The making of the university (opens the original)
Read excerpt
William Whyte’s new chronicle of the university as an institution cleverly interprets the long history of these places of learning through the physical materials that led to, influenced or grew from its development: straw, stone, flesh, blood, silk, paper, iron and concrete. It is true that the university is effectively a European invention but it has been widely taken up, reinvented and grafted on to native roots on every inhabited continent. Whyte accordingly sets his sights broadly. He moves
Fulton Sheen and America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today's beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen is above all a recognition of his holiness.

Not even the equally deadening hands of Anglican Protestantism and mass tourism have managed to quell the meaning this place has and which endures today across the centuries. That which endures was the cornerstone of the wo

Read excerpt
On his recent visit to Ireland, President Trump said he would “love” to see Irish reunification, that it was “going to happen eventually” and so it “may as well happen now”. With his charmingly idiosyncratic turn of phrase, the American head of state pointed out that, when you look at a map, putting north and south together was “one of the naturals of all time”. Let’s be honest: this is the kind of boilerplate, inoffensive chat you will hear in New York bars, where the reunification of Ireland a
