By Anthony Esolen, Crisis Magazine - The newly appointed archbishop of Washington, D.C. sadly shares the assumption prevalent among liberal theological and exegetes, that the Scripture contains, as Hans Kung put it, a lot of "trash."... The newly appointed archbishop of Washington, D.C., Robert McElroy, says that the Church has learned more about human sexuality since the days of St. Paul and that, armed with this knowledge, we can now interpret Paul’s strictures against homosexual behavior as applying only to its abusive forms in ritual prostitution and pederasty but not to people who are committed to loving one another till death should part them.

By Jon Bishop, Catholic Exchange - The consensus seems to be that today’s students are less capable than in the past. On the surface, this appears to be true. Rose Horowitch, in a deeply reported piece for The Atlantic, discussed how college students at elite institutions are no longer prepared to read books.

By Dr. Larry Chapp, Catholic World Report - Allow me to quote its opening paragraphs at length to reestablish the point at hand: One of the things I have learned in my 65 years of being a Catholic is that the unquestioned meaning of the term “Church reform” in the post Vatican II era is that it is almost exclusively viewed as a cognate for “liberalization”. Why this is so and how it came to be this way is a story too complex to rehearse here.
