Seekers or Finders?
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, February 3, 2012
All believers are "seekers," but the ultimate point is not about the seeking, but about the finding.  [Read More]
Child Sacrifice in 21st Century America
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, January 27, 2012
Thirty-nine years after Roe v. Wade created an unrestricted abortion license in the United States, and during the week when hundreds of thousands of Americans pray and march for life, all Americans ought to ponder the kind of country to which Roe v. Wade led.  [Read More]
Václav Havel and Us
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, January 20, 2012
After his death, Václav Havel's brilliant literary deconstruction of the moral tawdriness of late bureaucratic communism, the underground essay called "The Power of the Powerless," was widely and appropriately quoted. Another Havel essay from his days in opposition also bears re-reading: "The Anatomy of a Reticence," the Czech playwright's 1985 critique of the willful blindness of western peace activists about the nature of Soviet totalitarianism.  [Read More]
Converts and the Symphony of Truth
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, January 13, 2012

Breaking Bad Liturgical Habits II
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, January 6, 2012

The Weakness of Tyranny
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, January 4, 2012
What drives history over the long haul is culture: what men and women cherish, honor, and worship; what men and women are willing to stake their lives, and their children's lives, on. The truest realism, therefore, is one shaped by truths and ideals, not only by calculations of power.  [Read More]
Christmas, the Infinite, and the Finite
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, December 23, 2011
Christmas faith inspires righteous living, not by fear, but by love: the love that expresses itself in history in the humility of the Incarnation and the Holy Birth; the love that speaks of the glory of God, "wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."  [Read More]
The Cardinal Down Under
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, December 16, 2011
George Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, will be regarded by historians as the man who set the pattern for Australian Catholic prelates of the twenty-first century. In doing so, he has saved Catholicism in Australia and set it on course toward a vibrant future, evangelically and publicly.  [Read More]
Coercing Consciences
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, December 9, 2011
Some Catholics argued that, when then-Cardinal Ratzinger's warnings about the "dictatorship of relativism" were too over-the-top. Others thought the formula an accurate summary of a grave threat to freedom. Recent events throughout the western world have fully vindicated the latter.  [Read More]

More than ten years in the making, The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II -- The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy chronicles John Paul's decades-long struggle with communism and recounts the tumultuous last years of John Paul's life as he dealt with a crippling illness, "new world disorder," and corruption within the Church.

EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz is pleased to announce the impending publication of his remarkable new political biography of President Obama, Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism. Published on October 19 by the Threshold imprint of Simon & Schuster, Mr. Kurtz's Radical-in-Chief draws on never-before-seen evidence to reveal the carefully hidden tale of Barack Obama's political past.

Faith Angle Forum: Big Effects in Small Packages
Barbara Bryant, Philanthropy Magazine

"Sometimes donating to what looks like a small initiative can have a much more significant impact than you realize. Through his Faith Angle Forum, Michael Cromartie gathers a select group of distinguished scholars and nationally respected journalists-from places like the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and NPR-for in-depth discussions of some of the most crucial cultural issues facing American's today. Twice yearly, the forum holds a two-day conference to discuss religion and public life in a serious fashion, miles removed from Washington's ideological battlefields. When you think of the influence of the leading media, you understand how influential this small conference can be."
