Turnabout thoughts in and out of season

In the current Chronicles I review Tony Esolen’s new book Out of the Ashes.

I discuss the nature of the modern state and what to do about it in my most recent column in Crisis Magazine. What do Catholics do when the point of government is “fundamental social change” in an anti-Catholic and indeed anti-human direction?

Should the Church pay attention to what people say? I discuss the issue in my most recent column in Crisis.

My most recent column at Catholic World Report deals with the issue.

I have an (unfavorable) piece on the current papacy in the May issue of Chronicles.

I continue my worrying about current trends in my latest at Crisis.

Such is my question in my latest column in Catholic World Report.

And the technological approach to social life destroys both. So say I at Catholic World Report.

I have another piece about globalism, exclusion, inclusiveness, and the Pope in Crisis Magazine.

I just published an essay on identity as part of a symposium put on by the Sydney Traditionalist Forum.

Speculations on the meaning and uses of the Trump victory, just published in Crisis Magazine.

I have a piece in Catholic World Report on the current wave of populism and what Catholics should do about it.

I poke at the term and explore its usage in my latest column at Catholic World Report. The thought at the end, about how modern ways of thinking divide into liberalism devoid of reality and conservatism devoid of soul, needs to be developed.

I discuss the disappearance of truth in social life today at Crisis Magazine.

I contribute to a symposium on “best books read in 2016” at Catholic World Report.

I discuss the topic in connection with Brexit and the recent US election at Crisis Magazine.

I consider Christian objections to “capitalism” in my latest at Catholic World Report.

Here’s a talk I gave to the H. L. Mencken Club a couple weeks ago, published at Crisis Magazine.

Looking forward there’s a lot to do. Part of an insta-symposium at Chronicles.

What sense does it make to speak of a “dictatorship of relativism? I discuss the point in Catholic World Report.
