The Era Of Presuming Liberal Moral Superiority Is Over, by Mark Hemingway

By Mark Hemingway, The Federalist - Regardless, it’s pretty clear that after decades of failing liberal institutions and identity politics that actively discriminated against whole classes of people, kids are not wrong to intuit they are, uh, surrounded by a cultural and political order that they don’t like and can’t be justified. Maybe they can’t always articulate their perceived problems as well as they should — and to the extent they’re not as articulate as they should be, you can chalk up the state of public education as another massive L for progressives who overwhelmingly control our schools

Bishop Joseph Strickland: Addressing Concerns About Statements Regarding the Conclave

By Bishop Joseph Strickland, Bishop Emeritus, Substack - Silence in the face of grave error is a sin. Pope St. Felix III said, “Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it.” And St. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, famously exhorted Pope Gregory XI to be courageous: “Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues! I see that the world is rotten because of silence.”... Due to the nature of today’s crisis, bishops have a grave duty to warn the faithful. Many Catholics are confused, scandalized, and led astray. A bishop who speaks out, even at personal risk, is not being schismatic – but rather he is doing what countless saints and Church Fathers did before him. The real danger is in bishops who remain silent while souls are lost.
