2020: Socialist America or Trump’s America? by Patrick J. Buchanan

By Patrick J. Buchanan - Yet, as of today, the unannounced front-runner Joe Biden, who is taking fire from many quarters, appears to be the last man standing between Sanders Socialism and the Democratic nomination... Should Joe falter and fall, Trump would be the nation’s last line of defense against the coming of a Socialist America. For never-Trump conservatives, the day of reckoning may be just ahead.

Send Forth Your Spirit and They Shall Be Created, by John Grondelski

By John Grondelski, EWTN News - Think back to the creation of the world, as presented in Genesis 1. “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,” the primary element was … water. It’s a wet world. We know today that water seems to be the prerequisite to life… Only two days after God creates this watery universe does He create “the dry land.”

In Search of Young People, by Robert Royal

By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing - Some years ago, my pastor talked me into teaching “Catholic Morals” to high-school sophomores. I can’t say that I look back to those three years with, uh, pleasure. Or satisfaction. Some of my students are still Catholic; others lapsed. The whole experience left me with profound appreciation for anyone who knows how to work with and really reach young people with the Good News in a dying culture like our post-truth West.

Beauty and Providence, by James Patrick Reid

By James Patrick Reid, The Catholic Thing - Yet sin has made a mess of things. Often the goodness of creation seems hidden or marred; or it shines through only occasionally, offering fleeting glimpses. The world is not, in general, “picture perfect.” One of the functions of art is to provide loci to which we can turn to experience the shining through of goodness, of beauty, whether the locus be a symphony, a poem, a painting, or some other work.
