A blessed and joyful Thanksgiving to all of our readers, and we may include our American neighbours, who, of course, hold their own day of thanks later in November, for various historical and cultural reasons (but who do honour Christopher Columbus on this day, resonant with its own cultural overtones, now, alas, controversial, even dangerous[…]
We are heartened to see a few cogent rebuttals to George Weigel’s odd and indefensible defense of the nuclear incineration of the two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. First Things, to their credit, responded, as did Ed Feser in the Catholic Herald, and Father Pokorsky and Jeffrey Mirus in Catholic Culture, along with yours truly[…]
England has long been called Our Lady’s Dowry despite her official departure from the Catholic Faith during the 16th century. In 1534, King Henry VIII declared himself the head of the Church of England, severing himself and the English from the Catholic Church.

I look to all of you, brothers and sisters of every state of life, to you, Christian families, to you, the sick and elderly, and to you, young people: confidently take up the Rosary once again. Rediscover the Rosary in the light of Scripture, in harmony with the Liturgy, and in the context of your[…]
Here is an uplifting article; President Trump’s early release from hospital will, alas, bring out the worst in some, like Lex Luther hissing over Superman overcoming the kryptonite necklace. The schadenfreude of the ravenous Marxist-Leftists – the virus claiming its prize victim – now seems, like news of Livingstone’s demise, to be rather premature. We[…]
By your work you show what you love and what you know. (Saint Bruno of Cologne, +1101)
