Pater Edmund Waldstein's Blog

About

Were the author of this blog to die today, something like the following would be inserted into the Necrologium Sancrucense:

Admodum Reverendus et Clarus Pater Edmundus Waldstein, professus et sacerdos Sanctae Crucis, doctor theologiae, magister theologiae, baccalaureus artium, lector in instituto theologico nostro.

The Necrologium has very strict ideas of what is worth mentioning; it would not mention that he was born in the eternal city, nor that he is related to theologian Michael Waldstein,  jurist Wolfgang Waldstein, onetime Commonweal editor Philip Burnham, political theorist James Burnham, and Hollywood actress Jane Wyatt.

    Your blog is really fascinating! As you know, the impressive sarcophagus in the “Totenkapelle” is still empty 🙂 !

    What I find amazing: Here I was, maybe 1983-84??, a baby sitter, holding a small crying baby in Rome, wakeful–his brother Johannes and sister Maria already asleep,–the child grows up and writes beautiful prose. Perhaps I should not be surprised, considering his parentage.

    A Roman Catholic Defense of Papalism – The Calvinist International

    […] Pater Edmund has a worthy series of essays on the Roman Catholic understanding of religious freedom and Church and State over at The Josias. In the third installment he interacts with Reformation developments and modernity, citing a few of us along the way. While we would reach very different conclusions from Pater Edmund, he cites our readings of the medieval and Reformation-era ideas, including Roman Catholic ones, as being accurate interpretations. In particular, he points out the importance of the doctrine of the two kingdoms and argues that the true Roman Catholic position does claim coercive power for the visible church. […]

    I’m studying in Gaming now, and found your site by googling Fr Reto Nay. God bless you! We attended Holy Mass at Heiligen Kreuz early in the semester

    I suggest you talk to the librarian at HK about your Amazon wishlist–convince him new inventory is needed and all that.

    Greetings,
    I like the picture of the Anointing at Bethany, (Mary drying Jesus feet) can I use a cut out of it for a book cover ?

    Father I am trying to reach Father Christopher Robert Abeynaike. I want to ask if he’d be so kind as to consider letting me have a copy of his dissertation (“The Eucharist in relation to the priesthood of Christ in the Letter to the Hebrews” by Roberto Abeynaike), which has become very important to my research.

    My name is Dr. Dominic Pedulla and my email is pedullad@outlook.com.

    Could you tell him or ask him to email me?
