By Kenneth Craycraft, Catholic World Report - On the one hand, Colorado’s hostility toward free speech and religious liberty is alarming. On the other hand, ironically, Colorado has served up softballs to the United States Supreme Court, resulting in strengthening protections for speech and religious exercise. Where Colorado has attempted to infringe religious liberty, SCOTUS has used the state’s bigoted laws to strengthen and clarify First Amendment protections. The latest battle in the war will be heard by SCOTUS next term, and it will probably be another defeat for Colorado’s religious hostility and another win for religious freedom.

By Steven Tucker, European Conservative - Some incredibly depressing footage went viral across the UK this month, taken in the countryside around the village of Lower Darwen, near the northern town of Blackburn. Here could be observed a remarkably stupid young man who, when confronted by a small wall blocking his path towards a nearby hill, decided the best way to proceed would not be to walk towards the gate, nor even to climb over the feeble obstacle, but instead to stand there laboriously demolishing it with his bare hands, stone by heavy stone, until there was a hole large enough for him to slink through.

By Anne Hendershott, First Things - What (Peter) Thiel adds is a warning of a technological dimension that Girard anticipated but did not systematically explore before his death in 2015. In his lectures, Thiel turns to the Book of Daniel’s prophecy on the end times, interpreting it through the lens of technological and global acceleration—a world propelled by scientific innovation yet paralyzed by fear of its own inventions. He warns of “danger in the one-world state of the Antichrist.”

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Jesus is the Good Shepherd and Prince of Peace who guides us through the narrow gate to heaven. He sends shepherds to protect us from wolves threatening our faith, leading us to “life in abundance.” The shepherd’s first duty is to safeguard and feed the flock... God appoints the Pope as His chief shepherd on earth. He is the Vicar of Christ, the successor of Peter. As Christ’s “vicar,” his authority is not his own. He is Christ’s emissary. The pope carries the weighty responsibility of guiding the faithful to the saving truths of Jesus. He guards the Deposit of Faith—the teachings of Christ handed down in the Church since apostolic times.
