Why I’ve Been Writing Less

June 20, 2026 • 2 mins
I realize that I have been less productive in recent times than I would like and than history attests to. I wanted to provide a brief explanation. I’ve developed a medical issue that requires intervention. I would be grateful for your prayers over the coming months. Read it instead: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/why-ive-been-writing-less

The Moment Belfast Fought Back

June 10, 2026 • 4 mins
An attempted beheading in Belfast ended when an Irishman intervened with a hurley stick. For a brief moment, the scene became symbolic of something much larger: a people deciding whether their culture, their neighbors, and their civilization are still worth defending. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/the-moment-belfast-fought-back

Avoiding the Blackpill Temptation

May 29, 2026 • 4 mins
Watching a man say yes to the call of the priesthood is always stirring. It is all the more so in a diocese plagued by uncertainty and in which personal piety and reverence are discouraged or outright sneered at. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/avoiding-the-blackpill-temptation

The Christian Meaning of Memory

May 27, 2026 • 6 mins
It’s not a given that we would care about history. In fact, it is increasingly common for people to treat our history with a sense of resentment. The monks of old spent their lives preserving such a record. Have you considered why?

We’re Trading More Than Goods

May 16, 2026 • 5 mins
We are increasing our trade relationship with China at the same time that they increase their persecution of Christians. Trade is not morally neutral. Every economic alliance carries moral consequences. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/were-trading-more-than-goods

When Envy Becomes Revolutionary: The Palisades Fire Arsonist

Through the Lens of Death

April 30, 2026 • 4 mins

Sterilizing the Poor with Despair

April 21, 2026 • 7 mins
There is an expanding worldview, even amongst Catholics, which sees children not as an end unto themselves but as a mere choice among many, a status symbol, an indicator of financial stability, or simply the means of happiness for unfulfilled couples. In this understanding, children become merely useful or not, timely or not, wanted…or not. It distorts the understanding of marriage and rips at the fabric of the family. My la...

A State Against Its Own People

April 18, 2026 • 5 mins
A state is never neutral. It encourages certain choices by what it makes easier. Now that laws are making death easier than care, an implicit statement is being made about human worth. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/a-state-against-its-own-people

The Injustice of Taxpayer-Funded Immigration Defense

April 10, 2026 • 4 mins
When we make idols of a criminal class, we make victims of the upright. California plans to use taxpayer funds to pay for immigration defense attorneys for those facing deportation. It represents a perverse redistribution of resources away from the innocent. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/the-injustice-of-taxpayer-funded

Have a Blessed Triduum

April 2, 2026 • 3 mins
The Triduum is upon us. These are the three days in which we walk with Christ through his darkest moments—those times that were so monstrous because of us. It’s also a time in which we see so clearly that He knows what it is to suffer in every way, not only in the more direct manner as upon the Cross, but in the preparation for that end: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/have-a-blessed-triduum

Losing Oneself to Performance
