The election of Donald Trump has brought relief to many who feared another four years of Democratic Party rule. For some, his reelection represents the triumph of a nationalist conservatism after four years (or more, if you think of Joe Biden’s presidency as a third term for Barack Obama) of progressive mania. Doubtless for some…
If the whole point of doing theology is to conduct reasoned discourse about God, whose mysteries defy all human efforts to master, how then does one measure success? By what criteria are we to know the job is done, that the market on the meaning of God, both who He is and what He’s done,…
The conservative Presbyterian academic Carl R. Trueman is one of the most important and interesting voices in contemporary Protestantism. His top-selling 2020 book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution, was such an impressive scholarly tour de force it was celebrated by Protestants and…

His Eminence Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago has recently written a letter in his archdiocesan publication discouraging the practice of kneeling for the reception of Holy Communion. Now, I state straightaway that I am not here to encourage anyone to be disrespectful to their ordinary, and it is not my place to theorize on motives….
When the headline “Bishop Tissier has passed” flashed across my screen, it instantly felt as if a large hole was carved not just in my heart, but into the entire traditional Catholic world. The fact I could experience this as a young adult woman who had never even met him confirms how integral his presence…
It’s a longstanding Protestant trope that “Catholics don’t read the Bible.” To be fair, there is some truth in this. Throughout much of Church history, most Catholics did not read the Bible, simply because most people couldn’t read. Widespread illiteracy and the massive costs of producing a Bible before the advent of the printing press…
Back when Oprah was culturally relevant and had an interesting show, she once said that “you can have it all, but not at the same time.” Who knew such a lefty feminist would get something so right and, all these years later, some of us would still be peddling something so wrong. At great risk…
