I continue discussing immigration at Catholic World Report.

For a salute to the German bishops as model churchmen for our time–sort of–see my latest column at Crisis Magazine.

My current column at Catholic World Report looks at international migration from the standpoint of source countries and their people, and suggests skepticism about whether it solves many problems. Next month I’ll look at it from the standpoint of recipient countries like America.

My October column in Crisis deals with just that question.

That series of abstractions is in fact the topic of my new column at Catholic World Report.

That’s the topic of my new column in Crisis Magazine.

I have a piece at Catholic World Report on the pitfalls of world government and one at Crisis Magazine on the consequences of the changes leading to the recent Supreme Court decision on “gay marriage.”

I’ve a couple of pieces on that topic, one at Crisis Magazine on the virtue of docility–readiness to learn and be taught–in a time of teachers who are both weak and willful, and one at Catholic World Report on the collectivist temptation in present day Catholic thought.

I follow up last month’s piece at Catholic World Report on the destruction of thought with another on its possible future.

Current public thought excludes basic realities, so we shouldn’t use it as a basis of discussion with people today. That’s the thought behind my latest piece at Crisis Magazine.
