This red disc is my favorite thing in St. Peter's basilica. It's right through the door. You can't help but step on it.
It's made of porphory, a hard-to-mine-and-transport stone which was in the Roman empire reserved for imperial and regal palaces. Emperors have been crowned on that stone.
But when you go in, you step on it, just like this lady did. And that's meant to remind us that in baptism, we share in the royalty of Jesus Christ. Through him, we're called and configured to be kings and queens.
It's written right there in the floor.

Sonnet 116. Patrick's favourite. Take one minute out of your day to hear the bard's words spoken by someone who lived by them.
It isn't his most important credit, but he made the best reading of The Last Battle by CS Lewis.
Patrick Stewart, who will be remembered most for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, has died at 86.

In my 20s I thought I wanted to live in the top right corner, but my 30s have revealed me to be entirely too normal, if slightly liturgical.

Indeed, Thomists must be made to read an additional book.
And yet, all non-thomists must still be made to read the Summa.

The fact that no one is willing to participate in a firing squad is as good a reason to abolish the death penalty as any.

It's not the point, but the naming of that award makes it sound like Hollywood was dunking on Bl. Fulton Sheen for being ugly.

Cackling in my car as I discover @HBThomists wrote a song about Garrigou Lagrange, though I assume all Frenchmen disapprove of bluegrass by natural instinct.
