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

Pope Francis “takes aim” in “Gaudete et Exsultate”—and misses?

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

Editorial

November 3, 2017 Carl E. Olson 79

Editorial

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

October 11, 2017 Carl E. Olson 23

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 […]

Editorial

Is Cardinal Pell “the quintessential scape-goat”? [Updated]

July 6, 2017 Carl E. Olson 49

I’m not an expert—not even close—on Australian politics or Catholicism Down Under, but over the past few years I’ve carried on correspondence with a number of Catholics in Australia. And these folks, all of them […]

Editorial
