"On Epstein two things could be true at once: (a) the most lurid conspiratorial claims are fanciful and too many people are too quick to believe them but also (b) powerful people other than just Epstein himself are either guilty of similar crimes or knew of his and did nothing"

"Thucydides: Civil war ran through the cities And they reversed the usual way of using words to evaluate what they did. Ill-considered boldness was counted as loyal manliness; prudent hesitation was held to be cowardice in disguise and moderation merely the cloak of an unmanly nature. A mind that could grasp the good of the whole was considered wholly lazy. Sudden fury was accepted as part of manly valor A man who expressed anger was always to be trusted while one who opposed him was under suspicion.

"As @nfergus argues the correct analogy to understand Trump is not fascism but a mash-up of 19th century Jacksonian populism and P. T. Barnum-style showmanship and the political consensus Trump challenged was indeed broken and unsustainable. The trouble is that it does not follow (and is not true) either that Jackson/Barnum style populism really is the cure for what ails us or that Trump could ever have been the instrument to implement the proper cure. And part of the problem lies in two further American analogies to Trump that Ferguson neglects viz. a Charles Foster Kane-style egotism coupled"

"Pope Leo XIVs choices to take a traditional name and to appear in traditional papal garb as Benedict XVI did and Francis did not are small but encouraging signs of a man who subordinates himself to the papal office and understands the importance of continuity with the past"

"Hopefully one immediate effect of Pope Leo XIVs taking the name he did will be a renewal of interest in the magisterium of Pope Leo XIII who gave us one of the greatest teaching pontificates in the history of the Church"

"Those concerned that Francis and Leo XIV might have similar theological views should keep in mind that as important as theology is temperament is crucial too. Francis had a tendency to be rash stubborn impatient with precise formulations and careful reasoning insufficiently respectful of precedent unwilling to take advice vindictive and resentful of criticism. A more reasonable man even one with similar theological predilections might have been talked out of Franciss more problematic decisions"

"Pope Francis and many of his admirers showed how deeply uncharitable unmerciful and divisive they could be when they constantly attributed bad motives to those who advocated for traditional liturgy and doctrine. Some traditionalists may have had such motives but by no means all or most. The truth is that traditionalism is rooted in a deep love and longing of exactly the kind any normal human being feels for family and home and for the meaning stability and security they provide. This is how traditionalists look at the heritage of the Church and to them those who badmouth and push aside this"

"Alasdair MacIntyre has died. His classic After Virtue had a tremendous effect on me when I was an undergrad and still in my atheist days greatly reinforcing the attraction to Aristotelian ethics I had even then. (The spine of the light mauve cover of my copy like that of pretty much any copy printed in the 80s has long since turned green.) It was of course part of a larger body of work which had a similarly great impact on so many people in philosophy theology and beyond. RIP"

"The very idea that it was attendance at the Latin Mass that somehow led traditionalists to criticize Pope Francis was always laughable. What led them to criticize him were his many doctrinally problematic statements his questionable episcopal and personnel appointments his deal with the Chinese government his foot-dragging in dealing with alleged sexual abusers like Rupnik and so on. This is also why many conservatives who had little interest in the Latin Mass and who had resisted traditionalist criticisms of JP2 and Benedict XVI became critical of Francis.

"Pope St. John Paul II declared that the Church has taught in an infallible and irrevocable manner that women cannot be priests. Thus if the Church were to reverse this teaching that would (obviously) falsify Catholicism since she can hardly ever claim to teach infallibly and irrevocably if even purportedly infallible and irrevocable teaching can be reversed. Lewiss conception of papal authority is not Catholic. In fact he is committed to the voluntarist caricature of the papacy promoted by the Churchs enemies according to which a pope can teach just any old thing he wants even reversals of"

"Its just an answer to a reporters question rather than anything magisterial but intellectual honesty requires frankly acknowledging that Pope Leos remarks here as reported by @cnalive were poorly thought out and harmful. Abortion is always and intrinsically wrong whereas the death penalty and restrictions on immigration are not. Scripture the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and all popes up until Benedict XVI were crystal clear on this until Pope Franciss extreme and imprecise statements muddied the doctrinal waters.

To cite just a few names among many sainted doctors of the Church such as Thomas Aquinas Alphonsus Liguori and John Henry Newman were against abortion and for the death penalty as were sainted popes such as Innocent I Pius V and Pius X. I imagine Leo would not dare to suggest these great heroes of the Catholic faith were not really pro-life. Pope Leo XIV speaks out on Cupichs plan to bestow award on Illinois Senator Dick Durbin.

"An interesting article which suggests that Benedict resigned because the stress the job imposed on a man of his temperament was something he found not only unpleasant but truly unendurable. I continue to believe his resignation was a blunder of historic proportions but my high regard for the man has always prevented me from being angry with him (as opposed to deeply disappointed). The irony is that the fact that he found the papacy so unattractive is part of why he was the right man for it.

"A reminder of what is really at stake in the debate over Catholicism and the death penalty from an essay by the late great Cardinal Avery Dulles. As he saw a reversal on capital punishment would cast doubt on the credibility of traditional teaching in general (as I would add progressives are well aware thats the true reason for their strange obsession with reversing teaching on capital punishment). As Dulles also suggests in the case of a conflict with the teaching of scripture and tradition Catholics would be justified in adhering to that older teaching and rejecting the novelty. (The essay"
