Reaching Out From the Cross: Some Catholic Reflections on Orlando

In the wake of the massacre that took place in Orlando last weekend, a torrent of opinion has issued forth from every conceivable perspective. Among these, several unusually perceptive voices have risen to the top, peeling back the layers of emotion and grief and navigating the cultural outrage to provide a Catholic — that is to say authentic — insight into what … Read more

Another Catholic Scholar Raises Objections to Amoris Laetitia

Last Friday, Steve Skojec reported on the eloquent and piercing response written by the German-speaking professor, Josef Seifert, as published by Professor de Mattei’s website Corrispondenza Romana. It seems that more and more conservative Catholics are taking heart and seeing it necessary to raise their own voices in opposition to the direction in which Pope Francis is now … Read more

LifeSiteNews Editor: “I simply could not believe it…”

John-Henry Westen is the editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews (LSN). While LSN hardly shies away from difficult topics in general, there has been, I think it’s fair to say, a certain degree of reticence in acknowledging in a public way just how damaging the Francis papacy truly is. They have covered the commentary of other Catholic prelates, but … Read more

Remember, Europe: In Hoc Signo Vinces

As the smoke clears in Brussels, my mind turns to the Europe that once was. I love that continent in a way that’s hard for me, as an American, to explain. When I studied history, I was always far more drawn to the Catholic drama of the kingdoms that grew up from the ashes of Rome than … Read more

Pope Francis Reveals His Mind to Private Audience

In a 2 March article published by the French Catholic magazine, La Vie, editor-in-chief Jean-Pierre Denis recounts parts of a private conversation between Pope Francis and a group of thirty Catholics engaged in the field of social Christianity – led by French Socialist Delegates – which took place on 1 March of this year at … Read more

Happy, Not Brain Dead: Even Joyful Trads Have Limits

There’s an old article of mine making the rounds. The title sort of gives it away: They Will Know We Are Traddies By Our Love. Someone resurrected it from the archives in a coy attempt to paint me as a hypocrite, the same day I published this. I had intended to just let it pass, since this, … Read more

During college, I attended a Melkite Rite parish of mostly Lebanese origin. It was during my time there that I became painfully aware of the persecution of Christians by Islamist extremists throughout the Middle East, especially Syria, which borders Lebanon. Parishioners spoke with startling familiarity of the persecutions which their own acquaintances and even relatives … Read more
