August 1On this feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord – a transfiguration to which Christ’s disciples are all called – we need to make as honest an assessment of the Christianity of our day as Newman did the Christianity of his. We need to confess the lie embodied in our deeds: the infidelity of priests and people to their vows and promises, the scant transparency and accountability of leaders, the apostasy from or sacrilegious reception of the Holy Eucharist. The debasement of the language of faith.Read More

July 30Envy is hurting our Church, and envy is poisoning our politics. Gone are the days we extolled and pursued virtue and all that is good. Instead, we try to destroy those who still choose those ways and do not comply with the modern way.Read More

July 28The Catholic liberal arts intellectual tradition provides resources unsurpassed in the world. And at a time when the public schools are destroying themselves, running after every educational and cultural fad, the Catholic Church has an unmatched opportunity to introduce more and more young people to the life-altering wonders of that tradition. It is an opportunity we are repeatedly squandering, and for which our children and grandchildren will not judge us well.Read More

July 27Our current crisis is not due to a lack of human ingenuity or worldly resources. The Church in Germany is wealthy – and moribund. It is a crisis of faith and the lack of a supernatural outlook, a failure of confidence in His grace and truth. This scene indicates that such has always been the temptation of the shepherds, and that only by way of such confidence can shepherds feed the flock.Read More

July 25A robust Church is one whose members are active in the public square, proclaiming the truths of the Faith and working to influence the direction of the culture. No more apologizing or being embarrassed when the culture disagrees with us. We have been given the words of eternal life by our Lord, and we are obligated to share them with the world.Read More
