What Was Wattle and Daub? The Mud-and-Stick Wall That Stood 600 Years

From Medieval Wisdom


Medieval Way explores the construction techniques, materials, and long-term durability of these historical walls. By examining the unique composite properties of the wattle and daub method, this deep dive reveals why this ancient building practice remained a standard across various global cultures and how it managed to withstand centuries of environmental wear.

There is a house in England, with people sleeping behind its walls tonight, that was finished before Columbus ever crossed the Atlantic. Walk past it on the street and you would guess the walls were stone, or thick plaster over brick. That is exactly what you are meant to assume. The truth is that those walls are mud and woven sticks. Wet dirt, pressed by hand around a cage of green wood, and left to harden in the open air. We have a word for that kind of building today. We call it primitive, a peasant's stopgap, the kind of thing people supposedly settled for because they did not know any better. And yet the wall is still standing six hundred years later, holding up a roof, keeping out the rain, while the concrete and brick we invented to replace it crack and crumble in a fraction of the time. This is the story of wattle and daub, the cheapest wall human beings ever built, and how it quietly outlasted nearly everything that came after it.

Catholicism's Only Plan To Survive

From Totus Catholica


The communities that modernise the most are emptying the fastest. The ones the world calls outdated are full of 25-year-olds. The insane plan, it turns out, was never really insane. It is fidelity, fruitfulness, and endurance under fire, and it is older than the church itself. The Hebrew word she'erit means the remnant, the surviving core through whom God carries the future. Elijah thought he was alone. God had kept 7,000 who never bowed. Isaiah promised a faithful core would survive and be restored. Paul in Romans 11 takes Elijah's 7,000 and says there is now a remnant chosen by grace. Jesus seals it in Matthew 16:18: the gates of the underworld will not prevail. Gates are defensive. The church is the one on the move. Persecution did not shrink her. Tertullian watched it happen and named the mechanism: the blood of Christians is seed.

“Please Turn Back”: Leo’s Plea to Group Planning Schism

How do Catholics go into schism from a Church that no longer teaches the Faith once delivered to the saints, like the Synodal Church? 

From Aleteia

By Kathleen N. Hattrup

On the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Pope Leo addressed a personal letter to the leader of the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X, which is planning a schismatic act on July 1.

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX or SSPX) is planning an unauthorized ordination of bishops on July 1, which is “a schismatic act.” The pope has to approve the ordination of bishops, who are the successors of the apostles.

On June 30, 1988, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of the FSSPX, illicitly consecrated four bishops in Écône, Switzerland, against the will of Rome. All the participating bishops incurred excommunication. In an attempt to bring about reconciliation, Benedict XVI lifted that excommunication some decades afterward.

Now, the group plans a new set of ordinations without papal approval.

Follow the history of this situation below. Most recently, on June 24, the group wrote an open letter to the Pope.

Now, Pope Leo, on the feast of two great patrons of Church unity, Sts. Peter and Paul, wrote a personal letter to the current leader of the SSPX.

The full text of the Pope's letter is below:

~

LETTER OF POPE LEO XIV
TO THE REVEREND DAVIDE PAGLIARANI
SUPERIOR GENERAL
OF THE PRIESTLY FRATERNITY OF SAINT PIUS X

With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X.

The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently shown to you.

In this spirit, and filled with Christian affection, I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back! I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of the faithful, because the schismatic act you are about to undertake would deprive them of the licit and, in some cases, even valid reception of the Sacraments, which they love and seek for their sanctification.

The Church is open to a path of dialogue and understanding that the Holy Spirit can make possible and fruitful.

I pray for you, because to tear the seamless garment of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity. May the Lord enlighten your consciences and awaken your hearts. With a sorrowful yet hopeful heart, I feel it is my duty, through the authority received from Christ, to ask you to desist from your intended act. I entrust these intentions to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Good Counsel.

From the Vatican, 29 June 2026
