An Interview with Yours Truly on NPR

Last updated on: August 17, 2022 at 6:55 pm   By Chase Padusniak

I’ve been off at “theory camp” for the past few weeks, which, unfortunately has slowed down my blogging (not to mention the 150 or so books I have to read for my exams this fall!). While I find more time to get back in touch with you lovely readers, I thought I’d share this—an interview I did recently about Marx and Catholicism on Worldview, hosted on NPR’s WBEZ Chicago (my thanks to Julian Hayda and the whole staff for the... Read more

A Byzantine Morning Prayer

Last updated on: June 13, 2017 at 3:25 pm   By Chase Padusniak

Would that my prayer life were not so tumultuous. All too often I oscillate between regulated piety and spiritual sloth, an inability to do more than utter a “thank you” to God as the day begins and ends. Of late, however, I’ve been blessed to have looked back into my Pocket Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians, popular among Byzantine Catholics (“Orthodox in communion with Rome”) as well as Eastern Orthodox believers. Therein, I found a lovely little prayer with which... Read more

Nostalgia: Enemy of Christianity

Last updated on: June 7, 2017 at 9:57 pm   By Chase Padusniak

Nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia—these days a common thing. My father re-watches Smokey and the Bandit, pining simultaneously for a culture and place he has never really known (smuggling, the American South) and for whomever he was in 1977, younger, with more hair. I myself feel it in the way many “90s kids” do: in the form of a desire to return to childhood, to watch Rugrats and experience once more the feeling of wholeness and simplicity I knew while mindlessly absorbing... Read more
