Edith Stein’s work on empathy is complex and rigorous; however, one ray of common-man light shines forth. This is that we come to know ourselves in great part through empathy with others. Part of our self-knowledge is primordially interior, but part is empathic. We see ourselves, but also see ourselves through the eyes of others.… Continue reading Empathy, culture, and légitimité

I desire to be widely read, rarely recognized, and never followed. Except on social media, of course.
Repentance and devotion to St. Joan of Arc
I have written extensively on the subject of empathic devotion to St. Joan of Arc. Our Lord and Our Lady have transformed my life through this uniquely powerful relationship. The Holy Spirit has willed to provide the sanctifying grace I need in hierarchical fashion, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and then through St. Joan.… Continue reading Repentance and devotion to St. Joan of Arc
Royaume France
Royaume France, as a personal Marian, Magdalenian, Jehannian, Thérèsian devotion, confronts the ruling secular Hegelian zeitgeist at its roots. Our union of hearts through contemplation with St. Mary Magdalene at the foot of the Cross and on the shores of Provence, opens the gates of the eternal, unchanging heavens. We stand obtusely to the world,… Continue reading Royaume France
On Monarchy
To focus on the worth of the individual Monarch is Aristotelian. To focus on the worth of the Monarchy itself, no matter the acceptability of the steward, is Platonic. The Aristotelian will demand that only worthy men and women be allowed to rule, which, of course, leads ultimately to democracy and the Luciferian "will of… Continue reading On Monarchy
The Feast Day of St. Thérèse and the final stage of my life
Thirty-five years ago today, the Feast Day of St. Thérèse, I received the grace of the Great Event, my instantaneous conversion to the Church and the Eucharistic, through the heart of St. Thérèse. Thérèse has orchestrated and watched over each phase of my life from conversion, through the long, intense suffering of self-confrontation by Jesus… Continue reading The Feast Day of St. Thérèse and the final stage of my life
Reasoning through Empathic Devotion to St. Joan of Arc
“I tried to affirm my faith through reason. I believed but needed to prove this belief to be reasonable using deductive logic based on known premises.” ~ Royaume France This is a nuanced statement. I do not mean that faith and reason are incompatible. They are compatible and cannot be otherwise. In fact, that is… Continue reading Reasoning through Empathic Devotion to St. Joan of Arc
St. Thérèse’s interpretation of Joan of Arc is the essence of our devotion to St. Joan
The knowledge of God is revealed in Royaume France through the spiritual genus of St. Mary Magdalene’s House of New Bethany, which is the mystical Kingdom of Our Lady’s Catholic and Royal France, along with the more specific species of the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse. This is Edith Stein’s phenomenology through… Continue reading St. Thérèse’s interpretation of Joan of Arc is the essence of our devotion to St. Joan
Empathic devotion to St. Joan and St. Thérèse
We walk the same path but experience things differently. We observe different things and form different judgements. This is experiencing the objective (path) in a subjective manner (our own judgements and viewpoints as we walk the path with others). In the science of Royaume France, we seek not our own point of view, but that… Continue reading Empathic devotion to St. Joan and St. Thérèse
How we are spiritually formed in the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse
I had a breakthrough in the systematic modeling of Royaume France. The breakthrough came through a meditative reflection on the chapters, The Science of Royaume France, and The knowledge of God. Three key material causes of our formation in the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse came into sharp focus. These are the… Continue reading How we are spiritually formed in the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse
We are not an organization, we are a heavenly kingdom
People often ask how they can join Royaume France. As a heavenly nation, we work through various organizations. However, we are not an organization. We are a family, a heavenly kingdom, participating in the goals and objectives of other organizations. We all will meet as one true Kingdom of France (le vrai Royaume de France),… Continue reading We are not an organization, we are a heavenly kingdom
