  • 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” for the month of June

    June 2, 2026 - 9:11am
    The following is the text of the Video Message “Pray with the Pope”, with the prayer intention for the month of June, distributed via the Pray with the Pope initiative of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, on the theme For the values of sport. Let us pray that sport may be an instrument of peace, encounter and dialogue between cultures and peoples, and may promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

     

    Video Message

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

    Lord of life,

    we thank you for the gift of sport,

    for those who glorify God through the exercise of their bodies,

    for the friendships born on the field

    and the joy of playing as a team.

    You teach us that in life, as in the game,

    no one is saved alone.

    We need others to grow,

    to learn respect, to overcome our limits,

    and to celebrate together the victories we achieve.

    We ask that sport may always be

    a school of fraternity, not of empty rivalry,

    a space of encounter, not exclusion,

    a path of peace, not violence.

    May those who play, train or cheer

    discover in sport a universal language

    that brings cultures together, unites peoples,

    and sows respect, solidarity and personal growth.

    Lord Jesus,

    may every sport become a parable of life lived with you,

    working with joy and effort,

    living with humility in defeat

    and with gratitude in the victory you offer in your Resurrection.

    May your Spirit never be lacking in us,

    making us one team, united with you

    to build communion and fraternity in history.

    Amen.

  • Chirograph of the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIV for the establishment of the “Fratello Sole” Foundation

    June 2, 2026 - 5:32am
    By the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu Proprio “Fratello Sole”, dated 21 June 2024, my venerable predecessor Pope Francis, having considered that “There is a need to make a transition to a sustainable development model …”, entrusted to the President of the Governorate of Vatican City State and to the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See “the task of constructing an agrivoltaic plant located within the extraterritorial zone of Santa Maria di Galeria that will guarantee, not only the power supply of the radio station there, but also the complete energy sustenance of Vatican City State”. In order to carry out this task by the same Motu Proprio the President of the Governorate of Vatican City State and the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See were appointed “Extraordinary Commissioners with full capacity to carry out the necessary acts of ordinary and extraordinary administration”.

    Taking into account the aforementioned Motu Proprio and the subsequent agreement signed with the Italian authorities on 31 July 2025, which came into force on 27 May 2026, I believe it is necessary to act promptly to give tangible expression to this commitment; to this end, I am establishing the “Fratello Sole” Foundation.

    The Foundation represents a sign of hope for the future and an example of how it is possible to reconcile energy production and agriculture while respecting and protecting the environment, in accordance with the principles of environmental sustainability and care for our common home contained in the Encyclical Laudato si’ , the Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum , the Motu Proprio “Fratello Sole” and, more generally, in the social Magisterium of the Church.

    The Foundation has its registered office in the Vatican City State and operates fully within the extraterritorial area of Santa Maria di Galeria. I hereby establish that this body shall be governed by its own Statutes, which I simultaneously approve and which are hereby promulgated. For the first three-year period, I appoint the President of the Governorate of Vatican City State and the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See as President and Vice-President respectively, conferring upon the two aforementioned individuals the powers provided for in the Statutes.

    From the Vatican, on 1 June 2026, the second year of my Pontificate.

    LEO PP. XIV

  • Press Release of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development: Title of the Message for World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation

    June 2, 2026 - 5:20am
    “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks” (Is 2:4).

    The Holy Father’s Message for the upcoming World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, which is traditionally celebrated on 1 September, highlights the connection between armed conflict and environmental degradation. Such degradation constitutes both a serious violation of our duty to care for creation, as well as a long-term threat to the lives of hundreds of millions of people. The now widespread awareness of the impact of war on natural resources has not led to the creation of adequate institutions or to responsible decisions aimed at preventing conflicts and resolving disputes peacefully. The title — a passage in which Isaiah prophesies the transformation of weapons into agricultural tools — is an explicit invitation to prioritize development and sustainability over violence and destruction.
