The corporate boys are so anxious to prove that they are not racists that they are flexing their moralistic muscles beyond recognition. WarnerMedia, which is owned by AT&T, has said that it will pull "Gone With the Wind" from its HBO Max package. It objects to the film's "racist depictions." It is too bad HBO is [...]
It is fascinating to see how white liberals are responding to the protests and the quest for racial equality. They are long on sermons but short on remedies, though that doesn’t mean they have nothing to say. They do. It's just that their ideas are either tired or amount to nothing more than grandstanding. Their intellectual [...]
Three law professors, one from Cornell and two from the University of Virginia, wrote an article in the June 8 edition of the New York Times decrying the "quiet demise of the already ailing separation of church and state." This is a false alarm. The proximate cause of their worry is the distribution of federal funds [...]
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, houses of worship have been closed down in most states for months, and in some cases they still are.

On April 14, 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked the following question on Snapchat's "Good Luck America." "If you're swiping on a dating app like Tinder, or Bumble or Grindr, and you match with someone that you think is hot, and you're just kind of like, 'Maybe it's fine if this one stranger comes over.' What [...]
"There are two things which kill the soul," wrote St. Augustine, "despair and presumption." Despair takes command when hope is jettisoned, when we give up on God. Presumption is more typically a characteristic of atheism, the conviction that we have no need of God, and are quite capable of going it alone. The faithful do not [...]
Those who truly care about the poor, such as Mother Teresa, have always had some skin in the game. In her case, it was more than a little: she gave her life to the dispossessed.
