​THINGS COMING APART?
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
The Fragility of Order: Catholic Reflections on Turbulent Times


On the edge of the third decade of the twenty-first century and the third millennium, William Butler Yeats’ premonition of things coming unraveled seems increasingly prescient—in the world, in the American republic, and in the Church. Order, it has become clear, is a very fragile thing; and order is especially vulnerable under the cultural conditions of a postmodern world unsure about its grasp on the truth of anything. 

This piece is an excerpt from Mr. Weigel’s new book, The Fragility of Order: Catholic Reflections on Turbulent Times, in which he brings thirty-five years of experience in Washington and Rome to bear in analyzing the turbulence that characterizes world politics, American public life, and the Catholic Church in the early twenty-first century.

(See also Mr. Weigel’s latest column examining the consequences of Ireland’s May 25 referendum that opened a path to legal abortion in the Emerald Isle by striking down a pro-life amendment to the Irish Constitution.)

CRAVING APPROVAL ISN’T EVANGELIZATION
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column


Toadying to the talking heads of postmodern intellectual confusion and to the tastemakers of decadent postmodern culture is not the way to be the Church of the New Evangelization, or the “Church permanently in mission” that Pope Francis calls us to be. It’s the way to become a laughingstock, en route to the boneyard of irrelevance. Read More
