The Importance of Slow Architecture

Last updated on: May 3, 2016 at 7:19 am By Elias Crim

I’ve not been to Las Vegas since my high school Latin group stopped there briefly on the way back from the Junior Classical League convention up in Bozeman. But I take it the new resorts look much more glamorous than their original models in Europe, Egypt, wherever. For some tastes, Paris in Nevada trumps (forgive me) Paris in France, even at 50% scale. It’s been remarked that theme parks can offer a kind of childlike introduction to a more grownup understanding of... Read more

The Father of Catholic Social Teaching

Last updated on: April 29, 2016 at 6:27 pm By Mark Gordon

“Charity is the Samaritan who pours oil on the wounds of the traveler who has been attacked. It is justice’s role to prevent the attack.” – Blessed Frederic Ozanam During the June Rebellion of 1832 in Paris, memorialized in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Miserables,” many of the insurgents were students from the Sorbonne, still a college within the University of Paris system. In the rebellion, some 93 insurgents were killed, along with 75 members of the army and national guard. As one... Read more

Who Does God REALLY Love?

Last updated on: April 26, 2016 at 3:18 pm By Mark Gordon

I have a friend named Trish who frequently corners me after Mass to ask questions about things she finds baffling about Scripture or Catholic teaching. Her questions range from the mundane – “Why, if Mary remained a virgin, does Scripture refer to the ‘brothers and sisters’ of Jesus?” – to the sublime – “How can it be that Jesus is both human and divine?” Why Trish brings her questions to me, I’m not sure, but I always try to reward...

A Conversation on War, Torture, and the Limits of Evil – Part 4

Last updated on: April 18, 2016 at 8:52 am By Paul Grenier

[This post concludes Paul Grenier’s dialogue on torture and solidarity. You may also read part 1, part 2, and part 3.] PROFESSOR. Certainly it is a good idea to take a break, though I disagree that we have exhaustively covered our topic. We have done nothing but review the problem of torture in the abstract and have not even scratched the surface of why the Americans are torturing in fact. After all, not a shred of evidence has come forward... Read more

“Running In and Out with a Flag” (the Distributist League)

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 9:30 am By Elias Crim

“Look here,” G.B. Shaw once gently chaffed his friend and debating partner G.K. Chesterton, “Is there really a Distributist League, or is it merely Titterton running in and out with a flag?” Shaw was referring to W.R. Titterton, the de facto organizer of the League, who once described their meetings thusly: “The formal business of the [Distributist] League was followed by after-meetings in the general bar of the Devereux, where an account by one of the members describes pint pots...

Amoris Laetitia, Vatican II, and “The Long Defeat”: A Defense of the Pope as Shepherd

Last updated on: February 15, 2017 at 8:48 am By Daniel Schwindt

There are many devout people, it seems, who imagine the Church a purely transcendent, an ideal which has no good reason and certainly no need to descend into the darker, dirtier areas of earthly life. They would have the Good Shepherd sit on a hilltop, preaching his principles and shining his light for the world to see. But the problem is that sometimes the sheep leave the hilltop. Read more
