Blessed Antonio Rosmini
Blessed Antonio Rosmini
Oct 28, 2025 7:58 AM

Roman news agency Zenit reports the ing beatification of Antonio Rosmini. Rosmini was a notable Italian intellectual and priest who has long been among the figures highlighted by the Acton Institute’s survey of the history of liberty. An additional point making this particular road to sainthood interesting is that some of Rosmini’s thought had been called into question by the Vatican in the nineteenth century. That his theology was sound was confirmed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s vindication of his work in 2001; beatification will affirm his personal holiness.

Why the Anglican Communion Matters
GAFCON IV may seem like much ado about an already fragmented Anglican Communion, but what it heralds about the future of global Christianity is as significant as what it reminds us about the long-term spiritual impact of the British Empire. Read More… As an ecclesial model, Anglicanism has until recently managed controversy and diversity better than almost any other. The generous boundaries of the tradition have space for a wide spectrum of expressions, from low-church evangelical to the Anglo-Catholicism of...
End the Fed’s Cat-and-Mouse Game to Tame Inflation
An increasingly politicized and power-hungry Federal Reserve is doing the economy, and the average American, little good with its short-term “fixes” for inflation. We need to return to restraint and independence from shifting ideological winds. Read More… Nine times. If you’ve seen the classic ’80s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, you recognize and can hear the principal’s voice. Ferris, an overconfident and overzealous teenager, has managed to ditch school with his two pals—again. The movie depicts a classic cat-and-mouse game...
Charles Wesley: Hymn Writer of the Evangelical Revival
The less-famous brother of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, Charles nevertheless left a lasting legacy of rich hymnody that churches around the world enjoy to this day. Read More… The evangelical revival we have been revisiting not only left a legacy of Christians and churches renewed and empowered but also a devotional spirituality embedded in hymn and song. Charles Wesley (1707–1788) worked tirelessly alongside his elder brother John as evangelist and pastor. He is the less studied...
Keep The Covenant on Your Moviegoing Radar This Memorial Day
When politicians let you down and high principles are abandoned, it’s good to be reminded that there is a group of dedicated Americans for whom Semper Fi is not a cliché but a credo. Read More… This Memorial Day, there is one movie in theaters that addresses directly the experiences of veterans. While American families are entertained by the Super Mario Bros. movie, now a billion-dollar proposition worldwide, people who prefer more true-to-life action can see the movie I mend,...
Tim Keller Lives
It has been reported that Dr. Timothy J. Keller, founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC, teacher, bestselling author, and most importantly, preacher of the gospel, is dead. Don’t believe it. Read More… I’ve been a Christian for almost half a century, sometimes with a critical spirit toward sermons. So I’ll now write something I’ve never written before and never expect to write again: the best preacher I’ve ever heard “died” last Friday. I’ll refer to Tim Keller in...
Jimmy Lai Denied U.K. Human Rights Lawyer—Again
The Nobel Peace Prize–nominated Hong Konger has been dealt another legal blow in his defense against “foreign-collusion” charges under the Beijing-inspired National Security Law. Read More… Hong Kong’s Court of First Instance has rejected Jimmy Lai’s appeal challenging the denial of access to U.K. counsel. In November of last year, a national mittee denied Lai, a U.K. citizen, the right to add King’s Counsel Tim Owen, a veteran U.K. lawyer specializing in the rights of political prisoners, to his defense...
Liberty Is Not the Product of Any One Religion
A debate over whether Christianity is necessity for freedom and democracy to flourish misses the point: no one religion has a monopoly on planting the seeds for liberty. Instead, freedom is the very essence of what it means to be human. Grasping this will make cooperation between civilizations more likely. Read More… Paul D. Miller, a professor of the practice of international affairs at Georgetown University, has argued in a recent essay in Christianity Today that Christianity is not necessary...
Don’t Divinize the State
Integralists’ bid bine church and state will result in reaction and violence against the Church, its leaders and pastors, and laypeople. Better to pursue genuine Catholic principles of solidarity and subsidiarity. Read More… One consequence of what Italian philosopher Augusto del Noce calls our present “age of secularization” is the paradoxical modern tendency of atheists to divinize politics and the state. What the Church once undid, ideology would rejoin. In its extreme form, we see this in fascism, Nazism, munism....
Journalists Worldwide Demand: Free Jimmy Lai
Nothing less than the future of a free press is at stake as Lai’s trial approaches. Read More… Jimmy Lai, Hong Kong’s most famous freedom fighter, is still in prison. In September, he will face a trial that could leave him spending the rest of his life behind bars for the crime of standing against the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Hong Kong and the civil rights it had enjoyed. The CCP knows that obscuring Lai’s story is the best...
Tetris and the Birth of an Obsession
Want to blame something for your kids’ (and perhaps for your) obsession with screens? You can start with consoles like Game Boy and videogames like Tetris—the latter of which was the brainchild of a Soviet citizen living on the verge of freedom. There’s a lot of backstory to be found in that tiny screen. Read More… It may be hard to picture now, when American children spend seemingly every waking hour absorbed in Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, but once upon...
