Mosquito as “Enforcer” of Social Solidarity
America Magazine is, in its own way, an entertaining corner of the religious left published by Jesuits. It’s a reliable source of by-the-numbers leftism supplemented by pious distortions, holy evasions, extra helpings of sanctimony and regular hosannas for the Dear … Continue reading

“Another Emergency”
The Economist, at it again: THE political masters of the world are gathering in a Paris traumatised by terror to consider another sort of emergency, climate change. Trivialize much? Exaggerate much? The magazine’s ‘Erasmus’ goes on to note: The unusual … Continue reading

A Premodern/Postmodern Pope?
Cross-posted on the Corner. From First Things, an interesting take on the pope’s eco-encyclical by R.R. Reno. Here’s an extract: “Everything is connected” is [the Pope’s] mantra in Laudato Si. True to this principle, Francis links his suspicion of science … Continue reading
