In this issue:
Editorial: Forty-Six FSSP Deacons
Fr de Malleray reports on the splendid ordination ceremony in Bavaria this month of 12 new deacons, for a total of 46, which will decrease next month when 25 of them will ordained priests.
The Epiphany as the Return of Ishmael’s Sons
Hasan, the lay coordinator of the St. Nicholas Tavelić Network in support of Muslim converts to Catholicism, explains how the propers of the Mass of the Epiphany bode well of the return of those distant children of Abaham.
The Anthropology of e-Catholicism
Giulia Bocaniala shares the findings of her study on the role of the Internet in conversions to Catholicism among the younger generation, which cannot replace in-person involvement in sacramental life.
All Quiet On the Epstein Front?
If paedophilia were made legal, would Jeffrey Epstein still be vilified as an arch-abuser, or hailed in retrospect as a prophet and martyr of the liberal age? – enquires Fr de Malleray, who concludes that legality is only worth its adequation to natural and divine law.
God – the Science – the Evidence
This international best-seller (over 400,000 copies sold) is replete with objective arguments in favour of God’s existence, even though it endorses evolution: Anthony Nevard reviews the book.
Knowing Latin Safeguards Historical Truth
Thomas Conlon PhD hints at George Orwell’s novel 1984 to illustrate the importance of Latin, even after the classical era, to preserve English history against its obfuscation, as exemplified in the 16th -century wrecking at Ely Cathedral.
Support & Events
Clergy retreat led by Fr de Malleray, FSSP at Stonyhurst on 5-9 October 2026; and Juventutem Young Adults’ summer weekend at Ampleforth on 31 Jul- 2 Aug.
