Living life to the Max
June 08, 2021
How the selfless sacrifice of the martyred priest Maximilian Kolbe inspired an anxious new father to seek wisdom in tradition
Christians have a duty to change society – yes, even at the level of the state
July 10, 2020
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus warned his disciples that some Gospel seed would fall to waste among thorns. Suffocating “cares, riches and pleasures” (Luke 8:14) are inevitable in every time and place, a temptation in every life. But what if an entire civilisation becomes a vast bed of thorns that would choke the
I know God hasn’t abandoned us. But laptop Masses are no substitute
June 12, 2020
I miss God. I miss Jesus Christ in the Euchar­ist. I wish I could tell you that the lockdown, and the suspension of public masses in the Archdiocese of New York, have proved spiritually fruitful for me: an extended Lent, a long journey into a spiritual desert that would allow the spiritually adept to take
Herald Top 10: Sohrab Ahmari: ‘Dear Covington boys: Everyone failed you’
December 30, 2019
To the boys of Covington Catholic High School: Many of you are still reeling from the trauma of the past few days. Some of you are no doubt fending off vicious online attacks, instigated by loudmouths on the internet with blue checkmarks next to their names. Your parents are worried sick about what all this portends
Suddenly ‘conspiracy theories’ look all too plausible
August 15, 2019
Much has been made in recent days of the prescient verisimilitude of Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this summer – just as America caught a glimpse of the life-world of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who died by an apparent suicide last weekend while in pretrial custody on sex-trafficking
The cautionary tale of Pastor Amy
July 18, 2019
Trouble roils Manhattan’s Riverside Church, the neo-Gothic behemoth on the Upper West Side that serves as one of the enduring bastions of American liberal Protestantism. As the New York Post (where I serve as op-ed editor) first reported last week, the church and its pastor, the Rev Dr Amy Butler, mutually parted ways amid accusations

A movement ripe for a corporate takeover
July 04, 2019
The most jarring fact about New York’s Pride March this year was how perfectly it blended into the surrounding ambience and structures of a hyper-commercialised American megalopolis. There were plenty of freaky sights, to be sure. But from my vantage point – I parked myself at the swanky bar of the Roger Hotel at the corner
We shouldn’t be surprised the corporations have taken over Pride

Pray that Charlie’s Law is passed
June 20, 2019
Can a pair of brave but terribly sick little boys, neither of whom lived to see the age of two, move a whole nation to change unjust laws? Of course, they can. Indeed, that’s what Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans are poised to achieve, when Parliament considers a law aimed at strengthening parental rights in
A masterpiece that shows why fatherhood matters
June 06, 2019
It has been weeks since I read it, but I can’t get Michael Brendan Dougherty’s debut book, My Father Left Me Ireland, out of my head. Ostensibly, Dougherty has written an epistolary memoir, composed of letters from an American son to the Irish father who abandoned him. But like all great books of the kind
Abolishing the priesthood would tear the heart out of the Church
May 23, 2019
A year ago, there appeared in the National Catholic Reporter an account of a Catholic men’s gathering at Cape Cod, which the periodical said offered “glimpses of a future church”. Blazing the path to this church of the future were the author, Bill Mitchell, and his buddies – “nine guys ranging in age from 57
