The Anglo-Catholic Society of the Holy Cross (SSC) was founded on February 28, 1855, and to celebrate the anniversary I drove to St. Andrew's, Grand Prairie for Mass, lunch and an excellent talk by a faithful priest.
"Cult, sacred order," he advised, "transliterates into culture." Well said, and the "culture war," in his opinion, is a misnomer. More a matter of those without the sacral and therefore without culture fighting against those who do.
Better then, thought our speaker, to say we're in a war of anti or no culture versus its opposite. Good call, and it speaks to the nihilist, destructive aspect of our secular orthodoxy.
But I won't preach. It was good to meet with faithful priests and bishops today. A breath of fresh air and Blue enjoyed it too, though he became confused and worried by the unfamiliar expanse of St. Andrew's church garden. So he went back to the truck, where he slept soundly.
In the meanwhile, war drums beat louder.
God Bless You All,

Your friend is not only faithful, but very wise, also. He sees behind the curtain with clarity.
Brother Paul Thorn has a word for us about what passes for culture these days:

How old is Blue?
Glad you had a good day out!
It made for really good break, NFO, though the metrosprawl seems increasingly strange to me. Blue had fun too.
I think he must be around 12 or 13, DOS, but I'm not sure (rescue dog who turned up on the porch...).
That's a very good message, Wild!
He was very good, drjim.
