Judge, Discriminate, and Hold Prejudices.

November 6, 2025 • 7 mins

(Just make sure they are the right ones.) Modern society treats judgment as a sin and prejudice as a crime. But without them, we lose all standards, and even justice itself. Theodore Dalrymple saw this decay firsthand. We cannot reject all prejudices, but we can choose wisely.

Don’t Blame the Universe

October 31, 2025 • 4 mins

Our language has grown timid. We say “karma,” not “justice.” “The universe,” not “God.” But empty words make empty vision. They flatten our imaginations and mislead our aims. Read: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/dont-blame-the-universe

Surrendering Truth for Peace

October 25, 2025 • 6 mins

When “peace” means surrendering the truth, it’s not peace at all. Pope Leo XIV’s prayer with King Charles III reveals what happens when faith becomes diplomacy and when nations built on Christ forget who their true King is.

Against the Cult of the Dignified Death

October 18, 2025 • 8 mins

Our culture worships comfort and efficiency, even in death. But human dignity isn’t found in control; it’s seen in the endurance of suffering, the reality of grief, and the power of love in unbearable circumstances.

Inside the Remaining Charlotte TLM

October 8, 2025 • 5 mins

It was claimed that having the TLM at parishes was divisive. So, paradoxically, faithful Catholics were forcibly divided from their parish communities and sent long distances away, that they may not worship in the same spaces as their neighbors. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/inside-the-remaining-charlotte-tlm

Where Heaven Still Touches Earth

October 4, 2025 • 4 mins

Our ancestors built for Heaven. We build for efficiency. But in Buffalo, I found a church that still remembers what beauty is for.

The Death That Spoke Louder Than Leaders

September 26, 2025 • 5 mins

The crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial reminds us of a reality that we have forgotten: that those who die for a cause only inspire others to follow them. We live in an age of comfort and uninspired leaders. We crave something more.

The Slave Market in Our Midst

September 22, 2025 • 5 mins

We claim to be better than the people of pre-modernity: learned, developed, civilized. But our most vulnerable experience a different reality. What do we do when that homosexual couple in the family texts a photo of the baby that they purchased through surrogacy? https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/the-slave-market-in-our-midst

How Many People Have You Seen Die?

September 18, 2025 • 10 mins

Have you considered the reality of how many people you have seen die, thanks to the advent of social media? After all of our desensitization, why do you think the recent deaths of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarukska hit differently? Here’s what I think. Watch on Youtube instead: https://youtu.be/z26WwdOiJvk

Did a Bullet Win the Argument?

September 12, 2025 • 4 mins

When a man known for calm debate is gunned down, we can no longer pretend the “culture war” is just words. Charlie Kirk’s murder marks the moment when violence became the Left’s argument. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/did-a-bullet-win-the-argument

The Lie of Neutrality After a Trans Shooter Strikes

September 1, 2025 • 4 mins

“It’s not political,” they say. But the Annunciation church shooting didn’t happen in a vacuum. Attempts at neutrality in the face of cultivated madness condemn us to a self-imposed blindness.

The Flag as a Symbol of a Conquered People

August 27, 2025 • 5 mins

In modern Britain, flying the national flag has become an act of protest. What does it mean when patriotism itself is treated as subversive, and what warning does this hold for the rest of the West?

To Break and to Grow as Humans

August 7, 2025 • 5 mins

We don’t know how to rest because we are somewhat under-developed. An educational system (and corresponding societal structure) set up solely to create workplace skills has resulted in a people who don’t know who they are when departed from that work.

The Decline of the West (on Holy Family Radio)

August 5, 2025 • 57 mins

I was interviewed live by Deacon Jim Thorndill on Holy Family Radio, and the conversation is now available. I was discussing my book, the decline of the West, and my journey in the faith. Originally posted: https://www.holyfamilyradio.net/featured/sarah-cain-interview/

When ‘Conservatives’ Sell Children Too

July 31, 2025 • 5 mins

Surrogacy is evil because it commodifies children and exploits women. But adoption into disordered homes isn’t a lesser evil, it’s a different one. It severs a child from the right to a mother and father, and calls the result “love.” The soft Right won’t say this. Some even defend it. That’s not compassion. That’s cowardice, and it’s betrayal.

Withholding the Eucharist? (On The Catholic Current)

July 30, 2025 • 46 mins

I joined Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J. on The Catholic Current to discuss the frenzy that occurred after a priest denied Holy Communion to a politician who voted in favor of euthanasia.

Formation or Stagnation: What Children Deserve

July 25, 2025 • 5 mins

“Adulting” isn’t a joke. It’s a cry for help from a generation that was never formed, only managed. What if the problem isn’t that young people won’t grow up, but that no one ever raised them to?

Swallow the Lie: Epstein and Impunity

July 18, 2025 • 6 mins

There is something chilling about an oligarchy that no longer even pretends to care whether the public believes its lies—when it abandons even the pretense of being representative of the people.

The False Freedom of Egoism

July 11, 2025 • 6 mins

Michelle Obama claims that women are discouraged from acting with confidence and that real freedom begins when we’re no longer bound by family. But is self-focus true liberation—or a fast track to despair?
