In hindsight, the words of the Popes often have a prophetic ring to them, particularly as regards those who battled modernism in the century or so prior to Vatican II. These excerpts from Notre Charge Apostolique issued by Pope Pius X in 1910, presented here on Rorate Caeli, most certainly qualify. “As soon as the social question is being approached, it is the fashion in some quarters to first put aside the divinity of Jesus Christ, and then to mention only His unlimited clemency, His compassion for all human miseries, and His pressing exhortations to the love of our neighbor and to the brotherhood of men.” That sounds awfully familiar…

LMS Chairman posts a quick read entitled Why they hate us, which makes some very sentient points about the view outsiders have of Christianity and, in particular, how the Latin Mass often goes directly to the heart of the perceptions of non-Christians.

Lastly, in honor of the commencement of the academic year in many parts of the world, we have How to Teach Logic by Martin Cothran at Memoria Press.

Mr. Cothran offers an explanation of the basics of logic and common‑sense suggestions for the organization of presenting this topic.
