Florilegium Sancti Ludovici Mariae

by Brother André Marie May 4, 2010

In medieval Latin, a florilegium (literally, a “gathering of flowers”) is a systematic collection of writings from larger works. Its literal Greek equivalent gives us the word anthology. In the Ages of Faith, works of the Church Fathers and other authors were compiled into florilegia for the purposes of study, meditation, and the like. What follows is a brief gathering of Marian flowers from the … More →

Miracle on 115th Street

by Gary Potter April 1, 2009

The Church in the United States has always been predominately Irish as an institution. Even today, with Hispanics obviously bound to become the Catholic majority in the near future, she remains essentially Irish-American in character and spirit.

Eleven Saints in One Family

by Brian Kelly March 16, 2009

One of the eleven was officially canonized, the patron saint of this order, Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. The other ten were brothers and sisters of his who died after baptism in infancy. Perhaps it was their faithful endurance of this heavy cross that merited for Jean Baptiste Grignion and his wife, Jeanne Robert, to have such a son as Louis Marie. Link here … More →

Consideration

by Sister Marie Thérèse, M.I.C.M. October 24, 2008

“Consideration is the heart of charity.” This can be applied to how we treat our fellow man and also how we treat the Mysteries that God has revealed to us. Another name for consideration in this case is meditation.

Holy Mary – the Flower of Carmel

by Mark Alessio February 21, 2006

Reply to a Liberal: Conclusion

by Raymond Karam February 7, 2006

Modern liberalism, which makes membership in the Catholic Church unnecessary for salvation, undermines something more than the dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. In postulating the existence of an Invisible Church, or in suggesting that membership in the Visible Church can be invisible and purely internal, liberals are actually, whether they realize it or not, endangering the doctrine of the Incarnation.

Reply to a Liberal Part I: Answer to Five Minor Points

by Raymond Karam February 7, 2006

I It seems to be a habit of liberal theologians to give more weight to the opinions of theologians of their own type than to the infallible definitions of the Church. Some of them never quote the Scriptures and the Councils; others do, usually by way of pious preamble.

Reply to a Liberal – Introduction

by Raymond Karam February 7, 2006

We have been asked many times to explain what we mean by the term “liberal Catholic.” Articles in each issue of From the Housetops have referred to these “liberals,” accusing them of religious indifferentism, or lack of concern for the Faith, of absence of loyalty to the Church, to the Pope, to the officially appointed teachers of Catholic doctrine, and, at times, of open heresy.

The Stone Which the Builders Reject — The Dogma of Faith

by Br. Francis Maluf, M.I.C.M. April 25, 2005

The mission of the Catholic Church is a clear and simple one: to exhaust Herself for the salvation of souls. “Go ye therefore into all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
