Our language has grown timid. We say “karma,” not “justice.” “The universe,” not “God.” But empty words make empty vision. They flatten our imaginations and mislead our aims. Read: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/dont-blame-the-universe
When “peace” means surrendering the truth, it’s not peace at all. Pope Leo XIV’s prayer with King Charles III reveals what happens when faith becomes diplomacy and when nations built on Christ forget who their true King is.
Our culture worships comfort and efficiency, even in death. But human dignity isn’t found in control; it’s seen in the endurance of suffering, the reality of grief, and the power of love in unbearable circumstances.
It was claimed that having the TLM at parishes was divisive. So, paradoxically, faithful Catholics were forcibly divided from their parish communities and sent long distances away, that they may not worship in the same spaces as their neighbors. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/inside-the-remaining-charlotte-tlm
Our ancestors built for Heaven. We build for efficiency. But in Buffalo, I found a church that still remembers what beauty is for.
The crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial reminds us of a reality that we have forgotten: that those who die for a cause only inspire others to follow them. We live in an age of comfort and uninspired leaders. We crave something more.
We claim to be better than the people of pre-modernity: learned, developed, civilized. But our most vulnerable experience a different reality. What do we do when that homosexual couple in the family texts a photo of the baby that they purchased through surrogacy? https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/the-slave-market-in-our-midst
Have you considered the reality of how many people you have seen die, thanks to the advent of social media? After all of our desensitization, why do you think the recent deaths of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarukska hit differently? Here’s what I think. Watch on Youtube instead: https://youtu.be/z26WwdOiJvk
When a man known for calm debate is gunned down, we can no longer pretend the “culture war” is just words. Charlie Kirk’s murder marks the moment when violence became the Left’s argument. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/did-a-bullet-win-the-argument
“It’s not political,” they say. But the Annunciation church shooting didn’t happen in a vacuum. Attempts at neutrality in the face of cultivated madness condemn us to a self-imposed blindness.
In modern Britain, flying the national flag has become an act of protest. What does it mean when patriotism itself is treated as subversive, and what warning does this hold for the rest of the West?
We don’t know how to rest because we are somewhat under-developed. An educational system (and corresponding societal structure) set up solely to create workplace skills has resulted in a people who don’t know who they are when departed from that work.
I was interviewed live by Deacon Jim Thorndill on Holy Family Radio, and the conversation is now available. I was discussing my book, the decline of the West, and my journey in the faith. Originally posted: https://www.holyfamilyradio.net/featured/sarah-cain-interview/
Surrogacy is evil because it commodifies children and exploits women. But adoption into disordered homes isn’t a lesser evil, it’s a different one. It severs a child from the right to a mother and father, and calls the result “love.” The soft Right won’t say this. Some even defend it. That’s not compassion. That’s cowardice, and it’s betrayal.
I joined Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J. on The Catholic Current to discuss the frenzy that occurred after a priest denied Holy Communion to a politician who voted in favor of euthanasia.
“Adulting” isn’t a joke. It’s a cry for help from a generation that was never formed, only managed. What if the problem isn’t that young people won’t grow up, but that no one ever raised them to?
There is something chilling about an oligarchy that no longer even pretends to care whether the public believes its lies—when it abandons even the pretense of being representative of the people.
Michelle Obama claims that women are discouraged from acting with confidence and that real freedom begins when we’re no longer bound by family. But is self-focus true liberation—or a fast track to despair?
In recognition of the holiday, I decided to release a video about what we ought to cheer and cherish here in the United States, by looking at the state of modern culture in Britain. Happy Independence Day! Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/K5eVuqrJK-8
It is a strange feature of our times that when a priest fulfills his sacred duty, it becomes news. Such is the case with Fr. Ian Vane, who rightly refused Holy Communion to British MP Chris Coghlan after Coghlan’s public support for assisted suicide.
