| A proper pluralism:
Responding to Joanna Bratten's query about religious pluralism, alumnus Omar Gutierrez tries to clarify Church teaching with respect to religious freedom and freedom of conscience. |
| A wake-up call regarding the judicial usurpation of politics
Graduate student Michael Peck traces recent Supreme Court decisions, in which the court arrogates to itself powers that rightly belong to the legislative branch of government. He argues, along with many legal scholars, that this 'judicial usurpation of politics' threatens the very foundations of our democracy. He urges Americans to take the issue more seriously, and begin thinking about what can be done to reverse the trend. |
| The rise of research and the decline of religion:
Reflecting on the insights of various authors, as well as his own experience, alumnus Kevin Schmiesing shows how the emphasis on 'research' and specialization has brought about an almost total demise of religion and disintegration of knowledge at American's top universities. |
| Questions, comments and continuing conversations |
| Some follow-up remarks on the Tolkien discussion
Junior Michael Healy delves further into the question of the possibility of the real existence of Tolkien's characters, and then responds briefly to Joanna Bratten, since her article was in part inspired by something she had read in one of his. |
| Enjoying the concourse
Junior Michael Magree commends the Concourse, and, as an aside, gives his reason for disbelieving Joseph Sobran's theory about the real identity of Shakespeare.
The editor replies to Michael Magree |
