BYCU Light blogging this holiday weekend, but you don’t need any drinking material from me. Modern Drunkard Magazine has you covered: The Subtle Art of Beer Snobbery. Excerpt: The Beer Fuehrer This curmudgeonly gentlemen will declare he would rather guzzle urine than drink what he considers “bad beer.” And by bad he means any beer […]
The utopian/progressivist is often willing to sacrifice his spirit for the purpose of bringing about social change. This is the type of man Voegelin was talking about when he said “human beings who engage in this enterprise move away from the life of the spirit.” It needs to be emphasized that Voegelin was not just […]
And More Rambling Feast Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Probably the most gruesome Feast Day. Another great Tom Woods podcast, btw: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Erased by Library Association, Deserves Her Place in Literary History. It’s not as good as the interview with Rachel Brown, but it’s very good. Highly interesting, whether you […]
More Miscellaneous Rambling Later Addendum: Ignore the Tom Woods Show reference below. If you haven’t heard it, you MUST listen to Fr. Richard Altier’s 8/19/2018 homily. I’d seen and heard references to it, but hadn’t bothered to listen to it until Drew Mariani played the entire thing. It kept me up the rest of the […]
Miscellaneous Rambling Wow, whatta weekend. The most iconoclastic president and pope in modern history start to wobble. (Link to Pope Francis cover-up story, if you haven’t seen it yet.) TDE readers know I’m no fan of Pope Francis, but I’m not inclined to think he deliberately tried to unleash McCarrick on more young men. What […]

Who is Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò? The Nuncio that accused Pope Francis of covering up McCarrick's sexual abuse https://t.co/bPBQswJrWf via @taylorrmarshall — The Daily Eudemon (@TheDailyEudemon) August 26, 2018 Bookmark it: del.icio.us | Reddit | Slashdot | Digg |
BYCU Well, those Nuun hydration tablets seem to be doing the trick. I’m feeling almost normal. Of course, it might be the temperate weather we’ve been having, but regardless, I’ll take it. I think I’m even going to fire up the gin and tonic tonight. A loyal TDE reader sends along this most-righteous vintage poster. […]
I appreciate ever more those ancient and medieval stories of priests and monks, upon learning that they were to be made bishops, fleeing to the woods or deserts. They understood what would be expected of them. How did getting a bishopric ever become a goal for so many clerics? — Edward Peters (@canonlaw) August 22, […]
Rambling Shew. I’m working on little sleep this morning. A few years ago, I started having troubles falling back to sleep in the middle of the night. I found that attentive “holy listening” would quickly do the trick: I’d turn on Benedict Groeschel or someone like him, listen attentively, and the next thing I knew, […]
More Miscellaneous Rambling M-Cubed: My Man Morlino! You gotta check out his letter to the faithful. It’s not the “pray for the victims” tripe other bishops who are stuck in the “business as usual” mode are producing. Wow, thank you Bishop Bob! But to be clear, in the specific situations at hand, we are talking […]
Miscellaneous Rambling A few more worthwhile pieces regarding the priest/bishop abuses. First: A lengthy open letter by Ralph Martin. He pretty much says directly what I think needs to be said: The Church has a huge homosexual problem and it’s currently headed by a Pope who would rather gnaw off his harm than say anything […]
"The Daily Eudemon is the sort of thing that Chesterton or Mencken would be doing, if they were alive today. It's what, in saner times, was called journalism. In the writing and in the reading, it's exactly the sort of leisure we should want at the basis of culture."Mike Aquilina, Author of The Fathers of the Church and TV Talk Show Host.
"Literate Catholicism-urbane, witty, engaged-is alive and well! If you can read, you should be reading The Daily Eudemon!"David Scott, author of A Revolution of Love: The Meaning of Mother Teresa
"If you like your blogs pithy, nimble, pointed, high-spirited, and waggish, then bookmmark Eric Scheske's The Daily Eudemon. Ooops! You want prolixity, density, meandering, dull, and sober? Then run (do not walk!) to the blogs of the major news outlets. They have just what you want. Honestly they do." John Peterson, Editor, G.K. Chesterton: Collected Works, Volumes 12 and 13.
"Eric Scheske's web site is full of information and insight. Always worth a read."James V. Schall, Author of Another Sort of Learning.
"Eric Scheske has one of the few indispensable sites in an overcrowded blogosphere." Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling Author and Author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.
