@shagbark_hick I converted because I love ritual, as well as the monastic and scholastic traditions, and it's one of the only spaces in modern society where you can say men and women are real, distinct things.

Five years ago I was telling people: "There are going to be mass conversions to Catholicism in the next several decades," and people said I was out of my mind. Now we have many dioceses that have more than doubled the number of converts they received last year. Some are up as high as 150% year-over-year. The pattern is consistent and it is global: people are coming back to the Catholic Church in stunningly high numbers. Why? Because every other structure for making sense of the world has FAILED in the West. Mainline Protestantism went liberal and entered a death spiral. Evangelical Protestantism is fractionalized into thousands of incoherent and conflicting denominations. Modern secular liberalism has offered an utterly barren materialist philosophy of life and its purpose, has worked to de-sacralize life and promote nihilism -- and has ultimately been the handmaiden of neoliberal capitalism and the confusing miasma of a "post-truth" world. Eastern Orthodoxy remains disunified, doctrinally confused, and unable to convene an ecumenical council for the last 1200 years. New Age and Eastern faiths remain obscure and vague. What remains? The Catholic Church remains. It's the only institution still in existence that has retained a coherent moral theology, a sound and well-reasoned doctrine, and a definite claim to Apostolic authority. It's teachings are consistent and clearly congruent with a functional Church that really does "make disciples of all nations." Its sacramental theology honors the actual teachings of Christ. But most of all: the Catholic Church is not "making it up as it goes along." Expect more of this. We are just getting started with a revival that is going to completely alter the course of the twenty-first century.

Over 100k people are becoming Roman Catholic tonight in America. The number across the world is estimated at over one million. Adults become Catholic after 1 year of serious study often go on to be learned and devout. God’s Army is Growing. Long live the Catholic Church!

@InterstellarUAP The guy had entities in his room that did harsh things to him and his wife - I think that would be sufficient.

🚨 Jim Semivan of CIA "The UFO truth is INDIGESTIBLE... too TERRIBLE to tell humanity". 👽🛸 Jim Semivan's comments ring louder than ever after Congressman Rep. Tim Burchett said yesterday "The things I have seen would keep you up at night" What could be SO horrifying? Could it be the INTENT of UFO's & Aliens which is indigestible?

I asked Matt Gaetz What Is the Most Disturbing Alien Finding He Learned In Congress: Alien 'Breeding Programs' and 'Non-Human Biologics' "I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that." "In crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA... it wasn't just the hard materials, it was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics."

@jeffreytucker I also think Sir Roger Scruton deserves mention here, even if none of his books stand like monolith comparable to Sein Und Zeit or Etre et Neant. The one-two punch of Soul of the World and The Face of God was epic!

@jeffreytucker @dr_mcgilchrist just dropped the two volume epic The Matter With Things, might be worth checking out. He has a somewhat avuncular affect to him, not exactly "electrifying" , but if you want substance, he has it.

@jennfrey It was obvious this was going to happen from Day 1, but school corporations, as usual, were fixated on signaling how sophisticated and advanced they are. Education needs to go back to the days of kids reading whole books and writing with pen/paper.

@nguyenhdi in any case, I'm empathetic to anyone who would say that modern life is so tedious that only a saint could really really find anything edifying in the miracle of a cuttlefish

@nguyenhdi Everyone knows those things don't exist objectively, and it would be asinine to complain about it - so to complain aobut it, must be a figurative move. I think you're basically saying the same thing

🚨New discovery suggests 3I Atlas surrounded by nuclear probes! Did NASA spot one on Mars? Remember 3I Atlas, the Final Chapter? Check out 3I Atlas, a New Beginning! A new discovery suggests that 3I Atlas may be surrounded by a cloud of nuclear powered probes! One of them may have appeared in the skies of Mars! #3iatlas #alien #uap Source: youtube.com/watch?v=grsOBX…

@kalezelden @JamesWHankins1 If you want to see someone who bridges analytic and continental, AND talks about UFOs, check out James Madden, if you haven't already. His book Thinking about Thinking is really excellent.

@JamesWHankins1 In regards to physics, Eric Weinstein has been banging the gong that the entire professional discipline is captured, on purpose. I've long thought the same about philosophy, especially the decided turn to strict analytic schools. It decided, as a discipline, to neuter wisdom.

McGilchrist is not just a scientific mind in the modern sense of 'scientific.' Esp. in The Matter with Things, I believe he emerges as one of the great philosophical minds of our time, on the level of someone like John Locke. If academic philosophy departments had the guts to challenge their own tribal orthodoxies, there would be conferences and courses on his work in every philosophy dept in the Anglosphere. @firstthingsmag

Exciting indeed.
