Democrats are in dire straits—a circus without a ringmaster, juggling chainsaws blindfolded. Their party has no clear leader, no consistent message, and no vision that unites both its restless base and its fractured coalition. Could James Talarico, a young Texas lawmaker with a preacher’s cadence and a teacher’s patience, be the answer to their prayers—or…
There is a stereotype of people losing their faith while attending a secular college. They may be ruined by the pleasures of the world, bullied by atheistic professors, or simply lose their faith as they grow in “wisdom” after being freed from their parents’ brainwashing. As a state university graduate, I can confirm the atmosphere…
I’ve long been an occasional visitor to the Traditional Latin Mass. Although it’s a form of the Mass that I have grown to love, the drive to the TLM was much longer than the drive to my local parish, which itself leans more traditional than the typical Novus Ordo parish. So, I would only make…
Every year, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7, falls within the same week as Columbus Day, celebrated on the second Monday in October. Together, these feasts make up one big festival because of the intimate relation between the events that they celebrate. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is…

Parts I and II set the rule of measure: Vincent of Lérins and Newman distinguish profectus (growth) from permutatio (change of kind); Tra le Sollecitudini and Mediator Dei articulate ideals and guardrails; and Spain/Philippines supply the historical laboratory where prudent pastoral…
I have a little bit of murderer in me. I have a little bit of perversion in me. I have a little bit of a sadist in me as well. I know I am not alone in this. I do not believe that these parts of me are genetic. I am not a Natural Born…
Did you miss it? I almost did. It’s not even a feast day the Church actively celebrates as part of the liturgical calendar. I’m talking, of course, about the feast day of St. Joseph of Cupertino, which technically is on September 18, though, per the USCCB website, it is simply listed as the “Thursday of…
Photo credit: Our Lady of Victories Church, Manila. John Henry Newman embraced the Vincentian Canon as a clear standard against doctrinal innovations.
