The Political Obligations of Catholics - Pew Forum on Religion & Public LifeAt a recent Pew Forum event, Archbishop Chaput spoke about the balance between religious beliefs and political priorities and took questions from journalists. Read more... The Politics of Meaninglessness - Michael A. CaseyMeaninglessness has always been understood to have social and political consequences. The compelling human need for some sort of transcendent and comprehensive meaning to give value to the life of the individual and to life in common is not something peculiarly modern. Read more... The Pope and Islam - George WeigelOver the 18 years I have known Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, I've formed some distinct impressions of the man. Read more... The Pope on 'Love in Truth' - Father Robert SiricoIn his much anticipated third encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Love in Truth), Pope Benedict XVI does not focus on specific systems of economics -- he is not attempting to shore up anyone's political agenda. Read more... The Pope Was Right - George WeigelIn a brilliant lecture at the University of Regensburg last week, Pope Benedict XVI made three crucial points that are now in danger of being lost in the polemics about his supposedly offensive comments about Islam. Read more... The porous line between Church and State - Father Raymond J. de Souza“Co-operation” between church and state? We needn’t even go that far. It would be a step forward to simply recognize that religious believers are as much citizens as are secularists. Read more... The Pro-Life Democrats – Fading, Fading, Gone - Hadley ArkesStupak may be the last one standing. What is even sadder at this moment – and illuminating – is that Stupak himself seems bewildered to the point of what we used to call punch-drunk. Read more... The Question of Good and Evil - Charles ColsonThis past weekend, an historian remarked that the twentieth century in America will be divided into two eras. The first half of the century will have been defined by Franklin Roosevelt and the second half by Ronald Reagan. Read more... The Reagan Moral Vision - Rev. Robert A. SiricoThe passing of President Ronald Reagan into eternity is evoking an array of emotions and thoughts. People recall his winsome and shining character, his classic American optimism. That is in sharp contrast to what his critics always assailed as his intellectual shallowness. Read more... The Realism of the Incarnation, and Our Present Circumstances - George WeigelThe Gospel reading for the vigil Mass of Christmas Eve is the genealogy of Jesus according to Matthew: a terror to priests and deacons with poor Hebrew pronunciation and a bore to most congregants. Read more... The Religious Heritage of American Democracy - JOSEPH F. COSTANZOAlthough there is a secularistic stream in the nation's history, it is not the only American tradition. Read more... The religious war against all of us - Father Raymond J. de Souza“We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint,” Steve Centanni said. Read more... The Roberts Opinion - George WeigelA "deeper meaning"? Read more... The Secularism of the West - Richard John NeuhausWe have all heard it said that the war on terrorism pits liberal democracy against religious fanaticism. There is a measure of truth in that. Others say the conflict is between a secular understanding of society and a society defined by religiously based morality. That, I suggest, is both untrue and dangerous. Read more... The Secularization of the Supreme Court - James HitchcockAmerican courts are taking a steadily more suspicious attitude toward religious interests, and the trend is likely to continue unless Catholics and their allies take a keen interest in future judicial appointments. Read more... The Ten Commandments Controversy - Michael NovakOn August 27 of this year, under the direction of U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson, a small monument (not even four feet high) of the Ten Commandments was removed from the back end of the towering rotunda in the Alabama state courthouse.

REILLYThe American Constitution embodies, and is only comprehensible, in light of Christian and (pre-modern) natural law assumptions. Read more... The Tyrant - Father James V. Schall, S.J.The tyrant is always among the most important figures to understand. Read more... The Virtue of Leadership - DONALD DEMARCOA leadership vacuum exists in our culture. Most people who have thought seriously about the matter agree. Moreover, this is not a matter for mere casual observation, but one that elicits a strong sense of deprivation. We need leaders; and they are as cherished as they are rare. Read more... The Vocation of Christians in American Public Life - Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.Precisely fifty years after the memorable speech that John F. Kennedy gave to the Protestant pastors of Houston in order to convince them and the entire nation that as a Catholic he could be a good president, the archbishop of Denver, Charles J. Chaput, has returned to the scene of the crime, in Houston, for a Baptist conference on the role of Christians in public life. Read more... The War Against Jihadism - George WeigelWhy can't we call the enemy by its name? Read more...
