Today is the anniversary of Roe, which technically was overturned 3.5 years ago. So what this anniversary and Sanctity of Human Life month mean in 2026? My reflections today @mereorthodoxy with a lot of help from @FavaleAbs's beautiful new novel. mereorthodoxy.com/in-this-ho…

Apparently this lecture of mine at Benedictine College made the @ThomisticInst top 3 episodes of the year. podcast.thomisticinstitute.o…

Love this reflection from the great Helen Alvare. "Or as my Brian used to ironically say: 'You’ll show them, Helen! Getting up at 4:45 am, going to bed late, being exhausted at all times, pasting yourself together with makeup and Tylenol. Yeah that’s taking it to the man!'"
The New Feminism is so much a part of my professional and personal and spiritual life—for over thirty years—that I have struggled to separate it out and hold it up for inspection. --Helen Alvare hubs.la/Q03Vxdpb0
