Ken Clarke says Ukip voters are closet racists and loonies. Well, I’m not a racist. And Clarke would have had us in the eurozone: he’s the loonie, surely?
April 29, 2013
Ukip policies are mostly either sensible or profoundly right. So until the Tories come to their senses I shall be voting for them
Conviction politics is back, they say. But will the politicians keep it up; and do they really mean it?
April 24, 2013
If you believe that there is such a thing as truth, then you have to tell those who disagree with you, voters or not, that they are just wrong
Another episcopal attack on Catholic blogs. But we will not hold our tongues: and Aquinas and Newman are with us
April 19, 2013
‘If the faith is in imminent peril,’ said St Thomas, ‘prelates ought to be accused by their subjects, even in public.’ What a blogger he would have made…
The Dean of St Paul’s is right: it is not ‘appropriate’ to protest at Mrs Thatcher’s funeral. A funeral is about respecting another person’s humanity
April 17, 2013
Those who have protested against her are in any case mostly those from whom she rescued us
I knew I was going to have trouble with two popes; when we pray for the ‘Holy Father’, it’s still Benedict I think of. Fathers don’t resign: they just get old

She believed also in truth, in faith, and in hope where there was despair; and she prayed for these things, too.
Michael Philpott did evil things because of the benefits system, says AN Wilson. That’s surely a perfect example of the folly of moral relativism.
April 04, 2013
Without the welfare state, he says, Philpott would have been 'decently employed'. Maybe it’s more likely he would still have been a criminal?
Washing a woman’s feet on Maundy Thursday didn’t mean that the Pope will ordain women: but it was unsettling and it does mean something
April 02, 2013
The adventure begins: and it’s going to be a bumpy ride
How, when we read of Islamist atrocities against Christians, are we to contain and overcome the temptation to turn against Muslims?

March 25, 2013
There are some irreversible changes which cause lasting damage: others which bring real spiritual growth. Pope Francis will know the difference
Is Pope Francis indeed a member of the Argentinian Chesterton Society? Maybe: but he has surely been inspired by Chesterton’s great work on St Francis
March 20, 2013
Much will no doubt emerge over the months ahead about the new Pope’s intellectual formation. But if Chesterton were not part of it, I would be astonished
I thought that having a new Pope at last would bring some relief from hostile media attention: how wrong can you be?
