Girl With Dead Canary - Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725 – 1805) "The diagnostic process not only paves the way for treatment, but also functions as a type of treatment itself. Both behavioral and physical problems can respond to diagnosis properly used as a therapeutic tool."—Brody, H., & Waters, D. B. (1980). Diagnosis is treatment. Journal of Family Practice, 10(3), 445-449. Disease Ideology blinds inquiry to anything but that which conforms to the ideology driving what should be the objective investigation of facts. That universities are more often than not hotbeds of ideology and propaganda, rather than forums for robust debate and rigorous analysis, is missed by many if not most of those working is said institutions. It matters not that the scientific method, which relies on an honest appreciation of the facts and the skill to see relationships that are real, is subject to the demand that everything and everyone should appease the disordered passions of th...

St. Peter Chrysologus, Doctor of Homilies As a relative newcomer to the Ordinariate experience, one of the most satisfying aspects of the journey thus far is the consolation of homilies which expect those present to really listen to that which is being preached. The preacher's utterance proceeds from and participates in a permanent and definitive context: Jesus Christ, "the Father's one, perfect, and unsurpassable Word." Therefore, since "there will be no other word than this one," the task of the preacher is to preach this Word Jesus. —The Catechism on Preaching (Crisis) June 1996, by Peter John Cameron. Adjacent to the Ordinariate, in the wider diocese, we are blessed with a few diocesan priest homilists who know that the manner of the delivery is secondary to the quality of the content. The better homilies tend to come from priests who do not rely on a (highly affected) "preaching voice" to qualify as decent preachers. Sure, there are ...

The Ordinariate experience offers an authentic via media bridging the Ordinary Form and the Extraordinary Form. Divine Worship: the Missal, the Ordinariate Form of the Mass, captures the Second Vatican Council's "stated ideal of the Tridentine Mass reformed – not replaced – 'with new vigour to meet the circumstances and needs of modern times'" ( Sacrosanctum Concilium 4). See also, Dr. Stephen Bullivant's article (CH):  At an Ordinariate Mass, I witnessed the real spirit of Vatican II . The Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo Missæ), which developed in the wake of the Council, is to many informed minds a mutated form of the Mass —some would say mutilated form of the Mass—which goes far beyond the modest adjustments called for by the Council. Sadly, given the pure facts of history since the documents of the Council were promulgated, this blogger must acknowledge certain deviations from the Council's express intent which cannot be justified. For one, the ...

Mountain Stream, © 2018 by Gilbert That to which one gives assent will rule his or her life. If 'that' be a lie, then falsehood will dominate the heart and mind of the person who chooses the path of shadows and contempt for truth. It 'that' be one of the transcendentals, then goodness, truth and beauty will occupy the mind and heart and enable the person to grow in holiness. Point of fact, any one of the transcendentals through which God may choose to pour His grace will blossom with the scent of the others: truth dawns in the soul as goodness and beauty; beauty as goodness; and so forth. The possibility exists that, for the person who chooses evil—contraception, abortion, sexual perversity and so on—and who chooses to ignore its effects, such a person is far too close to hell not to be worried about his eternal destiny. Man's faculty of choice is clouded, twisted by sin. If he is not vigilant, he will surrender himself to sin. Let us turn to the Cat...

It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.— Benjamin Franklin - - - Between the many beautiful oases to be found around the internet there are vast tracts of barren land inhabited by bloodthirsty trolls. The desolation of unredeemed human nature is a resting place for demons. Isaiah 34:14 And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.  (DRA) And wild beasts shall meet with hyenas, the satyr shall cry to his fellow;  yea, there shall the night hag alight, and find for herself a resting place. (RSVCE) The internet is too often a toxic waste dump, rife with members of the grouch-potato club. A blog comes to mind that is a hoard of drifting and condescending rants too often reliant upon gossip and innuendo. It...
