Someone just unironically asked me:
Is the pope Catholic?
Happy 100th Birthday, Brother Alberic!
When asked about what drew him to monastic life he answered, โNothing. It wasnโt attractive at all.โ It just got into his head that it was something he ought to do, he said, and the idea wouldnโt go away.
I love this response so much! Vocations are mysterious.

Finished reading: All the Kingdoms of the World by Kevin Vallier ๐
In this critique of anti-liberal ideologies - primarily Catholic integralism - Vallier presents arguments for (history, symmetry) and against (transition, justice).

Amen.
