Do the British understand what kind of culture they had, or what they want? Fighting for a mere absence isn’t enough to sustain for long. Modern Western nation-states are inherently weak to invasion because of their self-loathing posture.
I went on The Catholic Current with Fr. McTeigue, S.J. to discuss nationalism, a two-tiered justice system, and the riots in England. What can Americans learn from both the causes and the effects?
It's easier to focus on battles afar because they demand less from us, precisely because they don't affect us in a tangible way. Our communities—where we live—that's another matter.
The Olympics began this year with the mocking of Christ and quickly moved into watching men punch women in the face. The two are probably related.
Careless Masses such as this are not a unique experience—sadly, it's not even rare. It's become a too-common reality wherein the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is reduced to a kumbaya session in which the consecration is treated as getting in the way of the “important” things that people want to do. This essay may be read freely at Crisis Magazine.
As a result of the closed communities that once made up our reality, people were forced to deal with one another, even when it was difficult. Nowadays, avoidance is much easier, and new options like “ghosting” allow us to hide from uncomfortable exchanges. But, is this better for us and society itself?
The near assassination of President Trump was in many ways the culmination of an environment of near-constant lies, omissions, and manipulation by a media circus intent on preventing people from being informed. Don’t allow rhetoric against radicalization to be used to silence the only remaining honest sources of news.
I went on The Catholic Current yesterday to talk about what the role should be between the Faith and the government. Should we aim for a full “separation,” as is common among atheists and Christians alike in the modern age? If not, what would an alternative look like? It was a really enjoyable conversation on one of my favorite topics: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/32054272
A giant inflatable IUD has been traveling the United States as a monument to contraception. It says so much about our culture that it could be promoted as a net good, or worse, as a “right”. Read the essay at Homefront Crusade.
I interviewed Daisy Strongin, who took hormones as a teenager in an attempt to transition to a male, and later had surgery, before eventually turning away from all of it, converting to the Faith, and having a family of her own. It’s a fascinating and beautiful story. (Watch on Youtube, if preferred: https://youtu.be/d4HJ2sBB6GE)
Our society is so sick that it pathologizes quirkiness, eccentricity, and giftedness, treating them as illnesses that ought to be fixed by the embrace of deviancy. Both individuals and society as a whole lose as a result. Read it at Homefront Crusade.
I appeared on The Catholic Current yesterday to talk about the attempts to keep Christianity out of schools, even while Pride is forced into them, whether we can have Christian values without the Faith, and other ways our society is crumbling.
A parasitic atheism is taking root, promising what it can never deliver. Richard Dawkins, once a fierce critic of Christianity, now sounds like a modern Republican, supporting ‘values’ without religiosity or Savior. Can a culture be built without either? Read the essay at Homefront Crusade.
In England earlier this year, Sam Melia, a member of the activist group Patriotic Alternative, was found guilty of the nebulous crime of, “inciting racial hatred”. He wasn’t alleged to be a threat to anyone, but his ideology itself was the real problem, established using a combination of private and public messages. Modern privacy intrusions combined with totalitarian thought crime laws are combining to create a dystopian nightmare. Read at Homefront Crusade.
Some thoughts I have about the changes that came about in the early part of the 20th Century, and an announcement about the newly released audiobook. Listen to the book: https://crusadergal.com/audiobooks/
When Perry Hendricks sent his philosophical essay to the academic journal, The New Bioethics, he wasn't expecting much attention, for he had published there before. Yet after a Twitter firestorm, the journal rejected the piece because he was a white male who therefore couldn’t speak about such a topic. Read the article: Homefront Crusade
A hermit has just announced that she is actually transgender, and has been pretending to be a man. Stranger still, the “hermit” has a pretty public side job, and hunted for a woke bishop. Read the article at: Homefront Crusade
An NFL player’s speech in defense of family, marriage, stay-at-home mothers, and faith has triggered outrage and calls for his resignation. The secular world isn’t used to hearing from people who live the faith. The only real problem is that messages like his are too rare. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
Even Tinker Bell has now been canceled, because she has an “unrealistic figure”. It’s easy to be dismissive about such changes and consider them trivial, but there’s a concerted effort to change the heroes that children look up to. It’s part of a wider plan to destroy our culture. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
Hilary Cass, the researcher whose work resulted in the rolling-back of gender transitions for British children, is being forced to live in hiding. The combination of leftist agitators and a lack of lawful self-defense mediums prevents other would-be whistleblowers from speaking out. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
I moved into a new home over the weekend, and to assert that it has been difficult to work during the process would be a gross understatement. While full of many blessings, moving is extraordinarily taxing on one's time (and resources). Nevertheless, it triggered some reflections on what one’s home means.
The Department of Education just changed Title IX to mandate that “gender identity” be considered part of sex. This catastrophic decision will affect girls’ access to bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports going forward. (Watch at https://youtu.be/zQhv4sge2eg)
Two incidents this week in NC public schools paint a picture of an environment that is set up to prevent students from thinking and acting in moral ways, favoring an irrational rule structure instead. This kind of ‘formation’ is antithetical to the creation and maintenance of a moral populace. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
So many parishes teach an indifferentism that fails to prepare the faithful for what they will see in the world, which produces ‘Catholics’ like Joe Biden. But most congregations do need to be confronted about the sins that the rest of the world celebrates. Read the article at Crisis Magazine.
