A few years before Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring came out, I read the whole trilogy for the first time. Many striking aphorisms stuck with me afterwards, among them “Not all who wander are lost.” Of course, the release of the films resulted in an enormous wave of interest in…
Thanks to Kevin T. DiCamillo for his recent Crisis article titled “Looking for a New Parish—and Crossing Some Off the List.” I suspect his search for a decent parish resonates with many of us who have been similarly disappointed.

Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? These are questions no rational…
Global Homo may be a new term for you. Tucker Carlson used it the other night about our strike against Nicolás Maduro. You rather instantly knew what it meant, though—gunboat diplomacy bringing homosexual marriage to Caracas.
