Cannabis User?

It is the wont of Peter Hitchens to look at drug use to explain mass killings.

CWR: Islam and the London Killings By James V. Schall, S.J.

CWR: Orlando in Hindsight By James V. Schall, S.J.
While Islam is, as I judge it, a false religion, it is held by true believers who are much more accurate in their reading of their own classical texts than any of their critics.

So Long, Farewell

The Donald Trump of Catholic Higher Education by Thomas S. Hibbs
February 14, 2016
As the short-lived presidency of Simon Newman comes, apparently, to an ignoble end at Mount St. Mary's University, deeper questions remain about the focus and goals of many Catholic universities.

CWR: The "True" Islam by James V. Schall, S.J.
The writings of Rémi Brague, winner of the 2012 Ratzinger Prize, about Islam offer the sort of unflinching and detailed analysis often missing from papal utterances

One Jesuit on Another Jesuit Who Happens to be Pope

A Profile of Owen Chadwick

by David Warren

Yet I’ve been sometimes repelled by a writer who seemed himself to believe a little in progress. He was no reactionary, and he played a direct part in the evolution of, for instance, Selwyn College, which under his watch admitted men, and then women, too, of other faiths or of no faith at all. What a bounder.

That's still rather progressive. Too much of a scholar, not enough of an educator and observer of human nature?
