Antonin Scalia and the Supreme Court Henry T. Edmondson III
For twenty-nine years, Scalia, though modest in stature at 5 foot 7 inches, became a towering intellect who fundamentally changed the Supreme Court. His dissents are notable and nothing short of entertaining, but he is best known for his majority opinion in a handful of important cases that, over time, moved the orientation of the Court in fundamental ways. |

Bl. Alberto Marvelli, ‘Engineer of Charity’ Isabelle Larivee
This recent blessed of the Church lived the lay life and walked the tightrope of being in the world but not of it: an active politician who won the respect of even the Communists, lived through the bombings of World War II and the Nazi occupation of Rimini, and was a talented engineer and dedicated high school teacher. |

Every Catholic Should Be Charismatic Madeleine Dobrowski
There is a black-and-white approach to charismatic spirituality that endangers the identity of the Catholic Church. To be charismatic means to live a charism-filled life, one in which a person is radically open to the Holy Spirit and the conferment of his gifts.

The Christophers Shows Us a Great Artist Can Refresh Our Sight Leah Libresco Sargeant
A good heist movie makes promises and then keeps them but in a way that still surprises us by exceeding our expectations. The Christophers layers and then strips away lies to leave us able to recover our awe at simple truths. A great artist refreshes our sight and allows us to see the world with greater clarity and attentiveness. But even a brilliant artist relies on others to lend him her sight sometimes. |

We the Women Calls Into Question the Nature of Freedom Fr. Mike Johns
O’Donnell presents a triumphalist view of women’s rights, in which equality is slowly becoming a reality, notwithstanding the work that still awaits the next generation of women who will continue the fight. Such a narrative, however, is a bit simplistic, since it overlooks the deeper debate about the nature of freedom and the diverse answers given by women she profiles.

Truth and Falsity in the House of Fiction Joshua Hren

We Are All Free and Dependent Mark Bradford
When we acknowledge that each of us is dependent on others and that we may—at any time—become radically dependent on others because of injury or illness, our perspective on disability begins to assume a new understanding. In the end, we are all as free as we choose to be, but our freedom has been given to us for a purpose.

Katy Carl Launches Luminor to Illuminate the Catholic Vision of Life for All Readers Dr. Tod Worner
Katy Carl tells Evangelization & Culture’s Tod Worner, “In a culture so polarized, divided, and fragmented as the technofeudalist, symbolic-capitalist English-speaking world, it can be hard to know where to look for literature that is life giving instead of exhausted, demoralizing, and despair ridden. . . . Because we are Catholics, we cannot afford to be less than supporters of the arts.”

All Things Are Revealed in the Cross Dr. Richard Clements
The path God intends for us to our destination is the path of self-giving love. The nature of God, the nature of love, the nature of human beings, the meaning and purpose of human life, our intended destination, and the path to that destination are all revealed in the cross, either explicitly or implicitly.
