As America braces for tonight’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, it might be advisable for Catholics to set the stage for themselves according to some hard facts—or rather, according to the truth, a reality Catholics must cling to as it becomes less of a priority to our politicians. Shockingly, there’s news flying…
Last week, Tucker Carlson broke the internet—again. This time, he did so by interviewing the popular historian podcaster Darryl Cooper (aka Martyr Made) who made some controversial assertions about World War II—namely, that Winston Churchill was a warmonger who instigated the war, authorized inhumane attacks on civilians, and ignored Hitler’s many peace proposals. This set…
Last week on the Crisis Point podcast Kevin Wells and I were discussing the response of the bishops to Covid back in 2020. Both of us felt that the fact that every single American bishops shut down the public celebration of the Mass for over a month is something the Church has yet to recover…
We are always asking the question, “What went wrong with the Church?” There is an answer too rarely considered: we abandoned hatred of the world. Hatred of the world? Likely, we have heard the phrase before. It reminds us of a musty, bygone moment when nuns thrashed their students with rulers and glum pewsitters put…
Since high school, I’ve been a fan of folk dancing, often known as contra dancing or English country dancing. These are usually group dances where multiple sets of couples interact with each other, sometimes even trading partners. At times, as in the “Gay Gordons” dance, there is a shuffling move that means that every man…
On this 16th Sunday after Pentecost according to the calendar of the Vetus Ordo we go with the Lord into what is obviously a trap. In Luke 14 Christ goes to the house of a leader of the Pharisees for a Sabbath meal. Many were present including other Pharisees and nomikoi, experts in the Law,…
In August 1938, as the world teetered on the brink of a second World War, only twenty years after the ending of the previous global conflagration, a group of economists met in Paris to discuss how to address the economic and political crisis of the time. The Walter Lippman Colloquium was named after the famous…
The first thing to know is that Kamala is both stupid and evil. She can barely cackle out a coherent thought. Her mind is a confused jumble of platitudes and tics. What’s more, hardly anyone likes her. She could scarcely keep a staff together as Vice President. As for evil, she favors abortion through all…
The presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been unique in modern American history in a number of ways. For one, he has campaigned on issues that most politicians don’t touch, including our nation’s health and nutrition, his primary focus. While many pundits highlight his controversial stance on vaccines, his own emphasis has been…
In recent years, I have been surprised to find that progressive modernists, hyper-papalist conservatives, and sedevacantists support similar positions when it comes to interpreting the teachings of the Pastor Aeternus constitution (1870) concerning the infallibility of the Pope. Of course, their reasons are different. And yet, they support the interpretation that, besides being infallible… Source…
