I have never enjoyed the daytime so much as I have enjoyed the night. There is no mystery to daylight. It is untrustworthy in how forthright it is -- it is almost garrish in its nudity. Night is when awe strikes, when thought happens, when the heavens land on the mind like a

Biggest legit criticisms of "Trad Catholics" is that a certain slice of them are very clearly uncomfortable with the Church as a global and universal institution. Adopt an almost crypto-orthodox nationalism and eurocentrism. It's a major error for a Catholic.

Judging by the habits of old men, one cannot go wrong by passing afternoons with strong black tea and the Rosary. I count them among life's most honest luxuries; they are great testaments to the good things of this life.

I spoke with one of my wife's Orthodox friends yesterday and she brought up the Bernini statue of Saint Theresa of Avila. "I don't want to judge but.. it seems almost.. lewd!" was what she said. It was an illustrative example of the differences between East and West. Western

This is absolutely true. They view it as an indictment not of their own consumer choices, but as an indictment of their identity and even spirit. Automobiling is a 'surrogate religion' for many Americans, and apostasy marks one as a damnable loser. And more than this, jealousy

Let's imagine that the Pope is indeed the direct representative of Jesus. What would you expect Jesus to say about migrants? Would you expect him to have any special interest in modern Western civilization? In preserving its wealth and comforts against the truly poor?

I swear nothing ever changes. For 11 years, I have always seemed to find myself doing exactly this: Eating pizza, sitting by a dumpster, talking on the telephone with my mother. (this is a reminder that you should call your mother today)

Mister Potato Head may be the perfect metaphor for post-Enlightenment "rationalist" culture. When every human attribute can be reduced to an object, questions of essence and being are reduced to technical, mechanical "problems" to be "solved" via reconfiguration. Trans ideology

Very soon, a piece I wrote introducing the Falling Back in Love with America project will be released -- and it will find its way into the inboxes of nearly 800,000 people. Updates soon to come. This feels surreal. Thank you all for your faithful support.

I agree. All houses should be built for sleeping, eating, and the 24/7 comfort of the woman of the house. The husband and all children should be outdoors by default unless sleeping or eating, or unless ambient temps drop below -30f or winds exceed 40mph. Children and men who

I am pleased to announce that the introductory essay for the Falling Back in Love with America project has been released this morning on The Free Press. Find the essay here: thefp.com/p/twelve-month…

The differences between maps are often incredible - and they often color our perception of place in a powerful way. The effect is similar to how font can impact writing and marketing materials - and these two maps are about as different as Times New Roman and Comic Sans. In Map

The reason that so much "travel content" is pretty much totally uncompelling is because most people now of think of travel in a decidedly anti-literary manner. "Erratically jet-set around the world to various 'destinations' for the sheer luxury / glitz / novelty of it while

Every time I see an advertisement for a male gynecologist I assume he is a skeevy pervert of the most dark-sided and incorrigible type. Am I wrong to think this?

Upstate mutuals: I have a wacky scheme I'm cooking up. If you have a good bit of free time, live near the canal, and want to make some history together, please shoot me a DM for details.

This might be the best population change map I've seen in years. Paints the picture perfectly. Large dark-red circle places are so utterly different from small dark-red circle places.

By tonight I'll have traveled almost 48 hours continuously after a bad bout of food poisoning. I'm exhausted. Logging off for a week or two to focus on writing, rest, and prayer way up north. This week has been surreal, and I am grateful in more ways than I can express. But

Oceans, lakes, and rivers across the entire world used to look like this. (but tell me again how great industrial civilization is)
