Those which follow are not, strictly speaking, reasons for why this writer converted to Catholicism. Nevertheless, they are added points which substantiate Catholic truth, regarding the grounds for reasonable belief in God, Christianity, and the Catholic Church. If they have not already done so, readers are encouraged to consider this post’s precursor: ‘Why I converted… Continue reading Why I converted to Catholicism: Part 2
To begin, a little background. Matt Walsh is an American political as well as social commentator from the Daily Wire, an ostensibly right-wing news and opinion outlet. Between YouTube and Twitter, Walsh boasts more two million followers. Walsh can, in all objectivity, be described as ‘alt-lite’. That is to say, on race, cultural, and religious… Continue reading Matt Walsh’s new documentary
To any position that exhibits a Christian nature, the typical current-day Westerner responds with doubt or indifference. These responses–unwitting, effortless, even natural–are the fruits from the liberal, post-Christian environment in which most are immersed. Despite their ubiquity, for the reasons which follow, these responses should be rejected for being ignorant and close-minded. The basis of… Continue reading On doubt and indifference
Why I am a Catholic was written by Paul Van K. Thomson in 1959, a time at which the Catholic Church seriously challenged the liberal consensus. With the perspective of a former minister and convert from Anglicanism, Thomson outlines his case for Catholicism, relying on scriptural, historical, social, and subjective reasons in support. Intellectual impoverishment… Continue reading Why I am a Catholic
Why can’t we see God? Though misrepresented by rationalists as an obstacle to reasonable supernatural belief, this question deserves a satisfactory reply. In response, there are various cogent reasons we cannot see God, some of which are outlined below. God is a spirit Everything that exists is either material or spiritual. A material thing is… Continue reading Why can’t we see God?
The latest from Joe Biden pandering to the left: There are several points to be made about this tweet, which captures the contemporary left-wing attitude towards family and gender. Firstly and in correction, work is fundamentally a means to an end. True, some jobs are better paying than others; some people are suited to particular… Continue reading On work
Since the creation of this site in October 2015, the content has changed: both in subject matter (and hopefully) in quality. Naturally, these exterior changes have reflected an interior ideological journey, summarised in the following viewpoints held across four distinct periods: An anti-Islam stage. A patriotic, populist stage. A pro-white, identitarian stage. A paleoconservative and… Continue reading My ideological journey
In large part, the definition of ‘rationalism’ varies from source to source. Though, the fairest definition can be drawn from Pope Leo XIII in his 1888 encyclical ‘On the Nature of True Liberty’, where he held rationalism to be belief in “the supremacy of human reason.” A close corollary of this view is that reality… Continue reading The problem with rationalism
The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine treats of Jewish history, their meteoric rise to power during the Industrial Revolution, and the role of Jewishness in defining the 20th century–thus the book title. The book is striking, in that Slezkine–a renowned Jewish academic and winner of the National Jewish Book Award–discloses usually reserved truths about Jewish… Continue reading The Jewish Century
Naturally, on the news of my conversion to Catholicism, there have been a variety of responses from family and friends. Out of these, the most interesting has been obstinate denial: a complete refusal to consider the points establishing the truth of God, Christianity, and Catholicism. Objections such as “religions are different and equal interpretations about… Continue reading Liberalism is dogmatic

By way of background, Fuentes is an American commentator of political, cultural as well as social issues–from a nationalist and traditionalist perspective. Banned from Facebook, YouTube, Dlive, and a host of other social media platforms, Fuentes has nonetheless continued… Continue reading What the left fears most
Returning to something more topical, Saturday I attended the Freedom rally in the Perth CBD. This was an anti-mandatory vaccination event, inclusive of more general agitation against the Health Dictatorship. The event consisted of a few brief speeches at the Supreme Court Gardens (featuring the well-known Augusto Zimmermann), a two kilometre march through various main… Continue reading Some thoughts on the Freedom rally
Russell Kirk, on page 474 of The Conservative Mind, defines conservatism as the “negation of ideology,” with there being “no simple set of formulas by which all the ills to which flesh is heir may be swept away.” To delineate this concept, it is prudent to clarify what the “negation of ideology” does not entail.… Continue reading Why conservatives reject ideology
In a post last year, I outlined why left-wing promises as to the scope of their revolutionary agenda cannot be trusted. False assurances Something similar to this can also be said of our civil authorities, in the creation and development of their Health Dictatorship–a term used last year by Tony Abbott as regarded Victorian action… Continue reading False assurances and the mono-party state
Late last year I converted to Catholicism out of a firm belief in its truth. As such, I will below outline the logical basis for this conclusion. Introduction But first, a disclaimer: I only seriously began considering this field two years ago and have no particular expertise in Christian or Catholic apologetics. In evaluating the… Continue reading Why I converted to Catholicism
