ex cathedra: Hard times on Abbey Road

Hard times on Abbey Road

Looks like monks are having a hard time these days. Numbers are mostly way down and the old boys are, well, pretty old.

And apparently an unsavory character or two has been known to slip into the choirstalls. One monastery is taking no chances. Check out the items I've blocked. It's both kinda pathetic and kinda funny.

*Just in case you can't read the image:

12 letters of recommendation
Police background check
Credit report check
Sexual misconduct check
2 psychiatric evaluations

Jesus himself couldn't get into that abbey!

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
