George Orwell’s enduring explanation of the neopagan temptation

December 15, 2025 Jerry Salyer 8

Thanks partly to the obvious insanity of the left, especially under the Biden administration, what I once called the “Antichrist Right” back in 2010 has become surprisingly mainstream. Young people—especially young men—are far more open to […]

Augustine of Hippo: A Saint for the 21st century

August 28, 2025 Jerry Salyer 25

January 8, 2025 Jerry Salyer 6

Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., observes in Christ, Science, and Reason that the refutation of those who have denied Jesus’ existence as a historical person may be summed up in a single word: Tacitus. This first-century […]

November 6, 2024 Jerry Salyer 3

August 18, 2024 Jerry Salyer 12

Wisdom from a prime minister of China who became a Benedictine monk

June 24, 2024 Jerry Salyer 3

“The ordinance of heaven is termed the natural law; the principle which directs us to conform our actions to the natural law is called the rule of moral conduct; or the right path; the organized […]
