By Daniel B. Gallagher, The Catholic Thing - Surrounded by a culture of mounting political violence, we all must feel at least a modicum of anger. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t... Utah Governor Spencer Cox is to be commended for admitting it on Friday: “Over the last 48 hours, I have been as angry as I have ever been. . .and as anger pushed me to the brink, it was actually Charlie (Kirk)’s words that pulled me back. . . .Charlie said, ‘When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence.’”

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - The terms “conservative” and “liberal” are always somewhat misleading when applied to Catholic controversies. But in the absence of more accurate alternatives (which would require a fair amount of explanation), they provide a simple way to summarize the tensions that have beset that Catholic Church in the years since Vatican II. By 1995, when the Hitchcock essay appeared, the “conservative” Catholics—those devoted to the defense of Church doctrines and disciplines—had suffered through three decades of tumultuous change, while the “liberals”—those pressing for more dramatic change—were pressing their advantage.
