Note from the Managing Editor:
"Silence is more important than any other human work." writes Robert Cardinal Sarah near the beginning of his new book, The Power of Silence. It's a book that rests beside me in my place for prayer and provides daily meditations on what is so vital in the life of a Christian — silence. You'll find a generous eleven page sampling of that remarkable book below. Archbishop Charles Chaput will not be loved for reaffirming a demanding Gospel Truth in "St. Paul and the normalizing of homosexuality." And Theodore Dalrymple is not comforted by the "creative appeasement" approach to Islamic terrorism. See "Terror and the Teddy Bear Society." - J. Fraser Field |

Editorials of Interest "The Lord Asks Us To Carry On" – On Pope's Jubilee, "Hope Is Without Walls" - Whispers in the Loggia
Twenty-five years ago, Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio lived in "exile," the enemies who consigned him to it resting comfortably in the thought that the polarizing Jesuit would never meaningfully resurface again.
