Pope Leo and Trump head for a clash

Trump must contend with elections and political clocks; Leo, elected for life, does not. At 70, and as a tennis player in good health, Leo appears positioned to shape Catholic politics well after Trump’s moment has passed. “He is not in a hurry,” the Vatican official said. “Time is on...

Why Should We Change the World?

We never loved this material world, the lifestyles shaped by Iblis* and his offspring, the masks to which they assigned meaning and value, and every commodity, phenomenon, and tool they divided into borders and transformed into property.

The Death of Beauty: Urban Aesthetics and the Rupture of Modernism

The twentieth century may have killed urban beauty, but it did not destroy the human longing for it. This longing remains—buried perhaps, but alive—in every traveler who feels peace in an old square, in every child who marvels at a cathedral, in every citizen who looks at their city and...
