I comment on a recent book about Luther in my latest piece in Crisis Magazine.

American exceptionalism

My latest column in Catholic World Report discusses it, and concludes it still has something to offer. It’s not perfect, but it still lets us deal with the current situation better than they do in the EU.

Catholics and the revolutionary state

What is "pro-life"?

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.
