The Miraculous Medal Is Ireland’s Hope, and Ours...
Carrie Gress
A story out of Ireland two months ago got little attention here across the pond, but it offers a rare ray of hope in the culture war. As The Guardian explained, back in March, on the International Day of Women, the Irish voted on a proposed referendum that would have changed language in the constitution, redefining the family...

‘Wildcat’ lacks O’Connor’s oddness, but brims with passion...
Deacon Steven Greydanus
Ethan Hawke’s Wildcat opens, very nearly, with a familiar scenario: a dispiriting encounter between a young artist with an exacting creative vision and a conventional corporate gatekeeper with a checklist approach to what sells. The scene depicts a real-life exchange between 24-year-old Mary Flannery O’Connor (played by Maya Hawke, the director’s daughter) and her editor at Holt Rinehart regarding her unfinished novel Wise Blood...

No, the Resurrection is not a wonderful symbol of hope...
David Mills
Last Epiphany, my wife and I had our annual debate over whether to take down the Christmas tree. She has a weird dislike of finding pine needles on the floor. I don’t understand it. She invokes the tradition of Christmas lasting through Epiphany. I argue that grace overflows the traditional rules, and that keeping up the Christmas tree beautifully symbolizes that truth...

If 2+2=4, Then God Exists...
Christopher Kaczor
Aristotle, Anselm, Aquinas, Liebniz, and William Lane Craig provide famous reasons to believe that God exists. Less well known is a way proposed by the African intellectual Augustine. In his fantastic book Five Proofs of the Existence of God, Edward Feser explains this argument at length. Inspired by Augustine, let’s begin with the reality that 2+2=4.

On the Paradoxical Connection Between Love, Law and Joy...
Msgr. Charles Pope
In the Sunday Gospel, Jesus cuts right through the modern Western tendency to place love in opposition with law, and law in opposition with joy. Jesus joins all three concepts and summons us to a new attitude. Note how the Lord joins the three concepts of love, law, and joy. This is precisely the opposite of what Western culture does. The best that Western culture will admit of law is that it is a necessary evil...

This Sunday, On the Way to the Cross, Jesus Shared ‘God’s Innermost Secret’...
Tom Hoopes
On the night before he died, Jesus was thinking about our joy, not his pain — and he shared a secret that we only now may be ready to understand. The Church has been looking back on that night for weeks now, because what Jesus said in his Farewell Discourse on Holy Thursday reveals the deepest meaning of what he wants us to do now, on the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year B.

Why does God try to kill Moses in Exodus 4?
Clement Harrold
Chapter 4 of the Book of Exodus contains one of the strangest passages in all of Sacred Scripture. Verses 18-26 describe how Moses, living in exile in the land of Midian, goes to his father-in-law Jethro to request permission to return to his own people back in Egypt. Jethro consents, and so Moses sets off together with his wife, Zipporah, and their sons.
