Post One

This blog is being created as an outlet for various rants, Catholic and historic.

I am a progressive. As GK Chesterton said in Orthodoxy:

“The corruption in things is not only the best argument for being progressive; it is also the only argument against being conservative…. [A]ll conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone, you leave it in a torrent of change. If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must always be painting it again; that is, you must always be having a revolution.”

However, like Chesterton, I am a convert to Catholicism and a devout traditionalist. In short, I am (so much as I am given to understand) orthodox.

Saint Benedict, pray for me. I’m gonna need it.
