American exceptionalism

July 10, 2017 by James Kalb

My latest column in Catholic World Report discusses it, and concludes it still has something to offer. It’s not perfect, but it still lets us deal with the current situation better than they do in the EU.

June 27, 2017 by James Kalb

In my most recent column at Catholic World Report, I note that Christians will inevitably become more separate as the world becomes less Christian, and suggest reasons some find the prospect intolerable.

Catholics and the revolutionary state

June 12, 2017 by James Kalb

I discuss the nature of the modern state and what to do about it in my most recent column in Crisis Magazine. What do Catholics do when the point of government is “fundamental social change” in an anti-Catholic and indeed anti-human direction?

Without law and freedom united, truth and dignity are destroyed

March 10, 2017 by James Kalb

And the technological approach to social life destroys both. So say I at Catholic World Report.
