Podcast: Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal

Careless Masses such as this are not a unique experience—sadly, it’s not even rare. It’s become a too-common reality wherein the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is reduced to a kumbaya session in which the consecration is treated as getting in the way of the “important” things that people want to do. This essay may be read freely at Crisis Magazine.

As a result of the closed communities that once made up our reality, people were forced to deal with one another, even when it was difficult. Nowadays, avoidance is much easier, and new options like “ghosting” allow us to hide from uncomfortable exchanges. But, is this better for us and society itself?

The near assassination of President Trump was in many ways the culmination of an environment of near-constant lies, omissions, and manipulation by a media circus intent on preventing people from being informed. Don’t allow rhetoric against radicalization to be used to silence the only remaining honest sources of news.

I went on The Catholic Current yesterday to talk about what the role should be between the Faith and the government. Should we aim for a full “separation,” as is common among atheists and Christians alike in the modern age? If not, what would an alternative look like? It was a really enjoyable conversation on one of my favorite topics: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/32054272

A giant inflatable IUD has been traveling the United States as a monument to contraception. It says so much about our culture that it could be promoted as a net good, or worse, as a “right”. Read the essay at Homefront Crusade.

I interviewed Daisy Strongin, who took hormones as a teenager in an attempt to transition to a male, and later had surgery, before eventually turning away from all of it, converting to the Faith, and having a family of her own. It’s a fascinating and beautiful story. (Watch on Youtube, if preferred: https://youtu.be/d4HJ2sBB6GE)

Our society is so sick that it pathologizes quirkiness, eccentricity, and giftedness, treating them as illnesses that ought to be fixed by the embrace of deviancy. Both individuals and society as a whole lose as a result. Read it at Homefront Crusade.

I appeared on The Catholic Current yesterday to talk about the attempts to keep Christianity out of schools, even while Pride is forced into them, whether we can have Christian values without the Faith, and other ways our society is crumbling.

A parasitic atheism is taking root, promising what it can never deliver. Richard Dawkins, once a fierce critic of Christianity, now sounds like a modern Republican, supporting ‘values’ without religiosity or Savior. Can a culture be built without either? Read the essay at Homefront Crusade.

In England earlier this year, Sam Melia, a member of the activist group Patriotic Alternative, was found guilty of the nebulous crime of, “inciting racial hatred”. He wasn’t alleged to be a threat to anyone, but his ideology itself was the real problem, established using a combination of private and public messages. Modern privacy intrusions combined with totalitarian thought crime laws are combining to create a dystopian nightmare. Read at Homefront Crusade.
