Codevilla
