About Agostino

Originally from Queens, N.Y., and having grown up in Dayton, OH, Agostino Taumaturgo is a unique figure. He is the product of the unlikely combination of coming from a Traditional Roman Catholic background and a spirituality-friendly home. It was in this home that Agostino first learned the basics of meditation, prayer, and spiritual working. In time Agostino completed his theology studies and was ordained to the priesthood and was later consecrated a bishop. He has since left the Traditional movement and brings this knowledge to the “outside world” through his teaching and writing, discussing spiritual issues and practical matters through the lens of traditional Christian theology.

Why I Believe the “Left-Hand Path” Doesn’t Exist

” . . . there is no left-hand or right-hand path, because there is no left-hand or right-hand grace, there is only actual grace supplying us with energy to accomplish whatever we’ve set our minds to. This makes the distinction between LHP and RHP not only superfluous but in essence a figment of human imagination.” Continue reading

Changing the Lord’s Prayer?

On the one hand, “To me this looks like he’s strawmanning and stooping to the lowest common denominator.”
