We should be fueled by a smart and hopeful attitude. It is no coincidence that hope is one of the three theological virtues in Christian tradition. It teaches us that however difficult our circumstances are, we must never fall into despair.
At the EU level, environmental policies are mostly being continued as if there were no Russian invasion of Ukraine or large-scale energy crisis.
While it is correct that a recession is defined by two consecutive quarters of declining GDP, it is not correct that the American GDP declined two quarters in a row. Unfortunately, all the economists and analysts who made the recession call were wrong.
Universalism is forced to coexist with diversity and inclusion; one has to agree that patriarchy, aristocracy and capitalism were evil unless they are not white. But deeper divides force progressives to either keep their eyes shut or risk becoming the oppressors.
Out of caution not to be seen as inflicting “racist stereotypes” upon consumers or purveying material rife with “cultural appropriation,” German publisher Ravensburger anticipates canceling Winnetou as part of its future offerings.
24 February 2022 will be a dark date written in the annals of world history.
In June, we published the Statement of Principles. We hoped it would elicit discussion and debate. This letter is what we hope is the first in a series of commentaries on the topic. The signatories say, “In its list of ideals — ‘patriotism and courage, honor and loyalty, religion and wisdom, congregation and family, man and woman, the sabbath and the sacred, and reason and justice’—no mention was made of friendship, compassion, or love.”
If the U.S., or the UK, purport to keep wielding the holy swords of justice, they should do so with reasonable foresight in order that their actions do not end up making messy local realities even messier.
The Pope’s trip to Kazakhstan opens a window of opportunity to have the ear of a man whose influence on the Kremlin is unparalleled.
The purpose of the center-Right in Spain is to flank the Left’s agenda, but the regional elections in Castilla y Leon have revealed that its electorate is no longer willing to go along with this.
Protesting to assert our rights might give us a solution Achilles didn’t have when he contested Agamemnon’s authority. But we also lack something Achilles had—heroism—and so we find ourselves powerless.
“I am, under your criteria, considered to be anti-gender. Should I dis-activate myself, be eliminated from this hearing? I don’t think it seems to be very democratic in nature. Those who respect natural law are part of this society as well. We are pro-human dignity, pro-human beings, pro-human rights,” VOX MEP Margarita de la Pisa Carrión said at last week’s FEMM hearing.
The meeting between Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin made it clear that the West is no longer in the position to make demands to other world powers. The time has come to look inwards and protect our own values, rather than try to export them.
The consulting firm of the 21st century could well be the new face of the Soviet control commission—a machine with fixed codes and pre-formatted processes designed to mask facts and the banality of postmodern sovereignty.
Populism is a term often used to criticize conservatives. But when we take a closer look, those who use it don’t bother to define it. In fact, a closer look suggests that the term has no meaning of its own. All it means is—democracy.
Italy, it seems, has for some time abandoned politics and sanity and given full power to non-elected technocrats and politicians. Giorgia Meloni offers a way back to normalcy.
These attacks on the rights of the unborn child are not isolated initiatives. They are well thought out and coordinated. A survey by the European Centre for Law and Justice reveals the existence of a real pro-abortion lobby within the European institutions.
There is nothing dramatic per se about a new party in the Riksdag. What is unique about the new party Nyans emerging in the 2022 election cycle is that it springs from the Islamist environment in Sweden.
More than any other ideological current in the political landscape, libertarianism exhibits a phenomenal penchant for splinter-grouping. Today, they pitch a big tent shared by abortion advocates, drug legalizers, Rothbard-inspired anarcho-capitalists, and Ayn Rand objectivists.
I spent part of the Christmas Season in the American state where I spent most of my childhood: Vermont. Known
Whilst escape from the city for the sake of prayer and meditation is a recurring motif of Western literature, and one that plays an important role in the life of Jesus Christ, one of the great achievements of our civilisation has been that of sanctifying the city.
