Serious Catholicism For a Serious Election
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Archbishop Chaput is a pastor, first and foremost; his new book, Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life, is a pastor's book. It's informed by scholarship, and by the archbishop's extensive experience in wrestling with issues at the intersection of morality and public policy. At the same time it's a book for ordinary Catholics who want to be faithful to the Church and faithful to the first principles of justice in their civic lives.  [Read More]

Posted: Sunday, August 17, 2008
This Sunday, Archbishop Raymond Burke will celebrate a farewell Mass at the Cathedral Basilica. If past gatherings are any measure, Burke's admirers will swarm the church for a warm send-off.

Posted: Thursday, August 7, 2008

Converting England -- and Us
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
"English = Protestant" has been replaced by a new equation: "English = Multiculturally P.C." Evensong is still sung superbly in King's College chapel, Cambridge; but the psalms and canticles echo amidst the real absence. Bunyan's Pilgrim has come to an even deeper slough: not of despond, but of spiritual apathy and boredom.  [Read More]
