“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
Joan of Arc’s philosophical defense during her Inquisition
Question: What sort of help say you that this voice has brought you for the salvation of your soul? Joan: It has taught me to conduct myself well, to go habitually to church… Question: Have you some other sign that these voices are good spirits? Joan: Saint Michael assured me of it before the voices… Continue reading Joan of Arc’s philosophical defense during her Inquisition
Joan of Arc leading me to Le Royaume
One of the truly remarkable aspects of Roman Catholicism is the incredible view, that is, the world view through which we perceive our state of happiness. As I stand in the Church and look out, I see panoramic landscapes with beautiful vistas that include roaring rivers, mysterious forests, contemplative plains, majestic mountains, and deep echoing… Continue reading Joan of Arc leading me to Le Royaume
The Le Royaume Program – Phase 5 – Beyond the Counterrevolution with St. Joan of Arc
The fifth phase of the Le Royaume Program is understanding and the reintegration of our intellect with our newly created heart. To engage our intellect in Le Royaume is to direct it philosophically in accord with the movement of the Dove and Rose heart as inspired by St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse. Ours… Continue reading The Le Royaume Program – Phase 5 – Beyond the Counterrevolution with St. Joan of Arc
The Le Royaume Program – Phase 4 – The Kingdom Blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse
The fourth phase of Le Royaume is symbolic theology. We move further into the mysteries of our faith. Our journey through the heart in phase three moves us toward the unknowable, toward the dark light of faith in phase four. We have no way to understand the kingdom toward which St. Joan and St. Thérèse… Continue reading The Le Royaume Program – Phase 4 – The Kingdom Blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse
The Le Royaume Program – Phase 3 – The Dove and Rose (St. Joan and St. Thérèse)
The third phase is a walk along the Trail of the Dogmatic Creed with St. Joan and St. Thérèse over the majestic mountain peaks in a union of heart, will, and desire for the Kingdom of God. Here they prepare us for the grandeur of what will follow in the next. It is about joy,… Continue reading The Le Royaume Program – Phase 3 – The Dove and Rose (St. Joan and St. Thérèse)
The Le Royaume Program- Phase 2 – The March of Hope with Joan of Arc
The second phase is a deep relationship and union of hearts with St. Joan of Arc by the divine will and through the heart of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. This union of hearts means that we seek to understand as Joan understood and to reinterpret our understanding of the world through her lens and through… Continue reading The Le Royaume Program- Phase 2 – The March of Hope with Joan of Arc
