Editorial

The Pope fiddles, the bishops fumble, and the laity fume

November 14, 2018 Carl E. Olson 60

I haven’t written an editorial since late July, in part because of the heavy and unceasing flood of news—most of it bad and some of it terrible—within the Church. In my last editorial, posted on […]

Editorial

Without truth there is no trust, and without trust…

July 23, 2018 Carl E. Olson 70

This is not a time for silence, mediocrity, or fear for the laity or the bishops. The rot and corruption must be outed; the truth […]

Editorial

Reuters’ misrepresentation of Francis’ remarks on Trump will fuel further distrust

June 24, 2018 Carl E. Olson 32

We need essential media coverage that can be trusted, but it’s increasingly hard to trust mainstream media outlets to do such basic journalistic work. […]

Editorial

We have Met the problem—and it is ancient, secular, and us

May 9, 2018 Carl E. Olson 32

The Gala at the Met was a sad attempt to pretend, to think (or feel, more likely) that colorful celebration and rampant symbolism can capture […]

Editorial

April 9, 2018 Carl E. Olson 114

The many good qualities and substantive passages in Gaudete et Exsultate are often overshadowed, or even undermined, by straw men, dubious arguments, and cheap shots. […]

Editorial

Cardinal Marx promotes false news about blessings and “homosexual unions”

February 3, 2018 Carl E. Olson 53

Will Pope Francis correct the German Cardinal, who has stated that Catholic priests can conduct blessing ceremonies for homosexual couples and says “we have no […]

Editorial

Catholics aren’t obsessed with sex—they are obsessed with life

January 9, 2018 Carl E. Olson 30

There seems little doubt, at this point, that 2018 is going to witness yet another great clash over Paul VI’s encyclical—arguably the most contested and […]

Editorial

Why does Fr. Martin persist in embarrassing, sleight-of-substance tactics?

November 3, 2017 Carl E. Olson 79

The well-known Jesuit priest and author insists that Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy is a “dissenter”. That would be funny if it wasn’t so stupid. […]

Editorial

In gratitude for the gift of the “Catechism of the Catholic Church”

October 11, 2017 Carl E. Olson 22

How I learned that reading and studying the Catechism, Church doctrine and dogma, and theology are not ultimately about knowing things or facts but about knowing […]

Editorial

Transcendent truth, not leftist hypocrisy, needed to overcome racism and other evils

August 17, 2017 Carl E. Olson 43

The Left always seeks to claim and re-name the moral high ground, but has no objective foundations for its radical political project […]
