Henry T. Edmondson III
SCOTUS rendered a verdict overwhelmingly in favor of mental health professional Kaley Chiles with an 8–1 vote. Sometimes dissenting opinions are easily forgotten, and this one from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have been if it had not boded ill for the future of the Supreme Court. |

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Defends Beauty and Human Distinction Nora Kenney Mittiga
As the walls of managerial logic and technocratic homogenization close in—the sort of dehumanizing tendency the Holy Father is himself expected to address in his upcoming encyclical—Miranda Priestly’s stubborn insistence on human particularity and aesthetic rigor begin to look less like cruelty and more like heroism. |

Tempering Catholic Integralism with Girardian Realism Dr. Anne Hendershott
While integralists look to the Church’s public authority as the necessary antidote to liberal fragmentation, Girardian thought—rooted in the danger of the “scapegoat mechanism”—warns that conscripting the Church into political service risks absorbing the very rivalries it is meant to transcend. |

Salvador Dalí, the Nuclear Mystic Matthew Malone
Dalí helped define modernist art and became the icon of surrealism, influencing culture all over the world from fine art and fashion to cinema and advertising. Yet beneath the bizarre and sometimes confrontational public persona was a man grappling with faith and nonbelief dedicated to reconciling modern science with Catholicism through the medium of art. |

That They May Be One: Is Christian Unity Possible? Matthew Becklo
For the first thousand years of Christianity, the faithful were indeed united—a single flock with a single shepherd and a single leadership structure. Today, there are, by conservative estimates, over nine thousand denominations. Division is the rule, fragmentation the reality. Yet Christians are a people of resurrection hope, and That They May Be One is a radiant sign of new life. |

The Problem of Unintended Audiences Dr. Richard DeClue
Not everything is fit for every audience. The question is: How do we effectively communicate the truth and goodness of the gospel without being either repulsively unpalatable or feebly capitulatory to secular societal hangups? |

The Hero Priest of the Titanic Fr. Graham Smith
More than a tragic hero of the sinking of the Titanic, Fr. Thomas Byles transformed a sinking ship into a place of prayer, a kind of floating chapel in its final hours. In the face of terror, he remained faithful; in the presence of death, he proclaimed life; and in the moment of decision, he chose love.

Mary: Woman and Mother Dr. Richard DeClue
Because she is the one that conceives, bears, and gives birth to the child, the mother has a particular openness to new life and offers a profound gift of herself for this new life. It is in this gift of herself that the mother finds herself, her dignity, her vocation. Mary is both woman and mother, and her particular significance in salvation history is inseparable from these two distinct but related facts.

Tribes, Disasters, and Christian Community Jack Trent
Whatever good Sebastian Junger has recognized in his book, Tribe, the Christian has it all the more: Solidarity, sacrifice, and fraternal love are baked into the Christian life. Living and serving in this earthly community becomes both a preparation for and a foretaste of the ultimate communion in the next life.

I Won’t Help Train AI Christopher Hazell
What good artists do, ultimately, is render an aspect of truth to us. And to do that, the artist must not know merely about reality, or grasp a simulation of reality, but must have personally experienced reality by virtue of living within it as a conscious being endowed with a transcendent soul. |

The Digital Papacy: Newman and the Crisis of Online Catholic Discourse Dr. Matthew J. Ramage
At a moment when it seems every passing papal comment is just waiting to be amplified into an ideological weapon, John Henry Newman’s wise and sober vision offers a needed reminder that authority in the Church exists to ground our exercise of charity in the truth and to ensure that our devotion to truth never becomes detached from charity.

Deism and the Declaration Dr. Christopher Kaczor
What kind of deity is invoked by the different names in the Declaration of Independence: Nature’s God, Creator, Supreme Judge of the world, and Providence? Do they point to a deistic god, a disinterested watchmaker who makes the world but lets it go without further care or intervention? Or do they suggest a theistic conception of God, the biblical God who creates and governs as a loving Father?

Freedom Through Law: The Real Meaning of Exodus Jeff Morgan
The Prince of Egypt celebrates the vision of freedom for freedom’s sake or that God values freedom as an end in itself. In a recent homily, Pope Leo reverses that order of priority. God rescues Israel from slavery precisely because God desires to give his people the law. Through the gift of the law, God calls his people to live together in loving gratitude.

Dr. Amy Richards Reimagines the Classroom for Every Student Dr. Melissa Mitchell
At the heart of Dr. Amy Richards’s work is a compelling vision of the classroom as a doxological space; one ordered toward wonder, attentiveness, and praise. Rather than reacting to differences as challenges to be managed, she proposes that educators begin by expecting them, even anticipating them, as part of the richness of human experience.
