Frei knew that, as young students of theology, we, too, were engaged in a struggle to overcome liberalism, seeking to serve the authority of God rather than becoming spokesmen for the authority of men. The subject matter of the Apologia is Newman's struggle to remain loyal to the Church of England, a struggle he eventually lost. [...]in the Apologia, his most detailed reasons for crossing the Tiber are almost always negative, turning on many painful realizations that he was deceiving himself in his arguments for Anglicanism. The Church's power to teach with authority, her daunting weightiness, rescues reason from its \"suicidal excesses.\"

In 2018, employees at Google protested against that company's contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. Karp: \"The problem is that tolerance of everything often constitutes belief in nothing.\" [...]what seems like a grand and ambitious project-to midwife a multicultural society that transcends all differences-produces moral flatness. Karp quotes Richard Sennett, a representative establishment figure, who spoke of \"the evil of a shared national identity,\" and Martha Nussbaum, who during the heady End-of-History 1990s derided \"patriotic pride\" as \"morally dangerous\" and insisted that we pledge allegiance \"to the community of human beings in the entire world.\"

On May 23, the local ordinary, Bishop Michael Martin, announced a policy, the purpose of which was to \"complet[e] the implementation of Traditionis custodes,\" the 2021 motu proprio by Pope Francis designed to stamp out the traditional Latin Mass. Like many other dioceses, Charlotte has seen growing interest in the Latin Mass, especially among young Catholics. In the event, the presbyteral council of the diocese and chancery officials convinced Bishop Martin that conducting a jihad against a return to tradition was unwise.

A CASE STUDY in brain-dead deconsolidation: A marijuana legalization. According to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than a fifth of blacks 18 to 25 suffer from the disorder. According to the New York Office of Addiction Services, black adults constitute 37 percent of admissions to marijuana treatment programs, although blacks represent 18 percent of the states population.

In his 2024 book God-Talk, David Novak does not dispute the evident fact that Judaism and Christianity have fostered distinct intellectual traditions. Novak is no enemy of modern scholarship, but in this book (and his many other books), he insists that we should take up God-talk directly, not least because God himself has said things about himself and to us. Novak recounts a meeting at Cambridge University some years ago, at which a prominent rabbi spoke to a group of traditionally minded students.

Break out the male and female statistics, and at 21 percent of the general population, young male Christians today are the largest cohort of church-goers. Yet even in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands-deeply secular countries that have seen dramatic declines in church attendance over the last half-century-I would not be surprised to learn that the Holy Spirit is moving among young people. Young people seem to be looking for high-demand Christianity.

In the late 1980s, the waning years of the Cold War, 1 read The Open Society and Its Enemies. Read Book IV and you will be taught that sex is just coital friction, a purely physical phenomenon in which no reasonable person (having become convinced of the truth of materialism) invests emotional attachments. Read Book IIT and you will learn that the soul is material, and it dies with the body, making death nothing to fear. Whereas Lucretius articulates a therapy that promises a tranquil soul untroubled by hopes and undisturbed by ideals, Hobbes theorizes the conditions for a tranquil body politic.

In 1953, he made the following observations in a short column, \"On Our Conservative Youth,\" in a special issue of the Yale student newspaper: In this respect, once more, youth today, as far as it participates in this movement of the human spirit toward a less vulnerable faith in life than that which has been tested and found wanting, is more representative of a period of history than merely itself. The New York Times report on the court order cited the effect of the ban on Sgt. First Class Julia Becraft: \"She [sic] was so distraught over the president's order that she decided to take vacation time to focus on her mental health, and has been attending therapy sessions.\" Since 2020, not a single white man has even been nominated (of 25 total nominations). The Christian model of life must be manifested as a life in all its fullness and freedom, a life that does not experience the bonds of love as dependence and limitation but rather as an opening to the greatness of life.

Even the antebellum South resorted to the rhetoric of freedom to justify its slave economy. Vance scolded European leaders for their suppression of free speech and religious freedom-concerns that reflect America's liberal principles. Addressing the decline in solidarity, the disintegration of fundamental bonds such as marriage, and the growing distrust of elite leadership will require non-liberal policies, non-liberal principles, and non-liberal sentiments. (For the story of that ascendancy, see my book Return of the Strong Gods.) Liberalism's ideological dominance has suppressed the non-liberal elements of public life, which are essential for the health of the body politic.

Special-interest pressure campaigns have been associated in recent years with \"the groups,\" as they are often called, activists that have pushed the Democratic Party far to the left of the typical voter on issues such as immigration, race, gender identity and climate change. Alongside the Club for Growth, such groups as Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform and the Koch Network's Americans for Prosperity have made it their mission to cut taxes continuously, regardless of what most voters prioritize or the federal budget can bear. SKETCH OF AN Aristotelian argument for the First Amendment: Man is a religious animal > religious freedom. [...]in May of 2003, I emailed Vince Druding, Editorial Assistant at First THINGS, asking if he could supply me with contact information for subscribers in the Denver area.
