One of the most astonishing aspects of the Incarnation mystery is that Christ, while being “God from God, Light from Light,” can withal be spoken of as a human being among human beings. In studying Jesus’ personality, background, concerns, and interests, we touch divinity itself, and learn something of divinity’s plan for humanity as expressed […]
I’ve written many times that what the media routinely calls “culture wars” are inevitably just normal people’s reactions to the latest cultural putsch being shoved on us by the left. “Cultural warriors” is the name given to anyone to the right of Mao who garners attention for refusing to go along with the left’s program.

Infinitude is an appealing concept to many, not mathematically, […]
The film “Maestro” is certainly well made—there is striking imagery throughout, in both black-and-white and color—and well-acted, with Bradley Cooper (who also directed) carrying off a spot-on impersonation of Leonard Bernstein. But at its core is an emptiness that no mere artifice can fill. Writers for the movies, I have found, don’t seem to know […]
Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick fired back when she was criticized for attending Turning Point USA’s America Fest in Phoenix earlier this month. Patrick posted pictures and videos on Instagram from the annual event, which she attended with her sister. Turning Point USA is a non-profit that promotes conservative viewpoints on college campuses and beyond. […]
