Friends,

Over the years I’ve been blessed to receive feedback on how my writing has helped individuals in their pursuit of the truth. There is no other aim I have in the work I do in my spare time online. Given the nature of that feedback, I’d like to share the titles of some forthcoming books/booklets for those who might think they will continue to be helped.

Many of these have been in the works for many years. I’m sure many realize that much of what I write, even in article/blogpost form, sits in my hard drive space for a significant time before I post it. These projects take time because of the large amount of research, verification, and testing required to produce coherent and well-argued content.

Some of these titles will be in what I’ve labeled “booklet” form. I don’t mean it won’t be a book. Rather, I am trying more and more to make readable content. Today, average people are much more confident and capable of reading a book equal to or less than 50 pages. Not everyone is in a state to spend hours upon hours reading. And yet, many of my readers are those who do like to spend time surveying all the details of scholarship and the hefty process of constructing good arguments (as well as deconstructing bad ones). And so, I’m praying that I can make easy-to-read, scholarly, well-argued, and yet, shorter books. I tried this with my book on Melchizedek and the Last Supper, but it still came out at 100 pages. Folks are more likely to sit and work through a smaller book, even if it is jam-packed with footnotes. Ergo, some of these titles are labeled booklets.

The “booklet” entitled 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑃𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑢𝑠 will be a small treatment of the history of this condemnation, dispelling the myth that Honorius was condemned merely for negligence or for a private opinion. I think this subject garners immense interest, especially in light of recent events. I think far too many Catholic apologists have begun to take up a theory of the Papacy that exceeds the boundaries laid down by the facts of history. Albeit, these facts are not “dogmatic”, they nevertheless remain substantially unchallenged by the authors who have wielded the pen to salvage the Honorius situation. Most of all, the Apostolic Chair has not directly addressed the matter, either. This leaves an immense open door for exploration.

The “booklet” entitled 𝐼𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑦 𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 5𝑡ℎ/6𝑡ℎ 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ will be a historiography of all my notes that went into the preparation for the debate with Ubi Petrus, about 35% of which got out in the air.

The 𝑌𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 will be a compilation of articles since I began writing in 2016. Subjects will vary across the entire horizon of things I’ve written.

𝑃𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 will be, like the Melchizedek and the Last Supper book, a deep dive into the Patristic explanations and commentaries on Jesus’s death. Very detailed context will be exposed so that the unending appeals to “word concept fallacy” and “flowery language” will reach their breaking point.

𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 is, as many know, a project long in the making. I’ve written on the subject and it appears that there is a great deal of misunderstanding on the matter, especially among Catholics.

𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑡-𝐵𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑢𝑟𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 will be a survey of the understanding of key Saints and Church Fathers on the spiritual life and how God, despite superabundantly providing for the remission of eternal guilt, has been pleased to allow His Saints to spend their effort to atone or satisfy for temporal punishments due to sins done in the body before the resurrection. This will be mainly for inquiring Protestants who think these ideas are a late Medieval invention.

𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 will be a short survey of what the early Christian world understood about sex and intimacy within the marriage context of the clergy, especially Bishops, Presbyters, and Deacons. You’d be amazed at how inaccurate contemporary (and even that of pre-modern thought) assumptions are on this topic.

𝐴𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐 𝑆𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 will be addressing the question of whether the early Church understood, as St. Jerome is purported to have defended, the Episcopate to be a post-Apostolic creation with no divine and irremovable (sine quo non) sanction upon the Body of Christ.

𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝐵𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 𝑖𝑛 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 will be just that, a survey and commentary on the subject. Once again, some of the base assumptions that have become written in stone among Catholics, Orthodox, and Classically Reformed circles will be challenged. I’ll include an appendix on the subject of the disintegration of initiatory sacraments for infants in the Latin West, as well.

𝐷𝑒𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 will be an exploration of what the Greek and Latin Fathers teach, with a particular emphasis for hunting out what they understood about uncreated grace and whether Augustinian + Thomistic syntheses have betrayed that fundamental notion.

Lastly, something you hear rarely from me is requests for help. I hate to ask, especially since many of these subjects are really interests of my own. Therefore, I stand principally as the one to benefit. However, I’ve always sought to share my findings with the world. If you’d like to support me in the effort to get these books out there, please consider joining my Patreon, substack, and/or giving to my PayPal.
