Friends, just last month I had the opportunity to give a lecture at Charles University in Prague. The focus of my talk was St. Thomas Aquinas' distinctive notion of God as “ipsum esse” and its connection with some of the principal themes of Catholic social teaching.

True beauty leads by steady steps if we allow its power to work on us and lead us to the ultimate source of beauty, Christ. Show the Sistine Chapel or Chartres Cathedral; show someone how to read “Brideshead Revisited,” the stories of Flannery O’Connor, the poetry of T.S.
