November begins with All Saints’ Day and is immediately followed by All Souls’ Day. My wife and I would go to those services annually. I went last November, but without her, as she had died the previous July.

Philosopher Ed Feser recently wrote that modern society is Oedipal, seeking to kill the father and defile the mother. It is a tidy summation of the twin targets of the woke movement: authority and innocence.

Catholic religious education for adults is at its heart the quest to be a lifelong learner of our precious faith. Scripture tells us the key to such an adventure: “With humility comes wisdom” (Prov 11:2).

In mid-May, finally free from nearly a year of lockdown that cancelled all my speaking engagements, I spoke to three Legatus chapters: Lexington, Louisville, and Indianapolis.

Religion and politics, we are told, are the two subjects off-limits from general conversations—the kind of conversations often had in the workplace.

Where were you when COVID disrupted your life?

The foster father of Christ has no recorded dialogue in the Gospels. But his unmistakable godliness and manhood is iconic for eternity - and especially noteworthy today when authentic masculinity is so often disparaged.

The present crisis in America is broad and deep. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated an existing crisis in which politics, morality, and religion are divided to the point that dialogue no longer seems possible. There seems little hope for a solution from within. Political parties, ethicists, and the clergy are at war with each other. Can there be a solution from the outside, above the fray?

We've been through a year of lockdowns, job loss, racial conflict, COVID anxiety, and political turmoil. As Archbishop Charles Chaput often said — his latest book, Things Worth Dying For, is well worth reading — we live in difficult times.

The past year has caused employment challenges for many in the United States in a variety of industries, with one of the hardest-hit groups being recent college graduates seeking professional starts.

Quarterback-turned-financial advisor, Travis Lulay values faith, family, and football – in that order

Carl N. Karcher (1917-2008), founder and CEO of one of the nation’s largest fast food chains, Carl’s Jr., was an unabashed Catholic – a daily communicant, man of prayer, and avid supporter of religious, pro-life, and politically conservative causes.

Sarah Landman had been stuck on a problem at work for several months when she happened to mention it to her Legatus Networks business deals group.

Pope St. John Paul II famously said: “The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family.”

January is the month when we ring in a new year with the hope that it will be both happy and prosperous. After the unusual challenges of 2020, our greeting might belie an underlying skepticism, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic that dogged us much of this past year remains with us at the turning of the calendar. We do wish for happier times.

One key source of happiness for those in the workforce is job satisfaction, often heavily dependent upon the social aspects of the office environment, a sense of purpose and value, and the opportunity for advancement.

Although the Ku Klux Klan has long ceased to be a significant influence in American life, when it is recalled it is typically thought of as an anti -black group of the Old South. But its adherents were active in other parts of the country as well and the targets of its ire also included Roman Catholics.
