The More Superhero Story Producers Adhere to the SJW Agenda

The greater the reaction against them will be, to the point that no self-respecting male will want to be associated with their products. Which is worse in this regard, DC or Marvel?

Jack Donovan reviews it: Tribalism is Not Humanitarianism - STW Episode 17

If Donovan's characterization of the book is correct, then it certainly does fall short of the truth about tribes and community.

New Trailer for Ben Hur

With the website's recent track record, it's surprising that one of the regular contributors is panning the movie based on the trailer.

I thought it was actually a bit better than the first trailer, even if the portrayal of Christ as a hippie with a message about love is poorly done, at least as it is reflected in the trailer.

CWR: Kimberly Hahn: Wife, Mother, Author—and Local Politician
"During the course of the campaign, we knocked on over 8,000 doors, out of a possible 9,500. I campaigned the night before the election well into the darkness."

Kimberly Hahn, a respected Catholic author and wife of theologian and well-known speaker and author Scott Hahn, has entered the world of local politics. Running as a Republican reformer in an old mill town long dominated by Democrats, she won a seat on the Steubenville, Ohi...

The Machine Chugs Along

Address by Coptic Bishop

CWR Blog: Is Patriotism a Virtue? by Jerry Salyer
The fact that so few public figures openly challenge the value of patriotism indicates not a genuine consensus in favor of patriotism, but only that few public figures have given much thought to what patriotism actually is.

Carly Fiorina at the Napa Institute

WHY? Plus Marjorie Dannenfelser. Fiorina is a feminist, pure and simple. Does Ms. Dannenfelser know the truth about how radical "first-wave" feminism really was? Seeking to advance female politicians is bad enough.

Latin Catholics need to get their heads straight.
