Friends, exciting news!
@BakerAcademic has asked me to write a SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
Please pray for me as I write. My aim: to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds.

Virtue is what makes us and our actions good. @cajetancuddy
"Virtue is bespeaking how human persons really change and yet remain what they really are.... Virtue is that which makes the actor and his or her actions both good." —Fr. Cajetan Cuddy
Matthew Barrett and Fr. Cajetan Cuddy discuss Aquinas' understanding of the Christian life and its role in leading to man's ultimate purpose. Listen to Episode #182 now:

We will see God as he is and be truly united to him, and the will shall overflow into that embrace and say, "Yes! I have my beloved." @cajetancuddy
"The beatific vision is a union of the rational creature with God." —Fr. Cajetan Cuddy

The launch of Aquinas KC was beautiful. Catholics, Protestants, all coming around our common doctor to answer hard questions from our secular age. Thanks to @MattMBarrett & Dominic Legge @dominicanfriars, and moderator @cajetancuddy. Great breakouts too!

Not to be biased, but this was one of the best conference I've ever attended. Join us next year!
In our distracted, anxious age, Aquinas tells us us we will find our greatest happiness in an undistracted, singular vision of God. What joy to join Dominic Legge & @cajetancuddy to make @AquinasKC a reality. 🧵

Probing breakouts by @Connor_Shack, Matt Pitts, Spencer McCorkel, and more.
We closed @AquinasKC with Vespers, followed by lots of conversations afterwards. More than speaking I enjoyed seeing how sacred doctrine builds friendships.
We already have the speakers for 2027. I look forward to seeing you in Kansas City again.
I am here at Donnelly College where the @AquinasKC Conference will happen tomorrow. Catholics, Protestants, both meeting up around Aquinas to answer some of the most pressing questions of our age. Can’t wait. We have a few spots left. Lunch provided. donnelly.edu/aquinas-kc
In Ex 32 Moses makes Israel drink their god. If you can consume your god so as to destroy him, your god is too small. In my homily I explain why idolatry is irrational, a subversion of the Creator as if God is not his existence. 🎧soundcloud.com/st-aidans/16-…

"The Book of Common Prayer is simply the Bible arranged for prayer and worship. In fact, eighty percent of all the words in the Book of Common Prayer are just Scripture."
In this lecture, Dr. @bryanchollon, president of @TASeminary, uses the Book of Common Prayer to explain how it is meant to order our affections. Listen to Episode #183 now:

Let us celebrate the Feast Day of Teresa of Ávila!
"O God, your blessed Son became poor for our sake, and chose the Cross over the kingdoms of this world: Deliver us from an inordinate love of worldly things, that we, inspired by the devotion of your servant Teresa of Ávila, may seek you with singleness of heart, behold your glory by faith, and attain to the riches of your everlasting kingdom, where we shall be united with our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."
—The Book of Common Prayer

"We are self-centered rather than God-centered. That's the status of all who sin. A heart like that cannot be trusted to know what it needs because it wants the wrong thing, and it's not been challenged to want anything else, which is precisely the mistake that expressive individualism makes about worship." —Dr. Bryan Hollon

I sent my students out. What did they find? Church was a passive experience of consumption. Listening to a band. Hearing a Ted Talk. This isn't a preference for a worship style. No, it's a drift into expressive experientialism. -@bryanchollon NEW episode is out! credomag.com/2026/10/men-wit…
"We actually coined a phrase to describe what my students experienced. We called it post-biblical Protestant evangelicalism. Church for most of these evangelicals was an entirely passive experience of consumption." —Dr. Bryan Hollon
