  Political correctness is like a tsunami in that no one understands the extent of its danger until after the massive wave sweeps across the land and then recedes. ... more
• Thou Shalt Not be Catholic Mon Apr 8
  Michael Brown
  It was prescience, not paranoia, that prompted some social commentators to predict that gay activism would become the principle threat to religious freedoms in America. A recent incident at George Washington University provides the latest confirmation. ... more

• What We Talk About When We Talk About Marriage Mon Apr 1
  Kathryn Lopez
  "We love you." The words warmed the chill during the first of two days of Supreme Court oral arguments on the future of marriage law in the United States. The scene outside the Court building, where most of the media was camped out, reminded me of the story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. Only here, everyone was using the same word, but couldn't quite agree on what it meant. ... more
• Skipping an Abortionist's 'House of Horrors' Wed Mar 27
  Brent Bozell
  The liberal media know an abortion outrage when they hear it. Sadly, they only seem to hear them from the mouths of Republican candidates, and it only takes a statement to outrage the press. Can't they find a single abortion outrage inside an abortion clinic? Such is their radicalism that nothing, absolutely nothing regarding this gruesome procedure raises their eyebrows, never mind their ire. ... more
• The Scandal of the Jewish Pope Mon Mar 18
  Michael Brown
  One of the first official acts of the newly installed Pope Francis was to reach out to the Jewish community of Rome, as his predecessor Pope Benedict had done, and he is being greeted warmly by many Jewish leaders worldwide. For most of the last 1,500 years, though, Catholic-Jewish relations have not been so warm. In fact, there was a time when the Catholic Church was rocked with a scandal: It was alleged that the Pope himself was Jewish. ... more
• Much Hope in Pope Sat Mar 16
  Kathryn Lopez
  Rome -- "May God forgive you." That's Cardinal Timothy Dolan's translation of a joke that Pope Francis told the College of Cardinals a day after being elected the 267th pontiff. ... more
• Hoping for the Real Deal in Francis I Fri Mar 15
  Mona Charen
  My favorite talk show host is John Batchelor, whose often expressed, playful worry is that he isn't being cynical enough. The wisest (or is it the most cynical?) among us recognize that a degree of caution is always advisable when dealing with fellow human beings, and that the world has never lacked for frauds, liars, and hypocrites. ... more
• Pope Francis -- Against the West? Fri Mar 15
  Pat Buchanan
  "The Faith is Europe. And Europe is the Faith," wrote Hilaire Belloc after that bloodbath we call World War I. "Either Europe will return to the Faith or she will perish." ... more
• The Surprise of Francis Thu Mar 14
  Hugh Hewitt
  “Anyone who tells you they aren’t surprised is lying.” That is what then Congressman Chris Cox told me on the KCET television set on election night 1994 when the GOP, led by Newt Gingrich, seized the House majority. ... more
• Cardinals Would Be Wise to Ignore Journalists' Advice Thu Mar 14
  Michael Barone
  The College of Cardinals met in conclave on Tuesday to begin the process of electing a new pope. The cardinals have been getting plenty of advice from American journalists. ... more
• Pope Francis Offers Hope of Humility and Touch of Humanity to Church Thu Mar 14
  Matt Towery
  In choosing Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to become its next pope, the Catholic Church offers those of us who are a part of its membership, and the rest of the world as well, the hope of a spiritual leader who can rekindle the common touch for which Pope John Paul II was so beloved -- and perhaps rid the Church of its reputation for loving the material of this world as much, if not more, than the spiritual. ... more
• A Catholic Pope, Revisited Thu Mar 14
  Michael Reagan
  By the time you read this, the world’s billion-plus Roman Catholics may have a new pope. And when the black smoke of Tuesday’s indecisive first vote has turned to the white smoke of final decision, don’t be surprised if the cardinals have chosen… a Catholic pope. ... more

• Boehner Plans to Permit and Fund Obama's Attack on Religious Freedom Wed Mar 6
  Terry Jeffrey
  When the Obama administration finalized its regulation requiring health care plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs, House Speaker John Boehner -- as this column noted last year -- was one of those who correctly argued that the regulation was an attack on religious freedom and that Congress must not let it stand. ... more

• Watch for the Anti-Catholics To Weigh in on the Papal Succession Tue Feb 12
  Hugh Hewitt
  Because the Roman Catholic Church adamantly defends life in the womb, the oldest and most infirm and the institution of marriage, it has legions of foes spread throughout major media. Those critics will surface repeatedly between now and the selection of the new pope to use the occasion to sling their stones. It is a fun time, really, since they know almost nothing of which they speak, and their agenda journalism is of so little consequence unlike the MSM's recent interventions in the presidential election. ... more
