C.S. Lewis in a Secular Core: Sex, Love, and That Hideous Strength

By
For C.S. Lewis, the body and the erotic procreative relationship between men and women are not mere nature, to be manipulated and embellished. They are not mere matter, to be shaped in any way that we please. They are, rather, an indicator of a larger order, something that offers us a clue to that larger order and that has to be understood in the light of it.

Don’t Blame the Founders for Our Civic Disintegration

By

Rob Rieman, Joseph Pieper, and the Existential Poverty of the West

By
Joseph Pieper knows what Rob Riemen has forgotten: the existential poverty of the West cannot be evaded or solved through humanism, for no ersatz god gives meaning to our poetry, song, dance, and drama. Absent God, it is all vapor, lacking the goodness to which we respond in wonder, delight, joy, and feasting.

Women’s Hidden Influence: Mothers, Race, and the American Republic

By
Women are deeply effective in the transmission of mores, as are the churches, schools, and civic organizations that they serve and lead. If these institutions were touched by white supremacy even into the 1970s, how can those educated by such institutions escape the influence of these opinions in their own interpretations of contemporary racial politics?

Forcing Pro-Life Pregnancy Care Centers to Advertise for Abortion is Unjust and Unconstitutional

By

A Tragic Abandonment of Identity: The Secularization of America’s Religious Colleges and Universities

By
Today’s religious colleges and universities face a choice between two opposing worldviews: the traditional, spiritually embedded worldview upon which they were founded, or the secular, hedonistic, materialistic worldview that dominates them today.

Sex Change: Physically Impossible, Psychosocially Unhelpful, and Philosophically Misguided

By
Modern medicine can’t reassign sex physically, and attempting to do so doesn’t produce good outcomes psychosocially. Here is the evidence.

The Vatican Cannot Ignore China’s Religious Persecution and Human Rights Abuses
