Pt II of my article on Peter Maurin & the Sillon, appropriately published on the anniversary of Pius X's letter to the French bishops that led to the end of the Sillon but also providentially opened the path to the Catholic Worker, Young Christian Workers and so many initiatives.
Here's the final piece for our forum on Personalism and the Catholic Worker, the second part of an essay by Stefan Gigacz (@cnresearch) on the formation of the Sillon Movement in France and its reverberations through 20th century Catholicism

“It feels like being on the frontier—except that you can appreciate the U.P.’s beauty without feeling like it’s always trying to kill you. It’s the kind of place that could drive you mad with love.”
Can confirm.
See our latest essay, just in time for the 4th: John-Paul Heil on the literature of the Upper Peninsula--the "51st state"!

The history of sci-fi in China through history.
Fascinating articles exploring the similarities and difference, the positives and negatives, between various era's politicised use of #scifi literature.

"Paul Elie has blessed us with a dizzyingly diverse survey of the most contentious cultural moments and personalities of the 1980s, with special attention to Catholic artists—practicing, lapsed, or in between" --Aaron James Weisel in @GenofMod genealogiesofmodernity.org/j…

What the Confessions has to tell us is that cultural prestige is not what makes you worth something. It is the blood of Christ, poured out for you—for us—that makes us all worth something.
