I was originally planning to release the Oath Against Modernism today, but it ran quite long as I decided to do both English and Latin so I'm going to share that with you all tomorrow.

INTERVIEW: Trevor Culley on Zoroastrianism (introduction) 08.08.2023

Near the end of this episode I did the thing. I said 12,000 when I meant 1,200. Zoroastrianism is old but not that old. I'll try to remember to include this correction for my Feast of Saint Augustine roundup of corrections. Anyways, here's a link to Trevor's site.

Element 7: Paraclaity 03.08.2023

Not a "what"-- a "Who".   The Elements: Creation Continuity Exile Service Relationship Romanitas Paraclaity   IMAGE: Wikimedia doesn't have Dore cited properly, so while I provide their citation as my go-to I should also note that this certainly appears to be from Gustave Doré's 1886 English Bible woodcuts that I mine extensively for cover art. Some confirmation of that is in the attribution here:...

Element 4: Service 28.07.2023

Martha and Mary: Basically a Gospel-based personality test. *** NOTE: Podbean is having a time, so it is possible you will see this episode on your feed before Element 3: Exile. My apologies if that happens, fortunately the Elements are numbered for your convenience. Believe it or not, the numbering will have some relevance in the future when we tie things together.

Element 3: Exile 28.07.2023

NOTE: This is actually the fourth time I've tried to get this episode to go out beyond podbean. Which is why it's coming so late, and why you might have seen previous iterations if you use Podbean. *** Back to the Elements of Cardinalness with a less-cheery focus on the sense of separation ccentreal to the electoral role of the Cardinals.
