Here’s the bad news: thanks to the cynical maneuverings of the military-industrial complex since Election Day, I’m not totally confident—and there’s no reason to be—that most of us will still be alive by President-elect Donald Trump’s planned inauguration date of January 20, 2025. A global thermonuclear war is entirely possible, if not imminent. And if…
With the exceptions of God’s loving mercy and the eternal joy of Heaven, all good things come to their end. This year’s series concludes with a glimpse into the Church’s final Sunday of our liturgical whirl about the Sun. Although this Sunday is – this year – numerically the 27th after Pentecost, we use the…
A large mug arrived in the mail the other day, around which I counted twenty or so apothegms written by St. Augustine. It was a gift, anonymously sent by someone who obviously thought I wasn’t getting enough to read from the celebrated Doctor of Grace—or, that being already familiar with Augustine, it might be a…
Editor’s note: we continue our weekly serialisation of Dr. Edward Schaefer’s new book A Simple Man’s Case for Tradition. This book is an excellent introduction to Traditionalism and provides an easy way for Trads to introduce the movement to fellow Catholics who are seeking deeper answers to today’s questions.

The explanation for this accusation? A tattoo of the Latin phrase “Deus Vult,” which means “God wills…

Now that our long national nightmare is over and the fury and fear about the end of democracy and the rise of fascism with its apparatus of terror and internment camps are finally behind us, might it be possible to start thinking about children again? I mean, now that it’s safe to have babies, why…
Many Catholics viewed Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants with the same seriousness they have for Republicans stumping about abortion: big talk, little delivery. But something serious is in the air. President-elect Donald Trump has selected Stephen Miller as his Deputy Chief of Staff, a known immigration stickler; and he has…
With the first successful implementation of Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface, Neuralink, at the beginning of the year, perhaps we will one day consider that the era of transhumanism was officially begun in 2024.
