| Father Ryan Erlenbush formerly blogged as Reginaldus, in honor of Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange |
Father Erlenbush also blogs for
the New Theological Movement blog (newtheologicalmovement.blogspot.com). For
some time, Fr. Erlenbush blogged under the pseudonym, “Reginaldus”; however, it
seemed better that Fr. Ryan Erlenbush should blog under his own name, and thus
he now blogs as Father Ryan Erlenbush at the New Theological Movement blog.
In addition to the New Theological
Movement blog, Fr. Erlenbush also has posted some of his homlies at Father
Ryan’s Sunday Sermons (fatherryanssundaysermons.blogspot.com).
Father Erlenbush serves as a
priest at Sacred Heart Church in Miles City Montana.
