  • Ralph Lauren, American Patriot

    January 21, 2025 - 5:00am

    On January 4 , President Joe Biden honored nineteen individuals with the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor. While one could argue that some were less deserving of the award than others, I believe that one honoree deserved it without question: Ralph Lauren, a living embodiment of the American dream who in turn made America his muse. His designs pay homage to the cowboy, the soldier, the Ivy Leaguer. For Lauren, no aspect of the American character isn’t worth celebrating—a welcome contrast to the self-loathing that usually pervades the upper echelons of society.

  • Begging Your Pardon

    January 20, 2025 - 5:00am

    Who attempts to overthrow a government without weapons? Why would the alleged leader of an insurrection authorize military force to protect the government, and why would the alleged insurrection victims countermand that authorization? How do people who listen to speeches about democratic procedures and election integrity in one location transform into enemies of the Constitution after walking a mile and a half to the east? Who believes that interrupting a vote would overturn a government? If there was an attempted insurrection, why would a notoriously creative and aggressive prosecutor fail to find any basis for filing insurrection charges?

  • To Hell With Notre Dame?

    January 20, 2025 - 5:00am

    I first visited the University of Notre Dame du Lac (to use its proper inflated style) in 2017 as a guest of some friends in the law school. By then I had already hated the place for more or less my entire life. For me, Notre Dame was synonymous with the Roman Catholic Church as I had known her in childhood: dated folk art aesthetics (has anyone ever written about how ugly the buildings are?), the Breaking Bread missalette, the so-called “Celtic” Alleluia, the thought (though not the actual writings) of Fr. Richard McBrien, jolly fat Knights of Columbus in their blue satin jackets, avuncular permanent deacons named Tom, Pat, or, occasionally, Dave. At the age of twenty-seven, I expected to find preserved something of the religious atmosphere of the middle years of John Paul II’s papacy: the quiet half-acknowledged sense of desperation, the all-pervading horror of unbelief that could never be allowed formally to take shape among the grandchildren of European immigrants who had done well for themselves in the professions—perhaps too well.

  • The Mercurial Bob Dylan

    January 17, 2025 - 5:00am

    There’s a version of Bob Dylan for everyone: small-town boy from Duluth, Minnesota; scrappy folk troubadour of Greenwich Village; electric rock poet who defied expectations at Newport; introspective born-again Christian; Nobel Laureate. As any journalist who has interviewed him will attest, Dylan is an enigma. Capturing the whole man is harder than making a bead of mercury sit still in one’s palm.

  • The Theology of Music

    January 17, 2025 - 5:00am

    É lisabeth-Paule Labat (1897–1975) was an accomplished pianist and composer when she entered the abbey of Saint-Michel de Kergonan in her early twenties. She devoted her later years to writing theology and an “Essay on the Mystery of Music,” published a decade ago as The Song That I Am , translated by Erik Varden . It’s a brilliant and beautiful essay, but what sets it apart from most explorations of music is its deeply theological character.

  • Video Message “Pray with the Pope”

    The following is the text of the video with the Holy Father’s prayer intention for the month of March, disseminated via the “Pray with the Pope” campaign, an initiative of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, on the theme For disarmament and peace :

     

    Video Message of the Holy Father

    MARCH: For disarmament and peace

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amén.

    Lord of Life,

    you shaped every human being in your image and likeness.

    We believe you created us for communion, not for war,

    for fraternity, not for destruction.

    You who greeted your disciples saying, “Peace be with you,”

    grant us the gift of your peace

    and the strength to make it a reality in history.

    Today we lift up our prayer for peace in the world,

    asking that nations renounce weapons

    and choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy.

    Disarm our hearts of hatred, resentment, and indifference,

    so we may become instruments of reconciliation.

    Help us understand that true security

    does not come from control fueled by fear,

    but from trust, justice, and solidarity among peoples.

    Lord, enlighten the leaders of the nations,

    so they may have the courage to abandon projects of death,

    halt the arms race,

    and place the lives of the most vulnerable at the center.

    May the nuclear threat never again dictate the future of humanity.

    Holy Spirit,

    make us faithful and creative builders of daily peace:

    in our hearts, our families,

    our communities, and our cities.

    May every kind word, every gesture of reconciliation,

    and every choice for dialogue be seeds of a new world.

    Amen.
