We welcome Professor Bert Olivier of the University of the Free State in South Africa to examine the evolution of the term “liberal.” Are those who bear the label today truly aligned with its classical meaning, or has the concept undergone a fundamental transformation? What do these shifts reveal about contemporary understandings of freedom, authority, and the common good? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

Rumors are that the Vatican is broke. Father McTeigue has a plan: Stop spending money that doesn’t need to be spent; get more work done than ever for next to nothing. Father zeroes in on the budget for Synodality. His alternative may surprise you.

In part three of this special series on tyranny, Fr. McTeigue contends that neither virtue signaling nor continued synodal dialogue can adequately address the roots of modern oppression. As contemporary society remains entangled in networks of political, corporate, and ideological power, genuine freedom can only be found in the kingship of Christ.

What happens when the stewards of Christ stop speaking and acting with the gravity their office demands? In this powerful reflection, Fr. Robert McTeigue argues that when Church leaders ignore truth, beauty, goodness, and sacrifice, it’s not just scandalous. It can become a form of tyranny.

We welcome back Matt Archbold of Creative Minority Report to sift through some of the more bewildering headlines in the Church and the world. From eyebrow-raising religious imagery to baffling remarks from prominent Christian leaders, is it possible to stay sane, and even keep a sense of humor, when things seem to be going off the rails? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

In part two of this special series of tyranny, Fr. McTeigue explains that one of the worst forms of tyranny is to pretend that language doesn't matter. He describes what Catholic defiance to tyranny has looked like throughout the ages, and how we are called to live our Faith with courage.
