Quick update

Most of our energy is currently taken by two big projects under way on our sister blogs. Pop over to check on our progress:

The Life of Christ Our Lord will incorporate J-J Tissot's incredible art-work to illustrate the Gospel accounts.

Detailed notes make extensive use of the Great Commentary by Cornelius A Lapide. Maps, diagrams and other notes are also included.

Here is the home-page of the site.

New posts are published daily on the blog.

A second, older site was developed as a showcase for a remarkable Rosary dating back to pre-Reformation, Catholic England, celebrated throughout Christendom as Mary's Dowry. Apart from the superb  verse and art-work, materials are posted to the blog on a daily basis.

Here is a link to the home-page where you can access the blog.










Finally, here are some screen-shots of books I have read in recent weeks. I recommend all of them but I don't currently have time to write reviews.

First published in 2011, this has been a massive best-seller in Russia. I have now read it twice, including some of the stories to my family. Highly recommended for its powerful insights and its humour. The stories are narrated in a highly engaging manner.

First published in 2019, this book approaches history free from the usual constraints that seek to censor certain lines of enquiry.

Living Machines & Desperate Moderns. E Michael Jones reveals the impact on art and living of those big names who decided to shape truth to their desires instead of subordinating their desires to the truth.

I started reading this in an attempt to discover if Campion could conceivably have been the real author of ''Shakespeare''.  It turned out to be a superbly written, concise life of the scholar, missionary and martyr; impossible to put down.

Waugh's grandson turns out to be a world-authority on the ''Shakespeare Authorship Question,'' his preferred candidate being the 17th Earl of Oxford. He has a delightful style with both the written and the spoken word. You can discover the latter on the De Vere Society website, where he has uploaded a wealth of video- and pod-casts displaying a bewildering mastery of detail and a finely tuned sense of humour.
