When Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for President of the United States on Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention, she wore black. Many were expecting her to sport the white pants suit that Hillary Clinton made “a thing” to signify the women’s suffrage movement as she attempted, like a bird against an office window,…
As a continuation of Saint Day Customs Part 1 and Part 2, this third part is dedicated to various customs for the liturgical year which are not sufficient in themselves to justify an entire article but which nonetheless should be better known and observed by the faithful. In particular, the liturgical celebrations of Our Lady…
Take a look around. Do you like what you see? I’m talking about the daily onslaught of crocs, “yoga” pants, or any number of questionable clothing purchases people are making these days. And lest you think I’m some old fuddy-duddy (although I did just use the word fuddy-duddy), I’m a card-carrying millennial. And in defense…

Among my guy friends, we joke that a man’s “biological clock” has to do with getting killed in action or dying in adventure. “So-and-so’s biological clock is ticking; he’s just got to die soon—somewhere in Africa.” Only a hundred years ago, there was still room for explorers to push the boundaries of the uncharted: the…
