Before Canada went insane they built some of the most beautiful churches on earth. 🧵 Image
Notre Dame Basilica is located in the historic district of Old Montreal. Image
Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Image

I hope to visit all of these beautiful churches before the Trudeau administration allows them to be burned to the ground like 33 other churches in Canada since 2021.

Let’s raise awareness before they are gone!! Image

In 1987 American academia was rocked by the release of The Closing of The American Mind.

Bloom was the first to say out-loud what many already knew.

10 chilling quotes from The Closing of the American Mind. 🧵 Image
1) We are like ignorant shepherds living on a site where great civilizations once flourished. The shepherds play with the fragments that pop up to the surface, having no notion of the beautiful structures of which they were once a part.
2) Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise----as priests, prophets or philosophers are wise. Specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.

The most beautiful abbeys on Earth 🧵

1. San Galgano, the abbey open to the heavens
2. Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, France

Converted into a prison during the French Revolution, it underwent a magnificent restoration in the late 19th century.

Victor Hugo once said that Mont-Saint-Michel is to France what the Pyramids are to Egypt.
3. Sénanque Abbey, France

Lavender cultivation by the monks of Sénanque not only supports their livelihood but also transforms the abbey’s surroundings into a sublime landscape. Image

Five books that have been especially impactful for me in developing a love for classical education. 🧵

1) The Abolition of Man Image
1) The basic purpose for a why we educate has dramatically changed and what we have replaced the ancient telos with may unravel civilization itself. As soon as I finished reading The Abolition of Man I started over and read it again. This is a must read. Image
2) The Lost Tools of Learning is not a book. It is less than 30 pages and came from a speech Dorothy Sayers gave at Oxford in 1947. It would be difficult to exaggerate the impact it has had on the contemporary classical education movement. Image

The modern world uses math to create addictive social media algorithms. The old world used math to create timeless works of shocking beauty.

The most beautiful stained glass in the world

A thread 🧵

1. Sainte-Chapelle, Paris
2. The rose window of Notre-Dame de Paris

Christian symbolism added a new numerical layer to stained glass geometry.

Rose windows often feature petals in multiples of eight, representing the seven days of Creation plus an “eighth day” symbolizing Christ’s return. Image
3. Cathedral of Our Lady of Amiens, France Image
