THE CONTESTED MEANING OF
WOMEN’S EQUALITY

 
However much we might like our daughters and sons to see their fundamental equality emblazoned in the text of the Constitution, strict equality will not give mothers and fathers the support they need, explains EPPC Fellow Erika Bachiochi in National Affairs. A more intentional and robust family policy, on the other hand, just might.

Ms. Bachiochi’s forthcoming book, The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision, will be published in July and is now available for pre-order here.

CATHOLIC COHERENCE, CATHOLIC INTEGRITY

By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

Bishops who maintain the Church’s eucharistic integrity and coherence are not acting politically or punitively; those bishops are calling the entire Church to deeper conversion while expressing appropriate, indeed necessary, concern for the spiritual well-being and moral coherence of those under their pastoral care. Read More

A CATHOLIC MOMENT

By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
The Catholic Thing

If Protestantism no longer provides the ballast for this republic, and if Catholicism is not – at least, not presently – up to the task, then one of two options remains. Either our politics will continue to careen towards disaster or something else will, if it has not already, fill the void. Read More

BEWARE: NEW CIVICS MANDATES WILL BE WOKE

By EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz
National Review Online

A commendable desire to counter both civic illiteracy and the excesses of woke ideology has produced a new national movement to mandate history and civics standards. Unfortunately, that strategy will produce the very opposite of its intended effect. Read More

WILL JOE MANCHIN REMAIN PRO-LIFE?

By EPPC Visiting Fellow Alexandra DeSanctis
National Review Online

Senator Joe Manchin could very well choose to maintain his support for abortion restrictions and protections for unborn children and taxpayers’ rights, especially given the views of his constituents. But it’s no sure thing. Read More

THOUGHTS ON A PRO-LIFE PICKET LINE

By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel

THE PURSUIT OF HOME

By EPPC Visiting Fellow Luma Simms
Law and Liberty

When it comes to immigration, the fundamental question is: how can we help people find a home? The answer is not no borders, but humane ones. Read More

HEAVY ON THOUGHT, LIGHT ON FAITH

By EPPC Tikvah Visiting Fellow Devorah Goldman

The late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks’s book on restoring the common good in divided times is a noble project in a rich and noble life, but it fails to draw on the wisdom of his faith. Read More

THE FORGOTTEN RADICALISM OF JESUS CHRIST

By EPPC Senior Fellow Peter Wehner
The New York Times

First-century Christians weren’t prepared for what a truly radical and radically inclusive figure Jesus was, and neither are today’s Christians. We want to tame and domesticate who he was, but Jesus’ life and ministry don’t really allow for it. Read More

CHRISTMAS IN A DARK TIME

By EPPC Henry Grunwald Senior Fellow Lance Morrow
City Journal

Christmas should speak of the power of love, of forgiveness—a truce, a tenderness. There’s not much of that right now in the noisy, nasty public square. Read More

WHAT THE MAGI TEACH US

By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

The Magi, wrote Pope Benedict XVI, are not mythical figures in “a meditation presented under the guise of stories.” Rather, the Magi story helps us to “understand the mystery of Jesus more deeply.” Read More
