When Doctors Decided They Knew Best: The HHS Report and the Failure of Medical Humility
A federal report titled 'Wolves in White Coats' documents that healthcare providers altered billing codes to secure insurance approval for gender procedures on minors.

What Child Centered Play Therapy Can Teach a Priest (and an Adult in General)
Child-Centered Play Therapy identifies a basic human need: every person requires at least one place where they can bring anger, sadness, and frustration and still be accepted. A priest whose prayer life and fraternal bonds cannot fill that role faces a structural crisis, not merely a personal failing — one that drives unmet needs toward unhealthy outlets.
Winnie-the-Pooh Turns 100: Why the Hundred Acre Wood Still Feels Like Home
A.A. Milne published the first Winnie-the-Pooh stories in October 1926, and a century later global publishers and readers are marking the anniversary.

Finding Yourself by Losing: What Pope Leo XIV's Visit to San Marino Reveals About Freedom and Joy

On August 22, 2026, Pope Leo XIV stood before pilgrims in the Basilica of San Marino and told young people that 'we only find authentic freedom in Jesus Christ.' The claim cuts against the modern assumption that freedom means the unimpeded execution of one's own will.
