		<description><![CDATA[The subject of the lines that follow is one about which I’ve written on this website before: the unmistakable and awful signs of a new barbarism rising from the ruins of what used to be Christian civilization. It is not entirely peripheral to our consideration of the subject to observe that one of the signs is that most Catholics today, including many traditional ones, seem &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/amid-barbarisms-din-less-music.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soon after the HHS contraception mandate was handed down, the prior of Saint Benedict Center, Brother Andre Marie, posted on this website some lines about there having arisen “a teaching moment,” an opportunity for the bishops of the country to explain why Church teaching is opposed to the “evil” (Brother’s word) of contraception. Brother was correct. Such a moment doubtless had arisen, and contraception is &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/missing-the-moment.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

Pat and I worship at the same extraordinary-rite Sunday Mass in the nation’s capital, but I haven’t had a chance to speak to him since his firing. I have read a column he wrote about it. His contract was terminated when MSNBC buckled under pressure from groups outraged by his most recent book, Suicide &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/thoughts-triggered-by-the-firing-of-pat-buchanan.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first thought when I saw in my e-mail one morning a few weeks ago that Sister Mary Bernadette had died: What would things be like at the Center now that she was gone? I wasn’t wondering what they would be like for me when next I was in Richmond. When I was there in October for the latest SBC conference, Sister no longer recognized &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/next.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, when the Catholic magazine Triumph existed and I was one of its editors, Malcolm Muggeridge stopped by our Washington offices one day. Several of us joined him for drinks on the rooftop terrace of the nearby Washington Hotel. Muggeridge, who had introduced Mother Teresa to the world with his best-selling book about her, was not yet a Catholic but on his way. &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/the-advent-of-a-new-dark-age.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As has already been noted on the SBC website, Archduke Otto von Habsburg, who in 1916 became heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, has died. I’d like to offer a couple of additional thoughts. The Archduke passed away in his sleep at his home in Bavaria during the night of July 3-4. He was 98. He lived long enough to see his father, &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/rip-archduke-otto-von-habsburg.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For better or worse, France has had a dominating intellectual and cultural influence throughout the West for a very long time. For most of the past couple of centuries, the influence has been for the worse. Many of the Enlightenment ideas that now shape our lives in society may have arisen first in England and Scotland, but it was in French that they were conveyed &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/the-right-on-the-rise.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was generally ignored, but this past February 18 was an important anniversary in American history. It was on that date 150 years ago that Jefferson Davis, former U.S. Senator and former U.S. Secretary of War, was inaugurated as the first President of the C.S.A., the Confederate States of America. Alas, he was also that nation’s only president.

It was also an opportunity to see what it’s like when the Faith is still a force &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/the-rescue-in-copiapo.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

In our day and age it might be added, “Put not your faith in celebrities.” I say that on account of the case of Mel Gibson. Back when his movie The Passion of the Christ was current a very great many Traditional Catholics went giddy, and not simply over the film.
