Beauty, saving the world, and similar topics
I have a short piece up at Solidarity Hall, a site that seems fairly new. It’s a comment on a much longer piece by Mark Signorelli, his review of the book Beauty Will Save the World by Gregory Wolfe.
Published elsewhere online

My latest column is now online at Catholic World Report under that title. It’s a review of After Tocqueville by Chilton Williamson.
