Essay

Prayer and politics in a culture dominated by narratives of autolatry

November 3, 2021 Casey Chalk 6

A friend who works for one of the Forbes’ “Fifty Best Employers” recently told me about the organization’s LGBTQ+ alliance, which now pushes its government-sanctioned messaging on the workforce through regular emails. One newsletter explained […]

You will be contradicted: The Christological challenge of Karol Wojtyla

August 26, 2021 Casey Chalk 7

One of the greatest threats to the Christian life is not necessarily the alluring temptations that entice us or the unexpected disasters that shake us, but the slow, almost imperceptible erosion of our appreciation for […]

The Dispatch

Catholic options at traditionally Protestant colleges and universities

July 12, 2021 Casey Chalk 16

More than ten years ago, when I was still a Protestant, I attended a small, conservative Presbyterian church that met in a fire station in my native Northern Virginia. When Sunday evening services were finished, […]

“I am the man, Thomas, I am the man…”

April 3, 2021 Casey Chalk 3

I am the man, Thomas, I am the man; Look at these nail scars here in my hands. Jesus didn’t utter those words, as far as we know, during his post-Resurrection encounter with St. Thomas […]

The Dispatch

An end to the war between evolution and Christian theology?

January 21, 2021 Casey Chalk 15

Strange things were demanded of many young Evangelicals in the twentieth century. Perhaps topping the list were the exhortations to question, criticize, and even ridicule evolutionary science, which, we were told, represented a direct assault […]

The Dispatch

Overcoming America’s profound confusion about freedom

December 10, 2020 Casey Chalk 31

The Left, Republicans warned in this year’s election, hate liberty. “They want to steal your liberty, your freedom,” declared prominent former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle during an August 24th speech at the Republican National […]

The Dispatch

A classic work on the commonsense of noncontradiction and finality

November 30, 2020 Casey Chalk 8

I recently started looking into nihilism… but then I realised it was pointless. For some, that joke is enough to expose the absurdity and illogic of a philosophy that holds that there is no meaning […]

The Dispatch

Pope Peter defends the papacy while explaining its role and limits

November 4, 2020 Casey Chalk 5

You have to wait until the very last paragraph of Joe Heschmeyer’s new book Pope Peter: Defending the Church’s Most Distinctive Doctrine in a Time of Crisis to get his opinion of our current pope […]
