We haven’t had access to a decent internet connection in quite some time. Paired with plenty of traveling, Proper Nomenclature hasn’t produced much for us to talk about.

Over the weekend, let’s consider how every statement above is true. So I’ll just drop a few lines to encourage your thought these next few days. I’ll help with the following: Day recommended and identified with distributism as proposed by Chesterton and Belloc.

Surrounded by consumerism, materialism, and individualism, discerning a vocation to the priesthood becomes the anti-‘American’ option for young men. You’ll remember our post, “If You Want Atheism, Destroy Creation, Embrace Capitalism” from last week. It was incredibly popular with our atheist friends and our capitalist friends.
