Making memories

John Garvey April 20, 2021
By John Garvey
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Intellect and Virtue

In “De Rerum Natura,” Lucretius observes critically, “Some people sacrifice life itself for the sake of statues and a title.” We make the same mistake in trying to immortalize ourselves on the internet.

Democracy and distrust

John Garvey October 20, 2020
By John Garvey

Filed Under: Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

The real concern about Barrett is not that she would disregard the principles of democracy, but that she would heed them, and leave the course and pace of social progress up to the voters. Her opponents don’t care about the separation of powers; only about outcomes.

Cops and Padres

John Garvey June 22, 2020

Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue, Racial Justice

There’s a phrase in Juvenal’s “Satires” that might be translated as “Who will guard the guardians?” That’s the right question to ask for both police racism and clergy abuse.

Sense of smell

John Garvey April 16, 2020
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

John Garvey reflects on not having his sense of smell.

Coronavirus and ‘Hollywood Squares’

John Garvey March 16, 2020
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

The novel coronavirus that began in Wuhan, China, late last year has affected higher education like nothing I have experienced in my time as a university president.

Prayers for the sick

John Garvey October 15, 2019
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

I’ve been thinking lately about prayers for the sick.

One man’s meat

John Garvey January 17, 2019
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

Learning to speak and write clearly is essential to success in all the disciplines that young people are flocking to these days.

Say an Ave there for me

John Garvey November 25, 2018
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue, Respect Life

What many Americans may still not realize is that Ireland is embracing the culture of death with a zeal and gusto that few other countries — even traditionally secularized ones — would be so foolish as to imitate.

Praying with children

John Garvey September 20, 2018
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

The faith of the world’s young people is precisely what the present crisis is destroying. It will not be enough, though it is certainly necessary, for the church to root out the evil in her midst and bring about some semblance of justice.

What’s so funny?

John Garvey May 18, 2018
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

God made us in his image and likeness, and humor subsequently became an important part of every human culture on earth. Our laughing granddaughter is only the most immediate reminder of the joy we are meant for.

About praising famous men

John Garvey January 18, 2018
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Blog, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

I wish we had a litmus test to identify the people who deserve our praise. But it won’t ever be simple. We are all sinners.

Why poetry matters

John Garvey November 16, 2017
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Arts & Culture, Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

Richard Wilbur died last month. He was, Dana Gioia said, the finest poet of his generation and the greatest American Christian poet since Eliot.
