Catholicism engages EVERYTHING.
Please tune in to my new biweekly Evangelization & Culture Podcast with Word on Fire where we talk with insightful guests about faith & culture, books & ideas, history & politics. A little bit of EVERYTHING.

To what shall I compare this generation?It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, “We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.”. . . But wisdom is vindicated by her works.
-Matthew 11:16,17, & 19
I wish people who troll Bishop Barron would take a few moments to watch his Catholicism series, enjoy Heaven in Stone & Glass, listen to his homilies, read his books like The Priority of Christ & The Strangest Way. The caricature they craft is so ridiculous as to be laughable.
Gosh, I’d love to attend this debate. But I’m pretty sure I have a MAGA rally to attend that night…
If you have any doubt that the German Catholic academy has fallen into clownish irrelevance, look no further than this inane and ginned-up “controversy.”
Last summer, the vaunted “protest” consisted of 25 desultory septuaginarians holding signs and a statement from the theological faculty of the University of Munster, which was at an undergraduate level of sophistication and which betrayed not the slightest indication of any familiarity with my work.
And yes, that sound you hear in the background is Josef Pieper turning in his grave.
With respect, @TheAtlantic, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is wrong.
AI is a magnificent tool, but medicine is more than just data.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is enthusiastically lobbying our medical system to entrust AI to become our primary physicians. As a physician who has practiced internal medicine for nearly 30 years, I appreciate Emanuel’s enthusiasm.
But he is simply wrong.

I used to be so interested in the intellectual strains of politics. Classic liberalism, Burkean conservatism, etc. Now, I’m just bored & alarmed by the intellectual incuriosity of both parties. It’s just rabid spasms of rage & unthinking babbling talking points. No Ciceros here.

Big 12 statement:
"Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew. The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games."
For any father out there:
If your young daughter asks about Aritzia, tell her it is a wily, seductive monster that devours time & eats money.
Thanks for listening, Rick!
A great conversation. For me, being assigned Oakeshott as a freshman in intro Pol. Sci. was life-changing.

A dark fact about WWII deaths per 1000 (includes soldier & civilian in European theater):
- Americans: 2 of every 1000
- French: 14 of every 1000
- Russians: 50 of every 1000
- Germans: 90 of every 1000
- Ukraine: 163 of every 1000
- Poles: 200 of every 1000
War is Hell.
Reinhard Heydrich was once a husband, father, and violinist. He became the Blond Beast, the Butcher of Prague, and Hitler’s Hangman. He was once a “man” and became “like a man.”
My reflection on the darkness of man.
