Rootedness & Refugees

What many globalist idealists cannot accept is that it is in man’s nature to love more strongly according to proximity. There are bonds that run deeply within the human heart and mind and are the center of community and cultures.

Cervantes and Empire

Miguel de Cervantes presents us with the mirrored vices of savagery and civilization. Like Tacitus, he celebrates indigenous prerogative to resist foreign excess, even as he asserts the imperial principle.

Rediscovering Awe: Antoine Brumel’s “Earthquake Mass”

More than 500 years ago Antoine Brumel wrote a 12-part Mass that allows us to experience the uninhibited spirituality of the pre-Reformation world of the early 16th century. Its construction from a tiny motif of Gregorian chant from the Easter Lauds is nothing less than awe-inspiring.

The Nine Worthies and the Present Age

What the nine worthies provided was a thematically unified account, a sweeping narrative, from Homer through the Bible and into Christendom, which western Europeans could use to understand and in some wise enshrine the canon of their history. The question we may venture to ask, in whose answer we might come to understand our era and its place, is whether it is possible to discern modernity’s worthies.

Every Tear has been Wiped Away: The True Meaning of the Cross

That is what the world is desperately yearning for, which is why people still flock to their churches to kneel down and kiss the Cross on Good Friday. Most may not fully understand why they are there, but they know that Christ did not give his life so that we would remain the same. He gave his life so that, having crucified the old self, the burden of bondage would be lifted forever.

Celtic Conservatism

When discouraged by events in the here and now, we should remember that “not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time.”

Moral Supremacy: A New Assault on Life Itself

Recent abortion laws allow the moral supremacist to drive a dagger through the very notion that our rights, including the right to life, are given to us by God. Separating personhood—a legislative definition—from life has given government full jurisdiction over our rights.

Maria Goretti: A Supreme Teacher on Human Flourishing

I have dedicated much of my life to studying the great philosophers and scholars of our civilisation, but from none have I learned as much about true human flourishing as I have from the peasant girl of Nettuno.

Spain with a Spine

The politically successful VOX is such a new beast that its full story is yet to be written, particularly in English. Thus, any attempt to understand it is a welcome contribution.

The Seductiveness of Ideology in Politics

Not all the ideas that public intellectuals have are valuable. Far from it. For ideas to have value they must be based upon and capable of being tested by experience. Too often, they are not.
