A Last Word on Catholic Culture
Christopher Dawson’s legacy was to document as learnedly as he knew how both the natural and the necessary connection between religion and culture.
The Irrepressibility of Innocence
Who was this extraordinary young woman, Joan of Arc? And why should it matter that, nearly six centuries after her death, that homage be paid to her memory?
Giving the World a Christian Shape
There is no Christian culture if the Church commissioned to preach into it falls silent, or worse.
Grounding the State in the Christian Creed
A culture without public prayer is a culture that no political intervention can preserve.
Optimizing Human Fulfillment
A well-ordered society requires the presence of three essential relationships: man’s connection to the world, to one another, and to God.
Living an Integrated Life
To live a full human life as a being composed of a body and soul united, a human society must account for and even point us to both – but how?
Astronomy for the Soul

Combatting the “Naked Public Square”
There are no political solutions to the current decline of Western culture.
Religion and Politics in Public Life
Long before woke, the separation of church and state was the first virtue signal.
In Defense of Mary, Maiden-Mother of God
The Church has always directed our attention to Mary because Christ chose His own humanity from hers.
Rediscovering Our Roots
Catholc culture is, first and foremost, a society built upon a family whose identity draws from the Holy Family.
Read This Book!
Chesterton, as a writer of and for the human imagination, might be the best evangelist in an age where truth is not allowed to enter, and beauty has been replaced by the obscene.
Configuring All Things to Christ
Christianity is mere personal piety if it does not penetrate into every aspect of our public life—the culture at large—and we must insist on bringing it there.
Doing Politics Without God
The United States, founded upon freedom of religion, has turned rather into freedom from religion.
Cultivating the Soil
Any culture that would intentionally, or otherwise, stifle the maturation of a baptised soul is evil.
Whither the Fall?
The wisdom that opposes and conquers the world, turns to God and says, “take all my liberty, memory, understanding, and entire will…leaving only Thy love and grace.”
Probing the Depths of Evangelization
Public expression of the faith is ordered to the evangelical imperative to convert, not just this or that person, but all peoples.
Does God Speak?
How do Catholics justify their assertion that God came into the world and spoke to mankind about Himself?
Sacramentalizing the world
We are called to be as Christ, scouring the streets and byways in search of the lost sheep.
Christ as the Center of Culture
The incarnation is the model, par excellence, of Catholic Christendom. Christ came to establish His Church here, in our midst.
