Five books stood out this year. In an age of excess, noise, and content masquerading as wisdom, these were rare companions: books that changed the way I think, pray, judge, and remember. From Boethius on suffering and providence, to C.S. Lewis’ medieval imagination, to ecclesial indifference, and the loss of ritual, these are books worth keeping and rereading.

Another school stabbing. More calls for metal detectors. But metal detectors don’t fix a culture that can’t raise children. Read it: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/the-moral-collapse-that-metal-detectors

Years after vilifying dissenters, the FDA now concedes vaccine deaths. But the damage to bodies, souls, and public trust cannot simply be footnoted. This late reckoning reveals more than it resolves.

If we treat people like projects to be optimized, we shouldn’t be surprised when everything becomes cold: medicine, workplaces, even our own homes. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/inside-the-sterile-doctors-office

(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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

“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.

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?

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.

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/

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.
