This is one of the articles I’ve promised to recover, originally published in an Evangelical Protestant magazine for students called Boundless, to which I was a monthly contributor before being received into the Catholic Church. You may notice a few distinctively Catholic notes.
I am not going to take a position here on whether Mr. Trump is a genius, a madman, or something in between. I do want to criticize the notion that he “acts on whims” and is “volatile.”
Whatever you may think of the DOGE up in Washington, we need something like a DOGE purge at the Vatican. This will require a strong pope who is utterly committed to the defense of the faith.
He will have to overhaul Vatican finances, but that’s only the beginning.
I have been arguing with my friends about the existence of God. How can we weigh the evidence for and against a position? How do we know how much evidence is needed to prove a position? It’s impossible to prove all of the arguments for a position.
I was part of the virtual meeting you had with my high school’s Philosophy Club, and I was very taken with your remarks about the difference between beauty and sublimity. Could you say a little more about that?
Gentle readers: Good news. Some time ago I mentioned that on the Read Articles page of this website, some of the articles had become unavailable because the magazine in which they were originally published was migrating to a new server and changing all the previous URLs. I promised to keep you posted.
