An essay by J. Sottosanti titled “ Dental Surgeon’s Observance of Teeth in the Image on the Shroud of Turin ” published on 1 September 2025 supports the view that the lower teeth are partially visible on the image of the Shroud of Turin. The paper is short at just over 1,500 words and is an easy read. Many have assessed the Shroud image to be anatomically correct. Whilst the STURP team did not comment specifically on the teeth in 1978, the opinion that teeth are visible on th

Thomas Aquinas in 50 Pages: A Layman’s Quick Guide to Thomism  by Dr Taylor R. Marshall is pretty much what the title states it is. It is a text about the basics of how St Thomas Aquinas thought and what he taught. The text is organized into 12 sections, excluding the introductory note and endnotes (references). The last section before the endnotes is a helpful glossary. The main text is over fifty pages if one includes this but it is still a very short book. It is an excelle

One can always trust the post-Vatican II church for some good waffle. This shouldn’t be surprising as Leo XIV blessed a block of ice at some “climate justice” conference last month. But more importantly, a document titled “ Mater Populi Fidelis ” (“The Mother of the Faithful People of God”) was released on November 4. It is a “Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles Regarding Mary’s Cooperation in the Work of Salvation” signed by Leo XIV on October 7 that is supposed to clarify

Angels (and Demons): What Do We Really Know About Them? is a concise text about the topic. It was first published in 1995. The book is about 150 pages long in total, the main text is about two-thirds of the book. The remaining are the 4 appendices and the bibliography. This text is not  in the form of a Socratic dialogue as is common in books by Kreeft. It is in the form of Q&A, which is still very easy to read. The text contains a total of 100 questions organized into 4 par
