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.

I just published a brace of pieces on that timely topic at Crisis Magazine and Catholic World Report.

My current column at Catholic World Report says that America’s a country and not a cause or creed, so there’s no reason to put Catholicism and patriotism at odds with each other. Indeed, the two go together.

I go into all that and more in my latest at Crisis Magazine.

Current politics has lost any reasonable conception of the public good. That has to change, and changing it should be central to Catholic political activity. So says my latest piece at Catholic World Report.

My latest at Crisis Magazine. The analysis focuses on the Church and charges of “sexism” and so on, but the implications are broader.

Another piece at Catholic World Report, this one on the difficulties of “business as usual” in the face of radical and inhuman tendencies.
