The Catholic Difference

A century after the Armistice

November 14, 2018
By George Weigel

By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

By George Weigel

If you’ve not read it, this silver jubilee is a good occasion to do so. Then share the Catechism with a friend.  

It’s a culture war, stupid

August 28, 2017
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, Respect Life, The Catholic Difference

To reduce a human being to an object whose value is measured by “utility” is to destroy one of the building blocks of the democratic order – the moral truth that the American Declaration of Independence calls the “inalienable” right to “life.”

Way beyond the New Atheist nonsense

June 15, 2017
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The Bible teaches that God impressed his intelligibility onto the world through creation by the Word.
