Three Dogs North

Hey all. Thanks for sticking with us during the break. We’re back, and Fr. Rob and Fr. Mike are priests now. We talk about the joys of being ordained, and then cover some hard stuff regarding the recent scandals. Contact us at threedogsnorth@gmail.com.

“Art has a right and a duty, for the sake of realism, to reproduce the human body, and the love of man and woman, as they are in reality, to speak the whole truth about them. The human body is an authentic part of the truth about man, just as its sensual and sexual aspects are an authentic part of the truth about human love. But it would be wrong to let this part obscure the whole – and this is wh...

“The discipline of temperance, understood as selfless self-preservation, is the saving and defending realization of the inner order of man. For temperance not only preserves, it also defends: indeed, it preserves by defending. For since the first sin man has been not only capable of loving himself more than he loves God his Creator but, contrary to his own nature, inclined to do so. The discipline...

“True, the Sacrifice of the Logos is accepted already and forever. But we must still pray for it to become our  sacrifice, that we ourselves, as we said, may be transformed into the Logos, conformed to the Logos, and so be made the true Body of Christ.” -Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger,  The Spirit of the Liturgy Drink Guadalupe Roastery Coffee, because it’s good to drink and good to do.

“Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique i...

“In the beginning I dwelt in the Paradise of God, where Man was naked.  Or rather, I was in Man, and of his Essence when he was naked, walking with him in that spacious Paradise, fearing nothing, doubting nothing, thinking no Evil.  I thought to have stayed with him forever, for he had been created by the Most High…for possessing Nothing, he belonged wholly to God”   – The Lady Poverty: a XIII cen...

The local historical society was kind enough to ask me to play a live show, which I did on December 16th, 2017. People actually came, and it was a pretty good time. I thought it was worth sharing. Here is audio from that night. And the set list: Widower’s Heart – Trampled by Turtles Springfield – Sufjan Stevens Karma Police – Radiohead One Great City! – The Weakerthans She is a mother – Original S...

“These subjects were reasoning. They were working quite hard at reasoning. But it was not reasoning in search of truth; it was reasoning in support of their emotional reactions. It was reasoning as described by the philosopher David Hume, who wrote in 1739 that ‘reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”   -Jon...

“Like the choice between competing political institutions, that between competing paradigms proves to be a choice between incompatible modes of community life. Because it has that character, the choice is not and cannot be determined merely by the evaluative procedures characteristic of normal science, for these depend in part upon a particular paradigm, and that paradigm is at issue. When paradig...

  “Hey, Linc If Scylla really is in there, there’s gonna be security. I need you focused. Yeah. Hey. Hey. All clear upstairs. You find something? Picture of my mom. Someone must have known I was coming. Someone who’s connected enough to be working with Carruth and who knows you well enough to get their hands on that picture. There’s only one person I can think of that fits that description. You’re...

“You have to correct. To redirect. To point out shortcomings. If your teenage son can’t think of anything to do for fun other than playing video games, then you need to turn off the devices and get him into the real world. You need to educate his desire. You have to teach your child your values rather than allowing him or her to adopt by default the values promoted by contemporary American culture...

“But what, in conclusion, of Joy?…It was valuable only as a pointer to something other and outer. While that other was in doubt, the pointer naturally loomed large in my thoughts. When we are lost in the woods the sight of a signpost is a great matter. But when we have found the road and are passing signposts every few miles, we shall not stop and stare. They will encourage us and we shall be grat...

“We are proprietorial (yet also apprehensive) about time, thus we think and speak of ‘my time’. We speak glibly of time, as if it were just another throw-away item of our consumer society…Like our talents and our material goods, time is meant to be shared. Time in solitude and time with others – both are sacred because of God’s companionship.” -Robin Daniels,  The Virgin Eye The Hobbit (now a majo...

“If our religion is something objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it which seem puzzling or repellent; for it will be precisely the puzzling or repellent which conceals what we do not yet know and need to know.” -C.S. Lewis,  The Weight of Glory Look alive. Speak with authority. Read books. And don’t use Google. At least not, like, 70% of the time. Contact us at thr...

“In the midst of tears, she sheds no tears herself. The crowds marvel at her recklessness in throwing away her life untasted, as if she had already lived life to the full. All are amazed that one not yet of legal age can give her testimony to God. So she succeeds in convincing others of her testimony about God, though her testimony in human affairs could not yet be accepted. What is beyond the pow...

“He told me, that all consists in one hearty renunciation of everything which we are sensible does not lead to GOD; that we might accustom ourselves to a continual conversation with Him, with freedom and in simplicity. That we need only to recognize GOD intimately present with us, to address ourselves to Him every moment, that we may beg His assistance for knowing His will in things doubtful, and...
