DeClue's Views

@PhilCatholic The merit text was one of the ones I had in mind when I made that comment, so it’s fair. I was basically thinking, “I haven’t even read the merit one yet; slow down!” lol

@DeclueViews Whoops! I misunderstood what you were referring to. I thought you were talking about the merit text! This thing is from way back in my archives. I’m just letting it burp up to the surface.

I am no New Natural Lawyer, yet I wish more Thomists also took seriously this long forgotten debate: athomist.com/articles/reaso…

@CatholicPods I saw this in theater when it came out! I tried to find it twice recently, but haven’t been able to find anyone who carries it.

We finally discussed Into Great Silence! Catholic documentary filmmaker Manny Marquez joins the podcast to discuss this contemplative immersion into the Grande Chartreuse monastery, as well as documentary as an art more generally.

@ron_selgrath @WordOnFire Do you expect the Holy Spirit to contradict himself?

@DeclueViews @WordOnFire I’m not a theologian. I’ll wait and see where the Holy Spirit moves things.

What is the German Synodal Way? Why is it controversial? @DeclueViews reflects on one German bishop’s objections here: on.wof.org/46vURrz

@ron_selgrath @WordOnFire In Germany, there are plenty of people supporting it. I’m providing the minority report that I agree with. I’m not a journalist. I’m a theologian. It is a newsworthy story, though.

@WordOnFire @DeclueViews It would help if you produced a non-polemic, balanced show on what is before having a person opposed to it define it. Just good journalism.

Just released: The Summa Illuminated. An introduction to the Summa theologiae—written for students and non-experts.

Why is usury a mortal sin? Inspired by a recent address delivered by Pope Leo, @DeclueViews explains here: on.wof.org/457x5Bs

The Spanish translation of Eucharistic Ecclesiology by Richard DeClue (@DeclueViews) is now available! ect.org/es/article/ecl…

A heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters who helped us reach 1,000 followers! These recent messages are encouraging as we continue to grow. 1,000 followers is nice but we think the project merits 10,000 or 100,000. Could you repost to help us continue to grow?

It was a pleasure to converse with my old colleagues and friends on their Spe Salvi Institute podcast. Check out their other content as well! Great stuff!

I’m honored and humbled. The Catholic Media Association does a beautiful job with these plaques.

I am very pleased and honored to see this work published in the ECT.

I encourage you to subscribe and to watch the whole 40 min conversation to get the full context. 😁

It was a privilege and joy to be a part of this project. Highly recommend!

“Jesus loves his blessed Mother Mary deeply. In union with his Sacred Heart, we, too, must love her deeply.” @DeclueViews joins @AveAfternoon for a live discussion about the biblical and patristic foundations of Marian doctrine at 4:30 p.m. EST: avemariaradio.net/program/ave-ma….

@MrsCMFrancis @Maria_my_name @AdrianneCurry John 20:23; Matt. 16:19; 18:18.

@Maria_my_name @AdrianneCurry I absolutely disagree, there are no “special powers” granted to anyone. But I’m not gonna argue in her mentions. Have a blessed evening

I have avoided going to confession. I haven't been since I was very young. I just don't know if the priest has that much time....or if the church will burst into flame

@FeserEdward @FeserEdward I also just happen to be in the middle of your “Aquinas” book. It made it on my Spring Break list.

@FeserEdward Msgr. Wippel’s two semester metaphysics course was one of my favorite classes. I blame a loss of metaphysics for many ills.

Wippel’s and Stump’s massive, magisterial books from the early 2000s, which contributed mightily to the revival of interest that Aquinas’s thought has enjoyed in the last quarter century

“Since the Trinity is the origin and end of everything, it’s the key to metaphysics.” Delve into the theology of Pope Benedict XVI alongside @DeclueViews in Volume 164 of the Mars Hill Audio Journal: mha-members.org/journals/mars-…
