Continuing his investigation into holy habits, Matt sat down for a drink and a chat with his friend, Alessandro DiSanto, one of the founders of Hallow app.

I’ve been running in circles Jumping the hurdles Getting caught in that rush of doing so much I’m feeling kinda worn out
All this checking the boxes Trying to be flawless Has me spinning my head, catching my breath Too afraid to slow down
I tell myself to keep this up That God wants more than just my love But I’ve been complicating things It’s just like me to overthink
Gotta keep it real simple, keep it real simple Bring everything right back to ground zero ‘Cause it all comes down to this Love God and love people (People) We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’ But if we want to find a way to change it It all comes down to this Love God and love people
Oh, this is freedom (This is freedom) The keys to the Kingdom (Hey-ey) Knowing life will be found when love can be loud ‘Cause love is what it’s all about
Love is patient, love is kind Rescues hearts and changes lives Love is all we need to make things right Gotta keep it real simple, oh It’s really so simple, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’ (Oh yeah) But if we want to find a way to change it (Find a way, yeah) It all comes down to this (Everything comes down to this) Love God and love people (Whoa)
Keep on loving, keep on loving Love God and love people So keep on loving, keep on loving It’s all about love It’s how we change the world Love God and love people
Fr. Altman has been in the news a lot recently. Many people are sympathetic to Fr. Altman’s zeal, but nevertheless raise some important questions, such as Steve Skojec. Anyway, since I’ll soon be moving to Wisconsin, I thought I’d compile the information about his case which I’ve come across…
1. This article from The Pillar contain the main details.
4. This interview where he makes a number of comments about men and women, as well as why women can’t preach (01:36):
5. This graphic which was posted on Patrick Coffin’s Facebook Page:
6. His comments about Church authority and infallibility are found in this article:
Many have jumped on the injection bandwagon, daring to call it our moral duty to take the experimental injection. Dear family, their statement, from the Bishop of Rome on down, is not infallible. No, as we learned in seminary, in the last two thousand years, depending on who’s doing the counting, infallible statements have been made maybe four to seven times – that’s it. Anything else? An Opinion.
Fr. Altman
7. He has been made many appearances where he has offered open criticism to a variety of targets.
The initial ones were produced by Alpha News:
He has also appeared on Church Militant a couple of times:
8. In response to his appearance on Taylor Marshall’s show where he called his bishop a “Nazi” and “Tyrant”, Michael O’Loughlin offered some commentary over the way we speak about our leaders:
As usual, Michael Lofton from Reason and Theology has excellent, balanced material on this sort of thing:
BALLADE IN PRAISE OF ARUNDEL (Made after a walk through Surrey and Sussex) By Theodore Maynard
I’ve trudged along the Pilgrims’ Way, And from St. Martha’s Hill looked down O’er Surrey woods and fields which lay Green in the sunlight. On the crown Of Hindhead and the Punchbowl’s brink Of no good thing I’ve been bereaven : But Arundel’s the place for drink The pubs keep open till eleven.
White chalk cliffs and the stubborn clay Are thrown about, and many a town Breaks on the sight like breaking day; But after all, who but a clown Could Arundel with Midhurst link, Where men go dry from two till seven? In Arundel (no truth I’ll shrink) The pubs keep open till eleven.
A great cool church where men can pray Secure from misbelieving frown; And in the square, I beg to say, The beer is strong and rich and brown.
A repeated theme throughout The Screwtape Letters has been that of habits. Fr. Mark-Mary Ames just released a book called Habits for Holiness, so Matt sat down with him to talk about building habits to really annoy Screwtape…
