The Opposite of Evil

The Opposite of Evil

In retracing our steps back from the postmodern precipice, we should remember that evil is not the opposite of good, but its parasite. God’s truth may be highlighted by evil’s un-truth, but never rivalled.

Inside a Modern-Day Heresy Trial

Inside a Modern-Day Heresy Trial

It was exactly one year ago, on a cold, dark winter evening in January 2022, when Paul Coleman arrived in Helsinki for the modern-day heresy trial of Finnish MP Dr. Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola.

Whither the King?

Whither the King?

The King has chosen to be called Charles. Let us look at his predecessors, in hopes of finding some indication of where His Majesty might wish to go.

The EU is Not Europe, Part I: <br>A United Europe—An American Project

The EU is Not Europe, Part I:
A United Europe—An American Project

The U.S.A. was determined to unite Europe militarily, politically, and economically for its own purposes, and the Cold War provided much of the pretext.

The Spy Who Found His Conscience

The Spy Who Found His Conscience

Authors Le Carré and Koestler saw through the moral justifications of 20th-century communism. They understood that tallying up lives saved and lost is a bad way to do business, particularly when the “lives saved” column is skewed by those in power.

Overcoming the Problem of Race: <br>A Reflection on the <em>Towards the Common Good Conference</em>

Overcoming the Problem of Race:
A Reflection on the Towards the Common Good Conference

One thing that was painfully missing was the kind of ‘common good conservatism’ that takes seriously the public nature of the moral law, which may have helped to bring to the conversation about race some lasting solutions.

Hermes is the Midwife to Dionysus

Hermes is the Midwife to Dionysus

Let us seek to banish Hermes and his associates back towards the margins where they rightly belong before the maenads one day end up coming for us all.

“Ukraine is Not Russia”: What I Saw on the Ground

“Ukraine is Not Russia”: What I Saw on the Ground

The international politics of this conflict are messy and complex, but from a nationalist—indeed, from a merely human—perspective, it is impossible not to admire Ukrainians for their courage, their tenacity, and their very survival.

Sunflowers and Silos: Reconciling with the Natural World

Sunflowers and Silos: Reconciling with the Natural World

The environmentalist’s claim that man is nature’s enemy undermines any reason to steward it in the first place. To care for something, one must love it; one must feel that it belongs to them and them to it.

The New Latin Conservatism

The New Latin Conservatism

The Right must adapt its ideas, strategy, and discourse to the current political ‘dialectics,’ and not remain anchored to—or trapped by—approaches that are far from the concerns of citizens today.

The Bolivar Legacy
Part II: Debt and Regret

We may trace the beginning of Latin American poverty and economic subordination to Bolivar’s policy of garnering support by indebting his embryonic state.

The Origin of the Magi in Artistic Representation

The Origin of the Magi in Artistic Representation

The Three Kings represent the truth-seekers of the earth, the rulers of the ‘pagan’ realm, the lands which had not yet seen God but were nonetheless expecting the coming of the Lord.

Whereby Hangs the Tale, Marcel Proust?

Whereby Hangs the Tale, Marcel Proust?

It’s obvious Proust knew a great deal about art and architecture and music; he was a keen observer of human behavior, but he can take a moment and turn it into an eternity.

Rival Theories of Multipolarity:
Alexander Dugin and Jiang Shigong

Russia and China conceive of the emerging multipolar world in different ways despite their substantial convergence in opposition to Western unipolarity.

Europe’s Last Civilised Mind: A Personal Reflection on Pope Benedict XVI

Europe’s Last Civilised Mind: A Personal Reflection on Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict’s expansive mind formed me in the humane habits of awareness that harmonise the intellect and the affectivity of the heart with the culture and civilisation that is our proper inheritance.

Béla Bangha: A Jesuit on the Crossroads of Catholicism and Racism

Béla Bangha: A Jesuit on the Crossroads of Catholicism and Racism

Why was Bangha remembered by the Jewish press as an ‘enemy of racism’ if his papers were full of anti-Semitism in the early 1920s? The answer seems to lie in his understanding of the role of Catholicism in public life.

Jesus Is an End, Not a Means

Jesus Is an End, Not a Means

The modern mind, which reduces everything to a means—a mere apparatus of use—subordinates even God to such a perverse conception of reality.

#MeToo and the Reclamation of Feminine Dignity

#MeToo and the Reclamation of Feminine Dignity

The issue of sexual degradation, around which #MeToo centers, has stirred something in the modern woman’s heart and compelled her to come face-to-face with the simple reality that she is the prisoner of a culture obsessed with unbounded sexual freedom.

Constitutional Thomism: A Modest Proposal

Constitutional Thomism: A Modest Proposal

The democratic statesman must subordinate his own interests to the good of his fellow citizens and foster the temporal political common good, which is not separated from the common good in the fullest sense: God.

God Wants To Be Sought

God Wants To Be Sought

We possess a blindness that impedes our ability to see ourselves as God sees us. To break through this dilemma, we must faithfully seek out what lies just beyond our vista.

The Four Layers of Christmas

The Four Layers of Christmas

Let’s avoid being too Christmassy until the Eve itself. But then, let our joy break out for the twelve days, and keep them as well as we can—enjoying whatever observances proper to them we can attend, through the Epiphany.

German Self-Assertion and a New Consensus

German Self-Assertion and a New Consensus

The most important distinction now runs between globalists and protectionists. The continuing reference to the old Left to Right coordinate system hinders us in our search for a middle ground between the local and the global.

When Middle Earth Came to Vienna

When Middle Earth Came to Vienna

The renewed obsession with the minutiae of Tolkien’s work gives me an excuse to revisit my favorite bit of Tolkien trivia: that the Polish king’s great victory was the inspiration for Tolkien’s Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Transhumanist Prophecies of Doom: Infertility, Plastic, and Aliens

Against the transhumanist prophecy of plastic genderlessness, let us recover our own ideal for a future populated by the same righteous exemplars as the best of our past.

Tragedy and the Cross: The Role of Suffering in Michael D. O’Brien’s Novels

Tragedy and the Cross: The Role of Suffering in Michael D. O’Brien’s Novels

From O’Brien’s perspective, Christian civilization and the Church are failing in critical ways, inducing a sense of collective kenosis, and the temptation to social despair. The raw pain of collective suffering puts supernatural hope to the test.

May the Sacré Coeur Forever Watch Over Paris

May the Sacré Coeur Forever Watch Over Paris

Left-wing memory tinkerers hate the Sacré Coeur because they believe it was built over the corpses of the revolutionaries killed during the Commune. The Sacré Cœur became for them the symbol of oppression.

The Person Behind the Golden Bull

The Person Behind the Golden Bull

The Golden Bull was fundamental to Hungary’s constitutional system and a guarantee of the nation’s sovereignty. On its 800th anniversary, we should commemorate the patriotic statesman, Cletus, bishop of Eger, who gave Hungarians such a noble gift.
