Memo from Paul Ryan to Georgetown Faculty: Ever Heard of a Tea Party Catholic?

Tea Party Metaphysics: Where Do We Go From Here?

By
Social conservatives must understand and embrace America’s traditional economic culture before they can contribute to its renewal.

Influential Women of the Church: An Interview with Bronwen McShea

By and
I’m hopeful, therefore, that not just ordinary readers, but also readers at the higher levels of ecclesial leadership, will learn some new things about women and Church history from my book. I also hope that some might reconsider and refine what they say in connection to the past and present role of women in Christian ecclesial and social life.

The Vocations of Woman: The Feminism of Edith Stein 

By
If our society is to answer the question “What is a woman?” we will have to think more about how women can integrate their professions with their femininity, without stifling it, and about the value of the virtues that women on average exemplify better than men. Considering Edith Stein’s thoughts on these questions is an excellent way to start.

Familial Support Is the Antidote to Bad Therapy

The Right and the Future of Capitalism: Part 1

By
Conservative economics, unlike the fundamentalism that supplanted it, embraces reason. As conservatives, we begin with a confident assertion of what the market is for and then consider the public policies necessary for shaping markets toward that end.

Hannah’s Children: An Interview with the Author

By and
In spite of all the difficulties they told me—“my body is shot,” “I’ve taken second best in my career, ” but “gosh, I would have one more.” What is this thing, that you could drag yourself through all this hardship and still want one more?

A Review of True Confessions: Voices of Faith from a Life in the Church, by Francis X. Maier

By
Maier’s love for the Church comes through in this book and is why others who love the Church will want to read it. Perhaps we can hope for a sequel in which we will get to hear more of Maier in his own words.

By
It’s way past time for consumer protection in the fertility clinic.

The Wax Nose of Neighbor Love 

By
Loving one’s neighbor is a moral imperative. How best to do so, however, is more complex than just recklessly citing this principle as immediate justification. All my point amounts to is a plea for caution.

In the Courts of Three Popes: An Insider’s Insight

By
Faithfully living what we claim to believe as Catholic Christians shapes the future. And the fact is, we can no longer afford a sclerotic Church, a comfortable Church, a get-along Church. We need to be a confessing Church, not just in our diocesan structures, but in the pews and family homes of every parish.

Get Married: An Interview with Brad Wilcox

By and
Demographer Lyman Stone projects that, on the current course, as many as one in three young adults in the United States might never marry and as many as one in four will never have kids. That’s a lot of kinless Americans. Given the importance of marriage and family for what Jefferson called “the pursuit of happiness,” this would be a tragedy. So let’s find new ways to make it easier and more appealing for young adults to get married.

Cultural Sanctification: Engaging the World like the Early Church

By
The post-conversion challenges facing Christians arose when they reentered society as baptized people and navigated the conflicts raised by their new convictions. This process demanded a culturally discerning spiritual life.

From the Editor’s Desk: Public Discourse’s Monthly Roundup, March 2024

The truth lurking inside the great morass of opinions, questions, and fears about the human condition is that a confluence of factors leads to greater personal, familial, and communal flourishing.

Sociology in the Age of Trump: The Clash of Deep Stories on the Left and Right

By
If the stories can change, it stands to reason that they can improve—or deteriorate. Responsible cultural elites of the Left and Right alike would do well to consider not only what claims they make explicitly, but what kinds of stories underlie those claims, and whether these are the right stories to tell.

The Real Mover of “the Civic Bargain”: A Review of Manville and Ober

By
Self-interest in a democracy is not necessarily an evil. It only becomes an evil when democratic government grows so intrusive in ordinary life that self-interest can only be interpreted as a kind of dissent from a general—but now all-pervasive—good.

A Third Voice: Protecting a Regime of Robust Speech on the Campus without Falling into Relativism

By
We must be clear that nothing in the search for the truth entails that we recede in any way from the surety that we have with us, now as ever, the standards for judging evil ends to be truly evil.

Friday and the Good Ways of Sorrow 

By
It’s a good day for sorrow, a habit sustaining our decency, humanity, patience, and courage for all the other days yet to come. All days bring their challenges, and there is much in our day to bemoan and condemn. Fair enough, but to have the courage and steadfastness needed to continue on, day in and day out, our sorrow serves us well.

Ask Chris Tollefsen: An Ethics Advice Column

By
The parallel to vital conflict cases is clear: do not too quickly assume that death is inevitable. Do not too quickly assume that active rather than passive harm needs to be inflicted, even as a side effect.
