Muggeridge, who had introduced Mother Teresa to the world with his best-selling book about her, was not yet a Catholic but on his way. He was, above all, a man of ideas. He ventilated several memorable ones that afternoon. There is one in particular that comes to me now. He told us his greatest fear was that the West would descend into a “new Dark Age with the technology intact.”
The memory of Muggeridge’s expressed fear arises after four days of looting and burning (as these lines were written in real time) in major cities of England, including London. At the same time, the phenomenon of “flash mobs” of looters is spreading in the U.S. along with growing law-enforcement concerns over it.

The Saint Augustine Institute of Catholic Studies Syllabus.
“The Saint Augustine Institute of Catholic Studies is the educational division of the Crusade of Saint Benedict Center. Its purpose is to provide a well-rounded and conveniently simple course of instruction in Catholic thought.
The goal of the Institute is the formation of a large and ever growing body of well instructed lay apostles in the Church Militant who will become a mighty force for expelling the modernist heresy from within the Church, and for spreading the True Faith throughout the world. The course of instruction is basically the same as that which has been offered at Saint Benedict Center since 1942. Our teachers are the popes, the councils, the saints, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and, most especially, Holy Scripture and Catholic Tradition. By learning from these unchangeable foundational sources, we continue to keep our eyes fixed on the narrow path to salvation, no matter how distorted and distracting …More
