Wendell Berry and Not Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Several months ago, I finished the final draft of my new book, Not Just for Kings: Cultivating a 500-Year Vision for Your Family, parts of which have a definite Wendell Berry feel. I write about place and a strong sense of place here in Northern Fairfax County, Virginia. In Berry’s Hannah Coulter, the residents of Port William call themselves “the Membership.” For the same reason, I use the term Kith, an older term that hasn’t been degraded like the word “community.” You know, how everything is

Read excerpt
Monsignor Arthur Holquin is a retired priest of the Diocese of Orange, California, who has a very active Substack where he sometimes goes hell-for-leather against those he does not particularly like, Cardinal Burke and President Trump among them. In his latest column, he opens up about his mother and father, now deceased, and what he called his mother’s “long fast” from receiving the Holy Eucharist. The issue that kept her from receiving the Eucharist for 30 years is that her husband, Arthur’s f
