Might does not always make right, or even sense

George WeigelFebruary 11, 20265 min read
I do not agree with those who claim that Mr. Miller’s chest-thumping effectively gave Vladimir Putin carte blanche to conquer Ukraine (and Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic states, and chunks of Poland and Norway), while giving the green light to Xi Jinping to ingest Taiwan.

With Sheen beatification moving forward, can Church learn from unfortunate episode?

Michael R. HeinleinFebruary 9, 20265 min read
No matter the obstacles, internally or externally, Sheen’s virtue developed and deepened. He grew holier throughout his life, no doubt strengthened by both his own sufferings in the Church and battling his own personal shortcomings, but also on account of habits and practices which nurtured and intensified his faith like the daily holy hour to which he committed as a young priest.

Dear People Who Love Winter, Just checking in here. See all that ice and snow? Yeah, that snowcrete that is our permanent backdrop now? The stuff we have children sliding all over trying to catch the bus or walk to school? Yup, that. It’s hard to miss. I will admit that it’s lovely and shiny […]

A Quaker, Bavarian monk and Catholic king: Exploring Catholic history in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey

Father Anthony D. AndreassiFebruary 8, 20268 min read

AI literacy: A digital examen for the soul

Sister Hosea RupprechtFebruary 5, 20265 min read
