What is culture, and why does restoring Christian culture matter for the future of the Church? In this keynote address from the Securing Sacred Ground Fundraising Gala, June 21, 2025, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski explains how authentic Catholic culture flows from the Holy Mass and why the traditional liturgy is the beating heart of Western civilization. From Gothic cathedrals down to hearth and home, Dr. Kwasniewski shows how everything in Christian society exists to "foster and protect the holy sacrifice of the Mass." He addresses the devastating impact of post-Vatican II reforms and the scourge of modern iconoclasm, and tells the audience they should embrace the Benedictine motto "succisa virescit" (cut down, it flourishes again) as they strive to rebuild. This is a rallying cry for Catholics who refuse to surrender their patrimony and are building the institutions needed for cultural restoration. Learn why initiatives like Sanctus Ranch and Lumen Christi Academy represent the future of faithful Catholicism.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.
