America on Trial

An often effective defense of the Founding that is uneven and flawed

July 3, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 7

In America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding, Robert Reilly brings a gargantuan array of material into manageable scope, and marshals it—effectively, in the main—to offer a defense of the American Founding “and show […]

Letter from Rome, May 9, 2020: A city out of sorts

May 9, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 2

The thing about Rome in late springtime is, it’s just about perfect. It is the world’s garden, if you will: bathed in the light of a Sun that has yet to saturate the earth with […]

Letter from Rome, April 21, 2020: The Romans are getting restless

April 21, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 0

It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote last. I’m sorry about that. There was Holy Week and then there was Easter – the whole week of the Octave is generally pretty slow around […]

Letter from Rome, March 15, 2020: Things will likely get worse before they get better

March 15, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 12

I’m not going to sugar coat it for you. I’m not even going to try. It’s tough going here in Rome right now. Romans are banding together, it’s true: practicing civility as a matter of […]

Letter from Rome, March 8, 2020: Closures, confusion, synod on synodality

March 8, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 2

Letter from Rome, February 29, 2020: Worldliness and The Eternal City

February 29, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 2

February 22, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 16

Letter from Rome, February 17, 2020: Broken trains, burning buses

February 17, 2020 Christopher R. Altieri 2

I was in London for business on Tuesday of this week, and the trains were not running. Not all of them were not running, mind. Just the ones on the line from Stansted to Liverpool […]
