Benedict XVI, Vatican II, and the “hermeneutic of reform”
​
By Mark Brumley on Jun 29, 2020 09:40 pm
Recently, Second Vatican Council’s legitimacy and value have again been challenged. Some observers behave as if Benedict XVI saw Vatican II as a problem and proposed a “hermeneutic of continuity” to overcome the problem. Some [...]

​
By George Weigel on May 13, 2020 03:01 am
As the world and the Church mark the centenary of the birth of Pope St. John Paul II on May 18, a kaleidoscope of memories will shape my prayer and reflection that day. John Paul [...]

Freedom from Reality: The Diabolical Character of Modern Liberty
​
By Thaddeus Kozinski on Apr 12, 2020 04:01 pm
As our physical and political freedoms are increasingly curtailed by Leviathan due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we are hopefully becoming more aware of the value of what we are losing. Hopefully, it will be the occasion for a more urgent and honest reflection on the true meaning of freedom. Freedom from Reality: The Diabolical ...

Thoughts From Isolation: On Descartes & the Intellectual Roots of Our Cultural Woes
By Siobhan Nash-Marshall on Apr 13, 2020 04:00 pm
So what do I believe? What do I really believe? I presently believe that I feel the sun warming my skin, that I see light streaming through my windows, that I am sitting at my desk, that I am holding a pen in my hand. I believe that it is Wednesday and that I ...

Proxy wars over religious liberty
Ryan T. Anderson | National Affairs
Religious liberty is a prerequisite for a moral life, but it is not the substance of it. A proxy war is not a substitute for the hard work of moral argument and moral formation.
A Restless Tocqueville
By Bruce Frohnen on Apr 15, 2020 04:00 pm
Alexis de Tocqueville distanced himself from the liberal view that men by nature spontaneously would form lives of blissful contentment, were they not “corrupted” by political society. Nonetheless, at the heart of this liberal Tocqueville lies the “restless mind”—a mind that sees the essence of humanity in the realization that each of us “dies ...

“On the Burning of Notre Dame”
By David Russell Mosley on Apr 15, 2020 10:30 am
From arches old, the fire enfolds the spire. The holy relics, art, and host were saved. The stellar ceiling now reveals the graven Sky. The circling stars shine through the fire. Parisians gather to pray and vent their ire, Grieving loss of culture, loss of faith. The beads all clinking as they pray Ave ...

The Notre Dame Fire: A Sign of the Times
By Brendan Fowler on Apr 15, 2020 02:45 pm
Our Western culture is on fire and not in a good way. In the midst of a pandemic, economic chaos, and continuous social deconstruction, the burning of Notre Dame paints a startlingly fitting image of the West. The Memory of the Ideal Architecture is the structured form of the Ideal; it is the culmination ...

Modernism vs. Traditionalism in the Art of Female Nudes
By David Breitenbeck on Apr 21, 2020 03:59 pm
In two famous paintings of female nudes, we see more than just two differing depictions of the same subject. We see the essential differences between the Traditionalist and Modernist artist: The former looks outward, seeking something higher than himself to contemplate, while the latter looks inward, seeking to assert his own will upon the world. ...

Is Conservatism an Ideology?
by Bradley BirzerIn his excellent, short book, Conservatism: Dream and Reality, Robert Nisbet had no problem in identifying conservatism as an ideology, proclaiming it one of three ideologies to have emerged since the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, the other two being radicalism and liberalism. In his definition of the ideology, conservatism, Nisbet provided six “dogmas” that every conservative—to one extent or another—accepts... [MORE]
The Plight of the Conservative Artist in a Liberal World
by Kay ClarityThe left has long understood the power of the arts in furthering radical ideas, in a way conservatives have largely failed to grasp in defending theirs. Conservatives with the financial means must increase their support of conservative artists for the sake of a culture in immediate need of the wisdom that a long intellectual, cultural, educational, and political conservative tradition has produced... [MORE]
The Religious Roots of the Socialist Fantasy  by James Poulos
