Current Needs
To those compelled to assist me
Dear Readers,
I am living in voluntary poverty and as best I can without money. This Stack is totally free. If anyone does want to support my mission materially, I am listing a few things I need:
(1) I also need a rain poncho for my next hike, I left my last one in Toulouse. covered by the generous abbatiale st foy in conques france, thanks!
(2) BOOKS: (a) Josef Kleutgen's two volume Philosophie der Vorzeit (Vol 1 here) PURCHASED BY A DEAR SUBSCRIBER, i still need (a) : (Vol 2 Here). One can usually find an old german printing relatively cheap. This marvelous book would help immensely on my scholasticism posts. (b) “Christianity and Classical Culture“ by charles norris cochrane.
If you do decide to send me one of these things (thank you!) maybe let me know in the comments so I can quickly erase it and no one else will buy.
This all can be sent to my address in germany:
Stephen Weller
Merzhauser Str 157d

Yours,
Stephen
I was checking that link for the lamp and it says that you will get it between October and January 2026. I don’t understand how Amazon works in Germany but is not good or you are asking for very specific items that are hard to get. I have many band lamps at home and I got them at Amazon and also at Walmart or other places.
I will check the book you mentioned now. I really want to collaborate and I am a big fan of pilgrimage. I also would do that if I had a different life. Actually I have this crazy idea that a way to clean the church is to put all the bishops and priest and in general my clergy in the streets to preach and live on poverty, only the ones who are sincere would survive to those conditions. I want Catholicism to come back to its origins but I know we grew so much that it’s impossible but I feel that the spirit of God is the streets and sharing a meal with the sinners, without walls or limitations of any kind.
I will be in Europe in September until October but in Istanbul, Ephesus, Capadoccia, Athens and ssome of the islands. Maybe we cross paths if you are near, probably no but who knows. Maybe you should publish a calendar where you will be next or during the year and people like me can teach you in person and help you in person with your needs. As I tell all the priests I met that my house is theirs to stay as they need the same with you if you come to California. But we are thinking in to do El Camino before we get too old, now the prospects to do it from Paris or Tours are thin. If we complete the last 100 km we will be happy! The only one I did was one to the Basilica of Lujan from Buenos Aires 76 km and I was much younger, next day i couldn’t walk and I had pain for a week. Now I don’t walk more than 2 /3 miles per day so I need a miracle but the spirit is willing and the flesh is weak.
What about the Teton 20F to 5F? Or you already go it? I was thinking neon green because if you sleep in the streets It is better if people can see you when they ride.
