From time to time we’ll be posting links to articles our editorial board members and contributing writers have published online, under the running title “Our Writers Elsewhere” and with the date to help with searching. Here are links to articles one editor and one writer have written for The Catholic Thing , which made a good place to start because it was easy to search.
From Hadley Arkes:
- Judge Walker and the Language of the Law ;
- The Lure of Sewing on Alligators ;
- The Puzzle and the Challenges of Pro-Life Legislation
- Post-Independence Day: The Fading of the Teaching ; and
- The Design of Legislation: Search for the Key .
From Mary Eberstadt:
- “Is This Kid Making Me Look Miserable?” ;
- On Protectors, Predators, and Prey ;
- “The Real Made Sacred” ; and
- Pride .
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
