Everyone should have the right to a culture. That means a unique and authentic way of expressing oneself inside a place and community. Unfortunately, this right has long been denied. This denial is especially evident in the world of fashion. Gone are the days when dress reflected a vibrant perception of oneself that found expression [...]
We need to respect time and its Author. Indeed, one of God’s first acts in Creation was establishing the parameters of time. When Congress votes to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, we put ourselves at the center of things. The issue is time. Daylight Saving Time. Congress is again attempting to make it permanent. If [...]
Any counsel to the stand out class of 2026 is rather simple: In the face of the wickedness of the times, stop, reflect and question. Have recourse to God and the Blessed Mother. One cannot be outstanding without grace, which makes up for shortcomings and leads to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth [...]
Enthusiastic supporters of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are particularly impressed by the amount of knowledge that AI apps seem to have. They are convinced that the apps know everything. All one has to do is ask them, and the AI bots will produce a huge amount of information on any subject within seconds. Such results are deemed accurate [...]
AI must not be allowed to supplant the powers of the soul, which are the intellect, will, and sentiments. AI bots must not displace our human sentiments, affections, and loves. All these things define our humanity and were given to us by God to help us know, love, and serve Him. The promoters of Artificial [...]
The time spent in silence and contemplation fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world, and, above all, the sublime things in Creation. Indeed, religion is born from this leisure. But in an AI world, such activities are deemed useless. For a long time, I have struggled with how to deal with AI. [...]
The determined move to abolish the hereditary lords is part of a process of self-destruction. The lords are part of the mythical bulwark that sustains England. When the current session of the British Parliament ends this spring, the nation will abruptly bring to a close a 700-year institution. On March 10, the House of Commons [...]
Looking back, I think there were three reasons why I left social media. Maybe my testimony can help someone who contemplates the plunge. I can say that it was well worth it. With the publication of my book, Return to Order: From a Frenzied Economy to Organic Christian Society—Where We’ve Been, How We Got Here [...]
A profound Christian influence in small things still lingers despite these brutal and atheistic times. Those who defend tradition must fight tooth and nail to defend what is still Christian in the present culture, wherever it is found—even in fonts. As the Culture War rages, no field is exempt from its reach. Much has been [...]
The leftist man fears the Christian ideal of manhood. He trembles in the face of its purity. He is terrified by its chivalry. He is afraid of its manly prayer. He even fears its compassion. Far from the meek caricature of the Nietzsche world, with the help of supernatural grace, the virtuous Christian man can [...]
There are signs that some conservatives, "Roman" and "barbarian" alike, are questioning certain liberal premises and expressing a desire for a grand return to grace and God, to fill the vacuum created by a world without beauty and truth. During the long decline of the Roman Empire, the Roman legions defended the borders against the [...]
We are not threatened by the socialism that does not work according to Western standards. We are threatened when socialism works, radiating its egalitarian and gray presence everywhere. The victory of socialist candidates in recent elections has highlighted the renewed appeal of the Marxist system. Some now see socialism as the wave of the future. [...]
In the present polarized climate, there is a constant battle between two ever-more irreconcilable sides. I think this is a good trend since the two parties do not live the fiction of getting along when the points of division are so great. I applaud any effort that results in moral clarity. It clears the air [...]
It makes no sense to reward someone who frustrates the purposes of literature with a major prize. Imagine literary works with plots in dystopian settings where the characters act within an unraveling social order. Apocalyptic events abound inside absurd situations. This is the literature of Laszlo Krasznakorkai. There is more. Imagine an unreadable and drawn-out [...]
