** TRUMP BETRAYED THE KURDS.
HE COULDN’T HELP HIMSELF.
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Peter Wehner
The Atlantic
------------------------------------------------------------
Betrayal is hardly new to President Trump, who routinely abandons people who trust in him or the nation he leads. By now, this behavior should come as a surprise to exactly no one.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
The results of a recent poll should worry backers of the foreign policy status quo. Read More ([link removed])

** MICHAEL UHLMANN, R.I.P.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel

** SHEPHERDS OF A WOUNDED FLOCK
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
The Catholic Thing
------------------------------------------------------------
Since last summer, much of the discussion about the abuse crisis has focused on justice for victims, accountability for bishops, and the role laypeople can and must play in renewing the Church. Yet in a somewhat ironic twist, there has been less attention paid to the ways in which priests have experienced the crisis. Read More ([link removed])

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Henry Grunwald Senior Fellow Lance Morrow
The Wall Street Journal

** THE TELLING TACITURNITY OF TRUMP STAFFERS
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen
Syndicated Column
------------------------------------------------------------
If President Trump’s appointees won’t even stand up straight and assert their own dignity, it’s not surprising that they shrink from vindicating the honor of the United States and the rule of law. Read More ([link removed])

** GETTING RID OF COLUMBUS DAY ENTIRELY IS A SAD DEVELOPMENT
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
Western civilization remains, for all its historical faults, the noblest civilization mankind has yet devised. Celebrations that fail to recognize that and focus only on the West’s imperfect past implicitly reject the ideas that make our society worth living in today. Read More ([link removed])

** WHAT KIND OF BELIEVERS?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column
------------------------------------------------------------
Catholicism is dying in the German-speaking world, not because the gospel has been proclaimed and found incredible or hard, but because it hasn’t been proclaimed with joy, confidence, and zeal. Read More ([link removed])

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Henry Grunwald Senior Fellow Lance Morrow
The Wall Street Journal
------------------------------------------------------------

** DON’T BE SURPRISED IF SANDERS BECOMES THE KINGMAKER OF THE CONVENTION
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
Conventional wisdom has effectively ruled Bernie Sanders out as a potential nominee and concluded that he will have to drop out if, as polls suggest, he fails to win any of the four early contests. His huge third-quarter fundraising haul — combined with the Democratic delegate rules — show why this wisdom might be wrong. Read More ([link removed])
