On Epiphany and going on pilgrimage in the same place

January 6, 2023 Sean Fitzpatrick 4

As the first Christian pilgrimage, the Epiphany sounds the call to renew the pilgrim heart in all Catholics. And for many, that will mean preparing for the epiphanies—the apocalypses, the revelations—that can come suddenly to […]

Analysis

Certain images from the consistory in Rome speak volumes

August 28, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 19

One ought always to be wary of “world-in-a-nutshell” images, which only with vanishing rarity show what they purport (or are purported) to show. That’s why I didn’t make much of the images from Saturday’s consistory, […]

The Best of Christmas Poetry: A Festive Garland of Verse

December 23, 2019 Joseph Pearce 2

If I were to package together all my favourite Christmas poems, wrapping them up for my friends and placing them under the tree, which would I choose? Having asked myself this question, I set about […]

On the Purpose of Islam: A review of Raymond Ibrahim’s “Sword and Scimitar”

October 24, 2018 James V. Schall, S.J. 10

“Unlike most military histories—which no matter how fascinating are ultimately academic—this [book] offers correctives; it sets the much discussed historical record between these two civilizations straight and, in so doing, demonstrates once and for all […]

Ireland and the Pagan Resurgence

June 1, 2018 Russell E. Saltzman 31

What we see in Ireland and throughout the West is Belloc’s pagan life “without Christian revelation” and Ratzinger’s “Church of pagans who call themselves Christian”. […]

Without Christian witness and culture, the West cannot resist Islam

August 10, 2017 Peter M.J. Stravinskas 26
