Rapture!

Posted on Sunday, 28 February, 2016 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I follow on from my previous article on anti-intellectualism. It is obviously not a new problem, nor is it American. There are many fascinating themes in the works of the recently deceased Umberto Eco. The one many of us know … Continue reading →

There are presently quite a few discussions about Anglo-Catholicism. By far, the most interesting articles are from Archbishop Peter Robinson. He has been writing about the north-end position, a subject upon which I touched a few years ago in North … Continue reading →

Intentional Communities

Posted on Friday, 12 February, 2016 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

Further to my article The Old Dream, Perceptio has written Corporate Association and Intentional Communities. It is remarkably astute, and the notion of “intentional community” harks back to the attention I gave to Christian and non-Christian communities. Many are models … Continue reading →

The Old Dream

Posted on Thursday, 11 February, 2016 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I have been captivated by this myself. I am talking about the old theme of integral traditionalism as it is known by some among other names. I have a bookshelf full of René Guénon, Soloviev, Frithjof Schuon, Berdyaev, Mircea Eliade, … Continue reading →

Posted on Wednesday, 13 January, 2016 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I have just been pointed to a couple of articles that merit examination: Pervasive Conformity and Its Influence on Earth Culture and Exit from the Matrix. I mention these ideas without going into the “prepper” culture (people making an unhealthy … Continue reading →

The seeds are planted

Posted on Saturday, 26 December, 2015 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

That might seem an odd title for St Stephen’s Day. My feeling of “dryness” has probably been beneficial. Of course, over the past week, it has been the run-up to Christmas (mostly the preparation of the “secular” part), and many … Continue reading →

A new (but not so new) way forward

Posted on Thursday, 17 December, 2015 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

Chassez le naturel, il revient au galop

Posted on Wednesday, 2 December, 2015 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I have always appreciated the writings of Umberto Eco. He made his name as a writer through the story most of us know, The Name of the Rose. Like Foucault’s Pendulum, it is a story of intrigue and teasing the … Continue reading →

Ars moriendi

Posted on Friday, 27 November, 2015 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

There are some fine autumn thoughts on Rad Trad‘s blog in I’m Going to Die. He reassures us that he hasn’t been diagnosed with cancer or anything like that. However, he is right, whether it is cancer, a heart attack, … Continue reading →

Ye cold advisers of yet colder kings

Posted on Monday, 16 November, 2015 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

It could not have happened at any other time. It is almost as if Shelley had returned to us from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea and the wreckage of his boat. He was only eighteen years old when he … Continue reading →
