I am reading "The Dogma of Hell" by Fr. Schouppe. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I'm reading The Mozarabic and Ambrosian Rites: Four Essays in Comparative Liturgiology by W.C. Bishop. I had to get it on ILL from Duke because, of course, no work of decent liturgical scholarship from the early 20thC is to be had privately without taking out a mortgage.

More an antique Roman than an Anglican.

"The Christians of Carthage have an excellent name for the sacraments, when they say that baptism is nothing else than 'Salvation,' and the sacrament of the Body of Christ nothing else than 'Life.'"

That's awesome. I can't get enough of Mozarabic chant... I'm so glad that there's plenty of it available on youtube. I'm reading God's Battalions: The Case for the Crusades by Rodney Stark. |

I've read Stark's work on the foundations of capitalism in the Middle Ages. Is this book any good? |

"And so, Lord, do you, who do give understanding to faith, give me, so far as you knowest it to be profitable, to understand that you are as we believe; and that you are that which we believe." -- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Wallace - The Hero of Scotland.
This book was printed in 1877. Still in great shape.

It is my solemn and firmly held belief that the Cristeros were an entirely unjustified group of egomaniacal sociopaths and that Mexico would be a far better place today had they simply purchased Xbox360 consoles and lived out their ridiculous fantasies via an imaginary fantasy gaming realm Forget your lust for the rich man's gold/ All that you need, is in your soul/ And you can do this, oh baby, if you try/ All that I want for you my son/ Is to be satisfied All that we are is a picture in a mirror, with fancy shoes to grace our feet. All that there is, is a slow road to freedom; Heaven above and the devil beneath. We're all in this thing together, walking a line between faith and fear, this life won't last forever - when you cry I taste the salt in your tears. |

 It's actually a riveting page turner, I'm loving it so far. Makes me want to go prospect for gold. |

I ground my faith upon Jesus Christ, and by Him I steadfastly believe to be saved, as is taught in the Catholic Church through all Christendom, and promised to remain with Her unto the world's end, and hell gates shall not prevail against it: and by God's assistance I mean to live and die in the same faith; for if an angel come from heaven, and preach any other doctrine than we have received, the Apostle biddeth us not to believe him. Therefore, if I should follow your doctrine, I should disobey the Apostle's commandment.
-St. Margaret Clitherow, while in prison

While reading Wallace I am also reading St. Alphonsus Ligouri's Uniformity with Gods Will
I usually work on two books at the same time. 1 religious, 1 not.
