No, It’s Not “Super Intelligence” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Moses encountered the Lord God in the burning bush, he was told to go to the people of Israel to tell them that God heard their cry. Moses, understandably, did not think himself worthy of such a consequential task. So he asked to justify his mission by calling on the authority of the Lord: Moses wanted to know the Lord’s name, because, like all ancients, he knew a person’s name reflected the essence of that person; it pointed to the underlying reality of who God was. Names, in other words,
Even Saints are Products of their Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
News flash: Saints can be wrong sometimes. Now, don’t panic. There’s nothing impious in realizing this reality. After all, what makes saints exceptional is they continuously strove to overcome their human weaknesses and errors in their quest for sanctity. But, with the exception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this process was never completed in this life: even after years of living a life of holiness, a saint might still make errors. For example, practically every saint prior to the 16th century ac
Vance or Rubio? It Doesn’t Matter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A debate is brewing within the Republican Party regarding the 2028 Presidential nominee. Should it be Vice President J.D. Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio?

Heck, I’m even one of the few people who didn’t think Tenet was awful. In an era in which most movies result in forgettable moments, Nolan films have lasting impact. But I won’t be watching Nolan’s most recent movie, The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and apparently every other star in Hollywood. Why? Because of two casting dec
The “Canonical Mess” Excuse Doesn’t Fly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thanks for the email. I respect Fr. Murray and of course you as well, but I’ve also talked to canonists who believe the Vatican documents are properly worded and clear. More importantly, however, I think this line of argumentation betrays an orientation contrary to a Catholic spirit. You argue that, because of what Fr. Murray calls a “canonical mess” produced by the Vatican documents, “The faithful are as free to approach [the SSPX] for Mass and Communion as they were prior to July 1st, without
