  • 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.

  • Audience with participants in the Meeting organized by the National Transplant Centre

    March 26, 2026 - 9:04am
    This morning, in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Leo XIV received in audience the participants in the Meeting organized by the National Transplant Centre, to whom he delivered the following address:

     

    Address of the Holy Father

    In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Peace be with you!

    Your Excellency, Dear Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, and thank you for your patience!

    I am pleased to receive you on the occasion of the General Assembly of the National Transplant Network, and I thank the Pontifical Academy for Life for its work in this important field. Your presence here bears witness to the commitment of so many healthcare workers, professionals and volunteers who, with skill and dedication, serve human life in its moments of greatest fragility.

    You are commemorating an important anniversary: indeed, seventy years ago the first Italian donation took place, when Blessed Don Carlo Gnocchi asked for his corneas to be removed after his death and transplanted into two very young patients cared for by his charity, enabling them to see again. That gesture, made in a context still lacking comprehensive legislation, sparked widespread reflection within Italian society and helped to set in motion a process of legislative clarification.

    Just a few weeks after Don Gnocchi’s gesture, Pope Pius XII offered some initial moral guidance on these issues, recognizing the legitimacy of removal for therapeutic purposes, respecting the dignity of the human body and the rights of the people involved. [1] From the very beginning, then, the Church’s reflection has accompanied the development of transplantation medicine, recognizing its value and at the same time setting out the necessary ethical criteria.

    Since then, a prolific development of scientific research and human dedication has led the Italian Transplant Network to achieve results of great significance, recognized at international level. Behind these results lies a wealth of expertise and also a culture of responsibility and trust that needs to be safeguarded and upheld.

    Saint John Paul II, in the Encyclical Evangelium vitae , recalled that among the acts that foster the culture of life, “a particularly praiseworthy example … is the donation of organs, performed in an ethically acceptable manner” (no. 86). Indeed, it is an act that combines the generosity of giving with the moral responsibility that accompanies it. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, in turn, that “organ donation after death is a noble and meritorious act and is to be encouraged as an expression of generous solidarity” (no. 2296), at the same time recalling the need for consent and respect for the dignity of the person. Vigilance is always necessary to avoid any form of commodification of the human body and ensure that transplants are governed by fair and transparent criteria. [2]

    Transplantation medicine reminds us that the relationship of care, trust and mutual responsibility constitutes an essential condition for a transplant to take place. The very possibility of saving lives through transplants depends, in fact, on the generosity of donors. [3]

    Pope Francis has emphasized that donation is not limited to its social utility, however important that may be, but is an expression of universal fraternity. He also reiterated that it must remain a gratuitous act, capable of bearing witness to a culture of help, giving, hope and life. [4] This is a reminder that is more valuable than ever at a time when there is a risk of assessing everything according to the logic of price, efficiency or self-interest.

    I, too, take this opportunity to encourage scientific research, which continues to open up important prospects for transplant medicine. It is called upon to develop ever more effective solutions to meet the need for organs and the needs of patients, in a context where demand still far exceeds supply. It is essential that this commitment always goes hand in hand with responsible reflection, so that scientific progress remains oriented towards the integral good of the person and respect for their dignity.

    I wish to express my gratitude to all of you. Your work is demanding and often unseen, requiring skill and rigour and, at the same time, conscientiousness, balance and a keen sense of humanity. It involves clinical responsibilities, delicate decisions and relationships that touch people’s lives at their most difficult moments. Continue to carry it out with faithfulness and dedication, always keeping the well-being of the patient as your guiding principle.

    Finally, I encourage institutions and the voluntary sector to continue their work of providing information and raising awareness, so that a culture of donation may grow that is ever more informed, free and shared, capable of recognizing in this gesture a sign of solidarity, fraternity and hope.

    I wish you every success in your efforts as an association, and I invoke the Lord’s blessing upon you and your loved ones.

    Thank you.

    [Blessing]

    Thank you once again, and all the best in your work!