When the Biden Administration announced Easter Sunday 2024 as the Transgender Visibility Day, there was more going on than a mere leftist nod. There is an active war being waged to replace the religion that has always been intrinsic to America’s fabric. Read the article at Homefront Crusade
We have had an unusual week in which many in the alleged conservative media attempted to rewrite the phrase “Christ is King” to be an antisemitic slur, right as Easter beckons and we ought to be proclaiming such with one voice. Let us assert what, and who, is Truth as we enter the Triduum. Read the article and more at Homefront Crusade.
I joined Fr. McTeigue to discuss mischief within corporate medicine and purveyors of “The Science”. Are we right to have lost confidence in much of the medical industry? What does our “faith in science” say about our culture as a whole?
New signage at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Britain warns viewers about how pictures of the English countryside might lead to nationalism, which is the “darker side” of landscape imagery. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
RuPaul is an infamous drag queen and he opened an online bookstore that was “open to all stories,” hence the name. It didn't last long. Only three days after launch, the bookstore began banning books. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
I had a great time joining Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J. for a conversation about the state of the culture and the Church. We discussed everything from the recent desecration at St. Patrick’s Cathedral to the reduced vocabulary of modern man and its ramifications. Enjoy!
Is it bigoted to charge late fees at the public library? Some people think so, so late fees are coming to an end, all for the sake of equity. Yet without an incentive to return the books, can libraries exist at all?
As DEI and transgender ideology spread through our institutions, we ought to ask why such a small minority is being allowed to dominate our discourse and culture. I summarize the factors as cowardice, groundless morality, and isolation.
CPAC, supposedly a conference promoting conservatism, is instead involved in heralding the LGBT propaganda that is ripping our society apart. Groundless and without any understanding of what they are conserving, they are ever-drifting leftward. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6LD1Xv9jlKc
When the cellular networks went down, amid the moment of confusion, did you feel a slight sense of peace that your phone would be quieter today? You’re not alone. This isn’t the way that we’re supposed to live. Read at Homefront Crusade.
An iconic church was deceived into accepting the funeral of a transgender activist, at which time the event became a mix between a pride parade and an act of desecration. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
Our collective vocabulary is smaller than it used to be. That's clear to anyone who reads old books, regardless of genre. As a result, we’re losing more than most people think. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
The physician-assisted suicide program in Canada has hit a snag when it comes to killing the mentally ill. They’re struggling to find psychiatrists who are willing to go along with it. You can also watch the video on YouTube.
In the suffocation of grief, when we search for memories and light amongst what seems far too dim and isolated, we might find those who have passed on to be beacons to our home. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
As the fight between Texas and the U.S. government continues, we might consider the reality that Texas’ choice is far more in favor of American citizens nationally than that of the Biden Administration. Read at: Homefront Crusade.
It's been three years since the protest at the Capitol on January 6th, and now is the first time that some of the prosecutions are on shaky ground. The release of those who were aggressively charged for peacefully walking through a building will be a first step toward correcting an obvious miscarriage of justice. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
A professor at the University of Wisconsin was fired for producing online pornography, in a win for decency. Most people now seem to misunderstand what a university is and what it is for, believing that education can be divorced from morality. Read at Homefront Crusade.
In contemporary discussions about violent crimes, it has become the norm to disregard the rights of the victims in favor of seeking a utopian vision that cannot be accomplished. A recent stabbing in England serves to exemplify the problem. Read the article: The Unrealized Cost of Disarmament
St. Thomas Becket was murdered by knights who cut him down in his cathedral, killing him between the altar and the bishop’s chair. In our time of so much capitulation, it is almost alien to us to hear of people who would give their lives so willingly. It’s a conviction that we must return to. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
As we approach Christmas and the end of the year, I wish to thank all of you for joining me on this venture—not just for reading and sharing these articles (though I do appreciate that), but for your efforts to join in the cause for the good. Merry Christmas. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
Michael Cassidy recently took part in the pious act of beheading a satanic altar in a state capital. In response, some self-proclaimed Christians condemned his decision, thus showing an allegiance to something else entirely. You can read this article at Homefront Crusade.
I made an appearance on Mike Church's show, wherein we discussed surrogacy, especially that by homosexual men, which has become alarmingly common.
The Army Research Office has sent $5 million to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to “evaluate and defend against emerging cognitive threats”. One might be forgiven for wondering what a ‘cognitive threat' is exactly. It’s you. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
I am joined by Austin Ruse to talk about the permeation of the conservative movement with public homosexuals, and what effect that has on our efficacy. Can we argue on moral issues at the same time as embracing sexual degeneracy? You can also watch the YouTube video.
What it means to be a conservative is becoming neutered over time. Too many are far from defenders of traditional values. In the latest example of this, a homosexual who is frequently acclaimed as a conservative used a surrogate to buy a child with his faux husband. Watch this as a video: https://youtu.be/0MsThhMk7MM
I appeared on The Virtuous Life this week on Annunciation Radio. Pat and I talked about my recent article in Crisis Magazine, “Broken Homes Need Church Fathers”. We discussed how single-parent homes become inter-generational, along with the effects of individualism and utilitarianism on families.
A COVID-19 inquiry in Scotland has revealed that disabled people in the country were secretly given do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. There is a problem when our society heralds an industry that has entirely divorced itself from objective morality. Read the article at Homefront Crusade.
