It was one of the most moving moments of Pope Leo XIV’s Prayer Vigil with young people at the Stade de France.

Hundreds of actors represented France’s more than 1,700 saints and blesseds, creating a striking image of a true “army of holiness.”

Pope Leo XIV was deeply moved and, in a moment that touched everyone present, even wiped away a tear.

The moment culminated in a grand fireworks celebration.

My dear Wormwood,

You still think in terms of churches and arguments. That is why you fail. The churches can be left standing. What must be spoiled is the literature that taught the young to love the Enemy before they could define Him.

Narnia is one of the more irritating of those books. Children meet Aslan first as adventure and only later discover they have been handling Christ. That is dangerous. Direct attack only makes the stories more precious. So we do not ban them. We adapt them.

Give the Voice to a so-called celebrated actress. Leave the mane. Leave the pronouns. Then the thing that was a male Christ-supposition becomes a prestige performance. The story remains famous; the meaning becomes negotiable. In a generation the story will still be beloved, but the beloved thing will no longer be Lewis’s Lion. It will be the version that flatters the age.

That is how the Enemies literature is destroyed without the vulgarity of a bonfire. Keep the title. Change the sound. When the children hear Aslan, let them hear the present century speaking through Him. Once that habit is formed, the Enemies stories survive as brands. Their doctrine does not.

Do not call it persecution. Call it interpretation. The patients prefer that word, and it does our work admirably.

Your affectionate uncle,
SCREWTAPE

During Mass at St. Gabriel the Archangel Church in Hopkins, Minnesota, a Catholic priest wept while consecrating the chalice. Later, he said he experienced Jesus shedding His blood and, at one point, could not lift the chalice because it felt so heavy.

This Pentecostal pastor tried to hold a service exactly the way the first-century Christians did it.

He told his congregation to give him 30 days to go and study and prepare.

Within those 30 days, he became Catholic.

Charlie Kirk died with a microphone in his hand—not a gun, a knife, or a grenade, but an instrument of communication. When we stop believing in the dignity of the human person, violence takes its place. A year later, that is still the wound. May he rest in peace.

What would a medieval peasant say if they visited America or Europe today?

They would be shocked by the technological advancements. No doubt.

But I suspect they would hate it.

People have no purpose. People indulge in debased vices. People are miserable. People are obsessed with image and addicted to technology.

Would they really prefer that?

Somehow I doubt it. The simple life, focusing on family, God, and community. The value of art, tradition, beauty, community, and faith.

Why would they ever trade that for the absolute nihilist mess we have created?

Leftists in Colombia told President Abelardo de la Espriella not to display his Catholic faith at public events.

He responded by crowning Our Lady of Fatima in the heart of Bogotá.

Harry Potter is a deeply Christian story with a male hero at the centre of it. At every crucial moment, it is not magic that saves Harry or anyone else, it is virtue. Magic tends to fail, even dark magic, against the power of virtue in this story.

Though the story proclaims all the character are using “witchcraft and wizardry” it is only ever the dark wizards who use real witchcraft.

Real witchcraft, is when something good is sacrificed in a transaction for personal gain (power, wealth, influence).

No transaction is done when Ron shouts “Leviosa” to lift a rock. It’s at best the kind of fairy magic present in all fairy stories. When Harry’s mother sacrifices her life to save her own child, that magic is not witchcraft either; we see it every day inherent in the virtue of good motherhood.

Whereas Voldemort’s magic, trading innocent life for immortality, is real dark magic that is also present in our own world.

Harry defeats Voldemort not through magic, but through Christian Virtue, in fact, through the imitation of Christ Himself.

If you hold your children back from this story, you are robbing them of something truly great: a story about how good defeats evil, friendships defeats selfishness and courage defeats fear.

Summer at Mount Rainier National Park means hillsides bursting with wildflowers.

These beautiful subalpine meadows have a short growing season and are incredibly fragile. Help protect them by staying on designated trails. You'll still find plenty of picture-perfect views while helping keep these meadows healthy for future visitors.
