City of the Immaculata

By: Brian Keith
  • Summary

  • Humbly presenting the Golden Thread of Our Theology. The City of the Immaculata (Niepokalanow in Polish) was formed by St Maximillian Kolbe as a means to combat the rising tide of secularism and indifference. Kolbe trained his MI to use any legitimate means necessary to bring the Immaculata to the whole world, in particular all forms of modern communication. While we cover a variety of historical and theological topics, our emphasis is through a Franciscan lens. Our patrons here are St Francis, St Bonaventure, St John Henry Newman, St Maximilian Kolbe and Servant of God Black Elk.

  • A Full Recovery of Our Scholastic Tradition
    Dec 23 2024

    Over 100 years ago, Pope Leo XIII called on Catholic intellectuals to rally and recover the wonderful treasure of our medieval schools. At the time, St Thomas Aquinas was the ready made answer to his clarion- he was precise, clear and systematically applicable. Some at the time and since have taken this to mean St Thomas is all that need be retrieved, yet here we will be making the case that this is not only lamentable, as it ignores the other giants of the period, but also possibly dangerous.

    From Ss Anselm and Bonaventure, to Thomas and Scotus, we want to see the rich heritage of the philosophical and theological insights these men gifted us restored to their place of eminence and prominence within the wider Catholic conversation.
