Video: New Age Dogma
As we recently “explained” here, both this website and my private life have been beset with problems, technical and personal. Indeed, things are moving so slowly at this old breaking-down website that I never even realised I posted a “new” video – released 10 months ago, back in January! There is little in me to explain […]

Breaking the Chains of Mediocrity by Carol Jackson Robinson (Review)
When sitting down to write, I began jotting “this book is wonderful”. Those words are not enough. For with this slim first volume of an envisaged collected works, we are indebted to Arouca Press for restoring to public awareness a little-known Twentieth Century Catholic essayist of the highest rank.

Video: Through the Embers of Christendom
If anyone is following this long-neglected website, now obviously breaking down, with (perhaps sinfully) long-neglected comments, they may wonder what is going on.
