Dear friends,
I wish you a blessed Feast of the Ascension and thank you for your support.
Originally published at OnePeterFive, this two-part essay is my attempt at offering a positive vision and strategy for the laity in their mission of reconstituting a Catholic political and social order (building Christendom). I am interested in having conversations and sharing ideas with anybody who is planning, or involved in, relevant constructive projects.

John Farrell joins the podcast to discuss the post-conciliar explosion in annulments following the canonical redefinition of marriage.
We explore the rise of Personalism before the Second Vatican Council and its impact on marriage law. Mr Farrell compares the 1917 and 1983 Codes of Canon Law and we discuss the wider theme of the post-conciliar abandonment of the rule of law. Mr Farrell discusses: Humanae Vitae, marriage preparation, 'Natural Family Planning', and the voluntary episcopal subjection to the secular state over marital separation (bed and board).
Mr Farrell hosts the YouTube channel: Annulment Proof (https://www.youtube.com/@AnnulmentProof) and the blog: ‘As the annulment turns..’ (https://catholicdivorce.blogspot.com/?m=1).
Dear Mr. Howard,
I wonder if you have thought about curating a reading/sources list for the topics discussed on this channel.
Having listened part way through your most recent presentation, I wonder how much, if any, of the work of Miguel Quesada Vázquez is available in English.
Keep up the good work.
Pax,
Jarred.
Mr. Howard, and fellow members, I wonder if you might be able to help me in an historical inquiry concerning Ngo Dinh Diem.
I have a friend who is interested in the role of Fr. Raymond De Jaegher during his time in Vietnam, as adviser to Diem (He was earlier collaborator with Chiang Kai-Shek, and maintained connections with Chinese nationalists, including Chiang and his wife once in Taiwan.)
Any leads or contacts would be greatly appreciated. (Was also thinking that the good Charles Coulombe might have some leads.)
Pax.
