How to think about Luther?
I comment on a recent book about Luther in my latest piece in Crisis Magazine.
American exceptionalism
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.
The Benedict compulsion
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.
The Esolen option
In the current Chronicles I review Tony Esolen’s new book Out of the Ashes.
Catholics and the revolutionary state
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?
On consulting the people
Should the Church pay attention to what people say? I discuss the issue in my most recent column in Crisis.
Benedictine options
My most recent column at Catholic World Report deals with the issue.
Blurred Lines
I have an (unfavorable) piece on the current papacy in the May issue of Chronicles.
Is anyone Catholic anymore?
I continue my worrying about current trends in my latest at Crisis.
Do ideals matter anymore?
Such is my question in my latest column in Catholic World Report.
