    The politics of angels (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Independence Hall displays a quote from James Madison in Federalist 51: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” This assumption about the state – one shared by many Catholics – lies at the centre of the liberal project. It asserts the purpose of government is remedial and coercive, that it exists purely on account of our fallen nature. This idea is similar to one articulated by Thomas Hobbes, who believed that our life before society was “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short”

    Turning rebellious fervour into fidelity (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    1960s America was a hotbed of revolutionary sentiment. The sexual revolution, civil rights, Johnson’s Great Society: these were all movements that fundamentally changed what America is and what it values today. Those revolutions have achieved cultural dominance, and the principles they championed have gained the status of unquestionable orthodoxy. One of those unquestionable principles is that revolution is a good in and of itself, that it is necessarily a good thing to overthrow an old order an

    Millennials forgot how to grow up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In 2010, as more and more millennials left college and began striking out on their own, a meme phrase gained popularity: adulting. These new adults saw doing the basic responsibilities of an adult in the modern world as kind of a play act. They didn’t quite see themselves as adults. So doing things like eating healthily, cooking one’s own food, opening a bank account, applying for a mortgage, paying taxes – these things were novel and remarkable. And so people remarked on social media, as was th

    The limits of tolerance a quarter-century after 9/11 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I am not old enough to remember 9/11. What I do remember is everything that came after: the strict and insistent ethos that Americans could not blame Muslims at large for the attack. It was hammered into me as a child that Islam was not to blame for 9/11. Still, 25 years following the attack, that backwards fear persists. Many Americans today believe that after 9/11 there was a general air of “Islamophobia”. You can see it in television shows and in Democratic talking points. However, in the imm

    Pro-family politics requires prudence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It seems every month or so, some slick-talking politician, in a thinly veiled bid for a 2028 presidential nomination, releases a grand plan for some kind of family-focused policy, whether that’s universal childcare, mandatory paid maternity leave or some other kind of new public welfare project that promises to enable the family to survive the dual-income household that has become a necessity in the past couple of decades. Catholics of both stripes, Left and Right, tend to naively applaud such p
