Mislabeling survival as Christian “nationalism”


Let's be clear about something else: what you call "Christian nationalism" is, in Britain, nothing more than ordinary citizens asserting that their own history, faith, and culture should not be erased. That is not extremism. It is survival.

You smear fathers, mothers, pensioners and preachers on a stage in Whitehall as if they were plotting some theocratic coup. They weren't. They were saying out loud what millions feel in private – that Britain is a Christian country in heritage and law, and that this heritage should not be sneered at or dismantled by cultural engineers. To brand that conviction as "a threat to us all" tells us more about your own bias than it does about them.

The truth is this: Britain's freedom, its law, its democracy, its very sense of human dignity were all born from the Christian tradition you so casually pathologise. Habeas corpus. Trial by jury. Equality before the law. The idea that every individual has worth. None of these came from "secular humanism." They came from centuries of Christian thought, hammered into institutions by men and women of faith. To denounce that inheritance as dangerous while indulging ideologies that openly call for jihad on our streets is intellectual dishonesty of the highest order.

You talk of "outside influence" from America. Where is your outrage when Gulf states pour money into our universities, funding Islamist networks that demonise Jews and women? Where is your alarm when foreign-funded NGOs stage pro-Hamas rallies in London under the guise of "human rights"? That silence is telling. Imported grievance is tolerated. Imported radical Islam is excused. But imported Christian money or rhetoric? That you brand an existential "threat."

And let's talk about threats. Is it Christians who have run grooming gangs across our towns? Is it Christians who chant for jihad outside synagogues? Is it Christians who terrorise teachers for showing cartoons, or who knife women in the street for "dishonour"? No. Yet we are told that the menace comes not from radical Islamism or the progressive Left's culture war, but from a handful of Christians who dare to say Britain should stay Christian in character.

What you really fear isn't extremism – it's resistance. Resistance to your project of turning Britain into a deracinated, post-national, post-religious experiment where every identity is celebrated except the one that built the nation. You fear that ordinary people, rooted in their faith and traditions, will refuse to be passengers on your managed decline.

You can brand it "Christian nationalism" if it helps you sleep. But the reality is far simpler. This is Britain's majority culture asserting that it has a right to exist. And if you think that is a "threat to us all," then the problem isn't with the people – it's with the elites who despise them.

Christianity in Britain is not a threat. It is the faith that shaped our freedoms, our laws, and our culture.

Austen Ivereigh. The attacks on the Pope by the Santa Marta hacks

(N.B. Pope Leo likes traditions. This is a Catholic sensibility. The low- life hack opportunists who falsely attributed moral value to the jettisoning of such during the late unpleasantness now find themselves on the outside and desperately cling to relevance by attacking the new man for not apeing his predecessor in mindless lockstep.)

Rome - The criticism levelled this morning by Austen Ivereigh at Pope Leo XIV says nothing about the Pope’s gesture. It says a great deal, instead, about the method – and the standard – of a certain brand of journalism that for years built careers, reputations and income around the figure of Pope Francis, and that now, suddenly cut off from access, is trying to stay relevant by attacking the new Pontiff with false claims and ideological distortions.

As is well known, this morning Leo XIV received monks and nuns who, according to an ancient and well-documented tradition, brought with them the lambs blessed on the feast of St Agnes. Lambs that are not killed, not mistreated, not paraded as props: they are raised, shorn, and their wool is later used to make the pallia for metropolitan archbishops. This is an ecclesial, symbolic act, deeply rooted in the tradition of the Church.

It is a tradition that was observed in the early years of Francis’s pontificate and later set aside. Not for ethical reasons – because there is no ethical issue in that rite – but simply because these things did not interest Francis. Signs, rituals and liturgical tradition were not central to his vision of governance. What mattered to him was personal loyalty. And when that loyalty failed, bishops were removed with little hesitation, canon law included.

It is worth restating this, since some today pretend to be discovering it for the first time: the lambs are shorn with full respect for the animal; shearing is a relief, not a source of suffering. Because they are very small, they are presented to the Pope lying in a basket. The videos released show calm, serene animals, certainly not “terrified” as Ivereigh claims. This is not a matter of opinion: it is a simply false statement.

Virginia Catholic Bishops blast ‘extreme abortion amendment’ after General Assembly passage

on 

The Catholic bishops of Virginia issued a forceful rebuke this week after the Democratic-controlled General Assembly advanced a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine broad abortion rights into the state constitution.

