Summer Reading List

This reading list consists of some of the books on the original Cracks in PoMo Syllabus, and others that appear on the summer hotlist in the zine. 1. The Novelist, Jordan Castro: This is probably one of my favorite books to emerge from the so-called “autofiction” or “alt-literature” movement. It features a day (literally not even one full day) in the life of an aspiring writer, describing the minute details with a sense of both humor and reverence. Check out... Read more

Against non-ethnic Orthobros

They say you should take the zeal of a convert to a given religion with a grain of salt. Part of it is the honeymoon phase of their newfound beliefs. Their starry eyed condition blinds them to nuances and less than ideal realities that cradle-believers have come to understand with time. On the other hand, their beliefs tend to be mostly theoretical, as they haven’t had enough time to take root in their lived experience…to take on flesh and become... Read more

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the neoliberal co-opting of religious discourse

Last updated on: June 22, 2023 at 1:09 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

0 Comments

The quest for certainty has more than merely academic interest. It also enters into the heated controversy over the public role of religion. Here again both sides often turn out to share the same premise, in this case that religion provides a rock of security in an unpredictable universe. It is the collapse of the old certainties, according to critics of religion, that makes it impossible (impossible, at least, for those exposed to the corrosive influence of modernity) to take...

Why Ron DeSantis is Evil, and Donald Trump is not (really)

Last updated on: June 14, 2023 at 2:06 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

0 Comments

I’ll make this brief. Ron DeSantis and Donald J. Trump are two totally different [political] animals. Trump is many things: he’s a real estate tycoon, businessman, reality tv star, drag queen, camp genius, performance artist, decadent amoralist, actor, puppet, narcissist–but I would certainly not call him an evil or dangerous person. Certainly his presidency gave certain people license to do evil and dangerous things–I won’t deny that. But it’s hard for me to take any of the immoral or ridiculous... Read more

Sperging the Mass(es): more notes on neurodivergence and trad piety

Last updated on: May 30, 2023 at 7:18 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

0 Comments

So I recently spent an extended period of time around a group of trads who are very likely to find themselves somewhere along the higher functioning end of the Spectrum. This experience was quite frustrating, to say the least: their cognitive dissonance deeply disturbed me—partially because it forced me (a post-trad in recovery) to confront my own cognitive dissonance. A disclaimer: I’ve advocated for neurodivergent people who find the Tridentine Latin Mass and other forms of traditional theology, piety, and... Read more

*“There is a heightened excitement at these moments of fusion, reminiscent of Carnival, or of some of the great collective rituals of earlier days…[During] these times of collective effervescence…what is shared is something else. Not so much an action, as an emotion, a powerful common feeling. What is happening is that we are all being touched together, moved as one, sensing ourselves as fused in our contact with something greater, deeply moving, or admirable; whose power to move us has...

Notes on Andrew Tate

A follow up to my article “There’s something queer about Andrew Tate” published in The American Spectator “Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions. Their effects are known well enough: they undermine the will to power; they level mountain and valley, and call that morality; they make men small, cowardly, and hedonistic — every time it is the herd animal...
