Director Volker Schlondorff Talks About 'The Ninth Day' - Steven D. Greydanus

Volker Schlondorff was so intrigued by the real-life story of a Catholic priest forced by his Nazi captors to make a life and death choice, he had to film it. ‘I have a hard time,’ says the Jesuit-educated filmmaker, ‘making any decision whatsoever.’  Email This Article

Don Arrigo Beccari: A Safe Haven In Villa Emma - Catholic Educator's Resource Center

It was a long train ride from Yugoslavia to Italy. No one knew what to expect. The children were good actors and hid their fear in silence. They were Jewish child refugees from Germany, Austria, and Poland whose parents had been deported to Nazi concentration camps. Josef Ithai, the young teacher who looked after them, shared their fear.  Email This Article

Edith Sitwell: Modernity and Tradition - Joseph Pearce

Edith Sitwell was a shock-trooper of the poetic avant garde, a champion of modernity who revelled in the use of shock tactics to push the boundaries of poetry, angering traditionalists in the process. Perhaps, therefore, she would seem an unlikely convert to the creed and traditions of the Catholic Church. Yet, like her friend, “the ultra-modern novelist” Evelyn Waugh, she would come to realize that the liberating power of orthodoxy could transfuse tradition with the dynamism of truth.  Email This Article

Escape from Nihilism - J. Budziszewski

Twenty years ago I stood in the Government Department of the University of Texas to give a talk. I was fresh out of graduate school, and it was my here's-why-you-should-hire-me lecture. I wanted to teach about ethics and politics, so as academic job seekers do everywhere, I was showing the faculty my stuff.  Email This Article

Esther’s Guarded Condition - Anthony Esolen

As his days were racing to an early end, my father had to discuss with his doctors all the “choices” available for treatment.  Email This Article

Evelyn Waugh: Ultramodern to Ultramontane - Joseph Pearce

Evelyn Waugh’s conversion to the Catholic faith in 1930 was greeted with astonishment by the literary world and caused a sensation in the media. It seemed incomprehensible that an author notorious for his “almost passionate adherence to the ultramodern” could have joined the Catholic Church. Part of the reason for the extensive interest in Waugh’s conversion, was the growing awareness that his reception into the Church was only the latest of a long and lengthening list of literary converts to the Catholic faith.  Email This Article

Every Mother's Son: Confessions of a Marian Prodigal - Scott Hahn

For all my newfound piety, I was still fifteen years old, and all too conscious of “cool.” Just months before, I’d left behind several years of juvenile delinquency and accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. My parents, who were not particularly devout Presbyterians, noticed the change in me and heartily approved. If it took religion to keep me out of juvenile detention, so be it.  Email This Article