In a statement published Jan. 16, Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington and Bishop Barry Knestout of Richmond described the legislation as an “extreme and deadly ‘fundamental right’ to abortion” that will now go before voters in a statewide referendum later this year.

“This amendment would go far beyond even what Roe v. Wade previously allowed,” the bishops said, noting that lawmakers fast-tracked the measure through both chambers in just the opening three days of the 60-day legislative session – a pace the bishops called “truly shocking to the conscience.” 

Under the proposal approved by the state House and Senate, the Virginia Constitution would guarantee a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” including the ability to obtain an abortion at any stage of pregnancy without age restrictions. 

Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Knestout warned that the amendment would “severely jeopardize Virginia’s parental consent law, health and safety standards for women, conscience protections for health care providers, and restrictions on taxpayer-funded abortions.” 

“Most tragically of all,” they added, “the extreme abortion amendment provides no protections whatsoever for preborn children.” 

“No one should ever be forced to pay for or participate in an abortion,” the statement said, urging that “health and safety should be enhanced, not diminished.”

Josh Shapiro should stop his lawfare against nuns

My heart is heavy. Suicide is now legal in 13 states

 DEC 18, 2025

Trigger warning: this article discusses in-depth the experience of suicidal ideation.

I have been working on some pretty fun pieces for you in between other projects. I’ve been going through somewhat of a creative springtime as the weather has forced me indoors and looking for new ways to rest productively.


On a related note, if anyone wants a loaf of sourdough, my starter Lorenz-dough is at your service.


But there’s something that I’d like to lean into today in a somewhat informal, but serious, matter: I am deeply, deeply disturbed by the proliferation of physician-assisted death in our country.


In May, the governor of my home state of Delaware passed a medical aid-in-dying bill after the previous governor, a Democrat, vetoed it according to his conscience. Within the past week, the governors of Illinois and New York have signed bills that make physician-assisted suicide legal, making 13 states with such laws.


A few months ago I reviewed “Living and Dying Well: A Catholic Plan for Resisting Physician-Assisted Killing” by Charlie Camosy and I highly recommend reading my review(and his book) as a primer on the Catholic Church’s teaching and the beliefs that I personally hold. The realities surrounding euthanasia are complex and emotional, but life is beautiful and taking to heart the reality that life is never a burden has far-reaching implications for our world.


I am not writing to you today to present arguments about the dignity of human life or the reality that giving and taking life belongs to God alone, though.

Instead, I am writing this as someone with serious mental illness who is experiencing very real confusion as lawmakers, healthcare workers, and keyboard warriors celebrate suicide.


I have written somewhat about my own experience with mental illness, and if you follow me on social media you likely have a broad understanding of what I have gone through. Some may feel that I share too much, which is funny to me because in reality I only share a tiny snapshot of what it is really like to live with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).


There is something that I have not written about extensively, perhaps because it is something I am still working through and because it carries quite a bit of shame for me, especially as a Catholic. I have never written about the times my mental illness has led me to consider, and in some cases attempt, taking my own life.

Fed Up with Islam, James Woods Issues Savage Statement That Will Offend Every Muslim on Earth, But Could Give Hope to Everyone Else

  Dec. 19, 2025 7:30 am

Western Civilization needs to have an honest conversation about Islam after Sunday’s deadly shooting at Australia’s Bondi Beach, as it is by no means a stand-alone affair.

Actor James Woods is someone who realizes this, as his Wednesday post on social media platform X showed. Woods noted that the shooters that day in Sydney, Australia, targeted Jews celebrating Hanukkah.

He also pointed to the genocide of Christians taking place in Nigeria.

The common thread, he pointed out, is Islamic terrorists.

“It isn’t just about who is being killed,” Woods wrote. “It’s more about who’s doing the killing. It is, of course, Islamic terrorism. The jihad to eradicate ‘infidels’ and occupy their nations is in full swing.

“The only way to stop it is to state the facts out loud. And the facts are that Islam is a plague intent on ending any semblance of civilization as the enlightened world now knows it.”

Woods is absolutely correct: These terrorists are not fringe actors or radicals; these are people following the dogma found in the Quran, which is clear in its call for Muslims to use violence in furtherance of their cause.
