Mary’s message

October 25, 2021
By Brett Robinson
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Saints

Mary is the medium that brought Christ’s saving message into the world. It’s a message that cannot be contained by a text or meme because, like love in its highest expression, it is ineffable.

The quest to be ‘somebody’ online forgets who we really are

April 26, 2021
By Brett Robinson

Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Guest Commentary, Parenting

‘Moby-Dick’ and the online search for identity

August 24, 2020

A new St. Nicholas to gather us to hearth and home

December 19, 2018
By Brett Robinson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

Perhaps we need a new, albeit very different, St. Nicholas. Someone who recognizes our poverty, a poverty of attention and time, and can fill our homes and hearts with something far more valuable than more screens and chocolate coins.

The way forward in an age of attention deficit

September 25, 2018
By Brett Robinson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

Each new media technology has given the church new channels for sharing the joy of the Gospel, but the story has not always gotten through.

Yanny vs. laurel

May 24, 2018
By Brett Robinson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

Yanny vs. laurel is about how our senses can be tricked by subtle changes in acoustic frequencies, but it is also about how we have a strong desire to know what is true.

Searches beyond Google’s capabilities

Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

My mother was very good at teaching me to read the subtle signs of providence, and she got me very excited that this book that had been so magical for the reviewer was rediscovered in our library.

Technology: An unknown pilgrimage

September 21, 2017
By Brett Robinson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary
