The Crisis of Decorum in Dress, by Amanda Farnum

By Amanda Farnum, Crisis Magazine - We have a crisis of decorum in dress in our country. Gone are the days when people took pride in their appearance and dressed well for all occasions.

Advent, A.D. 2025, by Francis X. Maier

By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing - On the Church calendar, Catholics mark today, December 3, as the Feast Day of St. Francis Xavier. Born in 1506 of a noble Basque family, he came to maturity in the turbulent early years of the Reformation. Francis studied at the University of Paris and was originally resistant to, even sarcastic toward, a religious vocation. It didn’t last.

Francis went on to be co-founder of the Society of Jesus and one of the original seven Jesuits.
