| Note from the Managing Editor |
Happy feast of St. Kateri Tekakwitha!
If you have found yourself a sudden homeschooler over the past year-and-however-long, check out Veritas Current Events, a current events curriculum for middle school and high school students.
I'm intrigued by their mission: to provide "the basis for a rigorous and thoroughly Christian look at major issues and events around the world."
They provide lesson plans, teachers' guides, and background information year round for students aged 13 to 18, and their pricing is extremely affordable.
From this week's articles, I particularly enjoyed Fr. Robert Spitzer's resounding interview. "The attack on the Church's teachings — every single one of them leads to these incredible increases in depression, anxiety, substance abuse, familial tensions, suicidal ideation, suicides themselves, homicides. And not only that, but it's also leading to a tremendous destabilizing of marriage, the undermining of marital satisfaction." See "Fighting Satan and escaping the darkness of evil Part 1" (Part 2 to come next week).
On a lighter note is Brad Miner's review of In the Heights. In the words of our esteemed Editor, this seems like just the kind of "can we get away from politics for a while" film we need to see.
You may know that my husband David and I are expecting our first child, a boy! The baby has a large cyst on his neck that could compromise his airway at birth, and our doctors have recommended a couple different procedures to ensure his safety. One is relatively simple and low risk, the other much more intense and high risk. We would be so grateful for your prayers for his health, and his and my safety during delivery.
In Christ. - Meaghen Gonzalez

| With God and With Men |
| Lord, before you became man and entered into your Passion, you invited your Mother to serve you as mother, to bear your sacrifice with you, but also to share with you your joys. |

| Sueñitos - Brad Miner |
| The Catholic Thing |
| The other day, Herself and I decided to beat the sweltering New York heat by going to see (in an air-conditioned theater!) a movie about New York over three days during an even greater heatwave — so hot, in fact, that the city loses power. |

| Background on Critical Race Theory and Critical Theory for Catholic Educators |
| The Cardinal Newman Society |
| Catholic education offers a truthful and morally sound framework for considering issues of race, human dignity, and social justice, yet cultural norms, historical developments, commonplace and novel assumptions, and associated passions all have some influence over Catholic education — sometimes for the good, but often distorting and even contradicting sound Catholic teaching. |
