The Dispatch

The implicit faith of “Follow the science”

January 4, 2021 David G. Bonagura, Jr. 12

“Follow the science” ranks high on 2020’s long list of patronizing phrases. If we yield obsequiously to scientific data, we are told, coronavirus, climate change, and all our other problems will be solved. “Science will […]

The Dispatch

Giving a damn (about work, life, and faith)

November 23, 2020 Father Jerry J. Pokorsky 4

Remove modern cultural sentimental accretions from the Catholic faith, and a muscular Church Militant emerges from the Catholic tradition. We are in an epic, life-long battle for the salvation of souls. Hence, military metaphors are […]

Society of Catholic Scientists conference to focus on what it means to be human

May 28, 2019 Stephen Barr 5

There is a widespread impression that science and faith don’t go together. Recent studies, in fact, have shown that this is the most common reason given by young people who abandon their faith. The idea, […]

The return to reason requires hard work, rigorous thought—and faith

November 24, 2017 Thomas M. Doran 2

Today, we are deluged with information, voices, images, and pitches. It’s not a matter of tuning out, but one of fine tuning our minds to […]

There is a serpent, and not just in Essex

September 24, 2017 Dr. Kelly Scott Franklin 3
