I will not recount here the tragic and senseless murder of Henry Nowak, nor the perfidious treatment accorded to him by the Southampton constabulary, nor, indeed, the repulsive cowardice of Starmer, Lammy, and company. I do not have to. What even a scant few years ago would have been relegated to samizdat is now international news. The self-destructive complacency clouding the hearts of the people…

At first, it was a revelation, a guy with a camera testing the limits of First Amendment activity at post offices and police stations. Sean Reyes, of “Long Island Audit,” would poke himself and his camera into parking lots and lobbies and simply film the property and every bit of what the all-seeing eye would spy. Inevitably, an officious bureaucrat would step forward to question and to stop…

Mr. Pasadena was lowered into the earth in the corner of the Maryland he loved, a hard old shot-and-beer town wedged between Annapolis, Baltimore, and one of the Chesapeake Bay’s least glamorous inlets. Bruce Springsteen built platinum albums off of towns like Pasadena. He could have cut a triple album off the back of Lawrence Wilbert Stephens Jr., 57, who was laid to rest Friday beneath a…

Currently, there exists a significant preoccupation with the theoretical and ideological movement known as postliberalism, which has gained prominence in various Christian neo-conservative circles. This movement is linked to figures such as former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, the latter who identifies himself as a postliberal. It has emerged as a…

Fr. Pagliarani, Superior General of the SSPX, recently issued a “Declaration of Faith” addressed to Pope Leo XIV. This declaration seems to express the Society’s understanding of the essentials of the Catholic Faith.

This November, Californians will be voting on the “2026 Billionaire Tax Act,” a new wealth tax that would essentially seize 5 percent of the accumulated wealth of the state’s billionaires. Unlike a tax on income, sales, or property, this tax would target the non-liquid assets where the ultra-wealthy keep their fortunes. Defending this new tax in an essay for The New York Times…

Despite the best efforts of government and mainstream media in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, the shameful and horrific death of Henry Nowak back in December is now more or less world news. The English town of Southampton, where he lived, has only now begun to enjoy the sort of mostly peaceful demonstration enjoyed across Europe and America in the wake of George Floyd’s death back in 2020.

From the days of the early Church, Catholicism has always emphasized stability as a means of holiness, particularly for monastics and the clergy. In the first chapter of the sixth-century Rule of St. Benedict, the holy father of Western monasticism warns of the danger of physical instability. He warns of a certain type of monk, those who are constantly uprooting and moving, “who spend their entire…

The enemies of the Lord have always had a special hatred for the Eucharist. The first thing that most of the tyrants of the 20th century did was to abolish the Mass—from the Communist takeover of Poland, to the Spanish Revolution, to the anti-clerical laws of Mexico in the 1920s. Pope Benedict had to make a rule that he would only distribute Holy Communion on the tongue because people would take…

Understandably frustrated by the social atomization and political distemper of our time, many Catholics are intrigued, if not enchanted, by the medieval era—and with good reason. For centuries, the Church dominated the West, saving souls and creating an incredible civilization. Monasteries and ecclesially-sponsored universities preserved and extended knowledge. Knights, guided by a pious sense of…
