ESSAYS and POSTS about the Tuam Home for Unwed Mothers, the
Quran and Christianity, the Eucharist, learning, John Paul II and Ireland,

The Real Scandal Behind the Tuam Home for Unwed Mothers | Michael Kelly | While the media rushed to exaggeration, misinformation, and fabrication, the real societal ills behind the deaths of 800 Irish children were largely overlooked.
The Quran and Christianity | Michael Coren | Islam's holy book is filled with intolerant, aggressive language that calls directly for violence against Christians.
The new manna, the Eucharist, is supernatural food given for supernatural life | Carl E. Olson | John 6, especially verses 51-71, was the most bothersome passage in the Bible for me as a Protestant.
On Learning From Not Having Learned | Fr. James V. Schall, SJ | What I call "another sort of learning" is the finding and reading those seminal books that take us to the truth and order of things.
John Paul II's Warning and Ireland's Choice | K. V. Turley | On the Feast of the Irish Martyrs, some reflections on Catholic faith and the "New Ireland".
The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal: Evangelizing Amid Poverty and Secularism | Jim Graves | An interview with Father Glenn Sudano, one of the religious order’s founding members.
Seeing the Hand of God | John Herreid | A review of Watcher from the Shore by Catholic Japanese novelist Ayako Sono
Giving Our Grief over to the "Man Acquainted with Grief" | Dn. James Keating | The pain of loss can be so difficult that many turn away from such pain and lose themselves in a world of their own making and artificial consolation.
Live, Die, Repeat--But Don’t Dissect | Andrew Svenning | Tom Cruise’s new film, Edge of Tomorrow, is a solid sci-fi flick that almost succeeds in hiding its flaws.
Toward the Gleam: Making the Sausage | T. M. Doran | I’ve been asked by many how this story came to be. Where did the idea originate? How was the “superstructure” of the story assembled?
