On being alone in the presence of another

September 24, 2024 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 3

Pope John Paul II often gratefully spoke of an “ecumenical gift exchange.” In that spirit, the rector of my Anglican boyhood parish, knowing of my interests in both psychology and theology, gave me books by […]

The Dispatch

Surveying the often tense relationship between Christianity and psychoanalysis

February 3, 2024 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 13

In 2018, I took a sabbatical to write a book (about Christianity after Freud) that I had been carrying around in my head since the 1990s when, about to graduate from high-school, I could not […]

The Dispatch

“Nothing unworthy of God’s majesty”: In praise of Fr. Roman Galadza (1943-2023)

August 3, 2023 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 27

My maternal grandfather of blessed memory taught me something more than forty years ago: we who are so quick to criticize our leaders, he said, should be equally if not more quick to praise them […]

Opinion: The links between cannabis and psychosis can no longer be ignored

November 9, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 19

Jared Staudt’s recent essay “Consuming true medicine: Why Catholics should oppose legalizing marijuana” suggested that the use of certain intoxicants—in this case cannabis—does not typically help users grapple with reality; instead, it enables them to […]

Opinion: From “synodality” to “congregationalism” and back again

May 17, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 13

I agree with everything Larry Chapp says in his recent pieces on the problems of “synodality.” But, perhaps very slightly more hopeful than he is, I want to make some suggestions overlooked by many in […]

The Dispatch

Iconography and healing the eyes of the heart

March 8, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 4

What does it mean to see God? Are there special places to look, or particular ways to adjust our vision so that we might overcome our blind-spots about God—or much else? I spent the fall […]

The Dispatch

Opinion: Addressing Russian delusions about past, present, and future

February 27, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 8

In June 2016, I attended a private conference at the University of Vienna that brought together Russian Orthodox and Ukrainian Greco-Catholic scholars and hierarchs with the goal of finding a common narrative of events in […]

The Dispatch

How much are you worth? On the extravagant, inefficient love of God

February 18, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 1

I like to joke that I’m 50% Scottish, but 100% cheap—yet only in certain areas. Cheese is not one of them. When I had occasion some years back to be in Indianapolis regularly, I always […]

The Dispatch

In praise of duty and dishwashing

February 7, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 10

How many of us expect to mark seventy years on the job? How many of us would like to spend seven decades in the same job? Even if we find much of our work interesting, […]

Opinion: What is sexual abuse in the Church?

February 4, 2022 Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille 42

Casey Chalk unintentionally took me back to the 1990s with his recent assertion that, “When it comes to sexual abuse allegations, no other organization is held to the same standard of scrutiny as that of […]
